You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

On the thirteenth day of the lunar year, the eldest senior brother from the medicine pavilion and the second senior brother Song Yue came together and brought Shi Zelan a good news.

"Sister Lan, your junior uncle has returned to the sect. He said he will be here soon."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were both very happy.

Both Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng show signs of coming out of retreat soon, so they will feel more at ease if there are a few more people in the sect.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar year, Master Qijun suggested that everyone go to Yangzhou City to have some fun, and then head towards the mountains.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan both showed hesitation on their faces. The eldest brother and Song Yue said to them, "Go ahead. We'll go back after the fun is over."

Seeing that everyone was interested in going to Yangzhou Prefecture, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded silently.

They went out from the back mountain and rented a passing carriage to go to Yangzhou Prefecture.

On this day, Yangzhou Prefecture was very lively. Master Qijun and his entourage followed the dragon lantern performers along East Street, then went to South Street, and even turned a corner and followed them into the alley.

When it got dark, they followed the crowd in playing with lanterns.

In short, wherever there is a bustle, you can always see them.

There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and Master Qijun followed the crowd out of the city gate.

Outside the city gate, before walking towards the official road, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked back at Yangzhou Prefecture, and then they turned back again.

At first, they had many like-minded people and were happily discussing the excitement of this year.

Master Qijun and his group also joined in the fun, and gradually, they were the only ones left on the road.

Master Qijun floated away, and the eldest brother and Songyue said to Shi Xiaoliu and the other three, "Let's go, follow him."

They quickly returned to the top of the mountain. There was a moon in the sky and a ray of light came through the door of Master Decheng's residence.

Shi Xiaoliu was very excited: "Master."

No one responded to him, so Qijun Zhenren said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Xiaoliu, your master is about to come out of retreat.

This place is too close to the official road. He will go to the mountains to make the golden elixir. You stay with me."

After Shi Xiaoliu nodded, Master Qijun said to Xia Yu, Shi Zelan and Wanyu: "The three of you will stay and guard the top of the mountain. Can you protect the top of the mountain?"

"Yes, we can."

Xia Yu and the other two readily agreed.

Qijun Zhenren said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, your junior master should be on his way.

If your junior uncle hadn't come when your master came out of retreat, how could we have come back alone?"

"Uncle Jun, I understand."

"Snapped."

A golden light shone through Master Decheng’s residence, and soon his door opened.

He saw the people guarding outside his residence and said to Master Qijun, "Where are you going?"

After Master Qijun pointed in a direction, Master Decheng nodded and looked at Master Shanzheng's residence.

Master Decheng reached out to collect the residence and said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, your master should be coming out of retreat soon."

He then said to the eldest brother of the Medicine Pavilion, "You stay here. We can't be without someone to take care of things at this time."

"it is good."

The eldest senior brother agreed, and he exchanged glances with Songyue.

Master Decheng had already flown away on his sword. Master Qijun took out the flying boat and directly invited Songyue and Shi Xiaoliu to get on the flying boat.

A brilliant firework flashed across the sky, lighting up half the sky.

On the flying boat, Master Qijun told Master Decheng the location and said they would stay not far away. There was an empty spot on the top of the mountain. Songyue brushed the ground a few times, and the ground returned to the state of newly grown grass.

Shi Zelan looked at the residence of Master Shanzheng, and said to Xia Yu and Wan Yu who were accompanying her, "You guys go back to your room. I'll go sit on the roof for a while."

The eldest brother heard what Shi Zelan said and said to her, "You should go back to your room too. I'll stay outside."

Shi Zelan shook his head at him: "Big Brother, I'm sitting on the roof.

Senior Brother, please go back to your room. If there is anything, I will knock on your door."

The eldest brother thought about it and finally turned around and went into the room.

Shi Zelan went up to the roof, and Xia Yu and Wan Yu followed her up to the roof.

Xia Yu said to Shi Zelan, "I'll sit with you on the roof for a while. When your master comes out of seclusion, you will follow him and leave here."

Shi Zelan looked at the expression on his face and said, "Xia Yu, don't worry, there must be someone guarding the top of the mountain with you."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "I know. My uncle said a few days ago that he would come over."

Wanyu closed her eyes and meditated, and soon she could no longer hear the voices of Shi Zelan and Xia Yu.

Shi Zelan turned around and glanced at Wanyu, then said to Xia Yu, "Has Wanyu's family had a lot of problems in the past few years?"

Xia Yu glanced at Wan Yu and said to Shi Zelan, "She always thought that her father and mother loved her very much in front of others, but in recent years, she knows that her father and mother's feelings for her have become dull."

Shi Zelan looked up at the sky and said to Xia Yu, "I wonder how long it will take for my father and mother to return to the sect?
After they come back, they probably won’t love me too much.”

"They haven't seen you for so long, they will definitely make it up to you."

Shi Zelan listened to Xia Yu's words and whispered to him, "I used to think like this, but after that sudden pain that I couldn't bear, I didn't dare to think like that anymore."

Xia Yu was silent for a while, then said, "We cultivators shouldn't have so many concerns.

"When your father and mother return to the sect, if, I mean if, they treat you badly, it's probably for the sake of your cultivation."

"puff.

Xia Yu, you are very good at comforting people."

"Are you feeling good now?"

Shi Zelan nodded and said to Xia Yu, "I'm in a good mood right now.

Wanyu and I are here, you can go back and meditate and practice."

Xia Yu looked at Shi Zelan's relaxed brows, and he flew down.

"Sister Lan, he treats you very well, even better than he treated me before."

Wan Yu opened her eyes and looked at Shi Zelan, saying, "I now regret my engagement with him more and more. It was the best decision I ever made."

"Now that you see him being nice to other people, are you still sad?"

Wanyu shook her head: "He treats you well, I am not sad.

You two are too open with each other. If I think too much, I will become a mean person. "

Shi Zelan looked at her for a while and said, "There will be nothing between Xia Yu and me."

"I know, you said you'd never get married, but I still want to get married."

"Wanyu, if you meet the right person, you can arrange the marriage first."

"I hope that I won't meet the right person before I reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and I don't want to get married before then."

Shi Zelan looked at Wanyu and smiled, saying, "That's good. You're not a confused person."

"Do you think I just listen to people gossip and never think about what others mean?" (End of this chapter)
