Shi Jian, who was educating A Wei, walked in front of the Western restaurant in Chen Family Town.
"It's been a long time since I've had Western food. I've made a lot of money, so I have to indulge."
"Anyway, today isn't a fasting day!"
With his mind made up, Shi Jian instructed A Wei, who was beside him, to call Mao Xiaofang to the Western restaurant for a meal.
"Fortunately, I'm a Taoist priest of the Zhengyi sect. Our precepts aren't as strict as the Quanzhen sect, so I can pretty much eat whatever I want."
Shi Jian felt very fortunate to be a Zhengyi Taoist, not having to worry about religious precepts.
As a good youth from Blue Star, he truly couldn't stand the strict precepts of the Quanzhen sect.
After A Wei left, Shi Jian walked into the restaurant and began ordering dishes.
Apart from beef, he could eat almost anything that didn't contain the five pungent spices.
A few minutes later, A Wei arrived at the Western restaurant with Mao Xiaofang, not daring to delay.
"Master, we're here!"
Shi Jian, who was drinking coffee, saw Mao Xiaofang and A Wei and motioned for them to sit down.
"Senior Brother, Master has struck it rich recently, so eat to your heart's content without holding back."
A Wei, seated on a stool, began to devour the food as if he hadn't eaten for days.
Uncharacteristically, Mao Xiaofang didn't touch any food. He kept staring at the dishes on the table, seemingly lost in thought.
"Master, I want to return to Gan Tian Town!"
After a moment of contemplation, Mao Xiaofang finally voiced his thoughts.
"With your current strength, you're still far from being able to take revenge on that zombie."
Shi Jian put down his coffee cup and immediately guessed that Mao Xiaofang wanted to take revenge on the Zombie King Xuan Kui.
The current realm of Zombie King Xuan Kui was definitely more than just a buried zombie; it was at least a flying zombie.
Most importantly, Zombie King Xuan Kui was not an ordinary zombie; its intelligence was considerably higher than that of wild zombie kings.
With Mao Xiaofang's current strength, he was no match for a flying zombie before learning the Lightning Flash and Thunder Roar Fist.
"Master, do I really have no chance of winning?"
Unwilling to give up, Mao Xiaofang continued to inquire.
"You have the Taiqing whisk protecting you, so it's not that you have no chance of winning."
"It's just that the chances are pitifully low, almost negligible."
Upon hearing that there was still a sliver of a chance, Mao Xiaofang's face showed a long-lost smile.
However, Shi Jian's next words poured cold water on him.
"Master, what are my chances?"
"You have a one percent chance, and Zombie King Xuan Kui has a ninety-nine percent chance."
A Wei, who was drinking coffee nearby, almost spat out his coffee.
"Your Master advises you not to go to Gan Tian Town to seek revenge on Zombie King Xuan Kui."
Having said that, Shi Jian continued to drink his coffee and eat some pastries.
If he didn't eat the pastries, A Wei beside him would have swept them all away.
"Master, I still want to go to Gan Tian Town to find Zombie King Xuan Kui."
Upon hearing Mao Xiaofang's words, Shi Jian put down his egg tart.
He had only rested for a few days after arriving in Chen Family Town and had just started to enjoy some pastries.
Now, he had to go out again to deal with the matter of Zombie King Xuan Kui pursuing Mao Xiaofang in the past.
If he didn't follow Mao Xiaofang, it would be certain death.
"Neither of you brothers gives your Master any peace of mind."
"One insists on going to his death, and the other only knows how to eat!"
A Wei, sitting beside him and eating egg tarts, was innocently caught in the crossfire and felt extremely wronged.
"Master, if you're worried about Senior Brother, you can accompany him to Gan Tian Town, and I'll stay here to guard the Ancestral Temple."
"That's a good idea. You'll guard the Ancestral Temple tomorrow, and I'll go to Gan Tian Town with your Senior Brother."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Shi Jian agreed without any hesitation.
He planned to leave A Wei alone to guard the Ancestral Temple to prevent anyone from stealing the demon infant statue.
"Master, did I hear you correctly?"
A Wei was stunned by Shi Jian's unexpected move.
He had only said it casually, but he didn't expect Shi Jian to agree.
"Junior Brother, you heard correctly. Stay home and draw talismans."
"I'll go to Gan Tian Town with Master. It won't take long."
In order to go to Gan Tian Town, Mao Xiaofang also persuaded him from the side.
With Shi Jian accompanying him, there would be no safety concerns on this trip.
"Alright then, you two go to Gan Tian Town to catch Zombie King Xuan Kui, and I'll stay to guard the Ancestral Temple."
Finally, after Mao Xiaofang's persistent pleading, A Wei agreed to stay and guard the Ancestral Temple.
"Master, when do we set off for Gan Tian Town?"
Eager to catch Zombie King Xuan Kui, Mao Xiaofang wished he could fly to Gan Tian Town immediately.
"What's the rush? Zombie King Xuan Kui has been missing for so many years, and it's not necessarily in Gan Tian Town."

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaofang, sitting beside him, found it very reasonable.
Several years had passed since they encountered Zombie King Xuan Kui.
Zombie King Xuan Kui couldn't possibly stay in the same place all the time.
"Master, do you have any way to find Xuan Kui?"
"No, this is your business, it has nothing to do with me."
"Your Master is just going out for a bit of travel."
Shi Jian had no intention of helping Mao Xiaofang find Xuan Kui's whereabouts.
When he met Mao Xiaofang and accepted him as a disciple, he had already said that he would not interfere in this matter.
"Let's go. I've eaten enough, and it's time to head to Gan Tian Town."
After eating his fill, Shi Jian brought the two back to the Ancestral Temple.
He handed five "Zhuxie Shenlei Talismans" to A Wei for self-defense, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
Mao Xiaofang, having packed the necessary magical artifacts for his task, approached Shi Jian.
"Master, the magical artifacts are all prepared. We can set off at any time."
"This time, your Master will not intervene against the zombie king. You must prepare yourself thoroughly."
With that said, Shi Jian took Mao Xiaofang and teleported away from the Ancestral Temple, quickly heading towards Gan Tian Town.
The journey was relatively smooth, without encountering the Red and White Double Fiends or any unexpected situations from last time.
By the time the master and disciple arrived at Gan Tian Town, it was already past midnight.
"Let's find an inn to stay in first. Tomorrow, you can look for Zombie King Xuan Kui's hiding place."
Familiar with the place, Shi Jian led them to an inn where he had stayed temporarily a few years ago.
Gan Tian Town had not changed much in the past few years; it was still the same as before.
After paying the copper coins, the master and disciple entered the room and closed their eyes to rest.
When they opened their eyes again, it was already morning.
"Trying to find Zombie King Xuan Kui is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Without any medium, no spells will work."
"You should go and ask the villagers if anything strange has happened recently."
Shi Jian, who had just woken up, saw Mao Xiaofang preparing his magical artifacts and kindly reminded him.
Then, he put on a black and white Taoist robe, which made him appear different from ordinary Taoist priests.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
Mao Xiaofang, suddenly enlightened, dropped the magical artifacts in his hands and turned to wander outside Gan Tian Town.
He intended to try and find some clues about Zombie King Xuan Kui.
