seek immortality

Chapter 1213 Legend of the Four Overcast Cloud Covers (26)

"Yes, Mr. Yun, that's exactly my name." Tian Zhao didn't raise his head, but it didn't delay his answer.

Yun Zhongda went on to talk nonsense: "How many years have you been doing these things?"

"It's been a long time. I've been doing this since I left the academy." Tian Zhao said shyly.

Yun Zhongda said: "Have you ever read a book?"

In his impression, scholars always have a bit of arrogance, no matter what they do, they will not come to be servants.

Being a scholar and being literate are not the same thing.

Tian Zhao smiled wryly: "Don't joke, I used to want to be number one in the examination."

Yun Zhongda said: "What happened later?"

How could a person who wanted to take the No. [-] examination be reduced to become a servant?
Tian Zhao said helplessly: "I really don't have such talent."

"Oh." Seeing his complex expression, Yun Zhongda obviously had a certain mood, so he stopped asking further questions.

Tian Zhao glanced at him gratefully, and went on to do his business.

Yun Zhongda said: "Then you have been in the mansion for a long time, right?"

"Ah? That's only a few days." Tian Zhao thought for a while, "Actually, I've only been in the mansion for half a month..."

"Half a month?" Yun Zhongda was surprised.

Tian Zhao was afraid that he would think he was a newcomer, so he hurriedly said: "The Su Mansion has just changed its name, and I am already an old man in the mansion."

Half a month old?

Yun Zhongda was speechless, but what was even more speechless was that this Su Manor was even younger than he imagined.

"Isn't Miss Su from Hailiang City?" He guessed.

Tian Zhao nodded: "Yes, she came here not long ago."

This is unexpected.

Yun Zhongda always thought that Su Meng was a local, but she came here not long ago?

Due to the long-term habit of "fleeing | fleeing", Yun Zhongda inevitably became suspicious—but he quickly dispelled that suspicion.

In any case, it is true that Su Meng saved him.

That's all he needs to know. As for Su Meng's secret, he can wait until she breaks through before asking.

When the time comes, if she wants to answer, he will listen; if she doesn't want to speak, it doesn't matter.

Yun Zhongda then asked, "Why weren't you here yesterday?"

"I'm going home to meet my parents." Tian Zhao replied.

He didn't mention that it was Zhang Chaoxiang who gave him the holiday, after all, it seemed like he was bringing up the old story again.

Now that Zhang Chaoxiang has changed his mind, he should stop being the one who makes trouble, right?

So he omitted the process and only talked about the result.

"Oh." Yun Zhongda casually asked him how his parents were.

Tian Zhao smiled gratefully, and naturally said that he had a good life.

Yun Zhongda asked, "Then have you ever heard of a man named Jiang Yuhe?"

He had already found Zhang Chaoxiang and asked the man's name, so he wouldn't make a mistake.

"Jiang Yuhe?" At first hearing the name, Yun Zhongda felt a little strange.

However, he slowly remembered that Zhang Chaoxiang had mentioned this name.

It seemed to be a friend of Guanshi Zhang. At that time, he was still very impressed that Zhang Chaoxiang had a friend who was a monk.

"Oh, him!" Tian Zhao nodded, "Of course I've heard of it!"

Yun Zhongda tasted the food calmly, and asked nonchalantly, "Do you know him?"

"Forget it." Tian Zhao said, "He is Guanshi Zhang's friend, he doesn't seem to be very good at doing things, so he borrowed Guanshi Zhang's reputation and hangs in the mansion for a while to make a living."

"How could a monk be like this?" Yun Zhongda asked.

Tian Zhao shook his head: "Then, I don't know about it."

Yun Zhongda nodded and said, "Thank you."

Tian Zhao was very embarrassed: "There is nothing to be grateful for, you just asked me a few words!"

Yun Zhongda still waved his hand, since he specially called Tian Zhao here, naturally he wouldn't owe him any favors.

The grace of saving his life is unclear, but he still deserves such a small favor.

Yun Zhongda took out a small box and handed it to Tian Zhao: "Don't let people see it. I gave you gold as a reward before. This time it's a thank you gift. Naturally, it's not good to give that again."

Seeing the generous Yun Zhongda being so solemn, Tian Zhao nodded even more seriously.

After giving the gift, Yun Zhongda suddenly asked: "Since this Hailiang City is a city of monks, why don't you practice?"

Tian Zhao smiled wryly: "I don't have spiritual roots, how can I choose to practice?"

"...Who said you don't have spiritual roots?" Yun Zhongda asked.

Tian Zhaodao: "It's my former neighbor. He has become a half-immortal now. He once came to see me. I wanted to be honored at first, but unfortunately he said that he had already joined the sect and cut himself off from the world. Without spiritual roots, one cannot cultivate, so immortals are different, so it is best not to touch them."

Talking about that neighbor, Tian Zhao's tone also sounded a little pity.

Yun Zhongda said: "Forget it, you take the box and go, don't let others know that you got this."

He threw out another gold ingot: "If anyone makes things difficult for you again, just say that I gave you this piece of gold."

Tian Zhao hurriedly refused, saying: "Young Master Yun, this reward is too much..."

"People only dislike too few, but you dislike too many?" Yun Zhongda smiled, "Take it."

Tian Zhao accepted it embarrassingly.

Although he has obtained two gold ingots, he is not yet at the point where he can turn a blind eye to the gold.

Yun Zhongda waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back... By the way, are you going back to your own home, or are you staying in the mansion?"

"It's getting dark now, I still live in Fuchu, here is where I live." Tian Zhao said.

"Pay attention to yourself. I don't think others will need the things in this box, but it is inevitable that some people will have unreasonable thoughts." Yun Zhongda warned.

This is the third time Yun Zhongda has reminded Tian Zhao not to let others touch the box.

Not even to let people know what's in the box.

Although Tian Zhao didn't understand, he still nodded seriously. He thought that what Yun Zhongda said must have his deep meaning.

Since you don't understand, just do it.

Tian Zhao then left.

Yun Zhongda stayed in the room by himself, with a puzzled look on his face.

Although he had already asked Tian Zhao, Tian Zhao's answer was indeed watertight, but he still had a trace of doubt in his heart.

This suspicion is not aimed at Tian Zhao, he knows that Tian Zhao is not lying, but interestingly, he has a strong premonition - what Tian Zhao said is not true.

There is no contradiction between Tian Zhao not lying and what he said is not true.

If Tian Zhao firmly believed that what he said was true, he would not have lied.

But who taught Tian Zhao the truth?

In Yun Zhongda's mind, a face immediately popped up.

Zhang Chaoxiang.

Alas... Although he was so skeptical, he was very afraid that he was being suspicious.

"Forget it, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain!" Yun Zhongda sighed, and at the end, he suddenly looked at the bed.

On the bed, there is a sword.
