Suzhou has many gardens,
From ancient times to the present,
How many famous scholars and poets have been here,
Reciting poems and songs of praise,
One could also see the beauty of this place from it.
"Wife,
Wife, you are really... Burp,
Waiter, bring the wine... "
In the wine shop, a young man was sitting at a table inside. The man had red lips and white teeth. He looked refined and dignified, but at this moment, because he had drunk too much wine,
He was so drunk that he did not look proper. His face was flushed,
He was talking nonsense,
Looking at the empty wine bottles on the table, he looked no different from those people who were drunk.
Siyang noticed the person in the corner as soon as she entered the door,
She was a little surprised.
She did not expect to meet Xu Xian as soon as she arrived in Suzhou City,
This meant that she was fated to meet Bai Suzhen and the others.
She sat down at a table next to Xu Xian and asked the waiter for two side dishes and a pot of tea,
Siyang began to eat slowly,
Xu Xian was drinking while listening to the conversation.
Side mouth inside the muttered words.
"Wife, Wife,
Why don't you,
Just don't... Burp,
I don't understand. "Xu Xian shook his head drunkenly,
His face was filled with loss and pain.
When he separated from Xiaoqing on Mount Emei, it was around a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival. There was a delay in the middle. Xu Xian should have been scared to death by Bai Suzhen?
Now, he was naturally rescued. Because he was scared to death, there was a shadow in his heart. When Bai Suzhen came looking for him, Xu Xian was in the city of vain death. No matter what, he was unwilling to go back with Bai Suzhen.
Later, it was Bai Suzhen who erased his memory and rescued him back to the world of the living. This time, even with the pill that Siyang gave Xiaoqing, the result was not much different.
Xu Xian was sometimes stubborn and sometimes cowardly. Although he and Bai Suzhen were a loving couple, most of the time, he still felt that Bai Suzhen was spoiling him.
When they had first arrived in Suzhou, Siyang had also made some inquiries in the city. Then, with Xu Xian's nagging for a long time, he had a rough idea. Xu Xian had been exiled to Suzhou. Because he had the care of his brother-in-law, he had been taken special care of and had not suffered much along the way. Then, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing had come to find him. The three of them had opened a medicine shop in Suzhou called Pao'an Hall.
Although Xu Xian was somewhat intelligent in the field of medicine, he was still too young and could not compare to the experienced doctors who had practiced medicine for many years. However, with Bai Suzhen's help, they managed to increase the reputation of Pao 'an Hall by a little bit.
This also caused some people in the local medical organization in Suzhou, the Association of Three Sovereigns, to be dissatisfied and brought him trouble.
Sipping her tea, Siyang asked Xu Xian, who was about to pass out from the drunken stupor. "I say, brother, the old beggar and her granddaughter were indeed poisoned and were purposely framed by the people of the Association of Three Sovereigns. Why are you still making things difficult for your wife for the sake of outsiders?"
Xu Xian raised his head and dizzily focused for a long time before his eyes met Siyang's face. He laughed foolishly. "Miss, you don't know … my wife's medical skills are superb. She saved the old beggar and her granddaughter who had been poisoned. My Pao'an Hall also did not suffer any losses. Although it was framed, now that the truth has been revealed, why can't we forgive people whenever we can? My wife insisted on not letting it go. I really can't bear it."
Siyang rolled her eyes at Xu Xian without hiding anything.
Of course, his Pao'an Hall did not suffer any losses. With Bai Suzhen around, how could mortals let him suffer losses?
"Husband Xu, I don't agree with what you said." Tapping her finger on the table, Siyang curled her lips at Xu Xian's innocent expression. "Let's not talk about why your wife is not letting it go. No matter what, you don't have the right to forgive a murderer."
"Why not?" Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen could not come to an agreement about this matter at home, so he came out to drink to drown his sorrows. He believed that he practiced medicine and saved people with a compassionate heart. What he did could not be more correct. "After tomorrow's court hearing, if the people from the Association of Three Sovereigns are confirmed to have poisoned people, they will definitely be punished. I am fine to begin with, and I don't want anyone else to get hurt."
Si Yang laughed angrily. Only Bai Suzhen would like this Xu Xian. It was really a case of different flowers entering each other's eyes. "You seem to have forgotten that it's true that the Three Sovereigns framed you, but the ones who poisoned them were innocent grandparents and grandchildren. They have to seek justice. Don't tell me that just because you're fine, they don't have to cry out their grievances?"
Xu Xian, who was pouring a glass of wine to drink, suddenly felt his hand tremble and the wine glass fell onto his clothes, wetting his clothes. However, he didn't care about this at all. His eyes were stunned and his expression was also stunned. "They, they …"
"You don't think that your wife cured the Crimson Crane Crown Poison in their bodies and saved their lives, do you?" Siyang purposely said in an exaggerated tone.
Xu Xian did not say anything. It was obvious that he really thought so.
"I, I'm not. The old beggar, they, they …" Xu Xian held his head. He could not think of what to say. He had been arguing with his wife all this time. Whenever it was possible to make mistakes, one should forgive them. When would there be an end to revenge?
But, but he seemed to have forgotten that not only did the Association of Three Sovereigns frame him, they almost killed him by poisoning him.
Seeing Xu Xian's vexed and ashamed expression after his thoughts were exposed, Si Yang cupped her chin and watched leisurely. She didn't provoke him anymore. If he listened to her, he would know what to do. Immortal Xu was a good person, but … it was a little hard to explain.
Her words dealt a heavy blow to Xu Xian. Siyang did not feel guilty at all. She patted her clothes, paid for the meal, and left.
But as soon as she stepped out of the door, she was targeted.
