The young man was taken aback and asked, "What strange thing?"
The girl in green said, "Old Wang, who sells salt, had a strange illness a while ago. Even Doctor Hong said there was no cure. But guess what happened?"
...
The three chatted and laughed, attracting the attention of passersby.
The two young girls were named Ding Xianglan and Ding Xiulan, both slender and beautiful, and could be considered the beauties of the town. The young man was named Li Xiaoyao.
The two sisters of the Ding family are gentle and kind, and the younger sister is charming and lively. They are childhood sweethearts with Li Xiaoyao.
Now that the two sisters are both sixteen or seventeen years old, they are beginning to experience romantic feelings and inevitably start to focus their attention on Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao, who loves to joke and laugh, always subconsciously flirts with them.
Unbeknownst to them, the three of them had grown accustomed to this kind of flirting.
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Yi shook his head slightly and sighed, "Meeting Xiaoyao once can ruin one's life."
His purpose in coming to Yuhang Town this time was to save lives to the very end. Wang Xiaohu is a filial son who bravely ventured into Xianling Island to save his father's life, which is commendable.
Once, Lin Yi ran from Dayan Temple to Lechun Academy for help in order to save his master's life, but in the end he got nothing.
That feeling of despair was so profound that it left him depressed for months.
Although Lin Zhengyang has now gathered his soul and refined his form, embarking on the path of ghost cultivation, this path is the most difficult to traverse and the most dangerous.
There are five types of immortals in the world: Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost. These are five paths and five kinds of achievements. Ghost Immortals are ranked last, and this is not without reason.
Although Lin Yi learned from the Ding sisters that Wang Xiaohu's father had recovered, he still decided to go and see him.
In dealing with people and affairs, one should always see things through to the end.

Chapter 147 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump
Wang Xiaohu's family had a main house with three large brick rooms and several side rooms, which was quite impressive. Although they were not the richest family in the town, they were still considered one of the top families.
Lin Yi knocked on the door, and someone quickly came out.
"An immortal!" Wang Xiaohu exclaimed excitedly as he peeked out from behind the door. He turned and ran into the yard, shouting as he ran, "Dad, an immortal has come to our house!"
Soon, several people came out. The one in the middle was a middle-aged man with a square face and a serious expression, but he looked a bit old.
"The immortal's kindness and virtue are immense..." the king's father said, about to kneel down.
Lin Yi stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "I am not some immortal, just a rogue cultivator from the East Sea. It is fate that I met Xiao Hu on the vast ocean, so there is no need to be polite."
After confirming that Wang Xiaohu's father was alright, Lin Yi declined the Wang family's invitation and went to the Li Family Inn (Yunlai Yunqu Inn) in town. He casually sent the three Moon Worship Cult members in the inn to the Small Universe Realm to work as herbalists, which could be considered as helping the little girl on Immortal Spirit Island.
Lin Yi helped Zhao Ling'er awaken her Nuwa bloodline, and then used the divine power of creation within that bloodline to lure the snake out of its hole and refine the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart. Although the process was painful and somewhat dark, the result was still beautiful.
As for what Zhao Ling'er would think, that was beyond his consideration.
Lin Yi didn't come to this world to pursue love; his purpose was to collect the Five Elemental Pearls, repair the Qiankun Bracelet, and use it as a magical artifact to escape his tribulations.
As Lin Yi left the inn, he pondered where he should get a map next.
In an era when most people could only travel as far as the county seat, this was a rare find.
High-precision maps are also crucial military and national assets.
Government officials, merchants,江湖人士 (jianghu figures)... Several thoughts flashed through Lin Yi's mind, but he rejected them one by one.
"Master, why are you standing at the door? Please come in quickly!" A voice suddenly came from beside me.
Lin Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Xiaoyao walking towards him from a distance.
"Am I going to have to become this brat's personal grandfather next?" Lin Yi thought to himself, then shook his head. He had no interest in this kind of job.
"Why are you shaking your head, Daoist Master?" Li Xiaoyao said familiarly. Then, he walked into the inn and shouted loudly, "Auntie, I'm back."
A middle-aged woman, holding an iron pot in her left hand and a spatula in her right, with an apron tied around her waist, walked out from backstage. She slapped the spatula against the wall and shouted at Li Xiaoyao, "Where's the fish? Where's the fish I asked you to buy?"
Li Xiaoyao yelled "Wah wah!" as he ran, shouting, "Auntie, spare me! Neither Brother Zhang nor Boss Fang went out to sea today, so there are no fresh fish."
Lin Yi watched the two bickering with a smile.
If it were possible, he would have liked to have such a relative, but alas...
People often only realize the value of something after they've lost it. But by then, the lost time can never be recovered.
After playing around for a while, Aunt Li finally noticed Lin Yi standing at the door.
When Lin Yi entered the inn to deal with the three Moon Worshipers, he used a minor spell that made people ignore him.
However, it failed to work against a chosen one like Li Xiaoyao.
He was only discovered by Aunt Li as the effects of the spell wore off.
"Master, are you here for a meal or to stay at the inn?" Aunt Li's fierce expression softened as she asked warmly.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay at an inn."
Aunt Li paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, please come in quickly. Xiaoyao, quickly lead this Taoist priest to the guest room in the backyard."
As she spoke, she gave Li Xiaoyao a wink.
Li Xiaoyao was naturally clever and immediately led the way, saying, "Please come inside, Daoist Master."
