The door was open, and he rushed inside, taking three steps at a time, and hid under the eaves.

The maids were all baffled by what they saw.

Who is this? How did they manage to barge in like this?

Wang Kang quickly explained that he had come to take shelter from the rain.

After all, it was raining so hard outside that he hadn't brought an umbrella, and he didn't notice any signs of rain while on the bus, nor did he check the weather forecast on his phone beforehand.

The maids were unwilling to let him stay.

This is the territory of the Divine Dragon Society. How can we let outsiders in so easily?
At this moment, Zhu Xiaoling came out and asked, "What happened?"

The maids then recounted the whole story.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Zhu Xiaoling decided to let him take shelter from the rain for a while.

"Holy Maiden, why do you want to keep him?" Du Xiaoyue immediately objected.

The title "Saintess" intrigued Wang Kang.

Did I accidentally stumble into a gang?
After Du Xiaoyue finished speaking, she realized that something was amiss.

How can you address someone like that in front of outsiders?
However, they hadn't discussed how to explain it with Du Xiaoyue beforehand.

Since it's already been said, there's no going back.

“Let’s do as I say. Let him stay here for a while. We’ll let him go once the rain stops.”

They'll just stay here for a while; they won't reveal any secrets.

Seeing that the Holy Maiden was so insistent, no one dared to say anything more.

Zhu Xiaoling then led him to an unused room.

Du Xiaoyue immediately whispered a reminder to Zhu Xiaoling not to tell him about the Divine Dragon Society.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Being reminded like that made Zhu Xiaoling quite unhappy. She felt like an immature child who needed to be specifically reminded.

Wang Kang stayed in the house for more than an hour before the rain stopped. During this time, he rested in the house and no one disturbed him.

Seeing that all the girls here were beautiful, Wang Kang couldn't help but take several photos through the window.

He was extremely excited. Although he was not young, everyone has a love for beauty.

The rain stopped, and he felt the air was exceptionally fresh, so he went outside.

Zhu Xiaoling said, "Alright, the rain has stopped. Go do whatever you need to do."

Zhu Xiaoling had to let him leave, since everyone didn't really welcome him there.

"May I ask why they call you a saint?"

Du Xiaoyue seemed to have anticipated his question and had already prepared her answer.

“We used to be actors, and we acted in a play together. She played the role of a saintess of a sect in the play, so we started calling her that.”

The other maids echoed this sentiment, and Zhu Xiaoling had no choice but to nod in agreement.

This reason sounds impeccable.

"Oh, I see. Okay, I'm off then."

Although he was somewhat reluctant to leave, they had already told him to go.

Even after leaving, he still felt like he hadn't had enough.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Holy Maiden, please don't bring people in here so casually anymore."

"Of course I know, but today is a special case. Please contact Mr. Jia again."

Du Xiaoyue said she had just contacted them, but there was still no news, and she had already reported the matter to the president.

When the president heard the news yesterday, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Only now do we realize how serious the problem is.

So I decided to investigate it as soon as possible.

"Let's just wait for the chairman's news. There's nothing we can do until then."

Zhu Xiaoling nodded, then went back to her room and continued playing her mobile game.

The maids didn't try to dissuade her, saying that playing games for a long time was bad for her eyes.

After all, Mr. Jia had instructed that the Holy Maiden could play as she pleased.

Only in this way will she not overthink things.

Although Mr. Jia may be in trouble and hasn't returned yet, they must obey his orders.

Wang Kang soon arrived at the secret hideout he was looking for.

He is currently penniless, but he has already downloaded a loan app.

In the dead of night, Wang Kang lost everything again, and by this time he was already heavily in debt.

He wanted to borrow more money to continue gambling, but how could he pay it back?

He had a vague feeling that the other party might be cheating.

But he couldn't produce any evidence, and he was really unwilling to give up now.

By nightfall, he had nowhere to stay and kept thinking about going back to that guesthouse.

But he also knew that the women there were hostile towards him and probably wouldn't let him stay.

A light rain began to fall again at night, and he felt like a homeless vagrant, lost and helpless.

