"Hehe... that's true..." Tao Jing scratched his head sheepishly. Taking the bank card, he still felt like he was in a daze. Were his months of worry really resolved just like that? And had his idol inexplicably become his master?
Am I dreaming? Tao Jing thought.
Suddenly, Xia Liang thumped him on the head.
"Ouch!" Tao Jing cried out, clutching his head. "Master, why did you hit me?"
"I was proving that you aren't dreaming," Xia Liang said with a smile. He had, of course, heard Tao Jing's inner thought.
"Master! Your Mind Reading Technique is truly as legendary as they say! Can you tell me the secret?" Tao Jing became animated whenever magic was mentioned, a complete departure from his usual shy and introverted demeanor.
"Alright, alright. Go take care of your mother's situation first. I'll teach you my skills sooner or later, so what's the rush?"
