The Otherworldly God

Chapter 37 Qi Ling goes out at night to find his master

Le Zheng Shuiling thought about it for a long time, afraid that Le Zheng Yuhua would really become a ronin, and she didn't want to lose the opportunity to become a Taoist, so she sneaked out.

She was very cautious and afraid of being discovered. Being caught and punished was a minor matter, but missing the last chance was a major one. Whenever she met someone, she hid in fear.

“I can’t even see that.”

After dodging it, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

"Shui Ling."

Le Zheng Shui Ling was so scared that she almost screamed, and someone covered her mouth and dragged her back from behind. Feeling that the other person only used one hand's strength, Le Zheng Shui Ling immediately grabbed his hand and pressed him against the wall.

"It's me. It's me, Shui Ling."

"Equally famous?"

"Hand, hand, hand."

Le Zheng Shui Ling quickly let go of his hand and looked at his injured hand. He almost broke the other hand too and felt very embarrassed.

"My hand almost got broken in yours again."

"How would I know it was you?"

"I feel like all the skills that Brother Yuhua taught you have come to me."

"Hey, mistake, mistake. By the way, why are you here?"

"You're here too, which means we're thinking the same thing."

Le Zheng Shuiling smiled knowingly.

"Walk."

They were both worried about Le Zheng Yuhua, afraid that he would blame himself for not being able to find a master, and then do something stupid.

Therefore, the best solution they could think of was to find Le Zhengfang. Le Zhengfang was the only one who dared to accept them, and he was also the best candidate.

However, it is not so easy to go to Le Zhengfang's residence. Most of the masters live outside the teaching office, which means that when they leave the teaching office, they enter the masters' residences, and Le Zhengfang does not live there yet.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of Education, I ran into three masters chatting as they walked out. Fortunately, they didn't notice me.

Because the master's residence was just outside the teaching office, the door of the teaching office was not guarded, so the two of them slipped out relatively easily.

However, when they saw many masters drinking tea and chatting in the yard, the two were almost scared to hide. Fortunately, there was a tree in front of them. Le Zheng Qiming hurriedly pulled Le Zheng Shuiling down.

Among all the masters, there was a figure that stood out particularly. It was a teenager. Le Zheng Shuiling couldn't help but take a look at him.

The young man's name is Le Zhengli. Even though he looks only in his teens, he is a generation older than Le Zhengbo and the others. They have to call him their uncle.

Le Zhengli's ability is still a mystery in Le Zheng. Some say that he just happened to worship the right master, so he is of higher generation. Others say that he has great magical powers and is the best in Le Zheng, but he has always lived outside with his teacher, so no one has seen it with their own eyes.

In a place where many masters gather, it is not easy to find two apprentice Taoists with low magic power, not to mention that there are many masters competing secretly, and their strength is also false. If it is an outsider, it is relatively easier to find.

Le Zhengli's small appearance stood out among the other masters. He sat upright with a book in his hand.

Several masters tried to talk to him on purpose, but he was not enthusiastic and would strike up a conversation. It was obvious that he did not want to attend such gatherings.

Suddenly, he looked over here. Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Shuiling froze in place instantly, not daring to move, just praying silently not to be seen.

Le Zhengli raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, which made Le Zheng Shuiling feel uneasy.

"We must have been discovered. What should we do?"

"Can you guys help me answer a question?"

This was the first time that Le Zhengli took the initiative to speak, and he showed surprise but also enthusiasm.

"Uncle Master, please."

"Yes, yes, we will tell you everything we know."

"Yeah."

Le Zhengbo looked at the disgusting faces of the people in front of him, looked away, picked up the teacup and took two sips.

"Who do you think has the potential to become Mr. Mu's son-in-law?"

This was a hot topic. First of all, no one knew whether Mr. Mu had any offspring, let alone a daughter. Mr. Mu's daughter alone was a hot topic, so naturally he had to ask Le Zhengli about it.

When Le Zheng Shuiling heard the topic about "Mr. Mu's son-in-law", her ears immediately perked up, showing that she really wanted to be one. Le Zheng Qiming had no choice but to turn around and hold her ear and walk out.

Watching them leave, Le Zhengli took a sip of tea.

"We in Lezheng are really out of touch with the news. How can we compete with other families in the Dao League?"

After saying this, Le Zhengli closed the book and stood up. The others could only see him off respectfully.

Since even he had left, Le Zhengbo had no intention of staying, not to mention that the faces of these people in front of him were disgusting.

Le Zhengli seemed to be waiting for him, leaning against the pillar and looking at him.

"Uncle Li."

"To be honest, you are my elders."

"Age has never been a criterion."

Le Zhengbo made a "please" gesture. He could see that this was an invitation for him to walk with him for a while, and he had the same idea.

"The tea party hasn't even ended yet, why are you leaving first?"

"I guess it's the same reason as my uncle."

"Everyone wants to curry favor with Mr. Mu. If someone marries his daughter, it means they will get the entire Mu family. It's natural to have such thoughts about such a good thing."

"I don't care whether what Master Bo Li said is true or not, but their thoughts are really disgusting. They are all either over fifty years old or have wives and children at home, but they still want to be the son-in-law of the Mu family, or at best, the in-laws."

"As far as I know, you are still alone, so you can give it a try."

"Uncle Master, are you making fun of me? If so, isn't Uncle Master more appropriate?"

"Nephew Bo, this old lady Mu had a daughter in her old age, she is the apple of her eye. Now, Miss Mu is only 28 years old, how can you and I covet her?"

Le Zhengbo is very clear that all his "you and me" are not really himself and himself, but refer to some wishful people.

"Uncle Li is right. If there is anyone in our Le Zheng who is a good match for Miss Mu, it would be Hongjun."

"Yes, if they knew, Hongjun would be the most suitable candidate."

Both of them understood what this meant and they were in tacit agreement with each other.

Le Zhengbo also knew that he deliberately created topics to help Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming escape, but he did not expose it.

The two were speechless for a moment.

As soon as she escaped, Le Zheng Shui Ling seemed to have broken free from shackles.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Mu had a daughter."

She was so happy that she felt as if she was Mr. Mu's daughter.

"Want to be a son-in-law? Don't be so wishful thinking. If it's a son, you can still consider becoming a daughter-in-law."

“Tsk tsk tsk, Qi Ming, do you think I want to be the son-in-law of the Mu family?”

"Is not it?"

"I do want to, but unfortunately I have a man's heart and a woman's body. But Qiming, you can give it a try."

"Don't be ridiculous. If outsiders knew that Elder Mu had a daughter, wouldn't the Taoist Alliance be crowded with people proposing marriage? There are many excellent Taoists. Look at me. I don't even have a chance to become a Taoist now, so how can I become someone's son-in-law? If someone really wants to propose marriage, it will probably be Senior Brother Hongjun's job."

"Senior Brother Hongjun is okay, but he listens to that guy too much and doesn't have any opinions of his own."

The two people were walking openly on the road, chatting without taking anything seriously, until something strange happened nearby, which scared them so much that they immediately hid in the haystack. Only then did they remember the purpose of their trip.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.

"Where do you think Aunt Fang will be? Zhuiyuan Pavilion or her own residence?"

"Let's go to the residence first."

"Ah."

The two people went from being open and aboveboard to being sneaky and cautious. They didn't dare to take the main road anymore and always chose secluded paths.
