Chapter 423 Son of Fortune
Xie Qingyun stood at the entrance of the village, his eyes inadvertently cast towards the depths of the village road, and from afar he saw two women walking out of the village hand in hand.
The two girls have their own unique looks, and both are beautiful people with outstanding looks.
But one of them seemed to have a special aura surrounding her. At first glance, one could clearly sense her uniqueness.
In Xie Qingyun's eyes, this specialness does not come from appearance or figure.
Instead, it was the faint golden light emanating from around her body.
That is the scene that only appears when merit and luck are intertwined!
There was no need for any further proof. With just one glance, Xie Qingyun was certain in his heart that this was the son of destiny that his master had been searching for!
What surprised him a little was that this so-called child of destiny turned out to be a little girl.
She doesn't look very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old at most. How could she have such great merit and fortune?
Sure enough, nothing about the Son of Destiny can be explained by common sense.
He wanted to see what was different about this person compared to ordinary cultivators.
Gu Jiayue's clothes were simple, just everyday attire. She didn't wear any dazzling jewelry, but her calm and relaxed demeanor made it hard to look away.
It is a kind of confidence that radiates from the inside out, natural and without any affectation.
Gu Jiayue and the other person did not walk too far out of the village. They just stopped about five meters away from Xie Qingyun, keeping a safe distance.
"Master, I heard from the village chief that you have something to ask me?"
Xie Qingyun finally recovered from his shock and his gaze fell on Gu Jiayue. "Could this girl be the talented person who wrote this textbook?"
Gu Jiayue took the textbook he handed over, and with just a glance, she recognized that it was indeed compiled by her.
"I really don't deserve the title of capable person. I'm just a bit clever." She handed the textbook back and asked calmly, "Master, what brings you here today?"
"It's like this. I have admired your talent for a long time and would like to sit down and discuss with you and exchange knowledge. May I ask if you have this opportunity?" Xie Qingyun's tone was deliberately gentle, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Jiayue.
this……
Gu Jiayue felt a little suspicious, thinking that what this person said was a bit exaggerated.
This textbook is used as an introduction to children just starting school, and some of the content in it does seem a bit novel and eye-opening at the moment. But ultimately, its success lies only in its novel ideas.
This master, like the one before him, was evidently a man of exceptional intelligence and profound knowledge. He would likely read the textbook he had compiled much like a university student reading an elementary school textbook, seeing through its intricacies at a glance. Combining this with his own experience, he would quickly grasp the profound meaning within.
Therefore, there is no question of any competition or contest at all.
There must be an unknown secret behind this person!
"Master, you are too kind." Gu Jiayue nodded slightly, her tone polite but distant. "Master Guan is also a man of great refinement. If it were any other time, I would certainly invite you into the courtyard to sit down, drink and chat, and learn from you. But now is a special period, and the county magistrate has ordered that we are not allowed to interact too much with outsiders. I hope you will forgive me."
Xie Qingyun seemed to be well prepared and immediately responded, "Don't worry, young lady. I have had a special physique since I was a child and am immune to all poisons. This little plague can't do anything to me."
"Master, that doesn't count." Gu Jiayue shook her head slightly, her expression becoming more serious. "This plague came about strangely and is extremely dangerous. So far, we haven't found a complete cure. No one can guarantee that they are 100% free of pathogens, right?"
She felt that the rejection she had expressed was already very clear. Could it be that this person really couldn't hear it?
She paused and continued to persuade him kindly: "Master, how about you go back first and wait until this plague is completely over before coming back to visit me? I will definitely treat you well then."
But Xie Qingyun obviously had no intention of leaving and continued to persevere.
Ye Yunshang, who was standing aside, quietly tugged at Gu Jiayue's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Sister Gu, I think this guy is really weird. The way he looks at you, I always feel something is not right!"
It's like a customer in a shopping mall choosing goods.
Ye Yuntang wondered in her heart, could it be that this guy has fallen in love with her sister Gu?
But...can Taoist priests get married?
Gu Jiayue actually felt that the man in front of her had ulterior motives, and she became more and more reluctant to let him enter the village. She just wanted to send him away quickly.
After being rejected repeatedly, the gentleness on Xie Qingyun's face gradually faded and his patience was also worn away a lot.
But he always kept his master's advice in mind.
The Son of Fortune has great luck and can always turn danger into safety. If you kill him directly, it may cause unpredictable troubles and even be affected by the cause and effect and implicate yourself.
It’s better to find an opportunity to stay by her side first, observe her slowly, and then take action against her slowly!
