The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 282: Taking a three-month leave?
A year has passed in the mortal world. Luo Fan resigned and was entrusted by Xia Yu to manage Li Jian's company and property. He also donated money to the Yue Lao Temple and helped the Taoist priests to renovate the Temple.

Faced with Xia Yu's sudden "disappearance", Luo Fan's family was very puzzled and urged Luo Fan to find another man to marry, but Luo Fan refused.

Whenever he felt tired, he would look up at the sky and smile at it so that Xia Yu could see him.

He is waiting for her and will always wait for her.

……

With Xia Yu's secret "matchmaking", Bai Chenxi met her destined person in her company.

Yue Lao also spent the whole night looking up ancient books and secret techniques, and also asked Taishang Laojun to find a solution. Finally, he found a way to save the marriages of the 90 destined couples.

After Yue Lao succeeded in his research, he immediately took "remedial" measures and rewrote their names in the marriage book.

Xia Yu followed Yue Lao around everywhere, and with the efforts of his fellow brothers, they finally saved all the "ruined" marriages within one day.

At the same time, Qu Si Ning & Shang Jingyu, Meng Xiaodong & Zhou Hai, Yan Lan & Yue Yang and other destined people also collided with "sparks of love" again.

【Marriage Palace】

Under the marriage tree, Xia Yu sat on a white cloud, watching everything Luo Fan did in the mortal world, and was deeply moved.

Suddenly, a few clouds floated over and blocked Xia Yu's sight, and Xia Yu quickly cast a spell to clear them away.

"Girl."

Yue Lao walked to Xia Yu's side, sat down, looked at her with tears in her eyes, and said softly: "You... admire that mortal so much? You even ignored the heavenly rule that 'the God of Marriage does not allow love'?"

"The God of Marriage does not allow love", yes, Senior Brother Nine is right, rules are dead, but people are alive.

Then as long as she is not the god of marriage, she can fall in love!

Xia Yu hurriedly withdrew the spell of "sneaking a peek at Luo Fan" and knelt down in front of Yue Lao.

"Yesterday in front of His Majesty and His Majesty, fortunately no one accused you of secretly falling in love with a mortal, otherwise your master would not be able to protect you. You came down to the mortal world to gain experience in order to become a marriage god in the future, how could you..."

Yue Lao sighed and looked at Xia Yu with an expression of "disappointment at not being able to make a good match": "Your second brother is confused, so you should be confused too..."

"Master, I know I am guilty, but I cannot help myself..." Xia Yu said as he kowtowed to Yue Lao.

"Get up quickly..." Yue Lao used both hands to support Xia Yu's arm, but she knelt and refused to get up.

"Master..." Xia Yu started crying and kowtowed repeatedly: "Disciple has a favor to ask, I hope Master will grant it."

"You say...you say." Yue Lao grabbed Xia Yu's arm again.

"This time when I returned to Heaven, I was determined to be demoted to the mortal world. By becoming a mortal, I could be with Luo Fan for a short time. I never thought that His Majesty and His Majesty would show me mercy and exempt me from punishment, asking me to atone for my sins, but I am not happy."

"Master, I... don't want to be the 'God of Marriage' anymore. I want to... be an ordinary mortal and live an ordinary life..." Xia Yu's voice became smaller and smaller.

Upon hearing this, Yue Lao was displeased: "You mean, you want to resign? You want to throw a lot of work to your master and tire your master to death, right?"

"Master, can... accept another disciple..." Xia Yu said in a low voice.

The matchmaker was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointing his finger at Xia Yu: "You...are you going to piss me off to death? Three of the 99 disciples are gone, and it's hard to say whether they can return to the marriage palace. You still expect me to accept more disciples, but you probably haven't heard those old guys scolding me, saying that I couldn't teach 99 disciples well, and I dare to accept more?"

"But I..."

"Do you want to betray your master?"

"Master..."

"Absolutely not."

Yue Lao was determined and would never give in no matter how Xia Yu begged and acted.

"Then...then I would like to take a leave for three months..." Xia Yu said with a pout.

Three months leave?
Doesn’t Yue Lao understand Xia Yu’s thoughts?
Take three months off and you can spend your life with that mortal.

"Have you forgotten that Queen Mother asked you to take over the work of those three senior brothers, and you asked for leave, who will take over?" Yue Lao asked.

"Then Master..." Xia Yu wanted to say something but didn't dare.

This is like in the mortal world, when an employee asks his boss: Why don’t you go and do it? “Cough cough… cough cough…” The matchmaker starts to cough, looking like he has been “ill for a long time”.

