A Dream of Transmigration

Chapter 16

Lin Feifei immediately spread her arms wide, like a mother hen in "Eagle Catches Chicks," blocking the handsome man behind her: "It's like this, I heard that someone in your household is sick, so I came here specifically to help."

The steward immediately beamed with delight: "Excellent, please, Daoist Master."

"Wait a minute," a strong arm emerged from behind a wing and pushed her aside, "I have come for the same reason."

Lin Feifei's eyes were practically spitting fire: "I'll go first."

"Don't worry, I won't drive you away."

Why does that sound so familiar? Lin Feifei was taken aback, then realized that this was what she had said when she grabbed the table at the restaurant earlier.

"This—" The butler looked at the two of them, his smile widening, "Why don't you two come in together?"

"If we all go in and heal the patient, whose credit will it be?" Lin Feifei wasn't going to let that go unpunished. She glanced at the handsome guy and said, "Fair competition is better."

Fair competition? The handsome man was taken aback.

Taking advantage of his momentary daze, Lin Feifei immediately seized the opportunity to introduce herself: "I am Miaozhen, the twenty-third disciple of the Yuanfu Wanning Palace Master Zixu of the Maoshan Sect. I have some knowledge of healing, exorcising evil spirits, and subduing demons. What do you think?"

After speaking, she secretly admired herself, amazed that she could say such a long thing in one breath, and so fluently, truly "eloquent and fluent"...

She couldn't help but glance smugly at the handsome guy next to her, as if to say—you can't beat him, can you?!

Sure enough, the butler's eyes lit up.

"So you're a disciple of Master Zixu. Young Daoist, please..."

"As far as I know," the handsome man interrupted her, looking at her leisurely, "there are twenty-two direct disciples under Master Zixu, and there is no twenty-third."

Upon hearing this, the butler immediately looked at her suspiciously again.

"You're so ignorant!" Lin Feifei snorted. "I only became a disciple of my master last year."

The handsome man still raised an eyebrow at her: "It seems that Master Zixu doesn't easily accept disciples."

"Of course, Master doesn't easily accept disciples," she deliberately emphasized the word "easily," and said smugly, "but as soon as he saw me, he praised my exceptional talent, saying that if I devoted myself to cultivation, I would surely achieve great success. So, in just one year, I have already mastered the true teachings. This time, Master specially sent me down the mountain to exorcise ghosts and demons, accumulate merit and do good deeds, and carry forward the great spirit of Maoshan in saving lives and healing the wounded, haha..."

As she spoke, she poked his chest with a finger: "I told you you're ignorant, didn't I?"

They even brought in phrases like "saving lives and healing the wounded" and "great spirit"...

"Is that so?" The handsome man pursed his lips slightly and indeed stopped talking, only looking at her with interest. His handsome face remained calm and wise, with a touch of laziness.

Lin Feifei tossed her head with unparalleled elegance and walked through the door.

.

As soon as she entered, Lin Feifei immediately sensed something was wrong. An unusual feeling washed over her, and her chest felt tight and hot. She looked down and touched it, only to find that the Xuanzi Stone her master had given her was slightly warm and seemed to be glowing, though she couldn't see it through her clothes.

It was indeed a treasure. She squeezed the stone with delight, realizing that there was something strange about this courtyard.

Sure enough, the further they went in, the stronger the reaction of the Xuanzi Stone became.

We finally arrived at the hall.

"Please wait a moment, Master. I will go and inform Young Master Wen first," the steward said with a smile.

Lin Feifei nodded hurriedly.

Taking advantage of the housekeeper's absence, she sat in the hall and began to organize her thoughts.

To be honest, she had no confidence at all in making that boast—God help me, the ancestors of the Three Maos, and the Supreme Lord Laozi, please don't let me, a humble Taoist, lose face.

What should she do? After thinking it over carefully, she decided to first find out where the incident occurred, and then use the Yin-Yang Spirit Communication Technique to sense what was causing the trouble.

Thinking that she would have to use the Yin-Yang Communication Technique again, she immediately pulled out the blindfold strip she had prepared beforehand from her waist. With it, everything would be OK.

Just as he made up his mind, a voice came from the side: "Is this the esteemed disciple of Master Zixu?"

Lin Feifei immediately jumped up from her chair.

“Yes, yes, that’s right, it’s Xiao—” He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

In an instant, a dark cloud rose over the fair face before him, and the eyes widened, filled with murderous intent. The murderous intent grew stronger and stronger... until finally, the entire face turned ashen, radiating a chilling aura of killing intent.

Lin Feifei felt a little guilty: "You..."

"So it was you!" came the voice, clenched through gritted teeth.

"Ahhh," Lin Feifei finally remembered who he was, and stammered in fright, "You still recognize me? Ah, no, no, I mean, let me hear what I have to say first..."

"Someone come here!"

Having witnessed the speed at which those servants acted, Lin Feifei knew she had to run before it was too late! She couldn't afford to explain anymore and dashed out the door, yelling, "Help! Help—"

The ninth chapter of the novel "A Dream of Transmigration from Liaozhai" is titled "Saving the Beauty."

The Wen family is really rich; their courtyard is almost like a park.

Unfortunately, Lin Feifei was in no mood to appreciate it, because several servants carrying sticks were following behind her. Although she couldn't outrun them, she could use her small size and light weight to climb over artificial hills and other structures, which prevented them from catching her for a while.

"That young Taoist priest is the one who flirted with Madam last year!"

"You shameless scoundrel, watch how Master Zixu saves you this time! Close the door, and make sure he doesn't escape."
