The man smiled faintly.

Only in the end did he feel the cold gaze disappear. He let out a sigh of relief, knowing that this fairy had finally let her guard down.

He watched as Little Rock threw himself into his parents' arms and cried. For some reason, he thought of the moment when Ruo Lan and her father's legs were healed and they cried tears of joy. His heart couldn't help but soften.

For the first time, he had a ridiculous illusion: human life was so fragile, but it was so tender and lovable that it made people want to love it.

In comparison, although millions of years of demon life were long, it was still filled with loneliness and desolation.

It was as if he and Jun Wu Yao, who were brothers and sisters, had no choice but to fight each other …

The bright moonlight shone through the pine forest, and under the faint moonlight, the massive stone gate of the Taohua monastery seemed empty and cold.

A little red fox made a bow in front of the temples. It rolled forward a few steps, then hesitated and backed off. It raised its head to look at the "Peach Blossom Monastery" written in ink under the white moonlight with an apprehensive expression.

In the monk room, the little monk was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed while recuperating. Feeling the weak devil aura coming from the outside of the temple, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Within his clear pupils, a cold light flashed like lightning.

"Come in."

The little fox's body trembled when it heard the word 'indifferent'.

A green light flashed, and an elegant young master dressed in green appeared out of nowhere in the monk's room. It was the little fox who called himself "Li Qianqiu."

Ye Zichen stared at him with a cold look, but didn't say anything.

"Please spare us, Young Lord!" The green-clothed young master knelt down in panic.

She pursed her lips and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Jun Wu Yao sent a lot of people to expand their magic power?"

"Yes."

"Is this my mother's arrangement?"

After a slight hesitation, Li Qianqiu carefully replied, "Yes."

"Did you also do this to Little Rock who was injured by the demons?"

Yun Fei shook his head hurriedly. "It isn't your subordinate. It should be someone else."

A moment later, he raised his right hand and said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Master."

As Li Qianqiu pondered, the temperature in the room seemed to have frozen over. Li Qianqiu silently lowered his head to the side.

After a long while, she finally ordered him, "It's not convenient for me to go see Mother right now. Tell her on my behalf that there has been a change in the plan. For the time being, don't let anyone out, and don't hurt the people from Thousand Blessings Village.

"Yes."

After thinking about it, he continued, "In addition, if I don't give any orders from now on, you can stay by Ruo Lan's side. If she is in danger, inform me immediately."

"Yes."

He waved his hand and said, "Leave."

"Master …?"

"Hmm?"

Li Qianqiu hesitated slightly as he observed the young master's expression. However, he still carefully reminded him, "The young master seems to be severely injured. That young master seemed to have great immortal energy. Does the young master really not need to return to his residence to recuperate?"

"No need, this matter cannot be revealed to Mother. You can go."

With a wave of his hand, silence returned to the room.

He once again closed his eyes and continued to heal his injuries.

When he fought Mister Qin all by himself today, he had already suffered internal injuries. However, after Ling Yun had joined them, he had no choice but to be on guard against anyone. Afterwards, he had used his magic to treat Little Rock's illness after Ruo Lan's pleas. This consumption was even more difficult, so it would probably take some time for him to recuperate.

Fortunately, Ling Yun was always by Ruo Lan's side, so he didn't have to worry about Ruo Lan's safety.

In the well outside the courtyard, under the bright moonlight, a faint purple aura was floating in the air. No one had seen this strange scene.

Although demons could recover their strength, to them, rest was still the best way to recover their physical strength.

Since he had been injured the previous day, he woke up later than usual the next morning.

Before he left the mountain, Ruo Lan ran into the temple, panting heavily.

He was lighting incense for a female benefactor in front of the Buddha and inserting it into the incense burner.

Ever since he saved Ruo Lan, the mystique of the Taohua monk became more and more complicated.

As time passed, even the villagers in the neighboring villages would come to the Taohua monastery to pray for Bodhisattva's blessings on the fifteenth day of the month. The Taohua monastery was filled with vigor and liveliness, bustling with noise and excitement.

"Brother Xiao Qi, there's something I need you for!" Rulan ran into the Great Hall, her forehead beaded with sweat.

He smiled at her and motioned for her to be quiet.

Ruo Lan stood to the side, silently watching as her female benefactor kowtowed three times, then pulled out a lot and passed it to her. With a slightly blushing face, she lowered her head and said, "Young Master, this way, we can settle this marriage contract."

After glancing at the bamboo stick for a while, he calmly said, "As long as it's a marriage contract, there's no need to worry. The phoenix will beg the phoenix and sing for the phoenix. A thousand miles met the heavens, and it was a hundred year cycle with the luan zither. Congratulations, your good marriage is about to arrive. You only need to cherish the person in front of you. "

After the girl expressed her gratitude, she raised her pair of big, watery eyes and glared at the ring for a moment before leaving with a flushed face.

After putting the bamboo stick back in the box, he turned around and asked Ruo Lan with a smile, "Why did you come looking for me so early in the morning? — Hey, could it be that you've been missing me for an entire night? "Lan?"

He leaned forward, a pair of obsidian eyes sizing up Ruo Lan.

Ruo Lan was both embarrassed and annoyed. She said angrily, "Big brother Xiao Qi! In front of the Buddha, you weren't afraid, and yet … you still … "

"What else?"

