Bai Suzhen stared at Xueyan in a daze, and was absent-minded for a moment. She had delicately carved facial features, clear yet cunning eyes, and slightly thin lips that were slightly raised with a rebellious smile. The woman in front of her had a casual and unruly temperament and a natural arrogance. She should not be underestimated.
"Are you really a woman?" Bai Suzhen took a deep breath and suddenly realized that she had been staring at someone. She felt a little rude, so she quickly looked away and asked. She was still a little hesitant in her heart, after all, the transformation of the person in front of her from a man to a woman surprised her a lot.
Xueyan shrugged and spread her hands: "Guaranteed genuine!"
Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "What's your name, sister?"
"I..." Xueyan hesitated, her eyes turned, and she smiled, "...Xiaoqing, sister just call me Xiaoqing." She must not report her name, the Dragon Princess Ao Xueyan, so she just said a random name. The reason why Xueyan concealed her real name from Bai Suzhen was that she thought it would be easier to leave after she found an opportunity to punish Bai Suzhen in the future. She thought that the world was so big that she could go to the ends of the earth. No matter how high Bai Suzhen's cultivation was, she would never be able to find her. Thinking of this, Xueyan couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart. She coughed lightly, bowed to Bai Suzhen, and said, "Xiaoqing greets sister."
Bai Suzhen stepped forward, helped Xiaoqing up, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoqing, please stand up quickly. In this case, I will not refuse any more. We will be companions from now on. You and I are almost the same age, so we can call each other sisters in the future. What do you think?" As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoqing shook her head and shouted that it was inappropriate: "No, we should call each other master and servant. Sister, you saved my life, and I, Xiaoqing, will never forget it in my life." What a joke! How can she attack her in the future if they call each other sisters
Seeing that Xiaoqing insisted on doing so, Bai Suzhen did not force it. She thought that it was just a title, so why take it too seriously. She would treat Xiaoqing as a sister in the future.
Seeing that Bai Suzhen said nothing more, Xiaoqing knew that she agreed with her suggestion and that they should address each other as master and servant, so she changed the subject and asked curiously, "By the way, sister, what are you doing in Qiantang County?" Shouldn't Bai Suzhen be staying in Qingcheng Mountain? Why did she suddenly appear here
Bai Suzhen looked towards the West Lake, sighed quietly, and said, "Looking for someone."
"Looking for someone?" Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows and asked with interest, "Who are you looking for, sister? Have you found him?"
Bai Suzhen shook her head, a trace of sadness flashed across her brows. Xiaoqing frowned slightly when she saw it, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She pursed her lips and listened quietly to Bai Suzhen saying: "It's not easy to find someone in such a vast sea of people."
Bai Suzhen smiled bitterly. She followed the instructions of Guanyin Bodhisattva and came to Qiantang to find the little shepherd boy who saved her life 1,700 years ago to repay him for saving her life. However, she had been wandering around the West Lake for a few days but had made no progress. She didn't know when she could find that person and repay his life-saving grace. She also put aside the mundane affairs of the world and practice meditation as soon as possible so that she could ascend to heaven in broad daylight and become an immortal. She sighed secretly, looked at Xiaoqing, and sorted out her thoughts a little. She simply told Xiaoqing about how she almost died at the hands of a snake catcher 1,700 years ago, but was fortunately saved by a little shepherd boy passing by. She said, "I came to Qiantang to find the little shepherd boy and repay him for saving my life."
"I see." Xiaoqing nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Looking for someone is not a quick thing. I think Sister hasn't found a place to stay yet. Why don't we solve the problem of accommodation first, and then discuss how to find your savior. What do you think, Sister?"
Bai Suzhen smiled happily and said, "Sister, you are very thoughtful. I will do as you say."
Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Then let's go."
Bai Suzhen asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
Xiao Qing smiled, took Bai Suzhen's hand and turned around and walked away: "Of course, we're going back to that abandoned house!"
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen returned to the abandoned house and walked around the yard. Xiaoqing nodded with satisfaction: "This place is big enough. Although it is overgrown with weeds and a bit run-down, it is far away from the downtown area and the environment is quiet." She looked back at Bai Suzhen beside her and said, "Sister, how about we stay here first?"
