Under One Person: Feng Shui Master, I Will Protect the Mountains and Rivers with My Own Body

"Tales of Extraordinary People: The Eldest Daughter of the Zhuge Family Falls in Love with a 'Rogue' — 'My name is Yan Que, and I am a Feng Shui Master!'"

"In Yanjing, at the entrance of a certain alley, a young man dressed in tattered clothes but with a handsome appearance is holding the hand of a pretty young girl and introducing himself to her in a serious manner."

Note: The anecdotes about extraordinary individuals do not follow the normal timeline of the main story!

----------------------------

"Duo'er, it's alright, don't be afraid. Once we get up the mountain, just do as I teach you, and you'll be fine."

"Okay, I got it, Sen-ge."

At the foot of Longhu Mountain in Yingtan, Jiangxi Province.

This is the ancestral temple of the Zhengyi School of Taoism and a sacred place for the supernatural. It is usually bustling with worshippers and tourists.

Yan Sen, wearing a navy blue short jacket, was holding Chen Duo's hand, who was wearing a pink dress and carrying a yellow duck backpack. They were standing furtively behind an old, crooked tree not far from the ticket office of the scenic area.

He peeked out and stared at the middle-aged woman with a fierce face who was eating sunflower seeds at the ticket window. His lips twitched involuntarily.

Good grief, I've only been away for a while, has the Longhushan ticket office undergone a complete staff reshuffle?

Back when he was hanging out in the mountains, he used his silver tongue and the snacks he occasionally snagged to become close friends with the gatekeeper, Aunt Wang, despite their age difference. He could come and go from the scenic area as if it were his own backyard.

Now, things have turned out differently. Grandma Wang has retired, and she's been replaced by a strange, unapproachable older woman.

He had just tentatively gone up to her to try and strike up a conversation, but the woman didn't even lift her eyelids. She pointed to the whiteboard next to her and said, "Full price is 130, half price for students. If you don't have ID, go away."

One hundred and thirty?

This is robbery!

Yan Sen touched the bank card in his pocket, which still contained the huge sum of 500,000 yuan his mother had given him. He could afford the tickets for two people, but this was a matter of principle.

He Yansen, a descendant of the ground crew, is a "firefighting expert" who works for outsourced services everywhere. How could he have to buy a ticket just to go back to his own home?

If this gets out, how will he ever be able to face the supernatural community again? What will become of his title as a "succubus of the supernatural community"?

That bastard Xu Si will laugh at him for a whole year, won't he?

"Um... Brother Sen."

Chen Duo was being led by Yan Sen's hand, and her previously somewhat empty eyes now held a hint of timidity.

She reached into her other hand and pulled a crisp hundred-yuan bill from her little yellow duck bag, whispering, "I have money. Daddy Liao gave me a lot of cash... Let's not be bad people who try to evade fares, okay?"

Yan Sen looked down at the little girl in front of him, who, despite wearing a new dress, still seemed somewhat timid, and his heart softened.

But that didn't stop him from pushing Chen Duo's hundred yuan back.

"Duo'er, remember this."

Yan Sen squatted down and earnestly lectured, "This isn't fare evasion, this is going home. Paying to go home is an insult to our family! Besides, wouldn't it be better to keep the money for ourselves and buy ice cream? Why give it to these capitalists who are developing tourism?"

Chen Duo nodded as if she understood, though the logic wasn't quite right. But since Brother Sen said it, it must be correct.

"Come on! I'll show you a shortcut! That's the 'VIP route' my unreliable old man used to take me up the mountain back in the day. I don't just tell this to anyone!"

Yan Sen waved his hand dismissively, ignoring Chen Duo's weak protests, and pulled her into the bushes nearby.

The reason why Chen Duo appeared in Jiangxi dates back to that barbecue in Yanji half a month ago.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xu Si, who always loved a good show, picked his teeth and asked Yan Sen a question that went straight to the heart of the matter.

"Our succubus from the Inhumans world, have you made up your mind?"

"Decid what?"

"Of course, you should go back to whichever side. You said you miss Longhu Mountain terribly, and you miss the little sister over in South China too. Have you decided which one you want to go to first? This is a life-or-death question!"

Yan Sen was stumped by the question.

Yes, which one should we go back to first and which one should we go back to later?

I definitely need to visit Uncle Liao and Duo'er. Duo'er has been looking forward to summer vacation for a long time. I promised her on the last phone call that I would visit her during the summer vacation and take her out for delicious food.

This trip will definitely take a long time, at least more than a month.

He couldn't afford to leave his own grandfather, Master Tian, ​​behind. He'd pushed the old man, a respectable monk, to the point where he was practically cursing. If he didn't go back soon, he probably wouldn't be able to get back.

