She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 42 A wonderful misunderstanding

If Xie Lian could hear the lame Taoist's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely hear something like this.

"If I am guilty, please punish me instead of torturing me in this way!"

Yes, this is what the lame Taoist thinks.

He wishfully thought that after his acts of snooping and eavesdropping were discovered, Xie Lian would definitely not let him off easily.

For example, right now, Xie Lian was actually going to make tea for him...

What is Xie Lian’s identity, and what is his identity?
At least someone of True Immortal level personally made tea for him. How shameless must he be to accept it so calmly?

If Xie Lian had a cold face and spoke more seriously, he would feel at ease.

But along the way, Xie Lian acted hospitable and friendly, which made him feel confused and distressed.

So he stopped pretending, he couldn't hold it in any longer, you can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!

Teasing?

Punishment?

What are all these?

Xie Lian was confused by the lame Taoist priest and asked with a frown.

"What exactly does the Taoist priest want to say?"

The lame Taoist was completely determined and said it directly.

"I am ignorant of the depths of heaven and earth, and I attempted to spy on you, Senior. I am guilty of this. If you have any punishment, I am willing to accept it. I only ask you not to make fun of me anymore... To be honest, I would rather lose a few decades of my cultivation than suffer like this, feeling as if a sharp blade is hanging over my head, and I don't know when it will fall..."

At the end of his speech, the lame Taoist smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Xie Lian finally understood why the lame Taoist had been so cautious all along the way, and he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"No wonder the Taoist priest was so quiet along the way. I didn't expect that he had this matter in his mind."

Xie Lian shook his head and said.

"Although what the Taoist priest said is a little inappropriate, I, Xie, will not get too angry about it."

"When I spoke, I was in public, so it couldn't be considered private... Besides, what I said and did before was all right. Even if someone heard it, what would happen?"

"Isn't that what the Taoist priest thinks?"

The lame Taoist was startled, but spoke without thinking.

"Senior, what you said is absolutely right. There is nothing wrong with your words and actions, especially your 'discussion of demons and fairies'. It not only enlightened a group of little demons, but also made me admire you greatly..."

These words are quite sincere.

The lame Taoist admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Who says that demons can’t become immortals?

An immortal is by no means an empty shell that has power but no state of mind, and only knows how to show off its martial arts through fighting and killing. A true immortal, in addition to his own Taoism, must also have an immortal heart... When the state of mind is perfect, one can become an immortal!

So are humans and monsters!

Just based on these words, Xie Lian could become the master of all the demons in the world. She almost pointed out a path that had never been taken before.

"In that case, why should I be angry?"

Xie Lian smiled and said.

"There is nothing that cannot be said to others. Xie thinks that everything he has done is aboveboard and he is not afraid of others seeing it, let alone hearing it."

"Sometimes, Xie even hopes that more people can hear what he says."

"Haha, for example, Taoist priest, after hearing these words, didn't you feel recognized? In this way, Xie has gained a soulmate, and I am so happy that I can't wait to tease you, Taoist priest?"

These words left the lame Taoist stunned.

He didn't expect that Xie Lian could actually say such a thing.

Free and easy, real and sincere.

Seeing Xie Lian’s sincere smile, the lame Taoist felt relieved, but at the same time, he was overwhelmed with shame. He covered his burning face with his sleeves and said.

"Senior, you are so kind and gracious that I feel ashamed. It seems that I have been a villain in vain and actually misunderstood you..."

He just felt embarrassed and wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Xie Lian found this very funny and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It seems that the Taoist priest has also realized his mistake. Since he knows he is wrong, he must of course apologize." The lame Taoist priest said without hesitation.

"How do I apologize? Please tell me clearly, senior."

Xie Lian clapped his hands and laughed.

"Just three glasses of wine!"

After saying that, he pointed at the old locust tree.

"Why don't you show me some courtesy? Why don't you bring out the good wine I hid?"

The leaves of the old locust tree began to rustle.

