Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Cheng Huihui sat in front of the computer, its paws gripping the hem of its hood, squeezing and releasing it repeatedly. Its tail swayed back and forth behind the chair, occasionally curling up and then letting go.

"Why isn't it done yet?" he muttered to himself.

Xia He watched from the side and couldn't help but want to laugh.

The circles on the screen stopped, and Cheng Shou's old face and Duo Duo's little face appeared on the screen at the same time.

Duo Duo screamed first: "Sister! Senior Brother!"

Xia He put her index finger to her lips: "Shh—Duo Duo, don't be in such a hurry. Today is Master and Master's..."

She was stuck—calling him "Master Uncle" would offend the old Taoist priest; calling him "Uncle Uncle" would offend Cheng Huihui.

Cheng Mo chuckled, pulled her aside, and said to Duo Duo, "Today is the day Master and Uncle-Master meet and chat. Duo Duo, you just stay here and be a good girl, okay?"

Duo Duo nodded vigorously, stepping aside to pull Cheng Shou to the center of the screen: "Master, Master, look at Uncle-Master~ Uncle-Master, look at Duo Duo when you have time~"

Cheng Huihui was speechless.

Cheng Shou rubbed Duo Duo's head, looking at the hooded figure on the screen, pretending not to care, but he couldn't hide the change in his eyes.

"Grey, what's wrong? Can't you speak when you see your brother?"

Cheng Huihui flung open her hood, pulled down her mask, took out her sunglasses, and spat at the person next to her: "Bullshit! I'm clearly older than you!"

Cheng Shou chuckled: "Heh~ You've grown quite a bit. Looks like you've had a good life these past few decades."

Cheng Huihui snorted, "You've gotten so old. If Xiaoying saw you like this, she definitely wouldn't want you anymore."

When Xia He heard Cheng Huihui mention Xiao Ying, she subconsciously tightened her grip on Cheng Mo's hand.

Don't let the atmosphere plummet the moment you meet.

Cheng Shou replied quite naturally, "This is an old almanac from so many years ago. Besides, if Xiaoying could still see me, she would definitely fall in love with me again. You don't understand, this is what you call being handsome in old age."

"Pah!" Cheng Huihui spat again, "Still so shameless."

At this moment, Cheng Huihui's emotions had finally calmed down.

He raised his rat-like face and said to Duoduo, "Duoduo, your senior uncle was too excited just now and didn't have time to respond. When your senior brother goes back, I'll have him bring you a gift."

Duoduo wasn't afraid of her martial uncle's appearance at all. She had overheard her master and senior brother talking about how her martial uncle was a big rat.

Seeing it now, she only felt a sense of novelty: "Hello, Uncle-Master~ Duoduo doesn't need any gifts, it's just great to be able to see you, Uncle-Master."

Cheng Huihui was so happy that his little mustache was shaking: "Hey, Duoduo's coming to the Northeast, your Uncle-Master has taken care of everything for you."

If he knew that Duoduo was thinking, "Uncle Shi's fur looks even smoother than Da Li's, it must feel really comfortable to touch," he would definitely glare at her and blow his brow.

Cheng Shou patted Duo Duo: "Time to sleep. You have early classes and school tomorrow. If you sleep in, you won't be able to get up!"

Duoduo hummed twice and waved at the camera: "Goodbye, Martial Uncle~ Goodbye, Sister~ Goodbye, Senior Brother~"

Cheng Huihui waved her paw and said, "Goodnight, Duoduo~"

Xia He blew Duo Duo a kiss: "Go to sleep, little one."

Cheng Mo sighed, "Sigh, my status is getting lower and lower."

Duo Duo made a face at the camera: "Senior brother talks the most~"

He turned and walked away.

Cheng Mo and Xia He also left the private room and stood guard at the door, leaving the two brothers, Cheng Huihui and Cheng Shou, to chat.

After waiting for more than an hour, the door to the private room opened, and Cheng Huihui came out fully dressed: "Let's go."

After getting off the computer at the counter, Cheng Mo and Cheng Huihui walked out of the internet cafe.

"You guys go back first. I'll just wander around by myself." Cheng Huihui seemed to be in a good mood.

Cheng Mo suggested, "How about you stay at a hotel tonight?"

Cheng Huihui waved her hand dismissively: "No need. I'll go back up the mountain later. It's just that I haven't been down the mountain in a long time, so I'll just wander around and take a look."

Cheng Mo nodded: "Alright then, we won't disturb your enjoyment any longer."

Xia He waved back, "Goodbye, Senior Uncle."

The two rode their bikes back to the hotel.

Cheng Huihui watched the two figures leave, a smile on her face, though her face was hidden by a mask and sunglasses, so no one could see her.

Back at the hotel, I found a place to put the motorcycle back in its storage compartment.

Xia He, holding Cheng Mo's hand, swayed as they walked towards the elevator: "What do you think Master and the other man talked about?"

