Adoption brings disaster

I was just being kind when I saw the Taoist boy being scolded, but by chance I got a Four Sacred Fruit. For a moment I didn’t know whether I should be happy about my good luck or whether I should suspect that someone had deliberately designed it.

But for me now, it doesn’t really matter, because for some reason, the aftereffects this time are much more severe than last time.

I had diarrhea from morning to afternoon. It would have been fine if it was just diarrhea, but I don't know if the four sacred fruits were cleansing my marrow or if they were poisonous in themselves. Anyway, I took all kinds of medicine, but none of them helped.

I was tortured so much that I had to squat in the toilet for most of the day. My anus was so tortured by the talisman that I had no feeling at all.

I finally stopped having diarrhea in the evening. At that time, I had no strength left and collapsed in the toilet.

A group of people carried me back to the room on a rack like a dead dog. I was dehydrated and exhausted. Fortunately, we were in this advanced martial arts world, and there happened to be a top master, the Old Heavenly Master, who kept supplying me with true energy all the way. Otherwise, I would have been dead before I even got back to the room.

When we got back to the house, A-da and the others came over to serve me. I drank some water and gradually regained my strength. A-da piled up the quilt so that I could lean on it more comfortably. Xiao Gao served me porridge with a distressed look on his face.

After taking two mouthfuls of the bland porridge, I could barely speak. Looking at the bland porridge, I felt annoyed. I waved my hand to let Xiao Gaoda go, and said unhappily, "It has no taste at all. I don't want to eat it."

"Boss, please eat something. Your health is important. How can you survive without eating?" Xiao Gao advised.

"I want to eat meat." I looked pitifully at the old Taoist priest standing next to me.

The old Taoist priest looked at me kindly and said, "Although we cultivators abstain from meat and fish, we do not require others to be vegetarians. If Your Highness Qianqiu wants to eat, then you may."

After hearing this, Taoist Priest Tianquan beside the old Taoist said with a bitter face: "Life is hard in the mountains, and there is no meat to eat. Please be patient."

"Of course not. I saw a lot of birds and beasts in the forest when I came here." Ah Da stared at Taoist Tianquan and said, "Old Taoist priest doesn't even bother with my noble family eating meat. Does Taoist Tianquan have any objections?"

Taoist Tianquan said he didn't dare, so Ada didn't say anything. He just asked me to wait for a while and then went out.

Looking at Ah Da's departing figure, Liu Shui said worriedly, "Qian Qiucai has such severe diarrhea, I'm afraid he shouldn't eat these greasy foods."

I was happy to have meat to eat, and I said happily, "Liu Shui, have you ever heard the saying, 'It's better to have a sore that pus flows than to have a poor stomach?' Eating is the most important thing in the world, so when it comes to food, don't worry about so many things."

"Your Highness Qianqiu has an open-minded personality. No wonder Tianshu always praises you highly in his letters. You are such an interesting and good child."

The old Taoist priest laughed heartily and looked at Liu Shui and said, "This is a normal reaction to eating the Four Sacred Fruits. It's not the same as being poisoned or sick. Eating something greasy is fine. Besides, looking at His Highness Qianqiu like this, I'm afraid eating something greasy will make him feel better faster."

Since the old Taoist priest said so, Liu Shui naturally felt relieved and no longer advised me to eat light food.

The old Taoist priest was old and very tired after a whole day of hard work. He chatted with us for a while and then became very sleepy. He went back to rest accompanied by Taoist Tianquan.

Before the old Taoist priest left, he made an appointment with me to have breakfast together the next day. After I agreed, he left without saying anything more.

Not long after the old Taoist priest left, Ah Da came back with two rabbits, three pheasants and a few fish. A cook also came back with him.

Xiao Gao was also surprised when he saw the cook. He asked, "Where did you find a cook in the middle of the night?"

Ah Da rubbed his head and laughed, but didn't answer. I rolled my eyes at him and said, "The secret guards of Prince Yong's Mansion are quite versatile. They can even cook. Could it be that they haven't been properly trained?"

Seeing that I knew this person's identity, Ah Da was also stunned, then smiled innocently and said, "Your Highness, you know everything."

