Chapter 181: Kind Heavenly Master

Qi Xuansu also understood. No wonder Zhang Yuelu burst into laughter. Obviously, she didn't believe this kind of thing at all.

As for the Heavenly Master, it was even more impossible for him to believe it. He could see that Qi Xuansu had not lost his yang essence, and Zhang Yuelu had not lost her yin essence either. So the question was, how could a man make a woman pregnant without losing his yang essence? Did someone else do it for him?

This one was untenable, and the rest were naturally untenable. They were all fabricated. So after a brief investigation, the people of Fengxiantang didn't even talk to Qi Xuansu.

Such a report without real evidence could not do anything to Qi Xuansu, but the rumor had spread, which was a big damage to Qi Xuansu's reputation. Even if Qi Xuansu arrested the woman in the name of false accusation, others would say that the Zhang family used their power to cover her mouth, which would only make things worse. But if he didn't act, it would be like a thorn in his heart, like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Qi Xuansu was angry. He couldn't help thinking that he had miscarried a child. If this woman was in front of him, he would definitely ask her to find the embryo of that child. With the means of the Taoist sect, even if there was a little dust, he could find clues and then recognize her on the spot. If it was not right, he would twist the woman's head off and accompany her unborn dead child.

However, Qi Xuansu certainly couldn't say that, nor could he do that. He had to suppress the anger in his heart, at least not to show any murderous intent, which would ruin the impression of the Heavenly Master on him.

After laughing, Zhang Yuelu also realized the damage to Qi Xuansu's reputation. He couldn't help but restrain his smile and become serious.

This matter would not be exaggerated, nor would it cause any substantial damage to Qi Xuansu, but it would easily cause gossip and make Qi Xuansu uncomfortable.

The incident had already happened, and the consequences had probably already been formed. Now, Qi Xuansu could only do his best to remedy the situation and vent his anger.

However, after the news spread, many people paid attention to it. Using the power of the Taoist sect or taking action personally were not good choices.

Since the power from the Taoist sect was not good, what about the power from the Jianghu?

Zhang Yuelu thought of the power that the Heavenly Master had just given her - the Purple Light Society.

Letting the Purple Light Society come forward should easily solve the matter.

Coincidentally, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu thought of the same thing, but he didn't think of the Purple Light Society, but the Qingping Society.

This is why the major Taoist sects have to have secret societies.

Many times, things that are inconvenient to do can be done by secret societies, such as a series of acts of silencing in the Jiangnan case.

As a member of the Qingping Society, Qi Xuansu considered that the Qingping Society was a natural thing. The Qingping Society was a mixed bag, with both upper-class people like Xie Linyuan and chicken-stealing and dog-stealing people rolling in the Jianghu, both Confucianists and Taoists, and all kinds of people, who could get involved in everything.

Qi Niang is now in charge of the Qingping Society and has appointed herself as a vice president, while the president rarely shows up.

Isn't there a trend that men can't hit women now?

Qi Xuansu didn't show up in person, nor did he take action himself, but asked Qi Niang to solve the matter. As a woman, Qi Niang would not be soft-hearted.

It is said that the power struggle in the Taoist sect is extremely cruel. How cruel it is, these ignorant people must be taught a lesson. Qi Xuansu has a bottom line and some persistence, but honestly following the rules is not within the scope of Qi Xuansu's persistence, otherwise he would not put Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli to death.

Qi Xuansu made up his mind and his mentality gradually calmed down.

After the Heavenly Master sent out the file, he didn't say anything more, but looked at the two young people with interest, as if this was a small test.

The two looked at each other and tacitly didn't express any opinions on the matter. They could discuss what they planned to do slowly without reporting to the Heavenly Master.

The Heavenly Master naturally wouldn't ask about such trivial matters, and turned to talk about family matters: "Yuelu, didn't you say you wanted to show off your cooking skills?"

Qi Xuansu's eyelids jumped.

Qi Xuansu felt that there was no need to discuss how good Zhang Yuelu's cooking skills were. If Zhang Yuelu was allowed to show off his skills, the Heavenly Master was a senior and had a lot of autonomy. Wouldn't he be the one who would be unlucky in the end?

Zhang Yuelu stood up and said, "I did learn a little by myself in my spare time."

The word "self-study" made Qi Xuansu pessimistic. Although he was very moved, because Zhang Yuelu was a person who practiced fasting, she was willing to learn some cooking skills, of course for him, but he didn't want to wrong his mouth.

And in his opinion, when something is full of unknowns, interest is the greatest. Zhang Yuelu is so interested now, which means that cooking is still a relatively unfamiliar field for her, full of unknowns.

The bad chess player is still addicted.

The Heavenly Master was in a good mood today, and said, "We will leave in the evening, and it's still early now, why don't we try Yuelu's cooking?"

This seemed to be said to Qi Xuansu.

Zhang Yuelu also tilted his head and looked at Qi Xuansu with a squint.

What could Qi Xuansu do? He didn't dare to refuse the Heavenly Master's proposal, nor did he dare to spoil Zhang Yuelu's interest, so he had to agree: "That's really great, I also know a little bit of cooking, and I can help."

