The next morning~
Knock, knock, knock~
Yu Daochen was still asleep when he heard the sound of his door being knocked. Yu Daochen groggily opened his eyes and saw Zhou Fu already tidying up the sect leader's robe he had changed out of.
This kid Zhou Fu really has the potential to be a nanny.
Seeing someone open the door, Zhou Fu walked over and opened it to see Zhang Xiaoqiang with a smiling face.
Zhang Xiaoqiang glanced at Yu Daochen, who was still lying in bed: "Yo, Master Yu, why did you change your sect leader's robe?"
Yu Daochen rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Do you think I'm like you, always wearing a suit whether it's windy, rainy, or scorching hot?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes: "Master Yu, you don't understand, this is called sophistication."
Yu Daochen couldn't be bothered with this guy and got up to start packing.
After everyone had packed their things, they arrived at the hotel lobby. Yu Daochen looked at the young man behind Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Seeing Yu Daochen looking at the disciple who had just returned that morning, Zhang Xiaoqiang called out, "Say hello to Master Yu."
The young man respectfully called out, "Master Yu."
Yu Daochen waved his hand: "No need to be so polite."
Although Yu Daochen didn't have a good impression of the people from the Yan Shu Sect, they were brought by Zhang Xiaoqiang, so he was still somewhat polite.
Da Hu looked at everyone: "Since none of you drove here, if you don't mind, I can give you a ride back in my van."
Su Lai had a lewd expression: "Since Brother Da Hu has offered, I respectfully accept."
Yu Daochen was a little speechless. Su Lai's thick skin was as usual. He must have gambled away all his money before coming here.
Yu Daochen seriously suspected that the meals he had eaten these past few days were paid for by the disciples Su Lai brought with him.
"Then we'll trouble you, Brother Da Hu," Yu Daochen also said.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to spend money. The train station was too far from here, and taking the bus was inconvenient. It was a good opportunity to give Su Lai a ride and save some unnecessary expenses.
(Actually, Yu Daochen was just unwilling to spend money.)
"I won't be going with you," Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head and refused.
Yu Daochen and the others looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang in confusion.
Zhang Xiaoqiang scratched the back of his head and explained, "Since I have the chance, I'll go meet some of my old fellow disciples from the Heavenly Master's Mansion. I won't be with you."
Yu Daochen chuckled inwardly. This kid Qiangzi really cared about the situation of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. No wonder Daoist Lingze doted on Qiangzi so much.
"Alright, since you're not going with us, be careful," Yu Daochen reminded him.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded: "Don't worry, after I finish this, I'll bring Su Qing to the shop to drink with you."
Yu Daochen rolled his eyes: "You better not come."
If this guy brought his wife, it would be like feeding him dog food.
This Qiangzi is really wicked.
After a few more casual chats, Da Hu led everyone towards the parking spot.
Su Lai lived next to Jiangdu. It was a three-hour drive from Jiangdu.
Everyone got into the car, with Yu Daochen sitting in the passenger seat.
They chatted and laughed all the way. By eight-thirty in the evening, Yu Daochen yawned: "I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap."
Yu Daochen glanced at the dark scenery outside, still wondering if he was the mastermind this time.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Daochen was still asleep when he heard Su Lai from the back ask, "Brother Da Hu, haven't we driven this road before?"
Da Hu, in the driver's seat, was also a little confused: "That shouldn't be right, I don't think I'm mistaken."
Yu Daochen opened his eyes and checked his phone. It was already eleven-thirty.
Yu Daochen looked out the window. It was pitch black.
"Brother Da Hu, did we take the wrong road?" Yu Daochen asked Da Hu, who looked a bit confused.
Da Hu shook his head, unable to figure it out: "I remember we were definitely taking this road."
Yu Daochen was about to suggest using navigation if all else failed, but then he suddenly realized that Da Hu's second-hand van probably didn't have navigation.
"Could it be a ghost leading us astray?" Su Lai couldn't help but ask.
Da Hu shook his head: "It shouldn't be."
Yu Daochen, in the passenger seat, was speechless. The car was full of men, not a single woman. It was too masculine, and everyone in the car was in this line of work. If any of them got out, they could easily beat up those little ghosts until they were bruised and crying, so which ghost would dare to block this car?
The car stopped at a fork in the road. Da Hu was also getting confused: "It seems we should go left."
"We should go right," said Su Lai from behind.
"Why do I feel like we should go left?" Da Hu insisted on his memory.
"It's definitely the right way," Su Lai from behind was also certain it was the right way.
"Master Yu, do you remember which way?" Da Hu looked at the bewildered Yu Daochen beside him.
Yu Daochen gave an awkward smile: "Don't look at me, I'm terrible with directions."
When he first moved to Jiangdu and was familiarizing himself with the area around the old streets, he had gotten lost twice.
Seeing that Yu Daochen was unreliable, Da Hu and Su Lai looked at Zhou Fu and the others.
"Do you three remember which way to go?"
"Right."
"Left."
"Right."
Zhou Fu and the other two disciples gave different answers.
Yu Daochen was speechless: "Why is the whole car full of people who are bad with directions?"
Da Hu and Su Lai rolled their eyes, thinking disdainfully.
"You have the nerve to say that, aren't you the biggest one with bad directions here?"
