Shi Beiyu glanced at him again before he snorted. "Not as hardcore as you."
When Shi Ran heard that, he let out an awkward laugh and said, "I'm talking about you now, don't drag me into this. But… didn't that old man come last night? Why are we looking for him again today?"
Upon saying so, the smile on his handsome face disappeared as a shiver ran down his spine.
Shi Beiyu said wanly, "I need his help to take a look at something."
Shi Ran felt relieved after his reassurance.
Luckily, it was just to take a look at something instead of a person.
After arriving at the Land Temple, Master Hu, who always plays chess was somehow sweeping the yard. When he saw that Shi Beiyu and Shi Ran came, he immediately shove the broom to Shi Ran. "This yard has not been swept for a few days. Help me clean it up, kid."
Shi Ran's lips twitched when he heard that. "Why must I sweep the yard?"
