It's late at night here at Lotus Temple.
Given that the time difference is fifteen hours ahead of San Francisco, it's afternoon here in San Francisco.
Two o'clock, school is about to end.
That's right, Happy Education ends at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Yang An sensed the call of the incarnation, just as the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
Does he need to go to the Lotus Temple in person?
Then go and have a look.
No hesitation.
Yang An stood up and sprinted, successfully rushing out of the classroom before a group of chaotic students.
He looks older than Xiaoyu.
But they were still in the same school, and by chance, Xiaoyu's classroom was on the floor below him.
"Hey, isn't that Yang An?"
Xiaoyu was walking out of the class with several classmates, looking a little downcast. She was punished by the teacher for chatting in class and needed to be detained.
But detention was out of the question.
Xiaoyu planned to sneak away, but the end result was that he might be called a parent. Anyway, Uncle Long is always hard-spoken and soft-hearted.
She couldn't waste her precious afternoon time here.
By chance, Xiaoyu saw a figure flashing past the stairs.
Although she was very fast, she still recognized the figure as Yang An at a glance.
Although Yang An looks young, his mental age is definitely older than Xiaoyu's, and his behavior is more mature.
Although Xiaoyu doesn't admire him as much as Uncle Long, she is still very curious about him and has a good impression of him.
"Where is he going in such a hurry?"
Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and felt excited.
Maybe something exciting happened.
If that was the case, maybe Uncle Long wouldn't blame her if she went to help.
The plan goes through!
Seeing that Yang An had disappeared for a while, Xiaoyu chased after him without thinking.
I didn't notice that a 'little mouse' was following behind me.
Yang An casually found a utility room near the teaching building, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, then opened the door and walked in.
Today seems to be full of coincidences.
On the other side of the teaching building, several delinquent students wearing baseball caps noticed Yang An's movements.
They have long been annoyed by this maverick Asian guy who always pretends to be cool.
"Hey, do you want to go see what that kid is doing?"
"Maybe I'm hiding something."
"That's right, let's go over and have a look."
Just like that, several big but low-IQ little chimpanzees looked at each other and walked over to this side.
With this rare opportunity, they decided to teach this kid a lesson.
This scene was seen again by Xiaoyu who ran down the teaching building.
"Oh no, Yang An is in danger!"
She had to think of a way.
In the storage room.
A strange feeling came from somewhere.
Yang An, who was already ready to apparate and teleport, paused for a moment.
Lift your head.
"Is there a fluctuation in righteousness?"
Yang An frowned slightly, somewhat unsure of the meaning of the current fluctuations in his righteousness.
This is not a coincidence. Maybe Zhengqi noticed that he was going to the Lotus Temple?
Just then.
"Hey, big guys, what are you doing?"
It was Xiaoyu's voice, Yang An listened attentively.
Soon, there was a commotion, there was the sound of rushing water, and there were curses and roars.
Then the door to the storage room was slammed open.
The sun is shining from outside.
A bright orange-red color burst into Yang An's eyes.
"Xiaoyu???"
Yang An suddenly had a big head. He now knew why Uncle Long had lost his hair so seriously recently, and he was worried.
The naughty kids are the most annoying.
"Hi~Yang An."
The quirky girl raised her hand to say hello to Yang An, and then ran into the storage room, looking in high spirits.
At the same time, she did not forget to pull out the broom from the side and stuck the wooden stick on the door handle.
After she quickly finished this series of things, she said in one breath like a submachine gun, "By the way, you seem to be in trouble. There are a few big black guys from the senior class over there who want to come over. Why do you want to come here?" Come?”
At this time, there were some banging sounds outside the door.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Damn Asian boys and girls, come out here!"
"Hurry up, you dare to hit us with a bucket, I will push you into the pool!"
"Bah, you all said that, I won't go out, think I'm a fool." Xiaoyu curled her lips in disdain and blocked the door, still feeling that it was not safe.
She looked left and right, turned her head and saw several heavy cabinets. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she ran over quickly.
But stop at the cabinet.
Obviously, her body was not proportional to the tall wooden cabinet, and she could not move it no matter how hard she tried.
"Yang An, stop standing and help me!"
"."
At this point, Yang An finally understood what was going on. Emotion is the son of the world, his righteous daughter, and the queen of the dark kingdom came here.
No wonder it attracts Zhengqi's attention.
At this time, the sound of banging on the door became louder, accompanied by some angry curses.
