After the Zhuang family quarreled again, they decided to go to the capital together. Zhuang Liushi wanted to keep an eye on her son. She was afraid that Bai Yi, a beautiful orphan girl, would steal her son's heart. Once her son got a good reputation, he would marry a big sister. How could he be entangled with an orphan girl?
Zhuang Yulang was moved for the first time. He had never been with other girls, so he was very resistant to Zhuang Liushi's method. However, he had no other way. He could only let Zhuang Liushi and Bai Yi follow him, as well as the two foxes.
But these two women didn't understand. They didn't have to go directly to the capital to take the exam. Zhuang Yulang had to pass the exam first. The exam was in the town under the jurisdiction of their prefectural magistrate. Fortunately, the exam was coming, and it wouldn't be delayed for a long time. They could start to pack up their belongings and prepare to move.
After Zhuang Yulang explained it to them, they began to be more harmonious than ever. For the peace of the family, Zhuang Yulang could concentrate on his studies. The two foxes now lived in the Zhuang family and were taken care of by Bai Yi. Zhuang Yulang was very relieved. He didn't have to run out to play with the foxes every day. He really had a lot more time to study.
But after the exam, he was the last one to pass the exam.
Zhuang Yulang was hit hard. He didn't smile anymore. When he went out and met his old classmates, he was ridiculed. He simply locked himself in his room all day and didn't go out.
Bai Yi ran to the Li family with a sad face and held Chu Xiang for help. "Xiang 'er, what should you do? How can I help him? He clearly passed the exam. Is the ranking really that important? How about, how about … "
"No." Bai Yi rolled her eyes. Chu Xiang guessed what she was going to do. "Didn't you want to treat yourself as an ordinary woman and not use magic? Ordinary women can't do anything when they encounter this kind of thing. Don't think about tampering with the results or doing anything in the next exam. Once it's found that his answers are abnormal, he may be stripped of his qualifications to take the exam. He may even be thrown into prison. "
Bai Yi was startled. "So serious?"
"There are even more serious things than this. Just remember, don't get involved in things you don't understand." Li Yufeng poured a cup of tea and used his hand to touch the cup. When he felt that the temperature was just right, he passed it to Chu Xiang. He said earnestly, "Don't worry about him. If you cheat him to get a scholarly rank, his ability to be an official in the future will still be affected. At that time, the consequences will be even worse."
"Then should I just do nothing and watch him suffer?" Bai Yi was not willing to give up. After all, she could do many things, but because of the restrictions, she could not do anything.
Chu Xiang smiled faintly. "You can comfort him. When he's tired from reading, you can help him relieve his fatigue. You can help him focus on reading. You can help him do many trivial and influential things. These won't cause any trouble, and it's good for him. It's better to let him pass the exam himself than fake it. "
Chu Xiang thought about it and changed her method. "For example, you and I have a hard time cultivating, but in the end, we have to cultivate ourselves to have the most solid cultivation. Those demons who use tricks to improve their cultivation will not have a good ending. Do you understand?"
This made Bai Yi completely understand. She didn't think about this before. She always felt that it was easy to steal a question and change the answer. Since she could do it, why not do it? But when Chu Xiang said this, she understood. If someone helped her fake her cultivation, wouldn't she die if she really met a Daoist? She still had to be strong in order to have real ability.
Bai Yi quickly figured it out and said with a smile, "I know what to do. I have to take care of everything for him and let him concentrate on studying and taking the imperial exam."
Bai Yi ran away happily. Li Yufeng shook his head. "She's walking further and further on the road of being a good wife and loving mother."
Chu Xiang felt that it didn't matter. "As long as she enjoys it, it's fine. Don't we cultivate to be happy? If leaving that scholar will make her sad, then don't leave. Have you packed your things? You may not be back so soon. "
"I've already packed. We can leave at any time."
"Then we'll wait for them in front. It's easier to believe that they'll meet by chance."
