He Yunxiao carried a small bag when he left Tingfeng Tower.
The bag contained the latest Tingfeng Tower rankings. Indeed, many Yan Kingdom warriors were also generals listed on them. Since specific information hadn't arrived yet, he could only show the rankings to Ruobao for now.
Things are different now than when we were in Yinjing. The military camp is outside the city, and it takes half an hour to walk into the city to shop every day, which is extremely inconvenient.
Therefore, once He Yunxiao enters the city, he will buy what he needs in advance so as not to have to come back the next day.
Moreover, the new Chu army is currently in the training phase, so there's nothing to do even if they return to the camp. It's better to go out and stroll around with Chu Chu.
He Yunxiao is now extremely used to holding hands with Chu Chu. He holds Chu Chu's small hand in his palm, just like he used to hold his cell phone in his previous life, never letting go for a moment.
"Chuchu, would you like some candied hawthorn?"
He Yunxiao saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns and casually asked Chu Chu about it.
Knowing that Chu Chu didn't like it but Xiao Xiao did, He Yunxiao didn't wait for Chu Chu's reply and directly said to the vendor, "Give me three candied hawthorns."
He Yunxiao was talking to the vendor when he suddenly felt something was off about the little hand in his palm. Chuchu's little hand was quiet and allowed to be kneaded, while Xiaoxiao's little hand had a hint of shyness and acceptance.
Xiao Xiao?
Wait a minute, Chu Chu didn't let go first, so why did it suddenly become Xiao Xiao?
But the feel of this grip is clearly Xiaoxiao's...
He Yunxiao looked down and saw Xiaoxiao staring intently at the other side of the road. So he followed Xiaoxiao's gaze.
There was nothing particularly strange or unusual about it, except that a woman dressed in all white stood out from the crowd.
That woman must be a beauty. That was He Yunxiao's first thought upon seeing her, even though she was currently wearing a bamboo hat and a white veil covering her face.
It is now early January in the lunar calendar. Even though Qi is not as cold as Yan, the wind is still blowing hard, and frost has gathered on the branches, almost freezing them.
The woman in white, however, wore no heavy winter clothes; her white skirt, white clothes, and white hat made her look clean and otherworldly.
He Yunxiao's ability to immediately recognize her as a woman wasn't based on intuition or a system. Her face was obscured by the white veil hanging from her hat, making it impossible to see clearly and thus rendering the system ineffective. He Yunxiao judged her as a woman solely by a graceful curve of her figure.
This curve, starting from her chin and traversing mountains and valleys from top to bottom, is no small feat, naturally indicating that she is a woman. Moreover, she is a "genuine" woman.
"Why is that old woman here!" Xiao Xiao said through gritted teeth.
"Old woman"? He Yunxiao extracted the key information and then applied it to the woman in white.
To be fair, this woman looks vibrant and full of life, showing no signs of decline; she doesn't seem like an "old woman" at all. She's at most in her thirties. Is thirty considered old? In the state of Qi, yes; in modern times, it's a matter of opinion.
He Yunxiao: I'm really not Cao Cao, I'm just a womanizer.
Xiao Xiao tugged at He Yunxiao's hand and said, "Let's go, ignore her!"
Xiao Xiao doesn't seem to like this woman, He Yunxiao thought. A force pulled him forward, causing him to lean forward. "Slow down, slow down," he quickly reminded the briskly walking Xiao Xiao.
"Oh, young master, you haven't paid for the candied hawthorns yet!"
He Yunxiao turned around and tossed a coin to the vendor, only to find that the woman in white across the street had vanished.
Before he could ask any questions, when he turned around, the woman suddenly blocked his and Xiaoxiao's path.
"Let's go!" Xiao Xiao acted as if she hadn't seen the woman, and pulled He Yunxiao around her.
He Yunxiao was filled with doubt. He turned around to look at the woman, only to find that she had disappeared again. He turned back and she reappeared in front of him and Xiaoxiao.
He Yunxiao: ? ? ?
"Are you ever going to stop?!" Xiao Xiao couldn't take it anymore and yelled at the woman in white.
“It’s not ‘you,’ it’s ‘Grandmaster Uncle.’” The ethereal voice of the woman in white reached He Yunxiao’s ears through the thin veil covering her face.
He Yunxiao exclaimed, "Good heavens!" "Grandmaster Aunt"? Wouldn't that be the senior sister of Xiao Xiao's master's master? How old would she be? No wonder she's called an "old woman."
"You defeated bastard, don't even think about taking advantage of me! Get out of my way or I'll beat you to a pulp!" Xiao Xiao said angrily.
The woman in white, as if she had Xiaoxiao completely under her thumb, said lightly, "If you dare to make a move, I will tell Chu Fan about your martial arts skills."
"Speak freely, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Xiao Xiao showed no fear; Chu Fan had already lost control of her.
Seeing that this tactic was ineffective, the woman in white fell silent.
He Yunxiao, who was watching from the sidelines, roughly understood the current situation.
First, this woman in white is a Taoist priest. Second, she is from the same school as Chu Fan and Xiao Xiao, and of a very high seniority, being their "grand-aunt." Her age and appearance are unknown, but she has a pleasant voice and a good figure, as pleasing as a gourd.
Regardless of the circumstances, she was Chu Fan and Xiao Xiao's elder, so it wouldn't be appropriate to let Xiao Xiao actually fight her.
He Yunxiao pulled Xiaoxiao behind him, then bowed to the woman and said, "Greetings, Daoist Master. My name is He Yunxiao. May I ask your name?"
The ethereal voice of the woman in white came from behind, "I am Qingyuzi, a Daoist of the Taixu Sect."
He Yunxiao became even more respectful, "So you are a master from the Taixu Sect. I have long admired your sect for punishing evil and promoting good, upholding righteousness and acting on behalf of Heaven. It is truly an honor to meet you in person."
Qing Yuzi nodded, seemingly agreeing with what He Yunxiao said.
"You are destined to be with this path. This item is called the 'Qi-Boosting Pill,' which has the effect of restoring vital energy and prolonging life. I will give it to you today."
Qing Yuzi took out a small bottle with a flip of his hand, then used his internal force to drag it through the air and deliver it to He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao accepted the small bottle and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Daoist Master. My friend's younger sister, Xiaoxiao, was very rude just now. Please don't take it to heart."
Qing Yuzi glanced at Xiao Xiao behind He Yunxiao and said slowly, "It's alright. I won't stoop to her level."
"Old woman, say that again!" Xiao Xiao was furious.
"Xiaoxiao, stop fooling around." He Yunxiao immediately stopped her.
"Hmph." Xiao Xiao pouted, tugging at He Yunxiao's clothes with a wronged expression.
Qing Yuzi maintained an otherworldly demeanor throughout. At this moment, she asked again, "Young Master He, may I ask where my disciple, Chu Fan, is?"
Grand-disciple… No wonder Xiaoxiao wanted to hit her… If it were Chuchu, she would have already done it…
After a moment of distraction, He Yunxiao immediately said, "Chu Fan is in the New Chu Army camp not far away. May I ask what business you have with him?"
He Yunxiao was indeed afraid that this woman would call Chu Fan away. His brother-in-law's combat strength was considerable; he was a rare and formidable general. Even disregarding combat strength, the protagonist's luck would significantly boost the new Chu army.
Qing Yuzi seemed to see through He Yunxiao's thoughts. "This humble Taoist only wants to ask him a few questions. I would be grateful if Young He could do me a favor."
Having accepted Master Qing's pills, He Yunxiao naturally understood human relationships and social customs.
"Of course, of course, I'll take you to find Chu Fan right away."
