Duan Qinghuai brought Ning Yitao back to the Taoist temple. Seeing that Ning Yitao had been silent all the way, he felt a bit uneasy.
"Did she get angry because I didn't tell her I'm the youngest son of the Duan family? Or perhaps she didn't want to be engaged to me in the first place?"
He lowered his eyes, a hint of disappointment flashing across his heart. Still, he took out the agreement he had drafted when he learned that Ning Yitao was his fiancée. This agreement was made in case Ning Yitao might feel uncomfortable:
"I've prepared a marriage contract to draw a clear line. From now on, I'll be your backer and won't overstep. When this engagement ends will be up to your will."
Ning Yitao was thinking about the feud between the original owner and Yun Ruichu. By the time she understood what Duan Qinghuai meant, she thought it was a feasible idea. An agreement could clearly define their relationship.
Ning Yitao took the agreement briskly and signed her name without even looking. She trusted Duan Qinghuai very much. He wouldn't harm her. After all, they still had a high - level contract.
Duan Qinghuai watched as she didn't hesitate at all and chose to draw a clear line between them. He obviously started to be absent - minded and think wildly. "It turns out I'm not that important to her."
He felt a bit unhappy, his mood in a complete mess. No, why could a single action of Ning Yitao affect his mood? Duan Qinghuai clearly knew that this wasn't right.
Ning Yitao didn't care what Duan Qinghuai was thinking. She just wanted to absorb more merit spiritual energy while Duan Qinghuai was around. However, she was puzzled when she saw his golden light dim. Why was he unhappy again? Sure enough, men's hearts are as hard to fathom as the depths of the sea.
*****
After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived at the Taoist temple. Chu Zhiyuan had been waiting at the entrance to greet them for a long time. He saw Ning Yitao, wearing Duan Qinghuai's coat, getting out of the car.
Chu Zhiyuan was so shocked that his mouth almost dropped open. He knew Ning Yitao was good - looking, but he didn't expect her to be this stunning! She was like a celebrity.
Looking at the two who had changed so much, he was extremely surprised.
"Ancestor, did you two just come back from a fashion show?"
Ning Yitao rubbed her forehead. She had said not to call her that, but here was another one who couldn't get the name right. "Chu Zhiyuan, now that the problems in the Taoist temple have all been solved, you should surf the Internet more in your spare time for cultivation."
Hearing the order from the ancestor, Chu Zhiyuan replied, "Received!"
As soon as Ning Yitao and Duan Qinghuai entered the bedroom, they were greatly startled. The originally empty room was now filled with boxes, and there was even an extra person in the room.
A short girl with a delicate appearance was nervously pinching the corner of her clothes. "Hello, Great God Ning. My name is Mu Momo. I'm sent by Neee Company to be your assistant. I'm your fan."
The experienced assistants in the company didn't think highly of Ning Yitao's development prospects, so this opportunity fell to the newbie Mu Momo. She had been excited for several days because of this and had been waiting at the Taoist temple early for Great God Ning to come back.
Ning Yitao didn't say anything. She just nodded to show that she knew.
Seeing that Ning Yitao didn't drive her away, Mu Momo showed a bright smile on her face. She quickly introduced the suddenly - appeared things in the room to Ning Yitao.
"These boxes contain clothes, jewelry and cosmetics from the brand owners. This small box contains spare cameras." As she spoke, she handed a brand - new phone to Ning Yitao.
"Great God Ning, you need to change your phone to the one sponsored by the brand owner. I've already registered all the apps for you, and I'm in the contacts of each app."
When Mu Momo said this, her eyes were shining brightly, like a puppy's eyes.
Ning Yitao took the phone. Her previous phone had a tracker installed by Ning Hong, so she had thrown it away.
While playing with the new phone, Mu Momo continued to explain with a planning book in hand:
"Great God Ning, you've had two live broadcasts in total, and both had good responses. You can be considered a net celebrity. But generally speaking, it's unlikely to become famous across China just by relying on the variety show 'Spiritual Battle'. The audience is too fixed. You still need to do more live broadcasts to increase your exposure..."
Once Mu Momo started talking about her area of expertise, she became very talkative. She didn't show any of the nervousness and shyness she had when they first met.
However, Ning Yitao's head was spinning from all the professional terms. But Mu Momo said that this was a follow - up development plan she had worked on for several nights specifically for her.
Ning Yitao endured and continued to listen. Duan Qinghuai, on the other hand, listened attentively and nodded from time to time.
Finally, Mu Momo reached the end of her speech with high spirits. "Great God Ning, I'll take care of your path to fame. Don't worry!!"
Ning Yitao nodded. Just then, she noticed something was wrong. "Why don't you first explain how my room became like this?"
Originally, there was only a wooden table, a wooden chair and a candlestick in the room. Now, it had changed completely. There was a wardrobe, a dressing table, a ceiling lamp, and even the bed had been replaced with a huge Simmons bed. There was even a gauze curtain.
Ning Yitao felt that this room had suddenly changed from a poor ancient boy's room to a modern young lady's room.
Mu Momo's eyes were shining. "Do you like it, Great God Ning? I found your room was too shabby when I first came here a few days ago."
She specifically moved aside to let Ning Yitao see more clearly. "Ta - da, this is a special transformation for you."
Mu Momo said regretfully, "If I were richer, I could have made the room even more beautiful for you when you came back."
Ning Yitao should have been angry that her room had been changed without her knowledge. But seeing that Mu Momo had been busy for her sake, she couldn't say any words of scolding.
Ning Yitao stroked Mu Momo's head and said softly, "Okay, thank you for your kindness. Go and rest quickly. I'm very happy that you're my assistant."
With just a few words, Ning Yitao coaxed Mu Momo into floating back to her room to rest.
Duan Qinghuai was stunned, with "Mu Momo is so skilled" running through his mind. He felt a sense of crisis. Ning Yitao had never stroked his head or coaxed him so gently.
This Mu Momo had experienced all of this as soon as she came. It was so unfair QAQ.
The unbalanced Duan Qinghuai hesitated for a long time and then asked Ning Yitao indirectly, "After that Mu Momo came, will you only be good friends with her and leave me aside? Will what we said at the beginning not count anymore?"
Ning Yitao had a look of confusion on her face. What was going on today? Why were they all acting like children?
But seeing that the golden light on Duan Qinghuai had dimmed a lot following his mood, Ning Yitao looked worried. If it dimmed any further, her cultivation at night would yield no results. So, she had no choice but to go along with his words:
"How could that be? You're my only friend."
Sure enough, after a while, the golden light on Duan Qinghuai shone brightly again.
Mu Momo popped her head out from the door at some point and reminded Ning Yitao, "Great God Ning, the plane tickets for tomorrow have been booked. You're going to the venue for the third episode of 'Spiritual Battle'."
Ning Yitao was just about to nod to show that she knew when Duan Qinghuai beside her quietly said, "I'm going too..."
Seeing that his golden light was about to dim again, Ning Yitao quickly agreed. She turned to Mu Momo and said, "Add him to the plane tickets for tomorrow."
Finally, it was time to rest. The world became quiet. Lying in bed, Ning Yitao suddenly felt that life in the future would be very difficult.
