229: Chapter 27: n Should Stay Out of Won’s Affairs 229: Chapter 27: n Should Stay Out of Won’s Affairs The common ground between the Red Lantern Society and the Qianjin Church lies in their aim to seek welfare for won.
However, the point of disagreent is that the Red Lantern Society leans more towards a traditional family lifestyle of supporting a husband and educating children, while the Church encourages and supports won’s independence and self-expression.
As to who is right and who is wrong, it’s really hard to make a hasty conclusion.
From the personal standpoint of Wang Yunxiao, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with the ideologies of these two organizations, both seed like very normal aspirations.
But what others thought, or what the reality was, that was hard to say.
The Red Lantern Society was currently experiencing internal conflict, and the specific reasons were not known to outsiders.
Since the Qianjin Church was also interested and had specifically sent people to cooperate with the police, Wang Yunxiao was more than happy to pass on the burden.
When it cos to won’s issues, it is best for n to interfere as little as possible, an eternal truth through the ages.
After assigning the tasks, Qin Xiangdong left ti for Wang Yunxiao and Veronica to get to know each other, hoping the two could familiarize quickly for the convenience of future work collaboration.
If it were so protagonist of an Asimov-style novel, this would be the mont when they would be awkwardly lost for words, letting the big sister take the initiative.
Or in the case of a more big-mouthed protagonist, this would be the ti to bring out a full set of cheesy lines to flirt with, like “Big sister, your legs are so long,” “Big sister, do you have a boyfriend,” “Are you free for dinner tonight,” etc…
And then at the very mont nearing the 404 red line, execute a splendid halt.
Wang Yunxiao was not the type to play by the book.
As he left Qin Xiangdong’s office and saw that nobody was around, he directly asked, “Sister Veronica, do you want to grab so lunch and have a few drinks at a restaurant?”
Veronica laughed, “Section Chief Wang is quite knowledgeable, huh?
But I’m really sorry, I don’t drink alcohol.”
Who would believe that a woman with the last na Ivanova says she doesn’t drink!
“I really can’t drink, it’s not about giving you face.”
Veronica shrugged and said, “I’ve heard from Sister Cui Xiaoying that you make good barbecue in her yard, how about we go to her place for so barbecue tonight?”
“Really not drinking?”
“Really not drinking, not all Rakshasa like to drink, just as not all People of Ming know martial arts, right?
It’s purely a stereotype.”
Veronica earnestly corrected him, “However, I’m still pleased that you understand this, many people don’t even know where Rakshasa Country is.
Section Chief Wang, are you interested in learning about the doctrines of the Qianjin Church?”
I’m not uninterested, I’m just afraid of getting into trouble if I talk to you too much.
All Wang Yunxiao could do was laugh it off and change the subject, “Barbecue is no problem, what do you like to eat?
Any dietary restrictions?”
“at!
Any kind of at will do!”
Veronica’s answer was brief and to the point, “I will bring so at over!”
“How co I invite you to a barbecue and you have to bring your own at?
That makes us a laughingstock.
If you feel embarrassed, just treat to a good al next ti!”
“Then it’s a deal!”
The big sister White Hair had quite a hearty character, never mincing her words and not holding back at all.
As Wang Yunxiao watched Veronica leave the police station with gusto, he was about to turn away when he heard Old Master He’s sarcastic voice beside his ear, “With that small fra of yours, can you handle a European mare?”
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself, no need to worry, that’s not my cup of tea.
I prefer the delicate and quiet local rich ladies.
“Why didn’t you go back to catch up on so sleep?”
Old Master He looked at him with a cold stare, “Did you forget sothing, boy?”
What did I forget?
Wang Yunxiao paused for a mont, then it dawned on him that although he had verbally agreed to take Old Master He as his ntor, he had been so busy the past few days that he had completely forgotten this promise.
“How do you plan to teach ?
I’ll learn!
I’ll start learning now!”
“Don’t bla if you flunk your exams because I distracted you,”
Old Master He rolled his eyes.
“Wait for your sumr vacation.
After your exams, co find , and I’ll take you back to the Sect to offer incense to our ancestor.”
“What?
We have a Sect too?”
Wang Yunxiao was shocked.
Aren’t you supposed to be a burglar, old man?
Who do we worship, Shi Qian?
“Nonsense, of course we have a Sect.
I just…never ntioned it.
Too ashad to say.”
Old Master He sighed.
“Back in the day, our Swallow Sect was also a renowned na in the Jianghu World, celebrated for a hundred years.
But alas, there was no one to continue the legacy…
Now look at the young folks, all the foreign novelties they’re into, strutting around as if they belong.
anwhile, our Swallow Sect has been forgotten, nobody even wants to spare it a second glance.”
Wang Yunxiao thought there was no need to compete in this area.
Being a focus of the police for notoriety signifies a substantial size and influence.
Take the Qianjin Church, for example—how much tax do they pay in a year?
As for you?
You’ve literally left an impression on the floor of the jail cell from sleeping there so much!
“Master, I think…”
“How about playing with a Divine Artifact?”
“No,” Wang Yunxiao replied bluntly.
Why not just ask to ascend to heaven and beco the Great Sage Equalling Heaven?
“Look at you, such a coward!”
Old Master He, feeling like iron that couldn’t beco steel, said: “I’m not telling you to steal it.
If we get the chance, we’ll borrow it and play with it for a couple of days.
It’ll give you a glimpse of our Sect’s capabilities and serve as a lesson to the youth of today, so they understand that there’s always soone better out there.”
Wang Yunxiao was highly skeptical of Old Master He’s ambitions but had no way to dissuade him.
Fine, I’ll play along, but how much of a stir can you even create anymore?
He didn’t take the matter to heart.
However, Old Master He’s words did remind him that he had indeed forgotten sothing.
Where did my notebook go?
Wang Yunxiao carefully recalled the last ti he saw that notebook—it seed to be the night he took it from Zhou Qing and then casually put it…
where did he put it?
That’s it, my brain is useless.
He rembered putting it in his pocket, but then he took Little Gourd out shopping for clothes…
Back at school, Wang Yunxiao asked Little Gourd, “Have you seen my notebook?
The small, palm-sized one with a black cover?”
Little Gourd looked bewildered, “I don’t have it!”
Hissss…
Wang Yunxiao inhaled sharply, hoping he hadn’t lost it.
To be fair, although he rarely used that little notebook, he had to admit it was quite handy.
It’s just that he wasn’t used to relying on external items, so he subconsciously neglected it.
Seeing his anxious deanor, Little Gourd couldn’t help but suggest, “Could it be at the Special Service Bureau?”
Wang Yunxiao thought it was unlikely.
He wasn’t that careless…
but it might be worth asking.
Better safe than sorry!
