Practice Remembering You

Chapter 352: Becoming a Taoist Companion and Shadow Scarf

Wu Mengjie's eyes were firm: "I want to break through that layer of window paper. Although my current realm has not yet been reached, my strength is already good enough."

Zhang Yu understood what he meant as soon as he heard it: "It seems that you have already made up your mind. What do you need me to do?"

"I hope Brother Zhang can be our witness." Wu Mengjie said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "But how should I address Shi Dongdong from now on? Now that you two have become Taoist companions, should I raise your status or lower the status of Uncle Shi?"

"Just call her by her own name, and call her Sister Shi. The life span of the cultivation world is so long that it's all a mess. As for other existences, let's talk about them separately."

When the two returned to the sect, Wu Mengjie was still somewhat nervous.

Zhang Yu encouraged him: "You and Elder Shi have been together for so many years, there must be no problem. If it is not possible, I would not have come this far with you."

Wu Mengjie took a deep breath and went to the sect’s main hall.

At this time, the sect leader, Master Yazhi, and Shi Dongdong were both there. Zhang Yu saw that Master Yazhi's smile was somewhat meaningful, and Shi Dongdong was also a little nervous at this time. It seemed that both parties knew what was going on.

So Wu Mengjie opened up to Shi Dongdong and made it clear that he wanted to become his Taoist partner.

Although Shi Dongdong and Wu Mengjie had already secretly confirmed their relationship, his heart still beat fast when he heard Wu Mengjie's official performance. His face turned red.

Master Yazhi kept joking around, making Wu Mengjie and Shi Dongdong feel shy. However, it also showed that Master Yazhi had no objection to his disciple being with his third sister.

Finally, under the witness of many people in the sect, Wu Mengjie and Shi Dongdong officially became Taoist partners. All that was left was to wait for Master Yanyan to come out of seclusion and tell him the news.

For the newlyweds, Master Yazhi opened an extra mountain building, where Wu Mengjie and Shi Dongdong would live from now on. It was not far from the main building of the sect, only about 200 meters away.

The days that followed were peaceful.

In the world of cultivation, the more powerful the existence, the fewer things there are to deal with in daily life, and the quieter they are. After all, when it reaches the point where strong people need to take action, it is basically a big deal.

—East Region, Dongzhou, Yueyagou Town—

In the evening, Lei Chugang rested in an inn in the town.

Downstairs, a man in gray plain clothes and an ordinary mask on his face walked in tiredly. His heart was beating strongly and there was a relatively thin aura of true energy on his body. He was obviously a cultivator.

The people eating in the inn were all startled when they saw this, but fortunately the man was not interested in them.

The owner of the store was standing behind the big counter at this moment, holding a notebook in his hand, staring intently at the names of the drinks on it, and carefully recording them with his hands.

He seemed to be completely immersed in his work, unaware of what was happening around him. However, when he sensed the arrival of the immortal, he immediately put down the notebook in his hand and hurried over.

His steps seemed a little hurried, but he was polite. When he came in front of the immortal, he subconsciously hunched his body slightly, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he clasped his hands tightly together and rubbed them in front of his body, as if he wanted to express his nervousness and awe in this way.

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and asked carefully, "Oh, oh, I have met the immortal! I wonder what we can do for you? If you need any help or service, please let me know."

The man didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Did an immortal come to stay at your hotel today?"

The man's tone was a little hurried, and he was not sure what the other party meant. When the shop owner heard it, his heart seemed to be grasped.

I thought, there is indeed an immortal staying at the inn today, but what does this person mean? His tone seems a little wrong. Is he holding a grudge against me? If I tell the masked immortal in front of me where the immortal lives, what will I do if a fight breaks out? My inn will be demolished.

When the battle was over, the two immortals just patted their butts and left. What could I do? The government would not care about the losses in such battles between immortals. Those losses were my own.

Six years ago, there was a restaurant opposite. Because of a conflict between two immortals, a fire broke out as a result. The whole restaurant was burned down, and all the resources and treasures were burned to ashes.

The former restaurant owner can still be seen walking on the road, carrying a shoulder pole and selling tofu along the street.

But if the other party was just speaking in that tone, and the two of them actually knew each other, then if I didn't say anything, when the immortal sees me later and talks about what happened today, I would be retaliated against. After all, I would be deceiving the immortal.

The shopkeeper thought about a lot of things after the masked immortal asked the question. For a moment, he didn't know whether to tell the truth or not tell the other party.

The monk with the mask saw that the shopkeeper seemed to be stunned and did not reply. He could not help but feel dissatisfied: "What should we do? Does it take a long time to think about whether there are immortals staying here? The difference between them and ordinary people should be very big."

Hearing the change in the tone of the masked immortal, the shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs went limp. He quickly said, "I didn't think about it for a long time. I was really shocked by the immortal's aura and was distracted for a moment. There is indeed an immortal staying today, on the second floor. Please follow me, immortal."

The shopkeeper said, and led the way. He was now risking his life, betting that the two monks knew each other.

The key is that you can't not gamble, you can't cheat the other party. If a fight breaks out, you can run down immediately, take all the gold and silver, and leave here with your family. If the inn is gone, you can build a new one, but if the people and money are gone, then it's all over.

The two of them went upstairs.

Lei Chu, who was practicing in the room, naturally felt the fluctuation of true energy. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, but thought that a fellow Taoist had come to stay in the hotel. He didn't take it seriously, adjusted his state, and continued practicing.

The source of the true Qi pressure was getting closer and closer. Lei Chu had always thought that the other party just lived next door to him, but he didn't expect that it would stop at the door of his room.

The shopkeeper's voice came from outside the door: "Master Immortal, this room is where the Immortal is."

Hearing this, Lei Chu knew that the other party was looking for him. He frowned slightly. He didn't seem to know anyone here, so why did the other party look for him?

The male monk outside the house spoke: "Okay, you can go down."

"Okay, I'll go down right away. If you need anything, just call me and I'll come right over!" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, footsteps could be heard fading away in the corridor.

Lei Chu felt that the monk's voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Come in, fellow Daoist, the door is not bolted." Lei Chu said calmly.

"Squeak~"