Then, I'll be staying on the mountain for at least a few months.

If I go to South China first, Longhu Mountain can't wait; if I go back to Longhu Mountain first, Duo'er will be disappointed again.

Thinking of this, Yan Sen broke out in a cold sweat.

Damn it, is this the price of being too popular?

At this moment, he was as desperate as a scumbag surrounded by multiple beautiful girls, unable to attend to them all.

Just then, Feng Baobao, who was engrossed in eating, suddenly looked up and uttered a profound statement from her greasy mouth.

"You idiot, why don't you just pick up one first and then go to the other?"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Yan Sen was practically ready to kowtow to Feng Baobao at that moment.

So the final solution was that Yan Sen first flew to Guangzhou to visit his "dearest" Uncle Liao.

Of course, the visit was a pretense; the real purpose was to poach him.

That day in the office of the Dark Fortress, Liao Zhong looked at Yan Sen's smiling face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Uncle Liao, you see, Duo'er is getting better and better, but it's not good for her to stay in the fortress all summer. I'm going back to Longhu Mountain to visit my elders. That place is beautiful and full of spiritual energy, perfect for nurturing people. I'll take Duo'er there for a month, and let her experience Taoist culture and cultivate her character. What do you think?"

While Yan Sen was saying he wanted to discuss it, he had already started helping Chen Duo pack her luggage.

Actually, Yan Sen also had a little selfish motive.

Chen Duo's background and constitution are too special. Although she is now protected by Liao Zhong, there is no guarantee that some inhumane senior executives in the company will still be wary of her identity as the "Gu Body Saint Child". This wariness is always a time bomb for Chen Duo.

If Chen Duo could come back to Longhu Mountain with him, show her face in front of his grandmaster, or even learn a move or two, that would be a completely different story.

If anything happens in the future, and the company wants to take action against Chen Duo, they'll have to think twice about whether she still has the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion standing behind her.

Although Yan Sen himself was considered a "connected person" of Longhu Mountain, there was still a layer between them. How could it be as effective as Chen Duo directly contacting the Old Celestial Master?

This was a strategic move, and also a protective talisman that Yan Sen found for Chen Duo.

Based on this consideration, the thoughts of a burly, muscular, and subservient daughter-lover become completely irrelevant.

Liao Zhong watched as Chen Duo's eyes lit up instantly when she heard the words "go out and play with Brother Sen," a look of anticipation he rarely saw in Duo'er's eyes.

At that moment, Liao Zhong knew he had lost.

Finally, with gritted teeth and tears in his eyes, he personally saw Chen Duo off on the train to Jiangxi.

"Duo'er, when you're away from home, listen to your brother Sen! Call Dad if you miss me! Take care of yourself! Don't catch a cold!"

Liao Zhong's grief-stricken roar still echoes in Yan Sen's ears.

She finally made the trip, but instead of catching up with her uncle, she kidnapped his precious daughter right away.

At this moment, Liao Zhong's feelings were in complete agreement with those of Yan Que, the biological father whom Yan Sen had successfully forgotten.

Liao Zhong (Yan Que): Damn it, you little brat, you have no heart!

……

Let's return to the present.

On a rarely visited path in the back of Longhu Mountain.

Although Yan Sen calls it the "VIP channel," this path is indeed not easy to traverse.

Overgrown with weeds and jagged rocks, only someone like Yan Sen, who has spent a lot of time in the mountains since childhood, could adapt to it.

"Brother Sen, I can't walk anymore."

Chen Duo stopped, slightly out of breath. Fine beads of sweat covered her face, and her new white shoes were covered in mud.

Yan Sen turned around and looked at Chen Duo, who looked somewhat tired but still persevering, and felt a sense of relief.

The "open treatment" for Chen Duo did indeed work.

In the past, she would only endure her fatigue and never complain of pain, like a puppet without the ability to feel pain.

But things are different now. Going to school requires her to interact with outsiders every day, and with Liao Zhong's meticulous care, she can now clearly and completely express her thoughts and needs.

This is what a normal person should be like.

"Alright, it's because you're so likable." Yan Sen teased with a smile, then turned around, bent down, patted his shoulder, and said, "Get on, I'll carry you."

Chen Duo's eyes lit up. Without refusing, she lightly jumped and climbed onto Yan Sen's back.

Feeling a warm, soft little pink ball crawling up from behind, Yan Sen stood up, supported her knees with both hands, and mischievously bounced her up.

"ah!"

Chen Duo let out a short gasp, then smiled shyly and wrapped her arms tightly around Yan Sen's neck.

Yan Sen carried Chen Duo on his back, his steps still light and quick.

As he walked, he sighed inwardly.

