Chapter 44 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land



Linglong was overjoyed. She held up her little finger and said crisply, "Sir, let's pinky swear!"

"OK."

Qin Luo extended his little finger.

He suddenly found the dragon girl quite cute.

"Sir, I'll be waiting for you at Mirror Lake."

Linglong waved to him.

"good!"

Qinluo is gradually fading into the distance.

Linglong wanted to wait for Qin Luo to turn around and look at her one last time, but she watched him disappear into the forest. "Ugh, so annoying!"

The sun sets in the west.

Qin Luo arrived in Yongfeng Town.

This town is much larger than Baiyun Town, with three main streets. When Qin Luo passes through villages and towns, he slows down and pays attention to every passerby. Suddenly, he sees a familiar figure across the street.

The man in the blue robe opposite him also saw Qin Luo and exclaimed excitedly, "Junior Brother!"

Qin Luo cupped his hands in greeting, "Senior Brother Lin."

Qin Luo was delighted to run into an old friend.

Lin Xuan walked up to Qin Luo and gave him a big hug. "What, even you ran away?"

Qin Luo smiled and shook his head, "No, I was on my way to Yanbei City to take care of some business, and I just happened to be passing through here."

"Yanbei City is quite far, and it's getting late. Why don't you come to my house to rest first?" Lin Xuan said warmly.

When Qin Luo first entered Longhu Temple, Lin Xuan took good care of him and even taught him to read when he had free time.

One morning, Lin Xuan went down the mountain to fetch water and never returned. Everyone thought he had encountered danger and searched for him everywhere. Later, Qin Luo found a letter he left in his room and learned that he had run away with the bucket.

"Senior Brother Lin, I have some business to attend to in Yanbei City. I'll come to see you again when I return."

"At least we can have a meal together."

"OK."

It was hard to refuse such hospitality.

Qin Luo followed Lin Xuan home.

"How is Senior Brother Lin doing these days?"

"When I was young, my family was poor, and I didn't strive for anything. I wanted to cultivate immortality to escape life, but I couldn't endure the hardships of cultivation. After returning home, I got married and had children. To support my family, I have to work hard every day and have no leisure time." Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Junior brother, what do you think of Dragon Tiger Temple?"

Qin Luo chuckled and said, "Longhu Temple is still the same as before. More people are coming to offer incense and pray for blessings. The senior brothers and sisters from before have all gone down the mountain, and now there are new junior sisters and brothers."

"How's your skill training going?"

"Fortunately, I've learned a little bit of what Master has learned."

"That's good. I won't have to worry about finding a job after leaving Longhu Temple. I learned some medical skills from my master, and now people from all around come to me for treatment. I can barely make a living." Lin Xuan said he was tired, but his face showed happiness.

This is my home.

Lin Xuan's home is on the edge of town.

The wooden house was simple, but at least it could provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Qin Luo followed Lin Xuan into the house. The boy, wearing open-crotch pants, sat on the floor playing with a rattle drum. "Daddy."

Lin Xuan picked up his son, his face beaming with joy. "Jun'er, this is your Uncle Qin. Quickly call him Uncle."

"uncle."

Lin Jun whispered.

Qin Luo pinched his chubby little face, then took out a peach charm from his pocket. "This is a gift for you."

"Thanks."

Lin Jun caught the peach charm and played with it.

"Junior brother, did you draw this talisman?"

"Yes."

"It's really well drawn."

Lin Xuan realized that the peach charm was not simple.

A simply dressed young woman came out of the house, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Husband, who is this?"

"My junior brother, Qin Luo."

“This is my wife, Yao Shuang.”

Qin Luo bowed and greeted, "Greetings, sister-in-law."

"Please have a seat."

Yao Shuang said warmly.

The couple were warm and hospitable.

Qin Luo felt like he was home.

Before long, Yao Shuang prepared a sumptuous meal. Lin Xuan and Qin Luo drank wine and chatted about the interesting things that happened at Longhu Temple. They couldn't stop laughing.

After finishing his meal, Qin Luo prepared to leave. "Thank you for your hospitality, Senior Brother Lin. I'll come back to see you again sometime."

Lin Xuan wanted to ask him to stay the night, but knowing that Qin Luo had other things to do, he didn't want to put him in a difficult position. "Junior Brother Qin, if you ever have nowhere to go in the future, you can come and find me."

"Um."

Qin Luo cupped his hands in a fist salute.

Lin Xuan watched Qin Luo's retreating figure.

Yao Shuang said with some worry, "Husband, it's so late. There are wild beasts in the mountains. It's very dangerous."

Lin Xuan shook his head and chuckled, "Junior Brother Qin has an air of otherworldly grace; he must have achieved considerable success in his cultivation. You don't need to worry."

When Qin Luo's figure disappeared.

The couple returned to their room.
