I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 741: Hawthorn Pills Eating Competition

That afternoon, someone posted online that the Snake Head Bronze Statue might be in the hands of a small sect in the Lighthouse Country.

Lu Zheng and his two companions left the exhibition and contacted Zhao Xiaodao, who had finished filming his scenes for the day and was on his way back to the city.

Zhao Xiaodao: You all left the exhibition? I was planning to go inside to find you and have a look around.

Zhang Weili: Don't do it. When public figures go to public places, they're swarmed by crowds. If you go to the exhibition like that, imagine what the public accounts will say about you.

Zhao Xiaodao: I can wear a mask. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Zhang Weili: Come on, if you get recognized and cause chaos, it will definitely become negative news about you again.

Zhao Xiaodao: (blackface.jpg) Why is it always negative news about me?

Zhang Weili: They'll say you're uneducated and just showing off.

Zhao Xiaodao: (angry.jpg) Sounds like you're cultured!

Zhang Weili: But no one recognizes me.

Zhao Xiaodao: ...

Soon, the three of them spotted Zhao Xiaodao's nanny van at the entrance of Wangfujing.

Wrapped up tightly, Zhao Xiaodao hopped out of the car, stamping his feet without restraint.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but glance inside the car, "What's wrong, is it cold in there? Is the air conditioning broken?"

"No, my feet just went numb from sitting," Zhao Xiaodao awkwardly laughed, then sent his assistant and driver off.

It was not yet dinner time, so the three found a teahouse, requested a private room, and ordered a pot of Tieguanyin tea.

Zhang Weili recounted today's amusing events, and Zhao Xiaodao couldn't help but be shocked, "Wow, Brother Lu got roasted?"

Lin Wan nodded with a smile, "He got a thorough dressing-down by a kid around ten years old."

"Hiss——"

Zhao Xiaodao drew in a sharp breath, thinking the kid was really something!

Moreover...

"Eden Sect? Snake worship? They have the Snake Head Bronze Statue? Why does this plot sound like a movie script?" Zhao Xiaodao looked baffled, "Is there such a sect?"

"There're all kinds of sects, even one for the Flying Spaghetti Monster, with plenty of followers across Eurasia," Lu Zheng said.

"I know about that!" Zhao Xiaodao nodded excitedly, "I heard people chatting about it while filming, it's hilarious."

Lin Wan said, "There are countless religions big and small in the Lighthouse Country. The major ones like the New Sect and Catholicism, and countless small ones, including Tom the Superstar's small religion."

This information Zhao Xiaodao knew, "It's called Scientology, but I only know the name, nothing else."

"Anyway, it's quite a mess, so having such an Eden Sect makes sense," Lin Wan said.

"Can we get the Snake Head Bronze Statue back from them?" Zhao Xiaodao asked.

"Don't know," Lin Wan said, "but since the news is out, maybe some Chinese in the Lighthouse Country will reach out to them."

Zhang Weili asked, "Isn't that thing a sacred object of the Eden Sect?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "Who said that? That person only saw it in a photo. The so-called sacred object is just our guess. And even if it is sacred, so what? As long as the money is enough, even sacred objects can be sold. Otherwise, what do you think these sects were established for, to save the world?"

Zhang Weili understood this too, "It's just for the money."

"So let's wait and see. Once there is definite news, it will surely come back eventually," Lu Zheng said.

Then everyone chatted a bit about Zhao Xiaodao's new TV drama.

"I thought you went back to period dramas, why are you doing a rural-themed drama again?" Lu Zheng asked.

Zhao Xiaodao justified confidently, "As a responsible actor, of course, I need to speak for our brothers in the countryside!"

"Be honest!"

"Following the major trends."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but Lu Zheng nodded because those little flowers with traffic and status comparable to Zhao Xiaodao never touch rural and township themes.

They earn money not in this area, so naturally, they don't make such dramas. Zhao Xiaodao seemed timid, but his reputation was actually better than those few.

Lin Wan smiled, "Pretty good. Will it be broadcast online or on TV this time?"

"Beidu TV Station, it will be simulcast on several platforms online," Zhao Xiaodao said.

"When will it air? I'll contribute to your ratings by then," Zhang Weili said.

"Thank you so much!" Zhao Xiaodao rolled his eyes and then said, "The plan is to wrap in April and air in August."

"So soon?"

Zhao Xiaodao nodded, "It's realistic material, no big scenes, just editing."

"Alright!" Lin Wan smiled, "By then, Lu Zheng and I will contribute to your ratings too."

Zhao Xiaodao beamed, "Thank you, Sister Wan, thank you, Brother Lu!"

Zhang Weili, "..."

...

Having tea, chatting away.

When it was close to dinner time, they headed out, all riding in Zhang Weili's big SUV to Donglaishun, where Zhao Xiaodao had booked a reservation.

Beef, mutton, duck intestines, shrimp paste, tripe, omasum, veggies, mushrooms...

In the private room, everyone was eating and drinking heartily, even Zhao Xiaodao let loose, eating five slices of beef in a row.

Of course, compared to Zhang Weili, she was still a little sister.

"Cheers!"

Two cups of Sprite, two cups of orange juice, downed by the four in one gulp.

"Phew—hic!"

Zhao Xiaodao rubbed her little tummy, exhaled, and then hiccupped.

"This time I really overate..."

Zhang Weili was speechless, "You ate as much as my breakfast."

Zhao Xiaodao was also speechless, "I don't have to train for several hours a day, don't burn that much."

"Are everyone full?" Lu Zheng looked around and smiled, "Would you like some Hawthorn Pills to help digest?"

Zhao Xiaodao's eyes lit up, she knew how good Lu Zheng's goodies were!

Zhang Weili was also curious, "Is this the super sour Hawthorn Pills Brother Lu made himself? Then I have to challenge it."

Lin Wan shook her head on the side decisively, "I'll pass."

Lu Zheng laughed heartily, then rummaged out a small bottle from his clothes. After opening the cap and tilting it into his hand, he poured out two thumb-sized, dark red pills.

"Come, come, each take one, have a competition. Whoever finishes first gets a reward," Lu Zheng extended his hand smiling.

"What reward? Get Sister Wan to be my sparring partner for a month?" Zhang Weili asked while taking a Hawthorn Pill.

Zhao Xiaodao looked at Zhang Weili and then said seriously, "Wei Li, take it seriously. Brother Lu's goodies are really good stuff."

"Huh?"

Zhang Weili was a bit confused, but seeing Zhao Xiaodao's serious expression, she still nodded and then chuckled, "Speaking of competition, I'm a pro!"

Then Zhang Weili and Zhao Xiaodao simultaneously placed the Hawthorn Pills in their mouths.

The next moment, their faces twisted together.

Lin Wan rubbed her forehead, unable to watch, but she still couldn't resist glancing at the two, her mouth unable to keep from turning upwards.