Why don't we try that guesthouse? Since it's a guesthouse, we should be able to find a place to stay if we pay.

However, when he arrived there, the door was already locked from the inside.

Forget it, let's try to find a solution elsewhere.

He saw that the door of a house was still open, so he went in, hoping to stay there and pay the owner some money if necessary.

There was only one old man living in the house.

He explained his purpose to the old man, hoping that the old man could take him in, and that it was inconvenient for him to leave now that it was raining.

The old man saw that he didn't seem like a bad person, so he agreed to take him in.

"Sir, thank you so much."

"When you're out and about, everyone has times when things aren't convenient, so don't be shy."

The old man tidied up the south room and said that the room had been uninhabited for many years and was a bit dilapidated, and asked him not to mind.

It turns out that the old man lived alone; his wife had passed away three years ago.

After settling in, Wang Kang kept wondering to himself, "Do I really have to find a job and work hard tomorrow?"
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, so he opened his phone to look at photos.

The girls in the photo are all very beautiful.

He then took a special look at Zhu Xiaoling's photo.

He noticed that the women all treated Zhu Xiaoling with exceptional respect.

They call her a saint, but is it just because she's acted? He felt things weren't that simple.

He became increasingly curious, but then he thought that this matter had nothing to do with him.

He suddenly remembered Zhang Beixing and wanted to call him.

But then I realized that it was so late, Zhang Beixing was probably already asleep.

Besides, it's really impolite to call someone so late.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Beixing answered the phone immediately after the call was made.

"Uncle, is there something you need?"

Zhang Beixing was quite uneasy, fearing that Wang Kang would come to him again to borrow money.

This time, he has to refuse.

"Oh, I dialed by accident, I'm so sorry, it's nothing. But since I'm calling you, I wanted to ask, do you have a girlfriend?"

Zhang Beixing then asked him why he asked that.

"Because I saw a girl today who was very beautiful, and I think she and you are a perfect match."

"Alright, stop trying to matchmake. Or I can send you a picture of this girl, and you can take a look yourself."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and sent Zhu Xiaoling's photo.

He thought that if Zhang Beixing didn't have a girlfriend, it wouldn't be bad if he could help him make it happen.

After all, Zhang Beixing had done him a favor.

But then he wondered if he was being too enthusiastic.
Isn't that wishful thinking?
The two of them don't know each other, live so far apart, and don't understand each other at all. How could it possibly work out? I just came up with a bad idea, but the words have already been spoken and the photos have already been sent.

That's enough; Zhang Beixing needs to know that he's thinking of him.

Zhang Beixing initially found the whole thing rather pointless and didn't want to pay any attention to Wang Kang.

But when he saw the photo, he was stunned. Wasn't this Zhu Xiaoling?
He had already lain down on the bed, but at that moment, as if the bed had springs, he suddenly jumped up.

Good heavens, what a coincidence! Am I seeing things?

He even rubbed his eyes.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Zhu Xiaoling.

He immediately called Wang Kang back.

Wang Kang was quite happy to receive the call.

Looks like this kid really has his eye on her.

"What do you think, Zhang Beixing? Don't you think this girl is pretty? I thought she was especially nice when I first saw her too."

"Uncle, tell me quickly, where did you meet her?"

Zhang Beixing was so excited that his voice changed.

Wang Kang didn't think much of it, assuming Zhang Beixing was just incredibly excited.

"How about it? You've found out everything, right? I knew you'd like it."

"Answer my question right now," Zhang Beixing said, immediately becoming serious.

I was so anxious.

He was still grinning and joking around, it was outrageous!
"I went to a place to take shelter from the rain today and that's when I ran into them."

Then, Wang Kang recounted the whole story to Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing was overjoyed upon hearing this. He never expected things to turn out so coincidentally; Wang Kang had unintentionally done a good deed.

"So, the place you're living now isn't far from where that girl lives, right?" Zhang Beixing asked again.

He didn't explain himself too clearly because he was afraid that Wang Kang would misunderstand him or spread the matter around, alerting Wang Kang.

“That’s right, it’s not far at all. Why don’t you come over and take a look tomorrow?” Wang Kang replied.

