In ancient tis, there was a saying, "The nation of Yan and Huang was founded, and the Supre One granted teachings." Before the Qing Dynasty, Taoism was always the native national religion.
However, in modern life, orthodox Taoist priests are quite rare.
People like Hunter Dalton and those in his company understand a bit from various schools but neither practice Taoism nor follow its rules, so they are collectively referred to as mages, making their identities sowhat ambiguous.
There are, of course, orthodox Taoist priests, but they prefer a life of tranquility and practice in the mountains; eting them isn’t guaranteed.
The gentleman who ca today seed quite genuine, wrapped in a blue robe, his hair held with a bun and a wooden hairpin, and a black beard cascading down his chest, appearing around the age of forty with eyes that were piercing.
Just based on his aura and attire, he had the deanor of an expert, though whether he was a true expert or a false one was unknown.
Gavin Graves instructed Lester Williams to send soone to investigate, and this matter was temporarily set aside.
...
After listening to the physics lecture that day, Cherry’s mood shifted and brightened considerably.
Gavin Graves felt relieved as a result.
In the past, won would accommodate and yield to him, and he never had to coax a woman, nor did he know how.
When interacting with won, he valued ambiance and mood, but never made an effort to express sweet nothings, preferring subtle glances, restrained emotions, and natural connections over mushy flirtations.
Yet, Cherry especially needed coaxing.
Moreover, she was the type to repeatedly pester you with questions like: Do you like ? Do you miss ? Will you take care of ? Will you be with ...?
It could wear a person’s patience thin.
Luckily, by learning physics, she was more at ease, and Gavin Graves catered to her interests by taking her to the largest library in the city from ti to ti, avoiding a lot of trouble.
Cherry fell in love with this place.
She enjoyed searching through academic experts’ research papers for clues to prove herself, then feeling smug, as if having a superior sense of self-worth.
Previously her state was: No one understands , I am so miserable.
Now her state is: No one understands , these idiots are blind!
Gavin Graves didn’t mind... after all, thinking highly of oneself was much better than wallowing in self-pity every day.
After visiting the library two or three tis, as she gradually got familiar with it, Cherry would sotis go on her own even when Gavin Graves was not available.
Oliver Augustus acted as her driver and bodyguard; Gavin Graves also assigned her a life assistant nad Emma, similar to a star’s manager, ensuring that all matters, big or small, concerning Cherry were taken care of.
Gavin Graves thought this would be foolproof.
But human plans are no match for those of the heavens; Cherry soon got into trouble again.
That day, after leaving the library, she and the life assistant stood by the library entrance waiting for the car; Oliver Augustus went to the parking lot to get the car, but was not seen for so ti.
Parked by the roadside was a little white car, with no owner in sight, the window half-open, revealing a dog’s head barking madly at Cherry!
Cherry felt her scalp itch.
She was very afraid of dogs, even if the dog wouldn’t bite her, she would still be scared.
Just like so people are afraid of snakes, so are afraid of spiders, even though the size difference is huge, and one could stomp them easily, they are still scary; even without venom, they’re frightening!
She was panic-stricken, bearing with it for a bit, as her temples throbbed.
Unable to withstand it any longer, she urged the assistant: "Go check in the parking lot, where is Oliver Augustus?"
Emma nodded and went with the big and small bags to find the driver.
As soon as Emma left, the dog seed to think Cherry was without help and barked even more excitedly!
"We’re all atoms, why are you so arrogant?" Cherry glared at the dog, trembling as she stepped back.
If Oliver Augustus and Emma didn’t return soon, she might have to hide back in the library.
At this mont, a familiar car silhouette finally appeared on the road, and Cherry relaxed instantly, quickly waving her hand and running over—
As soon as she got in the car, sothing felt off; why was the car seat different?
Looking up ahead again, she found that the driver looked different, too.
Cherry finally realized she had gotten into the wrong car.
The man driving grinned: "Pretty lady, where are you headed?"
