After Becoming the Hero’s Ex-fiancée - Chapter 120

[Chapter 120 White Shopkeeper]

Cui Wang waved away the hidden formation.

The noon sun pierced through the green shades and illuminated the alleyway. In the daytime, the alleyway was not too narrow, but too secluded.

Zheng Wan squinted and looked at the sky:

“It’s almost noon.”

She spread out her hand towards Cui Wang, her fingers were as slender as green onions, and her palm was white and tender. Cui Wang was stunned and raised his hand to put it on, but Zheng Wan avoided it.

She reminded in a soft and waxy voice:

“Sound Transmission Jade Talisman.”

Cui Wang retracted his hand and stopped moving.

He resisted with silence, and Zheng Wan was not annoyed, so she stood there so pretty, with one hand stretched out for a long time.

Occasionally, at the entrance of the alley, there may be the sound of hawkers walking down the street, mixed with the sound of buggy cars rushing by. Cui Wang’s eyes slid over the corner of her smiling mouth and landed on her eyes again.

Memory is a mirror that constantly contrasts the past and reflects reality.

In the sound of a crash, Cui Wang finally understood what those eyes without guard, jealousy, and desire looked like.

It was a sparkling mirror lake, but the lake was facing him, and there was no more light.

Cui Wang tightened his chin, and after a long time, he took out the jade talisman from the storage bag and handed it over:

“In exchange for the pony that man gave you.”

Zheng Wan still looked at him with a smile:

“Why does Daojun play with the temper of a child?”

“exchange.”

Zheng Wan refused, and finally Cui Wang gave in.

He gave the jade talisman to Zheng Wan, and the two walked out of the alley side by side.

The lights on the side of the road had already been turned off, and they were bare, but the crowd was still bustling. As soon as the two of them showed up, there was a burst of whispers, with a sight that seemed to be absent.

Just a few words:

“That man has such a handsome face!”

“No, no, I think that the woman is more beautiful. She burns like a flower, and is full of peaches and plums. It’s wonderful.”

“Don’t look at it, people will be annoyed.”

Seeing that a girl accidentally bumped into a pillar because she was greedy for looking at Cui Wang and turned her head frequently, Zheng Wan couldn’t help laughing out loud:

“Daojun is very charming.”

Cui Wang released the pressure expressionlessly, until the whole street was completely deserted by him, and he said:

“True Monarch is not bad either.”

Just as she was talking, a Yuan Talisman suddenly floated in front of Zheng Wan. She reached out to pick it up, and when it came from the shopkeeper, her face became happy:

“I’m sorry, Daojun, I still have some things to do, so I won’t participate in the evening banquet.”

After the grand ceremony of the Venerable, in order to celebrate with the various sessions, the Liushui Banquet at the Huixu Gate will be held for three days and three nights. Today is the second day.

“You want to go to Yuzhen Building? Shopkeeper Bai?”

Cui Wang was not surprised, “Let’s go together.”

“Daojun also knows?”

Zheng Wan was stunned for a moment, but when she thought of the identity of this person as the chief secretary of Hei Tieling, she felt that she should know, “Don’t bother Daojun.”

She refused, but since Cui Wang made up his mind to ask her to answer him, he naturally refused to withdraw. Zheng Wan saw that he couldn’t beat him, so he let it go. He sent the voice transmission to Shu Jin, and Shu Jin didn’t know what he was doing, so he hurriedly took it. , Dao Sheng saw her at the evening banquet, and cut her off before she could even hear her words.

Zheng Wan had to go to Yuzhen Building with Cui Wang.

In front of the Yuzhen Building, the shopkeeper stood on tiptoe and couldn’t help looking out. Looking from a distance, he saw a pair of bi men coming. The man was wearing a black cloak, only the hat was taken off, and the pure white robe was exposed as he walked.

The woman is dressed in a sky-feather streamer, and she can see the butterfly shadow fluttering from a distance, and she can’t help but say:

Again, an inexhaustible primeval stone.

My heart felt sour, but I felt that the woman’s figure was very familiar, I was stunned, and hurriedly greeted me when I reacted:

“Zheng Zhenren, why did you arrive so late…”

When he got closer, he was overjoyed and handed over again and again:

“Congratulations to the real person Gao Sheng, ah, no, look at my mouth, it’s the real emperor.”

Zheng Wan smiled and called out:

“On behalf of the treasurer.”

Only then did the shopkeeper pay attention to the black cloak next to Zheng Wan, and he was stunned again when he saw it. He hurriedly lowered his eyes, and was annoyed to find that there were six small swords with hidden gold patterns on the robe.

Guixumen Six Realms Xiaojian means that he is a Taoist.

Thinking of the indescribable handsome face of this immortal, and the anecdote that once appeared in the Canglan newspaper, it is not difficult to guess who this person is.