"Chongguang is a filial child, so it's only natural to send some secret guards to follow him. However, the lightness skills of these secret guards are not good enough. They are always making a rattling noise on the roof, which keeps me awake. It's hard for me not to be discovered."

Ah Da felt embarrassed after hearing this, but at this moment, he heard a click and the sound of tiles breaking on the roof.

"It's okay if he's weak physically, but why is his mental toughness so poor? He panicked when I pointed it out. He must be a newbie." I continued to tease, "Have him change the tiles before he leaves. I don't want any rain leaking in at night."

When Ah Da saw that I had discovered the secret guard, he did not hide anything but kept praising His Royal Highness Prince Yong, saying how filial he was to me and that if Prince Yong had not been busy with affairs in the capital and could not spare the time, he would have wanted to come in person. Liu Shui was so jealous just hearing this.

A Da said nice things to coax me, and the chefs outside were not busy. When the secret guards saw that I pointed out their identities, they no longer hid them. Several secret guards with good cooking skills came out to cook openly.

With so many people working on it, the speed was naturally fast. Soon, the chef brought in three large basins.

I was eating and listening to Ah Da's chatter, which really annoyed me. I said, "The Four Sacred Fruits have already appeared in the world, so how could those people leave so easily?"

"Of course they don't want to leave, but the Wudang Sect is not a pushover. Besides, the old Taoist priest has come out to protect you. What can we do if they just don't want to leave?" Liu Shui said while eating a chicken leg.

"What's the use of that old Taoist priest with a big nose? I was the one who drove away these bandits." Ah Da said proudly.

Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat. I thought to myself, Ah Da, a guy with a lot of muscles but no brains, might have gotten into trouble again. I hurriedly asked, "How did you drive so many people away?"

Ah Da wanted to take credit for it, so when I asked, he replied, "It's simple. I killed a few of the ones who showed up. The rest were so scared that they pissed their shit out of their wits. They didn't dare to stay here anymore."

It was just killing a few people, which didn't seem like a big deal. But Liu Shui's next words left me speechless.

"According to my observation, those people who showed up should be sent by the eldest sister of the Divine Sword Sect to test the old Taoist priest. Fortunately, the old Taoist priest was already furious, so he asked them to retreat, otherwise it would be the masters of Mr. Qiao who took action." Liu Shui said worriedly.

"The Divine Sword Sect again?" I said while sucking on my chopsticks.

"I think the eldest sister of the Divine Sword Sect's martial arts skills are really not that good. She can't make any waves. Besides, when will our Prince Yong's Mansion be afraid of these people in the martial arts world? Just kill them." Ah Da didn't care and said nonchalantly.

"Mr. Qiao has always been arrogant. I think His Highness Liushui has made a mistake. How could he possibly obey a woman's orders?" Xiao Gao said.

Xiao Gao also came from the Northern Border Army. Although he usually pretended to be friendly with these chivalrous men, he looked down on them deep down.

Therefore, Xiao Gao did not care and said with a smile: "Besides, if they really have any bad intentions, the worst that can happen is to kill them. With more than 20 brothers down the mountain, killing Master Qiao is not a difficult task."

I have observed these people carefully. Although they have good martial arts skills, they are not top-notch masters. It is difficult for them to win against me. It is also a 50-50 chance for them to win against A-Da and the others. These people are definitely not a threat to us.

Although I was not afraid of these people at all, I always felt that something was strange about them, the Four Sacred Fruits and the Divine Sword Sect, but I couldn't figure it out for a while. After thinking for a long time, I had to give up.

I adhere to the principle of not thinking about it if I can't think of it. What if I am overthinking it? I will go back to eating meat happily.

I was so sleepy after eating and drinking. This time, without the group of people from Xishan making noise outside, I slept until noon. It was so comfortable.

I had a good sleep, and when I woke up, I looked out the window and saw the sun in the center of the sky.

I was confused for a while before I remembered that I had promised the old Taoist priest to have breakfast together. At this time, I must have broken the appointment.

I put on my clothes in a hurry and crawled to the old Taoist priest's yard. Just as I was about to say sorry, the old Taoist priest came out to greet me.

As soon as I saw the old Taoist priest, I quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I overslept. I promised to have breakfast with you, but I broke the promise. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I knew you would sleep until this time." The old Taoist priest welcomed me into the courtyard and said, "I haven't eaten either, so this can be considered breakfast."

