After leaving the capital, Master Changling remained taciturn, and Lu Qingyan also quieted down considerably, obediently staying by his side.
As for the Three Yang Daoist who originally followed them, he had long been driven far away by the Changling Daoist under the pretext of cultivating and experiencing on his own.
When Master Changling and Lu Qingyan were together, everyone could see the deep understanding between them, but they never said it out loud.
Later, Lu Qingyan heard some news that Lord He and Madam He had another conflict, and the two were at odds with each other, making a fool of themselves at the banquet.
Later, I heard that Lord He and Lady He had reconciled, but Lord He was preparing to resign from his post and retire from worldly affairs.
All of these messages were half true and half false, and Lu Qingyan couldn't tell which ones were false for a while.
But whether it's true or not is irrelevant to her; she's content as long as she knows they're still alive and well.
"Moon Maiden." After many years, Daoist Changling took the initiative to release Lu Qingyan. He looked at the woman, or rather the female ghost, in front of him, and she hadn't changed at all, just like when he first saw her.
Lu Qingyan looked at him as well. So many years had passed, yet he showed no signs of aging. At his level of cultivation, maintaining an unchanged appearance was easy for him.
Since meeting He Jinshu, Lu Qingyan has rarely come out of there. This is the first time that Daoist Changling has taken the initiative to release her.
"Is something wrong?" Lu Qingyan blinked and asked, puzzled.
It's fine for me to stay by his side like this now. Maybe I'll go back someday when the time is right. This world isn't difficult. The people she wanted revenge on all brought it upon themselves. She didn't seem to have put in much effort, but she doesn't know why she's still here.
"Can't I call you out if there's nothing wrong?" Master Changling smiled and said, "I won't lock you up anymore. Just stay by my side like this."
Master Changling waved his hand and helped her change into a Taoist robe.
Lu Qingyan: "..." No, I don't want to wear this outfit at all, it's just too ugly.
But when facing someone more powerful than herself, she dared not refute him. She could only secretly change into her favorite colored dress when he wasn't looking. Although he would eventually turn it into a Taoist robe, Lu Qingyan never tired of it.
On one or two occasions, Master Changling would never restrain her.
Lu Qingyan also caught his gaze on her once or twice. She couldn't describe the feeling, which made her want to get close to him, yet she was also afraid to approach him.
Confused, she obediently followed Master Changling without mentioning anything. Master Changling also encountered many troubles on the road, and in most cases, Lu Qingyan resolved them. Perhaps important figures didn't like to focus their attention on people they didn't need to pay attention to, so Lu Qingyan was forced to play the role of his henchman.
Those who had received their favors even gave Lu Qingyan a nickname, something like "fairy." Lu Qingyan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this; she wasn't a fairy at all, but a ghost.
A ghost following a Taoist priest to exorcise demons might seem unbelievable to outsiders, but Lu Qingyan's constant companionship with Taoist Changling left many speechless.
Even with cultivation, no one in this world can truly live forever.
