On the book's cover, the words "Heavenly Phenonon Scripture" stood out conspicuously.
Heavenly Phase?
Chen Fang's mind buzzed for a mont.
Instantly, he recalled the words that appeared on a piece of paper revealed after Fang i burned Tan Yandong's notebook.
Back then, he thought "Heavenly Phase" might be soone's na.
Who would have thought that "Heavenly Phase" was actually related to a book?
Could it be just a coincidence?
Is the "Heavenly Phase" from Tan Yandong's notebook entirely different from this "Heavenly Phase"?
In a flash.
Chen Fang's thoughts raced a thousand tis.
Then.
He opened the book.
Once again, he was stunned.
A line on the title page read: "May all people in the world be free from suffering and quickly attain bliss — Lin Run."
Lin Run?
The na appeared on the piece of paper that was burned before.
This ti, Chen Fang was sure.
The "Heavenly Phase" on this book and the "Heavenly Phase" hidden in Tan Yandong's notebook ant the sa thing.
He continued flipping through the pages.
The contents before him were quite bizarre.
Though claid to be a religious scripture, much of it lacked logic.
Allegedly a text on "enlightennt," yet it was filled with religious doctrines.
The more he read, the more Chen Fang believed this book was likely so cult's tool to deceive people.
"What is this?"
Chen Fang asked.
i Yiru said, "This book is a recent popular internal scripture of the Heavenly Appearance Sect. Quite a few people in governntal departnts secretly practice it, and it has spread quite widely."
"Heavenly Appearance Sect? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Chen Fang asked.
i Yiru chuckled.
Said, "We're staunch materialists, naturally immune to such scriptures. Only people like Ye Fuqiang would believe in these absurd texts."
"So is this Heavenly Appearance Sect prevalent in Jiuhai Province?"
Chen Fang asked.
i Yiru frowned and thought for a mont, then said, "Not really, it's not as common in our Jiuhai Province, but it seems more serious in the neighboring Yong'an Province. You're from Yong'an, so you know that place is more... more traditional, so naturally these kinds of books spread more easily. Oh, I rember, I heard soone say the founder of the Heavenly Appearance Sect, Lin Run, is also from Yong'an, your hotown."
Lin Run? Heavenly Appearance Sect?
To be honest, these words held no sway over Chen Fang's heart.
But in reality, it was different.
These were the words Chen Fang had seen in Tan Yandong's notebook.
And Jiang Chuo had been trying to obtain that notebook.
The secrets hidden within.
Forced Chen Fang to be suspicious.
"Boss, what's the matter?"
Seeing Chen Fang's serious expression, i Yiru asked with curiosity.
Chen Fang didn't hear at first; i Yiru repeated herself. He then snapped back to reality and said, "I'm fine, just reminded of other things. You know so much about this Heavenly Appearance Sect because soone around you practices it?"
i Yiru nodded.
Said, "I have a neighbor who's a follower, goes on and on about practicing ten sessions a day, saying that after ten years, they'll ascend to the Heavenly Phenonon Realm, with endless food and drink, and indulgence forever..."
"Do you know where these people usually practice?"
Chen Fang asked again.
i Yiru nodded and said, "I know. Once she insisted on taking with her; I refused, but I know where it is, and I know their gatherings are always held at midnight."
"Alright, I'm giving you an assignnt. Arrange a visit for tonight to listen in once."
i Yiru paused.
Her eyes scrutinized Chen Fang with so suspicion.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Fang asked when he saw her look.
i Yiru waved her hand, saying, "Boss, I just didn't expect that you'd be interested in such a thing."
"Interested? I'm concerned there might be issues lurking here."
"Even if there are issues, it's sothing for National Security or the Anti-religious Bureau to handle, right? What does this have to do with the Disciplinary Committee?"
"Just arrange it as I asked."
Chen Fang said impatiently.
i Yiru curled her lips.
Said, "I can arrange it, but when are you going to repay the favor you owe ?"
"What do I owe you?"
"It's... it's about that day outside the Shanghu District Public Security Bureau, when you asked... you asked for... a favor."
i Yiru's face blushed deeply.
Chen Fang scratched his head and asked, "What did I ask you for? I don't rember."
"You... you..."
i Yiru wanted to say but hesitated.
After a long pause, she waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it, never mind if you don't rember..."
Hearing this, Chen Fang burst into laughter.
Said, "Co on, there's no one else here, why so shy? I only wanted to have so fun with you. If you help with this, I'll make sure you're richly rewarded. How about double the favor in return?"
i Yiru's face turned red.
She smiled and nodded, then happily turned and left.
Around eleven-thirty that night.
Chen Fang t with i Yiru as planned.
When getting out of the car.
There was a modestly dressed elderly woman standing beside i Yiru.
This person was the neighbor i Yiru had ntioned earlier.
"Auntie Wang, this is him; he's coming to your gathering with tonight."
i Yiru pointed at Chen Fang and said.
Auntie Wang looked Chen Fang up and down.
Frowned and asked, "Yiru, who's this young man?"
Chen Fang was quick and imdiately wrapped his arm around i Yiru's waist, saying, "Auntie, let introduce myself, I'm Chen Fang, Yiru's boyfriend."
Upon hearing he was the boyfriend.
Auntie Wang's face split into a joyful grin.
Of course.
i Yiru's face also showed a hint of surprise, then she shyly nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie Wang, he's my boyfriend."
"Chen Fang! What a good na, I'll call you Ah Fang. Ah Fang, our Yiru is a good girl, just... just hasn't been very lucky. Now that she finally has a boyfriend, I'm happy for her too."
Auntie Wang excitedly grabbed Chen Fang's hand and said.
Indeed.
A close identity.
Makes it easier to bridge the gap between two people.
Chen Fang's trick worked quickly.
"Young man, one more question, why did you decide to join our Heavenly Appearance Sect?"
It was evident that Auntie Wang was still quite cautious.
As i Yiru was thinking of how to respond.
Chen Fang said, "Auntie, I won't hide the truth. My mom isn't doing well lately, been to all sizes of hospitals and nothing helped, then I heard the Heavenly Appearance Sect is amazing, so I thought to give it a try. If it works, I'd like my mom to learn too..."
