章 8: acting the part
Song Shuhang was slowly getting impatient, his food was all eaten, and his espresso had been drunken already.
He knew that J-City neighbored Jiangnan District and was a religious resort, where people would get dazzled with all kinds of different faiths, and it was where Soft Feather wanted to go.
The previous chat was still on his phone.
In Nine Provinces Number One Chat Group
Spirit Butterfly Island's Soft Feather (mobile): "Senior Northern River, I am heading for Luo Xin street area, but the taxi driver doesn't know Ghost Lamp Temple. I'm going to ask local residents about it after I get there, maybe someone will know it."
"Ok, I've asked a few people about it, but for now, nobody knows it. Anyway, I'll contact you if I get any clues." Northern River's Loose Cultivator replied.
"Thank you, Senior 😊" Soft Feather replied.
✨✨✨
Song Shuhang was currently looking around, and listening for any sign of the girl, but all he heard was the uninteresting talk of the people around him.
" I don't know...he seems good, but I don't like guys like that " The whispered conversation attracted his attention, and he listened in.
" Besides, didn't he have three girlfriends previously? He's obviously a player "
Song Shuhang enhanced his senses, and took a slight glance at the group of girls.
He saw the girl who had been talking, and immediately knew she wasn't interested in the male gender. How? He had a crush on a girl back in high-school and thought she wasn't taken, only to walk in to find her making out with his sister.
That was the day he learned how to identify people's s*xual orientation, but also the day he...pushed his sister away.
Shuhang sighed in regret, if only he didn't push his sister away.
Time slowly ticked away.
About twenty minutes later, three guys had arrived and began talking about girls.
Honestly, Shuhang was empressed at how much knowledge they had, and how they were capable of hiding their lecherous looks!
"Hurry, look at that! 100 points, it's a 100 points pair of legs!" Shuhang took a side glance, and saw Soft Feather!
"Where?" The sunshine guy asked.
Below the huge LED screen, a slender and pretty silhouette walked out from the corner of the street. She was dragging a huge luggage case, but didn't seem strained at all.
Long black hair reaching her waist was like waterfall, falling from her back, and fluttered along the wind.
A tall stature, and despite wearing a pair of flat sports shoes, it was evident that her legs were much longer than those of surrounding people. Each of her steps covered distance that would take two to three steps of ordinary people's.
She exuded a feeling of being manifestly superior than others, having natural disposition that attracted others' gazes and being the focus of everything.
The black-haired beauty was quick on her feet. With just a few steps, she had reached the red skirt lady whom the three dudes were discussing earlier on. When perfect things were appraised one by one, perhaps they wouldn't seem dazzling. However, once there was a point of reference for comparison, the difference would be seen.
The beauty was Soft Feather, and the person he had been waiting for.
He ignored the perverted trio(reference) and stayed seated.
He would play it out, but of course he wouldn't waste his time inviting her over. He had a herb to collect, and perfection to reach!
He watched one of them try to ask her out, but couldn't catch up! It was actually funny, but Shuhang didn't express it.
Her beauty was hard to miss, who's eyes wouldn't be attracted to a beautiful figure and face like that? Maybe someone who was an asexual?
Shuhang slightly leaned his body aside to make way for her so that she could pass through with her huge suitcase.
"Thank you." The black-haired belle said softly and shyly.
Then, she strode into a small shop behind him.
Song Shuhang waited for her to ask the shopkeeper, than he would make his entrance.
A couple of minutes had past, and Soft Feather had finished shopping and asked the shopkeeper about the temple.
"Sir, do you know if there is a temple called 'Ghost Lamp Temple' in Luo Xin street area?"
Thinking for a while, the shopkeeper shook his head, "Ghost Lamp Temple? I've never heard of it. But I just moved here two years ago, so I don't know much about this area. You can ask shopkeepers of those old shops. They've stayed in Luo Xin street area for long, and they probably know more."
That was his time to shine, and so he stood up.
✨✨✨
Soft Feather dragged her suitcase wearily and came out of the shop in disappointment.
This had been the twelfth shop. The shopkeeper's suggestion was very good, but she'd asked a lot of shopkeepers—of both new and old stores—but no one knew about Ghost Lamp Temple.
With a sigh, she pulled out her phone, but was interrupted by a voice.
" Are you Soft Feather?"
Soft Feather paused, and looked up—unexpectedly, the young looking man couldn't be a senior in the Nine Provinces Number One Group could he.
She ran up to him, and to confirm it.
✨✨✨
"Are you a member of the Nine Provinces Number One Group?" The soft voice of Soft Feather was had a hint of curiosity.
At this moment, Song Shuhang smiled a beaming one and responded back to her question.
"I am a member, call me Song Shuhang "
She looked at him and noted how he looked 18 or 19 years old. Surely this wasn't his real age? He was about 2 meters tall. With a handsome face, looked like an easy-going man, and emitted a calm, and serene aura.
Also, she couldn't feel his cultivation realm, not even a speck. 'It seems that this senior had completely concealed his qi'. When he was standing in front of her, it seemed that he was just a normal person and not a cultivator at all.
'He must have reached the the state of recovering simplicity and returning to the original nature, just like my father.' Soft Feather thought, how wrong could she be?
" So you're looking for the Ghost Lamp Temple? " He asked her, already knowing the answer he was gonna get.