This was Qi Xuansu's last attempt to make up for and save. Because he deeply understood one thing, if the cooking skills were not good, the food made would be much harder to swallow than cold water and dry food.

The Heavenly Master asked, "I don't have any food here, do I need to prepare it?"

Zhang Yuelu did not comment on Qi Xuansu's proposal, and said, "Maybe you need to buy some."

The Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Then go buy some."

After that, the Heavenly Master waved his sleeves, and the two of them only felt various lights and shadows flashing before their eyes, and then they found themselves in the bustling city of Taiqing City.

Qi Xuansu was shocked. The various guards of Zixiao Palace were simply useless to the Heavenly Master. The immortal is worthy of being an immortal.

The Heavenly Master said, "I haven't been to Yujing for a long time. Do you sell food here?"

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and led the two out of Taiqing City. After walking for a while, they came to a smaller market.

The three of them were all wearing casual clothes, without wearing crowns, but just tied their hair with hairpins. No one could have imagined that this kind-looking white-bearded old man was one of the three deputy masters.

But Qi Xuansu didn't dare to think so. If the Heavenly Master was really a philanthropic person, then Zhang Wuhen would not have been hit by a sword.

Zhang Yuelu looked quite professional at first, but soon she was exposed. How can you buy vegetables without picking and choosing? She also didn't ask the price. Qi Xuansu had some experience in the lower class life, so she had to help Zhang Yuelu to choose and replace the not-so-good ones with the ones that looked good.

The Heavenly Master was watching from behind and joked, "It is said that men are responsible for the outside and women are responsible for the inside. In this aspect, Yuelu is not as good as Xuansu."

Zhang Yuelu was a little embarrassed: "This is my first time. I used to use ready-made ingredients."

Zhang Yuelu didn't say this nonsense. There were Taoists taking care of her daily life in her home in Yujing. If she really wanted to practice cooking, it was the Taoists who helped her buy the vegetables.

Qi Xuansu said, "It has nothing to do with men and women. It's mainly a matter of level. Qingxiao didn't touch the water in the past, so he naturally didn't understand these things."

Zhang Yuelu seriously reflected on it and said, "This is the truth. I am a little ignorant of the sufferings of the world."

The Heavenly Master naturally understood these simple truths and did not comment.

As the two talked and picked, Qi Xuansu taught Zhang Yuelu to distinguish between good and bad. The two got closer and closer, and Qi Xuansu told some jokes from time to time, making Zhang Yuelu laugh. It felt like they were rubbing their ears and cheeks together, and they had already forgotten the Heavenly Master.

It was not until the Heavenly Master coughed lightly that the two woke up, hurriedly picked the ingredients, and then paid, which was a bit embarrassing.

Qi Xuansu even remembered that the Heavenly Master had never married in his life, and he couldn't imagine what the Heavenly Master felt just now.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Master didn't say anything, but just gently asked Zhang Yuelu if she had finished buying. After getting Zhang Yuelu's affirmative answer, the Heavenly Master waved his sleeves again and took the two back to the Biyou Palace.

Although the Zixiao Palace did not activate the defensive formation, the Heavenly Master's method still shocked Qi Xuansu.

Zhang Yuelu started cooking with the ingredients, and declined Qi Xuansu's suggestion to help. The Heavenly Master had been away from the kitchen all his life and could not help. The old man and the young man could not sit there idly, so the Heavenly Master took out the chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces and asked, "Do you know how to play chess?"

Qi Xuansu said truthfully, "I have learned a little bit, but I dare not say I can play."

The Heavenly Master did not force him, and asked again, "Then what do you usually use to pass the time?"

Qi Xuansu said carefully, "Xuansheng cards."

The Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Some people always like to talk about playing big chess, but they don't understand one thing. When playing chess, the rules will not change, and the chess pieces of both sides are the same. But the reality is that the rules will keep changing, and the chess pieces will also change. Not equal. If you and I were playing chess in reality, if it was chess, you would only have one old general, but I would have dozens of pieces. If it was Go, I would force you to give me dozens of pieces, and occupy all the corners, which would not be equal at all. "

Qi Xuansu said seriously: "Thank you for the teachings of the Heavenly Master."

"I just felt it." The Heavenly Master smiled, put away the chessboard, and took out a set of Xuansheng cards, "Then play a few Xuansheng cards."

Seeing Qi Xuansu's shocked face, the Heavenly Master smiled and explained: "I was young too."

Qi Xuansu took out his Xuansheng cards and played Xuansheng cards with the Heavenly Master.

Qi Xuansu did not dare to expect to win, he just wanted to leave a good impression on the Heavenly Master, but the result was not very good, not to mention changing the face of the Heavenly Master, it was all delusion, after all, he was not even the opponent of Qi Niang, how could he win the Heavenly Master, and lost seven games in a row without suspense. From beginning to end, the Heavenly Master did not even move his eyebrows.

It was at this time that Zhang Yuelu finally completed his craft.
