Master Fu does not envy immortals

Chapter 60 The Unreliable Young Master
As soon as these words came out, the expression of the second son of Liang became subtle somehow. Jiang Qiongxing was afraid that he would think wrong, so he hurriedly added: "On the way to the capital, I met a fellow Taoist, who is a friend of the seventh young master."

"So that's how it is." Second Young Master Liang replied, "That's right, our family does have a Seventh Brother, but he is a strange creature, he is obviously talented, but he doesn't want to cultivate immortality, my father has a lot of headaches because of this."

"Really?" Jiang Qiongxing originally wanted to find out if this person was easy to get along with, but he didn't expect to hear such news, so he was in a difficult situation for a while - if the Seventh Young Master himself is not willing to cultivate immortality, how can she persuade him to be her teacher?

At this time, a palm-sized oriole flew from outside the garden, landed on the table, opened its mouth, and spit out a scroll of notes.

"Is this also a magic weapon?" Jiang Qiongxing looked closely at it in surprise.

The bird didn't fly away after spitting out the note, it turned its head and combed its feathers with its beak freely, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a live oriole.

Second Young Master Liang picked up the note: "That's right, but it's useless. I can only pass some small things at close range. It's just a gadget made by the elders in the family when they are bored."

As he said, he scanned the contents of the note at a glance, and frowned slightly: "Sorry, there is something urgent that needs to be dealt with, and I will be back soon."

"It's okay, this place is very beautiful, I'll take a look around by myself." Jiang Qiongxing said empathetically.

Second Young Master Liang smiled: "Walk around casually. If you get lost, just ask the stone carvings on the side of the road to guide you."

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Although the Second Young Master Liang left, the oriole did not. Jiang Qiongxing did not intend to wander around other people's homes, but was very interested in this little bird's magic weapon. He looked up and down and asked in a low voice, "Can you call?"

The bird turned its head to stare at her, and chirped a series of sounds for a moment.

really call!

Jiang Qiongxing's eyes widened, feeling like his heart would melt: "Call again, okay?"

Maybe because she thought her expression was too stupid, Oriole ignored her and spread her wings to carefully comb her feathers.

The arc of the wings stretched out was so beautiful, Jiang Qiongxing endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back, and carefully stretched out a finger to touch the tip of the wing.

She felt that her movements were so small that she could hardly be noticed, but unexpectedly, the bird paused, spread its wings and flew out of the pavilion.

"Hey, don't go!" Jiang Qiongxing chased out instinctively.

The direction of the bird's flight was a rockery forest. Jiang Qiongxing chased it not far, but the oriole was blocked by the rockery and she couldn't see it. She let out a regretful "Hey" and walked forward a few steps without giving up, wanting to see if it would stop behind the rockery.

Unexpectedly, just after turning a corner, she didn't see a bird, but saw two figures sticking together.

Hearing the movement, the two figures quickly separated.

Sure enough, you shouldn't run around in other people's homes!

"Sorry I don't have anything—"

Jiang Qiongxing covered his eyes and was about to return the same way, but was stopped by a voice: "It's you!"

"what?"

Can you meet acquaintances here?She put down her hand covering her eyes and looked back again.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a familiar person.

The young man who cheated on the side of the road the night she first entered the city!

"Don't go!" The young liar pointed at Jiang Qiongxing and shouted.

Jiang Qiongxing was shocked: Not to mention that I was wearing men's clothes that day and today I am wearing women's clothes, how on earth did you recognize me, and I only cheated you of ten copper coins at that time, so why are you so angry?

The woman beside him straightened her temples, lowered her head and whispered, "I'll go back first."

The young liar turned his head and said softly, "Okay, be careful on the road, I'll see you tomorrow."

The woman didn't make a sound, and hurriedly left from another direction with her head lowered.

When her figure disappeared, the young man reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and then walked towards Jiang Qiongxing with an expression of pleading guilty.

The quickness of the face change is amazing.

"How on earth did you recognize me?" Jiang Qiongxing was most curious about this.

The young man sneered: "Is it difficult? I recognized it at a glance. I know anyone who can cheat money from me, even in ashes!"

"When did I cheat you of money, do you understand that I would like to gamble and admit defeat?" Jiang Qiongxing said.

The young liar got stuck for a while, pulled out a fan, and slapped it vigorously a few times: "Don't talk about this—why are you here?"

"I still want to ask you." Jiang Qiongxing looked him up and down, "You are a liar, why did you sneak into Liang's mansion?"

"This is my home!" the young liar said angrily.

"Your family?" Jiang Qiongxing curled her lips in disbelief at all, "If your family is so rich, why would you squat on the street and cheat people of money?"

"I..." The liar young man took a deep breath to calm himself down, but his voice still sounded like he was gnashing his teeth, "I just lied to you, and you cheated me out of my principal in turn, which made my plan to make money fail at the very beginning."

"Your principal is only ten copper coins?" Jiang Qiongxing laughed out loud, "How dare you say that the Liang Mansion is your home if you are so poor?"

"That's my private money!" the young man plausibly said.

"Why are you saving money for your own house?" Jiang Qiongxing asked.

"Run away from home." The young man was confident.

Jiang Qiongxing looked around, in such a luxurious place, someone actually wanted to run away from home?

"Why?" she asked curiously.

The young man sighed vicissitudes of life: "You should also know that the Liang family is a family of cultivators."

"Ah."

"My parents will only supervise our cultivation progress from morning to night. Since we have learned all the characters, we have never invited a teacher who teaches the Four Books and Five Classics."

"You want to learn the Four Books and Five Classics? Why?"

"Test for merit! In this dynasty, if you want to become an official, you can only pass the imperial examination. You don't know that?" the young man waved his fan.

Jiang Qiongxing looked at him in disbelief: "...you were born in a family of cultivators, but you only want to be an official?"

"That's right!" The young man raised his head and looked at the distant sky, "I want to run away from home and go to the most famous academy to study the Four Books and Five Classics. After I finish my studies, I will be the champion and come back to marry a wife!"

What a great ambition!

Jiang Qiongxing applauded him.

The young man suddenly closed his fan, and stretched out his hand to her: "So you quickly return my principal, and I will earn a little more, so I can still catch up with the school entrance this fall."

Although it was only ten copper coins, Jiang Qiongxing didn't want to give it to him for some reason: "Then you are not a cultivator?"

"Being an immortal cultivator has such a long lifespan. If my daughter-in-law gets old before I am old, wouldn't she be sad?" The young man reasoned and said, "Instead of spending the rest of the year alone, it would be better for two of us to grow old together and live happily ever after."

Makes sense.

Jiang Qiongxing nodded, and said again: "You can marry an immortal cultivator as your daughter-in-law, wouldn't you be able to live happily ever after?"

Before the young man could speak, there was a sound of footsteps behind him: "Hey, Fellow Daoist, I was planning to introduce my seventh brother to you, but I didn't expect you two to meet first."

The two turned their heads together.
