Chapter 349: Entering the Daytime Palace (1)
After explaining the matter clearly, Tao Zi and others got up and left, returning to their room.
Xi Jing relaxed as soon as she entered the room and said, "Senior Sister, don't you think the atmosphere in the lobby is so solemn? I can't help but act more ladylike when I sit down."
Tao Zi nodded silently and added, "But it's not depressing, it's just not that relaxing."
Han Yueshan sat there carefree and started to complain, "Don't mention it, Senior Sister. Before you came, we just followed Senior Cheng to eat. I never knew there were so many rules for eating."
Zhao Xue thought of what happened earlier in the morning, and held his forehead with his hand and said, "That's not so bad, but when the maid came in to serve me this morning, I was stunned."
"I think it's pretty good. The ladies are all very gentle and considerate, and they're pretty good-looking."
She glanced at her second junior apprentice brother. Xi Jing and Zhao Xue looked at her second junior apprentice brother. Finally, Xi Jing said, "Senior apprentice brother, your focus is always different from ours."
Han Yueshan touched his nose and changed the subject with a smile: "By the way, what realm is this senior at?"
Tao Zi frowned and said, "I can't tell. From my perception, he is an ordinary mortal."
Xi Jing said subconsciously: "That's unlikely. Judging from his temperament, if there really is a mortal like him, it can only be us."
Before she could say anything, Cheng Wuchou knocked on the door: "Tao Zi, can I come in?"
"convenient."
He pushed the door open and came in. He wasn't surprised to see a group of monks and a fox in the room. He said, "Tao Zi, I'm here for the Dayless Forest."
Having said that, he paused and looked at Han Yueshan and the others. They immediately understood what he meant and left.
Tao Zi pointed to a chair, motioned him to sit down, and asked, "Are there any precautions?"
Cheng Wuchou said softly, "Tao Zi, I just talked to the master and decided to take only you with me. You don't need to bring your fellow apprentice brothers and sisters."
She looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why?"
"The gentleman's meaning is that you alone are enough."
Tao Zi frowned and said, "I need a reason. To be honest, I'm worried about Xi Jing and the other two staying here alone."
He expressed his understanding and explained, "The master said that your fate was tampered with. This is a disguised way of escaping your predetermined fate. Although the other three escaped death, it was only a postponement of death, not as complete as yours."
She lowered her eyes and said slowly, "I need to think about it for a while."
"We'll be leaving in three days. You can think about it carefully. We'll do our best to meet any requests you have."
She made the decision in just one day and went to find her husband in person.
When she arrived at the study, Tao Zi happened to see the teacher sitting by the window, concentrating on writing. The sunlight and the shadows of the trees fell on his side face, making the scenery picturesque.
She suddenly felt that the title of "Sir" was indeed appropriate for him.
The gentleman looked up and saw her, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Zi, why are you standing there?"
The old voice suddenly woke her up. She responded with a smile and then walked in through the door.
The gentleman put down his pen and said gently, "Xiao Zi, is there something wrong?"
"Regarding Master Cheng's suggestion that I accompany you to the Dayless Forest alone, I have a small request."
He said, "Xiao Zi, we are here to ask for something, so we must agree to all your conditions. Tell me."
"My three junior brothers and sisters are shy by nature. I'm really worried about them being alone. Can you ask some friends to come and look after them?"
The gentleman smiled and said, "That's no problem, but the choice of person still needs to be discussed."
Tao Zi already had candidates in mind and said, "Two, one named Yue Qingya, a Yuanying Daoist cultivator, and one named Li Xiu, a Xuanzhao medical cultivator. In addition, they might also bring a fox and a little phoenix to keep Jiao'er company."
He waved his hand, and the person next to him immediately lowered his head and left.
She thanked him, and the gentleman said, "No need. It's our responsibility to make you feel at ease. It's a good time to go see them now and talk to them about this matter."
Tao Zi naturally had no objection and followed her husband to the garden.
Just as they reached the garden entrance, Han Yueshan's playful voice rang out: "Beautiful sister, how do you do this makeup? I want to learn."
Shy by nature...
The gentleman glanced at Tao Zi with a smile. She stood there as if nothing had happened, as steady as a mountain.
When they entered, Zhao Xue was holding a book in his hand, Xi Jing was teasing a bird, and Han Yueshan was there with a playful smile on his face.
Seeing them coming, Xi Jing immediately put down the cage in her hand and ran towards Tao Zi: "Senior Sister!"
Tao Zi caught her and said, "Senior Sister came to you because she has something to say. Yueshan, come here!"
Han Yueshan scratched his head and came over obediently.
She briefly explained the situation, and Zhao Xue immediately frowned and said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Senior Sister to go there alone?"
Tao Zi smiled and said, "The little fox will come over here, you just stay with it."
With the little fox around, she could contact them through it. Han Yueshan and the other two also realized what was going on and responded in unison.
To prevent them from spending that time in a state of restless thoughts, Tao Zi asked again, "Yueshan, do you still remember Nanyimen and He Mama, who killed Yu Niang?"
Han Yueshan said without hesitation: "Of course I remember, Senior Sister, what's wrong?"
"Don't you want to chat with an old friend?"
He blinked and smiled instantly, but his tone was particularly cold: "Of course I thought so."
This matter is settled.
Three days later, Yue Qingya and others rushed over, but before they could say a few more words, Tao Zi was about to leave.
Li Xiu watched them leave and comforted Yue Qingya beside him: "Master Yue, Master told me that this matter is not a big problem, just wait patiently."
Yue Qingya sighed and said, "I understand, but the Dayless Forest is really hard to enter, and this place is also..."
He swallowed the rest of his words and didn't say any more.
The gentleman stood at a window and watched them go away. A guard who had been standing to the side with his head bowed stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Sir, is she that one?"
"No." The gentleman suppressed the gentleness on his face and said, "She has already sacrificed herself. She no longer exists in this world."
The guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "People still have some feelings for that person. If she is truly his reincarnation, it might be beneficial to us."
He glanced at him, and the guard immediately knelt down, not daring to say anything.
The gentleman's tone softened a bit. "She's not that person. She's just an ordinary cultivator. She can't bear that kind of responsibility. Moreover, a reincarnated person has no obligation to bear the responsibilities of their previous life. She is Tao Zi, and only Tao Zi."
The guard murmured in agreement and dared not say anything else.
The gentleman looked at the figure gradually disappearing outside the window and remained silent for a long time.
