"Master Yu, do you know this person?" The man in uniform asked respectfully.
"Well... we have met several times before. She should not be a suspicious person." Yu Shuangxue said.
"Since I have your guarantee, let's forget it this time. But girl," he looked at Yu Linglong, "this stall still needs permission to set up. If you want to continue selling, don't forget to apply for registration at the Secretariat."
After saying this, the two of them bowed their hands to Yu Shuangxue and then turned around and headed to the other end of the street.
"Master Yu?" Yu Linglong said in surprise.
"Yes." Yu Shuangxue showed a faint smile, "I didn't expect that Master Xia invited us here because he wanted us to be teachers." She paused, "By the way, how come you have time to come to Jinxia? And... started selling candied haws on a stick?"
"This... it's a long story." Yu Linglong smiled and touched her head. She had met Yu Shuangxue a few times when she was playing in Wushuang Pavilion in the past, but she didn't seem to be gregarious, and she wasn't as enthusiastic and proactive as other girls, so she didn't talk much to her. The only impression she had was that she Sitting quietly in the corner of the wing, playing the strings with his bare hands in an elegant manner.
Nowadays, she still looks elegant. She is wearing a light blue slanted skirt. Her hair is not tied up, but simply tied in a knot at the back of her head. However, her expression seems to be much more attractive than before, no longer as good as her name. It's so cold and frosty that you can't get close.
"Since the deal can't be completed, why don't you come and sit at my house?" Yu Shuangxue smoothed the ends of her hair in front of her forehead, "It's time to start dinner, I guess you haven't eaten yet, right?"
"Before that, I want to ask Miss Yu a question..." Yu Linglong asked curiously, "Don't you think I'm suspicious?"
"It's suspicious, and very suspicious."
She almost choked, "Then why are you still willing to vouch for me?"
"I heard a lot about you when I was in the brothel. You helped many sisters, but you rarely needed to repay the favor. Sometimes you would call everyone together to drink and chat, just to prevent them from accompanying those provocative people. Just a boring guy." Yu Shuangxue replied calmly, "I don't think such a person would poison the candied haws and murder these children."
"You have been underestimated!" Shadow yelled.
Yu Linglong ignored her other self's protest, "So that's it. But... Miss Yu isn't married yet, is she? Is it really okay to invite me to your residence?"
Yu Shuangxue couldn't help but cover her mouth, "If it were those spies, they would definitely not worry about such a problem. Don't worry, I don't live alone in the house. It's better to have a lively meal."
"If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." Yu Linglong said with a smile.
"Please follow me." Yu Shuangxue led the way, "I'll tell you a little secret by the way. In Wushuang Pavilion, although everyone knows your gender, most people still treat you as a sister. … This is why I am willing to vouch for you.”
…
Arriving at Yu Shuangxue's residence, as soon as she opened the door, Yu Linglong saw another acquaintance.
"Hey, Sister Linglong? Are you coming to Jinxia too?" Xintao came forward happily.
"Yeah, I just happened to come over and take a look." Yu Linglong picked up the little girl and spun her around several times, and the latter also let out a series of giggles - she was much more familiar with Xin Tao than the unapproachable Yu Shuangxue. "You're not going to be a wife too, are you?"
"No, Mr. Xia said that you have to be an adult before you can become a wife, so I'm still just a student." Fang, try every means to attract my attention, but that’s childish!”
Yu Shuangxue slapped her on the head angrily, "Who asked you to dress up so exquisitely and go to class every day? This is not a brothel. Can't you learn from other children and go to school more simply?"
"Ugh..." Xintao said aggrievedly, holding her head, "I don't want Mr. Xia and Teacher Mo to see me naked."
"Then don't complain about this or that. Have you finished your homework today?"
"This..." Xintao stuck out half of his tongue, "Hey."
Yu Shuangxue couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Are you spending time writing those stories again? If others see it, be careful that your reputation will be ruined in this life."
"Don't worry, I hid it carefully and won't let others see it easily." Xintao said without caring, "Besides, who doesn't check the identity and family background before getting married? How can a pure husband have a good reputation? "
These words made Yu Shuangxue remain silent for a moment, and then she sighed, "That's all. Come and help me light a fire to cook first. I'll do my homework in the evening."
"So Miss Xintao is also attending classes in the school?" Yu Linglong's heart moved.
"Yes, this is also the rule of Jinxia City. Every school-age child should receive elementary enlightenment education in the school unless there is a special reason." Yu Shuangxue replied.
"Xantao, come here." Yu Linglong called the little girl to him and held her hand again. The moment the Qi penetrated Xintao's body, she felt the familiar disturbance again.
"Sister Linglong, what's wrong?" Xintao noticed the change in her expression.
Yu Linglong looked at her for a long time before asking, "Have you... felt any changes in yourself recently?"
"Changes?" Same… "
"Yes, this is also one of the symptoms." Yu Linglong murmured.
"Miss Linglong, is there anything wrong with Xantao?" Yu Shuangxue couldn't help but asked worriedly.
"No, her body is fine, but..."
"Just what?"
"She became a Qi senser." Yu Linglong said slowly.
If those Qi sensers she found at the school gate didn't have much real experience, Xintao's example shocked her quite strongly. She has been in contact with Xintao many times, so she naturally knows the other person's situation very well - she was adopted by Wushuang Pavilion since she was a child. Now she is fourteen years old. She has not received any Qi training, and she does not have any special talents. It can be said that in In the eyes of the Privy Council, there was not much difference between her and the homeless people on the roadside.
Although there is a chance of awakening until adulthood, the fact is that the closer the age is to the upper limit, the lower the possibility of awakening. For example, genius disciples from aristocratic families usually awaken at the age of five or six. By the age of fourteen, they can basically determine that she does not have the ability to sense Qi in her nature and is destined to be an ordinary person.
However, less than half a year after arriving in Jinxia City, this familiar girl had already half-stepped the threshold of feeling Qi, and she was not even aware of this. This discovery really made Yu Linglong extremely excited.
Xantao's example also means that the series of changes that have taken place in Jinxia City are quite universal and have nothing to do with region or environment. They are still valid even for people living in Shangyuan City!
