Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 227

Xie Jingyuan finished the last bite of tofu, got up and thanked the diners, and then led the three demons out.

Xu Shou was still the one driving the carriage.

Seeing that Su Miaomiao started eating snacks again, Gu Jialing asked strangely, “Are you not angry that they wanted to bully you?”

“Didn’t they get bullied?”

“That’s because we helped you!”

“I could have dealt with them if you didn’t interfere.”

Anyway, she was also a century-old demon, and it was easy to solve a few mortals.

“Okay, next time something like this happens, you can solve it yourself!”

Outside the carriage, Xu Shou looked at a group of thugs who appeared on the street, and there were even a few on horseback. He frowned and said, “Master, they are here again, this time there are more than thirty people.”

Su Miaomiao put down the big bowl of snacks and thought that it was her turn this time.

As a result, Xie Jingyuan suddenly picked up the long sword placed on the mahogany cabinet.

The next moment, the long sword came out of its sheath and flew out of the carriage.

Gu Jialing immediately raised the curtain, and Su Miaomiao watched the long sword flying straight toward the thugs, like a ray of light flying over the heads of the front thugs on horseback.

The long sword hit the opponent’s bun, and the strong wind moved his hair and scattered toward the rushing thugs.

Accompanied by the horrified screams of the riders, the thugs hurriedly stopped.

The long sword flew around the crowd, then flew back to the carriage, and sank into the scabbard with a “clang”.

The thugs did not chase after them, and the carriage gradually moved away from the town.

“The Taoist master is really powerful!” Gu Jialing looked at Xie Jingyuan’s sword with lingering fear, and felt that even if he flew out, at that speed, it could cut off his wings.

Xie Jingyuan closed his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Gu Jialing was quiet for a while, then suddenly smiled, took out something from his sleeve, and waved it in front of Su Miaomiao’s eyes.

“What is that?”

“That fat man’s purse!”

As he said that, he opened the money bag, and poured out two large ingots of five taels, a few pieces of silver, a few pieces of gold, and even a silver bill of fifty taels.

“This is enough for us to have a good meal on the road,” Gu Jialing said triumphantly.

Su Miaomiao rolled her eyes, put her legs away, patted her side, and asked him to come and sit.

Gu Jialing liked that very much, so he sat down and said domineeringly, “Peel me a few melon seeds, and I will treat you to meat.”

Su Miaomiao was afraid that he would renege on the debt, so she asked Gu Jialing to give her an ingot first.

The bank note was the most valuable, and Gu Jialing generously gave her one.

Su Miaomiao was very happy and hid the ingot, but stopped peeling the seeds for him because she had already allocated half of the seat to him.

No matter how rich Gu Jialing was, he couldn’t tolerate that kind of deceit, and rushed over to snatch the ingots back.

Su Miaomiao threw down the big bowl, turned around and dodged down, and hid directly by Xie Jingyuan’s side, pushing his shoulder so that she could hide behind.

Xie Jingyuan frowned, and looked at Gu Jialing coldly.

Gu Jialing had no choice but to retreat to his seat, and then asked Xie Jingyuan to uphold justice for him.

“If you promise to peel the melon seeds, you have to peel the melon seeds. If you don’t want to peel the melon seeds, return the money to me!”

“The five taels of ingot will give you half of the seat and peeling melon seeds is another price.”

Gu Jialing looked at Xie Jingyuan.

Xie Jingyuan lowered his eyes, which was almost equivalent to approving Su Miaomiao’s words.

Gu Jialing laughed angrily, raised his legs, and occupied the main couch.

Su Miaomiao was upset, she walked over, trying to pull Gu Jialing up.

Gu Jialing’s cultivation had increased, so how could Su Miaomiao be able to pull him?

She thought for a while, and suddenly sat on Gu Jialing’s stomach, using him as a cushion.

Gu Jialing rolled his eyes, sat up suddenly and hugged Su Miaomiao, stroking her arms, trying to snatch the ingot back.

Before Su Miaomiao had time to react, Xie Jingyuan slapped Gu Jialing’s back with his palm, making him directly turn into his original form.

The blue bird was knocked out, fell on the couch, swayed again, caught a glimpse of the familiar money bag from the corner of his eye, staggered toward it, and spread his wings to cover it.

Just as Su Miaomiao was about to steal it, Xie Jingyuan looked over and said sternly, “Don’t make trouble anymore.”

Su Miaomiao withdrew her hand embarrassingly.

Xie Jingyuan grabbed Gu Jialing with one hand, who grabbed the money bag, and moved them to the side seat together.

Gu Jialing protested in a low voice, “What did the Taoist Master move me for? I bought the seat with five taels of silver.”

Xie Jingyuan asked, “Where did the money come from?”

Gu Jialing: “Steal…”

He shut his mouth tightly.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at Su Miaomiao, and said coldly, “You are not allowed to sit on him again in the future.”

He was angry, so of course Su Miaomiao agreed.

Gu Jialing breathed a sigh of relief, the Taoist master had not been partial to her yet, and knew to protect him.

As the red sun slanted to the west, Gu Jialing poked his head out of the window and found a beautiful landscape outside.

But did Gu Jialing want a beautiful landscape? He wanted a town or county to eat delicious food.

Xu Shou said, “The horse has been walking for a day. I heard the sound of water ahead, so let’s sleep here tonight.”

Gu Jialing said, “Sleep here? Are you deliberately using this method to save money?”

Putting down the curtain, Gu Jialing retreated into the carriage, and looked resentfully at the Taoist master who was still meditating.
