Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 144: So All of You Are Very Reserved When I Am Around?

The provincial governor led the officials of Qing Province toward Buyi Town in a grand procession. With a seal from the provincial governor smashing down, the rules enveloping the small town shattered into invisible fragments and gradually collapsed.

This wasn’t the provincial governor’s own strength but the authority granted to him by the Great Xia Dynasty; it allowed him to mobilize a fraction of people’s powers.

The group of cultivators were no strangers to resolving such matters. With their intervention, everything about the rules including avoiding eye contact with the private school teacher and the danger of the thatched cottages in the day became nothing but jokes.

They captured the private school teacher, ferreted out the dark figure hiding among the thatched cottages, investigated how many of the townsfolk were animated corpses and living people, and studied whether those transformed into black dogs could be restored to their original selves. Everything was handled in an orderly fashion.

It was the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s first time witnessing such a scene. There was no concept of a nation in ancient times, and the systems built around clans and tribes lacked such a clear division of labor and organization.

According to the Taciturn Daoist Priest, this was just the power of the imperial dynasty. If they joined forces with the Five Great Immortal Sects, they would be able to sweep through the ancient cultivators.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou managed to find the innkeeper who had been rescued. Upon seeing the two of them, he burst into tears of joy. He had never expected that the two could truly solve their predicament, especially in such a short time.

I really shouldn’t have suspected them to be diabolic cultivators.

The Qing Province officials also discovered that the apothecary owner was the town mayor’s covert accomplice, and there was tons of evidence of his crimes. Under the restrictions of the rules, the apothecary owner appeared to be speaking the truth but had actually concealed other facts, harming numerous people.

The apothecary apprentice, private school teacher, yamen bailiffs, and the restaurant owner who prepared the meat baozi were all detained, pending further investigation to reach a verdict.

The provincial governor wrote a court document on the spot to report the three’s involvement to the court, but the Taciturn Daoist Priest stopped him, asking him to remove Lu Yang’s and Meng Jingzhou’s names.

However, they should still receive their due rewards, so the Taciturn Daoist Priest invited the two outstanding juniors for a meal at the most bustling restaurant in Qing Province.

“Haha, this matter is finally concluded! Although our travel plans encountered a slight hiccup, it’s ultimately a small issue. Once we’ve had our fill, I’ll take you to experience the splendor of the southern region. Since your Big Senior Sister isn’t here this time, the three of us can have fun to our heart’s content. Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!” The Taciturn Daoist Priest laughed heartily. Since the authorities will handle the rest of the matters, I’m no longer in the picture. After finally getting out, it’s only natural to let loose.

“Oh? Is that so? So all of you are very reserved when I am around?” A cold voice caused the Taciturn Daoist Priest’s laughter to come to an abrupt halt.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou just realized a hush had draped over the lively restaurant. Only their table was still full of chatter and jokes. Now that the three of them fell silent, the entire restaurant was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a needle dropping to the floor.

The diners had long noticed the arrival of a peerless beauty at the restaurant. As soon as she appeared, she captivated everyone. Awestruck by her beauty and demeanor, everyone instinctively closed their mouths and didn’t dare to breathe, fearing that the woman would notice them.

The woman then chose a table and sat down, quietly watching the three roistering without restraint. No one saw that she was also holding two chains, each binding a soul.

Finally, the woman spoke, and only then did the three notice her presence.

“Oh...oh, it’s you, Little Yun! Come come come, sit down and eat with us.” The Taciturn Daoist Priest squeezed out a smile.

“Hello, Big Senior Sister,” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou greeted her in a docile manner.

The Taciturn Daoist Priest was astonished when he saw the two chains in Yun Zhi’s hands, recognizing that they fettered the two Fusion cultivators who had escaped. “Little Yun, when did you find us?”

“The first time you performed One Sword Into Ten Thousand Swords and Person and Sword as One.”

Cold sweat trickled profusely from the Taciturn Daoist Priest’s forehead. That happened just a day ago. No wonder Little Yun could catch these two.

He calmed himself down and mused, I didn’t say anything bad about Little Yun today. Phew, thank goodness.

The two Fusion cultivators in Yun Zhi’s clutches looked at her in horror. This person simply struck us with her palm from afar and sent our souls flying away. Which cultivation stage is this?! Why do we keep encountering these kinds of monsters one after another?!

What happened to “the revival of the ancient era and fortuitous opportunities everywhere?” It’s dangers everywhere!

“Initially, I was worried that you wouldn’t recognize the way and lead the two of them astray, Shifu. I didn’t expect you three to have such a good time when I’m not around,” Yun Zhi said flatly, sending chills down the spines of the three.

Meng Jingzhou was the fastest to react, pointing at Lu Yang. “It’s all because of Lu Yang! I didn’t want to come, but he called me over.”

Lu Yang quickly pointed at the Taciturn Daoist Priest. “It’s all because of Shifu! He said he had to fulfill his responsibility as my shifu and take me out to see the world!”

The Taciturn Daoist Priest pointed at Meng Jingzhou. “It’s all because of this youngster’s grandfather! He entrusted me with his grandson, and that’s why I took them out to play!”

The Taciturn Daoist Priest’s wealth of experience with getting into trouble told him that shifting the blame to someone not at the scene was the wisest option.

Yun Zhi swept her frigid gaze across the three. “Shifu, you will continue promoting the glorious deeds and achievements of the Dao-Seeking Sect. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, you two will come back with me.” Yun Zhi was afraid that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou would learn from her master’s improper habits.

Before taking the two back, she told the Taciturn Daoist Priest, “Do let the provincial governor of Qing Province know that I’ve already captured the perpetrators and that he need not worry.” Yun Zhi planned to take the two Fusion captives back with her and see if she could extract any useful information.

On the way back, Lu Yang boasted to Yun Zhi, claiming that he had taken down a Fusion cultivator, and asked whether he could receive some contribution points.

Yun Zhi was baffled. “Was it not Huang Doudou who killed the Fusion cultivator?”

Hearing Yun Zhi’s words, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy didn’t even mind Yun Zhi calling her by name, asking in excitement, “So can I get contribution points?”

“You're not from the Dao-Seeking Sect, so that’s naturally not possible.”

Without a thought, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy announced, “Then I’ll join the Dao-Seeking Sect.”

Lu Yang stared at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy in shock. How could you just join like that? What happened to acting like a cool immortal?

Yun Zhi nodded. “It is fine to have an immortal joining the Dao-Seeking Sect. I can make an exception for you to become the Dao-Seeking Sect’s first honorary guest, but only I can know your identity. In return, you will receive this round of contribution points and a treatment similar to elders. If you agree to these terms, you can join.”

“I'll join.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy quite liked the atmosphere in the Dao-Seeking Sect. It’s very similar to my personality, which is a rare thing.

Yun Zhi brought up another matter to Lu Yang, “A few days ago, the palace leader of the Moon Laurel Celestial Palace approached me and said that she wants to offer you as compensation to Lan Ting. I thought that since you are of marriageable age and both sects are considered well-matched in terms of status, I agreed to you and Lan Ting’s union as Dao partners. However, for some reason, the palace leader suddenly changed her mind. Do you have any clue why? Is it because they feel you don’t measure up?”

Lu Yang was utterly flummoxed.
