Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 233

Gu Jialing said, “Could it be that Xiao Heng’s cultivation level is higher than yours?”

Xie Jingyuan squinted at him, “If I am not, how will I know the depth of his cultivation?”

Xu Shou said, “Looking at his age, his cultivation should not be as good as yours.”

Gu Jialing asked, “How can you tell? Looking at the Taoist master, I can tell he is two or three years older than him.”

Xie Jingyuan: “,…”

Xu Shou still answered Gu Jialing, “The Taoist master is a genius, and Senior Sun and Senior Wang are not as good as the Taoist master after decades of practice. How can Xiao Heng be the Taoist master’s opponent?”

“What if Xiao Heng is also a heavenly genius? He also came from a Taoist temple, maybe their ancestors are more powerful than Qingxu Temple’s ancestors!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky.

The four of them raised their heads, and saw that the sky was still clear there, but there was a large dark cloud billowing in the distance.

In fact, around the Dragon Boat Festival was the season when the weather was changeable, but Gu Jialing just said something bad about the patriarch, and there was thunder over there…

Thinking that a phantom left by the patriarch could kill a thousand-year-old demon, cold sweat broke out from Gu Jialing’s back, and he bowed to the cloud repeatedly, “Patriarch, calm down! You are the most powerful, and your disciples are also the best! They are stronger than that Ziyun Palace!”

Seeing that thundercloud was still approaching there at a speed visible to the naked eyes, Xie Jingyuan frowned and said, “Let’s go back to the inn first.”

Needless to say, Gu Jialing had already started running, and Su Miaomiao couldn’t turn into a cat on the street, but she could run very fast.

Just when the four of them saw the signboard of the inn, the raindrops began to fall.

Apart from the sword, Xie Jingyuan also carried an umbrella on his back.

He went down the mountain to eliminate demons, those were necessary things, and he was used to bringing them with him.

When the first drop of rain hit his face, Xie Jingyuan glanced at Su Miaomiao, and immediately took the umbrella and opened it.

Seeing that, Su Miaomiao turned around and ran over. Xie Jingyuan was about to give her the umbrella, but Su Miaomiao went around behind him and jumped onto his back.

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

“You carry me on your back, I don’t want to get my shoes wet.”

When Su Miaomiao hooked his neck, and raised her feet forward, Xie Jingyuan saw a pair of small and delicate clean embroidered shoes with white soles protruding from the bottom.

Afraid that he would not understand, Su Miaomiao explained in his ear, “that’s an illusion.”

The two beautiful feet suddenly turned into a pair of cat’s claws.

After a pause, Xie Jingyuan asked her to hold the umbrella, and he supported her knees with both hands.

The rain came quickly and densely. Fortunately, there was no wind, and an umbrella was enough to protect the two of them.

The people on both sides were running wildly, and it was inconvenient for Xie Jingyuan to run because he was carrying her on his back.

Xie Jingyuan had a different feeling. The dress she transformed with cat fur was soft and seemed to be layered, but as it was attached to his back like that, it seemed to be nothing.

Without clothes to block, there was only…

What he saw by the river and what he saw in his dream came to his mind again.

“Why are the Taoist master’s ears red?” Su Miaomiao quickly noticed the red ears in front of her.

“… It’s just running.”

Su Miaomiao looked at the people passing by. Everyone was in a hurry and ran very fast, but she didn’t see anyone with red ears.

Was the Taoist master’s cultivation in vain?

But she had personally seen the Taoist master deal with three thousand-year-old demons at the same time with his strength.

It was so strange that Su Miaomiao couldn’t figure it out.

However, she was more concerned about another matter, and asked him in a low voice, “Taoist Master, who is stronger between you and Xiao Heng?”

Xie Jingyuan asked back, “Does it matter?”

“If the Taoist master is powerful, I won’t have to be afraid of him. If he is more powerful, I have to leave quickly to avoid being caught by him.”

Xie Jingyuan said, “He is not as good as me.”

“Really? Doesn’t it mean that you can’t compare without a fight?”

If he knew that earlier, why should he be humble?!

The torrential rain was pouring, and the entrance of the inn was full of footprints of others, mixed with some yellow mud.

Xie Jingyuan walked all the way to the stairs leading to the second floor before letting Su Miaomiao down.

There were a lot of people gathered in the lobby to shelter from the rain, and they didn’t think the scene was too strange. After all, half of the Taoist masters could get married, not to mention the beauty, could get a cold in the rain.

Through the open window, the damp rain came in, which was very cool.

Gu Jialing walked back and forth excitedly, “After three days, 60,000 taels will be in hand!”

Xie Jingyuan looked at them, and said, “That day’s battle, you also contributed to the protection of the temple. I will give you 10,000 taels each, and the rest will be used for the temple. How about it?”

Gu Jialing looked at Su Miaomiao. She had no objection, so he agreed.

Su Miaomiao said something else, “I have 10,000 taels, but the Taoist master promised to give me a gift, so I have to get the money from the Taoist master.”

Gu Jialing agreed, “Yes, yes, this cannot be confused with that.”

Xu Shou interfered, “It’s useless for me to ask for money, and I’m willing to hand it over to the Taoist master for distribution.”

Gu Jialing finally knew why Xu Shou didn’t bully others, but he liked Su Miaomiao even more. Hearing Xu Shou’s words, he was deliberately against him.

After discussing the distribution of money, Gu Jialing started talking about Xiao Heng again, and said to Xie Jingyuan, “After we get the money, you should hurry to the silk store to make two new Taoist robes. You are obviously better looking than Xiao Heng.”

Su Miaomiao nodded agreeingly. The Taoist master’s robe was rough, and it was not comfortable to rub against it.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at her and said, “For a cultivator, clothing that could cover the body is enough.”

He liked to be shabby, so Gu Jialing went to discuss with Su Miaomiao about going to the silk and satin store to buy satin.
