As the sun set, Mingwei and Ji Xiaowu checked out of the room.
They met Tang Shao at the door of the inn.
"It's so late, and the second young master hasn't gone back yet?" Ji Xiaowu asked hypocritically.
Taoist priest Jin, who was eating grilled fish over there, came over and said, "Miss Mingqi hasn't come back yet, how can he go back with confidence? Hey, Miss Mingqi, are you okay?"
Mingwei bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your concern. It's nothing serious."
Taoist priest Jin said: "You are a girl and you are from out of town. How come you have enemies? You are scared to death."
Ming smiled and said, "My daughter is very surprised to meet you thousands of miles away. Fortunately, there is a Taoist priest who helps me. Thank you very much."
Taoist Master Jin waved his hand: "Come on, please don't be rude to me. You were the one who beat that kid away. I didn't go over to scare him. I'm sorry for thanking you so much."
Ming smiled.
Taoist priest Jin took the opportunity to ask her some questions, such as what was going on in Mingxiao's painting and how she broke through the illusion.
Mingwei answered them one by one, and Taoist Master Jin nodded repeatedly and said boldly: "Master Taoist has been traveling in the world for so many years, and I have never seen anyone as generous as you. Master Taoist will remember this favor!"
Everyone is an expert, and Taoist Master Jin knows that what she just said are key points, and if it were anyone else, he might not be willing to disclose them.
While they were talking, two girls came over with the Tang family's carriage.
Taoist priest Jin continued to eat grilled small fish. Ji Xiaowu saw that he was eating well and bought two of them.
Tang Shao then took the opportunity to talk to Mingwei.
However, before he could think of how to speak, Mingwei took the lead and said, "Second Young Master, do you have something to ask?"
"..." Tang Shao said, "Originally, there is, but seeing Miss Mingqi like this, there seems to be no need to ask."
Mingwei didn't say much, just smiled and nodded, and then got into the carriage with the two maids.
Tang Shao stood silently on the roadside, watching the carriage return to Tang Mansion first.
Over there, Ji Xiaowu and Jin Daozhang each came over with a pack of grilled fish.
Taoist priest Jin said: "Tang Er, are you okay? If nothing happens, we will go back."
Ji Xiaowu said sourly: "It was fine from the beginning, but I have to stay until now."
Taoist priest Jin laughed slyly: "Hey, if you see through it, don't say anything about it!"
Ji Xiaowu continued to be sour: "If you don't tell me, can you pretend it doesn't exist? People still have to accept reality and don't always harbor unrealistic delusions."
"Hahahaha, little brother is right. Tang Er, do you think so?"
As the two sang together, Tang Shao's mood became even more subtle.
After returning to the Tang Mansion, Ji Xiaowu returned to the guest house. Tang Shao asked Taoist Jin: "Does the Taoist know the origin of that person?"
"It's a bit weird." Taoist Master Jin said and asked his boy for tea.
Tang Shao asked: "Who is weird?"
"Both of them are weird." Taoist Master Jin said while drinking tea. "Their techniques seem to come from the same sect. But their attitudes towards each other are the same as enemies. Such a powerful disciple can teach
It’s not easy to have one, but there are two. Do you think it’s weird?”
Tang Shao thought thoughtfully: "Even the Taoist priest doesn't know, is there still such a mysterious hidden sect in this world?"
"This is amazing." Taoist priest Jin said with a smile, "This Miss Ming Qi is as powerful as the head of the Xuanmen sect. If her sect is full of such people, wouldn't it be the world's Xuanmen?
Dominate?"
Tang Shao remained silent.
Taoist priest Jin snickered and asked him: "I see you are really interested in her. Are you in love with her?"
Tang Shao had a headache: "Taoist priest, don't talk nonsense, she has a fiancé."
Taoist priest Jin disagreed: "What's the point? Her fiancé is far away in Northern Qi. Who knows whether this marriage will happen. If you are really interested, there is no harm in keeping her. To be honest, in your situation, marrying her is better than marrying her.
It would be much more appropriate to marry a lady from one of those aristocratic families."
He listed the benefits one by one: "Look, first of all, she can follow you wherever you go, and you don't have to stay in the Tang family to guard the empty room. Secondly, she has a good background and has all the etiquette.
In the circle of aristocratic families, you don't have to worry about her not being able to adapt. And thirdly, she has the ability to help you take care of things inside and out. Wouldn't she be more capable than those ladies from aristocratic families?"
At this point, she glanced at him and continued: "Of course, the most important point is that you are really unusual for her! Let me tell you, Tang Er, have you noticed that since you met her, the number of times you talk about her is a bit...
How much? To be honest, when you have nothing to do, do you often think about this person?"
"..." Tang Shao rubbed his forehead, "Taoist Priest, I have a lot of things to worry about right now, so please don't cause any trouble."
"What troubles you?" Taoist Master Jin disagreed, "Your grandmother urges you to get married every day. This is the biggest trouble. What the Taoist told you is serious!"
Tang Shao was speechless.
He couldn't help but wonder why every time he talked about this girl with Taoist Jin, the topic would be brought up in this aspect? Could it be that he...
Tang Shao's heart trembled, and he frowned and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Taoist Master Jin reflected on whether he had spoken too harshly. After thinking about it, he tried to bring the topic back: "Okay, okay, relax! Since I have eaten your food, I will naturally send it to the Buddha."
Xi. I don’t know when Miss Ling will come again. If this crisis is not resolved, Master Tao will just stay in the Tang family."
"...Thank you, Taoist Master."
Taoist Master Jin patted him on the shoulder: "Master Tao has gone to bed, don't think too much about it!"
After that, pat your butt and leave.
Tang Shao was left alone, and his thoughts became even heavier.
He remembered that during the day, before Ji Xiaowu came, he stayed by Mingwei's side.
She seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, her brows were furrowed tightly, her face was filled with tears in her sleep, and she occasionally uttered a few words, shouting the word "Master".
Taoist priest Jin added that the person who attacked her looked like a fellow disciple of hers.
Does she also have such troubles?
…
The next day I kept my eyes peeled, Mingwei wandered around and went to the garden.
At the turn of spring and summer, snakes and insects are out in force. Recently, Wen Xiuyi has been focusing on catching insects and practicing Gu.
She looked like a snake, insect, rat, or ant, and looked disgusting. Wherever she was, no one else dared to go.
When Mingwei left, she was the only one squatting in the corner of the garden, digging a hole and burning something.
"Ms. Wen, good morning!"
Wen Xiuyi glanced at her and ignored her.
Mingwei didn't care and slowly walked behind her.
After a while, Wen Xiuyi scratched her hair anxiously: "Where are the insects? Why are they gone?"
She turned her head and glared at Mingwei: "Are you the one doing something wrong?"
Mingwei spread his hands innocently: "Miss Wen, I'm standing here and doing nothing. Don't frame someone for nothing!"
"It was great just now, but it disappeared as soon as you came. Isn't it you or who?"
"How do I know this? Maybe you have already captured them all?"
Wen Xiuyi thought about it, and it seemed that this was really possible, so she changed places and continued.
However... there is still nothing, not even one.
Mingwei smiled while watching, moved her fingers in her sleeves, and touched the head of the little white snake.
It has eaten so many poisons that it is no different from the King of Poisons now.
There is a Gu King here, which insect dares to come? (To be continued)
