Kill That Man
Chapter 5 Fiancee Engagement
I thought Yu Qing Yao was dead yesterday, and today she became a possessed corpse. We were going to burn her, but who expected her to be alive. In a little while, she would be like Li Huaide and go cultivate to Immortality.
Don"t mention the villagers, Li Huaide is completely stunned.
What"s going on? My ex-fiancee, is going to become my Junior Sister? I"m not dreaming, am I?
Holy smokes, she"s become my Junior Sister, I"ve carelessly withdrawn from our marriage agreement?
Previously in the village we were childhood sweethearts, and now we get to continue being childhood sweethearts, how great is this?
The more Li Huaide thinks, the more satisfied he is.
"Huaide, lead the way, let"s go to your house!" Master Daoist w.a.n.g said, leading Yu Qing Yao down the wooden platform, down the bench to the ground.
Li Huaide is in high spirits he jumps to lead the way.
On the ground, Master Daoist w.a.n.g releases Yu Qing Yao"s hand, looking natural he says: "I will tell you about our Sect."
Yu Qing Yao was staring at his hand, trying to see when he would let go, listening to his words, her attention suddenly shifts. With a smile she says, "Yes, Master!"
Master Daoist w.a.n.g walks at a leisurely pace, walking and talking about *Feiyun Sect.
Feiyun Sect is located in the eastern part of Baishan City, covering an area of 600 acres. There are dozens of buildings, and there are more than 7,500 Daoist devotees. The Lord is Master Daoist w.a.n.g, there are 8 Elders who have various duties.
Four of the 8 Elders are the apprentices of Master Daoist w.a.n.g, which show that Master Daoist w.a.n.g has great influence.
Yu Qing Yao is currently the youngest female disciple. There are sixteen disciples, including Yu Qing Yao, it is 17.
In the Sect, there are fewer than eight hundred Daoists who can really kill people using magic.
The other Daoists all practice martial arts or other miscellaneous arts. The Daoists are all about serving the Daoists.
The Sect has countless industries, and they can command the official government.
Yu Qing Yao suddenly feels like she has a very *thick thigh, from now on she will live a good life.
Is she going to be a female Daoist? I don"t know if Daoist can get married.
Well, thats okay, right? Daoist don"t get married, what about the younger Daoist?
"Master, are there any woman Daoist in the Sect?" Yu Qing Yao asks a question with an innocent look on her face.
Master Daoist w.a.n.g nods with a smile.
"Master, how many sisters do I have?"
Master Daoist w.a.n.g shakes his head with a smile.
Yu Qing Yao is baffled. Frick, you don"t accept female disciples. Why would you suddenly think of receiving me as a disciple?
Master Daoist w.a.n.g says in a low voice: "Qing Yao, your *spirit root is very good. I can"t bear for a pearl to be covered in dust, so Master made an exception for you."
Yu Qing Yao is happy, smiling she asks: "Master, really?"
Master Daoist w.a.n.g says decisively: "Really, Master need not lie to you."
Yu Qing Yao is suddenly happy, she really doesn"t want to be the *waste wood.
Although waste wood goes against the heavens and overcomes genius"s, appears very awesome, but once its you, its very tiring. Every day you are despised, there always people jumping out to insult you and bully you, that is very annoying.
"You have the best qualifications in my Sect, you must practice well, and win glory for Master"s Sect." Master Daoist w.a.n.g says in a sincere manner.
Yu Qing Yao nods, saying firmly: "Master rest a.s.sured that I will certainly try to cultivate well, I will not disgrace Master."
Master Daoist w.a.n.g smiles with relief.
Arriving at Li Huaide"s door, the Li family had already been informed by the villager"s, smiling from ear to ear at the door to welcome Master Daoist w.a.n.g.
When they see Yu Qing Yao, Li family is a little embarra.s.sed.
No way, they just forced her to withdraw from the marriage, she hung herself, clearly not dead but almost cremated by the whole village. It"d be a wonder if they weren"t embarra.s.sed to see her again. Now Yu Qing Yao has become their sons Junior Sister, it won"t do to not see her or not let her enter their door.
Yu Qing Yao is happy to see their awkward appearance. She is not the original and does not care about being declined marriage.
She doesn"t like Li Huaide, that young pretty boy. She is completely relaxed now that the engagement is broken. Somehow, as soon as she saw him, she felt a lot of resentment in her heart. If it wasn"t for her good endurance, she couldn"t help but go up to him, punching and kicking him.
The Li family banquet is already prepared. Yu Qing Yao follows her Master to the table.
