At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

By mid-afternoon, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were hand in hand, strolling down the street when they suddenly noticed the crowd around them was growing.

"It seems like all these people are going to pray, right?"

Gu Yu looked at the various sacrificial offerings in the hands of the people around him, guessing their purpose.

"Then let's go too! I've heard that here in Xiangjiang, they really worship Huang Daxian! He's the God of Wealth and Protecting God!"

Lin Xinyue's eyes lit up, and she pulled Gu Yu forward.

Gu Yu looked at the crowd around him and whispered in Lin Xinyue's ear,

"We are the new socialist youth, isn't praying to the gods a bit superstitious?"

Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes at him, "Oh, since we are here, we should follow local customs! How about we go and draw a fortune stick? It should be the famous Huang Daxian Temple right up ahead."

"I heard that the fortune drawing at Huang Daxian Temple is very effective! Every day, many people come here because of its reputation!"

Gu Yu looked at her helplessly, then reluctantly nodded, "Alright, I just hope we won't have to queue for too long."

He looked around at the increasingly crowded crowd and felt a headache coming on.

The two of them didn't have much time to spend in Xiangjiang, and queuing to pay their respects might take hours.

However, since Lin Xinyue was so excited, he just went along with it.

Glancing at the time, there were three hours left until they had to be back at the port, taking into account an hour's journey, they now had two hours left.

"Hold my hand tight." Gu Yu tiptoed to see over the mass of people, only barely able to make out the entrance of the temple in the distance.

Lin Xinyue looked puzzled, "Huh?"

Before she could react, Gu Yu was already leading the way, picking up pace, moving as swiftly as a marlin slicing through the ocean.

Gu Yu, relying on his strong physical condition and skillful movements, was looking for the most suitable spot to step through the crowd.

Lin Xinyue felt like a rag doll being dragged along by Gu Yu.

Gu Yu moved so fast that in no time she saw the multilayered steps of Huang Daxian Temple's entrance.

There were Xiangjiang Police maintaining order on the steps, allowing only a small group of people to go up at a time to prevent a stampede.

When they reached less than fifty meters from the steps, not even Gu Yu's strength and agility could push through any further.

The elderly people were like practitioners of Qiankun Great Shifting and Tai Chi Bagua Palm, effortlessly pushing him aside.

"Handsome, respect the elders and love the young ones! Let us go first!"

Gu Yu had just moved forward a meter when an old lady suddenly cut in from the right, with a light push of her palm, and Gu Yu found himself behind her.

"Grandma, you must never lose at grabbing food..." Gu Yu muttered helplessly.

"Of course! By your accent, you must be from out of town, right? A handsome guy and a beautiful lady, remember to buy tickets on your phone! You won't stand a chance at the ticket booth!"

"Tickets are only five Xiangjiang Coins, and they even give free incense!"

Seeing that Gu Yu didn't vie for a spot at the front, the old lady nodded in satisfaction.

Noticing that Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were empty-handed and looked like out-of-towners, she kindly reminded them.

"Need tickets? Okay, thank you!"

Gu Yu slapped his forehead; he really didn't know that entry required a ticket, but at only five Xiangjiang Coins, it wasn't too expensive.

He quickly had Lin Xinyue order on the travel app on her phone.
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

The ticket price was also 5, only in Huaxia Coins.

"Wow, even making a profit on the exchange rate!" Gu Yu shook his head smiling, though the exchange rate difference between Xiangjiang Coins and Huaxia Coins wasn't much, these travel apps probably sold thousands of tickets for each site daily.

By that calculation, just the exchange rate difference was quite a profit!

But at this moment, it clearly was better to buy on the app than at the window, as it saved precious time.

"Got them, got them!"

In the crowded area, the mobile network was weak, and after Lin Xinyue clicked to place the order, it took over ten seconds for the payment to go through on her phone.

The app issued two ticket codes, definitely the tickets.

"With these ticket codes, you can collect your free incense at the turnstile!"

The old lady glanced at them and reminded Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue once more.

Gu Yu looked bewildered, "Turnstile? What's that?"

"Turnstile is turnstile! Just you'll see when you get up there!"

The grandmother frowned, this handsome guy really was clueless, not even knowing what a turnstile was?

"Haven't you seen it?" pointed an old man near the top of the steps at the passageway.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Yu finally understood what turnstile meant!

Turnstile! It was a ticket barrier!

At the ticket barriers, four staff members were quickly handing out free incense to the incoming devotees.

Just as Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue entered the path arranged by the police, wondering when it would finally be their turn, a commotion suddenly erupted behind them.

"Master Pan!"

"Taoist Pan!"

"Master Pan!"

"..." Various different titles resounded through the crowd.

Clearly, this person's status was very revered and respected!

Turning to look back, Gu Yu saw a pathway slowly opening in the crowd, revealing an elderly Taoist.

His hair and beard were pure white, his eyes sparkled vividly, and his face was filled with a benevolent smile.
