Chapter 153: The Exiled Immortal Descends to Earth

The guards outside the door heard the quarrel inside Qinyun Building and stood still, but they all stretched their necks to find out what was going on.

Outside the door, there was a rush of wind, and a long, tall, dark-black threshold slid across a long, white robe.

The guard came to his senses and was surprised to see a figure breaking into the inner courtyard. He quickly raised his hand to stop the person.

The man raised his wide sleeves in the color of moonlight, and on his jade-like palm was a sign of Qinyunlou.

The guard knew this, it belonged to the boss, and he heard there were only two pieces.

This person was holding another piece in his hand, he must be the most important person in the boss's family.

He bowed respectfully to let her pass.

The guards who were on the same shift with him stared in amazement.

"Was the person who just passed by a deity who came down to earth?"

"He is indeed handsome. How could the boss know such a person?"

Jing Ran stood quietly at the door of the reception hall, looking at the boss's face full of disappointment and heartache, and hit Fu Xuwen hard on the head, hoping that he would wake up.

Yes, you should hit him hard.

This scoundrel took advantage of his boss's affection for her and did whatever he wanted, blatantly embezzling the teahouse's cash for his own use.

He doesn't want his boss to beat him, so what if he continues to be deluded? He is willing to associate with liars, he is willing to disobey his boss for the sake of that child who he doesn't even know if he is his own child, and there is no telling why he will betray his boss again in the future.

Such a person is not worth such a good boss to worry about.

His family used to be wealthy, and he even received a few years of education and knew a few words. However, as fate would have it, his father fell seriously ill and had to seek medical treatment everywhere, and the family savings were gone in an instant.

He was the third child in the family. His eldest brother and second sister were already married, and he himself had a good marriage. He had secretly met this girl and found her very suitable for his needs. However, his family encountered an unexpected change and the marriage was never mentioned again.

The family was very poor, and his father's illness did not improve despite taking medicine every day. Most of the valuable items had been sold. Later, he had no other choice but to sell himself just to buy money for his father's medicine.

Life in this world is hard and it is even harder to meet a good person outside.

He had seen people being hung from a beam by a hemp rope by debt collectors, a gambler selling his daughter to a kiln for a gambling bet, and a drunk husband beating his wife to death in the street...

He thought that he would not have a good ending.

But he saw that pair of extremely beautiful eyes were shining, with a smile on the corner of the mouth, and the right hand was pointing at him.

"Let's go with him."

He has a good life and he cherishes it very much.

Therefore, he didn't understand why Fu Xuwen, who was a beggar before and should have seen the most despicable and rotten places in the world, was now...

Suddenly, a man walked in from beside him.

She has an upright figure, and wears a moon-white robe with wide sleeves. She is graceful and elegant. Half of her black hair is pinned into a bun with a jade hairpin, and then falls loosely on her shoulders, like a floating ribbon, wandering above her narrow waist.

His face was covered by a piece of extremely white veil, making him look more like a god.

He approached the host quietly, raised his jade-like hands, and took the gauze covering his face.

He was so handsome, with cold white skin, long and thin eyebrows, a high nose bridge and light-colored lips.

Her brows and eyelashes were filled with warmth, the corners of her mouth were raised, and she slightly bent her waist and moved closer to the Dong family.

“You are hitting someone…”

Suddenly the room was filled with the sound of gurgling springs, quietly soothing everyone's heart.

Everyone was shocked.

How can a man be so handsome?

Chen Shiyi recovered from the shock and felt a little overwhelmed.

"I, I'm not usually like this."

In the unusually quiet hall, someone made a "tsk" sound.

Pei Luoshu's eyes flickered and he smiled warmly.

He moved closer to Chen Shiyi and was extremely surprised to see her extremely beautiful eyes.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you outside."

Bai Ling woke up and hurriedly took Pei Luoshu out of the hall.

Chen Shiyi calmed down and said to Fu Xuwen.

"Calm down for a while, and I will deal with you when I come back."

As everyone waited for Chen Shiyi to leave, a lot of discussion broke out.

"Who is this?"

"He should be a friend of the boss."

"Who said they must be friends? The boss hasn't even gotten married yet."

"Well, aren't we going to have a wedding banquet?"

Bo Yuan rolled his eyes.

“It’s so superficial.”

He touched his hair, smoothed his red shirt, and raised his head.

"I'm not any less good-looking than him."

Fu Da, who had been silent on the side, said coldly.

"How can you compare with his appearance? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself..."

Bo Yuan couldn't help it this time.

"You look like a demon, what right do you have to say that to me?"

Fu Da seemed not to have heard what Bo Yuan said, and continued talking to himself.

"A good appearance doesn't mean a person is good. Some people have evil hearts."

When Chen Shiyi found Pei Luoshu, he was standing tall and slender, with his hands behind his back, attentively admiring every exquisite piece of jewelry in Qinyun Tower.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Pei Luoshu turned his head and looked at Chen Shiyi, his eyes full of smiles.

"And you?"

“Not yet.”

"I want to eat the wontons you made."

Chen Shiyi smiled and nodded.

"Okay, wait."

"I will go with you."

In the kitchen at the backyard of Qinyun Building, Chen Shiyi was kneading the dough while Pei Luoshu was preparing the meat filling.

"I'll roll out the dough later and you can wrap it."

Pei Luoshu shook his head.

"I can't."

"I'll teach you."

Pei Luoshu smiled.

“Do you want to teach me step by step?”

Chen Shiyi said with a smile.

"Forget it, just eat the ready-made ones later."

Pei Luoshu moved closer to her and spoke softly.

"Just teach me well, and I can cook for you next time."

Chen Shiyi quickly changed the subject.

"Help me light the fire."

She watched Pei Luoshu sitting in the stove and lighting a fire skillfully, but she felt that his clothes were too gorgeous and out of place in this kitchen.

"Why are you dressed so nicely today?"

"Of course I have to dress nicely to see you."

Chen Shiyi's hands paused as he was rolling out the dough.

"As the magistrate of Yougu County, what would happen if you were discovered leaving there?"

Pei Luoshu opened the tinder, lit the dry leaves, picked up a few dry and small dead branches and stuffed them into the stove, then placed them on the burning fire. After a while, the fire gradually became stronger.

"You haven't replied to my letter for a long time. I was worried that something happened to you. Besides, I came to Kyoto this time because the Ministry of Personnel gave me a note to report to Kyoto."

"Report on your duties?"

"Maybe it's because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits last time, and the road he built was built quickly and well with your financial support, which is also a great achievement. In addition, some aristocratic families in Kyoto are interested in the position of Yougu County Magistrate, which has obvious achievements. If nothing unexpected happens, he may stay in Kyoto this time."

When Chen Shiyi heard him say this, his eyes sparkled.

"really?"

"How can I deceive you?"

Pei Luoshu took the gourd ladle and added a few spoonfuls of water into the pot.

"How to make wonton soup?"

Chen Shiyi pointed to the small stove nearby. The clay pot was bubbling with its lid pressed against it, and white mist was spewing out of the tiny air holes.

Pei Luoshu smiled.

"Did you know I was coming today?"

Chen Shiyi's hands were flipping quickly as he was wrapping wontons.

"I usually like to eat some noodles in the morning, and sometimes I'll eat some snacks like fried cakes. Drinking a bowl of soup is very comfortable. Bailing always prepares it for me. If you like to hear good words, that is, I prepare it every day for your arrival, okay?"

Pei Luoshu felt as if he had eaten honey when he heard this.

"I feel like this is more than just a nice thing to say. It feels like the truth."