"Let's go."
Chu Xiang sent a message to Bai Yi. She and Li Yufeng left in advance. They could also play along the way.
Bai Yi also helped Zhuang Liushi to pack up the things in the Zhuang family. It was really too tiring to be an ordinary woman without using magic. She felt that there was endless work to do. So if she was alone now, she would secretly use some magic to work and pack up the things, which would make her much more relaxed. In the eyes of Zhuang Liushi and Zhuang Yulang, she was exceptionally capable. She took care of the Zhuang family inside and out very well.
Zhuang Yulang was leaving. He specially went to visit his former teacher. The teacher didn't expect him to leave so early. Usually, before the students of their town went to the capital to take the imperial examinations, the prefectural magistrate would host a banquet to entertain them. The purpose was to form good karma and see if anyone was poor and would help them.
In the teacher's eyes, Zhuang Yulang was a student with a poor family background. So the teacher recommended him to the prefectural magistrate in advance and thought of a way to ask the prefectural magistrate to meet him in his busy schedule.
Zhuang Yulang was very talented in his studies. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pass the imperial examinations at such a young age. Although his ranking wasn't ideal, he was still young. There were others who couldn't pass the imperial examinations at the age of fifty. So the teacher thought highly of him. Naturally, he praised him in front of the prefectural magistrate.
When the prefectural magistrate saw Zhuang Yulang, he casually asked a few questions. Zhuang Yulang answered without any merit or fault. The prefectural magistrate thought that it was his first time meeting an official. He was too nervous and didn't perform well. So the prefectural magistrate was very satisfied with him. Seeing Zhuang Yulang's dignified appearance and polite manner, he had an idea. He asked if Zhuang Yulang was married.
Zhuang Yulang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly answered that he wasn't married yet. The prefectural magistrate stroked his beard and looked at him. He nodded and asked someone to give him fifty taels of silver. After encouraging him, he asked him to leave.
As soon as Zhuang Yulang and the teacher came out of the Jiang Mansion, the teacher's face lit up with joy. "Yulang, great news! The prefectural magistrate has taken a fancy to you! "
Zhuang Yulang was still a little confused. "What does he like about me?"
"Of course, he likes you to be his son-in-law!" The teacher pulled him aside and whispered, "This time, even if you don't pass the imperial examinations, you must pass the Jinshi exam. It's impossible for the Jiang Family's legitimate daughter to marry you. But there's a concubine's daughter in the Jiang Family. A while ago, she accidentally fell from the sedan chair onto the street. So, she's more or less affected. If you can pass the Jinshi exam, you'll probably be able to marry this concubine's daughter. At that time, the prefectural magistrate will take care of you and promote you. You'll have a bright future! "
Zhuang Yulang thought of Miss Jiang and Bai Yi at home. He lowered his head and said, "I don't want to rely on him. And I …"
The teacher looked at his face and said in surprise, "Don't tell me you already have a girl in mind? Yulang, don't let me remind you. You're just a Juren now. There are only so many people who can match you. But if you pass the Jinshi exam or even pass the imperial examinations, you can marry a big sister and have a big family behind you. It'll be very beneficial for you in the future. Don't be confused. Marriage must wait. Don't decide at will. "
Zhuang Yulang listened to his teacher very much. He bowed and said, "Don't worry, teacher. I just want to focus on the imperial examinations. I don't want to get married."
"That's good. Remember not to marry at will. You'll know in the future that I'm doing this for your own good."
Bai Yi ran out to take Zhuang Yulang home. She didn't expect to hear such a conversation. She was a little confused. Why didn't Zhuang Yulang directly tell the teacher that he already had a sweetheart and had no interest in Miss Jiang? Why did Zhuang Yulang follow the teacher's advice that he didn't want to get married? Did he like Bai Yi before the White Fox, but he never thought of marrying her?
