Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 515 Lin Daiyu~ She seems like a blade of grass~
The prerequisite for a master to accept a disciple on behalf of another is that the master is willing to accept.

Lin Dao wasn't sure about it either, and could only say that he would do his best.

"Again."

I cannot guarantee whether the matter will succeed.

"It all depends on your luck."

He felt lucky to have been accepted as a disciple of the Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

What he didn't know was that, as the only conduit capable of traversing all the heavens and myriad worlds, his importance far exceeded his own imagination.

"If you encounter your master coming to find you in your dreams, then the matter is accomplished."

"If nothing happens by the time I wake up, then let's just let this matter go."

Lin Dao calmly replied, "I have done my best."

"Whether you succeed or fail, it all depends on your own fate."

"Thank you so much, my benefactor." Lin Daiyu, her eyes red-rimmed but smiling, bowed again. "I will never forget your immense kindness!"

"One day, I'll repay your kindness with kindness."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

Lin Dao paused for a moment, then spoke calmly.

"My handsome and charming benefactor, I can repay you with my body."

"My benefactor, you ugly and despicable man, then you'll repay him in the next life, won't you?"

"No need to say anything, I understand."

Now it was Lin Daiyu's turn to be dumbfounded.

Given her upbringing, it's extremely rare for her to display such an unbelievable radiance.

"How...how could such words be spoken?"

She found it absurd, but upon reflection, she couldn't help but laugh.

"My benefactor, please don't make fun of me~"

"How could I, a woman of humble birth, be so heartless?"

"My benefactor's kindness, I...I...I..."

I stammered for a while without saying anything, but my pretty face flushed red.

There was no way she could bring herself to say the words "offer herself in return."

Even in wealthy and powerful families, there are women like Sister Feng who, after getting married, use foul language.

However, most of them received a good education from a young age.

Lin Daiyu, who loved reading all sorts of books, naturally knew what it meant to pledge herself to someone.

Anyone else would have already picked up their fan and left.

In reality, if someone else were to speak so sweetly to her, they wouldn't even have the chance to hear her say anything.

"Go."

Lin Dao, who was in a hurry to get things done, waved his hand and said, "I'll know the answer in my dreams tonight."

Once outside, a group of old women hurriedly gathered around.

Miss Lin, however, acted as if she hadn't seen him.

With Yu Zijuan's help, she returned to her house.

She had never seen anything like receiving divine guidance in a dream, despite reading so many miscellaneous books.

Moreover, Lin Dao's statement, "If you don't come, it means you don't want to accept it," is the most typical excuse.

But for some reason, Lin Daiyu had a subtle feeling.

Lin Dao is telling the truth!
After serving her father his medicine and letting him fall asleep, Lin Daiyu returned to her own room.

"Miss~" After helping Lin Daiyu wash up, Zijuan rummaged through the box, asking, "What are you looking at today?"

"I'm not watching it today."

Lin Daiyu got into bed and said, "Let's go to sleep early tonight."

Upon hearing this, Zijuan, who already had a copy of "The Peony Pavilion" in her hand, turned around in astonishment.

In the past, Miss Lin would often read until late at night, or even until dawn.

what is it today?
"Girl, you~"

She walked over cautiously, her expression concerned. "Are you perhaps ill?"

"Nonsense!"

Because Lin Ruhai was out of danger, he had hope of surviving.

Feeling safe and secure by her father's side, Lin Daiyu's mood improved considerably.

She lay down in bed and patted Zijuan on the shoulder. "You have something to do, go to sleep."

Zijuan wanted to ask, but it was rare that Miss Lin was resting so early.

She put away the books in her hands and went to lie down next to the gauze-covered wardrobe.

Lin Daiyu, who was suffering from insomnia, fell into a deep sleep not long after lying down tonight for some reason.

Zijuan, on the other hand, tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

They waited until dawn, when the old women and maids outside the house began to get up to clean and boil water.

Zijuan, who had barely slept all night, simply got up.

As Miss Lin's personal maid, she naturally had to obey the old women and maids that Lin Ruhai had arranged for her.

After a flurry of activity, Zijuan came in carrying a washbasin and gently called Lin Meimei to get up.

Lin Daiyu opened her eyes, her gaze bright and blinking, as if she were recalling something.

"Miss Lin~"

Zijuan had just started speaking when Lin Daiyu sat up.

"It really is true! It's actually true!"

"Really~"

Lin Daiyu, who was muttering to herself, got off the bed and ran outside barefoot without wearing stockings.

Zijuan was terrified and quickly went forward to hug her.

"Young lady, young lady, what's wrong with you? Have you developed hysteria?"

Fortunately, Lin Daiyu quickly came to her senses, took Zijuan's little hand, and gave her urgent instructions.

"Hurry up, wash up and get dressed!"

"I want to see my benefactor, my senior brother!"

For Lin Daiyu, this was the first time she had ever experienced such a state of panic mixed with joy, losing her usual composure.

Zijuan, who was holding Lin Daiyu's slender waist, was thunderstruck upon hearing this.

She didn't sleep a wink all night, worried about just this.
While on the boat, she herself told Miss Lin the story of Young Master Lin.

But once they arrived in Yangzhou, Young Master Lin kept appearing in Miss Lin's mouth.

Later, he even became her benefactor, and she would say things like "I'll repay your kindness with my life" and so on.

Zijuan is also literate.

