Chapter 145 - 95: No Coincidence, No Story
In the dead of night, a small old man who had been half-buried in the ground and then dug out was asking a female Daoist all sorts of questions. If Xu Qing didn’t know Hu Baosong well, he might have thought this old man was trying to pimp him out!
Xu Qing gazed at Daoist Yizhen, whose demeanor was calm and serene, with features as delicate as a painting.
For some reason, he always felt a familiar aura from this female Daoist...
"May this old man inquire about the lay name of the female Daoist before she took her vows?"
Yizhen, who had always been calm and composed, couldn’t help but furrow her brows. This old man dared to ask her lay name; might the next question be about her birthdate and whether she was married?
"This humble Daoist has no father or mother; I was taken in by my master from infancy. My master only told me my family name was Hu..." Yizhen paused, forcefully steering the conversation back: "Old sir, please stop asking these irrelevant questions. Although this Golden Chicken has taken a Purifying Essence Pill, it can only temporarily suppress the toxicity. If it doesn’t take the antidote soon, things might get bad."
Hu Baosong’s withered hands couldn’t help but tremble when he heard Yizhen say her family name was Hu.
Xu Qing’s interest was piqued by this statement. It seemed he had inadvertently heard something incredible.
"Xu lad, this poison..." Hu Baosong turned his gaze to the young man whose curiosity was burning brightly.
"Poison? What poison? Old Hu, why are you looking at me? I don’t recognize this Golden Chicken."
Hu Baosong knew the other party was still annoyed. He glanced at the frowning, silent female Daoist, then looked at Xu Qing, who was pretending to be clueless.
