Chapter 207 High Priest: Very good, all die outside
Qi Yunshen took out the letter from Taoist Luo.
When the high priest saw the familiar handwriting, his expression paused, but he took the envelope and put it down without changing his expression.
"knew."
Jiang Yunzheng paused, then spoke again, "Master Luo has found Xie...Xie Jiang's location."
The high priest raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Yunzheng.
Jiang Yunzheng told the truth about the Zhuluo Snow Mountain.
After hearing this, the high priest suddenly laughed and said calmly: "That's good, they all died outside."
Jiang Yunzheng: “…”
Qi Yunshen: “…”
The high priest said half-seriously, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you know why I am so young? Because I don't think much."
Birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all human beings.
The high priest was Taoist Luo's master, yet he looked as young as a young man. Jiang Yunzheng had no intention of exploring the high priest's method of maintaining his youthful appearance. She stood up and saluted the high priest. "No matter what the outcome, I thank the high priest for his care."
The high priest glanced at Qi Yunshen and tapped the table with his fingers.
"I'm just the one who took advantage of the right time and place. If I really want to make it happen, I can't do it alone."
Jiang Yunzheng frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced at Qi Yunshen.
Qi Yunshen stood up and said, "If the Lord Priest has nothing else to tell you, we will take our leave now."
"Hey, wait!" The high priest stopped Jiang Yunzheng and said, "Before the ceremony officially begins, you must come to the priest's courtyard tomorrow and fast and purify your body. Go back and pack some things, and bring a servant to take care of you."
Jiang Yunzheng nodded: "I understand."
The high priest opened the envelope only after the two men had left.
The high priest scoffed.
This silly apprentice's handwriting is still as ugly as ever.
After reading the letter, the high priest crushed it into pieces.
What happened yesterday is unimaginable.
There were many formations in the priest's courtyard, so Jiang Yunzheng and Qi Yunshen returned along the same route they came.
Xie Ci and Xie Qing were still waiting for them in the side hall.
It was morning when we came, and it was getting dark when we left.
After Xie Xuan finished school, several young men and women from aristocratic families insisted on holding a welcoming banquet for Xie Xuan, and several carriages were parked in front of the gate of Xie's house.
The maidservant beside Xie Xuan waited at the door of Xie's house for Jiang Yunzheng.
Xie Ci: "Did Xie Xuan ask you to come?"
"Master Lin and Miss Qiao from the Gao family, as well as Master Ji Yu, are here to see the Third Miss. She wants to invite the Second Miss and Master Qi to come with her."
Gao Lin and Gao Qiao are the children of Gao Zhenxuan's sister, and are considered Xie Xuan's cousins. Ji Yu is the legitimate grandson of the Ji family's generation.
"Has she finished her homework?"
"Miss Third...I've finished writing for today."
There was some surprise in Xie Ci's eyes.
She said to Jiang Yunzheng, "If you don't want to go, I won't force you."
As long as Jiang Yunzheng is here, she is her daughter.
Jiang Yunzheng smiled faintly: "Third sister invited me so kindly, I naturally won't refuse."
Xie Ci knew that Xie Xuan had a bad temper and was always harsh with his words.
Xie Ci glanced at Qi Yunshen: "Take good care of her."
Qi Yunshen's lips curled slightly: "Yeah."
At this time, Xie Qing said: "Mom, I have something to talk to you about."
Xie Ci nodded, and only left with Xie Qing after seeing Jiang Yunzheng and the other person disappear from view.
The welcoming banquet was held in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, which separated the front and back yards.
Xie Xuan's voice could be heard from a distance.
"Actually, it's just so-so outside. There's nothing fun to do."
Gao Qiao: "Xuanxuan, how could that be? The book says that Daliang has mountains, rivers, and water, and is covered in gold, silver, pearls, and jade. Is it because you haven't been to any interesting places?"
Xie Xuan instantly recalled the inhumane days when he was locked up by Jiang Yunzheng!
Xie Xuan pounded the table. "How can there be gold and silver everywhere? I've been to many places in Daliang. Oh, and there's a village full of cannibalistic perverts! They only eat women and children!"
“…”
"abnormal……"
Nearing the lake, Jiang Yunzheng paused, "What did the high priest mean by that?"
Jiang Yunzheng always felt something was strange in her heart.
Qi Yunshen stared at the woman's face, "Jingyang, don't think too much."
