Long Road to Stardom

"I'm not sure about that. You know that the technique I practice is very sensitive to prying eyes. So I always felt like someone was following us all the way. I don't know what their purpose is."

"Senior Brother Yun, let's leave here first, and then use your unique magic 'Spirit Recognition Technique' to confirm this matter." Wang Manrou knew the seriousness of the matter and said in a voice transmission.

When Yunxi heard the message from her junior sister, she nodded immediately and asked Senior Brother Zhou and several other junior brothers to leave.

Lin Xing had already retracted his spiritual sense when they became suspicious, and now he didn't dare to follow them for fear of being discovered.

Anyway, she has left marks on everyone, so as long as the distance is not too far, she can sense the approximate location.

Unexpectedly, this female cultivator looked delicate and timid, but was not at all flustered when faced with serious matters, which made her look at her differently.

This incident also made her realize that the methods used by monks are really endless. Even monks who are much lower in status than her should not be underestimated. Nor can one judge a monk's true situation based solely on his behavior and appearance. As the saying goes, one cannot judge a book by its cover.

As Lin Xing was thinking, he walked to a teahouse unknowingly. He thought that since he had nothing to do at the moment, it would be nice to have a cup of tea and listen to the stories told by the storyteller to relieve his fatigue.

As soon as I entered the teahouse, the waiter came up to me and said, "Miss, what would you like to drink?"

"We have Biluochun, Pu'er, Longjing, Tieguanyin, and a special tea called 'Songwu' in our store. Which one would you like, young lady?"

Lin Xing didn't want to put himself in a difficult position so he said directly to the waiter, "Give me a pot of each, and also, bring me a few plates of cakes." After that, he walked to the second floor and found a seat by the window and sat down.

When the waiter heard this, he knew he was right. This was indeed an important customer. Although this lady looked ordinary, she had a temperament that he had never seen in anyone else.

And the clothes he was wearing. The style of the clothes looked ordinary, but he had never seen better fabric.

After greeting the guests, he immediately went downstairs to prepare what the guests ordered.

Not long after Lin Xing sat down, he saw two waiters walking up from downstairs.

Soon they came to her table, placed the food she ordered one by one, put away the tray, bowed to her and said in unison, "Miss, please enjoy your meal."

The two waiters left after saying this and went downstairs.

Seeing the waiter leave, she picked up one of the teapots, poured herself a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly.

As soon as she put it in her mouth, she spat it out.

"As expected, after drinking tea brewed with spiritual spring water, drinking earthly tea is really unpalatable."

Lin Xing put down the teacup, picked up a piece of cake beside him and started eating.

As soon as she took a bite, she fell in love with this plate of pastries. She finished the pastries in her hand in no time and tried the other pastries. She felt they were all good.

While listening to the stories told by the storyteller downstairs and eating cakes, she had finished all the cakes on the table without realizing it, completely forgetting the rule that monks should eat less ordinary food.

After finishing all the cakes and pastries on the table, Lin Xing suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth and drank a cup of tea reluctantly to moisten his throat.

Although I really wanted to eat some more, I finally held back and listened to the storyteller downstairs telling the last part of the story.

After the storyteller finished speaking, Lin Xing stood up and prepared to leave. She found that the marks she left on the group of people had been cleared away to only two, and the remaining marks were also moving, gradually moving away from her current position.

After the storyteller left, other diners in the teahouse started chatting one after another.

Lin Xing had no interest in these words. Just as she was about to go downstairs, she heard a voice related to her, which made her stop.

"Hey, have you heard that there is a village a hundred miles away from 'Jingyang City'? It is said that there is an immortal living there, and the immortal seems to have given them many things."

"I've heard about that, too. It's said that the fairy is a female fairy, as beautiful as a flower, stunningly beautiful."

"Yes, yes, yes... I have heard this in many places, and I have also noticed that many big shots in the city have recently prepared many things and are heading there, and many noblemen are also heading there."

"You know what, if someone is really favored by an immortal, he or she will soar to the sky."

……

The crowd became more and more excited, and the content of their discussions became more and more outrageous. Suddenly, a sound rang out throughout the teahouse, "Bang..."

Everyone looked over and saw a weak scholar looking at them with an angry face, and a broken teapot not far from his feet.

Soon someone responded and took the lead and said, "Oh, who is this? Isn't this Mr. Sun who won the first place in the college entrance examination?"

"Why didn't you go to set up a stall and write letters to people to earn money for your stay at the academy today? Why did you have some spare money to come here for tea? Could it be that your mother has started her old job again?"

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.

When Sun Xiuyuan heard this, his face turned pale, but he still withstood their teasing gazes and said seriously, "Have you forgotten so quickly that it was the immortal who saved the entire 'Jingyang City'? It's only been a short time and you're already making up stories behind the scenes. Aren't you afraid that the immortal will find out?"

Wu Yu, who had always disliked Sun Xiuyuan, said, "How do you know that the immortal we are talking about is the goddess who saved us? Have you seen her?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiuyuan argued, "I...I haven't seen it, but even if it's not him, you guys can't make up stories about immortals. If he hears what you said, aren't you afraid that the immortals will blame you?"

Wu Yu chuckled, played with the teacup in his hand, took a sip and said, "We have been talking for so long. If the immortal knew, he would have appeared long ago and would not let us talk here."

"Besides, these are all from other places. Even if the immortal knows, I don't think he will blame us."

"It's a rare opportunity for you to come to a teahouse and spend money, so you should cherish it. After all, your mother doesn't earn money easily, so don't waste it."

After saying this, he put down the teacup, threw down a tael of silver, stood up, walked to Sun Xiuyuan, patted his face, and turned to leave the teahouse.

Sun Xiuyuan's face flushed and he was speechless for a moment, but he didn't say anything else. He just watched him leave the teahouse quietly.

Seeing that there was nothing to watch, some people who had finished eating left the teahouse one after another.

The people who stayed in the teahouse still glanced at Sun Xiuyuan from time to time, but they no longer talked about immortals.

Sun Xiuyuan felt a little embarrassed, but he still couldn't bear to part with the things he had ordered with his own money. Although the teapot had been broken by him, there was still a plate of pastries that had not been touched. He felt that it could not be wasted, so he sat down silently and started to eat the pastries.

"He has the courage to stay after being humiliated like this. He's really patient." Lin Xing couldn't help but sigh inwardly after watching the show upstairs.
