The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Young Achu looked at Lang Jiuchuan and the others warily, but as he looked, his tanned face turned crimson, and he became somewhat embarrassed.

Good heavens! He thought Xiao Hui was the most beautiful person in the world, but he didn't expect that someone was even more beautiful than Xiao Hui. This must be the legendary celestial being!

Yes, that should be true. Celestial beings should only be looked up to and worshipped, not profaned. Xiao Hui is still better!
"Who exactly are you people?" Perhaps sensing that the celestial beings meant no harm, he grew bolder, but he never left the people behind him, instead loudly pressing for answers.

Lang Jiuchuan shifted his gaze from Xiao Hui's face, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "We are wandering Taoists. Would you like us to tell your fortunes?"

"Ah, are you charlatans?" A-Chu looked behind them and said, "You don't even have a banner or sign, yet you dare to roam the martial world?"

The charlatans in town all wear white banners with the words "Iron-Mouthed Diviner" written on them. They don't even have a stick, yet they pretend to be charlatans.
Cui Xiaohui pushed him away and scolded, "Idiot, if you can't say it, don't talk nonsense."

She looked at Lang Jiuchuan with pleading eyes, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "We grew up in the mountains and are rough men, straightforward by nature. We had no intention of disrespecting or humiliating the immortal. Please forgive us, immortal."

It's strange, but the moment she saw Lang Jiuchuan, she felt incredibly excited. The feeling was indescribable; there was joy, relief, heartache, and above all, pleasure.

Even though they were meeting for the first time, she couldn't bear to look away from him for even a moment; that inexplicable feeling was as if she had met him somewhere in a past life.

"It's alright," Lang Jiuchuan said with a smile. "He has a full forehead, a square jaw, and clear eyes. He is a good match for you. You will enjoy good health and longevity."

Cui Xiaohui's nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes and fell down. She nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Lang Jiuchuan walked past them, leaving behind the words: "May your life be smooth and fulfilling."

mother.

"Hey, hey, little shrew, why are you crying?"

"Fool, go back and have your parents come to my house to propose marriage."

"Huh? You're only twelve this year, and you're already in such a hurry to marry me? Well, you're a hunter's daughter, even more fiery than a mountain pepper. Who else but me would dare to marry you? Ouch... Don't hit me, grandma, don't hit me! I'll go home right now and tell my parents to prepare the betrothal letter..."

The banter between the boy and girl drifted on the wind and reached Lang Jiuchuan's ears, causing a smile to appear on his lips.

Jiang Che turned his head and glanced at it, saying, "Little Jiu Jiu, is that...?"

"People don't necessarily have to be born into wealth to have good fortune. Being born in the mountains and fields is also fine. Although life may have its ups and downs, she knows how to be a good mother in this life," Lang Jiuchuan said calmly. She will also have a house full of children and grandchildren and die peacefully in her old age.

Fengya said coolly, "This time you didn't bestow any great blessings upon her."

She bestowed upon herself primordial soul power, and imbued the little ginseng with spirit. She also made a contract with this cunning and obsequious fake tiger, promising to take it with her to ascend to heaven in the future. However, her mother from her previous life was quite indifferent.

"My blessing is the greatest blessing," Lang Jiuchuan said. "Everyone has their own path; why should I interfere?"

"Oh? What's that jade amulet you accidentally left behind? Is it some kind of trash you didn't want?"

Lang Jiuchuan choked, glaring at him fiercely: "You talk too much, just shut up!" She then vanished with a flick of her toes.

Fengya scoffed and chased after him.

On the mountain stream, Cui Xiaohui picked up the lustrous, ancient jade talisman and stared blankly in the direction where Lang Jiuchuan and the others had disappeared. After a long while, she finally revealed a bright, sunny smile.

……

Snapped!
A gavel fell.

