Chapter 560: Chapter 356. Gathering (4000 words)

Under the watchful eyes of Beichuan Si, Hetian Wu finally revealed a hint of hesitation.

If the reason was spoken, the Mr. Beidao of Beidao Temple before her might just join the Church of Truth and Happiness.

Hetian Wu raised her eyes and glanced at Magong Tong.

The other was lowering her head, occasionally stealing glances at Beidao Temple.

If Beidao Temple joined them... perhaps they could indeed pull Magong Tong into the Happiness Truth Sect.

That would be a great achievement! If we talk about contributions, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to be promoted to a core member.

After all, the Magong Family’s businesses were very famous within the city... and Magong Tong was the lawful heir to the Magong Family.

If Magong Tong joined the Happiness Truth Sect...

That wouldn’t be something comparable to merely recruiting one or two people.

Hetian Wu fell silent for a moment, her face then breaking into a smile, "Since Mr. Beidao has spoken like this, if I still refuse, it indeed seems a bit inappropriate. After all, you are a friend of Magong, and presumably trustworthy."

Having said this, Hetian Wu drank a gulp of water, then lifted her head and spoke words that Beichuan Si did not expect:

"Does Mr. Beidao know about the ’Beichuan Divine Society’?"

Beichuan Divine Society? Why did Hetian Wu suddenly bring it up?

Beichuan Si pondered internally, but his expression remained impassive.

He shook his head calmly, and feigning curiosity, he asked, "I’ve heard of it, but why bring up the Beichuan Divine Society here? Is there any connection with this organization?"

"Hehe... The Beichuan Divine Society could also be considered a member of Tokyo Church groups, and a fairly famous one at that."

Hetian Wu smiled and waved her hand, "However, the Beichuan Divine Society organization can’t compare to our Happiness Truth Sect, because fundamentally speaking, the Beichuan Divine Society is a false scam."

This statement made Beichuan Si raise an eyebrow; he had never expected that one day he would be evaluated by someone in such a way.

Beichuan Si didn’t speak, merely gestured with his hand for Hetian Wu to continue.

Hetian Wu didn’t mind, continuing, "Mr. Beidao might find it strange why I mention the Beichuan Divine Society here." She smiled, then proceeded, "This is because the ’Sect Hierarch’s miracles’ always promoted by the Beichuan Divine Society are not worth mentioning when compared to the miracles we see in the Happiness Truth Sect."

Hetian Wu said proudly, "By bringing up the Beichuan Divine Society, I merely want to give Mr. Beidao a clearer picture of our situation."

Her tone carried a hint of disdain, "The Beichuan Divine Society, where even the Hierarch has never appeared in front of its followers, what kind of miracles could there be? Compared to our Church of Truth and Happiness, it’s nothing. Such a sect will soon become a subsidiary of our Church of Truth and Happiness."

Hetian Wu grew more excited as she spoke, "Speaking of which, what exactly is that Beichuan God? Could it be that the Beichuan Divine Society doesn’t even have a Sect Hierarch? Maybe that Beichuan God is just a tale they made up?"

Beichuan God?

Magong Tong tilted her head in confusion, then looked towards Beichuan Si.

Why did it feel like this Beichuan God... had something to do with Beichuan Si?

However, since Beichuan Si showed no expression, Magong Tong could only look at him a couple of times more, then lowered her head again.

As Beichuan Si listened to Hetian Wu ramble on about the so-called ’bad things’ about his ’Beichuan God,’ he finally heard her get to the point, "I have witnessed real miracles. Right within the Church of Truth and Happiness, I have seen miracles!"

Miracles...?

What exactly did these miracles refer to?

Could it be that within the Happiness Truth Sect there were individuals with abilities beyond ordinary humans?

Beichuan Si’s expression shifted slightly.

But before Beichuan had a chance to ask, Hetian Wu already spoke up, "As for the content of the miracles... If Mr. Beidao is willing to join our Church of Truth and Happiness, tonight I can take you to witness them."

She tossed the topic back to Beichuan Si, meaning she could only say so much; to know the secrets of the Happiness Truth Sect, one must join.

In that case—

"Miss Hetian has invited me sincerely, and continuing to refuse would also be rather inappropriate. I can join the Church of Truth and Happiness; I also hope Miss Hetian can introduce me."

Beichuan Si extended his hand and shook hands with Hetian Wu.

Then, he turned his head, nodded to Magong Tong, and signaled her not to worry.

"Mr. Beidao... oh no, now I should call you Brother Beidao, since we are now both devs of the Church of Truth and Happiness," Hetian Wu smiled and clapped her hands, "Please wait for me a moment, I will go change my clothes, then I will take you to attend the Church of Truth and Happiness meeting... oh, and before that, Mr. Beidao, perhaps you should buy a mask."

"Buy a mask?" Beichuan Si turned his head.

"Yes, the Church of Truth and Happiness values privacy protection very highly. Our personal information is strictly guarded. Also, since the followers attending the gatherings are only dedicated to the doctrine of ’happiness’ and do not interact with others as closely as in other churches, everyone wears a mask when attending gatherings. I even unconsciously change my voice when I attend gatherings."

"I see," Beichuan Si supported his chin with his hand.

Isn’t this just like a masquerade ball?

And they emphasize privacy protection?

Beichuan Si did not believe that the other party would have such a humanitarian reason.

The reason for wearing masks during gatherings was probably to deploy their own people into the venue, blending into the crowd to monitor any suspicious individuals.