Master Daoist w.a.n.g is of course sitting in the head seat, and the old Patriarch is sitting next to him. On the left is the Li family parents and on the right is the Li grandparents. Following that, there is Li Huaide and Yu Qing Yao.
A table of eight people, just right.
The old Patriarch takes the lead in toasting Master Daoist w.a.n.g, and they drink three rounds of wine. In between that, the Li family is constantly praising Master Daoist w.a.n.g. It"s just that these country folk aren"t good at words of praise and they repeatedly say that Master Daoist w.a.n.g"s magic is outstanding, and that he"s a true Immortal.
Yu Qing Yao picks up a cup of wine, with a smile she says: "Disciple offers a cup to Master, I wish for Master to fly to the heavens, become an Immortal, famous all over the world."
"Okay!" Master Daoist w.a.n.g smiles.
Yu Qing Yao drinks the rice wine in the cup, pours another, and toasts in a circle. At the end, she says to Li Huaide, "Brother Li, this cup congratulates you on finding a happy marriage."
When Yu Qing Yao salutes Li Huaide, Li family is on edge, afraid that she would bring up the old affair after becoming a formal apprentice.
Hearing her say so, Li family is relieved and looks at Li Huaide with a smile.
Li Huaide is under great pressure. He doesn"t want to drink this kind of congratulatory wine. He wants to say: *Shimei, I want to marry you!
Looking at Shimei"s smiling face, his eyes glance at Master"s serious face, then his parents worried eyes. Li Huaide"s heart is bitter, no words, he drinks the wine.
Master Daoist w.a.n.g takes the opportunity to say: "I came this time, for Huaide"s sake. The Zhao family is a famous family in Baishan City, and the Li family mustn"t be negligent tomorrow."
Father Li immediately stands up and says, "Yes! Many thanks to Daoist for fulfilling this marriage. I will do my best to arrange the engagement banquet."
"En, are you short of silver taels? If theres not enough, tell me. Huaide is my disciple, I"ll bestow him a thousand silver taels, the marriage must be grand and impressive, musn"t lose my face." Master Daoist w.a.n.g said, taking out a silver banknote and handing it to Father Li.
Father Li is so excited, he pushes off, "Master Daoist w.a.n.g is willing to come, this honor is as big as the heavens, how dare I accept your silver."
"Take it, this is for my disciple, not for you." Master Daoist w.a.n.g says with a little anger.
Li Patriach urgently advises: "Master Daoist said, you just listen, tomorrow hire a good cook, buy more good food and wine."
Father Li is red-faced and smiling, agreeing.
Li family is very grateful to Master Daoist w.a.n.g, except for Li Huaide.
On one hand, Li Huaide is grateful to his Master, on the other hand, he is very upset. Seeing this situation, Master insists on him marrying that Zhao Miss, he is really depressed.
Yu Qing Yao looks at this rare situation, in her mind she thinks: The ancient master is so good to his apprentice? Its truly opened my eyes, just like his own children.
As far as she knows, the Li family can"t bring out so much silver to set up a betrothal banquet for Li Huaide.
The Li family gritted their teeth to borrow 20 silver taels from their relatives, and prepared nearly 40-silver taels for this matter.
The Li family saw Yu Qing Yao"s performance, and were secretly amazed. In their impression, Yu Qing Yao looks good, well-behaved and lovely, but there is a disadvantage, she is shy in front of the public, seeing strangers she dare not speak.
But today Yu Qing Yao has generously stepped up to the table, very different from the past.
The original was just a shepherd girl, her parents died early, no one taught her how to deal with people.
Yu Qing Yao was an undergraduate in University. During University, she also opened a business on her own, so her social experience and knowledge are much better than the original.
Terms:
(1*) Feiyun- Translates to Flying Cloud.
(2*) Thick thigh- Not literal, in c-novels a thick thigh refers to someone who is powerful, protagonists usually try to stick to someone with a "thick thigh" for protection and benefits.
(3*) Spirit root- figuratively, the very foundation (roots) of one"s body and soul. a.s.sociated with a person"s innate talent and elemental affinities.
* Cultivation usually requires some minimum level of innate talent, and many people find it impossible to even take the first step. In some novels, the quality of a person"s Spiritual Roots can be tested to determine if they have the talent necessary to cultivate. Rare individuals may even have special Spiritual Roots which allow them to cultivate quickly or grant them other benefits. For example, someone with "fire spiritual roots" might learn fire spells more easily than their peers.
(4*) Waste Wood- Good for nothing, loser.
(5*) Shimei- Junior sister, younger female apprentice. I might switch off between junior sister or Shimei, we"ll see.
