Obtaining the secret to immortality by chance was a truly unexpected joy.
With the addition of the Sun-Changing Technique and the Immortal Seal Scroll that will soon be obtained from Cihang Jingzhai.
It is expected that Lin Bufan will soon learn three divine skills and break through to the Earth Realm. Just thinking about it is wonderful.
But now, it seems that danger is approaching, he senses it with his keen instincts.
"Let's bring the horses in and hide in the temple."
Lin Bufan gave the instructions and, together with Shi Qingxuan, went into the dilapidated temple.
Hou Xibai was confused. The Longevity Manual had been forcibly bought away for no reason, and he was already in a bad mood. Lin Bufan was even behaving like a jerk towards him, which made him really depressed.
"Is it windy outside? Why do we have to go into this dilapidated temple?"
"If you want to stay outside, then stay. Yuwen Huaji will be passing by soon with his men. They're after the Longevity Formula. You don't want the Longevity Formula to be taken away by Yuwen Huaji, do you, my amorous young master?"
Lin Bufan's words immediately enlightened Hou Xibai.
The Longevity Manual is in Lin Bufan's possession. If one befriends Lin Bufan, there might be a chance to observe the Longevity Manual for a few days.
In any case, Duoqing Manor and Yuwen Huaji were not on the same page and disliked each other.
You should know in your heart what is more important and what is less important.
Forget it, I can't go against Young Master Lin just because he stole Miss Qingxuan's heart. It's not worth it.
Hou Xibai, after some internal struggle, reluctantly admitted that Lin Bufan was right and walked into the dilapidated temple dejectedly.
Before going inside, he snatched the small money pouch from Kou Zhong's hand.
Kou Zhong opened his eyes wide. He thought he was already shameless enough, but he didn't expect that someone was even more shameless than him.
He immediately shouted, "No way! Money given away is like water spilled on the ground; there's no way to take it back!"
"That's right, give us back the Longevity Formula."
Xu Ziling wants the Longevity Formula back.
Kou Zhong, however, wanted to discard the Longevity Formula and get his money back.
Money and the Longevity Formula followed Lin Bufan and Hou Xibai into the dilapidated temple, so they had no choice but to go in as well.
Once inside, one of them asked Hou Xibai for money, and the other asked Lin Bufan for the Longevity Formula.
Hou Xibai didn't want to pay, so he told Kou Zhong to ask Lin Bufan for the money.
Having been a petty hoodlum for many years, Kou Zhong was adept at reading people and could tell that Lin Bufan was a real tightwad, never spending a penny and definitely didn't have any money on him.
Hou Xibai had a solid thirty taels of silver in his hand.
No, that stunningly beautiful girl just gave him another fifty taels of silver, so he has a total of eighty taels of silver in his hands. He's a real big shot.
Xu Ziling pestered Lin Bufan, who said to him, "The Amorous Young Master has already sold me the Longevity Manual, why are you bothering me? Go find him."
Hou Xibai retorted from the other side, "You stole the Longevity Formula, so they should be looking for you, no doubt about it."
"What do you mean 'it can't be wrong'? Where did the extra fifty taels of silver on you come from?"
"What, fifty taels?"
Hou Xibai looked down and realized that he had an extra fifty taels in his hand. Shi Qingxuan had forced it on him, and he hadn't even noticed it himself.
"Hahaha." Lin Bufan laughed loudly: "You took the money, so why should I play the villain?"
"This..." Hou Xibai was speechless.
Shi Qingxuan sighed repeatedly.
Two grown men, one her best friend, the other the man she entrusted her life to—oops, oops, the one she entrusted with important responsibilities—she didn't want to see them arguing.
So he took the fifty taels from Hou Xibai's hand and handed it to Kou Zhong, saying, "Take the money and you can go now."
Kou Zhong, his eyes lighting up at the sight of money, happily accepted the fifty taels and smiled at Shi Qingxuan, saying, "Thank you, young lady."
He went over and pulled Xu Ziling, saying, "Come on, come on, we've got the money."
Xu Ziling insisted, "We didn't get the Longevity Manual back."
Shi Qingxuan didn't want her friend to be harassed by thugs, so she took the initiative to mediate the conflict and explained the pros and cons to Shuanglong.
This indicates that even if the secret to immortality were placed on them, they would still be unable to escape the clutches of Yuwen Huaji and the Haisha Gang.
Xu Ziling was finally moved.
It wasn't Shi Qingxuan's words that moved me, but rather her melodious voice and stunning beauty.
He couldn't hear what Shi Qingxuan was saying; his attention was entirely on the sound, not the content.
Staring at Shi Qingxuan, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Your voice is so beautiful, whatever you say must be right."
Kou Zhong, standing to the side, covered his mouth in surprise and jumped exaggeratedly, "Young Master Ling, so you like this type?"
Xu Ziling immediately snapped out of his daze, blushing with embarrassment. He scratched his head and apologized to Shi Qingxuan, "I'm sorry, miss, I was rude."
Shi Qingxuan chuckled, not minding at all.
When she was invited to attend the birthday banquet of princes and nobles, many talented young men, like Xu Ziling, admired her and were infatuated with her.
When they get infatuated, their expressions can be even more exaggerated than Xu Ziling's right now.
"Cough cough." Lin Bufan pretended to cough to express his feelings.
Xu Ziling fell in love with Shi Qingxuan at first sight, which is not a good sign.
This guy is incredibly popular with women; he's practically another Yang Guo (a character from a Chinese folktale known for his charm and talent).
In the story of Twin Dragons, the girls he came into contact with included, but were not limited to, Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, Shi Qingxuan, Shang Xiuxun, and Shen Luoyan, all of whom were great beauties.
As for Kou Zhong, he only has Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi, and he's still wavering back and forth, unsure which one to choose.
Ahem, in short, now that Lin Bufan has come to the Jianghu of the Great Sui Dynasty, he wants the Sun-Changing Technique, he wants the Undying Seal Technique, and since he already has the Longevity Scripture, he naturally wants it too.
Lin Bufan wanted to get to know Shi Qingxuan, Shi Feixuan, and Wanwan—anyone Xu Ziling took a liking to.
"Young Master Lin, are you unhappy?"
Shi Qingxuan was observant. Hearing Lin Bufan cough, she realized he was doing it on purpose. Could it be that he was jealous?
Is it because Young Master Lin cares about me that he's jealous of a petty thug?