During this period of time, Bai Yi specially went to understand many rules about women. She knew that an orphan girl like her had lived in the Zhuang family for so long. If Zhuang Yulang didn't marry her in the end, no one else would be willing to marry her. Because in the eyes of those who knew, she was already living under the same roof with Zhuang Yulang.
Although she didn't want to marry anyone else at all, Zhuang Yulang should be clear about this. Why didn't he tell the teacher at this time?
Bai Yi thought for a moment and walked out of the alley. She smiled and greeted Zhuang Yulang. When the teacher saw such a beautiful and refined girl, he couldn't help but be surprised. "This is …"
Zhuang Yulang hurriedly said, "This is my cousin." After that, he felt that this was the most suitable identity for outsiders, so he continued, "This is my mother's relative. Because no one in the family came to my mother, she temporarily lived in my Zheng family."
For the first time, the sweetness in Bai Yi's heart had a different feeling. She was a little suspicious of Zhuang Yulang's attitude, but she didn't say anything because there were outsiders.
The teacher stroked his beard and said with a smile, "your mother is kind. Well, you should make more friends in the capital and learn from others. I'll wait for you to return home in glory."
"Thank you, teacher."
When the teacher left, Bai Yi also turned around with the basket. There was no expression on her face. Zhuang Yulang hurriedly followed and said in his heart, "Is Miss Bai angry about what happened just now? I have no choice. Only if you are a relative of my family can I protect your reputation. I hope you can forgive me for offending you. "
Bai Yi endured and endured, but she still couldn't hold back. She looked at him and asked, "are you going to marry? Marry Miss Jiang of the magistrate's family? Do you like her? "
Zhuang Yulang blushed when he was asked. He looked around and said, "you can't say that. It's just a guess of the teacher. Besides, I don't have such an intention. I just want to concentrate on the imperial exam. "
"What about after the imperial exam?"
"After that, after that, I, I …"
"What kind of wife do you want to marry?" Bai Yi was unhappy in her heart. She had to ask for an answer.
Zhuang Yulang had never seen such a bold woman. Looking at her angry face, he felt that it was very cute. His heart moved, and he smiled: "If I marry a wife, I naturally want to marry a virtuous wife."
"What kind of wife is considered a virtuous wife?"
"Far away, close in front of you."
Zhuang Yulang looked at Bai Yi, and Bai Yi's face slowly turned red. The displeasure just now disappeared, and the two of them opened up even more, adding a bit of sweetness and heat. Their eyes and smiles were full of shyness.
Zhuang Liushi saw this and was even more displeased with Bai Yi. However, Zhuang Yulang didn't do well in the imperial exam and was in a bad mood. She didn't say much. She suppressed all her dissatisfaction and only prepared to go to the capital.
Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng had already played around. They picked a rainy night and waited in a ruined temple not far from Bai Yi.
Chu Xiang looked around in the ruined temple with her hands behind her back. Looking at the broken Buddha statue, she smiled and said: "Why do scholars always run into ruined temples to hide from the rain?"
Li Yufeng squatted on the ground to make a fire. He laughed and said: "Other people will also run into it. It's just that it's not written in a book."
Chu Xiang squatted beside him and asked curiously: "Have you seen many demons? How come we didn't see any along the way? Is there anything fun? "
"Your aura is so strong. How can ordinary demons dare to approach you? Great demons usually cultivate deep in the mountains. They won't easily come to places with human habitation. Naturally, we won't meet them. It has to be fun … … "Li Yufeng touched his chin and thought for a moment." There is a snake demon in the Green Bamboo Mountain ahead. He is good at medicine. Every day, he treats the common people for free and also tells their fortunes. But he is very brave. As soon as he finds traces of Daoist priests and monks, he hides. Other than me, no one seems to know that he is a demon. "
"So kind. Is he accumulating merit to cultivate? His heart can sail for ten thousand years. It seems that he has adapted well in the human world. How about we go and take a look? I can hide my demonic aura. Don't expose that you are a demon hunter. "Chu Xiang had transmigrated for a long time and hadn't seen any other demons. She couldn't wait to see them.