"I'll go...I can go!" Xia Yu had no choice but to agree, but still replied: "It's just that I hope I can have three months in the mortal world. Master, please allow me to stop being 'Xia Yu' and just be a mortal for these three months. I will fall in love without affecting my work, and spend my life with Luo Fan."

Yue Lao became anxious: "The God of Marriage does not allow love, you..."

"So please allow me, Master, that during those three months, I am not 'Xia Yu', not the God of Marriage, but just an ordinary mortal." Xia Yu replied.

"If you were reborn as a mortal, how would you work?" asked Yue Lao.

"So I hope Master will allow Xia Yu to take three months off. During those three months, I can be anyone, complete my work quietly, and be an ordinary mortal."

"If Your Majesty and Your Majesty knew about this, they would definitely..."

"Master, I am taking over the work of my three senior brothers, so I have to go to the mortal world more often. I just need a legitimate reason. I don't want you to be scolded because of me. Please agree to it!"

Xia Yu grabbed Yue Lao's arm and swayed back and forth, constantly "begging for mercy".

Yue Lao remembered Li Jian's "previous experience" and his face was moved. He asked Xia Yu: "You...if you don't want to be Xia Yu, then what do you want to be called in the mortal world?"

Xia Yu was extremely surprised and continued to kowtow: "Master, please...give me a name."

Yue Lao stroked his beard, looked at Xia Yu again, and said after a while: "Your original body is a gardenia, pure white, how about calling it Bai Zhi?"

Gardenia white?

Xia Yu was stunned, and suddenly looked up at Yue Lao, still a little stunned: "Master... this name..."

Yue Lao looked at Xia Yu's stunned expression, and suddenly raised his hand and took out his marriage book. He cast a spell and turned to Luo Fan's page. He rewrote the words "Bai Zhi" behind his name.

"He built a temple for me in the mortal world, replaced the statues, and prayed for me many times..." Yue Lao touched Xia Yu's hair and said softly, "You are my beloved disciple. I can't persuade you, so I have to fulfill your wish this time."

"Master..." Xia Yu was extremely confused. He pointed at the marriage book in Yue Lao's hand and asked hurriedly, "This... this marriage book says 'Bai Zhi'. I have peeked at it once before. This Bai Zhi... I... you..."

Senior Brother Ninety-Eight went to check and said that the woman was not the real Bai Zhi.

Now that the master has given her the name "Bai Zhi", doesn't that mean... doesn't that mean that she is Luo Fan's destined person?
No wonder...

No wonder so many destined marriages were ruined. Luo Fan should have broken up with Bai Zhi, but what Luo Fan forgot was... her!

She always thought that she had snatched Bai Zhi's marriage, but she didn't expect that she was Bai Zhi...

But how could it be? How could she be Bai Zhi? How could the master have set her up with Luo Fan so long ago?

It's impossible that the master could predict the future and knew what would happen?

Xia Yu was puzzled and could only look at Yue Lao, hoping to hear his explanation.

Yue Lao didn't want to explain. He pretended he didn't hear anything. He produced a red thread of marriage in his hand and came to the marriage tree.

"Master..." Xia Yu ran over.

Yue Lao cast a little magic and the name "Bai Zhi" reappeared on the marriage tree.

Xia Yu nervously watched Yue Lao tie the red strings for "Luo Fan" and "Bai Zhi" with his own hands, tightly connecting the two together.

"Go! For the next three months, you will be Bai Zhi, not my beloved disciple Xia Yu." Yue Lao said reluctantly, and cast a spell to produce a real "pass token" and handed it to Xia Yu: "Be careful in the mortal world, and don't abuse the fairy magic and the red thread again."

"Thank you, Master..." Xia Yu kowtowed to Yue Lao happily again, took the "token" with both hands, and then turned and left.

After Xia Yu left, Yue Lao looked at the mortal world quietly, thinking about something.

There are some things that man really cannot overcome nature.

Girl, your original name is "Bai Zhi". You may not know that "Xia Yu"... is the name your teacher gave you.

Yue Lao was filled with worries. Although everything had been arranged for Xia Yu, he couldn't help but think of his three disappointing disciples.

It was fine that the seventh and eleventh brothers were demoted to mortals, but the second brother was demoted to a "beast"...

Although Yue Lao was angry, he was still worried, so he secretly took a few jars of good wine to find the Southern Dipper Star God, hoping to find a "back door" for his three disciples and arrange a better fate for their reincarnation.
