14. Misleading while drunk

Before Wuyou left, he turned around and said to Yunsheng, "I know you are the legitimate daughter of the Bai family in Chang'an. After you come down from the mountain, I will go to the Bai family to find you, okay?"

Yunsheng smiled and nodded, "Okay."

However, everything is subject to change, and no one can be completely sure about what will happen in the future.

That night, unexpectedly, Xingxin personally cooked a few side dishes and a pot of apricot flower wine.

Xing Xin was silent at first, holding the cup and drinking.

Because Wuyou and Yuanshui left, Lingyun Peak became even quieter.

On such a night, there was only a dim candlelight, and under the cold moonlight, an old man and a young child sat opposite each other.

Occasionally, the low calls of insects and birds could be heard in the distance, adding a touch of desolation to the night.

Xing Xin put down the cup in his hand, looked at the bamboo forest not far away, where the north wind blew and rustled, and said: "After you go down the mountain, you must learn to hide yourself. Don't act impulsively for yourself and those around you."

People bring trouble."

After hearing Xing Xin's words, Yun Sheng paused with his hands holding the vegetables, and then asked inexplicably, "Master, what did you mean?"

Xingxin poured himself another cup, then raised his head to look at Yunsheng, and what he said made Yunsheng, who was always calm and composed, feel a twitch in his heart.

"Master knows that you are not from this world."

Yun Sheng pretended to be calm, but the bamboo chopsticks in his hand made a "pop" sound and were broken into two pieces due to excessive force.

Xingxin held the cup made of bamboo, raised his head, and drank another full cup: "Don't you always want to know why my teacher brought you to this mountain?"

Yun Sheng said nothing, but in his heart he was eager to hear the answer from Xing Xin, because this was indeed something he had always been puzzled about.

Yun Sheng would not believe that he came to the mountains to avoid disaster and pray for blessings.

Xing Xin was not a very drinker to begin with, and after drinking several drinks in a row, he looked a little tipsy.

His long gray eyebrows twitched as he looked at Yunsheng, but his gaze seemed to pass through Yunsheng and look farther away.

"then……"

Xing Xin held the bamboo cup in her hand and recounted the past fourteen years ago.

Yun Sheng listened quietly to Xing Xin's words: "Back then, your Bai family was one of the richest merchants in Chang'an City, but your father Bai Wanjin was not a man who wholeheartedly did good.

Your father is the profiteer among profiteers. When I passed by Chang'an City and learned about this, I went to your Bai family with the intention of doing good and influencing the people.

But your father, Bai Wanjin, said that if he can make his wife give birth to a son and a half as a teacher, he will definitely do good deeds and accumulate virtues in the future to repay his kindness."

When Yun Sheng heard this, he knew that Xing Xin was deliberately exaggerating his "good deeds", but he didn't hear anything strange about it.

She poured another glass of apricot blossom wine for Xing Xin, and Xing Xin drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "I made a calculation with my fingers at that time. But I calculated that Bai Wanjin will not have the blessing of having children in his life..."

Xing Xin's voice became smaller and smaller, and he lowered his head with his hands on his hands, but he couldn't help mumbling.

Yun Sheng was eager to hear the answer, so he hurried forward, but he heard Xing Xin, who was already half drunk and half asleep, muttering in a low voice, "In order to make your father wholeheartedly do good and benefit the village, he will no longer be a profiteer."

The teacher got drunk and acted impulsively, so he agreed to do it..."

Yun Sheng saw that Xing Xin had lost his voice and pushed him gently, "What next?"

Xing Xin half-opened his eyes in confusion, not knowing whether he was drunk or awake, but he saw him holding Yunsheng's shoulder with one hand, with a sad look on his face: "If I hadn't been drunk and got into trouble as a teacher, how could I have had you?"

!!!”

Yunsheng: "..."
