Fu Daoyi seemed to have already guessed that Song Xiangdong would say this, and didn’t wait for him to finish speaking before interrupting with an explanation. But the look on Fu Daoyi’s face made Song Xiangdong have the urge to punch him!
"Now is not the time to talk about this; what are your insights on the Dao Scripture?"
In his heart, Fu Daoyi looked forward to hearing Lin Beichen’s thoughts with intense anticipation. From the way Fu Daoyi looked at Lin Beichen, one might even think he had some "special" feelings for Lin Beichen.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Song Xiangdong decided to stop making a fool of himself and sat back down to eat.
"I have some insights, but I can’t articulate them yet."
Lin Beichen’s expression suddenly turned serious. This uncomfortable feeling made Lin Beichen very uneasy. After all, he had been studying for so long, yet he only had a little enlightenment, despite having the added ability of "Enlightenment".
However, what Lin Beichen said sounded completely different to Fu Daoyi. After all, the Dao Scripture embodied the culmination of the Daoist Sect’s wisdom.
Even elite disciples of the Daoist Sect might not be able to comprehend much, let alone someone like Lin Beichen who had gained some insights.
If Fu Daoyi knew that Lin Beichen was still dissatisfied with his own enlightenment, he would probably rush up and beat him up. This was too much like showing off!
"Since that’s the case, we should leave now."
Song Xiangdong said just in time.
Fu Daoyi frowned upon hearing this. If possible, he would certainly hope Lin Beichen could stay longer to continue his enlightenment of the Dao Scripture. Fu Daoyi also wanted to hear Lin Beichen’s thoughts on it.
Although Lin Beichen’s insights might not be useful to him, they could serve as a reference. Moreover, in Fu Daoyi’s mind, Lin Beichen was already considered the chosen one of the Daoist Sect, so naturally, Lin Beichen’s insights were deemed very important.
However, since Lin Beichen was not a member of Dragon Tiger Mountain or the Daoist Sect, Fu Daoyi had no suitable reason to ask him to stay and could only vent his anger on Song Xiangdong.
Thinking of this, Fu Daoyi gave Song Xiangdong a fierce look. If looks could kill, Song Xiangdong would have been cut to pieces by now.
"Wouldn’t you know it, we happen to have something at the security bureau that requires Lin Beichen’s presence."
Song Xiangdong also put on a helpless look.
"Revenge! This is definitely naked revenge!"
Fu Daoyi thought to himself.
"If there’s time in the future, I won’t hesitate to trouble Daoist Fu."
Lin Beichen smiled slightly.
"No problem, no problem. You could stay here indefinitely, and I wouldn’t mind."
Upon hearing this, the anger on Fu Daoyi’s face disappeared instantly, replaced by a broad smile. His change of expression was so quick that even a master of Sichuan opera would consider themselves inferior.
"Look at how kind our kid is!"
Song Xiangdong said with a fake smile that made Fu Daoyi have the urge to plant his size 42 shoe on Song Xiangdong’s square, size 44 face.
When Song Xiangdong spoke, he deliberately emphasized the words "our kid," clearly asserting his authority. However, because of Lin Beichen’s words, the tension between the two lessened considerably.
Of course, Lin Beichen was not trying to mediate their relationship. He was genuinely interested in Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Daoist Sect.
"Alright, let’s get down to business, Old Song!"
Fu Daoyi rarely showed a serious look, and Song Xiangdong also dropped his playful demeanor.
"If, and I stress if, I make a copy of the Dao Scripture, can your security bureau ensure that its contents won’t be leaked?"
Ssss...
Upon hearing this, Song Xiangdong couldn’t help but gasp.
Nobody understood the significance of the Dao Scripture to Dragon Tiger Mountain and the entire Daoist Sect better than Song Xiangdong. For Fu Daoyi to say such a thing showed his determination and how much he valued Lin Beichen!
"Are you serious?"
Song Xiangdong said in a serious tone, knowing this matter was no joke. Even if Fu Daoyi had the authority, doing this would certainly cause the elders of Dragon Tiger Mountain to lash out.
"When have I ever joked about such things with you?"
Fu Daoyi said irritably.
Listening to their conversation, Lin Beichen acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, calmly eating his meal. But inside, a storm was raging. If he could get a copy of the Dao Scripture, it would be enough for his enlightenment.
After all, his ability didn’t require seeing the original; he only needed to comprehend the principles within.
Restrain... Restrain!
Lin Beichen kept telling himself, trying hard not to show his excitement. Keeping one’s emotions in check was the basic rule when dealing with these people.
"Alright! I agree."
Song Xiangdong nodded seriously for a change.
Afterward, Fu Daoyi stood up and walked out.
Watching Fu Daoyi’s back, Song Xiangdong, for once, didn’t mock him. Instead, he turned to Lin Beichen and said,
"If he needs help in the future, I hope you will assist him. It’s the first time I’ve seen this kid treat someone like this."
"Don’t worry, I understand."
Lin Beichen nodded.
A moment later, in Fu Daoyi’s room, Song Xiangdong solemnly took the handwritten copy of the Dao Scripture from Fu Daoyi’s hands.
