Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 885 - 263: At Your Service, Fellow Daoist

She only has this one day off, and she’ll have to return to the set tomorrow to film. The more money she earns, the more she can donate, and the more she donates, the more merit cultivation she can create for Chen Yan.

Chen Yan declined Lin Xianyu’s invitation to arrange dinner and took Lin Xianyu back, then returned to his room to rest.

Zhao Shanhe also called, saying he wanted to invite Chen Yan to his home for dinner—Zhao Shanhe’s parents knew Chen Yan had come and knew he was their son’s good friend from university and now a shareholder and partner in their son’s business, so they enthusiastically organized the invitation for Chen Yan to come for a meal.

Chen Yan thought about it and politely declined.

Vaguely, a precognitive feeling in his divine sense made him feel as if something important would find him tonight.

·

After nine-thirty in the evening.

Chen Yan had just finished showering, walked out of the bathroom, picked up his phone, and saw unread messages on WeChat.

Initially, he thought they were from Lu Sisi, but when he opened them, it turned out to be.

[Sunny and Warm] (Dean Shen): Brother Chen, are you asleep?

Chen Yan was taken aback.

But he quickly reacted; this was Shen Shiqi using the phone to send him a message.

When they added each other on WeChat today, the account was actually Dean Shen’s—after all, the phone belonged to Dean Shen.

Shen Shiqi didn’t have a phone or a phone number of his own, so naturally, he didn’t have his own WeChat account.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan casually changed the WeChat name note to Shen Shiqi and replied: "Not asleep, what’s up?"

Shen Shiqi quickly sent a message: "Yes, something’s up, can I come see you in person?"

Chen Yan frowned, replying: "It’s so late, are you able to leave the orphanage?"

Shen Shiqi then sent another message: "I’m not in the orphanage. I was selling popsicles downtown today and have to go to school early tomorrow. I told the dean mom I’d sleep at school tonight."

Though still somewhat skeptical, Chen Yan thought for a moment and sent the hotel address and room number.

Half an hour later, Chen Yan’s door was knocked.

Chen Yan opened the door and saw Shen Shiqi with an old backpack standing outside, the child panting heavily, probably tired from riding his bike all the way.

Chen Yan let him in, then closed the door, turned, and took a can of cola from the table to hand over.

"Have some water, catch your breath first."

Facing Chen Yan’s smile and the can of cola in his hand...

Shen Shiqi squinted his eyes, looking at Chen Yan with a complex expression, after a few seconds, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He didn’t take the can of cola; instead, he stepped back a pace and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, Shen Shiqi clasped his hands in the Tai Chi Fish manner, bowing solemnly to Chen Yan!

Chen Yan was stunned.

But before he could speak, Shen Shiqi opened his mouth.

The child’s voice was immature, but his tone was very sincere.

"Fellow Daoist above, please receive my courtesy! I’ve come tonight with a plea for your assistance!"

Chen Yan was shocked!

"Wait, wait a minute! What, what did you call me?"

Chen Yan’s eyes widened, looking at Shen Shiqi.

Shen Shiqi’s expression was grave: "Fellow Daoist!"

Chen Yan’s eyes instantly narrowed!

He activated the Qi Observation Skill, carefully observing the boy in front of him!

But under the Qi Observation Skill, Shen Shiqi’s aura was ordinary, like that of a common person, with no sign of cultivation or Tao practice; even on his body, there was no trace of primordial qi movement!!

Chen Yan’s heart was on alert: "You..."

Shen Shiqi’s voice was solemn, though clearly carrying a hint of dryness and tremor.

"Please, fellow Daoist, take action to save my dean mom’s life!"
