In the past, he was so glamorous, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse. He was extremely favored by his master, and those outside always had to give him some respect.
Now, if I were to encounter someone like that, they would probably be riding roughshod over me.
"I'm not going back." Wen Wuquan waved his hand, not noticing the fleeting disappointment on Changfeng's face.
Even if he noticed it, he wouldn't change his original plan.
Master Sanyang followed Master Changling toward the capital. Along the way, Lu Qingyan would occasionally come out to tease Master Changling, pestering him to tell her little stories. The journey wasn't too boring. Unbeknownst to Master Changling, his gaze toward Lu Qingyan had gradually become much gentler.
Master Sanyang didn't notice it at first, but one time he happened to bump into it. He was startled by the gentle look in his master's eyes.
It's rare for a Taoist priest to marry, but it's not unheard of. But... but his master fell for a female ghost. Although this female ghost was quite pretty and didn't seem to have any karmic debts, that didn't change the fact that she was a ghost.
The Taoist priest was deeply troubled. His only consolation was that his master had not yet discovered this. He truly hoped that his usually astute master could be a little oblivious at this moment and not actually see through anything.
They arrived in the capital without incident, and Daoist Changling headed straight for the Grand Tutor's residence.
With such a prestigious reputation, who wouldn't give him face? Thus, Daoist Changling appeared before Grand Tutor He Jinshu without any trouble, accompanied by Lu Qingyan.
"So it's Daoist Changling. May I ask what brings you here?" Although He Jinshu didn't believe in those mystical things, he couldn't help but respect Daoist Changling's royal status.
"I've come here on someone's behalf to ask if Grand Tutor He still remembers a romantic affair from back then." Master Changling was always straightforward, and upon hearing this, Grand Tutor He's face turned red with anger.
He's so old now, how could he still remember those things? It was just a fleeting thought when he was young, who would care? If this matter hadn't been mentioned, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but having Daoist Changling say it made his face feel like it had been slapped in the face.
"Master, although I am a bit of a womanizer, I have never done anything evil. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to slander my innocence like this?" Grand Tutor He said, his neck red.
"Do you really not remember at all the person you met when you went to the capital for the imperial examination?" Master Changling stared intently into his eyes, trying to discern some clue, but ultimately to no avail.
His expression was so calm, as if he really didn't remember anything.
A flash of anger crossed Master Changling's face. He couldn't have made a mistake in his divination; it could only mean that someone was sabotaging him.
Even though he had made himself perfectly clear, Grand Tutor He still pretended not to understand.
"Do you really remember nothing?" Master Changling asked, unwilling to give up.
Grand Tutor He nodded, looking at Daoist Changling with a confused expression, clearly unsure of what he was referring to.
Madam He happened to arrive at this place and bumped into Taoist Master Changling.
Looking at her husband being questioned by the Taoist priest Changling, she said with heartache, "Just tell me what you want to ask, don't make things difficult for my husband."
