Chapter 101 A happy gathering
The more Shen Jingxuan looked at Li Luo, the angrier she became, but at the same time, she felt sorry for him.
If he hadn't been stupid, would he have been made a laborer by the Great Elder for so many years? He didn't even have time to go out on the street.
She looked at Yun Qingmo: "Amo, if you have anything to say, tell Li Luo and let him help you arrange it."
"Okay." Yun Qingmo nodded with a smile.
Shen Jingxuan glared at Li Luo: "A Luo, help A Mo get things done."
Suddenly thinking of the silver, Shen Jingxuan looked at Li Luo and laughed: "A Luo, if you can't do well this time."
"The money for the old man's travels will be deducted from your monthly salary. I'll be waiting for your good news."
Li Luo's eyes widened instantly. A Xuan was so mean.
It was clearly her who promised to give the Great Elder money to go traveling, but she actually asked him to pay for it. How could that be possible?
Li Luo was just about to argue with Shen Jingxuan, but Shen Jingxuan was nowhere to be seen.
Now he could only try his best to do what she asked him to do in order to keep his money.
Li Luo and Yun Qingmo discussed the plan for a whole day at Qianyu Chamber of Commerce and finally agreed on it. Only then did he slowly put his worries about the money aside.
He ran all the way to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, wanting to tell Shen Jingxuan the matter as soon as possible to dispel her thoughts about the money.
But when he arrived at Shen Jingxuan's yard, he found nothing and didn't even see Shen Jingxuan's maid.
Shen Jingxuan was in the courtyard next door at this time, holding someone with one hand. Her eyebrows were curved and she was smiling from ear to ear.
"Master, Second Master, why are you back?" Shen Jingxuan asked with a smile.
Old Xue blew his beard and said, "Are you waiting for me to return to my sect?"
This girl has become wild at heart. He wants to wait for her to return to her master's sect. He is worried that the day when he is gone, that little girl won't even go back to take a look.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Master, I am even happier that you are here. You can see me every day from now on."
She also wanted to return to her master's sect, but things kept happening.
But now that the masters are here, she can study good things again.
Old Xue snorted and sat down aside. Old Xu glanced at him and said, "Who are you showing your ugly face to? You don't want to come. You can go back now."
"Xuan'er, come to Second Master. There is no one guarding the sect. Let him go back and look after the sect."
Elder Xue glared at Elder Xu: "Don't even think about it. If you want to go back, go back by yourself."
It has been a long time since he last saw his good disciple. Just because he complained a little, the stinky old man wanted him to leave. It was impossible.
Shen Jingxuan came to Old Xu and said, "Second Master, aren't the brothers here? Why are you watching over the sect?"
As soon as Shen Jingxuan finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door. Listening carefully, there seemed to be quite a few people.
"Junior sister, Third Senior Brother is here." As soon as Third Senior Brother's voice fell, he arrived beside Shen Jingxuan.
The second and eldest brothers followed closely behind and walked towards her.
Shen Jingxuan looked at them in confusion. What kind of a good day was today? Why were so many people from the sect present?
She looked at them in surprise: "Brothers, is there any happy event today? Why are you all here?"
The eldest senior brother said gently, "No, it's just that we haven't seen the youngest junior sister return to the sect, so we came to visit her."
Before Shen Jingxuan could say anything, Old Xue saw a few brats surrounding Shen Jingxuan, and they didn't even say hello to him, his master, who was sitting there, and he started to lose his temper again.
"You little brat, come here. The two of us old guys are here, why are you here just now?"
The third senior brother stood silently behind Shen Jingxuan, as if he was afraid that Mr. Xue would discover him.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at him sideways and roughly knew the reason.
Her third senior brother was of an eccentric nature. It seemed that he had not been out of the sect for a long time. Everything he saw on the road was strange to him, which delayed his journey.
"Yan'er, are you playing too much again?" Old Xu looked at the person behind Shen Jingxuan.
How could he not know the temperaments of several people?
Although he and Master Xue had three apprentices, in reality only Xuan'er and Yan'er could be considered his apprentices.
Ye'er is Master Xue's apprentice. Although he accepts all his apprentices himself, he and Master Xue teach them together.
Neither of them was stingy, and no matter what they were taught, the three of them learned together.
Knowing their temperament very well, how could I not see why they were late?
"Master, I..." The third senior brother was interrupted by someone as soon as he opened his mouth to speak.
He couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was interrupted by the visitor, otherwise he didn't know how his master would punish him.
"Ah Xuan, I'm back."
Li Luo stepped into the room and walked straight towards Shen Jingxuan, followed by three elders and Shen Xinglin.
"Sister." Shen Xinglin called Shen Jingxuan obediently and stood beside the third elder looking at her.
Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect the third old man to be so responsible. She didn't have time before, so she asked him to teach Shen Xinglin martial arts. It turned out that he still remembered.
Seeing that there was no place left to sit in the house, Mr. Xu invited everyone to come to the yard.
Shen Jingxuan introduced the identities of the three elders and two masters to each other, and the five old men got to know each other.
In the distance, Li Luo and Shen Xinglin were sparring with each other. The three senior brothers were standing on the periphery watching. Occasionally, the third senior brother would cheer when he was happy.
The old men around me were chatting or drinking tea.
Only Shen Jingxuan stood there, looking particularly redundant, so she turned around and left.
As she walked, she raised her arms with her five fingers spread out, squinted her eyes and looked at the sunlight through the gaps, and she couldn't stop smiling.
It would be fine if I could live like this forever. With them by my side, every day in the future will be wonderful.
Shen Jingxuan returned to Yuxuan Courtyard and told Chuntao to find Mr. Shen and tell him that the masters had returned home, then she returned to her room.
As soon as I sat down, Li Yong and Yang Rui came in: "Miss, Shen Jiande has been released."
Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly: "Released so soon?"
Logically speaking, unless the person who actually stole the jade pendant was caught, or the Regent did not intend to pursue the matter, why would he be released suddenly?
"I just saw the police pushing him out of the government office on the street. He was indeed released."
"Do you know why?" Shen Jingxuan was puzzled. She knew that no one had stolen the jade pendant, and the King of Captures would not give in easily.
Yang Rui said: "I heard from people near the government office that the Crown Prince went to the government office first, and Shen Jiande was released not long after the Crown Prince left."
Shen Jingxuan kept thinking about what Li Yong and Yang Rui said and did not continue asking questions for a while.
Seeing that Shen Jingxuan was in deep thought, Li Yong and Yang Rui did not disturb her any further and closed the door when they left.
Xie Zihan? Wasn't he fed up with Shen Jiande's family? Why would he personally go and vouch for Shen Jiande to get him out?
It was obvious that he didn't even bother to say a word to help Shen Jiande last time in the yamen, but now he suddenly changed his attitude, which made the always perceptive Shen Jingxuan realize that something was wrong.
If two people who dislike each other can get back together, it is either because they have common interests and need to cooperate, or because they have a common enemy to face.
But Xie Lingxiao had already reported to the emperor and dismissed Shen Jiande from his post, and as a small official in the Dali Temple, it was impossible for him to be a help to Xie Zihan.
Could it be that Shen Jiande has something on Xie Zihan and is using it to threaten him?
