This is the necessary route to Silard Village.

Just in time for the last bustling temple fair of the year, the small town was crowded with vendors and pedestrians.

The car was struggling to make its way through the crowd, and the honking irritated the pedestrians.

“Don’t honk.” Madon Linggo instructed the driver.

The driver was one of his henchmen, a recent college graduate named Jimmy Lewis, who was a bit brash in his actions.

...

Lidya Linggo in the passenger seat pointed at a roundabout ahead and said, “Turn right in front.”

Peter Aria partially lowered the car window and saw a candy seller skillfully crafting lifelike candy figures with his tools.

Around him was a group of giggling and noisy children, their surroundings filled with the lively atmosphere of the earthly world.

Suddenly, Peter Aria’s gaze froze.

“Stop the car.”

Already on edge, the driver, hearing Peter’s words, immediately hit the brakes.

Before the car had fully stopped, Peter Aria had already hurriedly pushed open the door and stepped out.

He walked straight to the candy seller and picked up a candy figure that was stuck on a tool.

It was the figure of a young lady, her hands together in prayer, eyes slightly lowered, her ribbon flapping in the wind, and her skirt flowing.

Looking at the young lady’s eyes again, there was a hint of compassion in her purity, as if she were a Bodhisattva stepping out of a painting, inspiring awe in those who saw her.

The master craftsman really had a knack for capturing the nuances, making the girl’s expression vivid and lively.

A group of village children stared in amazement at the tall man who had suddenly appeared.

His mature and elegant manner was something these village children had never seen before.

They were momentarily stunned.

His handsome face was far better looking than any star on TV.

The man making the candy figures was in his fifties, his temples were gray, and his wrinkles were filled with signs of age and hardship.

He looked at the man in front of him in surprise and saw him staring at the candy figure in his hands.

He laughingly said, “You must be from the big city, your taste is really good.”

With the sticky candy stick in hand, Peter Aria muttered, “Aubree Groove?”

The candy-seller looked even more pleased and proudly said, “It seems our Master Aubree Groove is very famous now.

You also know about her, she’s a famous figure in our area, well known for miles around.”

He pointed towards the far-off Whitehead Mountain, “Master Aubree Groove ordained in the Silent Moon Temple, which is at the top of this mountain.”

“Master Aubree Groove is so kind-hearted.

She has helped us a lot, and we are all her followers.

Even though she’s left us now, we will always remember her kindness.”

Peter Aria noticed that one of the children was holding a candy figure of Aubree Groove, but hers was smiling.

Just as the child was about to put the candy figure into his mouth, Peter Aria quickly stopped him.

“Wait.”

Amid the puzzled gaze of the child, Peter Aria opened his wallet, only to find a few loose foreign currencies.

Since returning to China, mobile payment had been so convenient that he hadn’t seen Chinese Yuan for a long time.

Peter Aria looked back at Madon Linggo in the car, “Lend me some Chinese paper money.”

Unfortunately, Madon Linggo’s wallet was also empty.

“Dr.

Aria, I have some.” Lidya Linggo gave all the banknotes she had on her to Madon Linggo, amounting to more than eight hundred yuan.

She was an unauthorized immigrant and couldn’t open a bank account.

The only way she could pay for things was in cash.

Peter Aria took a one hundred yuan note and exchanged it for the candy figure in the child’s hand.

The child quickly handed him the candy figure, afraid that he might change his mind.

He took the money and ran off.

“I have one too, I have one too…”

A group of children as if they had found a path to wealth, all crowded in with their candy figures in hand.

“One by one, there’s enough for everyone.” After getting rid of the group of kids, Peter Aria was left with a pile of candy figures and only one ten yuan note.

Lidya Linggo watched with pity, sure enough, he was a sheltered young aristocrat who hadn’t experienced the hardships of life, so wasteful…

Peter Aria looked at the many candy figures on the vendor’s tools.

It seemed that Aubree Groove was indeed very popular in this small town.

The number of her candy figures could compete with those of the kids’ beloved superhero Sun Wukong.

The candy master, grinning, pulled out several of Aubree Groove’s candy figures to give him, “I can see that you like Master Aubree Groove a lot.
