The Otherworldly God

Chapter 66 Shui Ling borrows money for compensation

"Barbarians"? Their words stimulated them severely. Le Zheng Shui Ling was now very sober and wanted to punch the other party a few times, but Le Zheng Qi Ming grabbed her wrist tightly.

I wanted to shake off his hand and beat him up regardless of the consequences, but when I turned around and saw Le Zheng Qiming’s red face, I restrained myself from hitting him.

"Don't be angry."

Le Zheng Qiming told himself silently in his heart, trying to calm himself down, hoping to resolve the matter peacefully.

In fact, he also wanted to let go, and even join Le Zheng Shui Ling in teaching the other party a lesson, but he had to be sober. Before coming, he had already made it clear with Le Zheng Shui Ling that they had to be patient in everything and help the other party to be patient.

"Jimen Pass is located in a remote area. The nearest place is only this Painting City, but there is little communication. Although we in Lezheng are not a wealthy family, we are self-sufficient. Being called a wild land and wild people is not only an insult to Lezheng, but also an insult to the first line of defense against the demons, the great Jimen Pass."

"To flatter the powerful and bully the weak is an ugly thing. As long as they are human, they will be like this no matter which world they are in."

Le Zhengli did not react much to Le Zheng Yuhua's words, but was a little confused about the "which world" he mentioned.

"How many people in Le Zheng can tolerate such an insult? But you have to endure it."

"Don't worry, it will be over soon."

Le Zheng Yuhua wanted to come forward, whether by coercion or intimidation, he just wanted to quickly end this disgusting negotiation.

Le Zhengli looked at him sideways, waiting to see how he would deal with two "Taoists" as a "Taoist son". Just as he took the first step, a girl took two steps at a time and walked over quickly.

She was wearing a light green long skirt, which fluttered gently with her steps. She had a pretty face and bright eyes, revealing a sense of alertness and intelligence.

Her hair was carefully combed into two low-hanging buns, and a few small flowers dotted the buns, adding a bit of cuteness to her. Her smile was gentle and charming, and her voice was soft but majestic. She spread out her hands and said, "Here are three silver coins, which our young lady paid for this young lady, and the other one silver coin is for your toll."

Only then did they realize that the road was blocked and there was a carriage waiting not far away and could not pass.

Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Shuiling quickly bowed and admitted their mistakes, but the other party was the one who blushed with anger because of the one silver "toll".

Le Zheng Shui Ling was busy refusing, "We don't know each other, how can we let your young lady pay for this? Absolutely not, please take it back and thank your young lady for us."

"Don't be polite."

Le Zheng Shuiling thought about it and realized that she was the one who caused this trouble. She looked at Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Yuhua who also looked very angry.

"How about this, we borrow it first and return it to you later?"

She didn't force him to give it, but instead handed the silver over with a smile.

"That's fine. Come on, give it to me."

Le Zheng Shuiling reached out to take the silver, being extremely respectful throughout.

"Humph, you want us to give way for just a few silver coins. Aren't you looking down on us?"

Faced with the other party's arrogance and rudeness, the woman remained polite and smiled.

"Then may I ask how much money you want before you are willing to give way?"

"How dare a mere maid use money to insult noble Taoists like us?"

In their view, this girl was just a maid of a wealthy family in the city. No matter how rich she was, she should be inferior to others because she was not from a Taoist family.

"Hahaha, how noble. It's a simple matter for us to ask you to make way, but seeing that you love money so much, I just want to get rid of you. Since that doesn't work, there's no harm in forcing your way through."

At some point, a woman appeared on the carriage, lying on her back with a long, thin pipe in her hand. The three men felt that she looked familiar.

He just gently waved the pipe in his hand, and they were all pushed to the side by an invisible force. Before they could react, he used magic to throw the silver in Le Zheng Shuiling's hand into their faces, leaving them no chance to get angry.

"let's go."

He tapped the horse's butt lightly with his pipe and the horse started walking, taking small steps, holding its head high and chest puffed out, as elegant and dignified as a lady.

"Then we'll take our leave first. See you later."

The girl in the light green skirt suddenly looked like a gangster and gave a standard fist-clasping salute.

When the carriage reached the side, she turned around, got on, and moved away with it.

After their carriage had gone far away, Le Zheng Shui Ling suddenly remembered something important and chased after them, shouting, "How should I return the money to you? May I ask your young lady's name?"

The carriage had already gone far away, and Le Zheng Shui Ling could do nothing about it.

"You are here for the banquet, Taoists from other families, right?"

A small vendor nearby asked.

"Yes."

"No wonder you didn't recognize it, that's Miss Mu's carriage."

"Miss Mu?"

Even the three men were shocked. When they thought of their attitude just now, they really regretted it. They were afraid that the people around them would remember their appearance, so they covered their faces and ran away in shame.

"Yes, I see it occasionally."

Le Zheng Shui Ling asked excitedly: "Have you ever met Miss Mu?"

He shook his head.

"Although Miss Mu's carriage can be seen occasionally on the street, Miss Mu has never shown up, and very few people in the city have seen her. It is said that even many people in the Mu Mansion have never seen her, so how could I have that chance?"

"What a shame, what a shame. If you had told me earlier, I would have gone to take a look."

"This...is not good."

Le Zheng Qiming knew that she was not just talking, so he quickly hugged Le Zheng Shuiling's hand. Even if she looked at him, he would just turn away.

"This guy, it would be bad if he rushed over."

"Qi Ming must have thought that I would rush over and force myself to watch. Am I that kind of person? Really."

"It seems that the matter has been resolved, so shall we go back?"

Le Zhengli made a "please" gesture, but Le Zheng Qiming still held Le Zheng Shuiling tightly. Le Zheng Shuiling did not struggle either, and the two of them walked like a three-legged race.

Le Zhengli followed closely behind, unable to help but grinning. When he noticed Le Zheng Yuhua was looking at him, he slowed down his pace and walked with him.

"Master Uncle Li should be able to easily settle this matter if he steps in, right?"

Le Zhengli smiled, neither admitting nor denying, but asked: "If Miss Mu's carriage hadn't happened to arrive, how would nephew Yuhua solve it?"

Le Zheng Yuhua replied bluntly: "Why waste your breath on such a scoundrel?"

"My three great-nephews are the sons of Taoist priests. How can we deal with three Taoist priests?" Le Zhengli observed the changes in his expression. It seemed that he had just realized something. Seeing that he did not speak, he smiled and said, "My great-nephew Yuhua has a lot to learn."

Looking at his back, Le Zheng Yuhua frowned.
