Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 29

The idea of ​​making money just flashed through Su Miaomiao’s head, and was quickly thrown aside.

The summer vacation was long, so Su Miaomiao first went back to her hometown in the county to stay with her paternal grandparents for half a month, then came back to stay with her parents for two days, and immediately went to Jiangcheng to visit her maternal grandparents.

Su Mingan didn’t worry about his daughter going out by herself, he was the one who escorted her there.

Su Miaomiao was beautiful, well-behaved, and her academic performance was good. The only shortcoming was that she liked to sleep a lot. But in the elders’ eyes, the child worked so hard at school, so summer vacation was for sleeping.

With the connivance of her grandparents, Su Miaomiao could sleep until she woke up naturally every day.

So every time Xie Jingyuan video chatted with her, he would see a girly face that was rosy and moist.

“What did you do today?” He asked as usual. He contacted Su Miaomiao to ensure that she did not harm others outside.

Su Miaomiao reported truthfully, “I got up at nine o’clock in the morning. My cousin took me to the playground for a day and we came back after dinner.”

As she spoke, she yawned at the camera.

She had so much fun during the day, so at that moment she felt limp and just wanted to sleep.

Xie Jingyuan looked away, and when she closed her mouth, he looked over indifferently, “When will you be back?”

Su Miaomiao rubbed her eyes and said, “On Saturday. My cousin is about to start university, so she will take me home first, and stay at our house for one night before going to Beijing.”

Anshi was located next to Jingshi, and it only took one and a half hours by train.

The day after was Saturday.

Xie Jingyuan confirmed her return date and was about to end the video call.

Su Miaomiao suddenly remembered, leaned closer to the screen and said, “Taoist Master, we arrive at the airport at 12 noon. Dad is still on a business trip and mom is busy with work. Why don’t you come to the airport to pick us up? Grandpa and grandma bought me a lot of delicious food, but the suitcase is too heavy to drag around.”

The cousin brought a suitcase by herself. Su Miaomiao didn’t want to bother her cousin anymore, but it was no problem to bother Xie Jingyuan, as that was what he should do.

Xie Jingyuan was silent for a few seconds, nodded, and hung up the video call at the same time.

Su Miaomiao also put her phone on the bedside table, pulled up the quilt and fell asleep after a second.

At 10:30 on Saturday morning, Xie Jingyuan came out of the study room and said to Grandma Tao who was watching TV in the living room, “I’m leaving.”

Grandma Tao smiled and said, “Go quickly. Miaomiao has been outside for most of the summer vacation, so bring her back soon.”

She missed Su Miaomiao no less than Su Mingan and his wife.

Xie Jingyuan wore his sneakers and opened the door.

At that time, Su Miaomiao and her cousin Tang Yan were still on the plane.

Su Miaomiao was sitting in the window seat, leaning against the back of the chair and sleeping comfortably, when suddenly the plane shook violently.

Tang Yan grabbed her cousin’s hand nervously.

She woke up, and when her eyesight recovered, the plane had resumed a stable flight.

“What’s wrong?” Su Miaomiao asked, puzzled.

Tang Yan laughed and said, “It’s nothing. Even if the sky is falling, it won’t affect your sleep.”

Su Miaomiao looked at her watch. It was more than an hour before the plane landed.

She was bored and was about to go back to sleep when Tang Yan took out a book from her carry-on backpack. On the dark cover was printed the words “Suppressing the Demons”.

Su Miaomiao wouldn’t care about the title of the book, but the name “Suppressing the Demon” gave her a murderous vibe.

After all, she was a demon.

“Cousin, what book is this?” Su Miaomiao approached curiously.

Seeing that she was interested, Tang Yan introduced “Suppressing the Demons is a novel that became popular among males last year, and it was published this year.”

“What is it about?”

“It’s about a Taoist master who just joined the Taoist temple. While learning art, he followed his master down the mountain to catch demons. If you like it, I will give it to you after reading it. Actually, this book has been popular for almost a year. I used to not like reading novels. I was really bored during the holidays, so my roommate recommended this book to me. It’s so good!”

Su Miaomiao couldn’t empathize with her cousin’s obsession, she was just a little flustered, “Is the story in it true? There really are demons and such powerful Taoist masters in this world?”

The previous summer, Grandma Tao took her and Xie Jingyuan to travel, and once they passed a temple.

The Taoist masters inside were basically no different from ordinary people. They could only chant scriptures and do some superficial Kung Fu for physical fitness.

Su Miaomiao also believed Xie Jingyuan’s words, believing that there were no demons in that world, and there were no powerful Taoist masters.

But what if?

Su Miaomiao was seriously confused which made Tang Yan laugh. She pinched Su Miaomiao’s smooth apple-like face and said, “You are about to go to high school. Why are you so silly? There are no demons or ghosts in this world. They are all the author’s imagination. Have you read ‘Ghost Blowing the Lantern’, you can’t think that all the ghosts in it are real, right?”

Su Miaomiao knew “Ghost Blowing the Lantern”, Cheng Yue bought a copy, and after reading it, she had nightmares.

When the book was finally in Su Miaomiao’s hands, she only turned a few pages in class, and Xie Jingyuan confiscated it…

Su Miaomiao looked at the cover of “Suppressing the Demons”. The author was a guy named “Xuanji”.
