The passers-by are vicious

After saying that, County Magistrate Jiang Xing'an immediately ordered people to prepare the room, but was hurriedly stopped by Duanmu Rong.

"No need, we can just stay in the inn." Duanmu Rong looked strange and refused.

“This…” County Magistrate Jiang Xing’an hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but look at Xuan Du, who was obviously the leader.

"Thank you, County Magistrate. We will stay in your mansion so that you can protect its safety." Xuan Du immediately bowed, his voice as cold as dust.

County Magistrate Jiang Xing'an breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand with joy and said, "That's great, very good."

He immediately asked someone to arrange rooms for the Taoist priests.

“Senior Brother…” Duanmu Rong seemed to want to say something, but Xuandu raised his hand to stop her.

"It's more convenient to live in the county magistrate's mansion."

County Magistrate Jiang Xing'an smiled and stroked his beard. "I'm sure you Taoist priests haven't had your meal yet. Why don't you have your meal first and rest for a while before talking again?"

Several Shushan disciples looked at each other and became interested. They were eager to explore the town and had not yet had breakfast. Now it was already noon, and they all turned their eyes to Xuandu.

Xuandu understood and immediately bowed to the county magistrate Jiang Xing'an: "Then I'll have to trouble County Magistrate Jiang."

The county magistrate Jiang Xing'an immediately ordered people to prepare all vegetarian dishes for lunch, and personally accompanied them for lunch.

Then he ordered Xuan Du and others to go to their respective rooms under the guidance of the servants in the mansion.

After a short rest, Xuandu decided to go to the county magistrate Jiang Xing'an to check the files and take the opportunity to explore the county magistrate's mansion.

Since the county magistrate Jiang Xing'an had given instructions in advance, Xuandu and others could move freely in the county magistrate's mansion.

When Xuan Du arrived at the backyard, he found that the landscape here was quiet and elegant, and there was a pavilion in the clear lake.

Just at this moment, the originally blue sky began to drizzle, so Xuandu decided to take shelter from the rain in the pavilion.

When Xuan Du landed on the pavilion, he found that there was already a figure there.

She was dressed in green and slim, with her black hair fluttering in the breeze, her skirt lifted slightly, and the scent of orchids spread throughout the pavilion.

Quiet as an orchid, ethereal as a fairy.

The maid following the green-clothed figure seemed to have spotted Xuan Du. She was stunned for a moment, then turned back and said to the green-clothed woman, "Miss, a Taoist priest has arrived."

After hearing this, the woman in green turned around immediately. As she turned around, the green veil was blown by the breeze, and the hem of her clothes fluttered in the wind, revealing her gentle and soft face.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were like a lake of clear water. When she looked at him, Xuandu felt his heart turbulent.

A white brocade belt bound her slim waist, and her black hair was tied into a hanging bun, with only a white jade hairpin adorning it. Although simple, it looked fresh and elegant.

After coming back to his senses, Xuandu bowed and said in a cold voice: "I am Xuandu, a disciple of Shushan."

"So you are the Taoist priest from Shushan. I am honored to meet you." Her voice was clear, pleasant and gentle.

He stood there tall and straight, his hair was as black as ink, his robe was whiter than snow, his aura was as light as dust, and he was so clean that he seemed not to be stained by a speck of dust.

For a moment, it seemed as if there were only two people looking at each other in the entire pavilion, as if they were in different worlds.

"Big Brother——"

It was not until Duanmu Rong's panicked shouting that Xuandu was awakened.

He suddenly turned his gaze away from Jiang Wanwan, and his heart, which was always as cold as dust, seemed to be shaking.

Duan Murong, who was standing behind him, had obviously run over in the rain. She asked with a forced smile, "Brother, why are you here?"

Xuan Du just nodded, coldly and indifferently: "Junior sister." He did not explain to her why he was standing here.

But in Duanmu Rong's eyes, she still failed to stop it. In panic, she looked at Jiang Wanwan's gentle face with resentment.

Jiang Wanwan was also frightened by the hatred in her eyes that seemed to be filled with blood. She took a step back involuntarily, bumped into the railing, and almost fell into the lake.

"Excuse me." Fortunately, Xuandu flashed forward and gently hugged Jiang Wanwan's waist, his white Taoist robe fluttering. After holding her steady, he immediately retreated to his original position.

After Jiang Wanwan's heartbeat calmed down, she said softly, "Thank you, Taoist Priest."

Xuan Du lowered his eyes and bowed: "No need to thank me."

Her cold figure was still straight, but the pair of hands that had touched her slender waist couldn't help but bend, and it seemed that there was still the fragrance of orchids on them.

"You are a Taoist nun, you have no grudge against me, why are you looking at my young lady like this?"

Before Jiang Wanwan could say anything, her personal maid Bixia glared at Duanmu Rong with a displeased look on her face.

"You are just a mortal, don't even think about trying to get close to my senior brother. It's simply wishful thinking to think you can get close to someone higher up by relying on your beauty."

These were the words of rebuke that Duanmu Rong uttered in anger in her previous life. However, her words at that time instead caused Xuandu to feel pity for Jiang Wanwan and he fell in love with her.

If it happened again, Duanmu Rong would certainly not say such words again.

After she calmed down, she looked apologetic and spoke sincerely, "Miss Jiang, I'm really sorry. Although my brother is a cultivator, he is still a man after all. I was just worried that it would affect your reputation, so I was a little anxious."

"After all, after getting rid of the demon, we still have to leave Jiayang Town to continue our training. I'm just worried that the young lady will be criticized."

Xuandu looked at Duanmu Rong with some surprise, wondering when his junior sister had become so eloquent.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that our county magistrate's office is trying to curry favor with us?"

Duanmu Rong's words seemed sincere, but Bixia could hear her arrogance in them.

She had followed the young lady since she was young and vowed to protect the weak young lady, which made her even more angry. She would never let this scheming Taoist nun bully them.

"Don't get me wrong, Duanmu Rong didn't mean that." Duanmu Rong looked confused and explained quickly. After she finished speaking, she looked at Xuandu, who had a cold expression, with grievance, as if asking for help.

"Then what do you mean? What do you really mean? Even if you are cultivators, you shouldn't humiliate my county magistrate's office like this."

Bixia put her hands on her hips and kept asking, which further highlighted the weakness of Duanmu Rong who was trying hard to explain.

It looked like some unruly mortal was bullying Duanmu Rong.

Lu Tianyu and his disciples were looking for Xuandu and Duanmu Rong. Naturally, he noticed this scene and immediately stepped forward.

Since he didn't know the specific reason, he could only ask Duanmu Rong, but Duanmu Rong just shook her head with a wronged look and said nothing.

"Little girl, don't be so unruly. Junior Sister is just thinking about you. Don't go too far."

When the Shushan disciple who came with Lu Tianyu saw this, he thought that his junior sister was being bullied and immediately said something dissatisfied.

"I am willing. What does it have to do with you? It is obviously this Taoist nun who is being unreasonable..."

Even though she was surrounded in the pavilion, Bixia was not afraid at all. She hid Jiang Wanwan behind her and took a few steps forward, scaring the Shushan disciples so much that they quickly retreated. After all, there are differences between men and women.

Bixia was not afraid. Instead, she moved forward more aggressively and pushed them off the pavilion.

"All of you leave now. You are not welcome in this pavilion."
