The next day.

Narrow rainy alley.

"Old Xu, should we really go to ask Brother Qin for that spiritual stone?"

"There is no other way. We have to follow the orders of the abbot."

"I hope that Fellow Daoist Qin can understand our difficulties."

"Well, let's go."

Wang Ping and Xu Li walked into the narrow rain alley and after asking for a few times, they finally found the big house at the end of the alley. Looking at the door with a protective magic circle painted on it, which required a talisman key to open, they were both a little surprised.

Fellow Daoist Qin has really become rich!

I think it shouldn't be too difficult to ask him for this spirit stone, right?

This morning, the two went to Lingdanfang to report on time, but were called away by the owner. Pei Daoyu said that when Qin Gengyun left, the shop gave him an extra spiritual stone, so he ordered the two to go find Qin Gengyun to ask for it back.

Wang Ping and Xu Li were both a little confused. Qin Gengyun had been gone for such a long time, so why should they ask him to return his salary at this time?

But this was the order from the abbot, and the two had no choice but to look at each other and nervously raise their hands to knock on the door.

After a moment, the door opened, revealing a familiar face. Wang Ping exclaimed:

"The flower girl of your dreams?"

Xu Li looked her up and down, and confirmed that the woman who opened the door was the Yihonglou's courtesan, and his eyes widened immediately:

"Fairy Ruyi, why are you here?"

Liu Su didn't recognize the two people, and frowned, "Where did this scoundrel come from? How could he find his way here?"

Qin Gengyun came over upon hearing the voice, and seeing Wang Ping and Xu Li, he smiled and said:

"Friend Wang, Friend Xu, why are you here? Su Su, please invite someone in!"

Liusu pouted and stepped aside. Wang Ping and Xu Li bowed to her again and again: "Thank you, Fairy Ruyi!"

Liusu glared at the two of them: "I have not been in Yihonglou for a long time, don't call me Ruyi anymore!"

"Yes, yes." The two agreed repeatedly, rushed into the house, looked around, and couldn't help but say enviously:

"Senior Qin, when did you move into such a spacious and luxurious house? It's really enviable!"

Before Qin Gengyun could say anything, Qiu Zhihe came out of the kitchen. She was wearing a flowered gauze gown with an apron on the outside. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, and her round face was slightly red from the steam in the kitchen.

She was gentle, virtuous, beautiful and charming, which left Wang Ping and Xu Li stunned.

Such a beautiful and virtuous wife is really the envy of single guys!

"Madam, this is Wang Ping, and this is Xu Li. They are my former colleagues at the Spiritual Pill Shop. You met them last time at Uncle Fang's house."

Qin Gengyun introduced the two people to Qiu Zhihe. Qiu Zhihe nodded at them as a greeting and then walked into the kitchen.

Wang Ping and Xu Li looked at her graceful back with dull eyes.

"Friend Wang, Friend Xu, please take a seat."

Qin Gengyun spoke, and the two men came back to their senses. "Thank you, Senior Qin." Then they sat down.

At this time Liusu also brought over two cups of tea. Recently, Qin Gengyun's house often had guests, and she was also called out. Whenever guests came, she would consciously go to make tea.

"Thank you, Ru...thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Wang Ping and Xu Li quickly stood up and took it, and were even more surprised.

Not to mention that Qin Gengyun's wife is so beautiful, even Fairy Ruyi has become his woman.

And judging from Fairy Ruyi's appearance, her status in Qin Gengyun's family should not be high, and she is most likely a concubine.

I remembered that Old Man Fang had said last time that Qin Gengyun not only had a beautiful wife at home, but also an equally pretty concubine.

But I didn't expect that this concubine was actually the famous courtesan Ruyi!

Is it because Fairy Ruyi was once a brothel girl that she can only be a concubine?

The two of them were guessing in their minds, and Qin Gengyun had already asked, "Friend Wang, Friend Xu, I wonder why you came to my humble abode today?"

Wang Ping and Xu Li looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed. In the end, Wang Ping explained his purpose and then said awkwardly:

"Senior Qin, we are also following the orders of the master. There is really no other way. Please don't blame us."

Unexpectedly, Qin Gengyun was not angry, but laughed. He took out a spiritual stone and handed it to them:

"How could I blame you? When I left the Spiritual Pill Shop, it was Yang Fengshan who paid me. I guess his accounts were messed up, so he gave me an extra spiritual stone. It's only right that I return it today."

The two looked at each other, both a little confused. They didn't ask too many questions at the moment. They took the spirit stones and thanked him repeatedly.

At this time, Qiu Zhihe walked out of the kitchen and asked Qin Gengyun, "Are they staying for dinner?"

The two of them quickly stood up: "You're welcome, sister-in-law, we have something else to do, so we'll leave now."

Qin Gengyun tried to persuade them to stay, but the two of them refused and ran away from the Qin family.

Walking out of the narrow rain alley, the two of them kept their heads down in silence. Wang Ping suddenly said:

"Friend Xu, I want to practice well."

Xu Li nodded: "I also want to practice hard, like Fellow Daoist Qin, become a great cultivator, marry a beautiful wife and concubines, wouldn't that be great!"

"Well, let's work together!"

"Okay, keep going!"

Narrow Rain Alley, Qin Family.

"Miss, uncle, what does Pei Daoyu mean? He actually sent someone to collect the debt!"

Liusu said angrily, but she saw Qiu Zhihe was calm and Qin Gengyun was smiling. She suddenly became anxious:

"You two, talk!"

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Pei Daoyu is making his attitude clear. He will keep Chang Chunzi's matter secret for me."

Liusu blinked, still looking confused.

Qin Gengyun couldn't help laughing when he saw her silly and cute look. Liusu glared at him angrily and complained to Qiu Zhihe:

"Miss, my uncle has been laughing at me!"

Qiu Zhihe then spoke: "If the Chang family investigates Chang Chunzi's whereabouts, they will definitely find Pei Daoyu. The more indifferent he is to your husband, the less suspicious your husband will be."

Liu Su was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh and said, "I understand. Pei Daoyu deliberately found someone to make things difficult for the son-in-law, just to let others know that he and the son-in-law are just employer and pharmacist, so that the Chang family will not suspect the son-in-law!"

"Fuck! This guy is so troublesome!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly froze and looked at Qiu Zhihe blankly.

"Miss, what did you call uncle just now?"

Qiu Zhihe was stunned, but saw Qin Gengyun looking at her with surprise. Then she realized that she had subconsciously called out that shameful name.

Her heart trembled, she lowered her eyes, stood up and walked into the kitchen without saying anything else.

Liusu said to Qin Gengyun excitedly: "Uncle, uncle, did the young lady call you 'husband' just now? She has never called you that before!"

Qin Gengyun was also very excited and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is the first time my wife calls me husband, good, great!"

Liusu laughed and said, "Son-in-law, do you feel very accomplished? Come on tonight and make the young lady shout more!"

"Susu, come in and help!"

"Oh, here it comes...Miss, why is your face so red? Ouch! Miss, why did you hit me? Ah! Miss, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!"
