On the morning of the second day, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the west wing of Yu Prefecture.
In the vermilion corridor that led to the courtyard, three people were slowly walking in this direction.
The two people in front were walking side by side. One was the aged I, who wore a lotus crown and a grey Daoist robe. The other was a heroic-looking woman in a light yellow palace dress.
Behind the two people, there was a young girl dressed in a servant girl's dress. In her hand, she carried a three-layered food box made of fragrant wood and vermilion lacquer.
I walked with his hands behind his back. His white eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his expression seemed somewhat displeased. His gaze was straight ahead, but his mind was clearly elsewhere.
The woman in the palace dress was not very old, around seventeen or eighteen years old. Although her figure had not fully developed, it looked extremely well-proportioned. Her black hair was tied up high, her facial features were elegant, and her eyebrows were full of heroic spirit. Her eyes were as bright as stars, causing one to forget about worldly affairs.
In addition, the woman's face was slightly powdered, causing her originally white and flawless cheeks to have an appropriate blush, making her appear especially lovely.
"Bai Shi Zhenren, I am truly sorry to disturb your pill refining." The woman said as she walked, her eyebrows slightly drooping.
"There is no harm in taking a look. However, I is a bit puzzled. Why does Miss Seven want I to treat a foolish mortal?" Hearing this, I withdrew his thoughts, his face still expressionless.
"You may not know, but yesterday, this person …"
The woman in the palace dress smiled faintly and roughly recounted how Liu Shi had stopped a horse to save a person on the street yesterday.
As I listened, he gently rubbed his fingers. When he heard that Liu Shi had only used one hand to stop the Azure Wind Horse that was charging madly, his white eyebrows slightly raised.
"Since he is indebted to Miss Seven, then this person is worthy of I's attention." Hearing this, I loosened his lightly rubbing index finger and thumb and said indifferently.
Hearing this, the woman in the palace dress smiled and slightly bowed.
The maidservant nervously carried the food box and obediently followed behind the two of them, not making a single sound.
In the west wing, Liu Le'er, who had already washed up and dressed, was talking to Liu Shi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Little Sister Le'Er, my Young Mistress has brought Master Immortal to visit you."
The maidservant on the side did not wait for the Miss's signal. She immediately walked forward and lightly knocked on the door a few times, calling out in a low voice.
Liu Le'er stood up and didn't rush to open the door. She asked with some doubt, "Who is your Miss?"
"Little sister Le 'er, it's me."
Hearing the familiar voice coming from outside the door, Liu Le'er blinked in confusion.
After a slight hesitation, she still walked forward and opened the door with a creak.
As soon as the door was opened, she smelled a faint smell of medicine. Then, she saw three people standing outside the door.
Her gaze first swept over I and confirmed that the smell of medicine came from him. Then, she looked at the maidservant on the side and found that she was the personal maidservant of Young Master Yu Qi, Xiao Wu.
When Liu Le'er's gaze finally fell on the woman in the yellow palace dress who had a faint smile on her face, she was startled at first, and then her mouth opened wide in shock.
"You are … Seventh Young Master!" Liu Le'er shouted with her hand covering her mouth.
"That's me.
Little sister Le'er can call me Miss Seven or Elder Sister Seven. "The woman in the palace dress looked at the young girl's astonished expression and said with a smile.
"No wonder yesterday, I felt that Seventh Young Master was a little …" Hearing this, Liu Le'er also smiled.
"A little what?" Yu Qi slightly raised her eyebrows.
"A little … not like a man." Liu Le'er thought for a while and found this euphemistic way of saying it.
"A man can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble when he walks outside.
After a few years, when you grow up, Le'er, you will understand. "The woman in the palace dress looked at Liu Le'er's pretty little face and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Le'er nodded, not fully understanding, and let the three people into the room.
"Little sister Le'er, this is the Immortal Master I told you about, Bai Shi Zhenren.
Enlightened Master, this is Liu Le'er, and the one sitting over there is her brother, Liu Shi. "Miss Seven slightly moved to the side, making way for I.
"Greetings, Immortal Master."
Liu Le'er already had some guesses in her heart, but hearing this, her heart still thumped. She hurriedly lowered her head and bowed, not daring to look at I.
Liu Shi sat on the edge of the bed and stared blankly at the people who came in.
Bai Shi Zhenren indifferently glanced at Liu Le'er, then shifted his gaze to Liu Shi. He first walked to the front, then went around to the other side, and carefully looked from top to bottom. Finally, his gaze slightly focused on the space between Liu Shi's eyebrows.
After looking for a moment, I closed his eyes, raised his palm, and suddenly pointed at the space between Liu Shi's eyebrows with two fingers.
