Chapter 2828: Chapter 2828: System Mission
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi didn’t call back and continued to accompany Little Nuonuo, digging in the sand beside him.
However, regarding the matter of the Shangqing Palace, I still have to go back and take a look.
The Daoist priest’s job has only one task left before it’s completed, so I can’t keep delaying it.
Ring ring ring—
Not long after, Lin Yi’s phone rang again, this time it was Li Yongnian calling.
"Uncle Master, are you busy?"
"Busy taking care of the kid."
"I’ll call you later then, it’s nothing urgent."
"It’s fine, you can tell me now."
"There’s an exchange event, Master wants you to go, so he asked me to call and get your opinion."
"Exchange event?" Lin Yi muttered, "Zhengyi Temple is declining, and the Shangqing Palace is dominating, who are we exchanging with?"
"Corea." Li Yongnian said,
"The Daoist Association over there has invited us for an exchange."
"Corea?" Lin Yi muttered,
"If I’m not mistaken, their ancestral roots are here on our side, yet they want to exchange with us?"
"That’s true, but you know how things are over there, always trying to distance themselves from us. I guess this invitation is partly about that."
"Did they say when it starts?"
"Master plans to leave the day after tomorrow and wants to know if you’re going."
"Okay, I’ll come find you guys when the time comes."
"So it’s settled then."
"Mm."
After hanging up with Li Yongnian, Lin Yi continued playing in the sand with the child.
As for the exchange matter, he didn’t take it to heart.
But at this moment, a system prompt sounded.
[System Task: Attend the Daoist exchange meeting in Corea, rewarded with 200,000 Master level driving skills.]
So, the task has been triggered?
Played with the child until after 3 p.m. when Ji Qingyan returned from shopping, carrying lots of bags.
But most of it was for Lin Yi and the child.
"Let me interview you, how does it feel being at home with the kid?" Ji Qingyan asked with a smile.
"I’m about to fall asleep." Lin Yi yawned.
"Your daughter is like this; she doesn’t play with dolls or toys, just loves playing with sand. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made her a sandpit."
"Kids today are nothing like when we were young."
"I think they’re pretty much the same," Ji Qingyan said,
"Back then, every household wasn’t well-off, and getting to play with sand was already considered good."
"We used to compete on who could pee the farthest, and I always came first."
"You guys were really boring." Ji Qingyan picked up the child and said,
"Everything’s in the car, help me fetch it. I bought you some clothes, go try them on."
"Just in time, I have to go out tomorrow, so it’s perfect."
"Going out? Not leaving again, are you?"
"No, just a trip to Corea. There’s a Daoist association over there inviting us to an event."
"How many days until you return?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment, "Definitely back within a week."
"As long as it’s not a mission, it’s fine."
Though she didn’t express dissatisfaction, it was clear Ji Qingyan wasn’t fond of him going on missions.
She didn’t want to bind Lin Yi to her side, just didn’t want him doing dangerous things anymore.
"One can’t go on missions all the time; even the production brigade’s donkey can’t be used like this."
"Exactly, if this business trip frequency continues, I’d have to say something to them."
The two entered the house with the child, and despite being a mom, Ji Qingyan still kept her old habits.
Every time she bought new clothes, she’d have Lin Yi try them on and give her critiques.
And Lin Yi had long been accustomed to this mode; for him, this was happiness.
The next morning, Lin Yi drove to Lingyun Group.
Although he’s a hands-off boss, he can’t completely let go of the company’s business.
After finishing the meeting at noon, Lin Yi went to the hospital to visit Li Chuhan.
"Lin Bro!"
Seeing Lin Yi, Qiao Xin welcomed him in.
"Director Li is on rounds. She’ll be back soon."
"No hurry, you guys go ahead."
"We are a bit busy, cough cough..." Qiao Xin coughed a few times, "Ladies, let’s get to work, or this month’s bonus will be gone."
Anyone could hear the subtext in Qiao Xin’s words, and they all smilingly tidied up and left the office.
Otherwise, they’d really risk losing their bonus.
Soon, Li Chuhan walked in from outside, habitually sat next to Lin Yi, and softly asked,
"Not busy lately?"
"I’ve delegated the company’s matters, so as long as the execution is on point, I have nothing to do," Lin Yi said,
"Do you have some time? Can you take leave?"
"What’s up? I can request leave from the dean."
"It’s nothing major, planning to go play in Corea for a few days. If you’re free, you can come with me, treat it like a vacation."
Li Chuhan was tempted but said,
"If it’s for leisure, I won’t go. There are quite a few patients in the department right now, if I leave, it will be too much work for others."
Lin Yi knew Li Chuhan’s personality; patients were her top priority. She wouldn’t easily take leave without important reasons.
"Alright then, let’s go out some other time."
"Mm-hmm."
That night, Lin Yi and Li Chuhan went to the market together, made dinner at home, then snuggled on the couch to watch a movie.
Although plain and simple, this kind of simple bliss was what Li Chuhan had long yearned for the most.
A little past eleven, Lin Yi drove home, Ji Qingyan was feeding the baby and gently put it in the crib, coaxing it back to sleep.
"What time are you going out tomorrow?" Ji Qingyan asked.
"Leaving at noon is soon enough, no hurry."
"Mm, then no need to get up early."
"Saying no need to get up early reminds me of something."
"Oh? What does it remind you of?"
"Means not sleeping early tonight."
"Not sleep early?"
"Right."
With that, Lin Yi pounced on Ji Qingyan, showing her exactly what he meant.
After staying up till the middle of the night, the two only woke up after ten the next morning.
Since the luggage was already packed, Lin Yi didn’t have to prepare anything, and after breakfast, he left.
When he returned to the Shangqing Palace, it was already after five in the afternoon.
"Uncle Master, you’re back."
After months apart, seeing Lin Yi again, the people at Shangqing Palace were very excited and gathered around him, reluctant to leave.
Besides that, Zhang Xiaoyun, who had taken over the family business, was also there.
"Why have you come back? Encountered troubles again?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.
"No, I heard from senior brother you were back, so I came to see you, and I’m tagging along with you guys, hehe."
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoyun patted her leg.
"How about these black tights? They’re even lettered ones."
"You really get me."
At this moment, Zhang Youfu stepped out from the crowd.
"Junior Brother, you finally returned," Zhang Youfu said,
"It’s been so long, did you ever think of me, still as beautiful as a flower?"
