The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 124

Soon he knew what was wrong because Wu Zhen smiled at him and called him Master. Taoist Siqing was almost frightened by her smile. He shouted at her in shock, “Disciple Guyu, don’t scare me, what’s wrong with your face, why are you suddenly smiling?!”

Wu Zhen: “…”

She had thought that Taoist Master Siqing was a wise elder since he was highly respected and old, and that he would be more likely to accept the idea of body swapping. But Taoist Master Siqing was obviously the one who could not accept it the most.

Thinking she might as well give it a try, Wu Zhen told him about her identity, that she was the wife Mei Zhuyu married in Chang’an. However, Taoist Siqing stopped her from saying anything and said solemnly, “I don’t believe it.”

Wu Zhen: Tsk, what a difficult master.

After all, he was her husband’s elder, so Wu Zhen explained to him patiently, “Master, I’m not kidding, this is true. For some reason, we exchanged bodies, and now he is in my body…”

Taoist Siqing: “I won’t listen!”

Wu Zhen: “Listen to me!”

She took a breath, and regardless of Taoist Priest Siqing’s temper, she said directly, “In fact, we were planning to come together to visit you, Master, but we didn’t expect to encounter an evil monster on the way, and my husband was captured…”

Taoist Siqing interrupted again and said, “I knew it was a lie the moment I heard it. Disciple Guyu will not come back to visit me on his own initiative. When he was leaving the mountain, I was so angry that I told him he was no longer a member of Changxi Temple after leaving the mountain and should not come back. Based on Disciple Guyu’s temper, he will definitely not come back on his own initiative.”

Wu Zhen stopped talking and stared at him with a bit of hostility, “From what you said, it was you who drove him down the mountain?”

Taoist Siqing was also unhappy. He slammed the table and said angrily, “Did I want to drive him down the mountain? He listened to the stupid words his father left behind and insisted on going down the mountain! It’s a pity that he has such good qualifications. I haven’t seen one in many years. If it weren’t for the previous appointment, I would have wanted to pass Changxi Temple to him! But now, there has been no news since he came down the mountain. This is how he treats me, a lonely, pitiful, helpless, old, and weak master!”

Wu Zhen took a look at his body that was stronger than an ox and the chest muscles that were thumping from being beaten. She didn’t comment on the ‘lonely, pitiful, helpless, old and weak master’. She didn’t respond to his previous words but continued with what he said before, saying coldly, “You believe that we have swapped bodies, don’t you? Why are you pretending not to understand?”

Taoist Siqing was speechless for a moment and suddenly said with sorrow, “My disciple Guyu, how come he got married so soon? I was thinking that after he passes the calamity in his fate, I would let him come back to inherit my legacy. How come he really plunged into the love affairs of the world and couldn’t get out?! My most talented disciple! What a pity! What a pity!”

He was full of reluctance, sighing and beating his chest, “It was clear that Disciple Guyu had no interest in these love affairs before. If he had remained the same as before, he would have dominated the Taoist Sect and become the number one person in the Taoist Sect today!”

Wu Zhen didn’t expect him to have such ambitions and said, “…Master, calm down.”

Not only Wu Zhen but all the disciples in the room had obviously become accustomed to the way their master behaved. They all advised him to go back and copy more copies of the Pure and Tranquil Sutra and stop thinking about dominating the Taoist sect, which was an un-Taoist thing.

Taoist Siqing was barely persuaded by his pure-hearted and abstinent white-bearded disciples to stop talking. However, Wu Zhen felt that he stopped talking because he was annoyed by his disciples’ nagging.

Everyone finally accepted Wu Zhen’s words, heated up the new food, and started talking while eating in a very casual manner.

Taoist Siqing chewed two peppers that were so spicy they could make people lose their minds, and asked Wu Zhen, “Then what? You said that my disciple Guyu was abducted by that thing while in your body. Did you find anything afterwards?”

Wu Zhen stared at him cautiously and respectfully while chewing chili peppers without changing her expression. She felt that he was a true master and was convinced. She said, “Later, I went to the place where I found its traces before, but I didn’t find any traces of it and him. It seems that it hid. I think that thing knows my husband and may have had a grudge against him before. It also asked me to bring something to exchange with it. My husband should know what it wants, but I don’t. Master, do you know?”

Taoist Siqing didn’t say anything nonsensical and directly said two words, “I know.”

Wu Zhen was overjoyed, “Okay, Master, leave it to me.”

Taoist Siqing frowned, “When my disciple Guyu brought that thing back, he gave it to me and told me to keep it carefully. No matter what happens, even if he dies, I can’t take it out.”

Wu Zhen said indifferently and sincerely to Taoist Siqing, “Master, you see, I am Mei Zhuyu now. Since Mei Zhuyu gave the thing to you back then, there is absolutely no problem for Mei Zhuyu to ask you to take it out now, right?”

Taoist Siqing: It seems to be the case?

Wu Zhen patted his thick arm and continued, “Master, Mei Zhuyu entrusted this thing to you. It is only natural to hand it back to Mei Zhuyu now, right?”

Seeing that Taoist Siqing was hesitant, Wu Zhen took a step back and said, “Well, I don’t want you to give it to me, Master. It’s not too much to take me to see what it is, right?”

Taoist Siqing’s confused expression gradually became sharp. He stared at Wu Zhen and said, “Do you think I would be fooled by such a simple statement? You underestimate the old man. You keep saying that you were Guyu’s wife, but how do I know if it’s true? What you said is one-sided and cannot be believed. I think it is more likely that you were the evil monster who kidnapped Guyu, occupied his body, pretended to be someone else, and came to steal that thing.”

Wu Zhen: Wow, Master, you are really bold in thinking. It turns out to be quite reasonable when you think about it.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Taoist Siqing snorted coldly and said, “Your identity has been exposed by me, so what? Are you still going to pretend? Since you have entered our Changxi Temple today, don’t even think about leaving easily. Just surrender and release my disciple Guyu! Otherwise, don’t blame the Taoists in our Changxi Temple for being cruel and ruthless!”

Taoist Siqing revealed a ferocious look like a green forest hero.

“Master, calm down and control yourself,” the white-bearded old Taoist priest beside him advised sadly.

Unfortunately, they failed to persuade him.

Things were developing too quickly and in a strange direction.
