When Luo Jianqing and his group from Dinghai Sect came together, he originally just wanted to teach a lesson to the cultivators who bullied mortals, but he didn't expect this would be the outcome.
Xuan Lingzi sent a letter to Mount Taihua, requesting Venerable Hao Xingzi to conduct a thorough investigation of the area surrounding Mount Taihua, keeping an eye out for the presence of demonic beasts. He outlined the Dinghai Sect incident and allowed Venerable Hao Xingzi to decide how to coordinate with other sects to investigate the demonic beasts hidden within the Thirty-Six States.
On the second day, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi took a short rest to pack their luggage and then set off.
When checking out, the shopkeeper said with a smile, "Two great monks, are you really not going to stay in this town for a while? There's less than a month left before the Dinghai Sect's masters come to collect taxes. Perhaps you could meet them."
Hearing this, Luo Jianqing said calmly, "You won't have to pay taxes from now on."
The shopkeeper was stunned: "What?"
Luo Jianqing forced a smile: "Dinghai Sect has temporarily moved out of here."
After confirming the news again and again, the shopkeeper cheered with joy. He was clearly in his fifties, yet he was so happy. He even told the other people in the town the good news. They were a little skeptical on the surface, but after seeing the sage-like appearances of Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi, they were convinced.
The shopkeeper's wife held his hand, wiping away tears as she said, "How wonderful this is! How wonderful this is! Old man, we finally don't have to work so hard every year to pay taxes. Our Abao and Ayu can also come back and no longer have to toil in that distant city."
Upon hearing this, a customer nearby laughed and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, your daughter must be eighteen this year, right? She's in her prime! I heard your door was trampled down a year ago, but your daughter and her brother went to the city to make money. Now that she's back, she'll definitely be able to find a good husband."
Shopkeeper Liu burst into tears, but he kept smiling: "Good, good! Everyone is fine! Although the Dinghai faction has been collecting money from us, at least we have been able to get by peacefully over the years. Now it's fine, it's really fine now!"
Luo Jianqing stared at the scene in amazement for a long time, then turned to look at Xuan Lingzi.
Xuan Lingzi also lowered his eyes and looked at him.
Amidst everyone's cheers, the two quietly left.
Outside the inn, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the breeze blew, making the leaves sway.
By the time the town realized Luo Jianqing and the others had left, half an hour had passed. The innkeeper and his elderly wife wiped their tears as they returned to their inn. As soon as they looked up, they saw two porcelain jars on the table.
One of them was empty, and the other had a word stuck on it on a piece of paper: Jade.
After a long time, the crying became so heartbreaking and the grief was so unbearable that it moved the heaven and earth.
As for half a year later, two beautiful girls came to this town and heard about this. They volunteered to support the shopkeeper and his wife and be their assistants.
