After thinking for a while, Wang Xiao finally understood his situation a little better.

Although supernatural powers cannot be used without restraint, it's not really that bad for him. After all, the fact that using supernatural powers doesn't require him to expend any energy is already a great advantage.

Having figured this out, Wang Xiao stopped dwelling on the problem and got up again to look out the window.

Just now, although he deliberately controlled the absorption of the five elements, he still absorbed them nonetheless. Therefore, if those two Taoists were really attracted by his use of supernatural powers, they should have come over by now.

Thinking this, Wang Xiao carefully looked out the window, and the next moment, his gaze fell on two figures on the street.

It was still one fat man and one old man, both still wearing Taoist robes.

As expected...

Wang Xiao glanced at the two elderly men with solemn expressions, but didn't stare at them, quickly turning his gaze away.

Because of their practice of Qi, these extraordinary individuals possess a naturally strong sixth sense. If he keeps staring at them, he might be stared back at, but if it's just a glance, Wang Xiao is certain there's no problem.

Because there are many people watching them on the street.

After turning his gaze away, he stopped looking at them and went to lie down on the bed.

Although the fatigue from climbing the mountain today had been largely relieved by using his supernatural powers to nourish his body, the day's work, coupled with the onset of his illness, had taken a toll on his mental state.

Wang Xiao fell into a deep sleep shortly after lying down on the bed.

……

next door.

Wang Ye was listlessly playing cards with his parents, his eyelids drooping.

Compared to the two brothers, Wang's parents, who came up by cable car, were obviously not as tired, and even had a lot of energy. After arriving at the hotel, they didn't rest for long before pulling Wang Ye to play cards.

"What are you planning to eat later?" Wang Weiguo asked, casually tossing down two cards: "Two and seven."

"No." The Queen Mother shook her head, then looked at Wang Ye, who was yawning. "Fourth son, what do you want to eat?"

"I want to sleep." Wang Ye gave the two elders a resentful look and dealt two Kings.

"Hey, what's with the sleep? Young people don't need that much sleep. Let's play a couple more rounds, Ace of Spades." Wang Weiguo threw down three cards and said with a chuckle, "Besides, even your third brother, who's a patient, didn't complain of being tired. How come you're so weak at such a young age?"

Wang Ye's lips twitched. Wasn't his third brother tired? He was probably asleep next door right now. He should have known better than to live separately from Mom and Dad...

Suddenly, Wang Ye squinted at the two Aces that Wang Weiguo had thrown down, and then looked at his hand, which had gone from eight cards to five.

Seeing Wang Ye's deep gaze, Wang Weiguo's face stiffened for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Wang's mother didn't notice Wang Weiguo's actions.

"Are we playing Dou Dizhu?" Wang Ye glanced at Wang Weiguo with a twitching smile.

"Hey, hey, of course it's Dou Dizhu (a card game), you little rascal, didn't you call yourself the landlord?" Wang Weiguo quickly laughed it off and changed the subject. "Did your third brother get into any trouble while hiking today?"

Wang Ye shook his head. "No, if I didn't know that Third Brother was unwell, I would feel like I was the one who was sick."

"Huh?" Wang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a knock on the door of the room.

dong dong dong~

The group was startled by the knock on the door. Wang Weiguo's eyes lit up, and he quickly threw his cards into the deck, stood up, and said, "Let's stop playing for now, I'll go open the door."

After saying that, Wang Weiguo ignored Wang Ye's twitching lips and walked straight to the door of the room.

However, upon reaching the door, he didn't open it immediately. Instead, he first asked, "Who is it?"

"Hotel staff, the front desk just called to say that the previous guest in your room forgot an MP3 player. Would it be convenient for you to let us go look for it?"

"MP3?" Wang Weiguo paused for a moment, then nodded and opened the door. "Alright, come in..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Weiguo froze, because standing in front of him was a large, fat man wearing a Taoist robe.

"Um... are you a hotel employee? Why are you wearing a Taoist robe?" Wang Weiguo couldn't help but frown and ask.

Qin Liyun chuckled awkwardly, but seeing that Wang Weiguo didn't remember seeing the two of them on Tianjie Street earlier, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he solemnly pointed to his Taoist robe and the Zhuangzi turban he was wearing, and began to talk nonsense in a serious manner, "Oh, sir, you don't know, this is my uniform."

"Uniform?" Wang Weiguo asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Yes, sir." Qin Liyun nodded without batting an eye. "Our hotel owner is a Taoist enthusiast, so all our hotel staff wear Taoist robes. And as you can see, our hotel is called Nantianmen Hotel. What is Nantianmen? It's the gateway to the Heavenly Court in Taoist mythology..."

As if realizing she'd gone a bit off-topic, Qin Liyun coughed, "Ahem, anyway, since we're both Taoist, it's fitting for me to wear a Taoist robe to work, isn't it?"

Wang Weiguo was silent for a moment, then pointed to Zhang Zhixin following behind the fat man, "And what about him? This old man looks almost seventy, right? Can someone his age still work? Aren't you breaking the law?"

Zhang Zhixin's smiling face instantly darkened.

Qin Liyun laughed it off, "No, no, he's not seventy. He just looks older than his age. He's actually about the same age as me."

"Ahem." Zhang Zhixin coughed.

Qin Liyun immediately understood and said to Wang Weiguo, "Sir, may we go in and take a look? If you're worried, you can watch us search."

Wang Weiguo looked at the old man and the young man in front of him, thought for a moment and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded and said, "Come in."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to let Qin Liyun and Zhang Zhixin in.

Inside the house, both Wang Ye and his mother were taken aback when they saw Wang Weiguo leading two Taoist priests in.

"Old Wang, who are they?" the Queen Mother asked.

"The hotel staff said the previous guest left something behind and wanted to come in to look for it," Wang Weiguo replied.

"Is the hotel run by a Taoist priest?" Wang Ye asked Qin Liyun and the other person with a puzzled look.

"They said it was a uniform."

After entering the room, Zhang Zhixin and Qin Liyun ignored the conversation among the others and instead took a stroll around the room in a rather serious manner.

"No, is it not here?" Qin Liyun asked.

"Look carefully, it should be in this area," Zhang Zhixin replied.

The two were talking to themselves, and it did sound like they were looking for something, but judging from their appearance, it didn't seem like they were looking for anything.

After circling the room once, the two didn't search in detail. Qin Liyun said directly to Wang Weiguo, "I'm sorry, sir, the guest may have remembered the wrong room number. There's nothing of his in your room. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Wang Weiguo waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Is there anything else?"

Qin Liyun shook her head. "Since that's all, sir, we'll head back now. Please call us if you need anything."

"Okay." Wang Weiguo nodded.

Qin Liyun nodded and left the room with Zhang Zhixin.

As the door closed, the two exchanged a glance.

"Master, they're just ordinary people. Are you sure it was them who triggered the wood element energy?"

"They are indeed ordinary people, and there's no trace of them using magical artifacts to conceal their Qi." Zhang Zhixin frowned and took out a compass from his robes. "But the compass clearly shows that the location they were moved to is right here..."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhixin looked up at the rooms on both sides. "Xiaoyun, ask around on both sides. According to the compass, these two rooms might be the correct locations."
