Chapter 8

  The Xianxia world has always had a saying: There are no ugly women in the Xianxia world!

  Lin Ruolan was only ten years old, but her beauty was unparalleled in Yunhe Mountain.

  Although Bai Yun Xiao Dao Shi has been facing Lin Ruo Lan's face for five years, he still feels uneasy every time he sees Lin Ruo Lan.

  "Alright, you go down first; I know. Lin Ruolan waved her hand to signal Bai Yun to leave first, and she would follow soon."

  After sending away the white cloud, Lin Ruolan began to speculate; Qing Weizi, this old Taoist priest, said that it was not a cover-up, but if he said so to his disciples!

  Qingwei Zi is indeed an unqualified master, especially when it comes to teaching himself; not only unqualified but also a failure, Qingwei Zi has completely adopted a laissez-faire approach towards himself.

  Every time, he directly throws himself a secret book, letting himself explore and learn; when one secret book is finished, he immediately gives himself another new secret book; so on and so forth.

  As for her master's moral character, Lin Ruolan had long since given up hope; she would just have to muddle along on her own! After all, she wasn't really a five-year-old child.

  Today, Bai Yun unexpectedly said Qing Wei Zi was looking for himself, hmm... what exactly is going on here that he doesn't know about?

  Lin Ruolan thought and thought, but couldn't figure it out: "Forget it, anyway, I'll just ask the old Taoist priest later; what's the point of thinking so much now?" Lin Ruolan muttered to herself.

  In front of others, Lin Ruolan's attitude towards Qing Weizi is still quite respectful, but what about when no one is around? This girl has always been calling him "Old Daoist" with great relish, without a hint of respect for her master or the Way.

  It's clear, however, that Qing Weizi has a doting and indulgent attitude towards Lin Ruolan; he has never quarreled with Lin Ruolan over this issue, perhaps because he has a compensatory mentality towards her.

  Qing Weizi stood quietly by the side of the lotus pond, he really didn't think that the Heaven's Chosen Daughter was as described in the legend; perhaps even more against heaven than the legend said, his last closed-door disciple had actually picked up a treasure.

  Just thinking of Lin Ruolan's abnormal talent in recent years, and as she herself put it, even if you took a rocket ship, you couldn't catch up with her abnormal cultivation that was constantly soaring upwards. The smile on Qing Weizi's face had never disappeared.

  "Master Baiyun said you were looking for me?" Lin Ruolan was still not used to those tedious formalities, fortunately Qing Weizi was a cultivator; he didn't put his heart into anything in the mortal world, and what the Xuanmen people valued was - the natural way of Tao!

  As for Lin Ruolan's lack of reserve, Qing Weizi not only didn't blame her, but instead felt deeply comforted, thinking that every word and action of Lin Ruolan contained the four words "Dao Fa Zi Ran".

  Qing Wei Zi smiled faintly: "Lan Er, you go back and pack up; I'll let Master Xuan He send you down the mountain." Qing Wei Zi told Lin Ruo Lan the purpose of calling her here this time.

  "Going down the mountain?"

  Lin Ruo Lan's face was filled with doubt as she reached out to dig into her ears, wondering if she had misheard or if Qing Wei Zi had said it incorrectly.

  "Recently, I received a letter from your family. At the end of this month, your elder brother is getting married; your parents have discussed with me and hope that I can let you return home for a visit; I have agreed to give you half a year's leave, so pack up after you go back; tomorrow, let Xuanhe send you down the mountain."

  Qingwei's words made Lin Ruolan suddenly enlightened, and she said that! This Qingwei who had no reason to be kind actually told her to go down the mountain, and there was still another layer of emotional connection in it!

  Yunhe Mountain is a legendary fairyland outside the world in people's eyes, but there are also some secular disciples under its gate; naturally, there are also ways to connect with the secular world.

  But who is that cheap big brother? Lin Ruolan's memories from the original host only knew that her brother was named Lin Hai; thirteen years older than herself, with both parents alive and a rich and noble family.

