Chapter 76

Rustle, rustle, rustle —

Wisps of spring rain hit the old windows, and the few crooked wooden boards emitted a faint light. The strong smell of medicine wafted in the cold early spring air, mixed with the soft 'puff' sound of the medicine pot being boiled.

"Woo —"

A weak voice sounded, and the woman under the quilt frowned slightly. Her eyelashes trembled slightly under the dim light, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The world spun around her, and she felt weak all over. Her eyes were filled with confusion and exhaustion.

"Woosh."

She struggled to lift the quilt, propped up her body with her elbow, and glanced out.

The house was not big, and there were a few simple benches in the corner. The dripping raincoat hung on the wall, and there was nothing else. The four walls of the house were bare, and the windows were broken. It seemed to be the house of a poor family, but they loved to be clean.

She was relieved to be out of danger, and turned to look at the source of the sound.

There was a small stove at the door of the house, and a young man in a white robe was sitting on a small bench, fanning the small stove with a cattail leaf fan.

Although the white robe was stained with water, it was embroidered with gold. Obviously, it was not worn by ordinary dignitaries. Looking from here, his profile was very handsome, and his peach blossom eyes were looking at the spring rain outside, and he was in a daze.

"…"

The woman was just relieved, but she was worried again. After all, this place was obviously not the place where the young man should be.

Could it be that she was taken advantage of by a playboy …

She looked down and found that her clothes were intact, and there was nothing strange about her body.

The young man in white seemed to have heard the movement in the house, and he looked back slightly, showing a very moving bright smile,

"Miss, you're awake?"

"… Oh …"

She resisted the weakness, sat up slowly, and woke up a little.

Death fight, pursuit, the sudden appearance of a helper, and carrying …

All kinds of scenes before fainting came to her mind, and she finally came to her senses. Her eyes showed some gratitude, and she slightly bowed to do a Taoist etiquette,

"Thank you for saving me, young man."

His voice had a bit of natural intimacy, and even if it was weak, it was like a spring breeze.

Xu Buling put down the cattail leaf fan, poured a bowl of medicine, walked into the house, and chuckled,

"It's nothing, miss. Don't worry about it."

The woman breathed a few times, and her complexion gradually recovered. She reluctantly smiled,

"Sigh … I killed Zhang Xiang. If you save me, the Death Reaper of the Office of Investigations will definitely come after you … You shouldn't have saved me."

Hearing this, Xu Buling shook his head and smiled, "I am the eldest son of Su Of Gojoseon, and the Department of Investigation can't do anything to me. The Department of Investigation can't do anything to me. I saved you just because they bullied you."

The woman was stunned and showed some surprise. "I've long heard of Old General Xu's fame. It turns out that you're a descendant of Old General Xu … My name is Ning Yuhe, and I come from the Evergreen Temple near Mount Wudang. My nickname is Immortal Lonely Autumn. I've met your mother a few times when I was young …"

Bang!

The bowl of medicine fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The bowl of medicine fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Ning Yuhe was shocked. She looked up and saw the gentle and elegant young man staring at her with a dumbfounded expression. His face was a little pale, but she did not know whether it was because of his natural fair skin or because of something else.

Ning Yuhe thought that Xu Buling did not believe her, so she smiled gently, "Your mother is the daughter of the Lu family in the East Sea. When she was young, she traveled the world and went to the Tang family once … You should have heard of my name, right? After all, there are very few people in the world who have not heard of me … "

"Uh …"

Naturally, Xu Buling had heard of her before. She was known as the leader of the Eight Chiefs of Xuanhe. She was the eldest daughter of the Tang family, who Xu Danqing felt that no beauty in the world could be drawn into a painting. She ran away from Song Ji's marriage and became a monk. She was also the master of Ning Qing Ye.

He had just kissed her a few days ago, and just now …

Not a single blade of grass grew … Steamed bun …

Xu Buling thought to himself, "My life is over." His expression returned to normal, and he raised his hand to salute a junior.

"So it's Priest Bai, ahem … Priest Ning, I've heard of your name for a long time. I have never met you before, so I did not recognize you just now."

Ning Yuhe blinked gently. He thought about it before he bowed slightly and returned the salute. "You are too courteous, Prince. I came out to roam the world of martial artists, and it is not good for my identity to be seen in public. That's why I decided to disguise myself. If you did not save me, I really do not know how I would have ended up."

"It was nothing." Xu Buling thought about it for a while before he walked back to the door and fiddled with the medicinal pot. "Priest Ning, why did you go and cause trouble for Zhang Xiang? Logically speaking, there should be no grudge between you two. "

Ning Yuhe looked a little worried. He hesitated for a while before he said, "Young master, you saved my life, so I will not hide it from you. I have a disciple. I took my mother's surname, and she took my surname. Her name is Ning Qing Ye. I wonder if you have heard of her …"

"Ning Qing Ye?"

Xu Buling looked a little 'surprised'. He tilted his head and smiled. "So she is your disciple. I was wondering why they have the same surname …"

Ning Yuhe frowned and sat up straight. "Young master, have you met Qing Ye?"

Xu Buling nodded. "I met her by chance before the New Year. Later on, she tried to assassinate Zhang Xiang and was injured. She has been recuperating in this courtyard. She just left a few days ago … Speaking of which, it is quite a coincidence that you came here right after she left."

Ning Yuhe's nervous heart was relieved. She heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good that Qing Ye is fine …" She looked at Xu Buling and shook her head. "Qing Ye is stubborn. She said that she wanted to go down the mountain for a stroll, but she secretly came to the capital to seek revenge … Sigh, I thought that Zhang Xiang had captured her. I couldn't get into the dungeon, so I wanted to ask Zhang Xiang about it. I didn't expect that the imperial court would stab people in the back … It's all thanks to young master's help …"

Xu Buling nodded gently. When he heard Ning Yuhe's concern for Qing Ye, he regretted being a busybody.

If Ning Yuhe really could not win against him, he could just tell him his name. In the past, Ning Yuhe ran away from Song Ji's marriage or Dai Yue's empress. The matter of him running away from the marriage was a big deal. Song Ji had personally pardoned Ning Yuhe. If Zhang Xiang wanted to kill Ning Yuhe, he would definitely ask for the emperor's permission. Based on Song Ji's usual style, he would definitely not do such a strenuous and unrewarding thing.

Now that he had interfered and recklessly saved Ning Yuhe, he even took advantage of both sides. If either one of the Ning's knew …

Xu Buling felt a chill run down his spine. He did not dare to have anything to do with Ning Yuhe anymore. He got up, poured a bowl of medicine, and placed it beside the bed.

"Ning Qing Ye is fine. I'm afraid she has already returned to the Temple of Evergreen. Recently, the government must be very strict. Taoist, you should go back early in the morning."

Ning Yuhe picked up the bowl of medicine and blew at it gently. He shook his head and said, "My identity is clean on the surface. I still have something to do in the capital, so I'm not in a hurry to leave."

"…"

Xu Buling blinked. "Taoist, you can stay here. My identity is special, so I can't come here often. Taoist, please don't worry."

Ning Yuhe nodded and looked up and down at Xu Buling. "I can't thank you with words. If you need any help, just let me know."

"Alright, then I'll take my leave first."

Xu Buling turned around and closed the door. With a whoosh, he disappeared without a trace.

Ning Yuhe picked up the bowl of medicine and took a sip. He looked around and looked at the shabby little house.

For some reason, she felt that the young King was a little strange. It seemed that he was in a hurry to cut ties with her …

"Taoist Bai … strange …"
