The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 673: Opportunity Knocks (First Day of 2025, Third Update)
After the crowd dispersed, the parents, urged by Priest Song's gentle smile, took their children and hurried home for dinner.

The streets gradually returned to calm, with only a few small vendors packing up and preparing to go home.

Although Liu Sheng and Taibai Jianxian did not receive a real apology, the problem was still resolved based on the result.

Priest Song turned around and looked back at the two of them, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry for scaring you two."

Liu Sheng patted Taibai Sword Immortal, whose cheeks were puffed up again, and said to the gentle Priest Song: "It's okay, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty."

Priest Song shook his head and said, "You can't say that. One of the duties of the temple is to educate the people and do good deeds, but obviously I failed to fulfill this duty, which led to this incident in Li County."

Liu Sheng didn't expect Song Haiyin to have such a personality, and was stunned for a moment.

Song Haiyin smiled slightly and looked at Liu Sheng steadily. There was even a hint of respect in her eyes, and she wanted to say something.

However, at this moment, several women who Liu Sheng and Li Ming had just seen at the temple gate suddenly came up from nowhere, surrounded Priest Song, and clamored for Priest Song to give them a sip of pear blossom wine to make up for the regret of not being able to receive Priest Song's blessing today.

When Liu Sheng saw a hint of apology on the face of Priest Song, he bowed, turned around and left so as not to disturb her from dealing with her believers.

There was no sign of anxiety in Song Haiyin's eyes as he objected to her leaving.

Li Ming appeared aside, "She seems to have something to say to you."

"It's definitely not convenient to tell now. Let's wait for her to come and find us."

Li Ming nodded and turned to look at Song Haiyin. Although he was still being harassed by the group of women and even more and more people were gathering, Song Haiyin still maintained a patient smile and couldn't help but sigh:

"This priest is really rare."

[However, she seems to have taken too much burden on herself.] Liu Sheng thought secretly in his heart.

Li Ming shook his head and smiled: "Isn't it the same for you and me?"

"Of course, I had no choice. My last name meant that I had to take on more responsibility."

"But you're not. You're just another way of asking for trouble."

Liu Sheng thought about it silently and it seemed to be true.

But thinking of the scene in Li Ming's dream, she shook her head and whispered: "No, you could have chosen another easier path."

Li Ming tilted his head and thought for a moment, "It seems to be true, so I can only say that it is asking for trouble."

As he was about to turn the corner, Liu Sheng looked back at Song Haiyin for the last time, his gaze fell on the tightly closed door of Zuibai Garden behind him, and his eyes sank slightly.

She turned around and saw that Taibai Sword Immortal was still looking back at the gate. She gently pulled his sleeve and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything unusual inside?"

“It smells really good in there.”

Taibai Sword Immortal sniffed, as if he was still savoring the memory.

"What a nice smell? What's that smell?" Liu Sheng asked.

"It's the smell of wine." Taibai Sword Immortal thought for a moment and said.

Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Taibai Sword Immortal could already accurately distinguish the types of fragrances. It seemed that his brain had recovered well.

"So that's why you want to go in?"

"They were the ones who asked me to go in first, saying they didn't want to play with cowards!" Taibai Sword Immortal quickly clarified.

"And then you smelled alcohol in there, so you followed them?"

"That's about it..." Taibai Sword Immortal lowered his head, knowing that he seemed to be in the wrong, and then quickly added, "But I didn't drink it secretly, because those were all children's stuff!"

"So... there is something else?" Liu Sheng asked with raised eyebrows after listening to the confusing conversation.

Upon hearing this, Taibai Sword Immortal quickly covered his mouth, as if he had been instructed not to speak.

Liu Sheng nodded slightly, stopped asking questions, and walked towards the inn with Taibai Sword Immortal.

"Don't you want to go in and take a look?" Li Ming asked.

"There will always be a chance." Liu Sheng smiled mysteriously and said, "Besides, I already know what's inside."

……

Just as Liu Sheng expected, if he wanted to enter Zuibai Garden, opportunities would naturally come to him.