Li Yufeng smiled. "That's good. But don't change your mind. That snake demon is also quite good-looking."
Chu Xiang raised her hand and smeared two streaks of ash on his face. "I can't guarantee that."
The two of them were messing around. Coincidentally, Bai Yi, Zhuang Yulang, and Zhuang Liushi ran into the ruined temple. Bai Yi was naturally happy to see them. Zhuang Yulang turned around and looked a little embarrassed. Zhuang Liushi frowned. She felt that it was improper for them to be messing around. She was very unhappy.
Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng stood up and asked: "Are you also here to take shelter from the rain? We can't find any dry wood now. Come and warm yourself with us. "
Chu Xiang naturally pulled Bai Yi over. "Sister, dry your clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold."
Bai Yi took advantage of the situation and said: "Thank you, sister. Brother Zhuang, aunt, come and warm yourself. We still have to hurry. If we catch a cold, it will be troublesome."
This was the truth. If they fell ill on the way to the capital, they would have to spend a lot of money to see a doctor. Moreover, they would suffer. They had already hired a carriage to carry their things. If they fell ill, they wouldn't even have enough money.
Zhuang Yulang politely thanked them and sat down. Li Yufeng casually chatted with him. After a while, he revealed that he was an examinee. He was very surprised that Zhuang Yulang also came to the capital to take the exam. Then, the two of them talked about essays and became familiar with each other.
Scholars always made people look up to them. Zhuang Liushi's impression of Li Yufeng rose sharply. At the same time, she didn't like the beautiful Chu Xiang, who was wearing a red dress and chatting happily with Bai Yi. When she saw Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng messing around, she was even more certain that she was right to follow them. Otherwise, wouldn't Zhuang Yulang and Bai Yi be like that? Would they still study?
Zhuang Liushi asked Chu Xiang sarcastically: "You're married? The elders in your family let you come to the capital to take the exam? "
Chu Xiang didn't want to pay attention to her, so she casually said: "Of course we're married. We don't have any elders in our families."
"No wonder." Zhuang Liushi muttered, "I have something that you might not like to hear … …"
"Then don't say it." Chu Xiang smiled and blocked her words, "We met by chance. It can be considered fate. Why would you say something that others don't like to hear? This time, you're going to the capital and are unfamiliar with the place. If your unpleasant words enter the nobles' ears, it won't be good for your son's future, right? "
Zhuang Liushi's first reaction was to think that she had a sharp tongue, but Zhuang Yulang beat her to it. Zhuang Yulang was one step ahead of her: "Sister-in-law is right. I'm sorry for being rude."
Zhuang Liushi looked at Zhuang Yulang's expression and closed her mouth. However, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She felt that her son felt that she was embarrassing. However, when she looked at Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng's clothes, she felt that these two people were probably very rich. The material of their clothes was much better than theirs. She couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't speak nonsense just now and became cautious.
Bai Yi felt a burst of joy when she saw Chu Xiang scolding Zhuang Liushi. She transmitted her voice to Chu Xiang: [Look at her face. It's like a pig's liver. She really deserves it. She only knows how to talk nonsense and meddle in everything. If only I could treat her like that.]
[You can, as long as you leave your benefactor.]
[I … … Brother Zhuang promised to marry me in private. He'll marry me after the exam.]
Chu Xiang glanced at her: [Then there's no other way. When she becomes your mother-in-law, you'll suffer. What kind of addiction do you have? Why do you have to find trouble for yourself? I heard that there's a snake demon in the bamboo forest that's very good-looking. Why don't I change it to someone else? Just repay your kindness. Why do you have to like him?]
Bai Yi was speechless: [Can I control my liking? But I didn't want to be tempted by my benefactor in the beginning. How can I change it so easily? Then can you change Li Yufeng just like that?]
