Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Xia He released a little bit of her Qi.

The woman scratched her face: "It's a little itchy."

Xia He raised the bar a little higher: "How about this?"

The woman scratched her buttocks: "It's like you're rubbing against me."

Xia He: "..."

What a terrible description.

The woman continued, "But it smells quite nice, better than Xu Si's cigarette smoke."

Xia He asked, "No other feelings?"

The woman retorted, "What kind of feeling do you want me to have?"

"Uh..." Xia He was speechless. "It's nothing."

She didn't know what feeling she wanted, which made it all the more strange.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"

"Feng Baobao," the woman countered, "and you?"

"My name is Xia He." Xia He looked around. "Do you live here?"

Feng Baobao shook her head: "No, I'm just staking out this place with Gouwazi."

Xia He paused for a moment, then said, "Gouwazi... could it be a person's name?"

Feng Baobao nodded: "Hey, you're quite smart."

Xia He chuckled twice: "It's...it's alright."

She changed the subject: "Are you still staking out the location?"

Feng Baobao shook her head: "Not now."

"How about we go for a walk and find a good restaurant?" Xia He suggested.

Feng Baobao glanced at the sky: "There's no need to rush, it's still early."

Xia He chuckled, "The little Taoist priest used to be the one looking for food. I'll show him what I'm capable of."

Feng Baobao stared at her: "Weren't you going to take a taxi there?"

Xia He waved her hand: "No rush, eating is the most important thing."

Feng Baobao tilted her head and looked at her for a while, then scratched her face.

This girl is a bit silly.

It's so early, we can finish our business first and then have a meal. Why are we always thinking about finding a place to eat?

This doesn't look like someone who can eat a lot.

She suddenly asked, "Is that young Taoist priest a big eater?"

Xia He was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Feng Baobao pointed to herself: "They all say I'm silly, but I'm not silly at all. Most of the time I'm incredibly witty."

Xia He: "..."

Feng Baobao quite liked the girl's scent, so she agreed: "There's a commercial street over there where people from other places go to eat."

Xia He shook her head: "We need to find a place where locals eat."

Feng Baobao tilted her head: "I don't know. Only Xu Si would know about this. He went back to his room."

Xia He said nonchalantly, "It's okay, we can look for it slowly."

The two walked along the street, and before they had gone two steps, Xia He's phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Cheng Mo.

"Hey, little Taoist priest, have you found the person?"

Cheng Mo's voice came through the receiver: "Not yet, I have something to do here, you go ahead and do your work."

Xia He glanced at Feng Baobao beside her and smiled, "Okay, I happen to have something to do too."

Cheng Mo responded and hung up the phone.

……

At the entrance of the welfare home.

Cheng Mo put away his phone and looked at the person not far away.

The man was wearing an old dark gray jacket, black trousers, and old-fashioned leather shoes. He looked to be in his early fifties, but his full head of white hair made him seem much older.

His eyes were very bright, gleaming with a sharp light, and his temples were slightly bulging, clearly indicating that he was a trained fighter.

But upon closer inspection, there was a subtle sense of fatigue in his spirit, like a string that had been stretched for too long and might break at any moment.

And then, considering that Zhang Chulan is nearby...

This guy should be Xu Xiang, right? Why didn't I see Feng Baobao?

Xu Xiang also saw Cheng Mo.

He certainly recognized the young Taoist priest; he had seen the photo more than once.

Cheng Mo's name was registered within the company. He and Xia He both contributed to the Medicine Immortal Society incident, and there was a special report issued by the higher-ups.

For die-hard fans who are asleep and not thinking about anything, the latest chapter of "Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain" has been released!

Xu Xiang didn't know what Cheng Mo was doing here.

But encountering him in this place gave him a strange sense of unease.

He walked up to him and smiled, "Cheng Mo, right?"

Cheng Mo pretended not to recognize him, looked him up and down, and cupped his hands in a respectful greeting: "It is indeed I. May I ask who you are?"

Xu Xiang also cupped his hands in greeting: "Xu Xiang, who knows everything, was fortunate enough to meet Master Cheng twice when I was young. Now that I have met Master Cheng, it is truly a case of a great teacher producing a great student."

