Chapter 28: Head of Security Department

  This whole afternoon I couldn't get a moment's peace, that owl Jin Gang Pao kept chattering in my ear, one minute wanting to learn the True Words of Observation, the next wanting to learn the Great Method of Absorbing Stars. In the end, I had no choice but to patiently explain to him: "The True Words of Observation are too dangerous for your current level of cultivation, and the True Words of Control are even more so - didn't you see how I almost got myself killed when I used it once? Besides, what I just used was only a borrowed breath technique, not some Great Method of Absorbing Stars."

  "When can I learn then?" Jin Gang Pao still refused to let go.

  "In three years, then." I casually mentioned a date.

  "What?!" Jin Gang Pao's face was filled with astonishment.

  I also feel that I've said too much, this stick is probably a bit too heavy, don't hurt the brotherly feelings. "You take the pen and paper."

  "Wow! How high can you jump?"

  "I don't have such a stupid grandson like you," I joked.

  I picked up the paper and pen and wrote down the Observation Incantation for him. Although the incantation is dangerous, his current cultivation level won't put his life at risk. He took the incantation and excitedly tried to read a few sentences. Not reading it would have been better; now that he's read it, I can rest assured - he misread several words in one sentence. The incantation is simply a spell that allows one to sense external energies, and every word, every character, even the tone of voice must be precise. With his pronunciation, he'll likely strain his vocal cords without achieving any effect.

  Who knows this guy is greedy and still wants the Jade Emperor's Decree, I'd rather die than write it again. The Jade Emperor's Decree is a life-threatening thing, I can't harm him.

  Jin Gang Pao took a look and saw that it was hopeless, so he proactively retreated a step and started asking me for the "Xi Xing Da Fa" mantra and true words.

  "You can't even master the most basic Wind Movement Technique, and you still want to learn the Borrowing Air Technique?" I scolded mercilessly. The Borrowing Air Technique is not particularly dangerous for oneself, but if it's not controlled properly, it can be fatal. Teaching this to him would be no different from putting a heavy machine gun in the hands of a three-year-old child.

  He also muttered and refused to give in...

  Later I was really annoyed and decided to pretend to sleep and ignore him. Who knew that this pretence actually made me fall asleep.

  In the late afternoon, Mr. Yang personally drove to pick up Jin Gang and me at the Di Hao Building. After a brief rest, I can now basically walk on my own.

  Entering the private room, wow. A whole house of people. Everyone from Wang's family was there, including the eldest daughter and son-in-law with their two kids. The pregnant wife of Yang's family was also present. I patiently greeted everyone one by one.

  After finally sitting down, Wang Lao and Yang Zong handed over a red envelope each. I took it with one hand and handed it to Jin Gang Pao. This is what we exchanged for our lives, don't refuse it for nothing.

  After three rounds of drinking, Wang Lao called over his two nephews who were running around and shouting outside the private room. He insisted that I take a look at their future prospects. Wang Lao's son-in-law was even more outrageous, asking me to help him find a good feng shui burial site for his still-living father, which left me speechless with frustration. Although there is a method of observing the air and searching for dragons in the art of divination, it's not something that can be used just because you want to, and your few words aren't worth me risking my life for you again. Besides, whether or not someone is buried on a dragon vein after death isn't even the main reason for a family's prosperity, the most important thing is still the hard work and efforts of their descendants.

  Looking at his detestable face, I almost said "It's suitable to bury your dad in Hainan Island." After thinking about it, this joke can't be made. They now look at me with eyes similar to those looking at a half-immortal. If I say it, he might actually be able to take his dad to Hainan Island.

  In the end, I was only saying pleasant things, but Jin Gang Pao couldn't hold it in anymore. Several times he wanted to interrupt me, but I glared him back. Until finally, I patted Wang Lao's nephew on the head and said he would live a long life, when Jin Gang Pao completely lost his composure: "Old Yu, are you kidding me? His main destiny is so short, if he makes it to thirty that's already pretty good!" Suddenly everyone was stunned.

  KanGang gun ah KanGang gun, can you choke to death without telling the truth?

  The originally pleasant banquet was ruined by this owl's one sentence, and it wasn't until I agreed to help Wang Lao's nephew prolong his life that the atmosphere slightly improved. There is a way to prolong life, Zhuge Kongming's Seven Stars Prolonging Life is one of them, but there is no such technique in observing aura. I was just casually saying something to comfort them. Who knew that my casual remark would be remembered by Jingangpao, and every time he met me for the next half year, he would pester me for the method, damn it!

  It wasn't easy to hold on until the end of the banquet, and when it was time to disperse, I grabbed Jin Gang Pao's hand again to borrow some spiritual energy, and confirmed Wang Yanpei's breath. Sure enough, I didn't misjudge, there is still one soul that hasn't dispersed!

  Director Yang personally drove his car with his little wife, and sent me and Jin Gangpao back to the hospital. On the way, I asked him to help Jin Gangpao find a job. The other party's response was also very concise: "Come to my company, Security Department Head!"