Chu Xiang wondered: [Why can't I change it when it's necessary?]
Li Yufeng coughed a few times and handed Chu Xiang two roasted chicken legs. [Well, I can hear your voice transmission. Consider me. I can't change it. I have whatever Xiang Xiang wants. Of course, there's no need to change it.]
Chu Xiang gave one of the chicken legs to Bai Yi and then watched her give it to Zhuang Liushi. Zhuang Liushi insisted on giving it to Zhuang Yulang. In the end, Zhuang Yulang awkwardly refused and Zhuang Liushi ate it.
Chu Xiang sighed: [Why do I want you to change it? It's because of this difference. What do you want? Is it fun to take care of them? There's no equivalent return. It's boring.]
Everything was afraid of comparison. After Li Yufeng handed the chicken wings to Chu Xiang, Bai Yi was also puzzled by Zhuang Yulang, who was waiting to eat. Why did Li Yufeng always treat Chu Xiang well when he liked her, but Zhuang Yulang didn't seem to … do anything for her?
Bai Yi was a little depressed. Chu Xiang asked her to see the snake demon, but she didn't want to go. Who knew that Zhuang Liushi would mention Cui Zhu Mountain. She had long heard that there was a medical immortal in Cui Zhu Mountain. Not only was he skilled in medicine, but he was also very accurate in his fortune-telling. Now that she happened to pass by, she naturally wanted to see it. It would be best if she could tell that Zhuang Yulang was a literary star. Then she would be at ease.
Hearing Zhuang Liushi's words, Li Yufeng said: "Is it really so accurate? Then let's go and see. "
Zhuang Liushi glanced at Chu Xiang's belly and said: "You're going to pray for children. That's right. That medical immortal not only knows fortune-telling, but also has great medical skills. He can see anything."
Li Yufeng smiled and said: "That's not it. Children's fate depends on luck. There's no need to force it. We're just going to watch the fun. Anyway, we're not in a hurry. There's no need to be in such a hurry and miss the beautiful scenery along the way. "
Zhuang Yulang said: "Brother Li's words are very true. As the saying goes, 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as walking ten thousand li'. It's not good to be in a hurry. We should appreciate the scenery along the way."
In this way, they reached a consensus. Li Yufeng and Zhuang Yulang felt like old friends at first sight. Chu Xiang and Bai Yi chatted happily. Just by taking shelter from the rain in the temple, the distance between the two sides was shortened a lot. Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng also took a carriage. Only the two of them were more spacious. They put some of the Zhuang family's luggage to make the Zhuang family feel more comfortable. Then, they could travel together.
Because Zhuang Liushi was scolded by Chu Xiang, she didn't like her. However, it was rare for Zhuang Yulang to make a reading friend. She couldn't destroy it. She could only speak less and vent her anger on Bai Yi in private, making Bai Yi suffer a lot of grievances.
This kind of grievance was willingly suffered by Bai Yi. But after being wronged so much, she couldn't help but think, was she sick? Why did she, a great demon beast, have to suffer the anger of an unreasonable woman here? She grew up with Chu Xiang. How happy was Chu Xiang now? How aggrieved was she? What did she want?
The words that Chu Xiang asked her appeared more and more in her mind. If it weren't for the love between her and Zhuang Yulang, she really wanted to leave.
The group of five people and the coachman of the Zhuang family's carriage walked to the green bamboo forest. They felt a kind of blessing like a spring breeze. Zhuang Liushi said happily: "This place will definitely be effective. We must ask for it."
Chu Xiang and Bai Yi restrained their demon aura and lined up behind the people. Bai Yi looked at the long line and said in surprise: [Xiang 'er, is it really a snake demon? He's so popular? Why?]
[Yufeng is a snake demon. You'll know when you see him later. He treats people and doesn't ask for money. Of course, the people like him. Some people say that his fortune-telling is accurate. Maybe he used magic to help others. The people believe in these things.]