After walking to a secluded area, Siyang turned around and looked at the empty space behind her. She raised her voice. "Since you have followed me here, why don't you show yourself?"
A ray of white light landed a few meters in front of Siyang and transformed into a woman.
The woman's appearance was otherworldly. She was beautiful but not charming. Her brows were kind and dignified, making it hard for people to dislike her and even have the impulse to get close to her. As a demon, to be able to cultivate to Bai Suzhen's level, she was only one step away from becoming an immortal. It was this one step that made her suffer.
"Who are you? Why have you come to Suzhou?" Bai Suzhen looked at Siyang warily.
She had taken root in Suzhou and understood the surrounding area. There were a few demons. There was not even a 500-year-old demon here. How could Bai Suzhen not be suspicious when a 1,000-year-old demon suddenly appeared? She suspected that Siyang was a demon that had come down from some mountain to cause trouble in the mortal world.
"When demons walk in the mortal world, it is fine if monks and Taoists care. But when did you, one of the same kind, also care?" Siyang was dissatisfied with Bai Suzhen's tone.
Bai Suzhen had always had a good temper. She had only spoken out to test Si Yang. Her cultivation was much higher than Si Yang's, and she had also noticed that Si Yang did not have the ferocious demonic aura that most demons would have. Si Yang's aura was extremely pure, and she should not have harmed anyone before.
"Fellow Taoist, please do not blame me. My name is Bai Suzhen. I was originally cultivating on Mount Emei, but for many years I was unable to achieve fruit. Fortunately, I received guidance from Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South Sea. I need to end a mortal bond in the mortal world, so I incarnated in Suzhou." Bai Suzhen explained her origins in a gentle voice.
Because she had Guanyin Bodhisattva as her backer, whenever Bai Suzhen encountered something, she liked to mention Guanyin Bodhisattva.
In reality, this person's name was indeed resounding. Up in the heavens and down in the underworld, they all gave Guanyin Bodhisattva face and opened wide the doors of convenience for Bai Suzhen. Even Fa Hai was afraid and had to use schemes to get his revenge.
"Mount Emei, Bai Suzhen," Siyang muttered and raised her eyebrows. "You should have a sister who wears green."
Bai Suzhen was shocked. "You know my sister, Xiaoqing?"
"I've met her once on Mount Emei." She had come to Siyang in Suzhou not to make trouble for Bai Suzhen. Besides, she also wanted to know if the medicine she gave had saved Xu Xian. If it had, she had to accept this kindness.
Just as expected.
Bai Suzhen was very intelligent. With just a few words, she immediately thought of the person Xiaoqing had said she had met the medicine giver on Mount Emei. Her eyes immediately lit up. "Could it be that you are the benefactor?"
Oh, the benefactor had appeared. It seemed that it was as she had expected. Siyang was very satisfied with this result.
"In that case, you are the master of Clear Wind Cave." Suddenly enlightened, Siyang's face revealed an embarrassed expression. "It was I who first entered your abode uninvited. Giving the medicine is also returning the favor."
Bai Suzhen clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred. She remembered whose kindness she owed in her heart. How could she care so much about other things? She also let down her guard. She stepped forward and gave a half-bow to Central Si, "My husband is indebted to the benefactor's celestial medicine. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do."
With this, the tense atmosphere from before disappeared without a trace.
"I was just cultivating along the way and passed by this place. I did not intend to stay for long." To be exact, Siyang only came to see the current situation of Bai Suzhen and the others.
"Since benefactor is here, why not stay for a few more days? You and I are both cultivators. We can also have a heart-to-heart talk."
Siyang glanced at Bai Suzhen's belly, which was not very obvious. He said meaningfully, "White Sister, you are pregnant now. A demon is pregnant with a human fetus. You should take care of yourself."
"You …" Bai Suzhen was quite surprised. Siyang could tell at a glance that her fetus was not ordinary. Of course, she herself also felt it. In addition to returning a favor, the most important thing for her to descend to the mortal world was to give birth to this child.
"By the way, White Sister, is your master's surname Xu and his name is Xian?" Siyang changed the topic.
"… Yes, you have seen him?" Bai Suzhen's attention was suddenly diverted. She came out for Xu Xian, but she did not expect to run into Siyang.
Siyang nodded and pointed to a corner of the alley in front of them. "I just met him. He drank a lot of wine in the wine shop. He was so drunk that he passed out."
"Oh, why is my master so temperamental?" Bai Suzhen frowned and sighed heavily. Sometimes, she was also helpless against Xu Xian's capriciousness.
"White Sister, you should go find Husband Xu." Siyang did not want to go to Bai Suzhen's invitation.
In the end, she was still worried about Xu Xian. After a little hesitation, Bai Suzhen was about to go find Xu Xian.
"Wait." Siyang stopped her.
Bai Suzhen stopped. "Benefactor, if you have something to say, please say it."
"Guanyin Bodhisattva asked White Sister to come to the human world to repay her kindness. This guidance is a good thing. I hope sister can understand Guanyin Bodhisattva's intentions and not lose the big picture for the small." Siyang paused and pointed to her belly. "You also have to think about the child in your belly."
"Benefactor, what do you mean?" Bai Suzhen did not understand for a moment.
It was inconvenient for Si Yang to say too much. "Since you and Xu Xian are already husband and wife and are willing to become a mortal, then you and your sister Xiao Qing shouldn't be too insolent in your actions. When Xu Xian was sent here, it was you who acted without any scruples, casually robbing the yamen's silver, harming others and yourself."
"I …" This past was mentioned by Siyang. Bai Suzhen was a little embarrassed, but she could not refute.
"It's better to think from a human's point of view." That was enough. Si Yang nodded at her. "We'll meet again."