Thinking in my heart that the two were reconciled, the shopkeeper nodded and bowed again:

“I don’t know that Li Wei Daojun is here, and I look at Daojun Haihan for a little bit of negligence.”

Cui Wang made a light “No”.

Zheng Wan smiled and said:

“On behalf of the shopkeeper, Daojun and I have come to see shopkeeper Bai, is the shopkeeper available?”

Speaking of shopkeepers in Yuzhen Building, it means shopkeeper Bai.

“Yes, yes, the shopkeeper is here…”

Before the shopkeeper’s words were finished, he saw these two coming and going like the wind and disappeared in front of his eyes. Turning around and looking back, there were still people, so that the last two words “receiving guests” were cut off in the middle.

He shook his head:

“Young man, he is just impatient…”

Before Zheng Wan approached the small yard where shopkeeper Bai often stayed, Cui Wang pulled her back:

“Someone.”

There is an unwritten custom in the Xuan Cang Realm. When entering someone else’s territory, one needs to put away the soul, otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation to the other party.

When Zheng Wan entered the Yuzhen Building, she naturally received her soul consciousness, and was surprised when she heard the words:

“Anyone in there?”

Cui Wang nodded. The two of them were about to leave the yard when they heard a violent quarrel coming from the house. Shopkeeper Bai’s hoarse and ambiguous voice fluctuated high and low, but the other party only responded once or twice—

Wan’s expression was strange, if she heard correctly, her voice would be like… her master?

“Mr. Zixiu Daoist.”

Cui Wang came to a conclusion.

The two looked at each other and turned around at the same time. Listening to the content of the argument, they seemed to be at odds with the old lover. Just thinking about the goose-skinned hair of the shopkeeper Bai and the beautiful appearance of the master, they really didn’t match.

Unfortunately, it is too late to quit now.

Zheng Wan only felt that a gust of wind passed, and Cui Wang pulled herself to the side of the column. He set up a concealment formation, and then concealed the figures of the two, and the door opened with a creak.

The master came out with a calm face. The smiling face had a hint of anger, and there was no usual laughter and scolding, which made Zheng Wan feel unfamiliar: she had never seen such a master before.

Shopkeeper Bai stepped out of the threshold on crutches, and the crutches landed with a “tuk-tuk-tuk” sound.

She still looks like an old woman, but she can see that she has been slightly groomed today, with a dark purple ball patterned robe covering the outside, her white hair on the temples neatly shoved, and a cane:

“Zixiu, stop!”

Daojun Zixiu paused in his footsteps, and when he took another step, his robes turned upside down and flew faster.

Zheng Wan subconsciously hid in there, but found that Cui Wang was covering her whole body.

She was so blocked by Cui Wang between the pillars and the eaves. The shadow of the eaves and Cui Wang’s figure shrouded her, covering her whole. There is no other way to go.

Cui Wang looked at her without blinking.

Zheng Wan motioned him to leave with her eyes, but Cui Wang didn’t move.

In the stalemate, shopkeeper Bai in the courtyard said again:

“Zixiu, after so many years, you are still blaming me.”

“Strange?” Daojun Zixiu stopped, he turned around, “Bai Yu, you have been hiding from me all your life, since you have been hiding, why not hide more thoroughly? I never knew that you were hiding in this jade. At the foot of Qingmen, in Fengwu City.”

Shopkeeper Bai’s sneer:

“I fear you.”

“Afraid of me?” Zixiu smiled suddenly, and he softened his voice, “Why are you afraid of me? Bai Yu, you know, I will never hurt you.”

“It won’t hurt me,” said the shopkeeper Bai, “but you hurt Senior Brother Zhan! You hurt Hongyan!”

“In order to get close to me, you used every possible means to deceive me and play with me. First, you approached Senior Brother Zhan and then Hongyan. You let them all die. How can you tell me not to be afraid of you?”

Zi Xiu’s face was disheartened like Zheng Wan had never seen before, and he seemed too lazy to argue with her:

“Since the conclusion is made, why should it appear?”

He had no more thoughts to stop, and turned around to step out of the yard, but he heard shopkeeper Bai say:

“Daughter! Zixiu, we have a daughter!”

Daojun Zixiu turned around and said:

“What did you say?”

Zheng Wan was horrified, the corpse turned out to be the daughter of the shopkeeper Bai and the master?

The painting styles of the two are so different that she can’t think of one. After all, standing together is like the difference between a grandmother and a little grandson.

Looking up again, he saw that Cui Wang was still looking at her quietly.

He seemed to be ignorant of everything that happened in the outside world, and there was only one of her in You Qi’s pupils.

But Zheng Wan’s heart is like still water.

In the past, she would be a little complacent, give birth to some self-confidence, and even secretly happy, but now, there is nothing left. He said “reluctantly” and planned all her delusions about love.

“daughter?”

Daojun Zixiu stepped directly in front of shopkeeper Bai, “Where’s the daughter?”

