Lunch just finished at noon.
Chen Yun first greeted Wang Siyan and Yu Lüibi, and then returned to the house to get clothes.
He was preparing to go to the women's handicraft workshop.
Suddenly, a bright light filled the surroundings.
A beam of red light shone in through the window and door.
Wherever it reached, everything was illuminated, yet not blinding.
"Mm?" Chen Yun was startled, "What's going on?"
He hurried to the door to see, almost scared out of his wits.
The sky was filled with a boundless, misty brilliance.
A "star" was plummeting towards the Taoist temple at great speed!
This "star" shone with intense light, and at first glance it was unclear how many miles away it was.
Even if it is not a real star, it must be a planet!
As someone who has traveled from modern society, Chen Yun knows how the dinosaurs became extinct.
According to the prediction of scientists, about 66 million years ago, an asteroid with a diameter of 10 kilometers collided with the Earth. The terrifying impact wave swept across the globe and triggered large-scale volcanic eruptions, rising sea levels, and climate change. As a result, the ecosystem was destroyed and then dinosaurs went extinct.
Imagine that the collision of a 10-kilometer asteroid with the Earth could cause such catastrophic destruction. Now, consider that the "star" in the sky has a diameter of tens of thousands of miles. If it were to actually collide, wouldn't it bring about the destruction of the entire world?
Chen Yun was really about to wet his pants.
The amazing thing was that after colliding with the Taoist temple, the "star" caused no damage at all!
In less than a blink of an eye, the light dispersed and vanished.
"Mm?" Chen Yun was puzzled, "What's going on?"
He thought he had mistakenly seen something.
Chen Yun pondered for a moment but couldn't figure out what had happened.
Thinking about Wang Siyan and Yu Lüibi giving up their rest time to wait for him to send the clothes for modification, Chen Yun decided not to dwell on it anymore.
He walked all the way to the women's handicraft workshop.
...
Women's Handicraft Workshop.
This is the place where women do needlework.
It includes activities such as knitting, sewing, embroidery, patchwork, and appliqué.
As soon as Chen Yun stepped across the threshold, he saw Wang Siyan and Yu Lüibi sitting inside chatting about something.
He greeted them, "Brother Wang, Brother Yu."
Wang Siyan nodded slightly in response, "Brother Chen."
She seemed to be taciturn, or maybe she was more reserved. In any case, for the time being, she didn't seem to be saying much.
"Brother Chen, have you come?" Yu Lüibi was quite straightforward. She said, "First, give me the clothes. Later, I will change a set for you to wear for two days first, and the rest will be picked up in two days."
Chen Yun placed the several sets of inner and outer clothes in front of the sewing table and said, "I'm really sorry for disturbing both of you from your rest during lunchtime."
"Take off your clothes," Yu Lüibi instructed, then added with a smile, "If it were anyone else, we wouldn't be busy in the middle of the day. But for you, Brother Chen, we definitely will take care of you."
Chen Yun naturally knew why.
He had made some soap a while ago and given each of them a bar.
That's the way it is with people, isn't it?
Of course, Yu Lüibi and Wang Siyan accepted his favor and were willing to take time off their rest to help change the clothes.
While others may accept a favor, Chen Yun did not take it for granted.
He bowed and said, "I am truly grateful for the kindness shown to me by Brother Yu and Brother Wang."
"We are brothers, Brother Chen, you don't need to be so polite," Yu Lüibi said while looking sideways at the side, "Thought: First, measure Brother Chen's dimensions for you."
The generally uncommunicative Wang Siyan gave a "hm" sound.
She picked up a measuring tape and stood up at once.
A fragrant breeze swept by.
Chen Yun took a look at Wang Siyan and noticed that she had a face shaped like a melon seed, with rosy cheeks. Whether it was due to makeup or natural beauty, she was indeed very beautiful.
He has been growing rapidly recently, and he is afraid that if he got close to a woman, he might repeat the mistake with Jin Caotian, who walked away in embarrassment.
Seeing Wang Siyan approaching.
Chen Yun hurried to wave his hand and say, "I measured my height this morning, five feet three inches."
Wang Siyan stepped forward and said, "Brother Chen, just knowing your height is not enough. I also need to measure your upper body, chest, back, shoulders, arms, and waist."
Alright.
Chen Yun had no choice but to stand straight, allowing the other person to measure.
Wang Siyan held the measuring tape and started measuring while reporting the numbers, letting Yu Lüibi record them down.
Initially, measuring the height and shoulders were fine.
However, when it came to measuring the chest and back, Wang Siyan had to get closer.
