Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 239 The girl is very beautiful, so don't get your hopes up too high.
Zhuang Buran's eyes flashed, and he entered the inn, ordering a table full of dishes before finding a window seat in the lobby.

Before long, a woman dressed in a light purple gauze dress walked straight over and sat down opposite the young man in white carrying a sword.

But she had a slender waist and long legs, and a graceful figure, exuding a mature, charming, elegant and generous temperament.

"I am a complete stranger to you, young lady. Is it really appropriate for you to be so informal?"

"Let bygones be bygones. The fact that we can meet in an inn today is fate. What's wrong with that?"

"As the old saying goes, thick-skinned people get their fill, thin-skinned people get nothing." Zhuang Buran shook his head.

"The girl's brazen attitude of freeloading is truly speechless."

"Who's freeloading?" The woman in purple paused for a moment, then said:
"I'm planning to open a tavern, so I've been secretly looking into the market and trying out different restaurants' food and drinks."

"I really want to believe it, but I just can't."

Upon hearing this, the woman in purple took out a silver ingot, slammed it on the table, and then called out:
"Waiter, put this meal on my tab, and bring a few more jugs of good wine."

"okay!"

A waiter hurriedly ran over, beaming as he took the money.

Zhuang Buyan raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Young lady, you are very generous. Why don't you book another superior room for me?"

The woman in purple was taken aback and asked:

"Didn't you say we were complete strangers? Why are you pushing your luck?"

She became inexplicably agitated:
Do you still remember me?

"The girl first struck up a conversation, then displayed her wealth, and then fabricated a story about how they had known each other before."

Zhuang Bu Ran sighed softly:
"My master was right after all. When you're out in the world, not only should young ladies learn to protect themselves, but young men should also learn to protect themselves."

"What do you mean?" the woman in purple asked suspiciously.

Zhuang Buran countered with a question:
"It's clearly the young lady who was lusted by his looks, so why are you asking me what I mean?"

The woman in purple suddenly realized what was happening and said, somewhat annoyed:

"You actually mistook me for a lecherous man!"

Zhuang Buran corrected him with a serious expression:
"Wrong, you're just being ripped off."

The woman in purple smiled sweetly, as if she had just thought of something.
"That's right, I've fallen for you. I wonder what it will take for you to like me back?"

Zhuang Buran looked him up and down:
"The girl is very beautiful."

The woman in purple looked expectant.
"and then?"

Zhuang Buran took a sip of tea:
Don't get your hopes up too high.

"you"

Zi Xuan was furious and secretly blamed the Five Elders of Shu Mountain. How could her steady, resolute, affectionate, and unwavering lover, who was not good with words, have developed such a cunning and strange personality in this life?

“Young lady, I know you are in a hurry, but please don’t rush,” Zhuang Buran said slowly.

"Considering you're reasonably good-looking, I might give you a chance."

“In this mundane world, gold and silver best represent a person’s intentions. Miss, may I see your sincerity first?”

"You want money?" Zixuan asked suspiciously.

Zhuang Buran said solemnly:

"I don't want money, but I want to see how much weight the so-called love at first sight carries in a girl's heart."

Upon hearing this, Zi Xuan actually took out a bulging money bag and pushed it in front of the white-robed sword-carrying youth: "These should be enough to show my sincerity."

Zhuang Buran opened the bag and saw that it was full of gold. He couldn't help but exclaim:
"The young lady is indeed very sincere, but if you give me all your money, how will your tavern stay open?"

“I am quite wealthy, so this amount of money is nothing to me.”

Zi Xuan decided to play her part to the end, wanting to see what the white-clad, sword-wielding youth in front of her would actually look like.

"Then I shall accept your offer without hesitation."

Zhuang Buran casually placed the money pouch into the cloth bag slung across his shoulder and said:
"My name is Xu Changqing. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"Zixuan".

"So it's Miss Zixuan. Then listen to my advice: don't just focus on love and romance all day long. You should have more important things to do."

Zhuang Bu Ran said calmly:
"In this life, we should observe how flowers bloom, how water flows, how the sun rises, and when it sets, and then try to understand some principles or encounter interesting things. Why should we only live for love?"

Having said that, he stood up and waved his hand:

"Consider the money from earlier as payment for my guidance of Miss Zixuan. Think it over carefully."

The young man in white, carrying a sword, asked the innkeeper for a superior room and then left the inn lobby led by a waiter.

"After three lifetimes of cultivation, he still can't shake his stinky Taoist nature of liking to comfort people." Zi Xuan thought to herself, her eyes like autumn water.

"I knew this money-grubbing act was just an act you were putting on."

at the same time.

Inside the Wuji Pavilion of Mount Shu, the Five Elders of Mount Shu, relying on their cultivation and the magical artifact that could see for thousands of miles, observed everything that was happening at the inn, and their expressions were somewhat strange.

Master Qingwei chuckled and said:
"Hahaha, Changqing has always been a very serious child. I never expected him to have such a wicked sense of humor in private."

Youxuan answered:
"Most importantly, Changqing did not fall in love with Nuwa's descendant again, but instead advised her not to take love to heart."

Elder Cang Gu frowned:
"We clearly sealed Changqing's memories, so why is he reminding us like this?"

"And I said long ago that women cannot be trusted. As expected, this descendant of Nuwa broke his promise and came to see Changqing. It's fortunate that he remembered my previous advice."

"Elder Yuanshen, please calm down," Daoist Qingwei said gently.

"There are some things that Changqing has to face on his own. We should trust him."

Upon hearing this, the four fell silent.

“Memory and emotion are intertwined. Even if we have sealed Changqing’s memories, his emotions are like the threads that pull the puppet. We never know which thread will be pulled and the memories will be brought out again.”

Elder Heyang sighed deeply:
"That's why Changqing couldn't help but persuade the descendant of Nuwa in the end."

"And emotions are the most ethereal thing, whose origin and end are unknown, yet they are extremely stubborn, tenacious when suppressed and easily broken when urged, only when they conform to one's nature, and cannot be destroyed or taken away by any external force."

"Furthermore, what makes Changqing who he is is that, in addition to his dedication to cultivation, he also has feelings for all things. I am deeply afraid that he may unknowingly regain his past memories and repeat the mistakes of his previous two lives."

Elder Canggu solemnly said:

"As long as Changqing devotes himself to cultivating the Tao, he will surely become an immortal. Judging from the fact that he was recognized by the divine realm, this is the will of Heaven. How can we let him fall back into the endless cycle of suffering in the mortal world because of the sins of his past life?"

Master Qingwei's voice was soothing:

"Elders, there is no need to worry too much. Changqing did not perform very well just now, which shows that even this relationship spanning two hundred years cannot shake Changqing's Dao heart for the time being."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately thought that even when their eldest disciple encountered the person he had deeply loved in his previous two lives, he only offered words of advice and did not act strangely, so they were temporarily relieved.
