A Dream of Transmigration

Chapter 17

...

The door is closed? Lin Feifei inwardly groaned.

After climbing to the top of the artificial hill, she finally realized that she had nowhere to go.

Ahead, several people were waiting below; turning around, the pursuers were climbing up; in the distance, the Fourth Young Master Wen, his face full of anger, was walking quickly toward them.

Oh no! We're surrounded in front and pursued from behind. We're trapped!

She was so busy and flustered that she completely forgot about sword techniques and advanced moves.

"Tie him up!" came the angry voice.

Seeing that the people behind her had already climbed up and were approaching her, Lin Feifei sighed. It was better to say that she was a woman than to be tied up and beaten.

So, from her elevated position, she raised her arms and shouted, "Wait—"

Everyone was stunned.

All her bravado was used up in that one sentence, and Lin Feifei was also startled by the effect. After a long while, she stammered, "Um... Young Master Wen, I said..."

To everyone's surprise, the Fourth Young Master Wen did not react at all, and just stared blankly at the spot.

Lin Feifei wondered if her shout had such a good effect, leaving everyone petrified. She looked at everyone in surprise, then at the Fourth Young Master Wen.

Finally, she discovered something.

—Their gazes went beyond her, staring straight behind her.

After confirming again, Lin Feifei slowly turned her head away.

"ah--"

.

As Lin Feifei was freefalling from the artificial hill, she was still thinking—my God, where did that person behind me come from!

Just as her body was about to make heavy contact with the ground, she sighed sadly and resigned herself to her fate.

A large green swallow skimmed diagonally across the ground.

In an instant, Lin Feifei was standing on the ground completely intact, without a single hair missing, and beside her stood a man in green with his hands behind his back.

His handsome face had long, slightly furrowed eyebrows and a lazy expression still lingering at the corners of his mouth.

Lin Feifei's mind immediately conjured up one word—handsome! Wow, she never thought she'd encounter a "hero saves the damsel in distress" scenario, hahaha, and a handsome guy at that…

The handsome man's long eyebrows furrowed even more. He gave a slight sneer to the stunned Lin Feifei, then turned to look at the petrified crowd and took a few steps.

Five more words immediately popped into Lin Feifei's head—unbelievably handsome!

But she quickly came to her senses: the look he gave her just now was one of extreme contempt!

Only then did she remember that she knew swordsmanship and how to escape, and she couldn't help but let out a long, sorrowful sigh. Lin Feifei, Lin Feifei, you've practiced your escape methods countless times, so why are you still so embarrassing in the actual situation! And you even embarrassed yourself in front of a handsome guy!

Just as she was lost in thought, the petrified Fourth Young Master Wen was the first to react. He asked with a stern face, "Why have you trespassed into this residence?"

The handsome man finally spoke, but not in response: "He only came to rescue someone, and you treat him like this?"

“Your Excellency is unaware of the truth,” the Fourth Young Master Wen said, pointing at Lin Feifei with resentment, “this little Taoist priest dared to harass a respectable woman in broad daylight; it is utterly despicable.”

Upon hearing this, the handsome man looked at her thoughtfully, then suddenly revealed an amused expression.

"Turn your head around, my foot!" Lin Feifei snapped. "Do you think I've never seen a beautiful woman before?!"

They probably didn't expect that this fair-skinned and handsome young Taoist priest would not only talk back but also swear. Everyone present was stunned again, including the handsome guy this time.

With a handsome man protecting her, Lin Feifei became even more emboldened and slammed her sword into the ground with a clang: "Damn it, I just wanted to ask about something that day. What kind of level do you think your 'inner and outer' persona is? Everyone wants to flirt with you!"

If that woman hadn't acted like a panicked little bird, she wouldn't have gotten into all that trouble! Little did she know, the Song Dynasty was known for its conservative customs, and the girl's reaction was perfectly understandable.

Hearing her hurl such foul insults, the Fourth Young Master Wen was already in a bad mood. With his wife lying ill in bed, his face darkened further, becoming clouded with worry.

The handsome man smiled, his phoenix eyes revealing a hint of amusement. He waved his hand and said, "Put this on your wife's door, and everything will be fine in three days."

When the Fourth Young Master Wen looked down, he indeed found a purple talisman in his hand.

When I looked up again, the young Taoist priest and the green-robed young man were gone.

.

"My God, Purple Talisman! You're amazing! So you do this kind of thing too, Purple Talisman!" Lin Feifei was full of admiration, completely stunned by the purple talisman, and had completely forgotten that she had had an unpleasant argument with this person just half an hour ago. "What's your name?"

There was no response.

"Hey, are you from our Maoshan Sect?"

The handsome man finally stopped, raising an eyebrow: "If you're done, hurry up and leave. You're making a fool of yourself. How could Master Zixu have taken on a disciple like you?"

"What?" Lin Feifei reacted, and the goodwill she had just felt vanished instantly. This guy's mouth was just too hateful!

"What are you so arrogant about?" She tossed her head and rolled her eyes at people again. "I'm not your apprentice, so why are you so worried? Besides, I didn't come here on my own."

"I saved you."

"Not at all!"

"Then please go ahead," he said very bluntly, "but please don't follow me anymore, okay?"
