The Wheel-Turning Master

Autumn is colder than winter.

Pedestrians coming and going on the street have all put on clothes.

After Lin Bai had breakfast, he opened the door for a consultation.

Mr. Bai became increasingly lack of energy and his appetite became less and less.

These days, Mr. Bai only sees Lin Bai for diagnosis and rarely speaks.

Moreover, he introduced Lin Bai to all the drug dealers who dealt with the hospital, and took the trouble to tell him who was sincere and who was dishonest.

Having opened a medical clinic for decades, Mr. Bai is a kind-hearted doctor who does not care about money, but he also knows how to deal with the world.

After noon, Mr. Bai took a nap and Lin Bai sat alone in the classroom.

Xiuxiu sat aside to pick up the soles of her shoes. Her sewing skills were much worse than those of Sister Zhen, so she could only make do.

Nowadays, everything Lin Bai wears is done by Xiu Xiu.

"Do you have no clothes at home?" Xiu Xiu looked at Lin Bai while picking up the soles of her shoes, frowning and asked: "It's cold, why are you wearing such thin clothes?"

Lin Bai practiced his internal skills diligently and was no longer afraid of the cold or heat.

The Wuji Kung Fu will soon reach the eighth level, and its inner strength is even higher than that of Pei Ning.

According to Pei Ning, those who have cultivated to the eighth level of Wuji Gong are already among the top figures in the world. Even the Qingyang Sect has few people who can compare with it.

"I'm not afraid of the cold." Lin Bai only read the medical book and didn't look at her.

"I think you still need someone to take care of you." Xiuxiu has always been reasonable. She glanced at Lin Bai and asked in a low voice: "You are old enough, why don't you want to get married?"

"I have a bad reputation." Lin Bai said concisely.

"It's all rumors on the street." Xiu Xiu smiled, tilted her head and looked at Lin Bai, "I think you are very good."

The two were chatting, and three people walked in from outside.

The leader was a lady, followed by a maid and a government servant.

It's Ren Qiaoyun. It's just that the maid is not the one Lin Bai is familiar with, but the yamen servant is very familiar with her, she is Niu Er.

Since Lin Bai returned to Huaxi County, he has been immersed in the medical clinic and has never seen Ren Qiaoyun again.

The two used to be friends who almost had sex. I don’t know how much friendship there is still there now.

"You go out and wait." Ren Qiaoyun waved his hand and drove away the maid and Niu Er.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell?" Lin Bai stood up and held his hands in his hands, looking upright.

In front of Xiuxiu, Lin Bai had to set an example.

"It's really not comfortable." Ren Qiaoyun sighed and looked at Lin Bai with resentful eyes.

"..." Lin Bai just pretended not to understand.

Ren Qiaoyun looked at Xiuxiu with a smile on her face, walked up and asked, "Miss Xiuxiu has such beautiful craftsmanship, who made the shoes for?"

"Who else can I give it to?" Xiuxiu glanced at Lin Bai and complained, "His feet are so big that they are bigger than the others. The soles and surfaces of the shoes need to be made of better materials."

Ren Qiaoyun chuckled when he heard this and said: "Silly girl, big feet have advantages. If you don't understand now, you will understand later."

Xiuxiu tilted her head, not understanding.

"Why are you feeling unwell, madam?" Lin Bai coughed, interrupting Ren Qiaoyun's flirtatious remarks, "Please sit down."

"You just want to see a doctor. Why are you glaring at me?" Xiu Xiu looked at Lin Bai in confusion.

Ren Qiaoyun laughed again. After sitting down, he stretched out his arms and said softly: "I haven't had a good appetite recently, and I'm not in a good mood either."

This woman is really coquettish! Recently, there were rumors on the street that she was beaten by the county magistrate. Now it seems that it is not true...

Lin Bai asked about his daily life and diet again, and then he stretched his finger to feel his pulse.

Nothing wrong with it. Even if there is, it is done.

"Madam is in very good health. I'll give her an appetizer and she'll eat it for two days." Lin Bai looked businesslike.

"I have a heart problem." Ren Qiaoyun smiled again.

Lin Bai felt a headache, so he could only push Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, go to the back hall and see if Mr. Bai is awake."

Xiuxiu was not stupid either. She looked at Lin Bai and then at Ren Qiaoyun, muttered something, and then walked back to the back hall.

"Why does she look like I want to steal her money?" Ren Qiaoyun smiled, looked at Lin Bai again, lowered his voice and asked, "Has Mr. Pei sent you a letter?"

"No." Lin Bai shook his head.

"No? You all..." Ren Qiaoyun covered her mouth with a smile, her face even more springy, "Lin Zhuanlun, are people who practice martial arts extra compact?"

Lin Bai: "What?"

"Pei Guiren has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Can he be like ordinary people?" Ren Qiaoyun smiled.

Who knows?

Lin Bai was speechless for a moment and could only put on a serious face and said, "There are no six ears here. If you have any questions, madam, you might as well speak up."

"Lin Zhuanlun, after all, you have climbed up to a noble person, and you are much tougher than before!" Ren Qiaoyun was quite angry, "Who gave you advice at that time, and who asked you to curry favor with Pei Ning?"

