“Hmm? So Mr. He is that formidable?”
Upon hearing those words, Zhong Xiuyun couldn't help but be startled.
She had originally thought that He Xiuyuan had actively sought out this Fortune Teller, which would imply that the Fortune Teller was the more formidable one.
But looking at the situation now, had she been mistaken?
“He is naturally formidable.”
The Willow Tree Demon immediately nodded and said upon hearing this.
How could a Cultivator with a legitimate Legacy not be formidable?
Just yesterday, he didn't seem to use any Spell, yet he saw through his illusion with just a glance. How could that not be formidable?
Zhong Xiuyun nodded upon hearing this. After hearing what the other party said, she immediately prepared to get up and leave.
Since He Xiuyuan was so formidable, she didn't seem to have any need to linger here any longer. It would be better to catch up with He Xiuyuan.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyun also stood up. She had finished asking the questions she wanted to ask. To prevent He Xiuyuan from going too far for her to catch up, she decided to set off now and follow him.
The Willow Tree Demon watched Zhong Xiuyun stand up and immediately understood that she was preparing to leave.
Seeing this, the Willow Tree Demon's expression instantly turned anxious. He rubbed his hands and looked at Zhong Xiuyun, asking, “Um, Young Miss, are you planning to chase after Mr. He?”
Zhong Xiuyun looked back at the Willow Tree Demon upon hearing this, then nodded, “Do you have something, sir?”
At this moment, Zhong Xiuyun looked at the other party's appearance and confirmed that He Xiuyuan was indeed much more formidable than him, which was why the other party's demeanor was so humble at this moment.
It wasn't like just now, when she had just approached him, wanting to test his fortune-telling Spell, and was directly waved to stop by him.
At that time, the other party looked completely unwilling to tell her fortune.
“Um, may I trouble you, Young Miss, after you meet Mr. He, could you please ask him to come here for a visit?”
He was a Willow Tree Demon. He couldn't leave here until his cultivation reached a certain level and he had transformed. If he wanted to see He Xiuyuan, he could only ask the other party to come.
However, Zhong Xiuyun shook her head upon hearing this, “Mr. He and I actually only met once. I already told you just now that I am not very familiar with Mr. He. As for inviting him to come for a visit, I cannot do that.”
According to what this Fortune Teller himself had just said, Young Master He had originally come to find him, but he himself had used an illusion and missed this opportunity.
If that was the case, she couldn't help much, not to mention that the other party could clearly go find him himself. Why did he need her to invite him?
To want to see the other party but also want the other party to come find him, this posture was a bit too arrogant.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyun bowed again to the Fortune Teller and turned to leave.
The Willow Tree Demon watched Zhong Xiuyun turn and leave, instantly becoming extremely anxious. He wanted to call out to her but didn't know how to make her agree to his request.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as she got into the carriage and left.
Meanwhile, the La蛤蟆 beside him was overjoyed at this sight. It knew that the Willow Tree Demon couldn't move, so he couldn't go find He Xiuyuan.
But it was different! It could move!
Thinking of this, the Toad Demon immediately started moving, hopping along and preparing to chase after Zhong Xiuyun.
The Willow Tree Demon had seen Mr. He and knew what he looked like, but it didn't know, so it could only follow Zhong Xiuyun.
“Liu Gong, thank you very much this time. Although you didn't tell my fortune, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that this Cultivator was here. I will go find this Mr. He.”
“At that time, I only need to ask him for some guidance, and then I hope to transform. At the very least, I will gain some guidance.”
The Toad Demon's eyes were filled with joy as it spoke.
The Willow Tree Demon immediately became anxious upon hearing this. The thing he had longed for for so long was now being taken away by the other party. His face instantly filled with anxiety.
“Then, when you see Mr. He, can you also help me ask him?”
Saying this, the Willow Tree Demon looked at the Toad Demon with a pleading expression, “After all, in all these years, I have also done many good deeds...”
The Toad Demon, however, scoffed, “Unfortunately, you didn't do those good deeds when Mr. He was present, did you?”
“As for helping you ask, I begged you all day long to tell my fortune, and you refused. Why should I help you?”
“You old tree, just sit here and wither away.”
After speaking, the Toad Demon turned and followed Zhong Xiuyun, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The Willow Tree Demon's expression instantly became incredibly ugly upon seeing this. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but no words would come out.
After a long while, he finally let out a soft sigh, thinking that he truly didn't have that fate.
........
“Lin Bo, faster, catch up with Young Master He.”
After getting the answer from the Fortune Teller, Zhong Xiuyun became even more curious about He Xiuyuan.
After getting into the carriage, she urged Lin Bo to speed up and catch up with He Xiuyuan.
Lin Bo, who was driving the carriage, looked helplessly at his Young Miss upon hearing this, but still sped up.
He didn't know what exactly his Young Miss was so captivated by that person, to be so concerned about him.
However, seeing that this person had interacted with his Young Miss a few times before and didn't seem to be pestering her, he should not be a bad person.
Otherwise, the one doing the pestering should have a different identity.
Thinking of this, Lin Bo also lowered his guard against He Xiuyuan slightly.
The carriage sped along the road, and behind them followed a Toad Demon.
The Toad Demon's hopping speed wasn't fast, but it just kept following behind the carriage, showing no signs of being shaken off.
When evening arrived, Zhong Xiuyun finally saw the carriage in the distance.
Zhong Xiuyun was very familiar with the style of this carriage; she recognized it as He Xiuyuan's at a glance.
Seeing that she had finally caught up with He Xiuyuan, Zhong Xiuyun's heart instantly filled with joy, and she had Lin Bo pull closer.
As Zhong Xiuyun approached, she saw He Xiuyuan sitting in the front, seemingly lost in thought.
“Young Master He.”
Looking at He Xiuyuan beside her, Zhong Xiuyun cleared her throat and called out softly.
He Xiuyuan came back to his senses upon hearing the voice and immediately saw Zhong Xiuyun, who had lifted the curtain, beside him.
“So it's Young Miss Zhong.”
He Xiuyuan cupped his hands at Zhong Xiuyun, greeting her.
Zhong Xiuyun was also very happy to see He Xiuyuan, but her expression remained calm.
“May I ask where Young Master He plans to stay tonight? If it's convenient, could we stay together? That way, this servant will feel more at ease.”
Zhong Xiuyun widened her beautiful eyes and blinked as she asked He Xiuyuan.
Steward Song, who was driving the carriage, was slightly startled when he saw Zhong Xiuyun beside them.
When did He Xiuyuan meet this beauty?
