''That's why we should mind our own business,'' scolded Fu Yao. Xie Lian sweat dropped beside Yung Chao. ''You helped them but they bite the hand that feeds them, so typical of you.'' Yung Chao leaned beside Xie Lian's ear and whispered, ''I think it was very gentlemanly of you, Your Highness. Helping that girl back then.'' Xie Lian blushed slightly and looked away to not embarrass himself. ''I-I did nothing. It was nothing, really.'' Yung Chao smiled a little watching him cower away. The teashop man slammed his hand down, ''alright, the bill is settled. You're free to go!''
''Thanks. Question, do you know where is the nearest General Ming Guang temple?'' asked Xie Lian. ''Ming Guang? We don't have one here.'' Yung Chao was very surprised and moved closer to the man, ''you don't? How is that possible?'' ''However, we have a Nan Yang Temple. Only 5 miles from here. Just turn right after you get out from the city gates.'' Yung Chao and Xie Lian nodded and thanked him and left.

It would be a lie if Yung Chao said he didn't judge his college's temple a little bit. This temple was really dark, creepy and unclean. Even the food offerings on the altar haven't been changed.
Everyone in heaven knew how demanding General Qi Yin was about his temples and shrines. His worshippers cleaned his temples to the very last dust at least 4 times in a week.

''That's weird,'' wondered Xie Lian out loud. ''It is General Ming Guang who oversees North in the mortal realm, but only Nan Yang temples are here.'' Yung Chao looked around a little with a bored and disgusted look on his face. He saw a big Nan Yang statue which made his jaw drop. 'WHO IS RESPONSIBLE OF THIS TEMPLE?'

Xie Lian turned to Nan Feng, ''thought Nan Yang is in charge of the Southeast he still got so many believers in the North.'' Yung Chao walked to Fu Yao to look at the dusty food on the altar. ''That's true. He is beloved by all,'' Fu Yao smirked.
''I have a question , but I don't know...'' Nan Feng turned away, ''if you don't know whether to ask or not. Then don't.'' Xie Lian smiled awkwardly. ''Actually, I was about to say, I don't know who I should ask.'' Yung Chao turned around to warn him, ''Your Highness-'' he was cut off by Fu Yao who put his arm around his shoulders and smirked mischievously,

''Is it about the naming of the Nan Yang Temple?'' ''The naming?'' The Prince wondered. ''Shut it!''
Fu Yao pulled Chao closer to him for which the god rolled his eyes. ''Long, long time ago, General Nan Yang was called Duke Yang. However a careless king had duke misspelled, with i instead of u. Hence, all Duke Yang temples changed their names into Dick Yang Temples. Words traveled fast,'' he laughed. ''The spelling was already corrected!'' yelled Nan Feng. ''So what! Up until now, aren't Nan Yang Temple frequent visitors still women? They would always plush when making wishes.'' Yung Chao could feel a big fight coming and quickly freed himself of Fu Yao's crip and walked over to Xie Lian.

''Don't be an asshole! Go sweep the floor if you have nothing better to do!'' The atmosphere changed dramatically. ''Don't.you.dare.'' Fu Yao sent him an angry look. ''Haven't your General served tea to his highness? Swept his floor and made his bed?'' Yung Chao didn't understand anything they were referring to but he knew these words were impactful, for the three other men who remembered.
