Chapter 24: [Hearing Shield]

Chen Hao and Tian Wenjing accepted the mission.

They didn't go immediately.

Tian Wenjing said to Chen Hao: "I just exchanged for cultivation resources."

"I need to go and solidify my realm."

"After that's done, we'll set off; that way we'll be more certain."

"Alright."

The next few days.

Every day, aside from cultivation, Chen Hao would go to check on Tian Wenjing's situation.

After she entered the seclusion room, she never came out.

"Master, that guy is calling again."

Chen Hao picked it up and saw it was his grandfather, Chen Qiang, calling.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"You ask what's wrong?"

"You stinky brat, how long has it been since you came home?"

"Grandpa, I've been busy!"

"Busy? What's there to be so busy about?"

"An esper came today, hurry back."

"Alright."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Chen Hao's eyes lit up.

He hadn't received an esper order for a long time.

Chen Hao glanced at the seclusion room, then turned and left.

... "Done!"

He hadn't applied makeup to a "person" for a long time.

Looking at his masterpiece, Chen Hao nodded with great satisfaction.

As the corpse slowly entered the incinerator.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations to the host, corpse collection successful!"

"Obtained E-rank ability—[Hearing Shield]!"

Chen Hao: ...I thought I would get some good ability.

I didn't expect it to be an E-rank ability, and a trash ability like [Hearing Shield] at that.

Originally, Chen Hao could use [Eye of Truth] to see through the abilities possessed by the corpse.

But he didn't do that.

Because he liked the system prompt that rang out when a corpse was sent into the incinerator; it felt like opening a blind box.

"Although this thing is trash, I wonder what the effect is after using it?"

Out of curiosity, Chen Hao decided to try this ability.

He directly used [Hearing Shield].

With the use of the [Hearing Shield] ability.

Chen Hao discovered that the surroundings became quiet, like deathly silence.

The fire in the incinerator was burning.

Originally, there was a whooshing sound.

But now, Chen Hao couldn't hear it at all.

"Is this the world of a deaf person?"

"It really is quiet!"

Suddenly, a hand patted Chen Hao on the shoulder.

Chen Hao turned his head to look and discovered it was his grandfather, Chen Qiang, standing behind him.

Chen Qiang's mouth kept opening and closing, but Chen Hao couldn't hear a sound.

"Oh, I forgot to turn off [Hearing Shield]."

After Chen Hao turned off [Hearing Shield].

He discovered that the surroundings became noisy, and his grandfather was chattering away.

"Little Hao."

"What's wrong, Grandpa?"

Chen Qiang felt speechless.

"Hurry and find an urn to put the ashes in for them."

"The guests are getting impatient."

"Oh, oh, alright!"

Chen Hao took the urn and began to fill it.

After sending the guests away.

Chen Qiang said to Chen Hao: "Little Hao, don't leave tonight."

"Your Grandpa Gu is coming over as a guest."

"Alright."

Today, Chen Qiang took Chen Hao home early.

The two went to the supermarket and bought a pile of vegetables.

Hearing that Grandpa Gu was coming as a guest, Chen Hao cooked himself.

In the evening.

Chen Hao was stir-frying dishes in the kitchen in full swing.

Outside came the voice of Gu Juji.

Chen Hao walked out and discovered that Gu Juji had arrived.

Coming along with him was Gu Yue.

Seeing Chen Hao wearing an apron and holding a spatula, Gu Yue smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to know how to cook?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao smiled slightly.

"There's still a lot you don't know."

"Alright, don't just stand there, go wash your hands; once I finish stir-frying this dish, we can eat immediately."

"Alright."

Before long.

Chen Hao's dishes were out of the pan.

Gu Yue walked in at this moment.

She said: "You take the dishes out, I'll get the bowls and chopsticks."

"Hmm."

After everything was ready, the two families sat together to eat.

Gu Juji and Chen Qiang started drinking.

While drinking, they chatted.

Gu Yue started chatting with Chen Hao.

"Chen Hao, thanks to you for the matter at the Heaven Welfare Institute."

Listening to Gu Yue's words, Chen Hao was completely confused.

"What's the situation? How does this little girl know?"

"Are you thinking in your heart, how did I know?"

"Actually, all of this is thanks to Sister Wenjing."

"Tian Wenjing!"

"Yes, Sister Wenjing told me everything."

"Chen Hao, thank you! If it weren't for you, I would still be in the dark."

"And those children wouldn't have been saved."

Chen Hao discovered that Gu Yue was a bit different.

She seemed to have walked out of the shadow of killing.

"There are too many bad people in this world; they hide in the dark like demons."

"Harmfully hurting those innocent people."

"Since heaven allowed me to awaken my ability, I will use this ability to punish evil and promote good."

Hearing Gu Yue's words, Chen Hao nodded.

She had found her own path.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

The two clinked glasses and drank the happy water in their cups in one gulp.

After eating.

Gu Yue supported the drunken Gu Juji and prepared to leave.

"You don't need to see us off."

"I'll drive my grandfather back myself."

"Alright, then be careful on the way."

"Send me a message when you get home."

"Alright."

Gu Yue left.

Chen Qiang watched the car shadow as they went away and said to Chen Hao: "Little Hao, Gu Yue is a good girl, I hope you cherish her well."

"Hmm."

Chen Hao didn't go to argue with his grandfather.

After Chen Qiang finished speaking, he went upstairs.

"Chen Hao!"

Hearing the voice, Chen Hao turned his head and discovered it was Tian Wenjing.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?"

Tian Wenjing leaned against a large tree.

She looked at Chen Hao with a teasing gaze and couldn't help but say: "You're quite something."

"To actually hook up with such a beautiful girl."

"When do you plan to get married?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao rolled his eyes at Tian Wenjing.

"Get married, get married to what?"

"I, Chen Hao, am a person who wants a whole forest; how could I let a small tree affect my great cause?"

Listening to Chen Hao's shameless words.

For some reason, Tian Wenjing felt her heart was sweet.
