【Master, those two girls were just passing by and actually came in to take shelter from the rain after hearing your voice. What are you going to do?】
"you guess!"
These people are all professionals; there's no way they would come in to take shelter from the rain, especially when they're completely soaked.
Ordinary people might not realize it immediately, but people like Shen Chunying must have already felt the benefits of getting wet in the rain for their bodies.
Of today's escort team, apart from Shen Chunying and Yu Huaixian who had accompanied her to the manor before, everyone else was experiencing the spiritual rain for the first time.
But that didn't stop them from quickly noticing the differences.
Just like Liu Wei said, the rain felt really good on my skin, and my hidden injuries and ailments were much lighter.
The thought that the rain was brought down by their master and the divine artifact, and that the people who had accepted their protection were true immortals descended to earth, refreshed their understanding of what an 'immortal' truly was.
The crowd's gazes toward the moonlit carriage grew even more fervent. They unilaterally declared that unless the master killed them, no one would allow them to leave his side.
Just like their colleague Shen Chunxue, who has a mother who is the owner of the manor, she is the sole heir of the manor but does not go back to be her young lady. Instead, she is willing to stay by the side of the adults. At this moment, they can understand her better than anyone else.
What about Luoxia Villa among the Five Mountains and Six Villages?
Does it smell as good when it's near an adult?
In their excitement, the crowd, still lost in their own thoughts, quickly noticed something amiss with Yu Huaixian.
At first, when they saw him drinking rainwater with his mouth wide open, they thought the boy was thirsty.
But if someone is still drinking after drinking for a while, then there is a big problem!
Everyone wasn't stupid. When they thought about his identity as the cousin of the Junior Tutor, they all silently raised their heads and opened their mouths wide.
It doesn't matter if you're not smart, but you need to be perceptive and know to follow the smart people.
Fortunately, everyone was riding horses, so there was no need to worry about tripping while walking with their heads tilted back.
The only downside was that the lunch was so delicious that they all ate quite a bit, but Shen Chunying, Liu Wei, and Yu Huaixian went out halfway through and ate less than the rest of them.
This is where the advantage becomes apparent.
Liu Wei and Shen Chunying were not as rough as the men. They secretly used their hands to catch rainwater and drink it. Because the rain was heavier than the one at the other courtyard, the two of them were full in no time. They were slightly disappointed that they had small appetites and could not hold much in their stomachs.
Wei Ping and his group shared the same regret.
The kettle and teacups on the carriage were full, and just as they were worrying about what to do, they saw the Junior Tutor's guard, led by Yu Huaixian, all craning their necks to the sky with their mouths agape...
First came Cai Xian and Huo Ying, then Wei Ping and others, who all followed suit.
Even Lin Congxue, the most literary figure, temporarily set aside his pride.
Compared to that bit of reserve, a good body seems to be more important.
Especially when everyone around him is doing it, he follows suit. This is called conformity or integrating into the circle!
Yu Chongshan and Bao Yuanjun, these old men, watched all this with smiles, then looked at the endless imperial estate in the distance.
They could almost imagine the seeds here, saturated with spiritual rain, growing vigorously.
There seemed to be shadowy figures moving around the field; they were the guards protecting the good seeds.
These people had been silently following the carriage procession ever since they saw it approaching the imperial estate. Even though they couldn't see the expressions on the carriages, they knew that these people had already begun to be on high alert.
Yu Chongshan stroked his beard. The boys on duty today were lucky; they happened to catch his granddaughter sending down a magical rain.
They weren't the only ones who were lucky; Wei Shouyi and others, who led the team to arrest Wu Lao Er's accomplices, were also fortunate.
They had already captured Wu Lao Er's parents, wife, children, and elderly relatives. On their way back to the military camp, they suddenly saw that the previously clear sky behind them had suddenly become covered with dark clouds.
Having fought many wars, Wei Shouyi was particularly sensitive to geographical locations and immediately determined that it was in the direction of Huangzhuang.
It wouldn't have been strange to see that it was going to rain, but the area covered by dark clouds was not far from them. The sun was shining brightly above them, but it was going to rain heavily over there.
Wei Shouyi's eyes flickered. If he wasn't mistaken, wasn't the shape of that dark cloud just covering the area where the 10,000-mu imperial estate was located?
He quickly thought of the young master who happened to be here today, and the spiritual rain that had once fallen only on her own land, leaving not a single drop of rain on the neighboring fields.
"Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up!"
Having thought all this through, regardless of whether it was true or not, Wei Shouyi decided to go and try to get some freebies first.
At most, he might make a mistake and get caught in a cold rain shower. He's thick-skinned and won't even catch a cold!
It can be said that Wei Shouyi's success in this round was entirely due to luck and his own decisiveness.
The group followed Yue Fuguang's carriage along the rainy road. As they slowly left the imperial estate, the once continuous curtain of rain first broke into threads, then dispersed into an invisible mist that slowly dissipated between heaven and earth.
The trees along the road were washed clean, each leaf resembling a piece of fine jade.
A glimmer of light pierced through the clouds on the horizon, quickly illuminating the earth.
The imperial guards who had been following the convoy looked at the sky where the clouds had cleared and the rain had stopped, and then at the convoy that was almost out of sight...
"General!"
The soldiers called out uncertainly to their leader, whose face was filled with indescribable emotions—their general, Chen Jian.
He was also the emperor's nephew, the eldest son of the Grand Princess, and Shen Kang's elder brother.
"Fall back!" he commanded, waving his hand.
He had heard of that extraordinary young master many times, but for various reasons, he had never had the chance to meet him.
It has to be said that his and his brothers' luck is that they met in this way today.
"Fang Cheng, pass the word down: what happened today must not be spread outside, or the violator will be court-martialed!"
"It's the general!"
...
*Smack!* After listening to Eunuch Qian's report, Emperor Mingxi slammed the memorial in his hand onto the desk in frustration!
He couldn't help but secretly regret that he had gone to the imperial estate too early the other day!
If he went today, he might have a chance encounter with Fu Guang, and he might have a chance to be like Wei Ping and the others!
If all else fails, his son can join those spoiled brats and steal a chicken or a pig.
Xie Zhiyan, who was diligently reviewing memorials at the lower desk, knew without a doubt what his father, the Emperor, was thinking.
He subtly rolled his eyes, really wanting to tell his father that it was a matter of fate.
Emperor Mingxi was unaware that his eldest son was chirping at him. He turned to Eunuch Qian and asked, "Old Qian, where are Wei Ping and the others' carriages?"
Qian Gui: Your Majesty, you can just say you want to know if any of the officials have come to the palace!
Qian Gui bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Ping San reports that Lord Wei and the others have returned to their respective residences."
Qian Gui quickly glanced at the emperor and added, "I heard from Ping San that the rain was very heavy, and all the officials except for the Junior Tutor got soaked."
Emperor Mingxi nodded. "Send a message to Shen Jian, telling him to keep an eye on the crops these next few days."
Thinking that there were wild vegetables and weeds in the field besides grain seedlings, he said, "Your Highness, take some people to pull weeds tomorrow and the day after, and remember to sort and store them properly."
