Looking at the exhausted Dao Yi and Pei Luo, Bai said, "Uncle-Master, Doctor Luo, you've worked hard all night. Go and rest. I've already had them prepare guest rooms."
Su Xuening looked at Pei Luo and said, "Master, why don't you stay in the bamboo forest for now? Since Uncle and Yun'an aren't here, why don't you stay at the Holy King's Mansion with Ning'er? Ning'er is about to give birth, and things aren't peaceful in the capital. With Master by Ning'er's side, Ning'er will feel more at ease."
She didn't want her master to return to the bamboo forest; it would be too troublesome to send messages if needed.
Pei Luo doted on Su Xuening the most, and now that she was being affectionate, what could he possibly refuse? "Alright."
Actually, he wasn't used to living elsewhere, but for the sake of the girl, he had to get used to it!
Bai Shi also looked at Dao Yi: "Uncle-Master, why don't you stay at the Holy King's Mansion for a while?"
Given Xuan Yuanpeng's current condition, although his martial uncle cannot remove the curse from him, it is still more convenient for him to be around. Just like Ning'er said, it is more reassuring to have them there.
Dao Yi knew that this was the most difficult time for them, and he couldn't bear to refuse: "Then I will send a letter back to Bailong Temple in a while and explain it to them."
When he came out, he didn't know how long he would stay outside, so he didn't say anything to his disciples in detail.
Su Xuening looked at Dao Yi and thought for a moment before saying, "Master Dao Yi, if you're going to keep the Holy King's Mansion, why don't you change into civilian clothes? The situation in the capital is complicated right now, and it would be a shame to bring trouble to Bailong Temple."
The Emperor has been infected with the Puppet Gu. If he were to be controlled by Xuan Yuan Yu at any time, the Holy Prince's Mansion might be the first to suffer.
They will definitely be implicated if they live in the Holy King's Mansion. Master is all alone, and no one in the capital knows him. With his martial arts skills, if he is implicated, he can either run away or protect them and take them with him.
Of course, the same goes for Master Daoyi. If Master Daoyi were alone, it would be easy for him to remain untainted. But if he were the abbot of Bailong Temple, then it would be far too easy for Xuanyuan Yu to control him!
Therefore, it was best for Master Doichi to dress in ordinary clothes during his time in Kyoto. Most people would never guess that he was the abbot of Hakuryu-ji Temple, Master Doichi.
Dao Yi understood Su Xuening's meaning and thought she made a lot of sense: "Ning'er is so thoughtful. I really can't stay here as Dao Yi. From today onwards, I am Lu Shao."
As Dao Yi spoke, he looked at Pei Luo and Su Xuening and said, "From now on, you can still call me Lu Shao!"
Although the Xuanmen has many enemies, this is Dongchu, and there should be very few people in Dongchu who know Lu Shao!
Even if someone did recognize Heron Whistle, he would rather be hunted down by his enemies as Heron Whistle than implicate Hakuryuji.
He had been staying at Bailong Temple ever since he left Zhongzhou, and he had long regarded Bailong Temple as his home.
If those people were to turn their anger towards the White Dragon Temple, with so many disciples there, he would be guilty of a thousand deaths!
Pei Luo glanced at Dao Yi speechlessly and said nothing.
Didn't he always call him Lu Shao? He never called him Dao Yi!
Su Xuening nodded obediently.
Fortunately, Master Daoyi was very natural when he was with them. Although he had been the abbot of Bailong Temple for several years, he didn't really have much of a Buddhist aura when he spoke normally.
If you change into normal clothes and wear a veiled hat or something similar, you probably won't attract much attention.
Without hesitation, Madam Bai looked directly at Granny Shang and instructed, "Go and prepare a set of clothes for my martial uncle, and also prepare a curtain."
Just in case, since my uncle is the abbot of Bailong Temple, many people in Kyoto have visited Bailong Temple to burn incense, worship Buddha, and even seek his guidance. It would be safer for my uncle to wear a veil.
"Yes," Granny Shang replied and immediately went to prepare.
Soon, Granny Shang brought over a set of ordinary men's clothes and a curtain.
"Uncle-Master, go to the side room to change before you go to rest."
They arrived at night, and it's daytime now. There are quite a few people in the Holy King's Mansion, so it would be better to change their clothes before going to their guest rooms.
Dao Yi took the clothes and went to the side room.
She changed her clothes and came out shortly after.
The Bai family couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, saying, "Uncle-Master looks better in normal clothes."
Looking at Dao Yi's attire, Bai Shi couldn't help but recall the heroic figure of her uncle in the Xuanmen sect when he was young.
Back then, my uncle was considered a rare handsome man in the Xuanmen sect. Many senior sisters and aunts in the sect were fond of him. He should have been a butterfly playing among flowers, but who would have thought that he would eventually see through the vanity of the world and become a monk!
Even Pei Luo couldn't help but tease, "I still think you're better off as a heron whistle. Why don't you renounce your vows and go back to Zhongzhou to roam the martial world together?"
Dao Yi was amused by him: "Let's forget it. It's fine here. I've gotten used to being a monk."
The Xuanmen Sect is gone, so why should he go back to Zhongzhou? It's better for him to stay here with Bai Ya and that boy. He can go up the mountain to see his senior brother from time to time. Isn't that great?
"Ha~" Dao Yi yawned, feeling extremely sleepy: "I have to go to sleep. I haven't slept for two days and two nights."
Upon hearing this, Madam Bai felt both guilty and distressed: "Granny Shang, quickly take Doctor Luo and Uncle-Master to the guest room to rest."
"Yes," Granny Shang replied immediately.
Dao Yi put on the veil and left with Pei Luo and Granny Shang.
Su Xuening also stood up: "I'll go back and write to my martial uncle, asking him and Yun An to come back as soon as possible."
Bai nodded.
They really needed to swim now, so she stopped making small talk.
After Su Xuening took her leave, she went back to Linshui Pavilion to write a letter.
After writing the letter, Su Xuening called Ye Yu over: "Pass this letter to the two guards who are with my uncle and Yun An."
"Yes." Ye Yu took the letter and went to deliver it.
Su Xuening walked to the window and stared blankly at the bamboo forest.
Yun'an and the others should be arriving in Kaiyang soon. I wonder what the situation is like on Yun'an's side.
I hope everything goes well for them too.
...
Dongchu, Kaiyang County.
Su Xuening, who was worried about Su Yun'an and You Yi, rode at full speed and finally arrived in Kaiyang County after seven or eight days.
If neither of them were unfamiliar with Sujia Village, they would have left Uncle Ping and the two carriages far behind.
There was no other way; they needed Uncle Ping to give them directions, so they had to accommodate the carriage.
Fortunately, the two carriages were not slow either, and they managed to catch up with them despite their hurried pace.
"Su Family Village is just ahead," Uncle Ping said, pointing to a small village not far away.
He had accompanied the general here once before, and it was because of his good memory that he still remembered the way to Sujia Village.
That time, the general came back to pick up Su Renzhong and Su Huiyan.
