Chapter 295 The Enlightenment of the Three Pure Ones
Bai Dong saw Bai Ming stand up and prepare to leave and whispered.
"Master, shall we leave now?"
Isn't it a bit too rushed?
"I seem to have heard that the Lady of Yongyi Marquis requested your medical attention today. Would it be inappropriate to leave now?"
Bai Ming paused for a moment.
"Lady Yongyi?"
If I remember correctly, there is only one Marquis Yongyi in the capital.
I think I heard that Lady Yongyi is not in the capital and has gone back to her parents' home with the heir of the Marquis's mansion to recuperate. I don't think the person who came today is Lady Yongyi.
It's ridiculous how the world is these days; even a concubine from a shady family dares to claim the title of mistress of the house.
Actually, I should have made a trip to the Marquis of Yongyi's residence. I heard that the Marquis's wife had come many times to seek medical treatment for the young master, but unfortunately, they left the capital by the time I returned.
But it doesn't matter, isn't Lady Hou's family in Yunlu City? We can just go and visit them later.
The old Marquis of Yongyi's mansion was a respectable man, and the Gu family... were all good, alas! It's just a pity..."
After Bai Ming finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out.
Not long after, a carriage emerged from the Bai residence and sped away from the capital...
One month later.
In an inconspicuous little mountain village outside Yunlu City, the Taoist priest Sanqing, who had gone out to sell his prey that day, hurriedly returned. He ran up to Old Fan, who was fishing by the river,
"Old Fan, Old Fan, I have to go out for a bit. You stay home and watch the house until I'm done."
Old Fan was intently watching the bobber float bobbing on the water's surface when the voice of the Taoist priest Sanqing suddenly rang out, startling the fish away.
Old Fan angrily threw down his fishing rod and glared at the Taoist priest Sanqing.
"You bastard Sanqing! I finally found a fish and you scared it away! You owe me a fish!"
Master Sanqing ignored the flailing Old Fan and instead handed him a storage talisman.
"There's food here. Stay home and take good care of the house. I'm leaving."
This time, Lao Fan finally understood what Daoist Sanqing was saying, and he immediately reached out and grabbed Daoist Sanqing.
"No, you're leaving? Where are you going?"
Master Sanqing glared at Lao Fan.
"So you didn't listen to what I was saying just now?"
I'll be leaving for a while; you can stay here and have fun.
Seeing that Lao Fan was still staring at him intently, Master Sanqing had no choice but to explain earnestly.
“I’ve been worried about Ningbao all this time. Even though I left her there and was sure that family would treat her well.”
But after all, he's the child I raised from infancy, so I can't help but worry about him. Lately, I keep having dreams that other people are bullying Ningbao.
So I wanted to go find her, but it would be too much trouble to find her in a place that's too far away.
Today I heard on the street that Yunlu City is accepting refugees.
Since it's hard to find in faraway places, I'll look in nearby places. Yunlu City is so close to us, it would be a shame not to look for it.
Whether we find it or not is something that happens after we've searched; my job is to search, the result isn't important...
Old Fan was stunned for a moment.
"So all this busy work is just for show?"
I thought you really had a change of heart and couldn't bear to part with Ningbao, but it turns out you're just a pretty face.
Oh!
Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You probably think that among all your apprentices, only this little girl is reliable.
So you're planning to support Ningbao for three years, but expect Ningbao to support you for thirty years?
You really are cunning and calculating; thirty years is enough time for you to pass away…
Master Sanqing snorted coldly.
"A teacher for a day is a father for life. Shouldn't a disciple take care of his master in his old age and see him off in his final days?"
Don't forget you're still an old burden!
Old Fan opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Okay! He really is a burden!
Anyway, he was all alone, so at least he had food to eat if he followed Sanqing.
but…………
"Sanqing, do you really need to go to such great lengths to find someone?"
"Didn't you always say you could just calculate it with your fingers?"
Master Sanqing paused for a moment.
"I……
Do you think I don't want to calculate it?
Not everyone has a birth chart as strong as my silly apprentice's, who can do eight hundred divinations a day without getting any backlash.
I've already used up all my divination numbers for this year, so for the sake of my old life, I'd better not do any more. Besides, it's more sincere to seek out someone in person.
This way, my little apprentice can see how much I love her.
"I'll go with you."
As he spoke, Lao Fan put away his fishing rod and placed it into the storage talisman that Daoist Sanqing had just given him. He immediately put the storage talisman close to his body as fast as possible.
