"It must be a legendary mythical beast."
"I just received news that the State of Chu is at war, and the prices of Chu specialties are bound to rise. I suggest everyone stock up on Chu specialties; you'll definitely make money then."
A girl dressed in colorful clothes carried a bundle on her back. She hung a wooden plaque on the wall, one side of which read "Colorful Clouds" and the other side depicted a green lantern. Many wooden plaques hung on the wall.
Although Xiaotao was reluctant to see Caixia leave, she still tried to smile and said, "Caixia, take care on your journey."
With tears in her eyes, Dou Dou said, "Caixia, thank you for teaching me to read and write. This will always be your home."
Caixia hugged Xiaotao and Doudou, her eyes clear and her smile bright. "Sister Xiaotao, Doudou, please take good care of yourselves. I will come back to see you in the future."
Ten years ago, Qin Luo took Caixia out of the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm on the condition that she work at Qinghe Tower for ten years. Now that the ten years are up, she has gained true freedom.
After leaving Qinghe Tower, Caixia headed towards Longhu Temple, partly to thank Qin Luo for giving her freedom, and partly to visit Xiaotuanzi.
......
Sunset Peak, Dragon and Tiger Temple.
Zhang Fulong's stomach was growling. He went to the main hall of the Taoist temple and frowned as he looked at the empty offering table. "Jin Yan, did you steal some of the offerings?"
Jin Yan sat at the table reading a book. He shook his head repeatedly, "Master, my junior sister saw that there were many refugees at the foot of the mountain, so she took the offerings and distributed them to the refugees."
"..."
"Raising an apprentice can lead to the master starving to death."
Zhang Fulong shook his head and sighed softly.
Ten years have passed. Zhang Fulong has many more wrinkles on his face, while Jin Yan has grown taller but hasn't changed much.
"Master!"
A crisp sound rang out.
A gentle breeze swept by, and Ziyue appeared in the hall. She had her hair tied in a high ponytail, was slender, and much taller than Jin Yan. Her Taoist robe was still loose. "Master, there are many refugees down the mountain. I told them that even if my master goes hungry, I will not let them go hungry."
Zhang Fulong was on the verge of tears. "You are truly my good disciple. I'm going into seclusion now."
Zi Yue reached out to stop Zhang Fulong, "Master, don't go yet. I heard that Chu is in trouble and Senior Sister Chu is in danger. She needs your help."
"Junior Sister is right!"
Jin Yan nodded.
Zhang Fulong did some quick calculations.
"A minor issue."
Zhang Fulong said calmly, "These are minor issues. Your senior sister will be fine."
Seeing Zhang Fulong tell Chu Shijie's fortune, Ziyue and Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Zhang Fulong was about to leave, Ziyue tugged at his Taoist robe, "Master, could you give me some silver notes? I want to settle the refugees."
"No."
Not a single penny.
Zhang Fulong wanted to leave, but Ziyue held him back, preventing him from moving. "Good disciple, your master really has no money."
Zi Yue shook Zhang Fulong's arm, "Master, the people at the foot of the mountain all say you are the old immortal master who saves people from suffering. Please be kind and I will earn money to support you in your old age."
Unable to resist Ziyue's persistent pleading, Zhang Fulong took out the few silver notes he had on him, saying, "Longhu Temple spends a lot of money on Jinghu Academy every year, and I really have no money left."
Upon receiving the silver notes, Ziyue said with a charming smile, "Master, I'll go to the city to buy some grain first."
Zhang Fulong watched Ziyue's retreating figure and said, "Remember to bring back some food for your master."
