Zheng Fa did not expect Lu Yao to seek him out, especially in person.
Indeed, this was his first face-to-face interaction with Lu Yao.
Lu Yao did not come alone; he was accompanied by the Liuli Buddha, Huihong Bodhisattva, and others. Beside him was an exotic beast—resembling both a lion and a tiger, with slightly closed eyes and two large floppy ears resting softly on its head.
Zheng Fa led the group into the secluded courtyard and straight into the back garden.
Lu Yao wore a monk's robe, half old and half new. It was a dull, simple blue. Despite having an unremarkable appearance, looking like an ordinary middle-aged man—someone easily forgotten in a crowd—Zheng Fa found his gaze irresistibly drawn to him. It was not just Zheng Fa; the Liuli Buddha, Huihong Bodhisattva, and others seemed to orbit around Lu Yao, like planets around a star.
Of course, Zheng Fa did not truly believe Lu Yao was ordinary. From the moment Lu Yao visited, he had already started a live broadcast.
