143: Lin Pei is trending on social media again.
However, soon the car passed through a residential area and drove into the mountains.
The two followers were full of confusion.
Is this beauty staying in a mountain ravine??
But what kind of beauty would live in the mountains.
Not long after, the car stopped at the foot of the mountain. Lin Pei got out of the car and started climbing up.
The two paparazzi, not understanding what was happening, followed them up in a daze.
They muttered while climbing.
Young people in the entertainment industry nowadays are getting wilder; they are actually dating on a mountain.
Damn it, it makes it hard for them as paparazzi to snap anything without having to climb a mountain first.
In the middle of the night, that Big Brother Lin was fully equipped, dressed warmly and windproof.
They were completely unprepared; one gust of cold wind and they were suffering.
But since they had come this far, they had to keep following.
After all, only by capturing what their employer wanted could they receive the remaining half of the high payment.
Following Lin Pei from a distance, after a difficult climb of about an hour, they spotted two more figures next to Lin Pei by the light of his flashlight.
The two gasped and covered their mouths.
Holy crap, two? They are indeed playing wild games.
Just as the Paparazzo raised his camera to take a picture, two bright lights suddenly appeared in the lens, almost blinding their Paparazzi Eyes.
He couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
“Damn, these two bald heads, they almost blinded me.”
“What’s the meaning of this? Are these nuns from the mountain?”
“I didn’t expect Brother Lin’s date wasn’t a Female Celebrity or a young internet celebrity, but… a Buddhist Nun?”
The Long-Haired Man raised his hand and smacked the back of the Paparazzo’s head.
“What nun? Look at that physique, that’s clearly a man.”
The Paparazzo was stunned by the hit.
“Huh? Is his taste that heavy?”
The Long-Haired Man shook his head helplessly, indicating his companion’s brain was fried.
“Look at the building ahead, what does it say on it?”
The Paparazzo looked confused.
“Brother, it’s pitch black, I can’t see clearly.”
The Long-Haired Man said.
“Look boldly! Aren’t there two big lights shining ahead?”
The Paparazzo looked ahead carefully and miraculously managed to see clearly.
Above the main gate of the building ahead was a Plaque inscribed with the three large characters: “Shaolin Temple”.
What?? How did they get to the Shaolin Temple??
So the two people next to Lin Pei were Monks from the Shaolin Temple?
Just as they were shocked, the gate of the Shaolin Temple opened, and countless bright lights instantly shot out from inside.
A group of cheerful Little Monks ran out.
“Greetings, Ancestor Master.”
“Where is our Chocolate?”
The two paparazzi were completely dumbfounded.
What? Lin Pei is one of the Shaolin people? And his seniority is that high!
After all that, they were staking out the Ancestor Master of the Shaolin Temple for a month?
... After shivering in the cold wind for a while, the two finally convinced themselves.
Forget it, even if it’s not a scandal, this counts as big news.
At the very least, he lied about his age—lied about it by several decades—which is considered quite egregious in the entertainment industry, right?
Up ahead, Restraint of Arrogance and Monk noticed the movement behind them and asked Lin Pei.
“Master, you brought people with you?”
Lin Pei turned around and looked.
“Oh, a chance encounter.”
“These two have been climbing behind me the whole time; they must be Night-Climbing Enthusiasts.”
Even though Lin Pei’s voice was low, the paparazzi's exceptionally trained hearing caught every word clearly.
The two finally broke down at this moment.
Damn it.
They knew about them earlier but didn't say anything.
They were so worried that they didn't dare make any noise or turn on their flashlights.
They had been relying on the light emitted by Lin Pei's flashlight ahead all the way here, and their knees were practically worn smooth from crawling.
Hmph!
How hateful!
Expose him! They must expose him!
...Lin Pei was ushered inside, surrounded by a group of Little Monks.
He asked Monk curiously.
“Are they not sleeping or have they already woken up?”
“What kind of schedule does the Shaolin Temple keep?”
Monk sighed.
“Master, the Shaolin Temple’s schedule isn't usually like this.”
“They couldn't sleep because they were craving your Chocolates.”
They were that eager?
Lin Pei immediately put down the huge hiking backpack and handed it to a Little Monk.
“Here, distribute it.”
The Little Monks cheered.
“Yay, Ancestor Master is the best!”
Lin Pei smiled faintly.
“Greedy things.”
Back when they were filming shaolin soccer, Restraint of Arrogance and Monk had already introduced him to the Little Monks via WeChat Video.
Later, the two Monks often had them interact briefly, and they gradually became familiar.
A few days ago, looking at the pile of empty Chocolate boxes, he suddenly thought of these little guys.
He wanted to mail a package to the Shaolin Temple, but the Courier Service refused orders to the mountain area.
In frustration, he contacted Restraint of Arrogance and Monk, asking them to be ready to open the door anytime, and he carried the Chocolates to the Shaolin Temple overnight.
Of course, the Little Monks’ joy didn't last long.
Because before leaving, Lin Pei was reminded by Restraint of Arrogance to give each Little Monk a kick to help their training progress faster.
The Little Monks’ eyes welled up with tears.
“Usually, people give a sweet date after a slap, but Ancestor Master gives a sweet date first and then a slap.”
“Ancestor Master, we still prefer the bitter taste first, then the sweet.”
Lin Pei nodded.
“Alright, I’ll get the order right next time.”
Upon hearing there would be a next time, the Little Monks stopped bothering him with gifts and instantly scattered without a trace... A few hours later, Lin Pei made headlines again and again.
When Wang Feng heard his Assistant say Lin Pei was trending, he was instantly delighted.
Lin Pei’s private life really couldn't stand up to scrutiny; news had finally broken after so many days.
He poured himself a glass of Whiskey and opened his phone, preparing to thoroughly enjoy Lin Pei’s scandalous trending topic.
He clicked into the news platform and found the top headline was indeed about Lin Pei.
#Lin Pei Returns to Shaolin Late at Night, Little Monks Call Him Martial Ancestor in Unison.#
?????
Shaolin? Martial Ancestor?
Wang Feng was immediately confused.
What kind of scandal is this?
The accompanying pictures were of a group of older and younger Monks; what was there to photograph?
Was this the news he wanted??
Taking a sip of alcohol, he finally understood the paparazzi’s intention: were they trying to expose Lin Pei’s real age?
After all, how could someone who isn't decades old be called an Ancestor Master at the Shaolin Temple?
He eagerly clicked to see everyone's comments, where people were fiercely debating.
“Brother Lin goes to the Shaolin Temple late at night and immediately trends; what kind of Trending Physique is this?”
“Martial Ancestor? Brother Lin must be a hundred years old for the Little Monks to call him that. But look at his appearance, his physique, his energy; we young people are ashamed in comparison.”
“Right? This looks much more natural than those High-Tech Beauty Treatments? Let’s group up and @ Brother Lin, asking him to share his anti-aging methods.”
“Brother Lin’s cultivation methods are probably beyond our reach. It’s more reliable to beg him to give us a kick with Mighty Vajra Foot.”
“No way? These paparazzi followed him to Shaolin, didn’t they think Brother Lin was going to a remote mountain area for a date?”
“Hahaha, following him up a mountain half the night only to snap nothing—anyone would break down.”
“Exactly, the paparazzi were wrong to stake out Brother Lin. I heard they staked him out for a month, and this was the only time he traveled far, and he ended up going to the Shaolin Temple, hahaha.”
“Fans of Brother Lin are lucky; an idol like this is guaranteed not to have their Reputation Collapse.”
“...”