"Hurry up." Xiaoyu urged Yang An.
"Float!"
Yang An waved his hand.
The golden horn ring on his hand suddenly glowed slightly.
Under Xiaoyu's wide-eyed gaze, she was watching carefully for fear of missing any details.
Several wooden cabinets in front of him quickly floated and landed at the door.
“Awesome!”
Xiaoyu cheered, "Yang An, you are so awesome."
Yang An spread his hands, "So, why did you run in?"
"Because you came in, and there are a few bad guys who want to cause trouble for you. I am helping you." Xiaoyu said matter-of-factly with her hands on her hips.
"Do you think with my strength, who is causing trouble for whom?" Yang An raised an eyebrow and asked.
To be fair, discrimination in the United States is actually very serious.
Especially for people with yellow skin.
When Yang An first entered school, he also encountered a few people who wanted to bully him, but he dealt with them all and became more honest.
But there were still many fools still staring at him.
Facing a group of children, Yang An didn't bother to argue with them. Unless he really offended him, he would just pretend they didn't exist.
These little chimpanzees, for example, are brainless.
He didn't even look at the bad students who had tried to cause trouble for Yang An.
When they see Yang An now, they are like mice seeing a cat, and they are afraid to run away.
He actually dared to come over.
When Xiaoyu heard this, she was stunned. It seemed that she had done bad things with good intentions again.
Yang An is good at magic. He can beat all those chimpanzees to the ground alone.
For a long time, she felt guilty and embarrassed and said, "How about moving the box away?"
"No need."
Yang An shook his head, saying that Xiaoyu had the guts to delay those little chimpanzees and even rushed over to report the news to him, which was considered a help.
Also
Yang An looked at Xiaoyu, with some thoughts in his eyes.
Perhaps Xiaoyu's appearance is an opportunity.
It is said that in good times, I rely on Jackie Chan, in bad times, I rely on my dad, and in desperate times, I rely on Xiaoyu. What I mean is that Xiaoyu can always find some key breakthrough points.
He is now a little helpless about the mysterious Lotus Temple.
Although the Lotus Temple can be evacuated, Yang An always feels that there is nothing more than the magic books in the Lotus Temple.
There are secrets or things hidden here that may interest him.
If you take Xiaoyu with you, you might be able to unlock the secret of Lotus Temple.
As for the harvest.
Children only want to take risks and don't care about rewards.
As long as Yang An finally reminds Xiaoyu to shut up in front of his father and Jackie Chan, it will be fine.
Thinking of this, Yang An made up his mind, "Do you really want to know?"
In order to make himself more sincere, he also showed a long-lost smile.
If someone saw Yang An's smile, it would be a bit like kidnapping an ignorant girl.
but!
There is another benefit to Yang An's avatar in the heavens.
That is, his affinity after sharing is very high! Extremely high.
Affinity represents a person's sense of Yang An.
For example, the fact that his father can accept him as his disciple and is willing to teach him his knowledge is inseparable from Yang An's high affinity.
so.
Now when Yang An smiled, Xiaoyu was a little stunned.
From her perspective.
The light coming in from the semi-basement window just fell on the young man.
The young man smiled gently, had a tall figure and wore a somewhat baggy school uniform, but he didn't feel ugly. Instead, he had a lazy and carefree feeling.
She could see her own reflection in the deep eyes with a doting smile on her face that made people unable to lift her eyes.
If smiles also have levels, then this smile can definitely be rated as profound!
Xiaoyu's heart beat suddenly.
After a moment, she recovered from the smile that took her breath away.
He realized that he had been staring at Yang An's face in a daze.
Xiaoyu blushed a little, looked down at her toes, and just snorted from the tip of her nose.
"Yeah."
"."
Yang An's smile stiffened.
Why is this girl blushing suddenly? You are blushing like a bubble teapot.
Yang An couldn't help complaining when he saw Xiaoyu's coquettish appearance, which was completely inconsistent with her usual feminine appearance.
But he didn’t say it out loud.
"But you have to promise me one thing."
"What happened?"
Xiaoyu's heartbeat accelerated a little, and she felt a little embarrassed. Girls of this age usually have more complicated thoughts in their minds than boys.
When the little boy was still pulling girls' braids and reading the Bible with his uncle, the pastor.
Girls already have a crush on handsome men of the opposite sex.
Besides, this is America with open, ahem, simple folk customs.
