Chapter 26: I Am the Wind God

"Anyone who survives multiple Arrow Realm explorations isn’t a saint or a fool," the Star God said. "Even if they are, it just means that person has been incredibly lucky."

"Luck is a tricky thing," he added, pausing briefly before continuing softly, "This matter is up to you. If what the other person did makes you uncomfortable, I can help you repay the favor."

"Tomorrow, Li Wenze will receive a contribution award for exploring the Arrow Realm, along with a gift worth five million in silver mercury ash."

Su Wen shook his head. "No need. I’ll repay the favor myself."

Perhaps, as the Star God said, Li Wenze had his own reasons.

But the three million he lent had been a huge help to Su Wen.

That was enough.

Why overthink it?

Besides, when Li Wenze lent the money, did he even know the Star God would come to erase his memories?

"Alright," the Star God nodded slightly. "Since you have your own plans, I won’t say more."

"Are you coming back to the organization with me now, or do you want to stay here for a couple of days and say goodbye to your friends?"

Su Wen replied without hesitation, "Let’s go to the organization. I want to see what it’s really like."

The organization founded by the Star God!

And he had been invited to join, with such strict precautions in place.

In a way, those who qualified to join the Star God’s organization were likely all fate bearers with the character "God."

He also wanted to see how many fate bearers with the character "God" existed in China today.

And… that traitor.

Had the traitor, the Wind God, shown up yet?

If the Wind God had already joined the organization, how strong was he now?

"Good, then let’s go," the Star God said.

Before he even finished speaking, a flash of starlight lit up the air.

In an instant, the world around them shifted.

After a brief moment of disorientation, Su Wen took in his surroundings.

A large… office…

It wasn’t like any ordinary company office, but Su Wen’s first thought was that it felt like he’d just landed a job and was about to start working.

"Welcome!"

A figure dressed in short sleeves, wearing a colorful mask that made him look like an old man, appeared before Su Wen.

"This is our new member, and he’s the fifth member of our organization!"

The Star God smiled and said, "You guys should get to know each other and have a chat."

"I’ve got things to do, so I’ll leave you to it."

With that, the Star God disappeared from sight.

"You’ll get used to it. The Star God is always busy."

The elderly man smiled and said, "Hello, God of Wealth. We’re already familiar with your background."

"Let me introduce myself, I’m the God of Theater."

Su Wen was surprised and asked, "God of Joy?"

A god who brings happiness?

What kind of power is that?

Does he make others happy, or just himself?

"No, it’s the God of Theater, as in drama."

The God of Theater chuckled, "I love listening to music and watching plays, so I guess my role as the God of Theater is tied to my hobbies."

Su Wen thought for a moment and said, "I’m the God of Wealth, so I… like money? Yeah, I like money. Who doesn’t?"

As the saying goes, money isn’t everything, but you can’t do much without it.

Especially with all the advancements in technology and society, money is becoming more and more essential.

"Exactly, who isn’t interested in money?"

The God of Theater said softly, "Especially in this day and age. The God of Wealth, the Star God really values you."

"He dropped everything and rushed over as soon as he got your message."

"Honestly, I’ve never seen the Star God act like that before."

Su Wen laughed, "Really? Everyone’s important, but your skills are probably more about fighting, while mine are more about spending money."

Then he changed the subject, "Actually, I know a bit about theater, though not much."

"For example, I’ve listened to ‘The Peony Pavilion’ by Tang Xianzu from the Ming Dynasty; it’s really beautiful."

Hearing this, the God of Theater straightened up and waved his hand, summoning two canvas chairs.

"Come, let’s sit and talk."

"Theater, strictly speaking, is a broad term."

"Our traditional art in China is called theater. It used to be called drama, but to differentiate from foreign drama, we started calling it theater."

He paused and continued, "About Tang Xianzu, whom you just mentioned, do you know much about him? Especially ‘The Peony Pavilion,’ which was quite progressive for its time."

"Du Liniang’s pursuit of love broke the chains of feudal morality, which has been influential for later generations."

"By the way, do you know about Tang Xianzu’s theory of deep feelings? If not, I can explain it to you."

Su Wen listened as the God of Theater went on and on, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

He only knew a little about theater.

Earlier, he was just making small talk, and since the God of Theater seemed interested, he mentioned it.

But as the God of Theater got more technical, Su Wen’s expression changed.

What is the theory of deep feelings?

Is the God of Theater a teacher?

Hmm… a theater artist?

"Is the God of Theater starting to lecture again?"

Suddenly, a playful voice came from nearby.

A little boy wearing a blue mask appeared in Su Wen’s view, and the God of Theater turned his attention to him.

"Xiao Feng, after you lost our bet last time, did you finish reading Guan Hanqing’s ‘Dou E’s Injustice’ like you promised?"

"……"

The boy named Xiao Feng froze for a moment, then said, "God of Theater, can we talk about something more cheerful today since the God of Wealth just arrived?"

The God of Theater laughed and said, "Alright! You young folks chat first."

After the God of Theater left, Xiao Feng sighed in relief.

"Hello, God of Wealth! Welcome to our big family."

"Hello!"

Su Wen replied cheerfully. The fate bearer with the character "God" in front of him didn’t look very old!

Elementary school student?

It’s quite amusing when the God of Theater meets a fellow elementary school student.

This kid probably didn’t expect that he’d still have to study even after coming here!

"Let me introduce myself."

The little boy smiled and said, "God of Wealth, I’m the Wind God. Please take care of me!"

Su Wen: "……"
