The pear tree on the wall is snowy and delicate

Chapter 18 Returning to see Dongmai

Guyang City has been very lively these days, with many outsiders gathering here, simply because the Yuanqing sect has opened its doors to recruit more disciples.

The Yuanqing Sect has a history of thousands of years. In the ancient era of fighting demons, it served as a pioneer in demon-slaying and contributed valuable combat power to the war against demons.

More than a decade ago, the sect suffered a heavy blow from external forces, and the former headmaster disappeared. After his master, Wuwei Laoxian, came out to quell the disaster, he passed the position of headmaster to his grandson, the former headmaster's eldest disciple, and gave him the title of Shangqing. It was thought that the Yuanqing sect would decline, but unexpectedly, under the leadership of Shangqing Zhenren, it gradually turned around.

Another reason for the excitement was that the Lord of Guyang City sent out posters to treat his wife's illness.

First of all, Guyangcheng is famous far and wide. In addition to the Yuan and Qing schools, another reason is because of its status as a country within a country.

The Lord of Guyang City is from the royal family. When he was young, he was an elegant and talented man. It is said that the current throne should have been inherited by the Lord of the City, but for some reason, he gave up the throne to his eldest half brother, the current emperor.

It is rare for a legitimate son to give up his throne to his successor since ancient times!

After the emperor ascended the throne, out of gratitude for the brotherhood between the two, he granted him the title of lord of a city, to be inherited from generation to generation.

At the city gate, Lingxiang looked at the two large notices and couldn't help feeling happy: if I was sleepy, someone would send me a pillow; if it was cold, someone would send me firewood. Then she took down the doctor recruitment notice.

The door of the Youranju shop was wide open. Long Qi thought it had been robbed and rushed in to check, but he found the house clean and tidy, as if it had just been cleaned.

Could it be that this thief has a special hobby of helping others clean?

He scratched his head and stepped into the backyard, only to see a woman in blue watering spiritual plants.

She had long black hair, willow-like eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, thin lips, fair skin and a childish face, and was dressed like a lady.

The woman also saw Long Qi, but saw that he was carrying a lot of bags and had a silly look on his face.

No wonder there are men's things in the yard. Lingxiang has not been seen for many days. At such a young age, she has hooked up with a man, and a silly fool at that.

"You... who are you? Why did you trespass into someone else's yard?" Long Qi asked.

Trespassing? Interesting, no one had ever said that to her.

"Come to think of it, some of the things in this yard still belong to me. Who are you? How dare you attack the owner?" The woman patted the dirt on her hands, stood up and asked.

What? Why have I never heard Lingxiang talk about this?
Just when Long Qi didn't know how to respond, Lingxiang came in from outside. When she saw the woman, she jumped forward.

"Maidong! You're here today. Long time no see!" He said, pulling the hand of the woman in blue.

"You damn girl, you went out to hang out on your own and left this mess to me, and even picked up a mistress outside. You're really hateful!" Maidong pretended to be angry and shook off Lingxiang's hand.

"Look at what you said. Isn't this a joint venture between you and me? Why should I leave it to you? Besides, I'm going out to do serious business, not to fool around. Look, I've brought you a gift." Lingxiang said, pulling Long Qi to her side, taking out a brocade box from the package and opening it, revealing all kinds of exquisite pastries.

The pastries were intricate in pattern and attractive in color, which Maidong had never seen before.

If she had to say what two things she loved most in her life, one was money and the other was food.

When she was picked up by her master, she was the biggest eater among all the disciples in the room. Even the male disciples did not eat as much as she did. But her master only had her as his only female disciple, and he doted on her like his own daughter. Whenever he came back from his travels, he would always bring her lots of snacks.

Those senior brothers also liked this only little sister, and each of them treated her like their own brother.

There is a reason why Maidong is so popular. He is cute and very sensible. He does not take advantage of the love from his master and fellow brothers for granted, but always considers them.

As for who her master is, it is the Yuanqing sect's elder in charge of punishment, Zhenren Fuyin.

Although this Master Fuyin is in charge of the Xingyuanqing Sect, he is kind and tolerant, and talking to him is always a pleasant experience. "If someone is too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." Maidong took the brocade box and put a small cake into his mouth. It was really delicious. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Hey~ Look at what you said, just based on our relationship, would I be such a cunning person?" Lingxiang said this, but took out the medical recruitment notice that had just been removed from the city gate from her sleeve.

Long Qi rolled his eyes and complained in his heart: It will only get worse.

"The reward is 10,000 taels of silver!" Mai Dong exclaimed, but he didn't read a word of the content above.

If Lingxiang couldn't see Maidong today, she would go find her. The reason was that Maidong's medical skills were all inherited from Fuyin, and she was much better than Lingxiang.

Those who practice this art all know something about medicine. The art of incantation is not entirely a scam, it just has its reputation ruined by some bad people.

Master Fuyin came from a medical family, and before he entered Taoism, his medical skills were already well-known. It was only after he went through some things and saw through the worldly world that he entered Taoism, but he never forgot his identity as a doctor.

Everyone has a past.

……

The guards came to report that two girls were holding medical certificates and were coming to treat the lady. When housekeeper Zhao went out to take a look, he saw two girls squatting beside the stone lions at the door, playing with something.

In his mind, he cursed the guard's family tree: He is really brainless, reporting all kinds of people to him. The city lord's wife is seriously ill and in a coma, and the city lord has no interest in external affairs. He has to take care of all the family affairs. Can't he give these good-for-nothings a break? People like him who are obviously eating and drinking for free under the pretext of treating the lady's illness should be kicked out. Why bother him so much?

"Ahem!" The housekeeper pretended to cough twice, "Are you two doctors here to visit the lady?"

The disdainful tone and the arrogant attitude made Maidong frown.

"You are the city master, right?" Lingxiang stood up and said with a fake smile, "I'm so sorry. We are not doctors, and we troubled you to come out."

When Housekeeper Zhao heard this, he immediately became furious: "If you are not a doctor, why are you here to cause trouble? As a woman, Yunying is unmarried, not only do you dare to show your face in public, but you also dare to come to the City Lord's Mansion to cheat! Come on! Get these two people out of the street!"

The guard at the gate was about to drive them away, but Mai Dong immediately shouted, "Who dares to touch the people of Yuanqing Sect!"

This shout mobilized some of his internal energy, and the sound was so loud that it stunned the butler and the guards.

Yuanqing Sect? The housekeeper suddenly realized.

"Oh my! Didn't we explain it to you just now?" Lingxiang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "This is the last disciple of Master Fuyin, the elder in charge of punishment of the Yuanqing Sect, and I am the shopkeeper of Youranju."

When Butler Zhao heard this, he was so shocked that his eyes turned as big as bells.

The city lord had personally gone to the Yuanqing Sect to pay a visit to Master Fuyin, but the mountain gate was not open, so he could not see him. He wanted to go again these days to invite him, but he did not expect that this closed disciple would come to him. And who in Guyang City does not know the name of Youranju? But...

"How do you prove that you are a disciple of Master Fuyin?" The city lord and his wife have a deep affection for each other, so they must not be careless. The two girls in front of them do not seem to be well versed in medicine.

"This cannot be proven, but..." Lingxiang glanced at Maidong, who took out a badge from his waist and threw it over.

"The name of the Yuanqing Sect is not something that everyone can use."

The butler took the badge and stumbled unexpectedly: the badge was as heavy as a stone and as cold as ice.

It’s actually the Yuan and Qing school!
