Chapter 390 Winter is coming
Lao Zhao is a man who has been repeatedly ravaged by various emotional bloggers in his previous life. He is more than one or two levels higher than the people in this world. Naturally, he will not rush in and start fighting.
"Why did you come in again?" The old doctor glared at the man and tried to chase him away.
"No, I won't touch the needle, just do some hard labor. Besides, you can drive me out, but why drive away the black deer?"
The old doctor snorted: "Go help Miss Lan, don't show up in front of me."
"okay!"
Zhu Huo's face darkened. In the past month, he came here almost every day unless there was an emergency to deal with. The old doctor and A-Dong both liked him very much. Why was the old doctor so indulgent towards Zhao Yushu when he had only been here for one day?
Naturally, he didn't know many details about Nanyang, and could only watch Zhao Yushu and Lan Ling talking and laughing, which made him feel even more depressed.
She was not a cultivator and was at a disadvantage in this competition. The only thing she could boast was that her father was the governor of Yuezhou. If she managed things properly, she could become a middle or high-level official of the Red Lotus Sect. When the Red Lotus Sect unified the world in the future, she would have the opportunity to become a loyal minister, enter the cabinet, be granted a title of nobility, and become a prime minister. In this way, she could equalize the difference in status with Lan Ling, the daughter of a surrendered minister.
But the academy has a respected status. If the academy remains neutral all the time, the Red Lotus Cult will still have to show some courtesy to the academy after taking over the world. The status of the sixth master of the academy may not be worse than that of the prime minister.
Unless the academy stands against the Red Lotus Sect.
Calm down, my mother said that I must not be impulsive. This is Yuezhou. The geographical location and people are on my side, and I have enough time.
"Miss Xuexian, Yuezhou will start the Winter Festival in two days. I wonder if Miss Xuexian would be willing to go with me for a stroll."
Zhu Huo walked forward and ignored Zhao Yushu.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhu. I will go with Mr. Zhao."
Old Zhao forced himself to hold back his laughter. Lan Ling really didn't give him any face at all, unlike some green tea girls in his previous life who kept a bunch of them in the fish pond.
Zhu Huo's smile froze on his face. Although Lan Ling had clearly rejected his advances before, he didn't know about Zhao Yushu's existence and simply thought that the time was not right yet. Now he completely understood that as long as Zhao Yushu was still around, he would have no chance.
"Okay, that's great. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
Although the Red Lotus Sect advocates mutual help, it has never mentioned equality for all. As the son of the governor of Yuezhou, and in this era of clear class divisions, how could Zhu Huo be an approachable and gentle young man?
He came to the clinic to help in order to win Lan Ling's favor. Since he had no chance here, he naturally didn't need to pretend to be polite with the people in the clinic. So he left without even saying hello, and he probably wouldn't come here every day in the future.
A-dong was a little puzzled, while the old doctor just uttered a "hey" and looked as if he had expected it.
"Old man, have I caused you any trouble?"
"Go away. I'm applying the medicine. Go collect the medicine hanging outside. Can't you see it's getting dark?"
Zhao Yushu let out a sigh and ran out. The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "It is obvious that the other person has higher status and cultivation than you, but he doesn't have any of your airs. What can you compare with Mr. Liu?"
"What is that Winter Festival? I don't think I've ever heard of it." Zhao Yushu asked while eating during dinner.
"It is a festival of our Red Lotus Cult. On the ninth day after the beginning of winter, we will offer this year's harvest to the Purifying Red Lotus and pray for the Red Lotus's karmic fire to bring down warmth and bless everyone to survive the cold winter."
Adong explained seriously.
"The Pure World Red Lotus, does it really exist?"
Zhao Yushu always thought it was just a symbol of faith.
"Of course there is. When Sanniang told me about it for the first time, I was also shocked. Guess what level of treasure it is?"
Lan Ling blinked, and Zhao Yushu took a deep breath: "Heavenly level."
"If you guessed it right, I'll give you a vegetable as a reward."
Zhao Yushu finished his meal in a hurry and fell into deep thought.
A real red lotus, a red lotus of heavenly treasure, was it created by the Red Lotus Cult because of it, or was it created by the Red Lotus Cult like the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains?
Emperor Taizong was a man of great talent and strategy, a great emperor of all ages, but he spent countless efforts and even sacrificed countless lives of monks to leave behind a map of thousands of rivers and mountains for future generations. The Red Lotus Sect has only been rising for a few years, and the true identity of its leader remains a mystery. Do they have the ability to create a heavenly treasure?
Zhao Yushu suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was a bit too heavy. The academy made him bear too much pressure that did not belong to the Sixth Heaven...
I slept very deeply. After all, I was tired all day yesterday. No one woke me up the next day. I only woke up groggily when the sun hit my eyes.
The old doctor was busy with an apprentice, Hei Lu was still sleeping, and Lan Ling and A Dong went to the city gate to pick up the medicinal materials that arrived today.
Lord Zhu was trustworthy and directly lifted the house arrest on Lan Ling, but surveillance is probably still necessary.
Zhao Yushu greeted them, asked for an address, and then went out by himself. The academy did not have a base in Yuezhou, but Huibao Merchants did. The third senior brother asked him to check every few days and if there was any letter, he would send it there.
Shen Dabao has been devoted to the academy ever since he rescued his precious son.
I reported the name arranged by the academy at the inn, and actually received a letter.
Zhao Yushu found a teahouse and sat down. He opened the letter and read it. His heart was suddenly filled with turmoil.
The teacher went to Jiangning and directly challenged the owner of Wangjiang Tower. In front of half of Jiangning City, he beat the owner of Wangjiang Tower so hard that he was bedridden and unable to wake up. Then he rushed to Shuzhong without stopping to find trouble with the Tang Clan. Counting the days, the new leader of the Tang Clan should have been beaten up by now.
The name of the old madman was once again spread throughout the world, reminding everyone of the fear of being dominated in the past.
But few dared to stand up and accuse him, because the old madman said that he was seeking revenge from an organization called Yinsi. Both the owner of Wangjiang Tower and the leader of Tang Sect had joined Yinsi. Want evidence? Why don't you just ask the owner of Wangjiang Tower? You said he was beaten unconscious and couldn't speak? That's because he couldn't stand being beaten. If I really wanted to silence him, I could just kill him.
Wei You explained that the teacher was trying to buy time. No one knew how long the underworld had been working on this. It was impossible to convince the entire world with just one or two sentences. So, the better off making the water more muddy, making everyone startled and not daring to believe anything, which would effectively curb the development of the underworld.
After all, the underworld is not yet visible to the public.
At the end of the letter, it was mentioned that the teacher had limited time and the Red Lotus Sect might be a breakthrough point, so he was asked to investigate as much as possible while paying attention to safety. In addition, all the disciples in the academy, except for the eldest brother and Wei You, had been sent to various places. Wei You was worried that a catastrophe was about to happen.
Zhao Yushu crushed the letter and couldn't help cursing. There was no disaster hundreds or thousands of years before I traveled through time, but how come the world is in chaos as soon as I traveled through time? It's as if I'm the Lord of the Underworld.
Bah, bad luck!
