“You child, Master Xuankong loves you very much, but he just hasn’t said it out of pride.”
Zhang Wenxiu instructed Steward Liu, "Go to the dressing table in my room and fetch a black box."
Butler Liu jogged upstairs, handed the box to Lin Xi, and then left with Wu Ma and the other servants.
The second essential quality of a housekeeper is the ability to read between the lines.
Lin Xi opened the box, and a familiar yellow talisman came into view; it was indeed her master's scribbles.
The talismans drawn by the master, like the man himself, were hasty and careless.
Fu Jianhua asked curiously, "Lin Xi, what kind of talisman is this?"
"The image talisman... Master must have left me a letter."
Lin Xi gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips and gently tapped the yellow talisman.
The talisman moved on its own without wind, flew into the air, and slowly formed a human figure.
This is Master Xuan Kong!
Fu Jianhua was a little surprised when he saw this.
He knew Xuan Kong Daoist's abilities well, but he never expected Lin Xiqing to surpass him, possessing such abilities without even spitting blood.
Back then, Master Xuankong saved Zhang Wenxiu by performing rituals and even coughing up blood. He was busy for a whole day and night before Zhang Wenxiu finally woke up.
Master Xuankong told Fu Jianhua that the evil spirit possessing Zhang Wenxiu was too powerful, and it took him half of his lifespan to get rid of it.
Fu Jianhua was so moved that he wept bitterly, "Daoist Master, thank you so much! Whatever you need, as long as it's within my power, I, Fu Jianhua, will do it, even if it means going through fire and water..."
Master Xuankong revealed a mysterious smile, "I want Fu Jingyao to be engaged to my disciple."
"Such a good thing!" Fu Jianhua readily agreed.
In retrospect, the Fu family profited.
Fu Jingyao, that kid, got a formidable wife for free.
Fu Jianhua liked Lin Xi more and more the more he looked at her.
At this moment, the illusory figure of Daoist Xuan Kong spoke: "Lin Xi, my dear disciple, your master is so reluctant to part with you, but unfortunately, by the time you hear these words, your master will already be dead."
Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu felt a pang of anxiety and quickly comforted the person beside them, "Lin Xi, you still have us and Jingyao. If anyone bullies you, just tell us."
Fu Jianhua desperately tried to signal to Fu Jingyao with his eyes.
He's just standing there like a block of wood, say something!
After a long pause, Fu Jingyao finally managed to say, "Lin Xi, please accept my condolences."
Fu Jianhua was exasperated and slapped him, saying, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
Fu Jingyao: "..."
Didn't you just tell me to say that?
Lin Xi cleared her throat a few times. "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
In the air, Master Xuankong stroked his beard. "Linxi, now that your master isn't by your side, take good care of yourself. Eat and sleep on time, and don't stay up late..."
He said a lot of emotional things, but Lin Xi didn't show any expression. Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu cried nonstop.
Fu Jianhua waved his hand, "Master Xuankong, you can go ahead. We will take good care of Lin Xi."
Master Xuankong's shadow grew fainter and fainter. "Disciple, don't find your master's nagging annoying. There's one last thing..."
Lin Xi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Master Xuankong shouted loudly, "Lin Xi, hurry up and have yin-yang intercourse with Fu Jingyao."
"If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times."
"Hehehe! You know what I mean, don't play dumb."
"Master loves you~"
He made a heart shape with his hands and then disappeared.
Lin Xi covered her face in embarrassment, her ears turning slightly red.
Her master is still the same master, always finding ways to trick her.
Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu looked at each other in surprise. The Taoist priest was really lively.
Fu Jingyao stared straight out the window.
For a moment, it was extremely awkward.
Just then, Butler Liu knocked on the door. "Master, Madam, Young Master, Miss Lin, dinner is ready."
The third rule of a butler's professional conduct is to appear immediately when the master needs them and get out of there promptly when they don't.
Butler Liu flashed a polite smile, revealing eight teeth, and said, "Please come in, everyone. Aunt Wu has already set the table."
"Oh, dinner's ready."
Zhang Wenxiu pulled Lin Xi to sit down and personally ladled her a bowl of chicken soup. "Come, come, Lin Xi, don't be shy, you're too thin."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Lin Xi didn't stand on ceremony and took the bowl of chicken soup to start eating.
At the dining table, Zhang Wenxiu and Fu Jianhua exchanged a glance and nodded silently.
Fu Jianhua pinched Fu Jingyao, "Stop eating, talk to me."
Fu Jingyao put down his chopsticks and started making awkward small talk, "Lin Xi, who else is in your family?"
Lin Xi, who was engrossed in eating, took a moment to reply, "My parents abandoned me as soon as I was born, and I've been practicing with my master ever since."
“After my master passed away, I lived alone.”
"I'm sorry." Fu Jingyao felt a pang of guilt; he really didn't know how to chat with girls.
Lin Xi said calmly, "It's nothing, I'm fine living alone."
“My master was never at the Taoist temple before, so I would go down the mountain to catch ghosts by myself. The villagers down the mountain were very kind to me and always saved the chicken legs for me to eat.”
Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu started wiping away tears again, imagining a tragic drama unfolding in their minds.
Oh, this child is so pitiful.
Zhang Wenxiu frantically piled food onto Lin Xi's plate, saying, "Come on, eat, don't think about those sad things."
Lin Xi puffed out her cheeks. "I'm not sad."
When she was a child, she saw that all the children in the village had parents, and she asked her master why she didn't have parents.
Master patted her head. "Lin Xi, you can go see if you want, but you have little connection with your family, so some things can't be forced."
Lin Xi went to see it secretly.
They were a happy family, living a very fulfilling life.
That day, her father happened to mention her, saying, "That jinx is dead and that's that. Don't mention her again."
Lin Xi was heartbroken for several days, and then stopped thinking about it.
