Master Yunxu, who wanders the world like a carefree hermit, might suffer retribution for getting involved in my affairs.
"Then, Taoist Master, will you suffer a backlash for revealing heavenly secrets?"
Master Yunxu smiled and said, "Your fate was already sealed, and your appearance is a good thing. Since Heaven has not written a future for you, what harm is there in me trying to fight for it for you?"
Xu Zhuohua finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there any way for me to survive?"
Master Yunxu smiled mysteriously, "Didn't Heaven arrange something for you?"
Xu Zhuohua thought of Liang Shaozun.
"Liang Shaozun and Liang Yuanfu?"
Master Yunxu nodded. “You are now helping that person who deserves to die to bear their fate. As long as you return the identity to her, you will not have to die.”
Xu Zhuohua immediately became alert, "Who?"
"It doesn't matter who it is. I have already promised Young Marshal Cheng that I will not tell you."
Xu Zhuohua felt a chill run down her spine. "When did Cheng Muyun arrive?"
Master Yunxu frowned. "On the third day of the lunar month, he broke into Baiyun Temple all by himself."
It turns out that Cheng Muyun disappeared for a whole day on the third day of junior high school because he came to Baiyun Temple.
The footprints Xu Jixin saw at the foot of the mountain were left by Cheng Muyun. Xu Jixin was not mistaken; they were indeed familiar footprints.
"What did he come to ask you?"
“He asked you if what you said was true, and I answered truthfully. Then he asked how to keep you from dying, and I told him. After that, he sat on the futon at your feet for a whole day.”
That's it?
That's all.
Xu Zhuohua recalled that in the days that followed, Cheng Muyun did indeed rely on her a lot, and he seemed very busy, leaving early and returning late.
"You can tell Cheng Muyun, why can't you tell me? Was Luo Yunqiao the one who should have died?"
Master Yunxu's face showed a sorrowful expression. "Forgive me for not being able to answer."
Xu Zhuohua clenched her fists, a surge of anger rising within her. What was Cheng Muyun up to now? Was he going to keep it from her again? He had clearly promised to face all difficulties together, and he had broken his promise once more.
"Fine, I don't want to know who will die in my place. I want to know how to keep Cheng Muyun alive."
Master Yunxu raised his hand to his forehead. "Cheng Muyun's fate is already set. His death is of great use and is an important historical juncture that cannot be changed."
Xu Zhuohua rolled her eyes, then looked at Daoist Yunxu with a determined gaze, "The one who deserves to die is Young Marshal Cheng, but what about Cheng Muyun?"
Just like Liang Yuanfu, change your name, abandon your original identity, and continue living under a different name.
Master Yunxu did not deny it, but asked, "Do you really want Cheng Muyun to live?"
Xu Zhuohua nodded emphatically, “Of course! As you know, he is a good person and shouldn’t have to bear those infamy.”
Master Yunxu gently flicked his whisk and sighed, "There is indeed a way, but you will become very tired."
"What's the plan!" Xu Zhuohua's eyes lit up. She was extremely excited to learn that Cheng Muyun had a chance to escape.
“Take the Xu family jade pendant and go to Dongzhou. When the kapok flowers have all fallen, take over the entire eastern and southern route, then go to Beiping to assist Xiao Wuxin. Perhaps there will be a turning point.”
Jade pendant?
The jade pendant that Xu Shi Nong gave her?
Xu Zhuohua was completely confused. Master Yunxu wanted her to take over the southern route of the East and also wanted her to go to Beiping to assist Xiao Wuxin.
However, the first step of the plan, which was also the most difficult part, has been solved; Xu Shinong has already given her the jade pendant.
Is it really such a coincidence?
"Master, I have a question."
Master Yunxu nodded. "Ask away."
"Why did Xu Shinong give me the jade pendant? Was it your idea?"
Master Yunxu raised an eyebrow. “As I said, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Instead of you, Xu Shinong has arrived first.”
"So, did Xu Shinong know that I was a future member of the Xu family, and that's why you had him give me the jade pendant?"
"You're absolutely right." Master Yunxu flicked his whisk and looked at Xu Zhuohua with a smile, seemingly admiring her keen insight.
"Why?"
"This humble Taoist priest wishes to do something for you."
Xu Zhuohua felt a sudden pang in her heart. Perhaps Master Yunxu knew that she definitely wanted to save Cheng Muyun, so he had Xu Shinong give her the jade pendant.
Xu Zhuohua's legs, which had been kneeling for too long, felt like they were immersed in ice water. She tried to get up by supporting herself on the futon, but her kneecaps made a slight clicking sound.
My numb feet felt like I was walking on cotton, and a soft, tingling sensation spread from my toes throughout my body.
After stopping, he looked at Daoist Yunxu and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your explanation, Daoist."