He faintly smiled as he received her words. At this moment, he saw a white shadow at the entrance of the temple. He knew it was Lingyun and immediately stopped smiling.

Monk wouldn't tease a little girl like this in front of Buddha. Damn it, I almost forgot.

The displeased expression on her face returned to calmness as she asked Rulan, "Okay, what are you looking for me for?"

Ruo Lan lowered her head, not daring to look at him. She seemed very nervous, and stammered, "A matchmaker came to my house this morning to propose marriage."

Propose marriage?

Ye Zichen was stunned.

He didn't expect that after what had happened last time, there would still be someone who dared to propose to Ruo Lan.

His expression quickly returned to normal as he reached out his hand to rub Ruo Lan's messy head, saying, "That's very good. Who was the one who proposed the marriage?"

"It's the young master of the Chen family, the one we met yesterday …" Uh, Chen Shaobai. This morning he sent his matchmaker over to ask for my eight characters. Daddy told the matchmaker he wanted to ask my opinion. "

Chen Shaobai? The handsome young man in white from yesterday?

His bright black eyes dimmed and became absent-minded for a moment before he asked, "Then what do you say?"

Ruo Lan bashfully twisted her body and said, "Brother Xiao Qi, I just don't know what to do, so I came up to ask you. How about I also draw a marriage contract? Why don't you help me take a look? "

As she spoke, she was about to kneel on the prayer mat on the ground.

"Don't!" Ye Zichen stopped her.

"Why?"

Ruo Lan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

He shifted his gaze away and looked at the entrance of the great hall. He knew that Fairy Ling Yun was secretly observing him, so he said calmly: "Mister Chen is not a bad person. If you like him, you should agree to this marriage."

"But …"

"Hmm?"

"Brother Xiao Qi, are you really willing?" Brother Xiao Qi, do you like it when I marry that Chen family's Young Master? "

Ruo Lan looked at the ring angrily.

The side of his face was still delicate and pretty, but there was an extra grave look on it. It was still so beautiful that people couldn't help but want to touch it.

He suppressed the impulse in his heart, turned his head to look at Ruo Lan, and asked with a smile, "What else? Young Master Chen is a talented man, of course I wish you happiness. If you don't marry him, who else do you want to marry? "

"I …"

Rowland choked for a moment. That's right, if he didn't marry Young Master Chen, would he have a better choice?

She was silent for a moment, and then let out a bright smile towards him, unable to contain her laughter: "Yesterday that smelly Taoist priest, even said that I am unable to get married. Hmph, I knew that smelly Taoist was indeed a swindler! "What a pity about the silver ingot from yesterday."

It was hard to explain with a faint smile, "Let's go. We're going to the Chen Mansion again today to see if Lady Chen's condition has improved."

Ling Yun leaned against a camphor tree, and coldly stared at the entrance of the temple. However, he seemed to be in a trance, and did not see anything.

At this moment, an aunt carrying a vegetable basket was asking the Scepter how to find the abbot master. The God took out an acid pear from the basket and thanked her.

He received the pear and said very politely, "Thank you, Aunt. I wish you good health and happiness."

"Aiyo, look at this child! He's so cute!"

As the aunt spoke, she couldn't help but squat down and pick up her color ring and give him a kiss on his face.

Her lethargic face immediately looked like the liver of a pig. The auntie smiled as she carried the vegetable basket into a corner of the temple. The lethargic face wailed loudly, the sound of her crying pierced the horizon.

Ruo Lan and Zhong Yi walked towards them. Ruo Lan didn't understand and asked, "Little Yan, what are you crying for?"

"I broke the ring, wuaoo …"

The pervert cried as he wiped away his tears. Then, he quickly ran towards the monastery in the backyard.

Ruo Lan turned her head to look at the figure that was running away from her with a displeased expression. A faint smile appeared on her face.

Ruo Lan looked at Ling Yun again. Although her expression was cold, she couldn't help but smile.

Ruo Lan slowed down for a few seconds, hugged her stomach and laughed out loud. As she laughed, she said, "I'm dying of laughter. I finally have a way to deal with him in the future, hahaha! "

Ye Zichen glanced at her in annoyance. Is it that funny? Also, what did she mean when she said there would be a way to deal with abstinence in the future?

Lingyun and the ring nodded their heads, treating it as a form of greeting.

The group descended the mountain and went to the Village of Longevity to check up on the Chen family's girl.

Lady Chen was still lying on her bed. Li Qianqiu had returned her soul to her. Her complexion was much better now. Her pale face was a little flushed, and her charming eyes roamed around her body.

He was as still as a mountain as he calmly checked her pulse. His expression didn't change, as if he didn't see her expression.

However, even Lingyun could see that something was off.

Ruo Lan wasn't stupid, she grumbled even more unhappily.

When this Lady Chen saw Brother Xiao Qi, her happy expression was like that of a fairy. Who would be so happy when she's sick?

Besides, wasn't he the doctor who saved her? Why didn't she thank him?

With regards to Lady Chen's body, Ruo Lan wrote a new set of prescription for the butler, instructing him to use the prescription.

When the three of them were about to leave, Lady Chen ground her silver teeth and finally shouted bravely at the back of the disgruntled figure, "Young Master …"

He turned his head back in annoyance. With a warm gaze and a calm expression, he asked, "Is Lady Chen still feeling well?"

Lady Chen shook her head and asked shyly, "Young Master, tomorrow …" Will you come back? "
