Under such circumstances, a consensus was reached. Li Yufeng and Zhuang Yulang felt like old friends at first sight, while Chu Xiang and Bai Yi chatted happily. The distance between the two sides was reduced by just one ruined temple. Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng also hired a carriage. The only difference was that theirs was more spacious. They put some of the villaâs luggage on to make the villa family feel more comfortable, so they agreed to go together. They transferred some of the Zhuang familyâs luggage just so that they would also be more comfortable, and agreed to travel together. Then they agreed to travel together.
Zhuang Liushi didnât like Chu Xiang because she bullied her, but it was rare for Zhuang Yulang to make a friend who was studying, so she couldnât disrupt it. She was left with no choice but to talk less. In private, however, he vented all her anger on Bai Yi, making her nurse heaps of grievances.
Bai Yi was willing to suffer these grievances, but she couldnât help but wonder. Was she sick? Why should she, a great demon, suffer the wrath of an unreasonable woman here? She and Chu Xiang grew up together, but wasnât Chu Xiang living a happy life at the moment? How much grievances must she tolerate? What was she after?
The questions that Chu Xiang asked her lingered more frequently in her mind. If it wasnât for her romantic bond with Zhuang Yulang, she really would have walked away.
The five of them plus one coachman of the Zhuang familyâs carriage felt a sense of spring breeze when they walked to the Cui Bamboo Forest. Zhuang Liu said joyfully, âThis place must be spiritual. We must ask properly.â
Chu Xiang and Bai Yi suppressed their demonic aura and queued behind the commoners. Bai Yi looked at the long line and exclaimed in surprise, [Xiangâer, is there really a snake demon? Is he so popular? Why?]
[Yufeng said he is a snake demon, but weâll know when we see him later. He gave the people medical consultations and he also doesnât charge for the medicine until the disease is cured. Of course, the commoners like him. Some people also claimed that his fortune-telling is accurate. Maybe he used magic to help others who needed a bit of help. Hundreds of people believe these.]
Bai Yi nodded in deep thought. Seeing the gratitude on the faces of the people coming out of the bamboo house, another question popped in her head: [Xiangâer, tell me⊠if one day they get to know that the Immortal Doctor is a snake demon, will they still like him?]
[Of course not. Maybe one out of ten thousand people will continue to like him. The so-called different paths of mortals and demons is exactly so. Unless people have known from the beginning that he is a demon, only then could they accept it].
Bai Yi looked at Zhuang Yulang, feeling worried. The person Zhuang Yulang liked was the virtuous orphan girl named Bai Yi. If one day Zhuang Yulang discovered that she was a fox demon who punished Miss Jiang and Zhuang Liu, would he still like her?
Absolutely not.
These two words suddenly fell in Bai Yiâs mind, making her face turn pale in an instant. Zhuang Yulang noticed it and said worriedly, âWhatâs wrong? Are you uncomfortable?â
Bai Yi shook her head and replied with a forced smile, âPerhaps the sun is too hot, plus Iâve been standing for a long time.â
âSqueamish,â Zhuang Liu muttered mutedly. Chu Xiang, Bai Yi and Li Yufeng, who had cultivation, all heard her.
Bai Yi felt a little embarrassed for the first time. She was also a high-level cultivator. Why was she the only one who was at the mercy of someoneâs humiliation but still could not fight back?
When it was their groupâs turn, Bai Yiâs pale face fit a patientâs appearance. Thus, as soon as they entered the bamboo hut, the âImmortal Doctorâ glanced at her. However, he didnât find anything wrong with her and wondered, âMiss, where are you uncomfortable?â
When Zhuang Liu saw how the âImmortal Doctorâ asked Bai Yi directly, she felt discomfited. She decided that Bai Yi was a seductive vixen. Even the man she just met paid attention to her first. Zhuang Liu squeezed to the front and said smilingly, âImmortal Doctor, itâs not her. I would like to ask you to read my sonâs fortune to see if he can pass brilliantly and be the champion in the imperial exams, how is marriage stands as well as his children.â
The âImmortal Doctorâ nodded and stretched out his hand, signaling Zhuang Yulang to sit down. He carefully examined his face and palm, âThis young man is born with shallow fortuneâŠâ
âImpossible!â Zhuang Liu abruptly rose to her feet and reasoned excitedly, âHow could he be blessed sparingly? My son passed the provincial imperial examination at a young age and his future is bright. Stop talking nonsenseâŠâ
âMom, calm down and be patient.â Zhuang Yulang frowned and interrupted her, apologizing to the Immortal Doctor.
The Immortal Doctor has long been used to such scenes and said calmly, âI havenât finished yet. Although your son was born with a weak fortune, he did a great deed fortunately, accumulated blessings, and had the help of some noble people along the way. He will eventually reap both fame and fortune and become a respected prime minister.â
Just as Zhuang Liu breathed a sigh of relief, she was dumbfounded again, âWhat? Prime Minister? Prime Minister?!â
Zhuang Yulang was also taken aback. âImmortal Doctor, a-are you serious?â
The Immortal Doctor nodded. âThat seems to be the case at present. However, peopleâs fate has always been inconstant. Take your poor fortune as an example. You got blessed only because of your good deeds, and it also opened this opportunity for you to meet a noble man. However, if you donât cherish your good fortune or offend your nobleman in the future, your fortune will change. Itâs hard to tell what will become of you then.â
âWho is that noble man?â Zhuang Liu asked nervously.
The Immortal Doctor shook his head gently. âI only say what I can say.â
Zhuang Liu urged anxiously,: âTell us who he is. We must give him good offerings. Just say his name.â
âHeavenly secrets must be kept secret.â
Bai Yi laughed and said, [What heavenly secret canât be revealed? He canât figure it out, right?]
This time she used voice transmission that only Chu Xiang could hear. Chu Xiang laughed in return and said, [He is a snake demon who has only cultivated for three hundred years, so it is already commendable that he could foretell this extent.]
