The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 79 Marriage-in-law
Going around the town, the three of them walked forward.

Pei Ning is on the right, Lin Bai is in the middle, and the man surnamed Wang is on the left.

While he was eating the candy balls, he couldn't stop his mouth and kept chattering.

But after all he said, he didn't say anything useful. He just said that Qiaoshan was the best.

Lin Bai asked him what special products of Qiaoshan were, how the monks made a living, and which family had the greatest power. However, the man surnamed Wang could not give a single answer and only talked about some talismans and pills. It was obvious that he had no idea what was going on.

This person is a fool, he is not clear-headed, and he is arrogant and ignorant. Lin Bai and Pei Ning immediately made a judgment.

Pei Ning winked at Lin Bai, indicating that he should get rid of this person as soon as possible.

Lin Bai thought so too. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a middle-aged monk coming towards him.

The monk was dressed neatly, looked a little plump, had a kind face, and looked quite honest. He came forward, bowed, and said with a smile, "Greetings, fellow Taoists."

Lin Bai and Pei Ning returned the greeting, and the man surnamed Wang also hurriedly returned the greeting.

"My name is Zhu Yumao, and I am a disciple of the Zhu family." The middle-aged man looked like he was welcoming guests in a secular temple. He pointed to the high pavilion in front of the manor and said kindly, "Since the three Taoist friends are here, why don't you go up to the pavilion to serve tea and take a rest? Let me show my hospitality as a host."

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were brought up in fear, so they became defensive when they heard this.

Pei Ning took a step back, and Lin Bai protected her.

However, Lin Bai did not notice anything wrong. There was indeed a high pavilion a hundred feet ahead, with a boy's figure on it, but there was no murderous aura.

There was only a manor in the surroundings, with flowers and trees vaguely visible outside the wall.

Moreover, when Lin Bai was dying on Golden Turtle Island, he gained the magical power to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. If there was good or bad fortune, he would feel it in his heart.

Of course, it's not necessarily accurate. His realm is too low, so he is easily influenced. Lin Bai also knows this, so he doesn't rely on it in everything.

But based on what he saw and heard, Zhu Yumao was sincere in his words and didn't seem like a bad person. If he wanted to ambush him, he wouldn't be so stupid as to come forward.

While Lin Bai was still thinking about it, the man surnamed Wang immediately agreed.

I don't know if he was too confident and had no sense of guard against others, or if he firmly believed that everyone in Qiaoshan was a good person, or if he was choking on the sugar balls and urgently needed a cup of tea.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other, nodded, and said sorry for disturbing you.

The two of them also wanted to find a local to chat with, but the man surnamed Wang really didn't know anything.

Zhu Yumao was very happy, a smile appeared on his honest face, and he led the way politely.

Entering the manor, I saw flowers, white cranes and flowing water.

Zhu Yumao did not ask much about the origins and whereabouts of Lin Bai and others, but just talked about his own origins in a very humble manner.

It turns out that he was from the Zhu family, a family of immortal practitioners.

Their family was on Fengming Mountain ahead. The town the three had just passed by belonged to the Zhu family, and most of the ordinary people had the surname Zhu.

Zhu Yumao was the guest master of the Zhu family, and this manor was built to welcome guests. Whenever a monk passed by, he would invite him to have tea and rest, and make a good relationship with him.

"This is why I am rude to block your way. Please forgive me, my three Taoist friends." Zhu Yumao said this very sincerely. His face looked honest and amiable, and his slightly fat appearance made him seem harmless, making people feel close to him.

Lin Bai felt that the Zhu family obviously had the ability to judge people by appointing him as the receptionist.

But there will definitely be more to come, so just wait and see.

Climb up to the attic and look far into the distance.

The host and the guest sat down, and the boy served them fragrant tea.

"I haven't asked the three Taoist friends yet what your names are?" Zhu Shimao asked with a smile.

"My surname is Wang!" The man surnamed Wang was just drinking tea.

"My name is Yun Zhonghe, this is clumsy..."

Lin Bai pointed at Pei Ning, but before he could finish introducing himself, he was interrupted by Pei Ning. She said calmly, "My last name is Pei, and I'm his aunt."

Ever since Pei Ning knew the name "Sister Zhen", she didn't allow Lin Bai to call her Sister Ning anymore. She was used to being sarcastic, saying how dare she be on the same level as Jin Dan? She was not qualified to be a sister, so she asked Lin Bai to call her aunt.

