Chapter 227 Fighting
When Mu Yao returned to the Grand Tutor's residence, the red sun had not yet set.
Zhao Yu anxiously stood at the gate and looked out from time to time. When he saw Li Dan, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
"Miss, you are back. How do I change the carriage..."
Before he could finish his words, a very handsome man in a light grey robe got off the carriage.
"Who is...?" Zhao Yu asked dazedly, as if he couldn't believe that there was such a handsome man in the world. He was dazzled for a moment.
Could it be the new son-in-law?
He thought to himself.
"Uncle Zhao, this is Master Shi. I had a wheel cracked on the road this morning. Thanks to Master Shi for sending me back."
Mu Yao was worried that the more she explained, the more the old man would think about it, so she simply explained the beginning and the end and skipped the middle.
Shi Jingchan glanced at Mu Yao, then bowed and greeted Zhao Yu.
car broke down?
After Zhao Yu returned the gift, he quickly took a closer look at Mu Yao. This morning's rain was heavy and it was pouring heavily!
"I'm fine, everything is fine, don't worry. By the way, has anyone asked about me today?" Mu Yao changed the subject. It didn't matter if her father knew the truth, but she was afraid that Wei Wushang and Xu Qingcheng would come to look for her.
Zhao Yu sighed, "What a coincidence today. The young master of Xu Shangshu's family is getting engaged to the daughter of Zhu Shangshu's family. After the master retired from the court, he went with them to the Xu Mansion for the banquet. Several of the sons-in-law haven't come yet, but Miss Handan and Miss Furong heard that you were back and came to look for you."
Handan and Furong now live in Shuiyunjian, and are becoming more and more adept at running the restaurant.
"Li Dan, let's go to Shuiyunjian." Mu Yao hadn't seen the two girls for a long time. It was time to go and see them. Maybe there would be news about Ji Qi.
"Miss, why don't you have dinner with Mr. Shi first before leaving?" Zhao Yu hated himself for being too talkative. Seeing that Mu Yao was tired after a whole day and hadn't even entered the mansion, she was in a hurry to go out now.
"Uncle Zhao, don't bother. Master Shi and I will go upstairs to eat in a while."
What a joke, how could she let an unmarried man have a meal at her home? This is just idle chat after a full meal - looking for trouble.
"Jingchan, how about I treat you to a meal at Shuiyunjian? That's the restaurant I opened, and the food is delicious." Mu Yao's smile was exceptionally gentle, and when it was reflected in Jingchan's eyes it was like a thousand-foot-long ray of light, like a gorgeous sunflower blooming in his heart.
This was the first time in twenty-five years that a girl invited him to a restaurant for dinner. Shi Jingchan smiled and nodded, and the speed of twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand also unconsciously increased a bit.
The two then got back on the carriage and headed towards Shuiyunjian.
When passing by a mansion, Mu Yao suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar carriage.
The black horse treads on the snow, the huge canopy, the frame of old nanmu wood with golden threads, and intricate wood carvings.
This is You Changqing’s carriage.
Shangjing is so big, and he also lives on Changdi Street?
Mu Yao lifted the curtain behind her. She remembered that the house was the residence of Lord Wu, the salt transport envoy.
"What's wrong?" Shi Jingchan looked at Mu Yao's shocked expression and asked in confusion.
"I seemed to see someone I knew, but I must have seen him wrongly."
Mu Yao's eyes flashed with You Changqing's figure. Today, in the sunlight, she could clearly see Erlang's particularly eye-catching hair color. There were dots of green light between the clouds and ink, like rippling blue waves, beautiful like a spirit from the mountains.
In the Muchan Garden, You Changqing took out a short red jade flute from his sleeve, put it to his lips and played.
A strange tune rose slowly, and Situ Zhuo's body in the Guiqi Garden responded immediately.
The parasitic creatures under the skin began to stir one by one, scaring Li Yan, who was standing by, into bursting into tears.
Situ Qi, Gongsun Li and Yu Heng rushed over upon hearing the noise and saw Situ Zhuo twisting his body and moving towards the gate.
"Mighty Yang Yang, the sun rises in the east, I command this talisman to sweep away all evil. Go!"
As Yu Heng uttered a series of incantations, eight yellow talismans flew out from his fingertips and surrounded Situ Zhuo.
"town!"
He formed seals with his hands, the air surged, and the fire of heaven and earth was ignited in the void, burning away all the dust in the world.
Situ Zhuo's body suddenly flew backwards and hit the door.
With a "puff", a large mouthful of insect blood was spat out.
The creature in the black blood had obviously grown larger.
Yu Heng's expression suddenly changed! It turned out that the truce in recent days was a delaying tactic by that person, in order to wait for the last moment of the adult insect.
Once all the larvae and eggs grow up, even the Golden Immortal will not be able to save Situ Zhuo.
Yu Heng arranged a separate courtyard for Situ Zhuo and set up formations around it.
He added a drop of his heart's blood into the array talisman. If the old man could break the array, he would have to take Situ Zhuo back to Qingnang Manor to avoid danger.
In the Muchan Garden, clusters of colorful flowers were withering and turning to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye. The tall fruit trees guarding the courtyard were turning yellow and their leaves were falling one after another. The tide of insects under You Changqing's feet was swirling and spreading, devouring all the life around.
"Six Ding and Six Jia protective formation." He lowered his eyes and sneered, underestimating this young magician.
The strange sound of the flute echoed in the air again. A chilly wind suddenly blew up, and the sky above the garden was covered with dark clouds, shrouded in a thick aura of death.
In the void, cracks in the protective formation spread rapidly.
Yu Heng's heart trembled, and dozens of yellow talismans flew out, reinforcing the formation from all directions.
Gongsun Li, Li Yan and Situ Qi looked at the circles of talismans floating in the air and fell into deep self-doubt.
A group of people gathered at the door of Lord Wu's old house with strange looks in their eyes. Li Changan's carriage passed by here and slowly stopped.
Someone recognized Master Li and hurried forward to greet him.
"Who lives in this house now?" Li Changan nodded slightly and asked the visitor.
"Teacher, this old house has been closed since the beginning of last year. I heard that someone bought it two days ago."
"Muchan Garden." Li Changan silently recited the name of the new house on the plaque in his heart.
The flaming clouds in the sky form a sharp contrast with the dark clouds above the park. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, no one will believe that there is such a wonder in the world.
"Knock, knock, knock." There were strong knocks on the door.
The wonders above the garden disappeared in an instant, and the colorful clouds in the sky seamlessly connected with the surroundings, and a perfect picture unfolded again.
"No one?" Li Changan stroked his white beard and stopped for a while, then got on the carriage and left.
You Changqing was forced to interrupt the fight and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
We have been exposed today and can no longer stay here.
He forced himself to stand up and walked to the door. The moment he opened the door, the Insect King struggled violently, blood surged in his chest, and he fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.
