Looking for you in reincarnation

"That's right. Fortunately, our Lunt City is far away from the war, otherwise we really can't stay here."

"Those enemy armies of the border countries are truly despicable. They've been provoking wars year after year. Didn't our Great Yan Dynasty send them a princess as a marriage partner two years ago? They're still not satisfied!"

"Heh~ A princess for a foreign marriage? That depends on her importance. Rumor has it that the higher-ups simply found a beautiful noblewoman to replace her. I heard that this was one of the reasons the enemy army started the war."

"Tsk tsk~ There's such a thing? Which noble lady is so unlucky?"

"Rumor has it that his surname is Jiang and he's from a prominent noble family in Zhongjing."

"Isn't this the Imperial Master's family? The Imperial Master holds a high position of power, so why would King Yanwen choose his daughter?"

“Who knows the reason behind this?”

"So, does this Imperial Master really have the ability to prolong life and bring the dead back to life?"

"What you said, if he didn't have that ability, how could King Yanwen appoint Old Master Jiang as the Imperial Master?"

……

After hearing these conversations, Si He paused and stopped eating, her eyes darkening slightly.

The old man Jiang they are talking about, could it be that old man Jiang who is neither human nor ghost?

National Preceptor?

Looking back at the people who accompanied them, their attire, and their aura, they were undoubtedly nobles. Moreover, the old man's abilities were indeed extraordinary, and he might really be the imperial teacher!

Si He thought carefully about her previous attire. Old man Jiang probably didn't see her face clearly, as it was so dirty. Otherwise, if he had issued a warrant for her arrest as the Imperial Master, she would have been forced to live in hiding.

In addition, is this ability to prolong life and bring the dead back to life achieved with the help of spiritual essence?

It seems that spiritual essence is really something special!

No wonder the old man specially raised so many evil corpses. I guess he also raised a lot of them elsewhere!

If she had the chance in the future, she really wanted to find a spirit to study.

"Cousin He?"

Seeing that she was lost in thought while eating, Sun Qiquan guessed that she might have heard about Fu Qingcheng, and couldn't help but call her.

When Si He came to her senses, she saw both of them looking at her, each with a different gaze.

Sun Qiquan added, "Don't be sad, cousin He. The Si Mansion is gone now, but I will take care of you."

Si He felt a little impatient. Was it because her refusal was not obvious or firm enough?

"Cousin Quan, I really don't need your care. I'm fine now."

And she was not sad at all. First of all, she was not the original owner, so naturally she had no feelings for the people in the Si Mansion. Besides, no one in the Si Mansion was good to her. Those people either wanted to use her or wanted to harm her. Now that she was in trouble, it was a good thing that she didn't say that she deserved it.

"Is this okay? Living in exile, living on simple food. Although Brother Ning is your distant cousin, it's not good for a single man and a single woman to live together. It will only lead to criticism. After all, you were once the county magistrate's daughter. Why debase yourself?"

He was a little indignant for a moment, so he said a bunch of blunt and unpleasant words without hesitation.

Si He's eyes turned cold, "It's not your turn to say what I should do."

Sun Qiquan's face was grim. He endured it again and again, and finally softened his tone, "Cousin He, I don't mean to scold you. The world is in chaos now. It's very dangerous for a girl like you to go out with him. You have never been out of the house before, so you don't know how treacherous people are."

What he said was meaningful.

"I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more, cousin Quan."

She didn't appreciate his kindness, and his expression became even uglier. He also looked at Ning Ji with increasing displeasure. At the same time, he was also very puzzled. What kind of magic potion did this guy give her to make her so devoted?

Ning Ji turned a blind eye to Sun Qiquan's cold look. He put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup and drank tea calmly, as if he had not heard or seen the argument between the two.

The atmosphere was tense, and Si He couldn't eat anymore. She put down her chopsticks and said to Ning Ji, "Cousin Ning, are you done eating?"

"Yeah." He looked up at her and responded.

"Then let's go." Si He said, then looked at Sun Qiquan and said politely, "Cousin Quan, please do as you please. We'll take our leave now."

After saying that, she called the waiter to settle the bill, and then took out a purse from her pocket, which was given to her by Ning Ji before.

Ning Ji saw that she used the money in the purse to pay the bill, so he didn't take out the money.

Sun Qiquan, who was standing by, was extremely surprised when he saw this. A grown man actually let a girl pay the bill? Was he a gigolo?

"Cousin He, I'll pay the bill!"

Sun Qiquan was about to take out his wallet to stop Si He from paying, but she said, "No need."

She handed a piece of silver to the waiter and waited for the change. She was poor now and couldn't be so generous as to not care. What's more, it was Ning Ji's money, so she had to be frugal, even though he was a good earner.

Seeing how stingy she was, the waiter didn't say anything. He just ran down quickly and gave her the change.

Sun Qiquan was shocked again!

His family is a merchant and their business is pretty good. At least he is not short of money. He receives a lot of monthly salary, and he owns many shops that are profitable.

Normally, when he goes out to eat, why would he need change? He just gives the remaining money as a gift!

After all, she was once the daughter of a county magistrate, born into a wealthy family. How could she have fallen so low now that she was so calculative?

Yes, the Si Mansion is gone, and she has no one to rely on. It is indeed not comparable to before.

The waiter quickly handed her a few copper coins as change. She kept the coins and left with Ning Ji.

Sun Qiquan quickly followed, "Cousin He, wait for me!"

Si He ignored him and walked out with Ning Ji.

After walking out of the restaurant, the two were about to head towards the inn. At this time, the street ahead was crowded with people and very lively, as if something had happened.

Since it was on the way anyway, the two of them kept walking forward, with Sun Qiquan following closely behind.

Only after getting closer could I see the situation ahead clearly.

Some disciples of Taiyi Sect came back first. They carried several unconscious disciples off the carriage one after another and hurried into a clinic on the street. They looked seriously ill and in a very miserable state.

Among them, a female disciple was crying. While crying, she helped to move some things into the clinic.

Because this street is the most prosperous and lively, there were many onlookers, pointing and whispering.

Si He and Ning Ji also stopped and watched them enter the clinic. Sun Qiquan, who followed behind, couldn't help but look around curiously, trying to find out what was going on here.

"Is this the immortal disciple from the Taiyi Sect? Has he returned from Stone Village?"

"That's right! I recognize the attire of this sect. It's from the Taiyi Sect. I never thought the evil spirits in Stone Village were so powerful that even the Taiyi Sect couldn't do anything about them!"

"The evil spirit in Stone Village should be gone. I was coming back from Peach Blossom Village this afternoon and happened to pass by there. I saw that Stone Village had been burned to ruins. Only a few officials and immortal masters were left to clean up the aftermath. The whole village was burned like that, so it should be fine now, right?"

"Hey, young man, you're still too young to know that some things are useless if you just burn them!"

"That's right, otherwise why would these immortal master disciples rush back to the city for treatment?"
