Two days later...
"It's already been two days. How much longer are we supposed to wait?"
Scar Jason: "Ah... human nature really cannot be trusted." He had just finished saying this with a heartbroken expression when he saw Xian Tian walking over.
Xia Mei: "Little Brother, don't pay attention to a guy like this."
Xian Tian: "Younger Sister, what if he really needs help? Stop talking. If you hadn't made Mom use the Stasis Spell to freeze me at home, not only would I have missed practicing my guitar yesterday and today, but I also would have lost my credibility."
Xia Mei: "Hmph~ Mom was just afraid of you getting scammed!"
"And you're obviously being scammed, yet you still don't believe me. Younger Sister, talk some sense into Little Brother."
Xia Ling: "Little Brother is just stubborn. It's useless even if I talk to him..."
Seeing Xian Tian run over, Xia Mei shouted, "Little Brother..."
After saying something to Scar Jason, Xian Tian was suddenly grabbed by the neck.
Xia Mei: "Oh no, Little Brother is in danger. I'll go save him first. Younger Sister, wait for me here for a second."
Xia Ling: "Sis... go ahead then..."
Xia Mei looked around to make sure no one was there and tore off half of her Dragon Seal: "Xiaoyute — Aura Force Shield Wulabaha!"
The result was watching helplessly as she grabbed Little Brother and just ran off. Didn't you agree to let me wait for you?!
With a helpless look on her face, Xia Ling chased after them in their direction.
Just as Xia Ling was about to turn and leave, she sensed that someone else had been watching everything that had just happened. She turned her head and saw Xiu standing not far away.
Xia Ling thought to herself: Xiu from Dongchenghui? So he had already started taking notice of Xian Tian back then. That must be why he went to Dad's Pub to hold a concert, just to test whether Xian Tian had an ability.
Late afternoon...
Xia Ling, Xia Mei, Xian Tian, Ren Chenwen, Frog Brother, and Xiami went to Ye Siren's Old Butt Pub.
Suddenly, Ren Chenwen spotted a poster for Dongchenghui and shouted excitedly. Upon hearing Ren Chenwen's screaming, Xia Mei kicked him. "Ren Chenwen, what are you howling about again?"
"Meimei Sister, look at the Dongchenghui poster! They're coming to Old Butt Pub to hold a concert!"
Xian Tian put down the work in his hands, walked over, and stared blankly at the Dongchenghui poster. "Dongchenghui?"
"Could Dead Man Commander be tricking us?" Frog Brother and Xiami chimed in.
Xian Tian turned around, ran over to the coffin, and started banging on it. "Dad... wake up, I have something to ask you, stop sleeping..."
Xia Mei: "Little Brother, it looks like we'll have to use Dad's rules to wake him up."
"Yeah, Tian Ge, otherwise we won't be able to ask about Dongchenghui."
"I suppose that's the only way."
Xia Ling: "Perfect, you guys have exactly five people."
Dead Man Commander had given instructions: unless they used the "Five Sons Mourning at the Grave" ritual to wake him up, he wouldn't get out of bed.
Next, Xia Ling witnessed the live spectacle of the Five Sons Mourning at the Grave. She didn't participate, though, and just stood by herself drinking a beverage, quietly watching them call out to Ye Siren. The scene was both hilarious and awkward.
Just then, the coffin slowly rose, and Ye Siren, who had been lying inside, abruptly sat up. "Haha..."
Xian Tian asked anxiously, "Dad, is the Dongchenghui poster real? Or did you print it yourself?"
Ye Siren: "Hey hey hey... what kind of look is that in your eyes? You don't believe me, do you? Yours truly, Dead Man Commander—your old man—is my image really that bad in front of you guys?"
Xia Ling: "Dad, I believe you." She gave Ye Siren an affirming look. ＼(`Δ´)／
Ye Siren: "Younger Sister is still the best. This time it's for real."
Once it was confirmed that Dongchenghui was coming to Old Butt Pub to hold a concert, both Xian Tian and Xia Mei's eyes filled with excitement, and Xia Ling was also somewhat looking forward to the legendary Xiu. In the end, Ye Siren entrusted the heavy responsibility of buying the tickets to Xian Tian.
…………
Returning home, Xia Yu was eating instant noodles at the dining table and checking the stock market. Xiong Ge was just about to come out of the kitchen, but upon hearing the voices of Xian Tian and the others, she retreated back inside. Seeing Xiong Ge do this, Xia Yu wore a speechless expression and muttered, "She drives a truck so much she even shifts into reverse to back up."
Xia Mei: "Bro, is Mother Darling at home?"
Xia Yu pointed a finger toward the kitchen, scaring Xian Tian into quickly putting away the Dongchenghui poster.
Xiong Ge came out and looked at the three of them. "Xian Tian, I have to drive a run to the southeast now! When I get back, I'll find some time to have a good talk with you."
"Be good, I'm leaving."
