Chapter 194 Comparison and Pocket Money
Nan Lezhi looked at Bai Yunshu, nodded to show his greeting, and said that everything was fine.
"And you?"
"That's good."
Bai Yunshu answered honestly.
What else could have happened to her besides being stabbed twice?
"Why are you here too? Do you have a mission too?"
Nan Lezhi asked and Bai Yunshu nodded.
"Yes, the letter said that there were ghosts and monsters running rampant in the mountains. The villagers were in a panic and worried about their own safety. So I accepted the mission on behalf of my apprentice and came to take a look."
The letter of request will depend on the actual situation. For such places, it is generally free and no fees will be charged.
But Nan Le knew that the letter they received was different. It was a letter from a wealthy businessman outside the village, saying that he had married a "bride" from this village and brought her home, causing unrest in his family.
Nan Lezhi led Yan Weiwan to take on the task, and based on the clues of the "bride", they found this place.
Bai Yunshu understood.
"Perhaps, there is some special connection between the two things."
As she spoke, Nan Lezhi nodded.
"Maybe."
She is somewhat frugal with words.
Afterwards, Nan Lezhi chatted with Bai Yunshu for a while. When he was about to call his apprentice to tell him something, he turned around and found that the apprentice who was next to him was gone.
Bai Yunshu’s apprentice is also gone.
She frowned, Bai Yunshu patted her shoulder and raised his hand to signal her to look at the big tree in the distance.
Yan Weiwan and Qi Ningzhu had already gone to a big tree, squatting on the ground, exchanging the things they brought for each other like children, and also complaining about their two masters.
Both of them had their backs to their master, and although they spoke in a low voice, they could still be heard by the other two, which was somewhat like trying to cover up one's own faults.
Especially Yan Weiwan, she never stopped talking.
"My master? After all, my master is a man of the Way of Oblivion. I feel like she... well, isn't very interested in anything. She's cold and indifferent to everyone, including me. And I'm only interested in her ability to make money, but I still owe her a lot of money."
"Isn't this just working to pay off my debts? Oh, I like this, thank you. Let me tell you, I earned some money from completing missions, and after buying the things I wanted to give you, I gave it all to my master. I didn't keep a single cent..."
What she said sounded particularly pitiful. Qi Ningzhu felt that they were both similar, so he patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"It's okay, it's the same for me. My master buys in the front, and I make a small purse in the back to pay for it... Although, half of the things bought are mine."
She felt a little guilty when she said the latter part, and Yan Weiwan noticed a red spot on her neck with his sharp eyes.
"That's not bad. I can see that Elder Yingsu treats you very well. What's that on your neck? Was it a mosquito bite?"
She looked puzzled, and Qi Ningzhu smiled awkwardly.
"right……"
She wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but Yan Weiwan just rolled her eyes at her.
"Qi Yinhuan, where do mosquitoes come from in winter? You wouldn't say that you and your master... Oh~ I knew it, little guy, why are you pretending?"
She had a gossipy look on her face. Qi Ningzhu bit her lip, her face flushed red, not knowing what to say.
Seeing her reaction, Yan Weiwan knew that his guess had been confirmed, and he looked at her with an expression that said, "I understand."
She looked serious as she played with the little charm Qi Ningzhu had given her.
"After all, we're looking at picture books together. I understand. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm very open-minded about this."
Behind them, Nan Lezhi looked at Bai Yunshu meaningfully after hearing these words, with a look that was full of "you are a beast".
Qi Ningzhu's small body...tsk, now his cultivation has reached such a high level, you can imagine how much Bai Yunshu has done to him every day.
Bai Yunshu: “…”
"What's with that look in your eyes? Did you misunderstand something..."
Nan Lezhi didn't say anything, just looked at me and said, "You figure it out yourself."
Bai Yunshu sighed, feeling that he could not wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
The two people were still chirping quietly in the distance. Bai Yunshu looked at Nan Lezhi and couldn't help but speak.
"Is this how you treat your apprentice? You don't even leave her any extra money? Why does it sound so pathetic?"
Nan Lezhi thought about it.
"No, they're all mine. Besides, she still owes me so much. I'm afraid she'll have to take on hundreds of missions... and she might not be able to pay me back. After all, she blew up another magic weapon of mine a few days ago, and I haven't credited her yet."
She spoke in a very serious manner and Bai Yunshu let out a light "tsk".
"What do you need so much money for? Besides, with your temper, you should be content with having a disciple following you around eagerly. Normally, the other disciples wouldn't dare approach you. If you lose this... it would be so bad to be all alone."
Nan Lezhi thought for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm more used to being alone... As for the money, I'll keep it for nothing. Who would complain about having too much money?"
Bai Yunshu nodded in affirmation.
"What you said actually makes some sense. But if you really didn't like her, you would have chased her away long ago. Why would you let her chatter around you? Okay, let them both come over, and we'll go in and ask them together."
Nan Lezhi nodded, and heard Bai Yunshu beside him call out in an especially gentle voice.
"My little disciple, come here. Let's go and find out the whole story first. It won't be too late to chat later."
Qi Ningzhu stood up, replied yes and walked over.
Beside him, Nan Lezhi spoke in a cold voice.
"Yan Weiwan."
Yan Weiwan was startled and hurried to her.
"Disciple is here."
Indeed, there is no harm without comparison.
Bai Yunshu and Qi Ningzhu walked in front, while Yan Weiwan and Nan Lezhi walked behind.
Nan Lezhi suddenly stopped with his eyes narrowed, took out a purse from his sleeve and threw it into Yan Weiwan's arms.
Yan Weiwan looked puzzled.
"Master...what is this?"
"Pocket money."
Nan Lezhi looked at her, said two words extremely uncomfortably, and then walked ahead.
She is very frugal with words, and Yan Weiwan's expression is really fake?
She hurried to catch up with Nan Lezhi and asked while holding the purse.
"Master? You won't ask me to pay you back, will you?"
Nan Lezhi lowered his eyes.
"No, stop talking nonsense, you're so noisy."
Yan Weiwan didn't care that she was noisy, and put the purse in her arms like a treasure.
Nan Lezhi would complain about her being noisy almost every day, but there was nothing he could do because she was a chatterbox and couldn't be suppressed.
"Thank you, Master. Master is so kind. Long live Master! Master is the best!"
She kept talking nonsense, and Nan Lezhi looked back at her and signaled her to shut up. It was really noisy.
Is it really that serious? Are you so happy?
The four of them went to the village chief's house together. The village chief was an old man over fifty years old. When he saw them, he hurriedly asked his grandson to prepare tea and serve it to them.
"May I ask the four immortals, are we all here for the same thing?"
Bai Yunshu didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"We are here because of the ghost in the back mountain."
Nan Lezhi also spoke.
"We are here to discuss the Ji family's marriage proposal."
The village chief nodded and indicated that they should talk about it one by one.
