Someone said he saw shadows on the wall in the rain . Another person said he heard people laughing in a palace at night . There were all sorts of stories, including the ones related to the Temple of Heaven .
“I must have gotten it wrong!” The guard walked back with a torch . He subconsciously looked up before walking away .
Oh my god! He was shocked . A man was standing on top of Qinian Palace . He was surrounded by moonlight . His whole body was shining . He looked like a god .
Plump!
The guard’s knelt down and said, “Amitabha, amitabha!”
Wang Yao had a wonderful feeling while standing on top of Qinian Palace . The aura was very active there . He felt he could reach the sky from that spot . He enjoyed being showered by the moonlight and light from the stars . He felt he was changing and upgrading . It was a feeling he couldn’t describe .
A sudden sound brought him back to reality .
What a shame! Wang Yao sighed .
He looked toward the noise and saw a person kneeling on the ground with a torch .
“I must have scared the hell out of him,” Wang Yao said .
He jumped from the other side of Qinian Palace .
The guard kneeling on the ground didn’t dare look up or get up . When he finally got up to look around, the figure on top of Qinian Palace had disappeared .
Although he was not an academic person, he was familiar with the buildings in the areas . He knew how tall exactly each building was . Qinian Palace was 124 feet tall . No one could reach its top without assistance from special devices unless he was not a human being .
Then, what is he? The guard was sweating with fear .
Wang Yao didn’t immediately return to the hotel after he left the Temple of Heaven . Instead, he went to the Temple of Earth . He wanted to find the feeling back but failed .
What a shame!
He knew it was absolutely by chance to gain insight into the world . Last time, he had a feeling of understanding the universe when he was on the Great Wall . This time, he didn’t know when and where he would gain the insight of the universe again .

Time to go .
He went back to the hotel . It was peaceful overnight .
The night guard who worked at the Temple of Heaven resigned the next day .
“Why?” his superior asked . He wanted to keep this devoted old staff member .
“I saw a god or a ghost,” the guard said .
Whatever he thought he had seen, he didn’t think he should continue to work there . He didn’t want to lose his life .
Wang Yao went to the Wu family’s house again to provide the same treatment to the old man .
“I’ve done everything I can . I’m leaving in the afternoon,” Wang Yao said .
“OK . ” Wu Tongxing didn’t say much this time .
“You are not going to say goodbye to Miss Su?” Chen Ying asked with a smile after hearing Wang Yao was leaving .
“It is not necessary,” Wang Yao said .
“I think she’ll get upset about it,” Chen Ying said .
Wang Yao’s flight was in the afternoon . Chen Ying and Chen Zhou came to see him off .
As soon as he boarded on the plane, a person came to the cottage where he stayed . It was Su Xiaoxue .
“No one is in?” She was disappointed to see the locked door .
I should call Chen Ying .
“See? What did I say?” Chen Ying said with a smile when she saw Su Xiaoxue’s number on her phone .

“What? Dr . Wang has left? When?” As expected, Su Xiaoxue was disappointed .
“Just now,” Chen Ying said .
“Why didn’t he tell me he was leaving?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Dr . Wang asked me not to tell anyone . He didn’t want to bother anyone . I’m sorry,” Chen Ying said .
“Never mind . ” Su Xiaoxue hung up the phone .
“Miss Su, where would you like to go?” asked her maid, a woman in her 40s .
“Nowhere . I want to go home . ” She suddenly lost all interest .
“OK,” the maid said .
On their way back home, they bumped into a young man with a shiny smile .
“Xiaoxue, I was going to visit you at home . Where have you been?” Guo Zhenghe asked with a smile .
“Just walking around . ” Su Xiaoxue was not in the mood to talk to Guo Zhenghe . Plus, she didn’t like him at all .
Why didn’t Dr . Wang say goodbye to me? Is it because I’m too annoying? She couldn’t stop thinking .
Noticing that Su Xiaoxue was not in a good mood, Guo Zhenghe didn’t continue to talk with her . He just quietly walked her home .
“Zhenghe?” Song Ruiping was a bit surprised to see him .
This young man is so purposeful . He’s been coming too often!
Guo Zhenghe had no intention to hide his interest in Su Xiaoxue .
“Mom, Zhenghe, I’m tired . I’m going back to my room,” Su Xiaoxue said .

“OK,” Song Ruiping said .
“Take care,” Guo Zhenghe said .
Su Xiaoxue didn’t stay in the living room to have a chat with Guo Zhenghe, who visited her often . She went back to her room and sat in front of the window doing nothing .
Guo Zhenghe didn’t stay for long .
“That kid has changed,” Song Ruiping said .
After Guo Zhenghe left, Song Ruiping asked, “What’s wrong with Xiaoxue?”
“Dr . Wang has left,” the maid said .
“What about Chen Ying?” Song Ruiping asked .
“She took Dr . Wang to the airport,” the maid said .
Song Ruiping nodded . “I see . ”
She went to see her daughter and found Su Xiaoxue gazing out the window, looking preoccupied .
“Mom?” She returned to herself when she heard her mother coming .
“What’s on your mind?” Song Ruiping sat next to her daughter and gently asked .
“Mom, do you think I’m annoying?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Of course not,” Song Ruiping immediately said . “My daughter is nice and pretty, like a fairy or a genie . Everyone likes you . You will never annoy anybody in this world . ” Song Ruiping smiled .
“But, I don’t think so,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Do you want to get out of Beijing?” Song Ruiping asked .
She knew her daughter wanted to travel . She was happy to take her around . After all, Su Xiaoxue had been stuck in bed for so many years . Fortunately, she was tough enough not to break .
Song Ruiping had consulted a few professionals about her daughter’s mental health . She was told it was normal for Su Xiaoxue to have mood swings after suffering from a horrible disease for a number of years . It was already amazing that Su Xiaoxue didn’t become crazy after having such a horrible experience . She would gradually get better .
Song Ruiping believed it was good for Su Xiaoxue to travel around to meet different people .
“Yes,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Where would you like to go? I’ll come with you,” Song Ruiping said .
“I want to go to Sanqing Mountain, Dragon Tiger Hill, and Wudang Mountain . ” Su Xiaoxue said .
“What?” Song Ruiping was surprised .
All three places were famous Taoist places . In fact, the place Su Xiaoxue wanted to go most was Wang Yao’s village . Maybe it was because she had read a lot of the Taoist scriptures that she turned to the next best choice .
“Good, I’ll go with you,” Song Ruiping said with a smile .
Wang Yao arrived in Haiqu at night . He found he had a few missed calls, all of which were from Professor Lu . He called him back .
Professor Lu was anxious because Wen Wan’s condition declined rapidly .
“Is she still looking after her mother?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes,” Professor Lu said .
He was very worried . He and Wen Wan’s siblings all tried to convince her to stop looking after her mother, but she wouldn’t listen . She insisted to stay with her sick mother . Even a healthy person would be exhausted after taking care of a patient for some time, let alone she was sick herself .
“Has she taken the Nine Herbs pills?” Wang Yao asked .
“She’s taken all of the pills,” Professor Lu said .
Initially, the Nine Herbs pills were useful for Wen Wan . However, Professor Lu found she looked worse day by day . He was worried and had gotten angry with her the day before .
“Do you want to die before your mother? Are you gonna let your mother watch you die?” Professor Lu asked .
Wen Wan’s siblings were also angry at her . They didn’t want to lose two family members at the same time . Wen Wan eventually agreed to accept treatment . She broke down as soon as she arrived at the hospital .
