Seeing that the two of them were chatting more and more happily, Gu Jiali pointed to the restaurant opposite and asked considerately: "How about we order a few dishes and eat and chat?"
The Taoist priest turned to look at the restaurant, then touched his withered belly, squinted his eyes and asked Gu Jiali: "Young master, do you mind if I call out a few more people? My companions are all still hungry."
Gu Jiali nodded, "Call."
Not long after, Taoist Priest Wuyou came back with a group of beggars of different heights.
The young Taoist priest who went home crying to find his mother was also there. When he entered the door and saw the handsome young man standing next to Shen Qingqing, he was so shocked that he slapped his thigh.
"Wow, Shen Dao's friendly skills are not only excellent in Taoism, but also his ability to choose men. He changes two men every month, which is really enviable for people like me who can't find a wife."
Everyone in the room was frightened by his shocking words.
The person involved didn't notice it yet, touched his chin and commented on Gu Jiali's appearance enthusiastically: "This one is not as good-looking as the last one, but it has a different smell."
Gu Jiali asked him expressionlessly: "What does it smell like?"
Xiaodao answered honestly: "Wenwen is weak and very easy to bully."
Zhiyi laughed when he heard this. After smiling, he gave him a sympathetic look and whispered: "Brother, take care."
Xiaodao didn't understand why, so he turned his head and saw Gu Jiali looking at him with a frown, his eyes as cold as ice.
Gu Jiali lifted up his robe, sat on the bench next to him, and said softly: "With your poor judgment and understanding, you still need another ten or eight years to practice before you want to start a family. But by then, you will be old and have a family." It’s even more false.”
Xiaodao: "?"
He turned to look at Shen Qingqing and asked, "What does he mean?"
Shen Qingqing explained kindly: "He said you have bad eyesight and bad brain, and you will never be able to get a wife in this life."
Xiaodao: "..." It hurts my heart.
Taoist priest Wuyou stepped forward at the right time to explain the relationship between the two. Xiaodao blushed and hid in a corner and became silent.
Everyone laughed and chose their seats and waited for the food to be served.
Shen Qingqing had eaten too much for breakfast, and now she had no appetite at all. She sat down, holding chopsticks in her hands, but thinking about other things.
The puppets were numerous and difficult to deal with. It would be a disadvantage if they fought head-on. It would be great if they could be trapped in a formation. Without minions to get in the way, she could confidently and boldly confront Chen Bitian.
I didn't mention this before because I lacked available people, but now God has sent helpers to me, so there's no need to feel regretful.
She has always dared to think and act. After making up her mind, she directly told everyone her thoughts. Finally, she said: "This matter has certain risks. It doesn't matter if you don't want to participate. It's understandable."
The young man Xiaodao immediately answered: "Fellow Daoist Shen, what you said is really irritating. We have a life-long friendship, and you are also our savior. How can we sit idly by when our benefactor is in trouble?"
He blinked his eyes and said with a proud expression, "I have been guided by Taoist Master Wuyou during this period, and my Taoism has improved by leaps and bounds. I will definitely be able to help this time!"
"You can pull him down." Another Taoist priest laughed at him, "I wonder who the kid was so scared that he peed his pants last time?"
"What kid? It's obviously an evil ghost, okay? He has no eyes or nose, he's so scary!" Xiaodao lost face and started to argue with him while holding his neck.
Old Taoist Wuyou was used to this scene. He shook his head helplessly and looked at Shen Qingqing: "Friend Daoist Shen, I know what you are worried about. I want to tell you that you don't have to worry too much. We are willing to fight side by side with you today. Fighting is not just about repaying life-saving kindness."
His voice was extremely hoarse, but it carried inspiring power, "What's more important is that we, like you, have the passion to uphold justice and eliminate evil and evil spirits. We are fighting this battle not for you, but for you."
All the people in the world."
The others all agreed, their dusty and dirty faces full of enthusiasm.
Shen Qingqing was moved and toasted everyone with tea instead of wine, "I won't say any more hypocrisy. We will win this battle!"
"Must win!"
Cups clinked and clinked, and laughter spread everywhere.
Gu Jiali looked at the smiling woman in the crowd and raised the corners of his lips unconsciously.
The heart under the chest was hot, as if it was infected by everyone's warm blood, or as if it was beating crazily for something else.
After drinking tea, Shen Qingqing didn't even eat. He went to the private room on the second floor to draw the formation flag, and copied the detailed operation techniques and formulas on paper for everyone to circulate.
In the afternoon, Gu Jiali's subordinates who stayed outside the city also rushed to Xiangcheng one after another. Together with the dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled people sent by Qi Sheng, they barely managed to make up 200 people.
Everything is ready now, all we need is a suitable time to enter the mountain.
Shen Qingqing asked Zhiyi to go to the Ning family and ask Hanyan to go up the mountain to inquire about the situation. While waiting for the results, Ning Youan came.
The man's eyes were covered with two lumps of black and blue, sickly, like eggplants beaten by frost. When he saw Shen Qingqing, he gave Shen Qingqing a hateful look.
"Shen Qingqing, I trust you so much, how could you lie to me?"
Shen Qingqing suddenly realized that Hanyan must have had a showdown with him when she went back last night, and this time she came to ask her to accuse him.
She raised her right hand and said categorically: "Conscience of heaven and earth, I hid that thing for your own sake. If you knew the truth, would you still be living so happily during this period?"
"It seems to make some sense." Ning Youan dragged his feet and sat down on the bench, his expression still depressed, "What did you ask her to do? In a hurry, without even leaving a word."
Shen Qingqing looked at him with half a smile, "Are you worried about her?"
Ning Youan touched his chin uncomfortably, but he was calm: "I have always been sympathetic to women."
"Yes, I understand." Shen Qingqing chuckled, "Don't worry, I just let her inquire about the situation. There will be no danger."
Ning Youan nodded, and after a moment of silence he said, "Are you short of manpower? You even invited beggars."
"No." Shen Qingqing said with a smile, "Master Ning, do you want to accompany me into battle to kill the enemy?"
"I'm serious. If there's a shortage of people, I have dozens of people over there. If that's not enough, I'll call my dad and my uncle too."
Shen Qingqing clicked her tongue, "Ning Youan, you are so filial."
After a pause, he continued: "The situation over there is special and we don't need your help for the time being. Just go home and wait."
"No need, then I'll go back. It's finally a sunny day. It'll be nice to walk around and have a cup of tea."
Ning Youan sat up slowly, stretched, and walked to the door. Halfway there, he suddenly turned around, looked at Shen Qingqing seriously and said, "Shen Qingqing, you must come back safely."
Shen Qingqing curled her lips, "Yes, I will treat you to spicy hotpot when I come back."
"It's delicious. Tuanzi will be very happy to know it."
Ning Youan smiled softly and said, "Thank you."
I didn’t say who I was thankful for, and I didn’t say why I was thankful.
Because everything is left unsaid. This chapter has been completed!