While staying up late with Lin Daiyu, she also read miscellaneous books such as "The Romance of the Western Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion".

Although she's young, she knows quite a lot. Lin Daiyu's behavior... could it be...?
But what about Young Master Baoyu?
As expected, Lin Daiyu, who hadn't even eaten breakfast, came looking for Lin Dao, only to find nothing.

At this point in time, Lin Dao hadn't come out at all.

Recovering from her shock and joy, Lin Daiyu ran to find Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai is eating porridge~
Of course, it's not plain white rice porridge, but red rice porridge.

This red rice is Oden japonica rice, also known as rouge rice, which comes from Oden.

Aside from the royal family, only noble families and trusted ministers could receive rewards.

Nowadays, countless eyes are watching when someone is cooking in the salt administration office.

The cook, who used to be unable to harvest anything, was always drenched in sweat every time he cooked.

Let alone stealing, I wouldn't even dare to take a bite.

His once chubby figure has become thinner from hunger in the past few days.

"Daddy~"

Lin Daiyu ran in happily, and her shout startled the concubine who was holding the bowl and spoon, causing her hand to tremble and spill half a bowl of porridge on Lin Ruhai.

A chaotic scene ensued.
Lin Ruhai, having changed his clothes, looked at his daughter with confusion, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

This was the first time I had seen Lin Daiyu so cheerful and radiant since Jia Min's death.

"Daddy~"

Lin Daiyu, her face flushed, shared her joy with all her heart.

"My benefactor wasn't lying to me; I really do dream about my master when I sleep!"

"Sleep...sleep?!" Perhaps his head was spinning from the medication, but Lin Ruhai's first thought was...
Lin Daiyu was a clever girl, and she understood what it meant as soon as she heard it.

Her pretty face immediately flushed with embarrassment, as if she were sweating profusely.

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Despite her young age, she knows a lot.

Coming to his senses, Lin Ruhai first gave an awkward smile, then paused in surprise.

How did you figure that out?

"Father~" Not daring to let her father know that she was reading random books, Lin Daiyu quickly changed the subject.

"My benefactor said~"

"After falling asleep last night~"

"I begged my master to heal my father!"

"It's actually true!"

After hearing what she said, Lin Ruhai gave a wry smile, taking it as his daughter having a very real dream.

But no matter how real a dream may seem, it is still just a dream.

However, his daughter's filial piety still brought him great comfort.

Seeing that her father didn't believe her, Miss Lin became increasingly anxious to explain, but the more she explained, the less Lin Ruhai believed her.

Having no other choice, she skipped breakfast and went to wait outside Lin Dao's house.

They waited until the sun was high in the sky before the door finally opened.

"What did you say?!"

After hearing the story, Lin Dao paused, then asked in surprise, "You really dreamed about Master?"

That's impossible. Even the First Emperor didn't receive guidance from a master, yet you did.

Why? !

"Master said..." Seeing that Lin Dao believed her words, Lin Meimei felt relieved. "Please, Senior Brother, pass on the teachings on Master's behalf!"

Let me teach you a trick!
All he knows is one set of Great Celestial Technique.

Learning it is useless; at most, it might grant you some power or influence.

"You wait a moment."

Lin Dao waved his hand, "I'll discuss this matter after I've asked my master about it."

He turned around, went inside, turned around again, and closed the door.

Upon arriving at Yonghe Time and Space, I immediately lay down and went to sleep.

A familiar dojo, faces blurred in the distance.

The faces of the group of fellow disciples dressed in Taoist robes were all blurred.

But Lin Dao could sense that they were all looking at him with smiles.

The Bodhi Patriarch sat on a futon, with golden lotuses swirling and disappearing around him, emitting a wonderful fragrance.

'what? '

'Can I smell things in my dreams now?'

Bodhi Patriarch looked at him.

In an instant, Lin Dao 'heard' a lot of information.

The ancestor answered his question.

'Those in the mortal realm, regardless of their status or position, have been barred from any connection to the immortal realm since the Heavenly Tribulation.'

Even emperors are like this, unless they are human emperors~

"The path to the throne of the Human Emperor requires immense merit; there is no other way but for someone like you."

As for your junior sister, she has her own destiny to become an immortal.

Lin Dao finally realized.

No wonder the First Emperor could not obtain enlightenment; it turns out that the opportunity to cultivate immortality was sealed off after the Heavenly Tribulation.

Just like in the modern world, once the economy is stable, no ordinary person can successfully start a business.
As for Lin Daiyu's fate with the immortals~
She looks like a blade of grass.
'So, the world I'm going to now has gods and Buddhas?!'

Lin Dao's heart tightened.

What he fears most is this kind of spacetime with uncontrollable power.

Sensing Lin Dao's worry, Patriarch Bodhi gently opened his eyes.

'You are my disciple, who dares to harm you?'

Confident and domineering!
This "who" probably includes even the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

'I will impart my own techniques to you~'

One of them can be given to your junior sister by you.

The next moment, Lin Dao opened his eyes.

He woke up.

A new cultivation technique also appeared in his mind.

"Eight or Nine Arcane Arts!?"

What surprised him even more was that Patriarch Bodhi had written an extra chapter for Lin Dao to pass on to Lin Meimei.

"An indestructible body?!"

“This, this, this~”

"Is Lin Daiyu trying to become a bodybuilder?"