"When our Great Qian Dynasty was founded, do you think it was the person who personally welcomed Emperor Qian into Wujing City? It was none other than the patriarch of the maternal clan of Immortal Lord Qingyi, Lord Lang. He led the Lang family members and officials, holding the Azure Dragon Jade Seal, and personally welcomed the then-Light Army into the city, and supported Lord Ning Zhe as emperor. Only then did we have the peaceful and prosperous Great Qian Dynasty we enjoy today, with the country thriving and the people at peace."

"Storyteller, this could only have happened if Immortal Lord Qingyi led the monks and Taoists to save the world."

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you refute the past when telling a story? What my lady said is common knowledge, why should we say more? Today we're talking about the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty, aren't we?" The storyteller stroked his beard, tapped his gavel, and laughed, "The merits of Immortal Lord Qingyi are like those of a god in the hearts of millions, needless to say, they reside in the hearts of all. What we're talking about today is the process of rebuilding and reviving the nation after the battle against the demons. How boundless and loving the Immortal Lord's maternal clan was, and how diligently and resolutely the Emperor of Great Qian governed the country, bringing about the prosperous and peaceful times we enjoy today... So, do you still want to hear the story?"

“Listen, you must listen. The Taiping Temple, which is now the most popular temple in the Great Qian Dynasty and is known as the number one temple in the world, was built by His Majesty the Emperor to commemorate the monks and Taoists who died in the battle against demons. The main hall of the temple not only enshrines the statues of the Three Pure Ones, but the Rebirth Hall also enshrines the spirit tablets of those who participated in the battle against demons and the salvation of the world. The incense is always burning.”

"Yes, yes, this year marks the beginning of the Demon Extermination War. I heard that Taiping Temple is going to hold a grand ceremony and sacrifice. The immortals will preach and pray for blessings. I wonder how many believers will go to worship and watch the excitement."

"We'll go then too."

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's go together."

The storyteller stroked his beard helplessly. This story was getting more and more off-topic. Fine, if he couldn't win the argument, he would just join in. After all, they were all telling stories anyway.

Inside the teahouse, the place was packed with guests, creating a lively atmosphere. Everyone was discussing the battle against the demons, and when they got excited, they even picked up the peach wood swords from the teahouse and started wielding them, which drew laughter from the entire audience.

Lang Jiuchuan also laughed, his eyes and brows were full of laughter, a genuine laugh from the bottom of his heart. Isn't this what is meant by the warmth and life of ordinary people?

Simple meals, leisure time to listen to ancient storytelling, and the opportunity to enjoy tea and discuss philosophy with a few close friends. There is no need to suffer from war and turmoil, nor to worry about being homeless, without a roof over one's head, or without rice to fill one's stomach.

The thriving scene before us today, with genuine smiles on people's faces, is this not the very meaning of saving the world?

The world I saved deserves this.

"Ning Zhe has indeed lived up to expectations, fulfilling his original intention of studying for a reason. Excellent." Lang Jiuchuan looked at the bustling street and then at the lively scene inside the hall, his eyes crinkling as he asked Feng Ya, "Was it truly the eldest uncle personally welcoming the army of light with the imperial seal in hand, and no one resisted?"

Fengya leaned back lazily in his chair and said, "The fact that Qingyi Immortal Lord's maternal clan personally presented the Azure Dragon Jade Seal to welcome the new emperor signifies that he has been ordained by Heaven. Who would dare to say anything? All the blessings in this world are brought about by you. You have underestimated yourself."

She sacrificed herself to save the world and prayed for divine blessings, truly embodying great virtue and beauty. Even if her family were to ascend the throne, no one would dare to object. However, the Lang family chose Ning Zhe as emperor. Such a vision, so selfless and impartial, would not deter anyone from obstructing or resisting, and they were not afraid of incurring the backlash of the world.

Lang Jiuchuan, chin in hand, eyes gleaming, felt the continuous flow of merit and faith, and said, "The number one temple under heaven, huh? He's got heart." (End of Chapter)
