I got goosebumps again.
Shen Qingyu casually put down her chopsticks: "I'm full. Shall we go home now?"
Xiao Yunqi snapped out of his daze, feeling slightly embarrassed: "Okay."
Xiao Yunqi asked the innkeeper to pack up the leftovers and went downstairs with Shen Qingyu. He was taken aback when he saw the black horse being harnessed to a comfortable carriage.
Shen Qingyu explained simply, "I've wanted to buy this for a long time."
It was just inconvenient before.
Xiao Yunqi nodded: "Very good. Let's go."
Shen Qingyu got into the carriage, and Xiao Yunqi drove it. Just as they left the courtyard, they ran into a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest grinned at Xiao Yunqi, then suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly closed his mouth, greeting him with a strange expression: "It's quite an unexpected encounter with the young master here."
When the Taoist priest exposed Xiao Yunqi's identity, his face darkened immediately: "What are you doing here?"
"It's all fate. It's all fate! Hehehe..." He chuckled twice, then immediately shut up as if remembering something.
"Then you can stay here and relax. I'll be going now."
The Taoist priest refused to move aside: "Young master, is the person in this carriage yours..."
Xiao Yunqi's face darkened even more: "This is my wife."
"I have a connection with the lady, may I travel with you?" The Taoist priest said, chuckling twice before closing his mouth again.
"You and her? You're destined to be together?" Xiao Yunqi asked in surprise, pointing at the carriage.
The Taoist priest nodded, then called out to Shen Qingyu in the carriage, "Madam, don't you think so?"
Is it a ghost?!
Shen Qingyu's mind was in turmoil at this moment.
She heard the Taoist priest greet Xiao Yunqi, calling him "Young Master".
In other words, Xiao Yunqi is the heir of a noble family.
And this person seemed to know that his soul had transmigrated...
There's always a sense of crisis that my disguise is about to be exposed.
That's all.
What's meant to be will be.
Shen Qingyu said, "Then you can sit in the back of the car."
That cart couldn't be thrown away; it was being dragged along the back of the horse-drawn carriage.
The Taoist priest immediately smiled and said, "Alright!"
Xiao Yunqi frowned but did not object. He drove the carriage, with a cart pulling behind it, on which sat a dirty Taoist priest, and headed home.
When Cheng Ping got home, he was dumbfounded when he saw the Taoist priest: "Crazy Taoist? What are you doing here?"
Wen Che and Wen Jin also came out of their rooms upon hearing the noise.
The dirty-looking Taoist priest glanced at the Wen brothers, then grinned at Cheng Ping: "If you can come, why can't I?"
With a smile on his face, the mad Taoist was inwardly ranting and raving!
Who can tell me why so many extraordinary people live in this small country courtyard?!
Just as his heart was filled with turmoil, the three little ones also peeked out of the study upon hearing the sound and looked at the mad Taoist.
"Mom, is this a fortune teller?" Erbao asked curiously.
When he met Erbao's eyes, the Mad Taoist was stunned!
"You...you come here."
Erbao paused for a moment, looked around, and pointed to his own nose: "You mean me?"
"Yes! It's you, come here!" The Mad Taoist was solemn at this moment, his serious appearance exuding an undeniable air of authority.
Cheng Ping knew the Mad Taoist, and seeing this, his expression also became serious. He walked up to Erbao, took her hand, and led her to the Mad Taoist.
"Have you figured something out?"
The mad Taoist priest looked Erbao up and down, then carefully examined his face, and finally sighed, "This old Taoist has been searching for you for half his life..."
Shen Qingyu already thought the old Taoist was eccentric, and now that she heard him talking like this, she couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him!
"Aww!"
Caught off guard, the mad Taoist was kicked to the ground.
Shen Qingyu pointed down at the mad Taoist's face and said, "I'm warning you, you can talk nonsense to me, but if you dare to touch my child, do you believe I'll kill you right now?"
Xiao Yunqi: "!!!"
Cheng Ping: "!!!"
Wen Che and Wen Jin were petrified.
This was the first time they had ever seen Shen Qingyu openly fight with a man!
She really didn't know the Mad Taoist's reputation in the capital!
That's incredible!
Xiao Yunqi coughed, stepped forward and took Shen Qingyu's arm, gently but firmly pulling her away: "Why don't you... listen to what he has to say first?"
Although the Mad Taoist priest seems unreliable, he actually has real skills.
Judging by his slovenly appearance and foul mouth, if he didn't have any ability, he would have been killed by the powerful and influential people in the capital many times over.
The mad Taoist looked at Shen Qingyu: "Madam, is this your child?"
"right!"
"You are destined to be my disciple!" The mad Taoist's eyes shone with fanaticism, and he looked both certain and insane.
Shen Qingyu barely suppressed the urge to kick him to death: "You mean, she wants to follow you and wander the world looking so slovenly?"
"You don't believe I'll kill you right now?"
"No, no, no! What I mean is, I can stay here and teach her too," the mad Taoist quickly clarified.
Shen Qingyu: "..."
Everyone: "..."
No one expected that the famous mad Taoist priest in the capital would take a liking to Xiao Yunqi's second daughter at first sight and want to take her as his disciple.
"What if I don't agree?" Shen Qingyu asked coolly.
"Your daughter was born with a 'canopy over her head,' but she suffers from five deficiencies and three lacks. After she turns seven, she will be plagued by misfortunes..."
After a torrent of technical jargon (a combination of coercion and enticement), the mad Taoist concluded: "If she hadn't become my disciple, without my protection along the way, she wouldn't have lived to sixteen..."