Yes, no matter how much she has improved in terms of personality and strength, even if she can now communicate with outsiders without any problems, even if her strength is enough to kill most ordinary superhumans in the first encounter, it doesn't change the fact that she is just a 7-year-old girl.

This sensible little girl is so endearing that it often makes people forget this fact.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked step by step towards the summit along the winding mountain path under the dappled shadows of the trees.

During the process, Yan Sen was not idle either. His mouth, which was not usually very talkative, never stopped. He told Chen Duo how he came to the mountain and what places he had passed through.

"Duo'er, look at that cave. When my dad took me up the mountain, we lived in there. Your Uncle Yan and I were almost carried away by mosquitoes."

"And that tree, see it? I once raided the bird's nest on it, but I didn't expect there to be a hornet's nest on the other side. Luckily, I ran fast. My friend who was with me got stung all over his head, and in the end, Grandpa Tian had someone apply ointment to it."

Chen Duo lay on Yan Sen's back, listening quietly, occasionally letting out a soft "hehe" laugh, her eyes full of longing.

That was a colorful childhood she had never experienced before.

After walking for about half an hour, the view suddenly opened up before us.

The eaves of the Taoist temple, with its red walls and yellow tiles, are partially hidden among the lush canopy of trees.

"We've arrived! We can already see the rooftops!"

Yan Sen stopped and pointed to the back gate of the Celestial Master's Mansion not far ahead, his tone tinged with smugness.

"Duo'er, let me tell you, your brother Sen is incredibly influential in the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain. From the old Celestial Master down to the lowly sweeping Taoist priest, they all give me some face. Everyone likes me, and that's no exaggeration!"

"Really?" Chen Duo blinked.

"It has to be true!" Yan Sen patted his chest.

"Duo'er, during this month you're staying on the mountain, you have to make everyone like you. Are you confident?"

"Yes! There is!" Chen Duo nodded vigorously.

Just then, Chen Duo's gaze suddenly passed over Yan Sen's shoulder and fell on a huge ancient camphor tree in front of her.

That tree was so big that it would take at least five people to encircle it; its canopy was so dense that it blocked out the sun.

Chen Duo's cultivation of the Gu body endowed her with an extremely sensitive perception of Qi, and this perception told her that there was a person hiding in the tree canopy.

"Brother Sen, what about him?" Chen Duo pointed her little finger to the tree canopy.

"Does that handsome older brother with white hair like you too?"

"?"

Yan Sen was taken aback.

White hair? Handsome guy?

Aside from the Old Celestial Master, who has white hair, who else on Mount Longhu has white hair...

and many more.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Yan Sen's mind: someone who always wore a white robe, had an ascetic expression, and was easily angered by the slightest teasing.

Before he could react...

"call--"

A strong gust of wind swept in from afar.

A white figure descended from the treetops like a roc spreading its wings and stood steadily in front of Yan Sen.

The man wore a spotless white Taoist robe, with a dot of cinnabar between his brows and snow-white hair. Despite his young age, he was already extremely handsome.

The visitor was none other than Zhang Lingyu, a high-ranking priest of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain and the last disciple of the old Celestial Master.

However, at this moment, the usually aloof and ethereal "Master Lingyu" had a somewhat... distorted expression on his face?

"What are you thinking about?!"

Zhang Lingyu stared intently at Yan Sen, the veins on her forehead throbbing slightly, her voice laced with barely suppressed anger: "What was that pause you just made? Have you forgotten who I am? You absolutely have!"

He was furious!

He was listening from the tree when Yan Sen was bragging to this little girl in the woods.

I was thinking that since this kid had finally come back, I, as an elder (although I'm not as old as him), should come down to greet him and, incidentally, test his cultivation level.

The results of it?

When this kid heard "handsome white-haired older brother", he actually showed a blank look as if to say, "Who the hell is this?"

Despite being two generations younger than him, he never called him "Master" and always teased him, calling him "Little Jade." Now he's even forgotten who he is!

How can we tolerate this?!

Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath and her gaze fell on Chen Duo on Yan Sen's back.

Seeing the extraordinary young girl clinging tightly to Yan Sen's neck, looking so dependent on him, Zhang Lingyu felt a strange pang of jealousy welling up inside her.

Damn it!

I was here first!

I was the one who met this guy first!

Why should this little girl, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, let him carry her like this and listen to him talk about all that old, trivial stuff?

Back when I was running around with this kid on the mountain, and even got stung by wasps because of him, he never treated me this well!

"Yan Sen!"

Zhang Lingyu suddenly flicked his sleeves, and a translucent golden light began to appear and disappear on his body.

He pointed at Yan Sen, trying his best to maintain the dignity of a "master advisor," but the "resentful woman" tone in his voice was impossible to hide.

"Put that girl down from your back!"

"I challenge you to a duel!"