Bai Yi nodded thoughtfully. Looking at the people who came out of the bamboo house with grateful and happy faces, she thought of another question. [Xiang 'er, you … if one day they know that this immortal doctor is a snake demon, will they still like him?]
[Of course not. Maybe one in ten thousand people will continue to like him. This is the so-called different path of humans and demons. Unless people know that he is a demon from the beginning, they can accept it.]
Bai Yi looked at Zhuang Yulang with worry in her heart. Zhuang Yulang liked a virtuous orphan girl named Bai Yi. If one day Zhuang Yulang knew that she was a fox demon and taught Miss Jiang and Zhuang Liushi a lesson, would he still like her?
No.
These two words suddenly appeared in Bai Yi's mind, making her face turn pale quickly. Seeing this, Zhuang Yulang said worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? "
Bai Yi shook her head and said with a slight smile, "Maybe it's because the sun is too strong and I've been standing for too long."
"Delicate," Zhuang Liushi muttered in an extremely loud voice. Chu Xiang, Bai Yi, and Li Yufeng, who had cultivation bases, all heard it.
For the first time, Bai Yi felt embarrassed. They were all xiuzhe with high cultivation. Why was she the only one who was humiliated here and could not resist?
When it was their turn, Bai Yi's pale face matched the appearance of a sick person. So when they entered the bamboo house, the "immortal doctor" looked at Bai Yi. But he did not see anything wrong with her. He asked in puzzlement, "Where is this girl not feeling well?"
Zhuang Liushi saw the "immortal doctor" directly ask Bai Yi and felt uncomfortable. She thought that Bai Yi was a fox demon that seduced others. Even the man she just met was asking her first. Zhuang Liushi squeezed to the front and smiled. "Immortal doctor, it's not her. I want to ask you to calculate for my son, see if he can be the top scholar, and also see how his marriage is and how his children are."
The "immortal doctor" nodded and gestured for Zhuang Yulang to sit down. He carefully looked at his face and palm. "This young master was born with poor fortune … …"
"Impossible!" Zhuang Liushi stood up and said agitatedly, "How can he be born with poor fortune? My son became a top scholar at his age. His future is bright. You can't … … "
"Mother, don't be impatient." Zhuang Yulang frowned and interrupted her, apologizing to the "immortal doctor."
The "immortal doctor" was used to this kind of scene and said calmly, "I'm not done yet. Although young master was born with poor fortune, he did a good deed and accumulated good karma. With the help of nobles, he will gain both fame and fortune. He will become the prime minister."
Zhuang Liushi had just released a breath when she was dumbfounded. "What? Prime minister? Prime minister?! "
Zhuang Yulang was also shocked. "Immortal doctor, you, you really?"
The "immortal doctor" nodded. "Now it seems so. However, one's fate wasn't unchanging. It was just like how one's luck was originally poor, but because one did good deeds, one was rewarded with good fortune and good fortune. But if you don't cherish your fortune in the future, or offend the nobles, your fortune will change again. What will become of you then, I can't see now. "
"Who is the nobles?" Zhuang Liushi asked nervously.
The "immortal doctor" shook his head gently. "I can only do it."
Zhuang Liushi said anxiously, "Tell us who it is. We will treat him well. Just his name."
"The secret cannot be revealed."
Bai Yi laughed. "What secret cannot be revealed? He can't calculate it, right?"
This time, she used Secret Voice-sending. Only Chu Xiang could hear her. Chu Xiang also laughed. "He is a snake demon who has only cultivated for three hundred years. It is very good that he can calculate so much."
"Xiang 'er, is your nobles me? I can help you become the prime minister? "
"Who else can it be other than you? The scholar has done such a good deed recently. "
Fortune tellers could never calculate things related to themselves, so this was the first time Bai Yi knew that she could help Zhuang Yulang so much. She was very happy. Finally, she did not have to worry about how to repay her benefactor. Although she didn't know exactly how to help, with the snake demon's prediction, she was finally relieved.
