Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

Fengyinju is even more lively during this year's Spring Festival.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qinglian's four disciples arrived at Fengyinju early.

After handing over the gifts, saying auspicious words, receiving the red envelopes, and wishing each other a happy new year in the front hall, the four of them stepped into the spirit gathering formation, and their eight eyes immediately widened.

What kind of divine residence is this!

The spiritual energy is as thick as water and as pure as a mountain spring. It is simply a paradise on earth.

No wonder Master wanted to move here.

No wonder the master allowed me to come here one day every month.

What kind of person can live here every day!

How pleasant that would be!

From then on, Chu Wen’s identity became even more mysterious in the eyes of these four nephews.

Qinglian did not tell them anything and let them guess.

……

After the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival is just around the corner.

The Lantern Festival in Buffalo this year is particularly lively, with thousands of doors and windows open and tens of thousands of colorful lights on, making the entire Buffalo as bright as day.

Nowadays, every household has extra money, all the hostility has disappeared, and everyone has a relaxed and happy look on their face.

Huayan, Qiaoyu, Ziyan and Xiuer love shopping and they would insist on going out right after dinner.

Chu Wen held Xiu'er in his left hand and Qinglian in his right hand, and walked happily onto the street with a group of young girls.

On the streets, the lanterns are as bright as day, the flow of people is endless, all kinds of stalls are dazzling, and the sounds of hawking can be heard one after another.

In front of the barbecue stall, the charcoal fire was jumping, and the lamb skewers and pork jerky were sizzling.

The sugar painting artist's skillful technique attracted many children to gather around him.

Not far away, in front of a teahouse, a storyteller was holding a clapboard and speaking eloquently as he told the legendary story of Chu Qingtian beating the immortal with his hand.

The audience laughed and cheered loudly at times.

Occasionally, a team of patrolling yamen runners walked by in a column, adding a bit of tranquility to the noisy night.

Under the lanterns, young men and women were either whispering and laughing, or walking side by side.

The lights, voices, laughter, and delicious food together weave a vivid and lively scene.

Chu Wen let go of Xiu'er and let Zi Yan run with her.

Xier, Xianglan and Suyun did not dare to relax for a moment and followed them hurriedly.

Wherever Chu Wen went, people bowed and greeted him, and he always responded cheerfully.

"Sister, is this world lively?" Chu Wen turned around and asked.

Qinglian was strolling in the streets of mortals for the first time and was shocked by the bustling scene. He nodded and said:

“It’s really lively.”

Chu Wen looked at the noisy crowd, feeling deeply moved, and said quietly:

“Mayflies live in the morning and die in the evening, but they also decorate the world with their gorgeous wings. Living in the present and being brilliant for a while is not a wasted trip to the world.”

Qinglian was thoughtful after hearing this.

After having dinner at home, Bihe took Xiaochan and hurried to the street to look for Chu Wen.

Chu Wen saw Bihe standing under the flower lantern and looking out from afar. A poem came to his mind and he began to recite:

“The east wind blooms flowers on thousands of trees at night, and blows them down like stars like rain.”

"The road is filled with the fragrance of carved BMWs, the sound of phoenix flutes, the light of jade pots, and the dance of fish and dragons all night long."

"The moth is like a golden thread of snow willow, and leaves with a smile and a faint fragrance."

"The crowd searched for her thousands of times, but suddenly I looked back, and there she was, in a dimly lit place."

After hearing this, Qinglian held Chu Wen's arm tightly and rested her head firmly on Chu Wen's shoulder.

"Brother, you found me."

"..."

……

The news that Chu Wen distributed silver to the people of Buffalo City reached Pinghu after the Lantern Festival.

After receiving the news, Zhao Dezhu couldn't believe it and wrote a letter overnight to call his daughter back to ask about it.

When he learned from his daughter that the two major sects had honestly paid the compensation, Zhao Dezhu, who had always been steady and calm, and who believed in not changing his expression even when faced with a mountain collapse or a tsunami, was stunned.

"How can it be!"