Jiang Yunzheng: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Qi Yunshen: "I'm already here, what else can I hide from you?"
Jiang Yunzheng looked suspicious.
Qi Yunshen held Jiang Yunzheng's hand and walked forward. Someone in the pavilion saw them.
Gao Qiao blinked and asked, "Is that the second young lady's fiancé? Someone from outside?"
Xie Xuan glanced over there, his shoulders trembling, "Yeah."
Ji Yu followed Gao Qiao's gaze and was stunned for a moment, "That's your second sister?"
Xie Xuan was speechless: "That's right."
Everyone thinks Jiang Yunzheng and Xie Ci look alike.
But Xie Xuan just couldn't recognize her. In her opinion, they were obviously two completely different people. Xie Xuan had no feelings when she first met Jiang Yunzheng. If Uncle Li hadn't reminded her, she really wouldn't have associated Jiang Yunzheng with her mother.
Xie Xuan put away the books on the table, and the maids and servants brought the dishes and set the table.
Xie Xuan had a stern face and called Jiang Yunzheng, "Second sister, this way."
It’s true that Xie Xuan doesn’t like Jiang Yunzheng, but this is the Xie family’s business and cannot be laughed at by outsiders.
Jiang Yunzheng and the other person approached, and she glanced at the people in the pavilion.
Xie Xuan introduced: "This is my second sister, my second sister's fiancé."
"This is Ji Yu, Gao Lin, and Gao Qiao."
Several people nodded.
Among these people, Gao Lin is the oldest, followed by Ji Yu, Xie Xuan, and Gao Qiao.
There were exactly two empty seats between Ji Yu and Xie Xuan.
When Jiang Yunzheng was about to sit down, Qi Yunshen grabbed her waist and moved her to another seat.
Jiang Yunzheng didn't think much about it and sat next to Xie Xuan.
When Qi Yunshen sat down, he glanced coldly at Ji Yu beside him.
Ji Yu's earlobes turned red, he coughed lightly, and drank some tea to calm himself down.
Gao Qiao's gaze turned to Qi Yunshen, and his nails lightly scratched the wall of the teacup.
Xie Xuan picked up the chopsticks and asked, "Qiaoqiao, what are you looking at?"
Gao Qiao smiled and said, "Nothing, we're almost ready to eat."
Jiang Yunzheng's lips curled up into an ambiguous smile, "Yes, eat it."
As she spoke, Jiang Yunzheng secretly twisted Qi Yunshen's waist with her left hand.
Qi Yunshen lowered his eyes slightly and took Jiang Yunzheng's hand.
Jiang Yunzheng looked at him and couldn't pull her hand away.
Gao Lin took in the expressions of the people present. He raised his teacup and said, "Xuanxuan still has to review her lessons tonight, so let's not drink. Let's use tea instead of wine to toast the Second Miss and Master Qi."
Jiang Yunzheng smiled: "Cheers."
Everyone had different thoughts in their mind, only Xie Xuan was showing off wildly.
Qi Yunshen slowly poured a bowl of soup for Jiang Yunzheng and said, "Drink slowly."
Gao Qiao: "The Second Miss and Master Qi have a really good relationship."
Xie Xuan was concentrating on eating, and took a moment to say, "It's really good, so good that my second sister never even looks at me."
Gao Qiaomian's face froze.
Jiang Yunzheng: “?”
Jiang Yunzheng smiled and picked up a chicken leg for Xie Xuan. She said softly, "Little sister, eat slowly."
Xie Xuan's eyes flickered.
"Don't do this, I'm scared."
Jiang Yunzheng: “…”
During the meal, Qi Yunshen seldom spoke, and it was mostly Xie Xuan and Gao Qiao who did the talking.
After dinner, Qi Yunshen sent Jiang Yunzheng back to the yard.
Xie Xuan was anxious to go back and catch up on his previous lessons, so he let the remaining three people make their own arrangements and hurriedly left the pavilion in the center of the lake.
Gao Qiao kept looking at the direction where Qi Yunshen and Jiang Yunzheng disappeared.
In his eyes was the excitement and thrill of a hunter seeing his desired prey.
Gao Lin looked at his sister and said, "After dinner, we should go back."
Gao Qiao understood Gao Lin's implication and smiled, "Brother, don't you think this is interesting?"
Ji Yu put away his previous innocent look.
He fanned himself and smiled, "Master Lin is just too dignified and steady."
Ji Yu and Gao Qiao looked at each other in tacit understanding.