  Isn't it said that people in the past got married relatively early? Lin Ruolan thought to herself, puzzled, that she was already ten years old this year; so her older brother would be twenty-three years old this year, and wouldn't adding ten years to thirteen years make exactly twenty-three years?

  Twenty-three years old and still unmarried, almost catching up with modern times; yet they say getting married early is a good thing!

  Qing Wei Zi looked at his own apprentice's confused face and kindly helped Lin Ruolan understand: "Lan Er, your older brother Lin Hai is the Prodigal Son of this year; as for the girl who will become your sister-in-law, she is the legitimate daughter of the Capital's Prince Consort's residence, Jia Mian."

  Damn it!

  Damn it!

  What? Jia Min?

  Lin Ruolan was shocked by Qing Weizi's words and became dizzy. Could this Jia Min be the same Jia Min she knew?

  What's going on? Is this the world of the Red Chamber? Lin Ruolan suddenly felt that everything was off.

  Lin Hai = Lin Ru Hai!

  How could I have forgotten? Lin Hai isn't Lin Ruhai, is she? But that's not right either! Lin Luolan furrowed her brow slightly, remembering that in the novel it was clearly stated that Lin Ruhai had long since lost both parents; but Lin Youlan's parents were still alive.

  Is there... a Yunyuan Mountain inside the Red Mansion? Isn't it just the Taixu Illusory Realm? Lin Ruolan felt dizzy from all the twists and turns.

  "Master!"

  Lin Ruo Lan swallowed hard and dryly said: "Disciple wants to ask, is that Jia Min the one - Jia Bu Jia, white jade for the hall gold for the horse; Afang Palace, three hundred miles can't accommodate Jinling a Shi; East China Sea lacks white jade bed, Dragon King invites Jinling Wang; abundant year good heavy snow, pearls like soil gold like iron; which of these four sentences refers to the Jia family?"

  Heaven forbid, Master, you mustn't say that! Lin Ruo Lan's heart was pounding with anxiety.

  But it's clear that God is sleeping and didn't hear Lin Ruolan's inner voice.

  Qing Wei Zi couldn't help but chuckle as he glanced at his disciple's scrunched up face, nodding lightly: "Hehe... so you also know about the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue. It just so happens that your future sister-in-law is indeed Miss Jia Min, the eldest daughter of the Jia family; speaking of which, your brother's engagement to Jia Min was personally arranged by the Emperor himself."

  It's done!

  Lin Ruo Lan thought dejectedly, it's really that damned Red Mansion; waaah... why is she so unlucky? Why did she have to transmigrate into the Red Mansion of all places? And to make matters worse, she even became a relative of the Jia family.

  Lin Ruo Lan glared at Qing Wei Zi with a face full of discontent, "You're supposed to be a monk who has renounced worldly life; how come you know so much about secular affairs? This monk's six senses are not pure and is beyond redemption!"

  However, this world seems to be a bit different from the Red Mansion that she knew. Lin Ruo Lan thought with a thoughtful expression; in Cao Da Da's Red Mansion, Lin Ru Hai's parents had passed away early and there were no other siblings; but here, Lin Ru Hai's parents were both alive, wasn't she Lin Ru Hai's younger sister?

  Was it all because of the arrival of this small butterfly that everything changed completely?

  "Lan'er, why must you be worried?"

  Qing Wei Zi looked at his young apprentice, who was frowning in distress, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "As long as you stick to your own heart, this world of three thousand red dust can be considered a trial."

  Yes!

  Qingwei's words suddenly enlightened Lin Ruolan, what was she worried about? Now that her parents were both around, Jia Min couldn't stir up any trouble; besides, wasn't she herself still here?

  "Hmph... I'm a cultivator of the True Way, and those things in the Jia Mansion are just fleeting clouds."

  "Master, I'll go back and pack up now." Lin Ruolan rarely spoke to Qing Weizi in such a proper manner.

  "Go!"
