Tears in her eyes, panting softly. When she is quiet, she is like a beautiful flower reflecting on the water; when she moves, she is like a willow swaying in the wind. Her heart is more intelligent than Bi Gan, and her illness is three times worse than Xi Shi's.

From the moment he saw the woman, Mr. Cao's words appeared in Zhang San's mind.

However, even Mr. Cao himself had never thought that such a delicate and frail woman would not perform the "bowing" gesture when being questioned in front of others, but would instead perform the heroic "clasping fists" gesture.

Faced with such a contrast, Zhang San found it difficult to adapt for a while.

"Sir, I am Gu Xuanyan, the eldest daughter of the Gu family in Baoqing Prefecture. May I ask your name?"

Due to the weak qi and blood, Gu Xuanyan naturally lacks confidence when speaking, but fortunately, compared to the masculine and powerful voices of men, women's voices are mostly crisp when they are developing.

Therefore, with only a little effort, she can convey very clear content, and coupled with her graceful movements, how can she be so heroic! Unlike the gentleness and delicacy of Butterfly Kanae, Zhang San saw a different temperament in Gu Xuanyan. Should we say it is character? This word does not seem to match the woman.

"My name is Zhang San, with the courtesy name Si Rui. I am not a young master. My sister and I are both from Yuyang Village."

Different from the casual speech and conversation of later generations, due to the constraints of etiquette and law, the ancients were very restrained in some aspects, especially in some small matters, which reflected this point vividly.

Gu Xuanyan's self-introduction-style question was not a test, but when Zhang San avoided the "what's your name" trap and spoke well, her inner favorability towards him would unconsciously increase a little.

At least it can prove that Zhang San, um... Zhang Sirui is a cultured and knowledgeable person, right? Although knowledge and character may not be positively correlated, it is easier to chat with such a person who can follow the rules. At worst, both parties can still make a deal, right?

As for the "noble surname" pit, anyone who has been to school knows that since the Tang and Song dynasties, two and a half surnames have been subtly defined as noble surnames.

As for which two? The first is Kong, and his origin is naturally the great sage Confucius. In this fantasy world, this person has become a Confucian sage (the same status as the mortal immortal).

The second is Zhang. Regardless of whether the surname of the Emperor of Heaven is true or false, the immortal Zhang Daoling who has already passed away is worthy of this noble surname.

As for the last half surname, it is the surname of the royal family of the current dynasty. In the previous dynasty, it was the Golden Family Borjigin (Bao), and now it is Gao.

As the saying goes "Zhang in the South and Kong in the North", although Zhang Sirui had already introduced himself before, saying that he was from Yuyang Village, but being in this special place of Zhenjiang Prefecture, coupled with his blood and energy that was like beacon fire and wolf smoke, Gu Xuanyan could not help but think too much.

After learning Zhang Sirui's last name, Gu Xuanyan raised her arms forward, deliberately lowered her body, and asked again in a deep voice.

"I wonder if you are a descendant of the Zhengyi sect? Is Zhang your natural surname or a given one?"

Whether in the past or in this life, the Zhengyi Sect has always been the leader of Taoism. However, in the modern times when the extraordinary is not so prominent, the Zhengyi Sect only helps the Tourism Bureau to collect entrance fees and promote Taoist culture. (Friendly reminder, the ticket price for Longhu Mountain is 260 per person)

But if it is placed in this strangely revived fantasy world, then the devil is really one foot higher and the Taoist is invincible. There is Zhang Daoling in front and Zhang Yuchu behind to dominate the world.

Although the world was inevitably involved in the catastrophe of demons dancing wildly, who dared to go to Jiujiang Prefecture to make trouble? Even those great demons and evil fighters who had cultivated successfully could only talk nonsense under the influence of alcohol. If it were not for the restrictions of the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, which prohibited the masters of the Zhengyi Sect from leaving the Jiangxi Provincial Administration without an imperial decree, those jumping clowns would have been destroyed by the Zhengyi Sect long ago.

Don't say that the Zhengyi Sect is overbearing. Who told them to have the Red Dust Immortals protecting them? There are even more than one of them.

What’s even more coincidental is that the successor of the Zhengyi School just happens to be surnamed Zhang. Don’t you think this is a coincidence?

Besides, how could an elder who could take out Si Rui's courtesy name let his younger generation bear the name of Zhang San? Zhang San, although this name has a simple and powerful style, it is obviously a pseudonym. Combined with the special location of Zhenjiang Prefecture and the clues she found before.

Gu Xuanyan deduced that, being able to move Qi and blood to this level at such a young age, the man before her must be either a direct descendant of the Zhang family of the Tianshi Mansion, or at least a gifted disciple with the potential to become a high-level practitioner.

However, no matter which possibility it is, this is definitely a big deal. This girl is really smart!

Looking at the girl in front of him with a smile on her face, Zhang San didn't explain anything to her directly, but instead spoke.

"If I remember correctly, Baoqing Prefecture can barely be considered as the territory of Xiangxi!"

"The layman is indeed well-informed. From a geographical point of view, Baoqing Prefecture does belong to the western Hunan region and is only a few days away from Jiujiang Prefecture."

After hearing that Zhang San did not deny his inference but just changed the subject, Gu Xuanyan's guess was further confirmed, and she quietly changed "Mr." to "layman".

However, just when she was secretly happy, Zhang San's next words made her understand what "You are happy too early!" meant.

"Since you were born in Xiangxi, can you drive corpses?"

"You are joking, my ancestors just happened to have the surname Gu, not the corpse-raising Gu family."

"You won't learn quickly. Don't lose the things passed down by our ancestors!"

Zhang San, Gu Xuanyan, and the old housekeeper with no name, who among those present is not a fox who has practiced for thousands of years? If you still can't understand the double meaning of Zhang San's words, then you have really been in the martial arts world for so many years in vain.

After feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the old butler, regardless of his age, bowed deeply and spoke sincerely.

"Don't blame me, sir. We were being unreasonable."

That's right, when you're in the world, you're bound to encounter difficulties... Everyone has difficulties sometimes.

When we encounter problems, we should just solve them. Why bother talking so much? I think it’s because the Gu family hasn’t been in the circle of strangers for too long, and they unconsciously brought the mercenary exchanges between businessmen into the circle of strangers. No wonder Zhang San got angry with them.

"Then let's continue~"

As the night deepened, the moon rose higher. By the time the accompanying security guards had tidied up the accommodation, the yin energy outside the temple had reached an extremely dense state.

Originally, Zhang San no longer had much hope for them, but when Gu Xuanyan spoke again, he couldn't help but sigh about the benefits of family inheritance.

"The incense in the land temple is two short and one long!"
