Chapter 726: Habaek’s “Bride”
Afterwards, the imperial envoy was seen off.
The person responsible for driving people out was Lin Chen.
Lin Chen, who behaved quite upright in front of his senior and junior sisters, had a fake smile in front of the imperial envoy.
He simply said, "Our sect does not allow outsiders to stay overnight," and sent the imperial envoy away.
He turned his head and glanced at Xie Yuan vaguely.
That look was like a guard dog that had chased away the bad guy and turned to its owner for praise.
Xie Yuan ignored him and just lowered his head to talk to Shi Li.
"You and Ah Heng should have a good time when you go to Kyoto. We won't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either."
Shi Li was so moved by the senior sister that she kept nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
Ling Heng stood alone at the side, looking angry but unable to speak.
The master looked at his two disappointing disciples, sighed deeply, and suddenly stood up and waved to Shi Li.
"Little Lizhi, come with me, I will give you a talisman."
Everyone in this sect likes to call Shi Li "Little Litchi".
Hearing the master's call, Shi Li walked over without thinking and followed the master into the room.
The master took out a yellow talisman written with cinnabar from a low cabinet and handed it to her while speaking as if in a casual conversation.
"I heard that Habaek was born in a white shell. Is that true?"
"Ah, it's true."
Shi Li was not on guard at all. When he took the yellow talisman, his hand stiffened slightly and he looked at his master in shock.
Her identity was revealed?!
"I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen a female Habaek. How interesting."
The master didn't think what he said was so shocking. He just looked at Shi Li with a smile, as friendly as an ordinary elder.
"Is it okay to be away from the river where you were born for so long?"
"Uh, never mind."
Shi Li didn't dare to move at all. She stood there like a prisoner on trial, fearing that her master would take out a golden platinum and take her in like Fahai took in the White Snake.
The master saw her fear and touched his head helplessly.
"Don't be afraid, little Lizhi. We only catch evil spirits that harm people. You are He Bo, half a god. We can't and won't catch you."
Is that right?
Shi Li blinked, a little confused, then thought of a serious problem, bit her lip, and mustered up the courage to look at her master.
"Little Dao...Does Ling Heng also know that I am He Bo?"
Woo woo woo, she seems to be too embarrassed to face people.
"He..." The master smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "He only knows that you are not an ordinary person, but he doesn't know that you are Habaek."
Well, it’s no different than knowing.
Shi Li's cheeks were burning and she didn't even know how she got out.
After leaving the room, I ran into Ling Heng again in the yard.
"You have to get up early tomorrow, why don't you go and rest?"
Ling Heng was waiting for her here specifically, but when he saw her, he didn't know what to say, and ended up saying only this meaningless sentence.
Shi Li raised her head and looked at him.
The faint moonlight fell on the boy's black hair, like a layer of hazy light powder.
Thinking that Ling Heng had been playing dumb all the way, Shi Li felt ashamed and angry. Without saying a word, she turned around and ran back to the guest room.
Close the door heavily.
Ling Heng was left standing there in a daze.
[Hahahaha~]
【Hahaha~~~】
【Hahahahahahahaha~~~】
[I can’t do it anymore. All the good deeds I’ve done today have been wasted. But I still want to laugh~]
Who would have thought that Shi Li, who had been carefully hiding her identity, had actually been seen through long ago.
The comments on the barrage rushed to mock Shi Li inhumanely.
Shi Li, however, had no intention of paying attention to them. She buried her head in the bed, covering it with the quilt, leaving only a pair of red ears exposed.
All that flashed through my head were the scenes of myself pretending to be an ordinary person, sometimes shouting "I'm tired" and sometimes forcing myself to hurry and sweat.
Ahhhhh!
What a shame!
After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, Shi Li finally calmed down. She slowly took the quilt off her head, her clear eyes misty.
The young Taoist priest knew that she was not an ordinary person, but every time she complained of being tired, he would stop and patiently find a suitable place for her to sit down and rest.
Later, they even went to the trouble of finding her a horse to ride on.
One thing after another, he really treated her as an ordinary girl!
I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.
When she woke up the next morning, Shi Li was still a young girl.
There is no way. This is the advantage of being a demigod. Even if I don’t sleep for three days and three nights, I won’t look haggard at all.
Shi Li touched her delicate and smooth cheeks in the mirror and couldn't help but smile.
So, there are still some benefits to dressing up as Ha Bo.
[… Host, don’t be narcissistic. This is not your own body~]
[Host, stop looking in the mirror. It's not you we want to see. Let's go to Kyoto quickly! ]
[I can’t wait to see what the so-called “Evil Concubine of the Country” looks like~]
When there is no danger, the barrage of comments is Shi Li's biggest danger. They often look down on her and then urge her to go out.
Shi Li rolled her eyes and was about to turn around when there was a knock on the door and she heard Ling Heng's voice through the door.
"Lili, can we set off now?"
When Shi Li heard the little Taoist priest's voice again, her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