"It's true, Daddy. Big Brother Chu even recognized Qinglian from the Qingtian Sect as his sister."

"Master Qinglian!?"

Zhao Dezhu suddenly stood up and stared at Zi Yan with wide eyes.

"What master? It's Qinglian."

"She, she, Chu Wen recognized her as his sister?"

"Yes, Sister Qinglian has moved to Fengyinju."

"What did you call her?"

"Sister, I originally wanted to call her sister, but Brother Chu said that she looks young, but she is actually older than me."

"Hello sister, hello sister, have you asked her for some medicine or something to take?"

"Yes, Sister Qinglian was very generous and gave me a lot of delicious food."

"Let me see if there's any leftovers."

"Yes, it's kept at Xi'er's place. Sister Qinglian said that I can only eat it once every ten days or half a month, and I can't eat too much at one time."

"Xi'er! Bring the young lady's snacks here for me to see."

"Yes, sir."

Xier said this and went out of the main room and brought back a package.

When Zhao Dezhu opened it, he saw three bottles of elixirs, four spiritual fruits, and some preserved fruits and melon seeds, all piled together.

He picked up a bottle of medicine and as soon as he opened the cork, a strange fragrance immediately filled the room.

"Zi Yan, Daddy left these foods for me. Go back and ask Sister Qing Lian for them."

"Daddy, you stole my snacks!"

"Daddy will buy it from you, okay? Name your price, how much silver?"

"No, I have plenty of money."

"Ah? Where did you get the money?"

"Brother Chu gave it to me. My room is full of space. It's so cluttered that it's inconvenient to walk."

"Ah~~ Zi Yan, Daddy has been craving for food lately. Can you bring back more snacks next time?"

"Shame on you, Daddy. You're still eating snacks at this age."

"Daddy doesn't like to eat other people's food, he only likes to eat Fengyinju's food."

"Oh, okay."

……

Beijing.

Although Shangguan Qingyun was in seclusion, if there was any major event in the court, the ministers could still report it.

royal palace.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Du Fengzhu and Zhao Yunting stood respectfully in front of the dragon throne. Du Fengzhu bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, the Magistrate of Shuiniu County is simply lawless. He sent out yamen runners to smash and destroy people's homes at will, and then borrowed the name of the court to extort more than two million taels of gold and silver from Guiyuan Sect and Qingtian Sect... If this trend is encouraged, it will surely lead to imitations. By then, the world will be in chaos, which will definitely damage the majesty of the court. Please order a strict investigation to serve as a warning to others."

After Du Fengzhu finished speaking, Zhao Yunting stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, this is a private fight between two sect monks that destroyed civilian houses. County Magistrate Chu ordered compensation according to the law, and all the silver was distributed to the people. Not only was there nothing wrong, but it was meritorious. Please, Your Majesty, issue an edict to commend them."

Shangguan Qingyun was very curious when he heard this. He wondered what means Chu Wen used to get gold and silver from the immortal cultivation sect.

"Your Majesty, Chu Wen has corrupt personal ethics, is greedy and lustful, and even brings a maid with him when he goes to court..."

"Mr. Chu has a chronic illness and is governing the area. How can Minister Du be sure that the maid is not handing over medicine for the sake of handing over the handrail..."

"Your Majesty, Chu Wen beat someone in court with his own hands. He was very agile, so how could he be sick? Minister Zhao's granddaughter lives in Chu Wen's house and has an affair with Chu Wen, so she is protecting him. Please investigate clearly, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, my granddaughter is indeed living in the residence of the Magistrate of Chu County. It is only because Chu Wen is a man of high character that I let my granddaughter worship him as her teacher. There is nothing dirty about it. Please investigate it carefully."

Shangguan Qingyun became more curious about Chu Wen after hearing this. He decided to meet him after he came out of seclusion and see with his own eyes what kind of person he was.

How could these little things offset the kindness Chu Wen showed him in helping him break through?

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shangguan Qingyun's voice sounded faintly:

"It's just a trivial matter, let him be."

"His Majesty......"

"No need to say more."
