I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 576 Accompanying Liu Qingyan to Watch a Play

Lu Zheng wondered if Ao Qian could stay in Tonglin County for ten years. He himself didn't mind, but he was just afraid the Jade Dragon King couple would not be able to bear it.

Bi Xinyu and Mo Lan had gotten together with the girls before, but whether Lu Zheng was present or not made a significant difference.

With Lu Zheng there, it felt like hosts Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan had a backbone, and their spirits were entirely different.

Not to mention the seasonal fruits and delicious dishes, Bi Xinyu guessed that the Da Jing Imperial Palace couldn't be much better than this?

Everyone was eating and drinking, and the topic returned to the dishes Lu Zheng had made.

"The dish is called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, earning such a name surely has a story behind it. I wonder which high monk gave up his sternness to bestow such a name upon this dish?" Lin Jing'Er joked.

"Aren't monks not supposed to eat meat?"

"Some monks eat three types of pure meat, which count as willingly offered, and thus they can enjoy it."

"Chan sect high monks always cultivate the mind. This pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall indeed has the rich aroma that could move a high monk's heart!"

"I really want to find a monk, preferably one who is vegetarian."

"Hehe, that's right, isn't there Monk Guangyue at the Jiming Temple next door? Didn't he want to take Young Master Lu to travel the world before?"

"What, what was he thinking? How could Young Master Lu agree?" Bi Xinyu and Mo Lan hadn't known about this.

"Yeah, so after being knocked on the head a few times, he didn't mention it again, and instead, he settled at the Jiming Temple in Pingtan County next door, becoming a neighbor to the young master."

"Tsk, tsk!" Mo Lan's eyes flickered, seemingly with a smile but not quite. The glance she gave Lu Zheng carried something unusual... pity?

"Does Monk Guangyue eat meat?"

"I don't know."

"I'll try to find out next time."

"Be careful, although that monk is not a match for the young master, he's not weak either. He hails from Rizhao Temple and is a disciple who has completed his training, now the host of Jiming Temple."

"Don't worry, I'm not weak either." Bi Xinyu licked her nose with her tongue, her lips curling into an alluring smile.

Liu Qingyan came over, pulling Bi Xinyu aside, "Xinyu, don't cause trouble. Guangyue once fought alongside Lu Lang. He's not an enemy."

Bi Xinyu leaned closer to Liu Qingyan and whispered with a giggle, "My good sister, I'm helping you here. That monk sticking so close to Young Master Lu and not leaving—the rogue's intentions are not dead, he harbors ill intent towards your husband!"

Liu Qingyan blushed, unable to resist giving Bi Xinyu a slap, "What ill intent, it's Guangyue adhering to an oath."

Then she explained the magical combat bet between Guangyue and Lu Zheng, after which Guangyue had rooted himself at the Jiming Temple.

"Tch, boring..." Mo Lan pursed her lips.

"Ha, men..." Bi Xinyu yawned in boredom as well.

Seeing them in such a lazy manner, Liu Qingyan figured out why the two of them could hit it off, even though they seemed like a pair of same-gendered frenemies.

Liu Qingyan blinked, suddenly realizing that compared to their suspicions about Lu Zheng and Guangyue, it was actually the two of them that were more strange...

A shiver ran through her; she quickly shook her head to discard the images in her mind.

"What are you thinking?" Bi Xinyu asked.

"Nothing." Liu Qingyan hastily replied, then got up and left without a hitch, returning to Lu Zheng's side.

...

After a big lunch, everyone went about their own afternoon activities.

Lu Zheng didn't bother joining in the bustle elsewhere. He stayed at the mahjong table all afternoon, playing a game with ten cents copper coins stakes and ending up losing more than a thousand coins.

...

After the mid-month gathering, there was nothing happening in the ancient period; Lu Zheng had time to return to the modern era to spend time with Lin Wan.

After passing through the rental house and changing clothes, he was just about to go home when he saw Lin Wan coming out with a suitcase right at the door.

"Going on a business trip?" Lu Zheng asked in surprise.

Seeing Lu Zheng appear, Lin Wan's eyes lit up, her lips slightly curved.

"Yes." Lin Wan nodded, "Not far, just going to Ning City, Zhejiang Province, to help track the exact flow of some funds."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should take me two or three days to come back," Lin Wan added.

Ning City, Zhejiang Province, indeed wasn't far. If it weren't for the inconvenience of group travel, Lin Wan could have gone home every night.

"I see..."

Lu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Do you have to come back? I could come to find you then, and we could spend the weekend at Xiangshan Film and Television City?"

Having been out for a month, there really wasn't much to do in Hai City, and as it happens, Xiangshan has a film city that's quite famous.

"Sure!" Lin Wan happily agreed.

Lu Zheng smiled, "Maybe we'll come across some stars, and I could ask for an autograph or something."

Lin Wan chuckled at this, "What, are you a celebrity fan?"

"Of course!" Lu Zheng nodded earnestly, "I only read Huayu Literature web novels—protagonists from Hong Kong like Lady Bai, Aunt Thirteen, Nie Xiaoqian, and Dongfang Bubai, to Zhao Ling'Er, Tang Xuejian, Zi Xuan, and Si Teng, I've read them all."

Lin Wan arched a brow, "I can't believe you missed the most beautiful Ah Ke and Zhou Zhiruo, not very professional of you."

Lu Zheng, "..."

"But, I suppose you won't be able to see them at the film city." Lin Wan seemed not the least bit jealous, "Now it's almost impossible to distinguish the differences among the beauties at the film city."

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "Is that so? Then I should test my vision... hey, why are you stepping on my foot?"

Lin Wan, dragging her suitcase, sauntered to the elevator, pressed the button to go down, "Give me a call when I'm done with work, you can drive over then drive back."

"Alright." Lu Zheng nodded, "By the way, you're not driving there?"

"No need, the company will send a car; they will come to pick me up."

The elevator doors opened, and Lu Zheng naturally gave Lin Wan a hug, sending her into the elevator.

"Off I go, have a good rest for the next few days, wait for my call."

"Got it!"

...

With Lin Wan on a business trip, Lu Zheng wasn't going to waste time in the modern era, so he decisively returned to the rental house and traveled back to the ancient times.

"Lu Lang, didn't you say you were leaving for a few days to practice a new Technique?"

Seeing Lu Zheng reappear soon after he left, Liu Qingyan curiously asked.

"I thought about it. I've been out for a month, leaving again so soon after coming back for a few days seemed inappropriate." Lu Zheng smiled as he hugged Liu Qingyan's waist, "So I decided to spend a few more days with you."

With his hands around her waist, Liu Qingyan felt a bit weak and was deeply touched in her heart.

"No, I'm just about to head to the pharmacy." Liu Qingyan quickly broke free from Lu Zheng, "Besides, Cai Niang and Xinyu are coming over this afternoon as well; we agreed to go to Yu Ling Garden to watch a performance together."

At this, Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Zheng with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, "Lu Lang, would you like to come along?"

Lu Zheng was naturally accommodating, "Sure, I haven't been to Yu Ling Garden in a long time. Is there any new play?"

Liu Qingyan said, "It's a famous troupe from Yizhou coming to the county to perform. A piece called 'Gauze Curtain Ode'; it's said to be very nice."

"Gauze Curtain Ode? Sure, let's go and listen."
