Ning An's Wild Wish System

Z City, Swan Grand Hotel.

Just like in Y City, this chain hotel is also the largest in Z City.

Yang Anbang got off the plane and was directly escorted to this hotel to rest.

While tidying up his clothes, he couldn’t help asking the person next to him, ”Taozi, that expert you mentioned, is he reliable?”

”Tiezi, you’re my true bro, how could I lie to you?” The man called Taozi seemed anxious and quickly said:

”Rest assured, Tiezi, I’ve already dealt with him, no problem at all!”

”I’m just afraid he knows you and has already prepared in advance.”

Taozi got even more anxious: ”Tie, I didn’t go myself, my two bodyguards went. That guy is really accurate!”

”That’ll do. Even if it doesn’t work out, I can still give my old man back home an explanation.” Yang Anbang finally felt a little more at ease.

The man called Taozi is actually Wang Tao, one of his closest buddies, someone he has known since childhood.

Both of their family backgrounds are similar, their personalities have always been in sync, and they have had a good relationship.

Unlike other families who tend to gather in the Capital City, Wang Tao’s grandfather’s generation moved away and even coined a wise saying:

The Capital City isn’t big, but there are plenty of Wangs. Throw a brick, and you’ll hit a bunch of big shots.

Besides the young generation being sent back to the Capital City by their families to build relationships with other young elites, the rest of the Wang family doesn’t stay in the Capital City.

This might lead to being occasionally out of the loop, but it brings the advantage of being more mobile.

For instance, although every family in the Capital City knows about the Spiritual Qi Revival, they only dare to secretly leverage connections to find so-called high masters, avoiding any high-pressure lines.

Meanwhile, in Z City, the Wang family is a top-tier existence, even in the surrounding areas!

Even if they never cross the high-pressure line, compared to the restrained prominent families, they have many more methods at their disposal.

Even when families worldwide find so-called high masters, verifying their authenticity is a challenge. This is not the case for the Wang family, who know the local scene and can discern who’s genuine.

Moreover, if someone tries to sneak by, isn’t it courting disaster once things get exposed?

The powers in the Capital City may have a hard time reaching far, but the Wang family is local. Offend them, and good luck to any of your monk relatives trying to make it here!

Yang Anbang didn’t bring much luggage. Even if he didn’t, clothes would be delivered directly to him by special staff.

Among his luggage, the most important item was a small bag of corn, which is why he insisted on handling his luggage himself, refusing to let anyone else touch it.

Because this stuff is truly invaluable!

Seeing the corn, Wang Tao suddenly grinned mischievously, ”Tiezi, how about it? After eating this stuff, don’t you feel more enduring, waking up in the morning as hard as iron!”

”What nonsense? You still have such an indecent mouth.”

Despite his words, Yang Anbang couldn’t help but chuckle slyly.

No kidding, this Spiritual Energy Corn is indeed a great thing. After eating it a few times, he obviously felt much stronger physically, and even his prior issues of premature weakness have improved considerably, including a lessening of back stiffness.

”Ding!”

Just then, the phone in the suite rang. Wang Tao reached for it and answered, ”Hello, hmm, the expert has arrived? Okay, we’ll be right down.”

”Speak of the devil. They really have something genuine.” Wang Tao couldn’t help but sigh.

”Yeah, right.” Yang Anbang couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He had just put the corn in the safe when Wang Tao dragged him downstairs.

...

The first floor of the Swan Grand Hotel is divided into different areas, with the most commonly used being the small semi-private zones.

As soon as Yang Anbang and his friend arrived, they were immediately drawn to the person before them.

This individual didn’t look old, probably in his forties, sporting simple loose sportswear and Anta sneakers. At first glance, he seemed like a handsome middle-aged man trying to look cool.

But looking upward, the impression changed: each of his facial features was attractive on its own, but the spacing was broader than usual. Though not very old, his head was bald, creating an indescribable awkward feeling when combined.

This was the first impression, but when Yang Anbang looked a bit longer, he found the person’s demeanor dignified and respectable.

”This is Lu Taiyi, and this is my childhood buddy.”

Sitting across from Lu Taiyi, Wang Tao didn’t mention Yang Anbang’s name but introduced them briefly before ordering a pot of tea and instructing the staff not to let anyone in without his signal.

Aiming to probe the person before him, Yang Anbang lifted his teacup, smiling, ”Master Lu, you should be from the Buddhist Sect, right?”

”I’m not worthy of being called a master; at most, I’m a Buddhist devotee.” Lu Taiyi chuckled.

”I’ve often heard Taozi talk about you, and my curiosity got the better of me. If I may ask, Master, what are your specialties?” Yang Anbang directly broached the topic.

”I have some knowledge in various areas, but I’d need to know which aspect you’re interested in.” Lu Taiyi also lifted his teacup, smiling back.

”I’ve heard that practitioners often have a knack for reading a person’s fate. Can you take a look for me?”

”Hehe.”

Lu Taiyi raised his eyes calmly, ”The ultimate goal of our Buddhist disciples’ practice is to attain supreme enlightenment. If one doesn’t follow the teachings and instead engages in spells, divinations, and other demonic practices, they’re pushing themselves toward the path of demagoguery.”
