Chapter 189: Intend

"There's also this matter?"

Madam Jia, who had been certain that her husband had been deceived, felt a hint of doubt rise in her expression after hearing Xiao Gui Zi's reply.

Could it be that Immortals truly exist in this world? But is that even possible?

"You both said that Expert dispelled the Yin Qi from the well?"

Madam Jia seemed to recall something at this moment and asked.

The two were a bit confused but immediately nodded.

"Yes, we saw with our own eyes that after the golden characters fell into the well, some black Qi emerged from it. There's no mistake about that."

Treasurer Jia, standing nearby, also spoke up, "Madam, rest assured, I will immediately make arrangements for the servants to only fetch water from outside from now on, and not drink from that well anymore."

Madam Jia listened to this and couldn't help but glance coquettishly at her husband, "My dear, you're muddled. If that person truly is an Immortal, and the well water has been blessed by an Immortal, why wouldn't you drink it? Why drink the water from outside? Perhaps this well water, blessed by an Immortal, would be very beneficial for our health if we drank it?"

Treasurer Jia was stunned for a moment, then, after thinking carefully, he nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Madam is right. I forgot about that and still thought the well water was a bit unclean...."

Treasurer Jia nodded repeatedly at this moment, immediately preparing to continue drinking from this well in the future.

"Come with me to see the well."

Madam Jia thought for a moment and decided to go take a look at the well.

She suddenly remembered a maid mentioning this before, saying that when she went to fetch water from this well, she felt it was a bit eerie and always felt uncomfortable.

After that, she also went to look at the well with full of doubts and indeed found it a bit unsettling.

However, over the years, nothing had happened near the well, so Madam Jia thought about it and didn't take the matter to heart.

Now, hearing the two of them talk about it, she became interested.

Since that Immortal Master had already resolved the problem in the well, then going to see the well now should no longer feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, she immediately stepped out and walked towards the well.

Treasurer Jia and the other man were confused but quickly followed.

A moment later, the three arrived at the well.

Madam Jia leaned slightly and looked into the well. After a moment, she looked up, "Before, looking at this well always gave me an uncomfortable feeling, but now that uncomfortable feeling has indeed vanished."

"It seems, my dear, what you said is true. Today, we truly encountered an Immortal."

Speaking of this, Madam Jia's eyes sparkled, a smile on her face, and her heart also relaxed at this moment.

If so, then she should be able to conceive a child in the future.

Madam Jia pondered for a moment, then her gaze immediately fell on Xiao Gui Zi.

"Xiao Gui Zi, you haven't mentioned today's events to anyone else, have you?"

Xiao Gui Zi was confused but quickly shook his head, "Madam, rest assured, I haven't breathed a word of today's events to anyone."

"Good, that's good. Remember, keep today's matter to yourself. Do not tell outsiders, understand?"

Madam Jia looked at Xiao Gui Zi and said gently.

"Madam, why is that so?"

Treasurer Jia was a bit surprised. Such a matter as encountering an Immortal, wouldn't it bring much fame to their Jia Residence if word got out?

Why couldn't such a thing be spoken of?

Madam Jia saw her husband's confusion and immediately explained, "My dear, we have already benefited from encountering an Immortal. That Immortal comes and goes mysteriously; no one knows where this Immortal has gone."

"If today's events were to spread, attracting some people to pry and come to interrogate us about the Immortal's whereabouts, what then?"

Treasurer Jia was startled, then after thinking about it, his expression changed slightly.

Yes.

Without mentioning anything else, just the Prefect of Tianxin Prefecture, if he knew about this, it would be hard to guarantee he wouldn't use some means.

Although their family had some wealth, if the government officials really set their sights on them, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Treasurer Jia looked at Xiao Gui Zi, "Today's matter must not be spread to anyone else's ears. Do you understand?"

Xiao Gui Zi had already understood and nodded quickly at this moment.

"Master and Madam, rest assured, what happened today will absolutely not be spread from Xiao Gui Zi's mouth!"

Xiao Gui Zi also quickly expressed his stance at this moment.

Both of them nodded in satisfaction at his words.

"Since Master mentioned earlier that he wanted to invite that Immortal to the child's full moon banquet, perhaps that Immortal has already calculated when our child's full moon banquet will be."

"You have seen that Immortal. In the future, you need to worry more about matters in the residence. If you see that Immortal, you must entertain him well and invite him into the residence, understood?"

Madam Jia looked at Xiao Gui Zi and began to instruct him.

It was impossible for her husband to guard the entrance every day like a servant, so this matter could only be entrusted to Xiao Gui Zi.

Having treated that Immortal lightly before, it could still be said that they were ignorant of a True Immortal, which was understandable.

But if this Immortal came a second time and was still treated lightly, then they would certainly have no further connection with that Immortal.

This matter, upon closer thought, also seemed extraordinarily important.

Xiao Gui Zi heard this and immediately nodded, "Master and Madam, rest assured, from now on, I, Xiao Gui Zi, will guard the main gate of the Jia Residence. If that Immortal truly comes, I, Xiao Gui Zi, will definitely be the first to know!"

"At that time, I will certainly not neglect the Immortal."

Xiao Gui Zi's words reassured both of them.

Such matters concerning Immortals are not good to speak of externally. Even for the servants of the Jia Residence, the less they know, the better.

Now, with Xiao Gui Zi knowing and having met He Xiuyuan, things would be much easier; this matter could be completely entrusted to him.

"Oh, right, you go to the streets again tomorrow and see if you can still find this Immortal."

Although they didn't keep him overnight, if he hadn't left Tianxin Prefecture yet, they should prepare another banquet to entertain him.

Madam Jia had previously thought He Xiuyuan was like a Jianghu charlatan, not daring to stay overnight for fear of being exposed on the spot.

But now she no longer had such thoughts; what she was thinking was still to entertain him once and thank him properly.

Treasurer Jia nodded quickly, in full agreement with this matter.

"I understand, I will go look for that Immortal He first thing tomorrow morning!"

Xiao Gui Zi quickly responded, preparing to go look for He Xiuyuan again tomorrow.

Madam Jia also felt a hint of anticipation rise in her heart.

She truly hadn't expected an Immortal to actually come to the Jia Residence before, and she had never seen what an Immortal looked like.
