Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 126: The Woman of Joy
This is a two-entry courtyard with few side rooms, but the atrium is spacious.

If you are entertaining guests, there is enough space for more than ten tables.

At this time in the yard, Xu Zhiqiu was wearing an apron and had just finished preparing a table of delicious dishes.

Then I heard Wu Chongguang shouting outside:
"Master, the person has been brought here."

Turning around, Wu Chongguang led an old man and a young boy into the house.

The old man was wearing a long robe, with flowing beard, and had an immortal look. In his hand, he was holding a sign that read "Immortal Pointing the Way".

Xu Zhiqiu hurried over to greet him, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you don't look any older."

"Time waits for no one. Although I haven't aged much in the past eight years, I have more back pains."

Zhou Yixian stroked his long beard,
"I received your Danqing letter a few days ago, and learned that you were about to open a new mountain. I came here just in time to join in the fun. Ouch!"

Suddenly, he looked teasingly and raised his eyebrows:
"I can't call you that casually anymore. You have to call me Master Xu, right?"

"Haha, you can call me whatever you want."

After saying this, Xu Zhiqiu lowered his gaze.

Zhou Yixian was followed by a little girl of eight or nine years old.

She was wearing a blue floral dress and embroidered shoes. She was holding a candied haws in her left hand and her cheeks were puffed up.

Maybe because he was shy, he hid half of his body behind the old man, with only half of his hair showing.

Those big, bulging eyes kept looking Xu Zhiqiu up and down.

"Is it Xiaohuan?" Xu Zhiqiu guessed it at a glance, "She grows so fast."

Zhou Yixian looked back and smiled helplessly:

"You little girl, you are usually lawless, why are you shy today? You like him the most when you wear open-crotch pants."

I thought Xiao Huan was shy, but the first thing she said was:
"Uncle, your face looks so strange, I can't tell."

Xu Zhiqiu was stunned by what he said.
"Can you still read faces?"

"Hehe, this kid has received my true teachings and is proficient in Jade Pillar Physiognomy and Ziwei Doushu..."

Zhou Yixian looked proud, leaned close to Xu Zhiqiu's ear and whispered:
"Hey, you know that my two moves are just for bluffing, but this kid really has real skills. He is a natural physiognomist and can predict a person's life and death like reading the lines on his palm. He is much smarter than me. Hiss...how come he can't tell your face today?"

"Maybe my fate is different from others?"

Xu Zhiqiu smiled knowingly, but remained silent on what he said.

He has been reincarnated three times, and his fate should also be superimposed on these three lives.

But after all, he never believed in that stuff.

……

Xu Zhiqiu asked the grandfather and grandson to sit down, but Zhou Yixian pulled him back and pointed outside the door.

"Who do you think that is?"

Xu Zhiqiu looked in the direction he was looking.

I saw a woman standing outside the door, holding the door with one hand and looking inside.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, wearing simple clothes and with her hair tied up in a scarf.

"Sister Qu?" Xu Zhiqiu was pleasantly surprised and walked forward. "It's been years since we last met. Why are you standing outside the door?"

Qu Niang looked at him straight in the eyes:
"Son..."

"Come in quickly."

When Qu Niang was led into the yard, she seemed a little awkward and reserved. After sitting down, she held Xiao Huan in her arms and caressed her without saying a word.

Monday Xiandao:

"After that incident, she had nowhere to go, so she followed us grandfather and grandson to travel around the world. Thanks to her for taking care of Xiaohuan for the past eight years, otherwise an old man like me would not be able to take care of it."

"This is what I expected."

Xu Zhiqiu and Qu Niang looked at each other in silence for a moment.

The entanglement between the two was not shallow. This time they met, they were all mixed up, and they didn't even know what to say for a while. Thinking back to the words he had said to persuade her to be a good woman when they were together, now it seems...

"This result shouldn't be a bad one for her, right?"

Xu Zhiqiu felt relieved.

…………

When old friends get together, they recount their interesting experiences over the years.

Zhou Yixian was filled with regret after learning about what Xu Zhiqiu had done in the past eight years:
"No wonder, based on your experiences over the years, you deserve your current reputation."

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head and sighed:

"To be honest, I personally yearn for a life of leisure and ease, but to establish a sect, fame and fortune are also necessary."

"Fame and fortune are good things! Not to mention the distant consequences, if it weren't for your fame saving our lives, the three of us would have died long ago."

After saying that, Zhou Yixian put on a weird smile as if he was taking advantage of something.

Xu Zhiqiu looked at him, "What do you mean?"

"I don't remember it very clearly, it seems to be half a year ago, I was at the edge of Zhenze, and I don't know how, but I inexplicably offended a remarkable woman..."

"Why is it so inexplicable?" Xiao Huan suddenly interrupted, "It was obviously you, Grandpa, who told her fortune and fooled her. You also said that she was beautiful, but in her previous life she was a vixen, and in this life she will bring misfortune to her loved ones, her brother, her father, and her husband, so that she would spend money to buy your talisman to ward off disasters."

"Go away! What do you know, kid? I work so hard to make money, isn't it just to support a heartless little thing like you?"

Zhou Yixian scolded his granddaughter, then stroked his beard and recalled to Xu Zhiqiu -

"...The woman looks to be about 17 or 18 years old. She is young but has many skills. I think the method she practices is strange, and she seems to be from the Hehuan Sect."

"You know my abilities. Fighting is not my forte. I was about to be defeated by that girl. We had no other options, so we brought out some celebrities to scare him."

Zhou Yixian counted on his fingers:

"I told her all the names of the three righteous sects, the four evil sects, and all the famous people, but she just wouldn't buy it. I was about to get beaten, and guess what happened in the end?"

"What's going on?"

"I was desperate and tried every possible means, and you were the one who brought me the disaster. I didn't have any hope at first... but guess what? The woman stopped! Guess what happened next?"

"You're from Peking? Can you talk properly?"

Zhou Yixian slapped his thigh:

"That woman actually asked me where you were! How would I know that?"

"Oh, what then?"

"And then..." Zhou Yixian suddenly stuttered, "And then I got beaten?"

"puff……"

Wu Chongguang, who was standing by, almost couldn't hold back his laughter. When Xu Zhiqiu glanced at him, he immediately buried his head in his food.

Xu Zhiqiu thought about it for a moment, and some past events came to his mind.

"So, that woman came for me."

"Yes." Zhou Yixian patted his shoulder, "He Huan and you have a deep hatred, you have to be careful."

Xu Zhiqiu sneered:
"It doesn't matter. She's just a little girl. I don't think she can cause any trouble."

……

The two of them ate and chatted, and soon talked about the business at hand -

"By the way, aren't you going to start the sect soon? Where has the sect been decided?"

"Not far from here, a few hundred miles."

"Wouldn't that mean we would be neighbors with Qingyun Sect? Isn't that inappropriate?"

"I'm not opening a restaurant to compete with them for business, so how can it be wrong? Besides, I haven't taken over the spiritual veins of Qingyun Mountain."

"So, when will the groundbreaking be?"

"Let's get started in the next chapter."