Cheng Mo shrugged: "Just reminiscing about the glorious past. We're all so old, what else can we talk about?"

Xia He nodded: "That's true."

After entering Xia He's room, the two practiced the Longevity Exercise, and Cheng Mo went back to his room to sleep.

I slept without any dreams.

The next morning.

Cheng Mo and Xia He arrived at the gym as usual.

Wang Weiguo arrived even earlier than the other two.

Cheng Mo was somewhat surprised: "Uncle, you got up early today."

Wang Weiguo sighed, "Sigh, I had something on my mind, so I couldn't sleep and got up early."

Cheng Mo and Xia He didn't engage in conversation; they immediately got into stance and started practicing their skills.

Wang Weiguo was a little frustrated that no one responded to the topic he brought up, but he still continued practicing his skills.

After completing the training session, Wang Weiguo felt refreshed and invigorated.

Actually, he had already had it done once, but he felt a little better physically, though he was still anxious.

But practicing with the two of them was a completely different experience. My anxiety and frustration disappeared, and my mind became calm.

Wang Weiguo asked them with a smile, "Do either of you have anything particularly urgent to attend to today?"

He had asked that question yesterday, and considering that Cheng Mo had mentioned feeling bored before practicing, he shook his head and said, "Uncle, just say what's on your mind."

"Then I'll be frank with you two."

Wang Weiguo carefully considered his words: "Actually, I work in real estate. There's been an accident at one of our construction sites, and work has stopped. My cousin has also fallen ill with a persistent high fever and is in the hospital. I'd like to ask you two for your help in figuring out what's going on."

Cheng Mo and Xia He exchanged a glance.

"Taking a look is no problem. However, we can't guarantee that it will solve the problem," Cheng Mo said calmly. "Besides, you know the saying, 'Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.' If something happens here, it's best to find someone from here to handle it."

Wang Weiguo nodded: "To be honest, I've sent people to look for local artisans, but there haven't been any results yet. So I'd like to ask you two for a favor and see if you can help me out. Or if either of you knows any local artisans, you can let me know, and I'll go and ask them for help myself."

Cheng Mo thought to himself: Craftsman? What the heck?

However, he still said to Wang Weiguo, "I actually know someone like that. Shall I take you there later?"

Wang Weiguo's eyes lit up: "That's great!"

Cheng Mo waved his hand: "Let's go back and wash up first, then I'll call you after breakfast."

Wang Weiguo nodded repeatedly: "Thank you both for your trouble."

Cheng Mo and Xia He turned around and went back to their room to wash up, then went downstairs together to have breakfast.

Cheng Mo casually called Deng Youcai: "Brother Deng, an uncle I know wants to ask you to do something. Is that convenient?"

Deng Youcai's voice came through: "Brother Cheng, how could it be inconvenient? But, I have a question."

Cheng Mo asked, "What?"

Deng Youcai said, "If you can't handle this, I'm afraid I can't either."

Cheng Mo laughed: "Brother Deng is too modest. I'm really not familiar with the Northeast region, so I'll have to rely on you."

Deng Youcai understood—it was a local matter, so it would be easier to handle.

"Alright, just bring your people over."

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Old Zhao has also made arrangements with Manager Ma.

Manager Ma was a progressive person. After hanging up with Lao Zhao, he found the boss's number and dialed it.

Don't ask him how he got the big boss's phone number—just say he's striving for improvement.

Beep beep beep—Connection complete.

"Who is this?" Wang Weiguo's voice came through the receiver.

"Chairman Wang, I'm Xiao Ma, the person in charge of the Beiguo Chunxiao Garden project." Manager Ma's voice was a little nervous, but also a little expectant.

Wang Weiguo said in a gentle tone, "Oh, Xiao Ma, hello, hello. What's up?"

Manager Ma quickly said, "Chairman Wang, there's been a problem at our construction site, and Mr. Wang is even in the hospital. I was thinking, could we find someone to take a look? I have a reliable master here, quite famous locally..."

Wang Weiguo listened patiently, fully understanding his subordinates' desire for advancement: "Xiao Ma, you're very thoughtful! I'll keep this in mind. Your willingness to consider the company's interests and offer suggestions shows you have a strong sense of the big picture and a sense of responsibility! Very good!"

Manager Ma felt a surge of warmth upon hearing this and quickly said, "Chairman Wang, you flatter me. I just felt I should do my part..."

"I understand," Wang Weiguo interrupted him, his tone even more amiable.

"Don't worry, I've already found someone to handle things at the construction site, so you don't need to fret. But I'm very touched by your thoughtfulness. The company needs responsible people like you. Keep up the good work, and the company won't let you down. If you have any ideas in the future, feel free to call me anytime."

Manager Ma was flattered: "Thank you, Chairman Wang! Thank you, Chairman Wang! I will definitely work hard!"

Wang Weiguo smiled and said, "Okay, that's settled then. Little Ma, I'll remember you."