Cheng Mo nodded: "Uncle Xu, you flatter me. I am still a little inferior to my master."

Xu Xiang: "..."

He thought to himself: I was just being polite, but this young man is so arrogant.

Cheng Mo asked, "Uncle Xu, are you here on official business?"

Xu Xiang replied, "It's just a small matter. What brings you here, Master Cheng?"

Cheng Mo went straight to the point: "My master asked me to find the descendants of one of his old friends. I might as well ask Uncle Xu; I wonder if Uncle Xu knows anyone?"

Xu Xiang's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm: "May I ask which of Master Cheng's old acquaintances you are?"

"Zhang Huaiyi," Cheng Mo uttered, then smiled and asked, "Does Uncle Xu know him?"

Xu Xiang cursed inwardly.

Why does this young Taoist priest speak so bluntly, without any beating around the bush?

He maintained his calm demeanor: "Of course I know. He was once a high-ranking master of Longhu Mountain, one of the infamous Thirty-Six Thieves, but I didn't know he had a connection with Master Cheng?"

Cheng Mo thought to himself: Hey, this old guy is pretty good at keeping things to himself.

No wonder she looks so tired at this age. How could she not be exhausted from thinking about all these complicated things every day?

Cheng Mo sighed, "Of course. You know, my master is really something. How could he have connections with such a scoundrel, and then he made me, his disciple, come here to find his descendants."

Xu Xiangqian chuckled twice: "Hehe."

That was a difficult question for him to answer.

Cheng Mo suddenly asked, "Hey, by the way, Uncle Xu, you're in charge of this area, I wonder if you've heard any news about his descendants?"

Xu Xiang shook his head: "This... I really don't know."

Cheng Mo cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and asked, "Then please help me investigate. That kid's name is Zhang Chulan. He went to an orphanage after his grandfather died."

Xu Xiang was truly shocked.

This kid has investigated so thoroughly?

Does this mean that many people in the Taoist sect are paying attention to Zhang Chulan?

Can we still let A-Wu stay here?

His mind raced, but he said aloud, "I can look that up for you. But I have a question."

Cheng Mo gestured, "Please speak."

Xu Xiang carefully considered his words: "Zhang Huaiyi possesses the Eight Extraordinary Skills, and he has most likely passed them down to his descendants. If we find the person, the world of extraordinary people will probably be thrown into chaos."

Cheng Mo waved his hand: "Uncle Xu, you may have forgotten something."

Xu Xiang asked, puzzled, "Oh?"

"Zhang Huaiyi is the Old Celestial Master's junior brother." Cheng Mo said, emphasizing each word, "How many junior brothers does the Old Celestial Master have left?"

Xu Xiang remained silent.

"If you ask me, Zhang Huaiyi is an idiot, or maybe he's just a selfish bastard," Cheng Mo scoffed.

"If he really wanted to, he could bring that Qi Source Flow back to Longhu Mountain as part of Longhu Mountain's heritage, kowtow to the ancestral tablets to admit his mistakes, and then be confined for ten or eight years. What could anyone in this world do to him?"

Xu Xiang: "..."

He chuckled dryly twice: "Why are you telling me this? Besides, the person is dead, what's the point of saying these things?"

Cheng Mo waved his hand: "How is it meaningless? If the Celestial Master knew that his junior brother had such a grandson living in the world, wouldn't he protect him and take back the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

Xu Xiang thought to himself: Then there's even less chance I'll let you find the person.

Cheng Mo smiled and said, "I'm just chatting with you here. You can ignore it. I'm going to go find someone else. You go ahead and do your thing."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the welfare home.

Xu Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly called out to him, "Master Cheng, didn't you just go in?"

Cheng Mo didn't turn his head: "Oh, I just came out to answer a phone call, I haven't seen who it is yet."

Xu Xiang quickly followed: "Then shall I come with you? I'm also quite curious about what the grandson of that high-ranking master of Longhu Mountain looks like."

Cheng Mo thought to himself: Hey, let's see how long you can keep up this act.
