This actor is full of tricks.

"How come you've become such a crybaby after only a few days of school?"

Lin Jue gently patted Ya Ya's head. The little girl wiped her tears on Lin Jue's clothes and said sadly, "I thought you wouldn't come to see Ya Ya again."

“Didn’t we pinky swear? Uncle isn’t one to go back on his word.” Lin Jue picked Ya Ya up: “I heard you even became a class monitor, that’s amazing.”

"I even won the class's Little Labor Star award!" Ya Ya pouted, looking very proud.

"Wow! That's amazing! Uncle will give you a reward later." Lin Jue opened his mouth wide in agreement.

While cooking, the caregiver smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao will definitely be a very good father in the future. By the way, Mr. Zhao, are you married?"

"I've been single for decades." Lin Jue wiped away the tears on Ya Ya's face and put the little girl back on the ground.

"That's perfect. I have a relative who's a few years younger than you. I heard she works for a big company in Donghai. She's also like you, never been in a relationship... cough cough, but hasn't found the right person yet." It seems that older women like to play matchmaker, and the caregiver was very enthusiastic about arranging blind dates for Lin Jue.

Lin Jue quickly refused: "I'm just a wanderer who roams the world. We're from different parts of the country, so we can't really talk to each other."

As he spoke, he hurriedly took Ya Ya out the door: "Brother, I'm going to buy Ya Ya a new outfit; autumn is coming soon."

"What a wonderful person he is, my brother. It's your and Yaya's good fortune to have met such a good person as Mr. Zhao in this life." The caregiver looked at Lin Jue carrying Yaya with great emotion: "He claims to be a wanderer who roams the world, but he is actually very rich. Although he is not particularly handsome, he is the kind of person whose looks grow on you, and he looks very strong. I wonder which girl will end up with him."

"Yes, sometimes I think, how wonderful it would be if Yaya were Brother Zhao's daughter. She would definitely be very happy without me as a burden."

"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you spouting? If Ya Ya heard you say that, she would be heartbroken."

Lin Jue stayed with Ya Ya until the lunch break ended. He took Ya Ya back to school, waved goodbye to her with a reluctant look in her eyes, and turned to leave.

He sneaked back to the neighborhood where Ya Ya lived and quietly crept up to the building next door.

Quming County has a small population, and Yaya's house is located in a very remote area. Most of the residents here have already moved away, leaving behind many empty rooms that can neither be sold nor rented out and can only be abandoned.

Lin Jue went up to the second floor and pushed open a dilapidated door.

The room was basically emptied, with only some worthless junk furniture left. The old man at the shop was sitting leisurely on a tattered sofa, his eyes fixed intently on the live stream in his hands.

Occasionally, the speaker would blare, "Thank you AA. The shopkeeper on Yangtao Street gave me a Super Rocket through a loan application from my brother, sis."

"What are you looking at?" Lin Jue leaned closer and blinked a few times after seeing the content in the live stream. "Did you buy this phone just to do this kind of thing? I told you to keep a close eye on Ya Ya's safety, and you're hiding here watching live streams all day."

"By the way, where is Fu Yu?" He looked around but didn't see Fu Yu anywhere.

"You don't understand. In my day, no girl would call me 'brother.' The closest ones called me 'Daoist Xiao Tian.' Besides, I'm old enough to watch a live stream. Nobody's come over to Yaya's place these past few days." The old man watched with great interest, his eyes glued to the screen, then pointed out the window: "Fu Yu's hiding in that building across the street."

Lin Jue glanced out the window and saw Fu Yu standing by the bed in the opposite building, nodding at him. He smiled back and wisely refrained from arguing with the old man. The old man had put all his skill points into his mouth, and if he continued arguing, he would only lose.

He sat down next to the old man, took out his phone, opened a screenshot, and held it up to the old man's eyes, covering the phone in front of his face: "So, Daoist Xiao Tian, ​​do you recognize the temple mentioned here?" "What temple? Don't interrupt my live stream." The old man was about to push Lin Jue's phone away, but when he saw the content on the phone, he was instantly stunned.

Lin Jue was bored on the way to Qu Ming's car, so he opened the forum and unexpectedly found a post.

The post described a strange incident that occurred two days ago in Taining, a neighboring province: a temple suddenly appeared, and an evil Buddha statue that walked out of the temple was confronting a king from the headquarters of the Inspection Department.

Someone who wasn't afraid of death took a picture of the temple. In the rolling black clouds, a dilapidated temple was faintly visible, and the three large characters "Wushi Temple" could be seen on the gate.

Upon seeing this post, Lin Jue immediately contacted Bai Yao and learned some information about Wushi Temple, which was very likely the temple where the old man had practiced before.

Seeing the old man's expression, Lin Jue knew he had guessed correctly.

"Master Xiao Tian, ​​have you remembered anything?" Lin Jue's tone was seductive, like a demon tempting someone to eat a poisoned apple.

The old man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he pushed Lin Jue's phone away: "What a lousy temple, I've never even seen one before."

He forced a smile and stood up: "I'm going out for a stroll."

"Bi Zheng!" Lin Jue patted his backpack, and Bi Zheng appeared at the door. The chains opened one by one, sealing off all possible exits.

"No! Kid! Why are you so curious about that temple?!" The old man was getting exasperated.

Lin Jue said gently, "I just want to know more about your past."

"Hey!" the old man spat. "There are some things you can't do any good by knowing more about them."

"What's the big deal? I'm not afraid. I even dare to provoke the most vicious and evil creatures. Could there be something even more powerful than the most vicious and evil creatures in that temple?" Lin Jue said calmly. Given sufficient strength, there's no such thing as curiosity killing the cat.

The old man was taken aback: "No, not at all."

He sighed, gritted his teeth, and sat back down. Having spent so much time together, he naturally understood Lin Jue's personality: rough yet meticulous, steady yet reckless, and the kind of tough guy who wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.

He knew that he had to speak up today, whether he wanted to or not.

"You guessed right, that was the temple I visited for spiritual practice before." The old man finally let down his guard and began to honestly recount his past.

"Moreover, I didn't just spend a few years practicing at that temple when I was young; I actually stayed there until six months after the fog descended before leaving the temple."

"The reason I left..." the old man said with a bitter smile, "is because I read a forbidden book from the depths of the mist, so the abbot kicked me out."

As he spoke, he looked up at Lin Jue and said, "Do you remember when I told you the story of the merchant who wanted to resurrect his daughter in the Village of No Sound?"

"Actually, I am that businessman." (End of Chapter)