"Just tell me what it is." Lin Bai sighed, feeling a headache, and said perfunctorily: "I am thinking of your good son in my heart, but you also know that I am Pei Guiren's plaything, and I dare not follow him. You're too close."

"Of course I understand your difficulties." Ren Qiaoyun seemed to have the sadness of being a fallen person in the end of the world, and sighed: "The man who suffered a thousand swords took people out of the city this morning, saying that he was going to welcome a noble person. It will take two days to come back.”

Lin Bai was stunned for a while, and then he realized that what Ren Qiaoyun meant by "suffering a thousand cuts" was referring to the county magistrate...

If noble people really want to come, Lin Bai estimates that many people from the Qingyang Sect will come.

"What's wrong?" Lin Bai was puzzled.

"What's good?" Ren Qiaoyun sighed more and more, "My brother is dead, the Qinglong Gang is gone, and there was Jiang Rong's incident last time. He became more and more displeased with me and called me a whore at every turn. In fact, I For the sake of his future, do you think I’m really willing to sleep with someone else? If he fawns over someone else, will I still have a foothold?”

"Don't worry, sister." Lin Bai immediately made a promise, "Mr. Pei appreciates me. I will not let my sister be bullied."

"Then it's up to you. Give Miss Pei some pillow air."

Ren Qiaoyun's face turned bright and she said in a low voice, "Are you free tonight? How about I take good care of you, sister?" She spoke with a charming look in her eyes.

"..." Lin Bai didn't dare. He quickly refused and said, "Sister, Mr. Pei doesn't allow me to hand over to outsiders. I don't have the guts either."

"Can she still put a chastity lock on you?" Ren Qiaoyun stood up with a smile and glanced down, "I'm leaving. If you think about it someday, come find me." As she spoke, she stepped forward and twisted her waist. Walked away coquettishly.

After sending Ren Qiaoyun away, Lin Bai rubbed his head and felt even more tired than fighting with Master Qi.

"You should be careful, there are a lot of bad women out there." Xiuxiu came out of the back hall and warned her seriously.

"Only you understand!" Lin Bai rubbed her head fiercely.

Xiu Xiu was not angry and continued to pick up the soles of her shoes, talking about rare things on the street.

In the evening, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside.

Lin Bai got up and went out to take a look. He saw a white horse, black clothes, and a sword at his waist. It was Pei Ning who was coming.

I haven't seen her for more than a month, and she has not changed much. Her waist is still thin and she is still very fair.

Lin Bai cupped his hands and smiled, knowing that everything was going well.

Pei Ning's eyes and brows were also smiling. She did not dismount, but took out a palm-long delicate wooden box from her arms and threw it to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai took it and opened it. It turned out to be a hosta.

"I've never seen anyone with black hair wearing a black hairpin." Pei Ning smiled lightly, "They say a gentleman is like jade, so I'll give you a jade hairpin."

"Thank you." Lin Bai put the wooden box into his sleeve and bowed.

Peining nodded, turned the horse's head, and left.

Although the two had known each other for a short time, they already had a tacit understanding, and she meant to talk about it again in the evening.

After returning to the hospital, Xiu Xiu quickly asked Lin Bai to take out the hosta and look at it.

When she got it in her hand, she kept looking at it, muttering to herself, and gesticulating at the black hairpin on Lin Bai's head.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Lin Bai didn't value these things.

"I don't like it." Xiu Xiu put the hosta back into the wooden box and handed it to Lin Bai, "Grandpa said that even if our medical family is rich, we should try to wear as little gold and silver as possible."

After dinner, Lin Bai went home at night.

Waiting until midnight, I suddenly heard the breeze blowing outside the house.

Soon, Peining opened the door and came in.

She was very skilled in Qinggong. In the past, Lin Bai couldn't hear her movements at all, but now it was different.

Pei Ning had changed into casual clothes and tied her hair back. She looked much softer, as if a sharp sword had been sheathed.

"Why don't you wear the hosta I gave you?" Peining asked as he walked in and sat down.

"Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. As I weave mats and sell shoes, I'd better use black hairpins, so I don't forget my roots." Lin Bai spoke nonsense without blushing.

Peining nodded, seeming to believe it.

"How's it going?" Lin Bai poured tea for her.

"Master Zhang Xian, who has never been found, showed up." Pei Ning stroked the tea cup.

"How do you say it?" Lin Bai asked.

Peining smiled and told everything she had seen and heard in the past month.

It turns out that after Pei Ning returned to the Qingyang Sect and revealed the news about the death of Master Qi and the disappearance of Elder Tong, the Qingyang Sect was in chaos.

There were three immortal masters who came from overseas this time. One was tortured and killed by Pei Wuyong, the other died in Tianlang Mountain, and only the immortal master Zhang was left.

However, Immortal Zhang was nowhere to be seen. Pei Ning waited for half a month before Immortal Zhang returned to the Qingyang Sect.

When Master Zhang Xian heard that Master Qi Xian was dead and that Elder Tong was suspected of touching the body, he immediately became furious and vowed to take revenge.