Zhuang Yulang got up and saw Bai Yi. "Immortal doctor, my cousin is a little unwell. Can I trouble you to take a look?"
The "immortal doctor" looked at Bai Yi. "Her body is fine."
"Then … can you let her rest here for a while?"
The "immortal doctor" was a little confused about why Bai Yi's face was ugly, but her body was fine. This was a case he had never encountered before. He pointed to the soft couch behind the curtain. "Rest there for a while and see if you get better."
Bai Yi was happy that Zhuang Yulang found her "unwell" and enjoyed his concern. She slowly walked behind the curtain and lay down on the soft couch. Zhuang Liushi was happy because she became the prime minister. She pulled Zhuang Yulang to ask the "immortal doctor" to calculate his marriage. Zhuang Yulang had no choice but to stay. Chu Xiang followed Bai Yi inside.
The "immortal doctor" calculated for a moment and said: "Gongzi's marriage is very good. You will marry a noble and virtuous wife. She will be able to protect gongzi's wealth for three generations."
"Really?! Ah, son, we finally made it! "Zhuang Liushi cried with joy and held Zhuang Yulang's hand tightly. Zhuang Yulang was happy and sad because the noble and virtuous wife who could help him was obviously not an orphan like Bai Yi. Bai Yi even took out her family's wealth to make travel expenses for him. How could she help him? But if he married a noble lady, where would Bai Yi go?
Zhuang Liushi wanted to ask again, but she saw the "immortal doctor's" face change and suddenly get up.
"I still have something to do. Please go ahead."
The "immortal doctor" hurried into the inner room and walked to the back door. Bai Yi and Chu Xiang looked at each other. Chu Xiang smiled and said: [He's really brave. A big monk came outside and scared him away!]
Bai Yi almost laughed out loud. [He's too brave, right? He's doing a good deed, not doing evil. Why is he so afraid of a monk?]
[Eh? That monk found him and chased after him. Let's go and take a look.] Chu Xiang pulled Bai Yi and ran out from the back door. Anyway, the Zhuang family's mother and son were in a bad mood and couldn't care about them.
Li Yufeng saw them running to join in the fun and stayed to help take the Zhuang family's mother and son out. Chu Xiang and Bai Yi ran into the depths of the bamboo forest and saw the big monk dragging an alms bowl to block the "immortal doctor". He frowned and said: "Snake demon? What are you trying to do by pretending to be a ghost here? "
Bai Yi snorted lightly. [Are all the righteous people like this? They don't ask about the right and wrong and just convict demons? Can't demons be good?]
[In their eyes, it's true. Only a minority can tolerate different kinds.]
[Fortunately, your Li Yufeng is in the minority. Otherwise, we'd be in trouble. He's much more powerful than this big monk.]
Chu Xiang smiled and said: [Don't worry, I won't let anyone become our trouble.]
The "immortal doctor" bowed respectfully and said: "Great master, you've misunderstood. I wasn't born here to do evil. I'm doing good deeds and helping people to eliminate their illnesses. If you don't believe me, you can ask around. "
"Hmph, if you didn't do anything wrong, why did you run away when you saw me?"
"I didn't want to be misunderstood by others and have a confrontation like this happen. I've been living here for more than three years. I've been doing good deeds and concentrating on cultivation. I've never had a trace of evil thoughts. I hope the great master can see it clearly. "
The big monk didn't buy it and said coldly: "I think you're deceiving people with your lies. I don't know what method you used to confuse innocent people. Since I've met an evil beast like you today, how can I let you live? "
The big monk attacked without saying anything. The snake demon only defended and didn't attack. It obviously didn't want to hurt people, and it didn't seem to have any fighting experience. Bai Yi tilted her head and said: [Why is he so tolerant? That old bald donkey is too much. He directly sentenced him to a crime. Is he waiting to be caught if he doesn't fight back?]
