At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins? Chapter 441: 414: Worst Luck2

Chapter 441: Chapter 414: Worst Luck_2

He walked through the passage that the crowd parted to make, and so of the devotees even couldn’t help but kneel on the ground to beseech him for good fortune.

“Fortune cannot be sought, luck must co naturally… please stand, kneeling to the gods is not as worthy as kneeling to one’s parents.”

Whenever he encountered such fervent devotees, Master Pan would stoop to help them up, his movents light and natural, and he truly seed to possess an otherworldly grace.

Two Taoist boys reverently followed behind him, one holding a whisk and the other a sitting mat, walking with their heads lowered, accepting no monetary offerings from anyone.

As the old Taoist advanced a step, the crowd behind him would follow suit, yet no one dared to co within a ter of him, as if afraid of desecrating him.

Gu Yu watched the old Taoist walk step by step towards him, and for so reason, he suddenly didn’t want to move.

He wanted to see whether the old Taoist would ask him to make way or if the Taoist himself would change paths.

If it were the forr, Gu Yu felt it wouldn’t matter if he skipped visiting the Huang Daxian Temple.

But if it were the latter, he felt a bit more interested to see it for himself.

Finally, soone spotted Gu Yu.

“Young man, move aside, you’re blocking Master Pan’s way.”

“How can you be so thoughtless, what if you anger Taoist Pan, and he unleashes his divine fury?”

“Exactly, move aside quickly!”

“…” So people pointed at Gu Yu, and so even tried to pull him aside.

“Yu, shall we make way? This Taoist seems to hold a high position; it’s better not to cause trouble.”

The accusing voices around them grew louder, and Lin Xinyue tightly gripped Gu Yu’s hand, her expression sowhat tense.

From the looks of it, if Gu Yu really offended Pan Faren, the crowd of over a thousand might very well rush over and tear him apart.

“No, I want to see whether he is a true Taoist or a fake one.”

Gu Yu ignored the pointing hands and expressions of those around him, his gaze fixed on Master Pan, who was now less than five ters away.

“He’s getting close, very close!”

The bystanders couldn’t help but hold their breath; surely the master would scold this youth?

How audacious to not even make way in full view of the audience!

Five ters… four ters… three ters…

The on-duty police officers also couldn’t help but focus their attention here, ready to handle any sudden incidents.

One ter!

Taoist Pan and Gu Yu were now face to face.

Then, to Gu Yu’s surprise and in front of the shocked gazes of thousands, Taoist Pan bowed slightly: “Young friend, the humble Taoist greets you.”

Gu Yu had thought the old Taoist would either have soone push him aside or simply walk around him.

Instead, he greeted him!

Gu Yu quickly responded, bowing slightly to the old Taoist: “Junior has seen the Taoist.”

Taoist Pan straightened up, smiled faintly, then passed beside Gu Yu, the two Taoist boys doing the sa.

“Young friend, we are destined, I will wait for you inside the temple.”

As the old Taoist brushed past him, Gu Yu heard the Taoist’s soft whisper.

Gu Yu was just about to nod, but the Taoist had already climbed the stairs, ascending step by step, each one vigorous and strong.

“Shall we go up too?” Gu Yu turned to Lin Xinyue and, taking her hand, followed Taoist Pan up.

A police officer ca up to block them.

“Hello, please wait patiently; it’s peak ti at the attraction right now, and entry into the temple is being staggered.”

Gu Yu pointed to the old Taoist, who had reached halfway up: “That old man has gone up already! He asked to find him.”

Police officer: “…”

Crowd: “…”

“Taoist Pan is different; how can you compare yourself to him?”

“Exactly, Taoist Pan has many responsibilities; how could he possibly want to et you? Young man, just wait in line honestly.”

…

Watching the mocking expressions of the people, Gu Yu had no choice but to wait in line honestly.

Luckily, he had squeezed into the queue here at the entrance earlier, otherwise, the appearance of Taoist Pan now would have attracted even more onlookers, and he might not have reached his turn until tomorrow morning.

Twenty minutes passed, and the officers standing on the steps waved their hands, “Next batch!”

Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were pushed forward by the crowd from behind, so much so that Gu Yu didn’t even need to walk.