"The old master has such a keen eye that he could even predict that I would oversleep. He's truly amazing."

I complimented him with my mouth, and in my heart I was thinking, could it be that the old Taoist priest’s skills are so high that he can see things that we cannot see? For a moment, I couldn’t help but admire the old Taoist priest.

When the old Heavenly Master heard what I said, he laughed heartily and said, "Hahahahahahahahahaha, it's not that I'm a prophet, it's that the immortal from the Star-Picking Tower informed me in advance."

This surprised me deeply, and I quickly asked, "Can the Zhaixing Tower really predict the future?"

"Of course. The immortals in Zhaixing Tower have immense magical powers and have never made a mistake in thousands of years." The old Taoist priest said with pride.

Seeing that I was a little unconvinced, he took out another letter from his pocket and placed it in front of me, saying, "Actually, two letters arrived at Zhaixing Tower at that time. One was about arranging the Four Sacred Fruits, and His Highness Qianqiu saw it yesterday. This letter came later, saying that the Four Sacred Fruits would eventually be obtained by a noble person, and also arranged what happened today."

I opened the envelope and quickly scanned it. I was horrified and asked, "Is what's in the letter true?"

"Of course it's true." The old Taoist priest said again with certainty, "In all these years, Zhaixinglou has never missed a single thing."

After receiving the old Taoist priest’s affirmation, I was first ecstatic, and then filled with great fear.

I looked at the old Taoist priest viciously, quickly concealing the murderous intent in my heart. I chuckled softly and asked tentatively, "Old Taoist priest, what do you think of what is said in the letter?"

The old Taoist priest saw the murderous intent in my eyes. Although he was not afraid, he was also afraid of angering me, the God of Wealth, and losing a lot of incense money. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness Qianqiu, please rest assured. This letter uses the secret method of Zhaixing Tower. Others cannot see the contents of the letter."

I didn't believe a single word of this nonsense. When I heard the old Taoist priest come up with such lies to deceive me, I thought to myself that the old Taoist priest must have read the contents of the letter and then made up such nonsense to deceive me.

For a moment, the murderous intent in my heart grew stronger, but I also knew that I was no match for the old Taoist priest, and I didn't dare to kill him. I could only smile and say, "It's not a big deal. Besides, with the old Taoist priest's character, I think even if he knew, he would keep it a secret."

"I really don't know. If you don't believe me, you can take out the letter and you will know that what I said is true." The old Taoist priest was a little panicked and kept talking.

I handed the envelope to the old Taoist priest and said indifferently, "I believe that the old Taoist priest definitely doesn't know about this. I still trust the old Taoist priest's character."

The more I said I believed it, the more I cared about it. The old Taoist priest naturally understood this and quickly took the envelope. He quickly took out the letter from inside, spread it flat on the table, and said, "Take a closer look. I really don't know."

I took a casual glance and found something wrong. The last page of the paper originally said that I could return to my original world, but now the letter asked me to seize the position of leader of the martial arts world and then go to Zhaixing Tower for detailed discussion.

This sudden change surprised me a little. I picked up the paper, and the content on it changed to allow me to return to my original world. When I put it on the table, the content again asked me to seize the position of the leader of the martial arts world and go to the Zhaixing Tower for detailed discussion.

There was something strange about this letter. I turned it over and over again and found that only I could see the contents.

But I was still worried, so I asked Ada to come in. Ada couldn't see the contents of the letter at all. Once the paper was in Ada's hands, it became clean, without a single word on it.

Seeing this situation, I felt relieved. I put the letter on the tea stove and burned it. I said cheerfully, "Since it is the order of the Immortal Master of Zhaixing Tower, I will do my best."

Then the old Taoist priest talked about the martial arts conference.

One month later, Bodhi Temple will hold a martial arts conference to select the leader of the martial arts world and lead all the righteous people in the world to the Zhaixing Tower to find the murderer who killed the Beggar Gang leader Huaishu Gui and others, and restore order to the martial arts world.

I confirmed some details of the martial arts conference with the old Taoist priest. Since we had plenty of time, I was not in a hurry. I just took A Da and the others straight to the spring water fish to see how delicious the spring water fish that Xiao Gao praised so much was.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
