Shangguan Xi couldn't stay idle, so the next day she climbed the wall using a dilapidated ladder, while the maids trembled with fear.
If they don't let her go out, she'll sneak out.
After jumping down from the wall, the girl's legs went weak for a moment, so she simply squatted down on the ground to recover.
When she got up, her old clothes were dirty, but she didn't care and just patted them off. She carefully put all the money she had saved into her pocket.
I'm going out today to look for ways to make money.
The Prime Minister's residence would never give her travel expenses to go to the cultivation world; she would have to earn them herself.
Only after the land where high-ranking officials and nobles reside can ordinary people come and go.
She was wearing old clothes, yet she didn't look out of place in them.
After wandering around the market for a while without finding a way to make money, I felt sorry for the gray-haired beggar and instinctively wanted to help him, but I had no spare money.
Shangguan Xi bought a steamed bun and squatted down to hand it to the old beggar.
"Thank you, thank you." The old man's hair was completely white, and he almost wolfed down the white steamed buns.
"You're so old, yet your clothes aren't tattered. Are you unable to find your way home?"
Shangguan Xi observed his clothing and found that it was not like that of an ordinary beggar, dressed in rags.
The old man was wearing linen clothes and hadn't taken care of himself in a long time; he looked dusty and disheveled.
The old man's hands trembled slightly as he choked up, and he slowed down his eating of the steamed bun.
A neighbor who happened to be passing by saw this and came over with a sigh.
"His surname is Chen, and he lives in the family at the east end of the street. But his son goes to the gambling den all day and doesn't support him. When Old Man Chen could still work, things were fine, but now that he can't work, his son kicked him out."
While Shangguan Xi was listening to the aunt, a master and apprentice also stopped to listen.
"His son is a complete scoundrel," the reserved young master said indignantly.
Shangguan Xi turned around upon hearing the sound and saw two cultivators dressed in magic robes.
"I have met the two immortals."
She gave a slight bow, but the surrounding people all bowed deeply in reverence.
The master and apprentice stood side by side, saying, "No need for formalities."
This time, it was the middle-aged man beside the reserved young master who spoke, and his demeanor was quite unrestrained.
"Master, can I help him?" the young master asked his master.
His master looked at him with a smile, "How do you plan to help?"
“To avenge this old man, beat up his son and make him take his father back to support him.”
Shangguan Xi listened from the side, her lips twitching, but she couldn't disrespectfully interrupt the immortal's words, so she thought about how to leave quietly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what his disciple said, the elderly immortal sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
"Young lady, tell me if this is feasible."
When Shangguan Xi was called to a stop, she turned around in confusion and pointed to herself, "Me?"
“My name is Xiahou Zhiwei. If you think I have done something wrong, please point it out to me. Otherwise, my master will scold me again.”
After following his master for five or six years, Xiahou Zhiwei's personality changed somewhat. He remained reserved, but he was no longer timid enough to stammer and be unable to speak.
Nie Wangya watched with a smile, without saying a word.
This kid is learning formations from him, but he can't just teach him nothing else besides formations.
“Immortal Xiahou, I believe that if you do this, the old man’s son will be afraid of submitting to your status and will compromise for the time being.”
But you can't keep an eye on him forever.
Shangguan Xi spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone softening.
For a fleeting moment, Xiahou Zhiwei and his apprentice were somewhat dazed.
This posture... strangely reminds one of the Sleeping Goddess.
However, the master and apprentice subconsciously dismissed the thought.
The goddess of sleep is busy traveling around and has no time to pretend to be an ordinary person.
Xiahou Zhiwei then asked her for advice on how to resolve this matter.
Shangguan Xi smiled slightly. "The immortal is here. Let him cast a curse on that scoundrel son, or make him swear an oath to heaven and earth that if he does not support his father, he will be struck by lightning and die."
The immortal's status among the people is self-evident, and the old man's son is no good either. It would be better if he died for breaking his vow.
The girl looked pretty and harmless, and her big eyes would curve into crescent moons when she looked at people.
However, her personality is quite different from her cute appearance.
Nie Wangya laughed and slapped the brat. "You should learn from him. Any random girl in the human realm would be more thoughtful than you."
His apprentice is just too kind-hearted and too naive.
However, if it weren't for this, they wouldn't have known each other in the first place, let alone met the two goddesses of destiny.
Xiahou Zhiwei was not angry. They took Shangguan Xi with them and took the old man back as she had instructed. Although the old man's son was unwilling, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and vow to treat his father well from now on.
After the matter was settled, Xiahou Zhiwei said he wanted to treat Shangguan Xi to dinner.
Shangguan Xi wanted to refuse, but then she remembered her own plans.
She had to find out where she could find the Sleeping Goddess.
Hearing news from the human world is not as accurate as asking a true immortal.
The three sat in the restaurant. Although Shangguan Xi was wearing old clothes, her demeanor was elegant and her speech was unhurried.
Nie Wangya raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Are you from a noble family?"
Shangguan Xi put down her teacup and smiled gently, "I am the seventh young lady of the Prime Minister's residence, and my name is Shangguan Xi."
Just as she finished her introduction, her maid hurried into the restaurant, looked around, and her eyes lit up when she saw Shangguan Xi. She rushed over.
"Miss, something terrible has happened! Master has discovered you're not in the manor and is furious, sending people everywhere to look for you!"
Shangguan Xi frowned subconsciously.
It's been a year, and her father hasn't contacted her even once. Has the sun risen in the west today?