With this in mind, he changed his perspective and said sincerely, "The girl just said that you haven't found a cure for the plague yet? I'm not very talented, but I've been studying medicine with my master since I was a child. I have some unique insights into various epidemics. Maybe I can help you all?" Upon hearing this, Gu Jiayue couldn't help but look him up and down, with obvious suspicion in her eyes.
But the disciple of the national master should not bother to use such things to lie, right?
She thought for a moment and said, "In that case, please return to the county town to see the county magistrate. All the doctors in the county are currently working together in the county government office to develop a prescription to treat the epidemic. You will surely be able to play a greater role there."
This time, Xie Qingyun didn't insist. "Okay, then I'll go to the county town first and work with the county magistrate to develop a cure for the plague. Once we succeed, I'll come back and talk to you about it!"
Seeing Xie Qingyun's figure really disappear at the end of the road, Ye Yunshang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said, "Sister, I was really afraid that he would suddenly rush over and beat us to death. I held the thunder bomb tightly in my hand, and my palms were sweating."
"What makes you think he's going to kill us? Wasn't he quite polite when he spoke just now?"
Ye Yuntang shook his head and said seriously: "It's a feeling. It's a feeling that is hard to explain."
The two of them talked and laughed, then turned and walked towards the village. They had no idea that they had just walked through the gates of hell.
As for Xie Qingyun, after leaving Taohua Village, he went straight to the county government office in the county town.
Zheng Qinghe was handling official business in the county government office. When he saw Xie Qingyun suddenly appear, his face was full of surprise and astonishment.
The Xie family is also one of the most prominent families in Kyoto.
However, Xie Qingyun, as the most promising member of the new generation of the Xie family, resolutely walked into the Imperial Master's Mansion at the age of ten and became the Imperial Master's last disciple.
The reason behind this is still unknown.
"We haven't seen each other for five years, right?" Xie Qingyun picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and his eyes fell on Zheng Qinghe who was sitting on his left. His tone was flat, but with a hint of imperceptible familiarity.
Both of them were powerful young masters in the capital and had known each other since childhood.
But later on, Xie Qingyun devoted himself to practicing with his master and rarely appeared in public. He also gradually lost contact with his old friends.
Zheng Qinghe used to be one of his best playmates, but later on, their lives went their separate ways and their relationship faded.
When Zheng Qinghe heard this, a nostalgic look appeared on his face, and his tone was filled with emotion: "Yes, when I think back to the time when we studied together in the academy, it feels like a lifetime ago."
The two chatted about some past anecdotes, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Finally, Zheng Qinghe put away his memories first and asked, "Why did you come to a place like this?"
Xie Qingyun smiled and asked, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you? Why did you end up in a place like this? With your family background, you don't need to work in such a remote county."
"I want to rely on my own efforts to re-enter the vision of the powerful." Zheng Qinghe's tone was somewhat firm, but also somewhat helpless. "Since I was a child, people have always said that I have a good father. No matter how well I test or how much I progress in my studies, they always only see my father's power and status, not me as a person."
In this regard, Xie Qingyun remained silent and did not make any judgment.
He changed the subject and asked, "I heard that you ordered that the villagers in your jurisdiction cannot move around freely, and outsiders are not allowed to enter?"
"Yes, this is to prevent a widespread outbreak of plague." Zheng Qinghe sighed, his face filled with worry. "Right now, disasters have hit all parts of Dagan. We can't gather enough medicinal materials, and we haven't developed a cure for the plague yet. Seeing people die from the plague every day, as their father and mother, I feel really bad."
"Let me go see the patient first." Xie Qingyun stood up and said calmly, "I've been with Master for the past few years, and I've accumulated some research and experience in epidemics. Perhaps I can help."
"That's great!" Zheng Qinghe was so excited that he almost stood up from his chair. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly started coughing, "Cough cough cough..."
Xie Qingyun didn't say much. He walked up, took his wrist and began to take his pulse.
After a moment, he frowned slightly, his tone becoming somewhat serious. "Your pulse is very strange..."
It is somewhat like a cold, but more complicated than a cold, with an indescribable feeling of stagnation.
"I have a detoxification pill here. Take it first." Xie Qingyun took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and handed it to Zheng Qinghe. "I'll go see a few more patients and understand their situation."
He added, "Has the source of the plague been found? If we can find the source, we can better research the cure."
Zheng Qinghe swallowed the pill and felt the discomfort in his throat ease a little. He quickly said, "Yes. The doctor from Taohua Village came this morning and brought some water and corpses. He said it's very likely that these things carry the plague. I'll take you to see it right away."
It's Taohua Village again...
