Chapter 7: Go to Boyi and visit Master Wen Hua...

Hua Jing was preparing lessons, and Su Rong brought Fu Li to ask for a meeting directly. There were no outsiders present at the time, so she explained the whole story directly.

"...I already know about this. You go back first. Let Fuli sleep with me tonight." Hua Jing was silent for a moment, took Fuli in his arms, and gently patted her back.

From her tone, it seemed that she wanted to suppress the matter. Su Rong felt anxious and could not help but said, "Master, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. At least we must find out who is trying to harm the young lady."

Many things will happen again after the first one. If the first one is not dealt with severely, the person behind it will not stop, but will only escalate and use more insidious tricks.

Hua Jing sighed softly and said, "It's not someone from the mountain. I already know who it is. You don't have to worry about it."

"Not someone from the mountain?" Su Rong was startled. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and her expression changed drastically. "Could it be..."

"Okay, you go back first." Hua Jing's face turned cold and he interrupted Su Rong before she could say anything.

Su Rong suddenly came back to his senses, took a deep breath to suppress the excitement and anger in his heart, and said with a bow: "Yes, disciple, I will take my leave."

She looked at Fu Li worriedly again and finally retreated.

Hua Jing was lost in thought, his hands still unconsciously holding Fu Li in his arms and patting her gently, muttering, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Master will protect you."

Fu Li didn't disturb her until she came to her senses. Then she asked cautiously, "Master, it's Dai Bo, right?"

Hua Jing froze, her expression a bit complicated, but mostly one of relief. She touched the back of Fu Li's head, forced a smile, and said, "You're a smart child. I don't have to worry about you being at a disadvantage in the future."

Fu Li had a bad feeling when she heard these words. She stared into her master's eyes and said with a silly smile, "Master, you're always watching over me. What are you worried about?"

Hua Jing just smiled and said "silly child" without giving her any words of assurance.

"Master." Fu Li could no longer restrain herself and showed an anxious look.

Hua Jing tied up the bamboo slips and carefully put them in a box. He then took Fu Li's hand and sat on the sleeping mat together.

Fu Li felt uneasy and followed her closely, fearing that she would say something to send her away the next moment.

As soon as they sat down, she couldn't wait to say, "Master, don't worry about me. Today, when that ghost boy was trying to harm me, a god suddenly appeared and saved me. That god said that if I'm in danger in the future, he will appear to save me."

She was originally thinking about how to tell her master about the process of killing the ghost child, but now she didn't care about so many things. Except for the matter of time travel and summoning cards, she told him everything.

Hua Jing just patted her shoulder and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Master!" Fu Li threw herself into her arms aggrievedly, hugged her waist tightly, rubbed her cheek against her chest, and said coquettishly, "Please don't send me away, okay? If Dai Bo really wants to harm me, no matter where you send me, he won't let me go."

After a long time, Hua Jing sighed softly and said, "Don't worry, the master has already made an idea. When my eldest sister was alive, she had a good relationship with Master Wen.

The Jiejiao sect, where Master Wen came from, is said to be the largest sect in the Three Realms. For my elder sister's sake, I entrust you to him. He will definitely ensure your safety."

"But Master, I don't want to be separated from you." Fu Li choked up, "I have grown up by your side since I was a child, and the longest we've been apart has never been more than a day. Without you, Master, I don't know how I would live."

She has a weak relationship with her parents in this life, and Hua Jing has completely replaced the role of mother in her mind.

Although she had been unlucky in her previous life, she had always lived under the care of her parents and sister. Although her current life had a difficult start, she soon found Hua Jing, a female elder who loved her very much. She was not lying. Whether in her past life or this life, she had never experienced life without the care and guidance of her elders.

Hua Jing couldn't bear it and gently wiped away her tears. But thinking of the Qigong practitioners worshipped by Dai State, she hardened her heart and frowned at her for the first time.

"Fu Li, if you still consider me your master, then listen to me and go to Master Wen's residence to avoid trouble for a few years. Once I'm done with this, I'll definitely bring you back."

At the end, she couldn't help herself. With red eyes, she suddenly hugged Fu Li into her arms and choked with sobs, "Don't say you can't bear to leave your master, how can your master bear to leave you?"

"That……"

"Listen to what I have to say." Hua Jing knew what she was going to say and interrupted her directly, "Even if Dai Bo has a thousand faults, Dai Country is my motherland after all, and I can't really ignore them.

What my brother is interested in is just the little money and possessions I have. As long as he is willing to pay respects to his ancestors in the future, I will give it to him. But..."

She looked down at Fu Li, her face full of apology. "I originally wanted to leave the rest of my dowry to you so that you could have a foundation for your future, but now I'm afraid that's no longer possible. However, my disciple is very clever. At such a young age, he has such a talent for farming.

"Teacher Wen is upright and virtuous. Having seen your talent, he will definitely recommend you to the king. By then, you will have an official position, and no one will dare to look down on you, and your brother will be even less likely to harm you."

In fact, ever since Fu Li came up with the Longmu Method, Hua Jing had been thinking of reporting it through Master Wen once the results were tested, and recommending Fu Li to be an agricultural official.