But after knowing that Master Qi Xian left the words "Jiuyin Mountain" before his death, he never mentioned revenge or went out to have fun. Instead, he made a heavy promise to the Qingyang Faction and asked the Qingyang Faction to take over the matter.

Now the people from the Qingyang Sect have gone to Tianlang Mountain.

"You and I have already cleared away the traces in the cave. The khaki flag has been hidden, and Elder Tong has turned into ashes."

Lin Bai came to the conclusion: "The people of the Qingyang Sect are not immortal masters. They don't have the immortal methods. It is difficult to find you and me. Instead, they will look for Elder Tong all over the world."

"At least that seems to be the case now." Pei Ning nodded, but still said cautiously: "After all, we still need to be more careful. You must not reveal your inner skills."

Lin Bai naturally agreed, he didn't want to get involved in these nonsense.

Now that the stone plate is in hand, all he has to do is practice diligently and cultivate the Wuji Kung Fu to perfection.

Even if Pei Wuyong hides something, he doesn't have to look for it yet.

Everything is safe.

"Ren Qiaoyun said that the county magistrate went to greet the noble man, who came?" Lin Bai took the opportunity to ask.

"My dad." Pei Ning turned her head, looked at Lin Bai, and said, "He also said he wanted to meet you." There was a smile on her face, which looked even more stunning under the candlelight.

Lin Bai hated seeing big shots, especially old foxes with many thoughts and abilities, showing their flaws without paying attention.

"Why do you want to meet me? You can't push me away?" Lin Bai resisted.

"Many people sent him letters, saying that you were my male favorite and that I was filthy and messy." Pei Ning smiled.

Lin Bai was very surprised and said helplessly: "Your father is a national master, can't he see that you are a virgin?"

Pei Ning just smiled and didn't reply.

"Compared with Senior Pei, who is better?" Lin Bai asked.

"You think too highly of him. He is just a little better than me." Pei Ning smiled disdainfully at first, and when he saw Lin Bai relieved, he immediately grabbed Lin Bai's palm and poured in his Yin and Yang internal forces.

After a long time, Pei Ning was unconvinced and said: "You are really fast, only the founder of Qingyang Sect can compare with you."

"I have been worried so much that I learned a little faster." Lin Bai said in a low voice.

Pei Ning said no more, walked out, and when he reached the door, he said: "My father will arrive the day after tomorrow, I will pick you up then!" After that, the figure swayed and disappeared.

After another night of hard practice, Lin Bai went to the clinic as usual.

In the afternoon, Xiuxiu suddenly came up to him with a happy smile on her face, and took out a wooden hairpin from her sleeve like offering a treasure.

"Sit still." Xiuxiu turned behind Lin Bai and stood on tiptoe, "I just ran to several places and picked it for you." As she spoke, she took off Lin Bai's black hairpin and stuffed it into Lin Bai's hand, combed his hair carefully, rolled up his hair, and inserted the wooden hairpin.

After doing all this, she took out a small bronze mirror from somewhere, "Look, this is good-looking."

"How much did it cost?" Lin Bai asked.

"It's my money, not yours, why do you feel bad?" Xiuxiu was very proud.

"I'm afraid you'll feel bad." Lin Bai couldn't help laughing.

"No, I don't feel bad." Xiuxiu was happy, tilted her head, and looked at Lin Bai's hair hard.

On the third day, in the morning, Pei Ning came and brought a horse to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai had no choice but to follow.

The two rode side by side. After a while, Pei Ning suddenly asked, "Why did you change your hairpin? Didn't you say that you should wear a black hairpin to show that you don't forget your roots?"

"Hairpin?" Lin Bai was stunned at first, then explained with a smile, "Xiuxiu bought it yesterday and insisted that I wear it."

Pei Ning sneered at the words, looked at Lin Bai from the side, and said, "She is only eleven years old after the New Year." After that, she spurred her horse forward.

Lin Bai: "???"

When you go out of the South City Gate, you will see a bustling crowd.

All the officials of Huaxi County have arrived, including the noble families, and many elderly people, probably thousands of people.

The work on the dock has also stopped, and there is no boat on the river.

So many people have been waiting since morning, and it was not until noon that a boat was seen slowly approaching.

After waiting for a long time, a group of boys in Taoist robes came down, each with red lips and white teeth, holding whisks, and standing on both sides of the road.

After a while, the group of Taoist children suddenly shouted: "Welcome to the Imperial Master."

A man was seen floating down from the boat without raising any dust.

The man was about fifty years old, with black beard and black hair, and a Taoist hat.

The wide-sleeved Taoist robe was embroidered with auspicious clouds and gold threads. He held a whisk in his left hand against his chest and a jade ruyi in his right hand.

He was really an immortal, with an otherworldly demeanor.

The people welcoming the guests saluted and called him the Imperial Master.

The man stepped forward with a small square step, looked up at everyone, nodded slightly, and said: "I bow to you."

Lin Bai looked at him from a distance and sighed: "Such a stylish man, I really can't imagine him licking the soles of the Immortal Master's shoes."

Pei Ning looked at Lin Bai with an increasingly unfriendly look.
