Finally, the ruthless Zhu Silang, on the grounds of inciting a disturbance, ruthlessly threw me into jail. I was penniless and ate prison food for three days.
Then they were ruthlessly thrown out of the cell.
"I've heard that the Imperial Palace has the finest wines and delicacies. Don't you really want to go and try them?" Ranmo was trying to entice me to go to the Imperial Palace to see Zhu Xiaoba.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and stamped my foot. I pulled out the broken bowl shard that Zhu Xiaoba had given me years ago, which was engraved with his name, from my tattered backpack and swaggered to the palace gate.
However, they were stopped by the guards at the door.
No matter what I said, they refused to believe that I was the current emperor's teacher, and the token they gave was a broken piece of a bowl.
So I started arguing with the guards at the door.
When the argument was at its fiercest.
Unfortunately, they ran into Zhu Silang, who was about to enter the palace for court.
He sat in a luxurious carriage and spoke slightly to the soldier: "Hmm, His Majesty certainly doesn't have such a master. Don't let him come near here again."
In the end, I was still ruthlessly driven away.
Oh dear, I have such a bad temper.
I've been thrown out by this kid several times. Don't I have any pride?
The more he forbade me to enter the palace, the more determined I became to go.
I'm going to stay here and drink fine wine. I'll live in this luxurious palace and never leave.
Finally, I waited until nightfall and climbed over the wall into the palace.
I never expected this palace to be so solemn and majestic. It was larger than I had imagined.
It was a dark and windy night, but I searched for a long time without finding Zhu Xiaoba's palace.
By a twist of fate, they found the palace's wine cellar, which housed all the most delicious wines in the world.
No wonder Ranmo always lured me to the palace to find wine.
I regretted not coming sooner after I arrived.
Ranmo and I were so tempted by the various fragrant wines and spirits that we couldn't move.
He completely forgot about finding Zhu Xiaoba and got drunk, indulging in the aroma of wine in the cellar.
The aroma of ink from the wine wafted in front of me: "I've heard that the emperor's study has an immense collection of millions of books. Would you like to take a look?"
"I'm going! I definitely have to go!" I swayed as I walked out of the wine cellar.
But because I drank too much, I couldn't tell which way was which.
He could only leap onto the rooftop, his eyes glazed with drunkenness as he searched for the location of the Imperial Study.
As soon as I stepped out of the wine cellar, I heard a cacophony of shouts behind me.
"Catch the thief!" It turned out that a group of soldiers behind me had discovered my whereabouts.
They came chasing after us in a grand procession.
Because all I could think about was finding the Imperial Study.
I didn't notice at all that they were chasing me on the ground while I was flying on the roof.
When I finally found the Imperial Study, I didn't care about my image at all and kicked the door open.
I was truly amazed by the books displayed in the imperial study.
I swayed and wandered around the huge study.
I casually flipped through each book on the bookshelf.
Since I had read some of the books before, I would toss them behind me after finishing each one.
It is unknown where it was lost.
In the end, I ransacked the imperial study, leaving it in a complete mess.
When I got tired of watching, I lay down on the ground and fell fast asleep.
"The assassin is here!" That's what the soldiers said when they found me.
It was already the morning of the second day.
Everyone stared in disbelief at me lying on the messy ground.
But the group of soldiers who found me was none other than Zhu Silang.
"It's you again? The dungeon can't hold you, do you want to be imprisoned in the capital? Drag him out and behead him!" He waved his hand without any politeness.
Are you going to behead me?
"Stop!" Luckily, it happened in a critical moment.
Zhu Xiaoba finally appeared and stopped it.
The young man from back then had become a weathered, middle-aged man, dressed in a bright yellow robe, and slowly walked over.
Although I don't remember his appearance very clearly anymore.
However, his sharp, eagle-like eyes felt familiar to me.
When Zhu Xiaoba saw me, he actually put on an excited look, as if he had seen a relative and was bursting into tears.
As the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a mother for life." Does he think I'm his mother?
I suddenly felt a pang of regret for not treating him better back then.
I thought he wouldn't believe my unchanging appearance, but I told him I was a fairy who had descended to earth to undergo tribulation.
So this is why I have an ageless appearance.
But he actually believed me when I said that.
They even threw a grand banquet and treated me with great hospitality.
But Zhu Silang, who sees me as a thorn in his side, is having a hard time.
I gave his father a good scolding and filed a complaint with the emperor.
As a result, he was forced to kneel on the ground for three hours, then flogged and confined to his quarters for a month.
Ranmo floated beside him, gloating and shouting, "Get up! Get up then!"
However, this time he was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for several days.
But that suits me perfectly.
Actually, Ranmo and I had already discussed it. I would bring him to the palace and have him teach me to identify whether this prince's soul was related to Wen Heng.
Zhu Silang's soul would become weak after being beaten with a board, so I tried to see if I could draw out all three souls and seven spirits of his.
That day, it was still evening when Ranmo and I arrived at Zhu Silang's residence in the middle of the night.
Following the mortal soul-summoning technique that Ranmo taught me, which requires no magic, I summoned Zhu Silang's three souls and seven spirits.
Sure enough, among the seven souls, there was indeed a gentle, lowered-eyed ghost.
The remaining three souls and six spirits belong to another unfamiliar man.
The moment I saw him, I was overwhelmed with emotion and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Ranmo, I miss him so much..."
"Ranmo, are you there?"
"I am here, I have always been here."
I asked excitedly, and he replied casually.
If he doesn't respond, I'll escalate my efforts to numb him and her with alcohol. It will interfere with his cultivation, so he has to respond to me constantly.
Two souls reside within one person's body.
What exactly happened?
Just as I was wondering what was going on, the underworld's ghost messengers suddenly appeared.
However, since it was Ah Niu who came, I didn't panic.
"So it was Ah Hua who summoned the soul!" Ah Niu understood as soon as he saw me.
"Yes, it's me."
"Luckily, it was me who came this time. If it were anyone else, you would have been dragged into the underworld by that soul-snatching rope long ago."
"What's wrong? The soul of the God Wenheng is inside him. Can't I move?"
As Ah Niu returned Zhu Silang's soul to his body, he said to me, "There are indeed fragments of the God Wenheng in his body, but he is not the God Wenheng. He is the immortal Lingyan who has come down to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation."
It turns out that when he went to the underworld to be reincarnated and undergo tribulation, the Reincarnation Well malfunctioned and injured one of the faces and souls of the Immortal Lingyan. At that moment, he also encountered a fragment of the soul of the God Wenheng, which was collected by a ghost messenger from the underworld.
