As soon as the Ji Da sounded, the daughter-in-law made a brilliant appearance!

Chapter 133: Taoist sister, you must be responsible for me!

On the way back, Zhi Nian glared at Shui Yuci coquettishly. The look seemed to be neither angry nor resentful, with a hint of coquettishness.

Shui Yuci couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and an unconcealable smile quietly crept onto her face.

She subconsciously touched her nose, as if trying to hide her inner joy.

Shui Yuci took the hand of her beloved and slowly walked towards the direction where Lin Yu was.

At this moment, Lin Yu was concentrating on making beggar's chicken. Seeing the two people return, he did not ask too many questions, but simply said: "Senior sister is back, Miss Zhi, please wait a moment, the beggar's chicken will be ready soon."

Zhi Nian sat obediently on a tree root not far from the fire, fiddling with the wooden stick in his hand boredly, scratching the ground back and forth.

A gentle breeze blew by, and a strand of hair on her forehead fluttered in the wind, gently swaying by her ear, which was very touching.

Shui Yuci's gaze never left the girl in front of her. She stared at Zhi Nian quietly, and the sense of satisfaction in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

That feeling was like a seed of happiness that took root in her heart, and now it has grown into a towering tree!

She couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently push the girl's hair behind her ears, her movements gentle and delicate.

In the dim light of the fire, the girl's face looked particularly gentle and beautiful, as fresh and refined as an ink painting. Shui Yuci looked at this scene, and her heart softened.

The system's voice rang in Zhinian's ears.

Current task object: Shui Yuci

Current love value: 85%

Current host's health status: 80%

After hearing the system's broadcast, Zhi Nian raised his head, and his eyes happened to meet Shui Yuci's. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, turned slightly, revealing a hint of shyness.

Then, she gently lowered her eyes, as if she dared not look directly into Shui Yuci's burning gaze.

Shui Yuci couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart. She felt Zhi Nian's delicate emotions, but Lin Yu did not notice the changes between them.

Lin Yu was seen holding the hilt of the sword and smashing it hard against the mound of earth.

Suddenly, a rich aroma of chicken wafted out.

"Senior Sister, Miss Zhi, come and try it!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly.

However, Zhi Nian and Shui Yuci still sat there quietly, not moving at all.

Seeing this, Lin Yu called out again: "Senior Sister, Miss Zhi, don't just stand there!"

At this time, Zhi Nian came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his chaotic thoughts.

She took out some biscuits from the packages carried by several people. After all, one beggar's chicken could not satisfy the appetite of three people, so it still needed some dry food.

The night is still long and endless.

-

Near noon the next day, Zhi Nian and his group finally walked out of the dense forest.

When they passed by a small village, they met Qian Zijing who had just returned home for a break. He was wearing a blue shirt, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were steady and powerful.

Qian Zijing was just about to return to the county magistrate's mansion to continue his work, but he unexpectedly ran into the noble man who had been so kind to him at the entrance of the village!

His face was full of joy, and he hurried forward and bowed deeply: "Qian Zi greets the Taoist priest!"

Lin Yu helped Qian Zijing up with a smile, while Shui Yuci on the side stared at Qian Zijing's face, noticing the broad space between his brows and his imposing bearing. She thought that this old friend must have successfully solved his problem and might even be about to be promoted.

So, the three of them walked forward, chatting and laughing.

Lin Yu asked with concern: "Brother Qian, how are you these days?"

Qian Zijing looked down at his clothes. Although they were just a plain blue shirt made of coarse cloth, they were much better than the old clothes that were full of patches.

He smiled gratefully and replied, "Thanks to the Taoist priest for helping me back then, I can live a stable life today.

Now my career is going smoothly, and my family is safe and healthy. I will do my best to ensure that the villagers and people in the area under my jurisdiction can live and work in peace and tranquility! "

At the end, Qian Zijing's eyes became sharp and firm, as if he was swearing to heaven and earth.

Lin Yu patted his shoulder with satisfaction, giving him full affirmation and encouragement: "I firmly believe that Brother Qian will be able to achieve his wish!"

-

After saying goodbye to everyone in the county town, Zhi Nian and his group went to an inn for dinner, and a burst of noise broke the peace.

I saw a group of people rushing into the door of the inn. The leader was a little fat and wearing heavy armor. He walked steadily towards the dining table where Zhi Nian and others were.

He looked extremely respectful, as if he was filled with awe for the person he was about to meet. "I guess this must be the famous Taoist Shuiyu! I am entrusted by the general to invite Taoist Shuiyu to the general's mansion for a chat."

Lin Yu noticed that his senior sister did not move, so he chose to stay put and continued to eat.

Zhi Nian raised his head, glanced at the man who was bowing, and then quickly looked away.

Shui Yuci completely ignored everything that was happening in front of her, picked up a piece of food for Zhi Nian, and said gently: "Eat something quickly, you look so thin."

After that, she focused on the food in front of her again.

The three of them acted so calm and composed, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.

Instead, the other guests in the inn looked here curiously.

They secretly wondered who this woman called Taoist Priest Shuiyu was.

Why would even people from the General's Mansion come in person to invite us?

Even the innkeeper's face instantly turned extremely ugly when he heard the three words "General's Mansion", and he hurriedly trotted downstairs.

The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly and said, "General Li, how come you have time to come to our shop today? Please take a seat, have a cup of tea before you leave."

However, General Li still maintained his original posture of bending over and lowering his head, his face as cold as ice, without moving at all, as if his whole body was frozen, as if he was just waiting for Shui Yuci to speak.

As long as Shui Yuci didn't say anything, he would never get up and leave, not even move.

This scene made the shopkeeper extremely anxious and at a loss, and he secretly complained in his heart: What on earth is going on?

When the people around saw this, they all started whispering to each other, but some timid people were afraid of getting into trouble, so they wisely chose to leave first to protect themselves.

Zhi Nian had already eaten a lot of dates on the way, so he was the first to put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Shui Yuci noticed that Zhi Nian was no longer eating, so she turned her head, looked at her deeply, and asked softly, "Are you not eating anymore?"

Zhi Nian nodded obediently and replied: “Well, I ate a lot of dates on the way, so I’m not too hungry now.”

After hearing this, Shui Yuci didn't say anything more. She just reached out and picked up some dishes and put them in her bowl, her movements light and graceful.

Only after she finished the last bit of food in the bowl did she look up at General Li, who was still bent over, with a cold tone.

"What's the matter?"

"You'll know when you get there, Taoist priest. Please come in!" General Li said as he extended his hand to the outside as a gesture of invitation.

Shui Yuci wiped her mouth, drank some tea, and looked at Zhi Nian beside her.

She said, "Wait for us in the inn first. Lin Yu and I will be back soon."

Zhi Nian nodded, watching the cold figure leave with General Li and his party and disappear from his sight.

Lin Yu took a sip of tea and followed happily.

It doesn’t matter. This is not the first time I’ve been hurt.

Just get used to it...

The world abuses me thousands of times, but I treat the world like my first love...
