Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

"Just drink it. Your master is far away in Jiangming Mountain, and your senior brother isn't here right now. Why don't you try to forget your worries by getting drunk?"

Qinian was actually curious about wine. Perhaps it was the last sentence that stirred Qinian's already unsteady heart. He held the wine jar with his fingers as white as jade and actually took a sip.

The young Taoist priest, who had never drunk alcohol before, started coughing due to the spiciness of the food.

Looking at his cheeks gradually turning red, that blush completely crushed his cool feeling.

Wen Ling patted him on the back.

"Don't be so anxious to drink it the first time."

Qinian nodded at him and took another sip, this time much more elegantly. He had only read in books that men who drank were extremely heroic, and he thought that was how drinking should be done. He hadn't expected to be so embarrassed after taking the first sip.

Perhaps it was the companionship of a few days that broke the distance between the little Taoist priest and her. She now felt that the little Taoist priest's expressions in front of him were much richer.

He glanced at her with obvious embarrassment just now.

The two of them shared a jar of wine. The young Taoist, having had his first drink, had surprisingly been quite good. Wen Ling had originally intended to get him drunk to bridge the gap between them, but now, seeing the wine dwindling, it seemed he could only feign drunkenness.

Qi Nian looked at the girl beside him, shaking the empty wine bottle in her hand. Her face was rosy and her eyes, like peach petals, were filled with misty light.

He was obviously drunk.

"Miss A Ling, let me take you back."

Qi Nian spoke in a young voice, but Wen Ling was dissatisfied with the title.

"Girl, girl, girl, can't you just remove these two words?"

She grabbed Qinian's arms with both hands, leaned towards him and looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Qinian was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Little Taoist priest, you are too distant. Although we have known each other for a short time, we have experienced a lot. I saved you and you saved me. We even drank and talked like we are doing now. Why are you still so distant?"

The sound it made was like wine brewed from peach blossoms, with an intoxicating sweetness.

Wen Ling's half body was basically leaning on Qinian's, their eyes meeting.

Qi Nian's eyes trembled slightly, and he lightly put his arm around Wen Ling's shoulders and led her down from the roof.

Wen Ling refused to obey his gentlemanly attitude and leaned on him as if she couldn't stand steadily.

Qi Nian reached out and tried to straighten her body.

"Don't move. I'm dizzy."

The coquettish and charming voice made Qi Nian completely at a loss. Wen Ling gave him a dazed look, then hooked her arms around his neck and rubbed it against his neck as if she was drunk.

Qi Nian froze, pursed his lips, and finally picked the person up and carried her back to her room.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, I couldn't help but think of the conversation we just had on the roof.

This was the first time someone thought he did nothing wrong. He would never forget the shocked and disappointed look his master gave him at the execution ground at Jiangming Mountain.

If he wasn't the natural Taoist as predicted by his master, and didn't carry such a heavy responsibility, perhaps there would be no need for him to be so serious with himself.

But wrong is wrong, and the responsibility he shoulders does not allow him to be biased in the slightest.

Looking at the boundless night outside the window, perhaps this trip back to Jiangming Mountain will only bring disappointment to my master.

It wasn't until the door closed again that Wen Ling opened her eyes.

She thought he must be extremely helpless.

Yu Heng and his fellow apprentice brother Qinian have traveled most of the way since they came down the mountain. After Yuancheng, the next place is Mengli City.

As the four entered Yuancheng, they sensed powerful demonic fluctuations.

"It seems we will have to stay in this Origin City for a while longer."

Yuancheng is just a remote little town. It’s not very big and it’s very easy to find anywhere.

Although Yuancheng is not a big place, the Mingshan Temple built in it is very famous.

The four of them happened to arrive on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, when the temple was hosting pilgrims.

"I just asked around. This Mingshan Temple is very famous in Yuancheng. They say that as long as you burn incense and worship Buddha there and then drink a bowl of the temple's unique Huizhen water, all your wishes will come true. It's very effective."

Fu Xiao leaned against the pillar of the tea stall and shared the information she had obtained with them.

Wen Ling was dressed in a white tight-sleeved men's suit, with her hair tied up high and a jade branch waving gracefully in her hand. She attracted a lot of attention since she entered Yuancheng.

Listening to Fu Xiao's information, Wen Ling lazily put his arm on Qinian's shoulder, holding a jade fan in his other hand.

As they were together, Wen Ling would always make some unintentional physical contact, intentionally or unintentionally. Over time, it became natural, and the simple little Taoist priest could not notice anything. On the contrary, he would sometimes cooperate subconsciously.

Just like now, the little Taoist priest would lean towards her to make her feel more comfortable.

Fu Xiao looked at this scene with a bit of eagerness, and found her way to sit next to Yu Heng, but she didn't dare to put her arm around his shoulder.

Yu Heng paused in his tea drinking, glanced at the two of them, and then said, "Then we must go and take a look at such an efficacious temple."

"Oh my goodness, with so many people here, how much money does this temple make from incense offerings every day? The monks at Mingshan Temple must be very rich."

"Hey, little girl, don't talk nonsense. Compared to the blessing of the God of Wish, our incense money is nothing."

As they spoke, the four of them watched the old lady take out a silver ingot and give it out as incense money. The two monks next to her were not very old, and they looked at the silver with smiles on their faces.

The look of him being blinded by money doesn't seem like that of a monk who has transcended the mundane world and is free from all desires.

Yu Heng frowned, "There's no demonic energy in these two people. They're not demons."

"Also, the powerful demonic energy we sensed when we first entered the city is gone."

Qinian clenched the Taichu in his hand.

"Go to the main hall and take a look."

The four of them looked at each other in confusion as they had never seen the 'statue' enshrined in the main hall.

Wen Ling and Fu Xiao stared at the "statue" and looked at each other.

The 'god statue' was a woman, dressed in a dignified manner, with her sleeves fluttering on both sides, making her look a little ethereal. However, the woman's expression did not look like that of a god who saved all living beings.

Wen Ling and Fu Xiao have seen this kind of expression many times among the demon clan. No matter how hard people try to pretend, they can't be like the gods if they don't understand their hearts.

"Let's go check out the back."

The pilgrims who had burned incense and prayed in front came to the backyard, and the two monks were still distributing Huizhen water to the pilgrims in the long queue.

"One bowl per person, don't crowd. Be sincere and your heart will work. When you drink this bowl of Huizhen water, your heart must be sincere."

The two monks pretended to be highly educated monks. Wen Ling raised an eyebrow and joined the queue.

The aunties and uncles in front were chattering.

"Drink this bowl of Huizhen water, and your wish will surely come true."

"Yes, not long ago, Sister Liu's husband fell seriously ill and was bedridden. Sister Liu consulted many famous doctors but to no avail. Later, she came to Mingshan Temple to pray to the God of Wish-Relieving. After drinking a bowl of Huizhen Water, her husband was able to get out of bed soon."

"And the Li family. They had a stupid son who couldn't find a wife, so he came to Mingshan Temple. Now he's married to a beautiful and virtuous woman who's very capable in managing the household. Now the Li couple are happy every day."