After a moment, he took out two gourds and placed them in front of Xie Lian with branches.

This is monkey wine brewed by golden monkeys.

Previously, the little white fox had brought him a gourd. After Xie Lian tasted it, he thought it tasted good and praised it a few times.

The little white fox heard this and brought a gourd of monkey wine every day when he came.

Xie Lian simply let the old locust tree serve as a wine cellar and kept it for the time being.

Now that the distinguished guests have come, of course I will not hesitate to give them out.

"Master, please take a look. This is the monkey wine of the demon monkeys of Qingping Mountain. It is made from hundreds of fruits and old wine. It takes seven years to make... Although it is not a precious spiritual wine, it has a unique flavor. I wonder if it will be worthy of Master's liking?"

Xie Lian opened the seal, and a light fruity fragrance wafted out, making people fall in love with it.

Even the girl who didn't drink alcohol had her eyes light up when she smelled the tempting fruity aroma.

"Haha, senior, you are too polite. I've long been tired of drinking the Baicao wine from Danxia Mountain. I'll try your wine today. I'm sure it won't disappoint me!"

The lame Taoist hesitated for a moment, then decided to let go completely. Xie Lian was so sincere that he couldn't help but let down his guard. Such a senior had done this? If he didn't know what was going on, then he must have a problem with his brain, and people with problems in their brains obviously couldn't become real people.

The lame Taoist had originally been a free and easy-going person, and now that he was no longer suppressing himself, the urge for alcohol in his throat was aroused. He picked up a wine jug wildly, put it directly into his mouth, took a big sip with great spirit, and then praised.

"Although it is fruit wine, it is not lacking in alcohol. Good wine, good wine, you should drink it!"

This is right!

Xie Lian had already noticed the wine gourd on the lame Taoist's waist. This man was indeed a wine lover.

She invited the lame Taoist to sit down, and then shouted loudly to ask the man next door to run errands and buy some snacks to go with the wine.

As the two of them drank and chatted, they quickly became familiar with each other.

The lame Taoist was a true Taoist practitioner with a free and easy personality and was good at making friends. He was previously restrained by distracting thoughts in his mind, but now that he has let go of his restraints, he is showing his extraordinary demeanor.

As a person, Xie Lian II had never seen such a person before. As they chatted, he began to feel a lot of favor for the lame Taoist.

"This Danxia Mountain is truly amazing. Any random disciple can have such demeanor."

Xie Lian was deeply moved, this is indeed the orthodox Taoist school.

But she was thinking the wrong thing.

Although Danxia Mountain is nice, there are not many people like the Lame Taoist Priest.

This is a real person.

Not everyone can be called a real person.

However, the lame Taoist never said that he was a real person from beginning to end, he just regarded himself as a disciple of Danxia Mountain, so it was unlikely that Xie Lian would associate it in this direction.

But the lame Taoist didn't hide it on purpose. He just felt that to Senior Xie, the real person was nothing at all, and was probably not much different from the peddlers outside the door... In that case, what was the importance of his own identity?
Why mention it again?

This created a wonderful misunderstanding.

After a round of drinking, the lame Taoist was a little tipsy and seemed to be a bit unruly, but his mind was still clear. He waved his hand, pushed the girl in front of Xie Lian, and said.

"Senior, this girl's name is Du Ning'er, she is my disciple, she is usually spoiled, if I have offended you, please forgive me."

"Master!"

Du Ning’er pouted, as if she was dissatisfied with the lame Taoist’s description of her as “spoiled”, but she was just a little girl acting like a spoiled child and she still knew what was important. She turned around and looked at Xie Lian, bowing respectfully.

"Ning'er greets Senior Xie."

Xie Lian chuckled, knowing that the lame Taoist suddenly introduced his disciple because he wanted Du Ning'er to leave a good impression in front of her. She was not a person without emotional intelligence, and was about to compliment him, but after her eyes fixed on the girl, she became a little solemn.

"Hey, there seems to be something strange about this child?"