Chu Xiang picked up a few leaves and played with them in her hand. [Some people might have rules for cultivation, such as not killing, not eating meat, not being close to women, and so on.]
Bai Yi said in surprise: [If there's no fun at all, what's the point of cultivation?]
Chu Xiang looked at her and smiled. [How do you know there's no fun? Just like when I asked you why you pretended to be an orphan and suffered in the Zhuang family, didn't you also think that it's good to be with a scholar? This kind of thing, only people know it. Outsiders don't understand.]
Bai Yi looked at the snake demon being bullied by the monk and suddenly thought of Chu Xiang. Did she feel the same way when she looked at her? She hated iron for not becoming steel. Her cultivation was obviously very high, so why was she being bullied?
They might have some restrictions on themselves because of this and that. At this moment, Bai Yi suddenly had a feeling of sympathy for the snake demon, and the big monk was even more unpleasant to the eye.
Bai Yi flashed out and slapped the big monk on the back, sending him flying. Chu Xiang quickly caught up. Before the big monk could see clearly who did it, the big monk fainted.
This time, they didn't restrain their demon aura. The snake demon looked at them in surprise. "Two ladies, aren't you the one just now … Are you fox demons?!"
Bai Yi glanced at him. "This monk will definitely not let it go. Why are you entangled with him? Anyway, you can't stay in this bamboo forest. It's better to end the battle quickly and leave. "
The snake demon looked at the fainted big monk and sighed. "I have been in this cluster for three years. I wanted to try to convince him to let me stay, but he didn't seem to believe that I had no evil intentions."
The snake demon cupped his hands. "Thank you seniors for your help. My name is Bai You. May I know where seniors are going?"
As a demon, Chu Xiang felt that Bai You's temper was super good. He gave people a feeling like a spring breeze. He didn't seem like a snake demon, but more like a tree demon. She walked to Bai Yi and asked, "Where are you going? Are you willing to go with us? "
Bai Yi was confused. "Why do we have to go together?"
Chu Xiang shrugged. "Because you don't understand the rules of the world. But Bai You does. If we go together, it's best for him to tell you."
Bai Yi still didn't understand. "Then … can't you just tell me?"
How could Chu Xiang be willing to answer a hundred thousand questions? She blinked. "I don't understand either. What I know is told by Yu Feng. I don't know as much as Bai You. Bai You, are you coming with us? We're going to the capital to accompany Bai Yi's benefactor for the exam. "
When Bai You saw Bai Yi and heard that Zhuang Yulang was Bai Yi's benefactor, he immediately connected the previous deduction. He was enlightened. "No wonder that young master's fate changed so much. So his benefactor is senior. With your help, he can gain both fame and fortune. "
The intuition of a demon was always very accurate. Although it was Bai You's first time meeting them, he didn't know why he felt that he should go with them. Once this thought popped up, he didn't look into it. He just followed his intuition. "Since seniors invited me, then this one will respectfully accept. This one will go with you to the capital."
Chu Xiang patted Bai Yi and smiled. "How about we let him go with us as the 'immortal doctor'? Zhuang Liushi will definitely be respectful and won't dare to be impudent. The journey will be peaceful. "
Bai Yi thought about the scene and found it funny. "Alright, that's great. Every time I hear her nagging, I'm annoyed to death. Then Bai You, get a carriage and go with us. Remember to talk to that woman more. Don't let her pester me. "
"Yes, senior." Bai You's temper was good. He didn't ask why and directly agreed.
Of course, it was best to meet by chance. So Chu Xiang and Bai Yi went back first and pretended to go to the outhouse. Then, they transmitted their voice to Li Yu Feng and told him what happened.
They drove two carriages and met Bai You by chance at the intersection of the next town. Zhuang Liushi was indeed the most excited one. When she heard that Bai You was going to the capital, she immediately asked him to go with them. She hoped that she could ask him about fate on the way. So the group entering the capital had one more person.