Firstly, it would be a pity for Fu Li, with such talent, to be buried in this small Huanghua Temple; secondly, with the return of Duke Dai, it would not take many years for her to be in charge of the Huanghua Temple.

For this child whom she raised since childhood, although they have no blood relationship, she has already regarded Fuli as her own daughter.

As parents, we naturally plan for our children's future.

Even if Fu Li can't do anything, Hua Jing will make a good living for her before Huanghua Temple falls out of control.

Now that the child is smart, Hua Jing is pleased and secretly relieved.

After all, being an official in power is no more secure than simply having money.

Fu Li understood her master's concerns and also understood her master's dilemma.

She no longer tried to get her master to stay, but said, "Master, please come with me. If I can really become an agricultural official, I will serve the king loyally and benefit the people.

We don't want any of these things from Huanghua Temple anymore. When I get my salary, I'll give them all to Master. And there are also Senior Sisters Su Rong and Su Heng, as well as Fu Yue and Fu Shuang. We will be together forever, never apart."

"What a silly child!" Hua Jing laughed and shook his head, his eyes slightly cold. "Good child, you still don't understand. Dai Country is my motherland, I can't ignore them. However, Dai Bo is also the murderer who killed my child. Apart from money, I will not give them any help."

She looked at Fu Li steadily and said word by word, "You must promise me that if you become successful in the future, you will not help Dai Guo in the slightest."

If she followed Fu Li down the mountain, the relationship between master and disciple would be forever inseparable. Dai Bo was her brother, and the world would not care about the injustices she had suffered, but would only discuss her abandoning her motherland after becoming successful.

"Master..." Fu Li was a little dazed.

Hua Jing pressed him, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Fu Li nodded hurriedly, "I understand, disciple, I understand everything."

"Good boy." Hua Jing's aura softened instantly, and he said with a gentle smile, "Have a good rest tonight, and follow me down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Fu Li nodded, lay down on the inside and closed her eyes.

But that night, the master and the disciple remained sleepless.

The next morning, the master and the disciple looked at each other with dark circles under their eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

Fu Li hurriedly bowed to ease the awkwardness: "Disciple, please give good morning, Master."

Hua Jing coughed lightly and said, "No need to be so polite. Su Rong has already arranged a carriage, and I will personally escort you to Boyi. From now on, Fu Yue and Fu Shuang will stay by your side to take care of you. With them here, it's as if I'm always with you."

Fu Yue and Fu Shuang were already waiting outside the door. After they had breakfast together, they took their luggage and went down the mountain.

This time, not only Fuyue and Fushuang will go together, but Surong will also come to take care of Huajing. Suheng leads Fuyao and Fuguang to stay at Huanghua Temple to look after the ancestral incense.

=====

As for Daiyi, the Duke of Shanyang already knew about it the moment the ghost boy's assassination attempt failed.

However, he was originally dissatisfied with Dai Bo's behavior, and he admired Hua Jing for staying in Huanghua Temple for many years, allowing the ancestors of the Dai Kingdom to be worshipped continuously.

Therefore, he did not reveal the failure at all. Dai Bo had great confidence in Shanyang Gong's ability and had never considered the possibility of failure, nor did he specifically ask about it.

He was already thinking that after the little girl died, Hua Jing would be very sad. At that time, he would send Ziyue, who was of the same age, to her, under the pretext of comforting his sister's grief over the loss of her daughter. No one would find fault with it.

However, he also knew that this matter should not be rushed. If he was too hasty, Hua Jing, with his intelligence, would inevitably see through the clues.

If they were to turn against each other because of a girl from another family, it would be a loss.

In this way, Duke Shanyang pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Dai Boqiang restrained himself, giving Hua Jing and his apprentice enough time.

The Dai State was a founding vassal state and a royal family, its fiefdom not far from the capital, Boyi. The master and his apprentice rode in a chariot, while the rest of the entourage rode in ox carts, and on the third day they arrived in Boyi.

Hua Jing took them to settle down at the post station first, and ordered Su Heng to take his business card to the residence of Grand Tutor Wen.

Master Wen obviously still remembered his friendship with Hua Yuan, the daughter of the Dai State, and he also sighed over the young lady's untimely death.

Now that his old friend's sister had come, he immediately ordered someone to invite her into the mansion.

Although Hua Jing and his eldest sister are not born from the same mother, their mothers are cousins, so they have very similar eyebrows and eyes.

As Master Wen looked at her, he couldn't help but think of the young lady Hua Yuan with whom he had longed for so many things. He sighed and said, "Who could have known that our farewell would be forever? Although we are no longer here, if you have any difficulties, please let me know. I will never sit idly by."

He once thought that Hua Yuan would serve in the same court with him, but not long after, he heard that she had been married off to the Han family by her father and brother.

At that time, he thought that in the Shang Dynasty, whether it was the queen or the queen, they had the responsibility of managing the army and sacrifices.

Although she could not hold a position in Boyi, she could realize her ambitions by becoming the wife of a vassal state.

But fate played such a trick on her. Before she became the queen, Han started a rebellion. She was also frightened during her pregnancy and died of complications during childbirth.