“She’s dead.”

Shopkeeper Bai said with an expressionless face, only with tears on his face, “She’s dead, Zixiu.”

“Dead?” Zixiu’s face was as white as paper after the ups and downs of the day, “She died?”

“After I go, no one will offer incense to her again, Zixiu, I asked you to come, but I want you to offer her a stick of incense during the New Year’s holiday—”

“you shut up.”

Zixiu pointed at her, and the finger exposed under the wide sleeve seemed to be stained with blood, “Bai Yu, hello, you are very well!”

After all, it has disappeared in place.

Shopkeeper Bai’s Chi Chi stood for a long time before he said to the back of the corridor:

“Since the guests are here, come out.”

Zheng Wan, who was called Po Xingzang, couldn’t help being a little nervous, and bumped into the embarrassing incident of the host. Although it was unintentional, it was not good after all.

If in the past, she would still be angry with Cui Wang, but now she felt that she couldn’t blame him.

The hidden formation set up in a hurry, if the master has some hidden methods, it is not uncommon to be seen through.

She went out of hiding:

“The treasurer.”

Shopkeeper Bai wiped the corners of his eyes and didn’t look at the male cultivator who came out behind Zheng Wan. He turned around, and tapped the ground with his crutches and returned to the room.

She said:

“come in.”

Zheng Wan followed and stepped into the threshold, and then looked at the old woman, it was a little strange.

Storekeeper Bai’s calmness:

“I made you laugh.”

“sit.”

She got up and made a cup of tea for each of them.

Zheng Wan was on the left and Cui Wang was on the right. The two sat together on a mahogany chair in front of the screen.

Shopkeeper Bai looked at her, then at the Leng Jun man on the right, and asked:

“Who is this……”

The energy in the man’s body is like the sea, unfathomable.

“Li Wei Dao-jun.”

Zheng Wan introduced that the shopkeeper Bai nodded indifferently. Now that she has reached the end of her lifespan, she has long since looked at these things. She only said, “Mr. Dao is really negligent in coming here.”

“It’s okay.”

Cui Wang said.

After greeting from the two sides, Zheng Wan explained her intention in the future and handed over the storage bag with the corpse.

Shopkeeper Bai sat blankly for a while, with a look on his face like crying and laughing, and finally turned into a choked sob:

“Thank you sir.”

The veins in her hand holding the storage bag burst out, dry skin drooping on a thin wrist, and the old man has spots on it:

“I have no regrets in my life.”

Shopkeeper Bai took back the storage bag and saw that Zheng Wan looked at her with curiosity, and said:

“When Zhenjun came in, I knew you were a disciple of Zixiu, so I specially asked you to come in and meet. You are quite similar to the former Zixiu… in temperament.”

The shopkeeper Bai took the initiative to talk about the master, indicating that he didn’t care much, so Zheng Wan asked along the way.

“Zixiu, he…”

Shopkeeper Bai fell into memory, “He was afraid that I would dislike his identity as a member of the Yuqing family, so he used a pseudonym to make friends with my senior brother. My brother and I were childhood sweethearts, and the master was the master, and we made a marriage contract…”

Shopkeeper Bai didn’t hide much, but after a while, Zheng Wan knew the outline of the story.

In short, it’s a story of robbery. The story of the pit viper pretending to be another lamb in order to get close to a lamb, and taking the opportunity to poison the lark and the bull one by one with the lamb, sounds a bit sad.

But according to Zheng Wan’s understanding of Shizun, although he is a little out of character, he is really an open-minded and informal person.

“Did the lamb misunderstand?”

“It doesn’t matter if you misunderstand or don’t misunderstand it,” said the shopkeeper Bai. “Emotions based on deceit and lies are like this moth-eaten lantern fruit, which is bright and beautiful on the outside, but rotten on the inside.”

“Not long.”

she said slowly.

Zheng Wan glanced at Cui Wang, but she guessed that he was also looking at her, she looked away, but Cui Wang said:

“not necessarily.”

“It was the shopkeeper who gave up first.”

he said slowly.

“If Dao-Jun is me, what should I do?”

Shopkeeper Bai couldn’t think of another possibility.

“The shopkeeper said he wanted to let go, but he gave birth to Zixiu’s daughter. He said he wanted to leave, but hid in Fengwu City, which was closest to him.”

Cui Wang seemed to wake up from a big dream.

After a long time, he said:

“Since you can’t struggle, why don’t you follow your heart, want what you want, and take what you want.”

Shopkeeper Bai looked at him, and suddenly laughed and cried:

“Lao Shen has been stubborn with himself all his life, but he didn’t expect a child in his twenties to see through. But what about the lives of people caught in the middle? If you can’t go back, you won’t be able to go back a long time ago.”

The thin white-haired old woman was nestled on the wide seat, like a dead piece of wood.

Silently.

Cui Wang and Zheng Wan quietly withdrew.
