After sending off the slightly regretful Zhao Wenrong, Lu Zheng noticed Shen Ying's mouth was twitching slightly, clearly trying hard to suppress a laugh and maintain composure.
"Just laugh if you want to, don't hold it in until you cramp!" Lu Zheng said grumpily.
"Heeheehee!" Shen Ying's beautiful face lit up as she laughed heartily and said, "I wonder if there's a direct lineage of the Taiqing Face Reading Skill in the White Cloud Temple. Why not learn it, Lu Lang? It might co in handy soday."
Lu Zheng rolled his eyes, "Do you think soone like the Daoist Ancestor needs skills like face reading or divination?"
"No?" Shen Ying asked curiously, "I see Daoist Mingzhang and Daoist Yuan Jing are often interpreting fortunes for the devotees, aren't they?"
Lu Zheng replied, speechless, "That's the 'White Cloud Divination' compiled by generations of seniors at the temple. Do you think a devotee without any magical enhancent could divine accurately just by drawing a lot?"
"Hmm..." Shen Ying blinked and nodded, "Got it. Just like my Peach Blossom Blessing Curse, it's not ant to bless everyone. Most people only seek peace of mind."
Lu Zheng nodded, "Exactly. If soone is sincere, my master can naturally see it. If they're in trouble, he will lend a helping hand."
Just like the Peach Blossom Fairy sculpture responds to the Peach Blossom Blessing Curse, Daoist Mingzhang would selectively give out Peace Talismans, Exorcism Talismans, and Peaceful Heart Talismans, providing so help to people.
"You and Zhao Wenrong have beco acquainted in an unusual way, right?" Shen Ying laughed.
"What do you an by unusual way, like we fought or sothing?" Lu Zheng shrugged, "If we really fought, could he have survived well?"
"Yeah, right!"
Shen Ying giggled, took Lu Zheng's arm, spent another half day admiring the peach blossoms, and then returned to Taohua Village to invite the still unsatisfied Tu Yuya off the card table.
"See you tomorrow!"
Tu Yuya enthusiastically shouted to the few Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens and tucked the bulging money bag into her arms.
The few Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens were speechless.
They didn't expect that not only was their cultivation inferior, but even their card skills, which they practiced daily, were surpassed by soone else in a short ti. People really can't be compared!
After dinner, Tu Yuya didn't return to Tonglin County but stayed overnight at Taohua Village.
Lu Zheng blinked and whispered to Shen Ying, "Shouldn't she go back to teach Qingyan the Cultivation Technique?"
Shen Ying replied in a whisper, "She said it's more lively here than at the Liu Family, and Tu Yuqing is more suitable for teaching Qingyan."
Lu Zheng, "..."
Feels like among the Tu Family's Three Sisters, only the second sister, Tu Yuqing, is a bit reliable.
...
Lu Zheng spent the night at Taohua Village, with blossoms blooming all around.
...
Early the next morning, Lu Zheng returned to Tonglin County. As soon as he arrived ho, he saw Tu Yuqing leisurely sitting on the deck chair in Lu Zheng's courtyard, sipping tea and reading under the dappled sunlight.
Today, however, the book had changed to "My Two or Three Things With the White Fox Fairy."
Lu Zheng blinked, wondering if he had been too hasty in thinking only Tu Yuqing was reliable among the Tu Family's Three Sisters?
"Is the eldest sister still at Taohua Village?" Seeing Lu Zheng return, Tu Yuqing asked.
Lu Zheng nodded, "In the morning, she was playing tennis with a few Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens."
Restraining their cultivation to play tennis and volleyball is a sort of signature activity for the Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens. Didn't expect Tu Yuya to be interested too.
Thinking of this, and looking at the book-holding Tu Yuqing, Lu Zheng suddenly realized.
All three sisters of the Tu Family love entertainnt; it's just that their preferred forms and ways of entertainnt vary.
Tu Yuqing sighed softly, "The eldest sister is always away from ho, and the youngest sister only knows how to play. It's too hard to manage them..."
Compared to that, Tu Yuqing, who only likes reading novels, is actually the least troubleso.
Thinking of this, Tu Yuqing looked at Lu Zheng, her eyes shining, "Young Master Lu, please sit. I've read "Liang and Zhu," "A Chinese Ghost Story," and "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow." They're all rare masterpieces. You must have other stories, right? When will you write them?"
Lu Zheng: Õ_Õ
Alright, maybe not that trouble-free after all…
"Let think... let think..."
Under Tu Yuqing's sowhat dissatisfied gaze, Lu Zheng uttered a perfunctory lie and then dashed out to Renxin Hall.
After greeting Elder Liu and Du Yueyao, Lu Zheng sat down beside Liu Qingyan.
"Lu Lang!" Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Zheng, her eyes filled with tender affection.
Seeing there was only one patient consulting Du Yueyao, Lu Zheng gently embraced Liu Qingyan.
Then he saw Du Yueyao winking with a smile in their direction, while Liu Qingyan had already turned a rosy red, charmingly beautiful.
That's what makes Liu Qingyan special, frequently getting shy, and when she does, it's especially endearing.
"Tonight, I'd like to see your tail," Lu Zheng whispered.
Liu Qingyan's eyes widened, and her face turned a deep red in an instant.
Seeing she couldn't suppress the Red Pill Fragrance within her, Lu Zheng quickly changed the subject, "How's the cultivation of the Tushan Scripture going these days?"
Liu Qingyan took a breath, couldn't help casting a charming glance at Lu Zheng, and said softly, "Previously, Sister Yu Ya taught the general outline. Afterward, Sister Yu Qing has been explaining it to us personally each day, thoroughly and comprehensively. Qing Quan and I are progressing well, but father encounters obstacles at every step."
Liu Qingyan looked worriedly at Elder Liu. After all, he was elderly; his progress in cultivating the Celestial Demon Nine Transformations Blood Refining Technique and the Moonlight Scripture hadn't been swift. Even switching to the more suitable Tushan Scripture, it remained similarly slow.
But Liu Qingyan also knew there wasn't much they could do. After all, even among the entire Tushan Fox Race, who all practice the Tushan Scripture, few can cultivate to a very deep level.
"It's alright; once our cultivation is advanced, why worry about Uncle Liu's longevity?" Lu Zheng comforted.
Just like how neither he nor Lin Wan's modern-day parents couldn't cultivate much success on their own.
Might as well wait until their own cultivation is sufficient, then send them a Blessing Technique or refine an Immortal Pill for them to take—solved in one go.
If Shazam can do it, there's no reason I, Lu Zheng, cannot, right?
Liu Qingyan nodded upon hearing this. It was the only option left—doing one's best while leaving the rest to fate. Even among the heaven-blessed, there aren't many who achieve eternal life. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are common occurrences; not everyone can beco an Immortal, right?
Liu Qingyan affectionately leaned closer to Lu Zheng, "If I can spend a thousand years with Lu Lang, I would have no regrets in this life."
"A thousand years is not enough. At least ten thousand years is the baseline," Lu Zheng said, "And then we can explore other worlds."
Liu Qingyan smiled with her lips softly pressed, "Lu Lang loves to joke; ten thousand years, unless we both ascend to the Upper Realm and keep company with the Immortals."
Lu Zheng blinked, "That's a must!"
"Alright, alright!" Liu Qingyan laughed and, following Lu Zheng's words, said, "I also want to et the Ancestor who passed down the Tushan Fox Race to the Upper Realm."
