Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Hua Jinyan’s Mother
The police officer was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and stretched out his open palm. Tao Ti looked reluctantly at the Rainbow Relic one last time before placing all the relics in his palm.
She turned around, unable to hold back the tears that started to fall from the corners of her eyes!
Tao Ti hastily wiped away her tears and ran off.
“Hey!” the officer couldn’t stop her in time and just saw the little girl sprint to the door where Tao Mo stood and hugged his legs.
Tao Mo felt both heartache and an urge to laugh but managed to hold back his smile. He reached down to pick up the pitiful little one and comforted her lovingly, “When there’s another auction, Grandpa will take you, and you can have whatever you like. Who knows, there might even be a Rainbow Relic.”
Although he knew the possibility was extremely slim—finding a high monk’s relics, each a different color, displaying all shades of a rainbow, was an almost unthinkable phenomenon.
Tao Mo regretted that during the auction in the past, he had focused on bidding for the Sword instead of the Rainbow Relic. If he had secured the Rainbow Relic then, his granddaughter wouldn’t have had to part with it so painfully.
Qin Xin waved to the police officer to signal their departure and said to Tao Mo, “Let’s go.”
With the item returned to its rightful owner, Gu Lanxin was extremely grateful and wanted to invite Little Taotie for a meal, but seeing the little girl in tears, she knew it wasn’t the right moment and decided the little girl should have some time to adjust her emotions instead.
“Is she a Little Star?” Gu Lanxin asked.
The police officer started recommending Little Taotie. He had become an avid fan of hers, so he recommended her whenever he met someone, acting as a very responsible fan dad.
“This video is really good, it’s quite profound, and it looks familiar.”
She remembered her husband had sent her a link, but she was too busy at the time to watch it and had forgotten about it later.
Gu Lanxin found the link, clicked on it, and indeed, it was that video.
“Could I get Tao Ti’s contact information? I’d like to thank her.”
The police chief shook his head, “No, that’s not something we can disclose to you.”
The officer almost agreed but seeing his superior refuse, he kept quiet.
Gu Lanxin wasn’t disappointed and nodded her head.
After submitting her information and presenting receipts from the auction house among other proofs, Gu Lanxin received the Rainbow Monk’s Relic.
Walking out of the police station, Gu Lanxin looked up at the bright sun, the azure sky, and the cloudless expanse, feeling her spirits lift.
She dialed her husband’s number, bubbling with excitement, “I’ve recovered the Rainbow Monk’s Relic. The abbot said that as long as our son carries it, he can leave the Shaolin Temple and roam free, and those things will no longer cling to him!”
“Really found it? You’re not fooling me, are you?”
“Really! If you don’t believe me, come pick me up now, and let’s go to Shaolin Temple together. I want to see our son! I haven’t seen him in so long, I miss him so much!”
“Okay, send me the directions, and I’ll be right there!”
Upon arriving at the Shaolin Temple, they saw a considerably thinner person.
Gu Lanxin’s eyes instantly reddened, and she rushed to embrace her son, “Jinyan, Mom is here to see you! Did you miss me?”
Hua Jinyan was silent and didn’t respond.
“Wuu wuu wuu…” Gu Lanxin began to cry, “Don’t you miss me? You heartless child!”
Hua Jinyan pressed his lips together, showing some helplessness, and patted her back like a little adult, “Stop crying. The brothers are all hiding in the trees watching. They saw you crying.”
Gu Lanxin stopped crying in three seconds, putting on a tough and efficient facade.
Image! Image is too important!
“Son, look what Mom brought for you, you can leave Shaolin Temple now!”
Gu Lanxin brought out a bracelet made of Rainbow Relics, smiling, “Let’s go home with mom!”
Hua Jinyan’s first thought was: Little Taotie, I can come to see you now!
