We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 39: I Think, Ruxue, You... Should Go

Ever since Bai Ruxue learned that Xiao Mo wouldnʼt marry the county magistrateʼs daughter, she had returned to being a carefree little girl.

Bai Ruxue was lively and energetic every day, even humming little tunes while cooking.

Actually, for Xiao Mo, he had never planned to marry the county magistrateʼs daughter in the first place.

At the time, Xiao Mo had wanted to politely decline County Magistrate Sunʼs kind offer, but County Magistrate Sun had interrupted Xiao Moʼs words, telling him not to rush into agreeing and to think it over.

Xiao Mo couldnʼt say much at that moment, so he just planned to visit County Magistrate Sun personally in a few days to thank him for his favor.

Today, after Xiao Mo arrived at County Magistrate Sunʼs residence, he politely declined.

Although County Magistrate Sun felt it was a pity, he could understand, especially since Xiao Mo said he already had a woman he loved.

So County Magistrate Sun didnʼt discuss the marriage proposal further, instead discussing scholarly matters and court affairs with Xiao Mo, intentionally teaching him some principles of officialdom.

In County Magistrate Sunʼs view, Xiao Mo entering court as an official was already a foregone conclusion.

Because County Magistrate Sun later heard that Xiao Moʼs ability to win first place in the provincial examination was due to gaining the appreciation of that Master Zhang.
That Master Zhang was highly respected, writing books and establishing theories. Although he currently held a sinecure position, he had enormous influence in the court, and even the current Prime Minister was his disciple.

”Xiao Mo, after you go to the capital, you should first visit Old Master Zhangʼs residence to present your calling card,” County Magistrate Sun advised.

”Master Zhang?” Xiao Mo asked with confusion.

”Thatʼs Old Master Zhang Qianzhi, currently a Hanlin Academician and also a sacrificial wine of the Confucian Academy,” County Magistrate Sun stroked his beard. ”This time, your first place was recommended by Master Zhang.”

”Then I should indeed pay a visit.”

Xiao Mo nodded.

”However, you neednʼt be overly ingratiating, or youʼll only displease Master Zhang. You just need to visit, have a cup of tea, and express your gratitude for his support,” County Magistrate Sun said.

”This student understands. Thank you for your guidance, County Magistrate,” Xiao Mo bowed.

”Haha, what guidance is this? In the future, this old man will need Lord Xiaoʼs guidance,” County Magistrate Sun raised his wine cup.

Xiao Mo just smiled slightly and also raised his wine cup.

”Goji berries... longan, mushrooms, old hen cut into pieces and blanched...”

Meanwhile, at home, Bai Ruxue was making chicken soup for Xiao Mo.

”Finally, simmer on low heat for one hour, and itʼs done!”

Bai Ruxue happily clapped her small hands and covered the clay pot.

She tended to the small fire while looking toward the courtyard entrance, waiting for Xiao Mo to return.

Half an hour later, Xiao Mo hadnʼt returned, but a woman appeared at the courtyard gate.

This woman looked ethereal and transcendent, holding a whisk in her hand and wearing Daoist robes. ”Miss, could this poor Daoist have a bowl of water to drink?”

”Of course you can.”

Bai Ruxue didnʼt refuse and quickly fetched a bowl of water for the female Daoist.

While the female Daoist drank water, Bai Ruxue carefully observed her, thinking she was truly beautiful.

”Thank you, miss,” the Daoist drained the bowl in one gulp, returned the clay bowl, then fixed her gaze on Bai Ruxue.

Bai Ruxue blinked and asked with a tilted head, ”Is there something you need, Immortal Master?”

”Not really.”

The Daoist shook her head.

”This poor Daoist is an elder of the Tianxuan Sect, named Fuchen. I observe that the miss has exceptional talent and some immortal fate. I wonder if the miss would be willing to cultivate with this poor Daoist on the mountain?”

”Ah? Cultivation? I wonʼt go,” Bai Ruxue quickly waved her hands. ”I still have someone to take care of. Without me, no one would cook for him.”

The Daoist smiled, ”Miss neednʼt rush to answer. You can consider it carefully. With your constitution, it would be a pity not to cultivate. After two days, this poor Daoist will come again.”

With those words, the Daoist bowed, turned toward the sky, and in an instant, disappeared without a trace.

Standing at the courtyard gate, Bai Ruxueʼs eyes sparkled brightly.

It was her first time seeing someone who could fly.

Near sunset, Xiao Mo returned home.
