Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 236

Su Miaomiao had a beauty that Xiao Heng had never seen before, but what attracted Xiao Heng more was her clear and pure eyes. It was also the lazy charm that Su Miaomiao exuded at any time. In short, when Xiao Heng first saw Su Miaomiao, his heart skipped a beat. After being with her all day, Xiao Heng couldn’t wait to keep Su Miaomiao by his side.

That morning, before the inn opened, Xiao Heng came over early and waited.

Coincidentally, when Xie Jingyuan opened the window, he saw the young Taoist master standing downstairs.

Before Xiao Heng raised his head, Xie Jingyuan left the window, and on his bed, Su Miaomiao was still sleeping soundly.

Xie Jingyuan closed the door, went downstairs, quickly brought two buckets of water up, one bucket was given to Xu Shou and Gu Jialing in the other room, and the other bucket was taken to his own room.

At that time, Su Miaomiao was still in her original form, and her tail was held in her arms.

Xie Jingyuan wet a handkerchief and wiped his face with his back to her.

Hearing the sound of water, Su Miaomiao stretched her waist, opened her eyes, and glanced at the Taoist master.

“Do you want to wash your face?” Xie Jingyuan looked back at her and asked.

Su Miaomiao nodded, and immediately, the cat on the bed disappeared, and there was a beauty with loose long hair, her cheeks were flushed from sleep, and her eyes remained blurred.

Xie Jingyuan sat by the window, facing the street. From the corner of his eye, he watched her every move. After she wiped her face, she took out a bronze mirror. Then she put the pile of jewelry that she bought all on the bed, and began to pick and choose.

“Taoist Master, does this hairpin look good, or this one?”

After choosing two, Su Miaomiao held a ruby ​​hairpin in one hand and a white pearl in the other, and asked Xie Jingyuan to help her make up her mind.

“The white one.”

Su Miaomiao said with a smile, “I also think the white one looks better.”

She combed her hair in a beautiful bun first, then put the pearl hairpin in her hair, and put a pair of white jade bracelets on her wrists.

While there was no one in the corridor, Su Miaomiao quietly went back to her room, and when Gu Jialing was woken up by Xu Shou, the four went downstairs together.

Seeing Xiao Heng, Gu Jialing greeted in surprise.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at him silently.

Gu Jialing couldn’t understand the complicated eyes of the master of Qingxu Temple, he had already walked to Xiao Heng’s side, and put his arms around him enthusiastically.

Those demons were more sensitive to smell, and Xiao Heng’s Jichimu wood smell among humans was the kind that was very easy to please demons.

Xiao Heng glanced at Su Miaomiao, and explained with a smile, “There is a restaurant that makes delicious breakfast in Fucheng, I would like to invite the four of you to go and have a taste.”

Hearing that, Gu Jialing and Su Miaomiao were very happy.

Xu Shou looked at the Taoist master, as he felt that he didn’t like Xiao Heng very much. The Taoist master’s face was uglier than usual. Although it was difficult for people who were not familiar with him to detect it, Xu Shou saw he had less of unhappiness, and was still immortal and extraordinary.

“Let’s go!” Seeing that Su Miaomiao was leaving with Xiao Heng, Xie Jingyuan whispered to Xu Shou.

Xiao Heng was very familiar with the delicious food and interesting places in Fucheng. With him as a guide, Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing had a great time.

At night, Xie Jingyuan left Xu Shou to protect the two, and he left for two hours.

At noon on the third day, Xiao Heng came again to the restaurant.

When Xu Shou carried the roll of fox fur on his back over, Xiao Heng also took out 60,000 taels of silver notes as promised.

Gu Jialing took it first, and then handed over a few bank notes to Xie Jingyuan for safekeeping on the grounds that it would be more reassuring to leave them with him.

When the deal was fulfilled, everyone concentrated on eating and drinking.

When Xiao Heng asked Gu Jialing what plans he had next, Gu Jialing subconsciously looked at Xie Jingyuan who said, “Master Su told me that he wants them to go back as soon as possible after selling the fur.”

Xiao Heng smiled and said, “It’s natural. Brother Su and Miss Su are young, and their father is definitely worried about them staying outside for too long. However, there will be a gourmet feast in the capital. Famous chefs from all over the world will gather. If Brother Su and Miss Su are interested, you can write a letter and ask Brother Xie to take it back for you, and then I will escort you to the capital. You can taste all the delicious food in the world, and you can also visit the jewelry stores in the capital. It’s comparable to an underworld city.”

Hearing the tempting offer, Gu Jialing and Su Miaomiao looked at Xie Jingyuan together.

Xie Jingyuan sent a voice transmission to the two demons, “There are so many cultivators in the capital, it’s hard to guarantee that no one will recognize your identities.”

Upon hearing that, the siblings rejected Xiao Heng’s invitation.

Food and jewelry were not as important as their lives.

Xiao Heng could vaguely see that both the brother and sister seemed to listen to Xie Jingyuan’s words, so he continued to invite Xie Jingyuan, using the name of Ziyun Palace. He felt that a Taoist master like Xie Jingyuan, who was not well-known, wouldn’t refuse to go to Ziyun Palace.

Xie Jingyuan said coldly, “No need.”

Then he took out two banknotes and two bills from his sleeve, and put them in front of Xiao Heng, and then said, “Brother Xiao, you have entertained us for the past three days, and it cost a lot of money, please check to see if there are any omissions.”

Xiao Heng took the notes and the bill in a daze, and then looked at the bill. It actually listed every expense he paid for the Su siblings including even the bowl of cold drink he bought for Su Miaomiao. 

Xiao Heng asked, “This is?”

Xie Jingyuan said, “Master Su has said that we can’t accept people’s kindness for nothing.”

When they were talking, Gu Jialing took the bill, and looked at it with Su Miaomiao, and asked Xie Jingyuan in shock, “Taoist Master, how did you get so much money?”

The shabbiness and stinginess of the Taoist master were obvious to all, but he suddenly took out a few hundred taels?

Xie Jingyuan explained, “Yesterday, I passed by a house with a demonic aura inside. These are my rewards for eliminating the demon for them.”

Xiao Heng: “…”

What evil spirit? He had been walking with the four of them. Xie Jingyuan could detect the evil spirit, but he didn’t. Didn’t it prove that his cultivation level was not as good as Xie Jingyuan’s?
