The big "dandelion spirit" attacked Shangguan Shu directly, bringing with it countless fluffs of hair. Shangguan Shu felt a slight itch in his nose, but he stared at the man in the bamboo hat without moving.
The Taoist priest behind him looked at Shangguan Shu with admiration. He was indeed the sixth brother, so fearless in the face of danger...
He couldn't let his fourth brother really hurt his sixth brother, who had finally come back to life. The Taoist priest was about to speak to stop the man in the bamboo hat, but the next second, his voice was stuck in his throat.
Shangguan Shu stared expressionlessly at the large dandelion coming towards him. He took a long breath, and his strong chest slowly swelled up. Then, when the man in the bamboo hat was only a foot away from him, he opened his mouth and said, "Hu~"
A gust of hot wind, carrying a little water vapor, blew towards the man in the bamboo hat.
The hair on the man in the bamboo hat was blown away instantly...
The man in the bamboo hat was stunned for a moment, then felt a chill running straight to the top of his head. He shuddered, then covered his vital parts, took a few steps back, looked at Shangguan Shu in horror, and said in disbelief: "You...how do you know how to break my special move?!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
After all the trouble, Shangguan Shu's anger subsided a lot. He didn't want to pay any attention to these two idiots, so he stepped out of the river and went ashore.
Behind him, the Taoist priest and the man in the bamboo hat supported each other. The Taoist priest looked at Shangguan Shu in front of him, thought for a moment, and shouted, "Sir, please stay!"
Shangguan Shu looked back.
The Taoist priest warned, "Brave man, someone wants to harm you!"
If it was someone else, it would be fine, but this person is his sixth brother. Although he doesn't recognize him anymore, he also wants him to be safe!
Shangguan Shu asked calmly, "Who?"
The Taoist shook his head. "I can't tell you. That man is my brother and I's benefactor. How could I betray him and tell you his name?"
The man in the bamboo hat curled his lips and responded, "Yes, we can't tell you who he is... Besides, we don't know either!"
Shangguan Shu was silent for a long moment, then suddenly smiled gently, his aloofness lessened. He spoke softly, "You two righteous men are so trustworthy, truly rare in this world. I'm Shangguan Shu, a native of the capital, and we've become acquainted. Tonight is a beautiful evening, and I'd like to host a drink and chat with you two. Would you be willing?"
The Taoist priest and the man in the bamboo hat did not expect Shangguan Shu's attitude to change 180 degrees. They were stunned for a moment. The depressed face of the man in the bamboo hat suddenly looked better, and his eyes were filled with stars when he looked at Shangguan Shu.
"Yes, of course I do!"
He turned to the Taoist priest and said excitedly, "Second brother, second brother, sixth brother is treating us!"
Shangguan Shu looked at the heartless and unvindictive man in the bamboo hat, and the corners of his lips twitched.
Then, along with the man in the bamboo hat, they looked at the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest suppressed his excitement and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to see your sweetheart tonight?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Shu's face drooped. Shangguan Shu thought to himself, how could he still go to see them after they had treated him like this?
Shangguan Shu said indifferently, "It's okay. It's rare to meet two close friends recently. Your sweetheart is always there for you. It's hard to find a close friend..."
Shangguan Shu's sweet words frightened the Taoist priest and the man in the bamboo hat. They looked at each other, feeling both relieved and melancholy.
Although he cannot recognize his sixth brother, blood is thicker than water after all, and the sixth brother still wants to be close to them from the bottom of his heart!
The Taoist priest no longer had any objections.
When leaving, I encountered another problem.
The man in the conical hat's clothes were torn and could no longer be worn. He couldn't possibly go to the banquet naked, could he?
Seeing this, the Taoist frowned and blamed the man in the bamboo hat for being too impulsive. How could he tear such an expensive gauze dress so easily?
You should know that the man in the bamboo hat has very delicate skin because he grows hair every day. He cannot wear coarse linen clothes and can only wear silk gauze. This kind of precious material costs twenty taels per piece. The one worn by the man in the bamboo hat was bought by the Taoist priest with great effort.
The Taoist frowned, "Why don't you go home first? You're really disturbing the view. I and six... strong men will go."
"No... Second brother, please don't... I want to go too..."
Shangguan Shu was speechless and wanted to watch from the sidelines, but when he saw the naked man in the bamboo hat blowing in the cold wind, looking so scared that he was about to cry, he actually felt a little uncomfortable.
So on impulse, he took off his soaked outer robe and gave it to him.
He regretted it after taking it off, but it was too late. The man in the bamboo hat put on his outer robe with tears in his eyes, said thank you, then pursed his lips, looking moved.
Shangguan Shu sighed inwardly, how difficult life was for the people...
The three of them went to the restaurant that the man in the bamboo hat and the Taoist priest had visited last time.
Yipinyuan, the largest restaurant in Beijing.
Shangguan Shu stood at the door in his white inner garment, having gone in with a naive face. If his colleagues saw him, he, a Grand Tutor and the son of a Duke, would lose his composure and insult civility in public... Shangguan Shu thought again, no, what was he afraid of? What face did he even need?
When he was parading around in eunuch's clothes, he had already lost all his dignity...
Besides, there are many officials in the capital who are even more shameful now, so what he did is just a small matter!
Shangguan Shu figured it out and was about to go in, but was stopped by the man in the bamboo hat. He grabbed his arm and whispered, "Sixth brother, this house is precious..."
The Taoist priest also widened his eyes and nodded at him.
Shangguan Shu chuckled, his impression of the two men really improved a lot. Although these two people were unorthodox, they were still simple and sincere.
Shangguan Shu shook his head. "No problem. Follow me in."
As soon as Shangguan Shu entered, he was greeted by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper of course knew Shangguan Shu, but he didn't know how to address him for a moment. While thinking about it, he was also surprised that Shangguan Taishi didn't wear an outer robe when he came out. The next second, he saw the sneaky man in the bamboo hat behind Shangguan Shu wearing a robe that didn't suit his status, and he understood.
The shopkeeper bowed, "Old shopkeeper!"
Shangguan Shu was stunned.
The Taoist priest and the man in the bamboo hat widened their eyes in shock.
The shopkeeper explained, "To be honest with you, Grand Master, our shop has been bought by the Second Young Master Bai Lin, and he is now the owner of our shop."
Shangguan Shu suddenly realized what was going on, and a sense of pride rose in his heart. He calmly ordered, "Find me three sets of robes!"
"Okay! No problem. The old shopkeeper, please go to the private room to order the food first, and I will bring the robes over shortly."
"Um."
While going upstairs, the man in the bamboo hat asked, "Sixth brother, who is the Second Young Master Bai Lin they are talking about?"
Shangguan Shu replied immediately, "My son."
The man in the bamboo hat gasped. The Taoist priest next to him exploded, "You already have a son?"
Shangguan Shu snorted, "I'm not talented. I've been married for fourteen years, and I only have a few children..." He stretched out his hand and spread it out, "Only five."
Five... only?