At night, Liu Sheng was sitting cross-legged in the guest room practicing.

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence.

"Here it comes!" Li Ming looked happy.

The dignified Emperor Mingyuan, for the sake of gossip, actually stayed with Liu Sheng and did not return to the imperial city.

Liu Sheng did not stand up. With the help of his breath sensing, he already knew who was outside the door. Without saying anything, he waved his hand and the door opened automatically.

Song Haiyin appeared at the door, with her hand raised, ready to knock again.

"Priest Song, I didn't expect you to come to my house." Liu Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at her calmly.

Song Haiyin said softly: "There are not many outsiders in Li County, and...it is not difficult for a priest to investigate something."

Liu Sheng chuckled and said, "Then I wonder what Priest Song is doing here so late at night?"

Li Ming leaned against the bed, crossed his arms, looked at Liu Sheng with a playful smile, and said teasingly: "It seems that you don't intend to conceal your identity, and you don't intend to be respectful to the priest?"

Liu Sheng thought to himself: [She came here late at night, either to ask for something or to ask something. I think she probably saw something, so there is no point in hiding it.]

Song Haiyin walked into the house and closed the door.

She didn't speak immediately and remained calm on the surface, but from her slightly trembling pupils and tightly bitten lower lip, one could clearly feel her inner panic and nervousness.

So Liu Sheng didn't urge her and waited quietly for her to speak.

After a while, Song Haiyin suddenly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Please God save Li County."

Liu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned and his eyes widened.

Li Ming's playful smile was even more obvious.

"Why do you say that, Priest Song?" Liu Sheng got off the bed and stretched out his hand to lift up Song Haiyin.

Song Haiyin felt as if she was burned by Liu Sheng's touch and quickly stepped back respectfully.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Why does the Supreme God have to tease me again... a mortal? I have already seen through your golden body. I know that the Supreme God must have his own purpose in disguising his identity. If there is no other way, how dare I disturb you in the middle of the night?"

Liu Sheng didn't expect that a trainee priest like Song Haiyin could actually see his divine attributes. This was the first time he had seen this among ordinary people.

With a thought, he analyzed Song Haiyin.

Liu Sheng didn't expect that although Song Haiyin's cultivation was not high, his priest rank was surprisingly high.

Moreover, it turns out that a fifth-level priest has three skills. This is the first time Liu Sheng knows this.

[The amount of faith accumulated by her temple is extraordinary, and it is not shared with other priests. In addition to the high trust of the people, her merits are abundant, so her actual priest rank is not low.]

The low-profile version of "World" explains.

[According to this priest's level, it should help boost her cultivation, but there is an 87.64% chance that she used too much resonance, thus affecting her cultivation...]

Liu Sheng thought about Song Haiyin's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and then he understood.

But another doubt arises:
[But why is she still dressed like an apprentice priest? ]

"Because she hasn't climbed the stairs yet." Li Ming suddenly said from the side. She was very clear about this.

【Climb the stairs? 】

Li Ming nodded, "Yes, the priests of the temple must report their work every year. Only after passing the assessment can they enter Chang'an to take the steps for promotion."

Then, her eyes darkened: "However, even if you pass the assessment, you may not necessarily get the opportunity to ascend. Other factors must be considered, such as cultivation, merit, achievements, etc..."

Liu Sheng smiled coldly in his heart: [There is one more item, a favor, right? ]

Li Ming nodded and said, "You are right. She is probably stuck because of human relationships."

After Liu Sheng understood why Song Haiyin sensed his divine attributes, he did not deny it anymore, but went straight to the point:

"Priest Song, what exactly are you asking for? How can we save Li County?"

Song Haiyin knew that Liu Sheng had agreed to this, and she was happy, but then her face turned sad and she said, "This matter is still Fannu's fault..."

Liu Sheng said in a deep voice: "It should be related to the fact that you keep a strange creature, right?"

Song Haiyin was shocked and her eyes widened.

Then, her whole body went limp, as if she had lost all her strength. She sat down on the ground dejectedly and whispered, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the God."