Under the influence of what she heard and saw, Xiaoyu naturally understood the ignorant heartbeat as liking. It was because of this that she felt shy.
".Don't tell anyone else about our adventure."
"Ah?" Xiaoyu was a little confused, but she quickly realized, "Adventure?!"
It seems that compared to exciting love, Xiaoyu is still more obsessed with adventure.
Seeing the excitement on Xiaoyu's face, Yang An was relieved. For some reason, he felt that an invisible and terrifying force was locking him in!
"Yes, I can take you on an adventure, but you have to promise me that you will never tell anyone about this experience."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu's expression suddenly fell.
What’s the point of taking a risk that you can’t show off to others?
But
It would be very exciting if I could go out on an adventure alone with Yang An.
Xiaoyu thought for a while and asked, "What about Uncle Long and Dad?"
"I can't say." Yang An shrugged, then thought for a moment and said, "But I can assure you that this matter will not be any trouble, and it is not a bad thing."
"That means we are going to do good things?"
Xiaoyu's original hesitation was wiped away and she asked enthusiastically.
"So be it."
Yang An shrugged. If no one had access to the ancient wisdom inheritance of Lotus Temple, wouldn't it be a waste? He could learn and understand that knowledge.
As for doing good deeds, there are so many people lying in the Lotus Temple. Most of them probably broke in by mistake to pick up the poor trapped people.
If Xiaoyu can help crack the secret magic of Lotus Temple, it would be a good thing to let those people out.
Also
Although this Lotus Temple sounds good, I always feel that the place is a bit weird. If a normal temple doesn't want others to come in, why not just use that layer of enchantment to teleport people out?
At the same time, the rules of Lotus Temple were not clearly written.
The temple keeper will turn into a monster again
Everything proves that Lotus Temple is not a good place.
All in all, this adventure can be considered a good thing.
"Okay, I promise you."
Xiaoyu nodded.
Yang An originally hesitated whether to let Xiaoyu make an oath to him that could not be broken or something like that.
But thinking about it again, he finally got along well with Xiaoyu.
If Zhengqi had any sense, seeing how good he was to his own daughter, he probably wouldn't target him.
If Yang An coaxes Xiaoyu into making a poisonous oath that will lead to death if he breaks it, Zhengqi will at least reject him, let alone whether Zhengqi will find ways to help Xiaoyu get rid of this influence.
So, forget it.
"Then let's go."
Yang An stretched out his hand to Xiaoyu.
"."
"What's wrong?"
After not seeing the little girl holding it for a long time, Yang An asked strangely, and saw a little blush on Xiaoyu's face.
No, why are you acting coy again?
You're not like this usually.
Yang An didn't realize it yet, but his smile was gradually evolving into a biological weapon.
Xiaoyu looked at Yang An's outstretched palm and felt a little distracted again. Does this count as holding hands with Yang An?
After hearing the young man's doubtful inquiry, he finally came to his senses.
Coughing, Xiaoyu wanted to cover up her embarrassment, "Then let's leave like this. What will happen to the chimpanzees at the door?"
It can be seen that Xiaoyu's chimpanzee is still disgusted.
Yang An satisfiedly took Xiaoyu's hand and smiled mysteriously.
"Let them wait outside. Their presence is just evidence of our alibi."
"Huh?"
Xiaoyu just felt Yang An's smooth and warm palms, which were as smooth as warm jade. She didn't understand what he meant at all and raised her head in confusion.
At this time, Yang An was already spinning on the spot with Xiaoyu.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang on the door.
In the storage room, the two figures suddenly disappeared without a trace.
door.
Several little chimpanzees were standing there angrily and banging on the door.
"No, no, the teacher will notice it."
"If you notice it, just notice it. My brother is a member of the Blood Gang. They don't dare to mess with me."
"Idiot, but those teachers will take those two guys away."
"Then what should we do?"
"I must teach that girl a lesson, I'm going to throw her into the pool."
"Just wait here, I don't believe they won't come out."
"Good idea! That's right, let's wait, don't say anything, let them think we're gone, wait for them to open the door, bang! Robbery!"
"Cool, just do it."
Several little chimpanzees cheered that their simple minds were finally smart.
Little did he know that they were so loud, and the storage room had wooden walls. There were really people inside, and they might have heard their 'plot' a long time ago.
But now, they have become Yang An and Xiaoyu's 'alibi'.