Zhang Beixing readily agreed, and even specifically instructed his uncle not to tell anyone about it.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kang burst into laughter.

"I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I definitely won't say anything wrong. See you tomorrow."

Zhang Beixing was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He kept thinking about calling Sun Xiuling and then Gao Wenliang.

But after thinking it over, I decided not to call them yet, and to give them a surprise later.

Moreover, I need to figure out what's going on first.

Besides, if some things become a big fuss, they might not be able to be done.

It's better to figure it out quietly first, and then surprise them.

Yes, that's settled.

He looked at the photo repeatedly, and a question began to linger in his mind: could it be that this girl just looked a little like Zhu Xiaoling?
Or perhaps she is the real saint?
But no matter what, he has to go and see for himself tomorrow.

Because he didn't sleep well the night before, Zhang Beixing couldn't get up immediately the next day.

It was Wang Kang who called him.

"Hey Zhang Beixing, when do you expect to arrive?"

Zhang Beixing then realized he had overslept and quickly said he would go right away, telling his uncle to wait where he was.

He also asked his uncle if he had anything else to do, so as not to delay him from doing other things.

Hey, why is this kid being so well-behaved today?
Wang Kang thought to himself, but said aloud, "I have nothing to do today."

Moreover, Wang Kang was in a particularly good mood because he saw that the weather was much better than yesterday.

Zhang Beixing quickly washed his face and set off.

However, that place is quite far from where he lives; it takes two hours to drive there.

In addition, Zhang Beixing got up late, so by the time he arrived at his destination, it was almost lunchtime.

Wang Kang was waiting for him at the village entrance. When he saw Zhang Beixing's car arrive, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh dear, why are you so late?"

"This place is too far, and besides, I overslept. Tell me quickly, where is that girl?"

Wang Kang smiled.

"Uncle, what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at you young people. But it's normal, you should be like this at your age."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense and just take me there already."

So the two of them arrived at the entrance of the guesthouse.

"Look, I took shelter from the rain here yesterday. There were lots of girls inside, it was like going to a girls' school."

At this moment, Zhang Beixing hesitated.

He didn't know if he could get in.

"You should just go in boldly."

"But what reason can I give to go in?"

Zhang Beixing then realized a crucial issue that he hadn't considered at all before.

"Didn't you think of this problem along the way? This is getting a bit troublesome."

Wang Kang shook his head, because he didn't know what to do either.

Zhang Beixing said he already knew the location, but he still needed to think of a better way to get in.

He told Wang Kang to go ahead and do his own thing. Of course he wanted to thank Wang Kang, but now was not the time.

"Alright, in that case, I'll be going now."

After Wang Kang left, Zhang Beixing hid under a tree nearby.

Yes, what method should I think of to get in?

Just then, Du Xiaoyue suddenly came out of the guesthouse, intending to buy something.

If Mr. Jia were here, she wouldn't have anything to do; she could relax and be completely at ease.

But Mr. Jia hasn't returned yet, so something must have really happened.

Therefore, Du Xiaoyue's face was full of frustration.

Zhang Beixing wondered if he could find Zhu Xiaoling's whereabouts through her.

So Zhang Beixing decided to follow her secretly.

After a while, Du Xiaoyue sensed someone following her, so she immediately turned around and looked coldly at Zhang Beixing.

"who are you?"

Zhang Beixing then realized that she was no ordinary person; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to discover him.

Zhang Beixing quickly said, "I'm just passing through, what do you want?"

Zhang Beixing had to pretend to be in the right.

At this moment, Du Xiaoyue didn't know what to say.

If the person is really just passing through, then you're overthinking it.

But she still looked at Zhang Beixing with a puzzled expression.

"Are you really just passing through?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"No problem, I'm sorry, I was overthinking it."

Zhang Beixing knew in his heart that, with his own strength, he was probably no match for the other party.

Therefore, in this situation, it's best not to confront the other party head-on.

Could the other people living in that house also be highly skilled masters?

Zhang Beixing felt this was highly likely. (End of Chapter)