That's it, Chen Yun could already feel the heat of Wang Siyan's breath.
He was suddenly very nervous and tense, fearing he might do something awkward.
Accompanying this was a stiffness in his body.
As soon as Wang Siyan's hand touched Chen Yun's body, she immediately noticed it.
She blinked and said, "Brother Chen, relax. This way I can't measure properly."
"Oh."
Chen Yun nodded in response, still feeling very tense.
Wang Siyan naturally knew why Chen Yun was so tense.
She made a joke to ease the atmosphere, "You're so tense because you're not used to being around girls, right? Well, the other brothers and disciples were like that at first too. But after getting to know each other, they become clumsy and always want to take advantage of me and Lüibi. I hope you won't be like them and end up acting like a fox."
Chen Yun coughed and asked, "The other brothers want to take advantage of you? Then, how did you deal with it?"
Yu Lüibi suddenly interjected, "Hmph, how can I put up with them? Of course I'll mete out severe punishment! Just wait and see how I'll get them to yell in pain with my needles."
Hahaha!
Chen Yun was amused by this.
I didn't realize these two girls were so cute.
Perhaps due to this bit of laughter, he relaxed a little.
Not long ago, only the sleeves were left to measure.
Wang Siyan grabbed Chen Yun's hand, straightened it, and then measured the length of his arm with a ruler.
A soft, warm sensation came through, and Chen Yun instinctively squeezed.
He wasn't intentional, but because he had never been in contact with women before, his body had a natural reaction when he suddenly felt a girl's hand grabbing him. It wasn't that he really wanted to squeeze her, but it was just an instinctive response.
She blushed instantly.
She turned her head and looked at Yú Lǜpíng, who was lowering her head, and whispered in a low voice, "I'm going to die. Just now you were praising her for being obedient, but now you're not being good?" She threatened with a needle.
Chen Yun sweat a little and quickly stopped moving, not daring to move anymore.
Wang Siyan didn't say anything else. She just finished measuring the size of the clothes and turned around to return to the sewing table.
Perhaps the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so Chen Yun changed the topic and asked, "Did you see the red light filling the sky just now?"
Yu Lüibi didn't even raise her head, "I saw it. Every time the Ancestor's Yang spirit returns from the realm of immortality, it causes such a phenomenon. At first, we were very surprised, but after seeing it many times, we got used to it."
Oh, it's actually Zhongli Quan's Yang spirit returning from the realm of immortality.
Chen Yun suddenly remembered that Wang Laozhi had told him before that the Yang spirit of a Daoist True Master shining forth was as bright as the blazing sun in June.
No wonder it caused such celestial anomalies.
It's actually Zhongli Quan's Yang spirit.
Thinking about it, his mind became active.
Thinking of this, he became more alert. Since Zhongli Quan had returned from the realm of immortality, did he have a chance to perform exceptionally well and show his "potential" to be taken under the roof of the Taoist sect?
But not necessarily being able to become his disciple.
Even if he could become a disciple of Wang Zixi or Cai Rujin, that would be good enough.
As long as he could learn the art of longevity, that would suffice.
Of course, Chen Yun knew that if he wanted to learn the art of immortality, he would have to get Zhongli Quan's approval, otherwise it was impossible.
He sat there, lost in thought, and chatted with Yu Lüibi and Wang Siyan incoherently for a while.
It must have been about half an hour.
Yu Lüibi handed over the modified clothes to him and said, "Brother Chen, this clothes have been changed, you can wear it for two days first. Because your height is growing fast, we need to make you some new clothes, it should take about three or four days."
"Thank you, Brother Yu," Chen Yun took the clothes and put them on. Then he volunteered, "I've been practicing spiritual refinement lately, and my height might continue to grow rapidly in the near future. I trouble you both to make my clothes a bit larger and looser, thank you."
"Alright, I know," Yu Lüibi nodded.
Chen Yun only then bowed and bid farewell, "Brother Yu, Brother Wang, I'll head back first."
Yu Lüibi nodded while busy with her work, "Take your time."
In contrast, Wang Siyan spoke softly, "Brother Chen, if the clothes don't fit, you can always send them to the Women's Handicraft Workshop. We will try our best to make them suitable for you as soon as possible."
Chen Yun thanked them again and then turned and left the Women's Handicraft Workshop.
Upon exiting, he looked in the direction of the red building on the third floor of the inner courtyard, where Zhongli Quan resided.
Chen Yun's eyes were filled with desire, yearning for Zhongli Quan's recognition and the true secrets of immortality.
