Chapter 27: The Tree Shade Sways, the Moonlight Moves, the Two Walk

  The sisters all took a look and discussed it among themselves: "Indeed, she is the mistress of the main house, no doubt about it."

  A girl knocked on the door and heard Xiaoxi respond: "Who is it?"

  "It's come to find the white gentleman." Xiao Xi opened the door, and the white gentleman was playing chess with Yun Shu and Yu Xi in the room. He raised his head and saw Long Jing, first stunned, then his face turned pale, and he became flustered. Long Jing smiled and said: "It's not easy to find you, it's hard to find you, but you..." Before he finished speaking, that white gentleman suddenly flipped over and jumped down from the second floor!

  A group of girls suddenly lost their composure and rushed to the window to look outside, but they didn't see even half a person's shadow.

  Longjing smiled slightly: "It's actually so scary." Turning back, the little boy was still standing in his original place, trembling all over with fear.

  "Alas, sir, you are indeed a man without responsibility. Now, I can only take the child back." As he spoke, he took the child and left. Mr. Mo hurried over and bowed, saying: "Madam, it's an honor to have you visit. I apologize for not coming out to greet you sooner. I've investigated the expenses of White's household and found that they were all prepaid, with no discrepancies."

  "That's even better." Longjing smiled and said: "I've disturbed you, I'll take my leave now. Everyone, stay behind." Then he took the little boy out of the Smoke Rain Pavilion.

  I took advantage of everyone's discussion and quietly followed them out.

  Longjing's gentle and elegant figure walked towards the back garden, I followed closely behind her into the Dragon God Temple. Upon entering, Longjing had transformed back to his original appearance as a young master, smiling at the little boy: "This deity asks you, does your family's master have the guts to come to this deity's domain to cause trouble? Shouldn't he be able to engage in a good match with this deity? Why did he see this deity and flee like a mouse seeing a cat, climbing over the wall and leaving?"

  That little boy looked extremely afraid of Longjing, kneeling down and trembling all over, still refusing to speak.

  The Dragon Well gazed at the young boy and furrowed his brow: "How is it that your master is so stingy, to the point of even taking away your inner elixir?" The Supreme Soul Seal Master

  The melon seeds heard this and, unwilling to be left out, shouted loudly: "Peel skin! Peel skin!"

  Longjing waved his hand to shoo away the melon slices and said, "Since that's the case, then you can lead us to find your master's true body. I will definitely return the inner elixir to you and give you justice."

  The little boy didn't move an inch, obviously loyal to his master.

  Longjing scolded: "Hmph! I didn't expect you to be loyal and righteous, a good example for Guapian."

  Melon slice listened, very unconvinced: "Melon slice is so loyal! So loyal!" As he spoke, a bird's droppings fell on the little boy's head: "Wooden stake, wooden stake!"

  "Get out, get out, get out..." Longjing glared with her eyes: "You flat-haired beast, you're getting more and more arrogant. I'll wrap my face on a certain day and fry your legs in oil to eat!"

  The child is so good-tempered, and yet was bullied like this by Gua Pian, without even lifting his head. I couldn't help but feel a little heartache too.

  Longjing rolled his eyes and said: "The fragrance of your master, I'm not saying I haven't smelled it before, but the time has come, and soon I won't be able to smell it..."

  "Why does the fragrance still have a time limit?" I asked in a hurry: "What kind of monster is the owner of their family? Why is it so fragrant?"

  Longjing furrowed her brow, not even acknowledging me, and muttered to herself: "Tonight there's wind..." Then she quickly turned to smile at me: "Foolish child, tonight you can bring a bucket of tung oil with Ben Shen."

  "What does the Dragon God want with tung oil?"

  Dharma Master

  "At night, you'll naturally know, I'll take you to catch monsters." A hint of cunning flashed in Longjing's eyes.

  Tung oil? I muttered to myself, Dragon God really knows how to keep people in suspense.

  In the Yanyu Pavilion, there were all sorts of discussions. Some said, "The strong wind has blown down the wutong tree; others will naturally discuss its pros and cons." With Bai Gongzi's coming and going, Ruo Creek Young Lady and Beiluo Young Lady became the laughing stock of the other sisters because they smashed their zithers and fell ill. Yunshu Young Lady and Yuxi Young Lady, as the ultimate winners, were very pleased with themselves: "If that lady hadn't come to fetch him, Bai Gongzi would still be in the Flower Hall drinking wine with us!"

  Mr. Mo still didn't know that the golden leaves were fake, but instead smiled and said: "Fortunately, the lady arrived in time, if she had been a little later, it would have been too late to teach that young master a lesson, and there would be no way to get it back!"

  Mr. Mo laughed too early.

  At night, I took advantage of the emptiness and secretly moved a bottle of tung oil from home to Longshen Temple while my brother was not prepared.

  The little boy still sat silently on the cushion, while the parrot hung itself upside down from the beam, flapping its wings in disgust at the little boy and dropping a lot of bright green feathers.

  Longjing saw Tongyou and smiled: "Very good, just wait and see the excitement!"

  He took out tung oil and suddenly scattered the child's hair, but instead went up. Then, he actually lit a candle and set the child's hair on fire!

  I was startled and hastily jumped over to fetch the clear water used for offering fresh flowers in the main hall, and splashed it on the little boy's head. The little boy bit his teeth, showing a painful expression, but still didn't utter a word.

  I clenched my fists and said, "Dragon God, you claim to be kind and compassionate, how can you use severe punishment and torture, like bullying a melon slice, wanting to burn the young child to death?"

  "Wait and see," said Longjing, his mouth twitching upwards. He pulled Xiao Tong'er along with him as he walked out of the main hall. I was afraid he would again use severe torture to extract a confession from Xiao Tong'er, so I hastily followed them. [Xian San] Red Clothes

  As expected, the wind started outside, and the whole yard was filled with drifting willow catkins, poplar tree hair, and petals of various faded flowers. Longjing took a deep sniff, strolled forward, passed several corners, and in front of him was a large forest by the banks of the Rouge River.

  Those trees in the forest are all hundreds of years old, growing lushly. Longjing smiled slightly: "So it's here."

  I took a look, and in the woods, a wisp of blue smoke slowly floated out. Longjing walked in that direction, getting closer and closer, and the unique fragrance of White Peony became stronger and stronger. Finally, Longjing stopped in front of a large pagoda tree with white flowers all over it.

  But look at the big locust tree, there are several people hugging it so thick, and the tree is full of heavy flower clusters. The fragrance hits me and I feel refreshed. I said how did this fragrance become so familiar? Unexpectedly, it's the fragrance of locust blossoms!

  The little boy hung his head in dismay and said nothing.

  Longjing smiled and said: "Bai Gongzi, are you willing to come out and meet an old friend?"

  No one responded. Longjing smiled and said, "You're still the same, you don't eat soft food, but insist on eating hard food." After that, he poured a bottle of tung oil all over the old locust tree: "This is tung oil, I suppose you can smell it too. As fellow trees, why are you in such a hurry to burn? Do you have to wait for the fire god to ignite?"

  As expected, the white gentleman floated down from among the flowers, with a look of regret: "I only realized that things had gone wrong when I saw you. It's all because this young master believed in rumors and almost lost his life. It's really not worth it. If you hadn't caught this young master's little boy, you wouldn't have been able to find him either."

  "What's with that smell of yours? Can't even tell what it is. Acting all high and mighty now, huh?" Longjing chuckled and said: "How come you came from the Western Territory without even visiting an old friend like me?"