The reason was simple. It was based on the secular generation. She said that Lin Bai and Xiuxiu were of the same generation, and she was Xiuxiu's uncle, so she was one generation higher than Lin Bai, so naturally she should be called aunt.

Naturally, Lin Bai had never called her aunt before. He just planned to call her aunt when they slept together one day and see how she would react then.

"Friend Yun, Friend Pei, Wang..." Zhu Yumao saw that the man surnamed Wang had finished his tea, so he waved his hand and asked the boy to continue, "This is a specialty of my Zhu family's Fengming Mountain. It is extremely sweet. Please."

After saying this, he drank slowly.

This tea is slightly green, has a light aroma, and contains spiritual energy.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other, took a sip each, and then they felt relaxed and all their fatigue was gone.

After drinking a sip of tea, Zhu Yumao asked Lin Bai and the other two where they came from.

The man surnamed Wang said that they came from the sea, and Lin Bai and Pei Ning also said so.

Qiaoshan is next to the sea. In addition to the two large islands of Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect, there are many small islands on the sea.

Zhu Yumao did not ask too many questions, and just briefly asked whether the journey was difficult and whether there were any thieves or robbers.

After chatting for a while, everyone's guard gradually subsided and they became more active.

Zhu Yumao finally got down to business and asked the three people what their specialties were.

So you want to recruit people! But you found the wrong person, right? What can three little Qigong practitioners who come to Qiaoshan to hang out do? Lin Bai looked at Pei Ning.

Pei Ning glanced at Lin Bai, then lowered his head with a slight smile on his face.

Lin Bai knew what she meant. She clearly wanted to say that she had the unique skill of spinning the wheel!

After glaring at Pei Ning, Lin Bai bowed slightly to Zhu Yumao and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, we really don't have any special skills. We are sorry to make you laugh."

"That's fine." Zhu Yumao was very serious. "If you have talent elsewhere, that's fine too. Whether it's planting, alchemy, refining, or making talismans, you can learn it slowly."

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other and thought to themselves, how short-lived is your family?

You know, things like alchemy and talisman making are extremely time-consuming to cultivate. That's why casual cultivators usually don't learn it, and only sects or families have the foundation to cultivate it.

The other party said that he could teach, even if it was a very simple introduction, there must be another price.

Just as he was about to ask about the price, the man surnamed Wang suddenly smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, may I ask what realm your ancestor is at?"

Zhu Yumao was a little embarrassed and said, "My family's Jindan ancestor passed away a few years ago. Now my uncle is in charge of the family. He is in the late stage of foundation building. However, my uncle has made great progress in cultivation and is in sight of achieving the Jindan."

Lin Bai roughly understood that the Zhu family had lost their golden elixir, and their family strength had greatly decreased, so they wanted to seek some external help. But what had you done before? Didn't you train them a little more?
"I thought your family was so rich! Turns out it's just a foundation-building family!" The man surnamed Wang stood up and clasped his fists. "There are so many opportunities in Qiaoshan and we have a bright future. How can we linger here? See you!" After saying that, he went straight down the attic and walked out.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were dumbfounded, unable to understand why Wang, who was only in the early stage of Qi training, looked down on others who were in the late stage of foundation building? Moreover, the latter had the background of a golden elixir family.

But it’s not too outrageous. Lin Bai had talked with the man named Wang before and knew that he was unreliable and confused.

"Please have some tea." Zhu Yumao was a little embarrassed and couldn't keep a straight face.

Lin Bai was a polite man, so he said some useless gossip to help Zhu Yumao out of the predicament.

After three drinks, Lin Bai asked again: "Brother Zhu, I wonder what the rules are for me to study martial arts in your house?"

To be honest, Lin Bai was somewhat tempted. If he could learn something, he would be happy even without any pay.

"This is easy," Zhu Yumao smiled immediately and said warmly, "As long as you study for three years, if you have made some progress and have a good character, then..."

"I have the most upright character! People in the surrounding villages praise me!" Lin Bai said immediately.

"Then marry into my Zhu family, and we'll be a family!" Zhu Yumao laughed heartily.

Pei Ning spat out a mouthful of tea and looked at Lin Bai with a smile.