Bai Suzhen smiled slightly and nodded, "Well, I think this place is nice too." After a pause, she suddenly stared at Xiaoqing and said with a half-smile, "Qing'er, didn't you say you lived here? Why is it so dilapidated?" She still remembered what Xiaoqing said at the beginning. 'You are so bold, little lady, you dare to break into my palace, what do you do? ' Oh, she said this very smoothly before, in the tone of a real young man. It's amazing that a woman can imitate it so well, and I actually believed it. Now I think about it and feel ashamed. I have wasted nearly two thousand years of my cultivation. I didn't expect that I was deceived by a little girl like her.
Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue, looking slightly embarrassed: "I lied to you before. Actually, I came here just to find a place to stay, but I didn't expect to meet you, sister."
"Then you deliberately teased me?" Bai Suzhen raised her eyebrows slightly.
Xiao Qing smiled and didn't argue: "Well, sister, you are so beautiful that not only men but also a woman like me can't help but be moved when seeing you."
Bai Suzhen was angry and amused, she shook her head and said, "You are really naughty."
Xiaoqing tugged at Bai Suzhen's sleeve and said flatteringly, "Okay, sister, I promise I won't tease you again. Let's think of a way to clean up this house first. It's uninhabitable in such a dilapidated state." She glanced around and asked, "Sister, can you restore this house to its original appearance?" Xiaoqing could naturally restore the house to its original appearance, but Bai Suzhen's cultivation was obviously higher than hers, so why should she bother
Bai Suzhen nodded: "This is not difficult." As she spoke, she closed her beautiful eyes slightly, opened her red lips, and recited a formula silently. The weeds in the garden disappeared in the blink of an eye. The dilapidated courtyard became brand new after a puff of white smoke. The carved railings and painted buildings, rockery pavilions, towers and waterside terraces all returned to their original appearance.
Xiaoqing clapped her hands and sighed, "Great! Sister is indeed very powerful."
Bai Suzhen opened her eyes, shook her head, and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial trick. I'm sorry to make Qing'er laugh."
"Your skills are so insignificant that Xiaoqing can't even compare to them." Xiaoqing suddenly felt a little disappointed. She thought that she was a princess of the Dragon Realm, and she could call the wind and rain as she pleased. Her cultivation and magic power were not inferior to that of Bai Suzhen. But now she has changed from a dragon to a snake, and her magic power is very low. Although she has taken the golden elixir of Taishang Laojun and has cultivated for more than 500 years, she is obviously much worse than Bai Suzhen. She is planning to take revenge on her. With her current cultivation, how can she be Bai Suzhen's opponent! The more Xiaoqing thought about it, the more discouraged she felt. She frowned and looked a little depressed.
Seeing Xiaoqing suddenly become depressed, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but ask with concern: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you?" She was talking and laughing just now, why did she suddenly become depressed
"Nothing." Xiao Qing took a deep breath and calmed down. Fortunately, her cultivation could be improved slowly. She just needed to be more diligent and work harder. It would be useless to worry about it. After thinking this through, her mood became brighter. "Sister, let's go inside and take a look."
Xiaoqing pulled Bai Suzhen into the hall. The two looked around and were generally quite satisfied with the house.
"Well, we finally have a place to shelter from the wind and rain." Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Bai Suzhen to sit on the chair, and then said: "Sister, now let's discuss how to find your savior next." After a pause, she asked: "First of all, I don't understand one thing. If you want to find your savior from thousands of years ago, why would you come to Qiantang to look for him? Could it be that you know that your savior is in Qiantang County?"
Bai Suzhen said: "I came to Qiantang County under the guidance of Bodhisattva Guanyin."
"Avalokitesvara?" Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows and nodded in understanding: "I see, no wonder! Did Avalokitesvara tell you how to find the little shepherd boy?"
"March 3 is Qingming Festival, and it rains heavily during the Qingming Festival. If we are destined to meet, we must go to the heights of West Lake to find each other. This is all Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said to me that day."
"On the third day of the third month, during the Qingming Festival?" Xiao Qing pondered, "So it's still about a month away, so you don't have to worry too much, sister. With the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I'm sure you will find your savior on the third day of the third month. But how will you repay him for saving your life?"
Bai Suzhen was stunned and stammered, "How to repay... I haven't thought about it yet." She was only thinking about how to find that person, but had never thought about how to repay him after finding him. When Xiaoqing asked her this, she was really at a loss.
"Have you never thought about it?" Xiao Qing crossed her arms, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Yes, it's unnecessary to think about it now. Let's find the person first. Then we will go to West Lake again tomorrow morning. Maybe we can find my sister's savior without waiting until March 3rd."
Bai Suzhen thought Xiaoqing's words made sense, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then we will go to West Lake tomorrow morning."
