"No, we didn't do anything, no, no. No..." Hongying pulled Yu Yan behind her, looking like she was the only one who could do it, which made Huanxi laugh.

"I haven't said anything yet, is this considered a confession?"

"Huanxi, don't you still have things to do? Go quickly, I'll take Hongying out." Yu Yan wanted to push Huanxi out, but Huanxi stood there like a mountain, not moving at all.

"Hey, hey, hey, Hongying is my sworn sister, so it's my turn to see her off. Big sister won't tolerate you like this."

Hongying shook her head and walked out the door with her luggage. She had already asked Linghua to feed the horses. This time, Hongying came here to drive the carriage. The half carriage she had left here before now fit Shufeng perfectly.

"Xiao Yu'er, Sister Huanxi. I'm leaving, you have to take care of yourselves."

Hongying was reluctant to leave and kept looking back.

Yu Yan's worried expression overflowed the screen. She took off a safety locket from her body and handed it to Hongying.

"Remember to tie it around you. The herbs inside are insect repellent. Also, when you're out and about, always put yourself first. Do you understand?"

Huanxi also came down the stairs and said to Hongying, "Big sister is right. Always put yourself first. Remember?"

Hongying nodded with tears in her eyes, looked at the two women in front of her with a complicated expression, sighed in her heart and got on the carriage.

At this time, a little girl ran out and shouted, "Master, please take care of yourself!"

Hongying smiled and waved: "My dear disciple, I will bring you something good when I come back this time!"

"Good~"

When the carriage was no longer in sight, the group returned to the courtyard, feeling slightly downcast. Yu Yan was noticeably sadder than the others, while Huan Xi wondered what those two had done last night.

Seeing that Yu Yan's condition was not suitable for teaching anymore, he sent all the children out to play, and pulled Yu Yan into her room to start "interrogating" her.

"Tell me, what did you two do?" She said with a wicked smile.

With Hongying away, Yu Yan started to act calmly. She walked to the door and locked it, then sat down and said to Huanxi:

"Last night... I took Hongying..."

Huanxi: It can’t be what she thinks... No way, no way, no way...

Seeing Huanxi's shocked look, Yu Yan nodded confidently.

"Such speed? Yanyan, you are simply a superwoman."

"What is Supergirl?"

The fire of gossip was burning with joy, so she explained: "Superwoman is a heroine, the best among humans."

Yu Yan was shocked to realize that the girl had misunderstood, so she quickly explained: "I just lay in the same bed with her, I didn't do anything..."

Huanxi: I believe it (I don’t believe it…)

They were so embarrassed when they hadn't done anything? She didn't believe it. She knew what was going on. Yu Yan looked so fragile, but she hadn't expected her to be so fast. Could she learn from her?

When I came out of the house again, it was already noon. After lunch, it was time to get busy. The wall surrounding the medicinal field was almost finished, and they had already started to reclaim the land. The land here was not continuous, but layered, a bit like a miniature version of the Yunnan terraced fields. It was a bit difficult to cultivate. But there was plenty of manpower, so we could take our time.

The progress of building the large mansion that Huanxi wants to build is much slower, and he has only just laid the foundation.

It would take until the end of the year for the farm to be completed, but Zhao Huanxi wasn't in a hurry. She had just harvested her first crop of chili peppers. The profit from using them for cooking would be far from enough.

Perhaps she could think of some modern delicacies and sell them together with Sichuan cuisine to cater to the tastes of more people.

Eight or nine days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, a monk and a Taoist priest appeared at the village entrance in the evening and asked about Xu Qingzhao's name.

The village chief had just returned from the fields when he saw one of the men who looked familiar. This time, however, he was dressed as an ordinary Taoist priest. There was no large crowd like last time.

"Master Xuan Chengzi, I'm sorry for not coming to meet you. Who is this master?"

He just heard these two people asking about Zhao'er. If they were bad people, he would never let them find Zhao'er even if he risked his life.

Xuan Chengzi quickly explained, "This is my good friend, Master Yin Guang. He came from Donglin Prefecture and wanted to catch up with an old friend."

"Amitabha. Donor Xu and I have agreed to meet here. Please lead the way."

After hearing this, the village chief felt relieved. He gave the hoe and tools to his son and asked him to take them back. He then took the monk to Huanxi's home.

It was time for dinner, so Zhao'er should be at Huanxi's house.

Ever since Zhao'er's second sister came back, the two of them have been living in Huanxi's house, and she has not commented on it.

After all, Zhao'er's house only had one bedroom, so the two of them lived a rather simple life. So if she liked staying at Huanxi's house, she would go with her. Zhao'er had lived alone for many years and was very serious. Now he seemed like a living person with vitality, and the old couple were also happy.

When they arrived at Huanxi's house, it was Xu Jinchu who opened the door. Seeing that it was Master Yin Guang, he hurried out and pulled his sleeve and said,

"Second Master! You're here to see Ah Chu? Ah Chu missed you so much!"

Master Yin Guang's icy face seemed to melt instantly. He immediately took out the half-melted candied haws from his pocket and handed it to her, saying:

"Is Ah Chu good?"

Xu Jinchu was in her twenties, and she looked like a little girl standing next to the tall Yin Guang. Yin Guang looked to be in his forties or fifties, and was looking at Xu Jinchu with a loving expression.

She took the half-melted candied haws, carefully opened it, and immediately stuffed it into her mouth, smiling sweetly and saying, "Achu is so good. Second Master, are you looking for Zhao Zhao?"

Master Yin Guang nodded, and Xu Jinchu brought the two of them in. Huanxi heard some noise coming out from inside and saw that it was Xuan Chengzi, whom he had met once, and another monk whom he had never met before.

So he quickly asked Yuan Zhen to go downstairs to prepare tea and welcomed the two of them into the reception room.

"Master, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well." She greeted Xuan Chengzi.

Xuan Chengzi shook off the dust and said with a smile, "Miss Zhao, you have changed a lot in the past few months. You can imagine how anxiously I have been waiting for you at Sanqing Temple."

Huanxi smiled apologetically and said, "I had a lot of chores at home, so that's what got me stuck. I was planning to go after I was done with them. I'm so sorry."

She didn't want to go. If people really found out that she wasn't the real Zhao Huanxi, she would be asking for trouble...

Xu Qingzhao also came out from the backyard at this time and saw Yin Guang, whom he had not seen for a long time.

She had made an appointment with Master Yin Guang to meet in Dashi Village, but it had been almost two months, and she thought something had happened to Master Yin Guang.

He quickly went up to greet them: "Master Yin Guang. Taoist Master Xuan Chengzi."

She didn't expect that Master Yin Guang knew the master of Sanqing Temple. This was rare.

"Donor Xu, there's no need to be so polite."

(Please...any kind of request...)