"Ah …"
Seeing this, Le'er was startled and couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
I's outstretched fingers suddenly stiffened. He turned around and glanced at her with a displeased expression.
"Little Sister Le'er, Enlightened Master is helping your brother examine, no need to make a fuss." Miss Seven hurriedly pulled Liu Le'er and explained.
"I'm sorry, Immortal Master, I didn't mean to …" Liu Le'er knew she was in the wrong and quickly apologized.
Hearing this, I's expression slightly relaxed. He raised his palm again, closed his eyes, and pointed at the space between Liu Shi's eyebrows.
Following the two fingers pointing forward, a green light shone from the space between Liu Shi's eyebrows, and circular ripples swayed from it, like the ripples created when a stone was thrown into a lake.
After a moment, I lightly exclaimed, withdrew his fingers, and slowly opened his eyes.
"How is it?
Can Brother Stone be cured? "Liu Le'er hurriedly asked.
Bai Shi Zhenren glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, but didn't say anything.
Yu Qi stepped forward, pulled Liu Le'er's hand, and lightly patted the back of her hand, indicating that she shouldn't be anxious.
Liu Le'er shut her mouth and didn't ask any more questions, but her eyes were fixed on Liu Shi.
As if sensing Liu Le'er's gaze, Liu Shi's eyes shifted to her, and he swallowed the pastry in his mouth. His mouth drew back, revealing a trace of a smile.
Bai Shi Zhenren muttered to himself for a moment, and with a flip of his palm, an ancient bronze round mirror appeared out of thin air.
"Go!"
He lightly shouted, and the round mirror flashed with a green light. Immediately, it leisurely floated up, flew to the top of Liu Shi's head, and hovered motionlessly.
Bai Shi Zhenren softly chanted, and his joined fingers also drew in the air, as if he was writing some kind of hidden runes.
After a moment, both of his fingers suddenly stopped, and pointed at the round mirror from afar.
The floating round mirror immediately shook violently, and the originally somewhat uneven mirror surface lit up with a layer of misty green light, and unexpectedly became bright and clean.
Liu Le'er nervously stared at the mirror, and felt that there seemed to be some changes in the green light, as if some vague picture was about to appear.
However, after waiting for a moment, the mirror's green light was still blurry, and nothing could be seen clearly.
At this time, Liu Shi also seemed to be a little unhappy with the round mirror covering his head. He raised his hand, and waved it like he was driving away mosquitoes. Although he didn't sweep the round mirror, the green light on the mirror's surface swayed, and became more chaotic.
"Impossible, this is …"
Seeing this, Reverend White Stone's countenance changed greatly. Immediately he shook his sleeve and waved it toward the ancient mirror. The round mirror immediately flew back like a swallow returning to its nest, submerged into his hand, and disappeared without a trace.
Liu Le'er looked at this scene, and her small face immediately revealed an expression of concern.
"Did Daoist see the problem? Is there a way to cure it?" Miss Seven couldn't help but ask.
"Fifty-fifty, it may not be impossible, but …" Bai Shi Zhenren's complexion was uncertain, and he looked somewhat hesitant.
"I beg Master Immortal to definitely cure my brother." Liu Le'er was overjoyed, and quickly begged.
"If Daoist has a good method, then please be sure to cure Liu Shi. As for any costs, I will bear them." Miss Seven also opened her mouth to speak.
Hearing this, Liu Le'er looked at Yu Qi with a trace of gratitude in her eyes.
"Since Miss Seven has spoken, I will naturally do my best.
However, I have to say that his soul is in a sealed state for some unknown reason, and it will not be easy to reopen it.
Only by setting up a Spirit Summoning Spell Formation will there be a chance of a cure. It will also require Master I to be alone in a quiet room, and use all of his strength. "Bai Shi Zhenren looked at the tall Youth for a long time, and then slowly replied as if he had made up his mind.
"Then when Master Immortal is treating him, can Le'er accompany him?" Liu Le'er hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice.
"What are you accompanying him for?
You're a hindrance.
What's wrong? You, a little baby, don't believe this Old Taoist? "Reverend White Stone suddenly raised his voice as he asked.
Liu Le'er's heart thumped, and she quickly waved her hand. "I don't dare, I don't dare. Le'er only wants to accompany Elder Brother, and will just watch from the side. I guarantee that I won't disturb Master Immortal."
"Up to you.
The Spirit Summoning Spell Formation is not ordinary, and there are still some preparations that need to be done. I will go back first. "Bai Shi Zhenren first said lightly, and then looked at Yu Qi with a serious expression.
"Thank you, Daoist." Miss Seven bowed.
Liu Le'er also quickly bowed to Bai Shi Zhenren. However, before she could straighten up, I had already left the room.