“We’re going up, we’re going up.” Lin Xinyue said excitedly as they followed the crowd up the steps one by one.

Finally, at the very top, they saw the grand entrance of the Huang Daxian Temple, which was really more of an archway than a gate.

In the middle of the archway, a large three-legged cauldron was placed, exuding magnificence.

As for the Huang Daxian Temple behind the archway, it was just a lavishly decorated small Taoist temple, brightly lit and colorful, teeming with countless devoted n and won bustling in and out.

“Ticket check, get your incense, three sticks each!”

A woman next to the security checkpoint shouted as she handed out incense sticks to people.

Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue, having bought their tickets online, passed smoothly through the checkpoint and took six sticks of incense from the woman.

Gu Yu gently squeezed the incense sticks in his hand; they were just ordinary ritual incense, not of great quality, but definitely sufficient for their purpose.

“Let’s offer the incense! After that, we’ll write our wishes, and then go draw lots!”

From the start, Lin Xinyue was full of excitent. After entering Huang Daxian Temple, she ran around pulling Gu Yu along and didn’t forget to take a selfie with him.

“Let’s send a ssage to my parents to let them know we’re safe.”

Watching her take photos, Gu Yu suddenly thought of Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

Lin Xinyue slapped her forehead, realizing she now had a signal on her phone and could indeed check in with her parents!

Reminded by Gu Yu, she hurriedly opened WeChat and sent the selfie they had just taken to the family group chat.

Almost within three seconds, the video call started.

Mrs. Lin, “Oh, where are you guys? It looks like so kind of temple?”

Mr. Lin, “What temple? That’s clearly a Taoist Temple! Where are you two traveling?”

Lin Xinyue, “Gu Yu and I are in Xiangjiang! The famous Huang Daxian Temple, Mom, you always like praying and worshiping, right? Do you have any wishes? I can make them for you!”

As she spoke, she shook the incense sticks in her hand in front of the front cara.

Mrs. Lin, “Ah, I don’t really have any wishes. My only wish is for you two to co back safely so I can see my grandchildren sooner rather than later.”

Lin Xinyue, “…”

Great, her parents were eager to beco grandparents!

Mr. Lin, noticing Gu Yu was not visible on the cara, quickly asked, “Where’s Yu? Why isn’t he speaking?”

Lin Xinyue pouted, switched the cara to the front, and started filming Gu Yu, who was looking at souvenirs at a small stall.

“Yu, Mom and Dad are calling for you!” Lin Xinyue shouted.

Gu Yu heard her and quickly turned around, holding two blessing bracelets in his hands.

He moved closer to the cara, excitedly showing off the red bracelets in his hands, “How about these? Mom and Dad, do you like them? They can be shipped directly from here!”

Both Mr. and Mrs. Lin showed warm smiles on their faces, “We don’t need anything; just seeing the two of you together is enough.”

“Yu, you must take good care of Yue’er!”

Gu Yu nodded earnestly and said, “I will definitely protect Xinyue! No one can hurt her!”

Mrs. Lin smiled, “We believe you. Well then, that’s it for now, your father and I still have a eting at the company.”

“Have fun!”

Both waved on the screen, their faces filled with reluctance, as this was the first call back ho after their daughter and son-in-law had left three or four days ago.

Unfortunately, they were too busy to chat for very long.

Gu Yu instructed Lin Xinyue, “Send them more videos and photos, as this might be our only chance to ssage them for the next two weeks.”

Lin Xinyue obediently nodded, “Yes! I’m going to take lots! Not just for them, but as a keepsake for us as well!”

Gu Yu put his arm around her shoulder, “Good, once we’re back, we’ll get these photos printed into an album.”

“Hehe,” Lin Xinyue was even happier.

Just as the couple shared a tender mont, the temple suddenly resonated with bells ringing from all directions.

Then a small Taoist in dark blue robes ran out, shouting, “Taoist Pan Shi is interpreting lots at the main hall!”

Suddenly, everyone around them surged toward the main hall.

Seeing the dense crowd, Gu Yu wasn’t too keen on squeezing through, but rembering what Taoist Pan Shi had told him, he hesitated.

After pondering for a dozen seconds, he still grabbed Lin Xinyue’s hand and headed towards the main hall, “Co on, let’s go draw a lot!”
