Chapter 61: Shame in Public
Without waiting for Lu Zijia to reply, Lu Wanyuan showed a conscious expression like something had crossed her mind.
"Oh I know. You should be here to buy talisman paper for the masters in the Special Administration Office, right?
“Sister, it looks like you are quite popular among the masters in the Office of Special Administration.”
Even though Lu Wanyuan had an envious expression on his face, he insinuated that Lu Zijia was just someone who was running errands for masters.
Lu Zijia could definitely understand the meaning behind his words, so she smiled gently, “You know very well my situation at the Special Administration Office.
"People who don't know anything will think that you're paying attention to me!"
The daughter of a mistress is watching over the daughter of a legitimate wife. If this were to spread, it wouldn't sound like much fun.
Lu Wanyuan's expression changed as he immediately explained, “Sister, you think too much. I'm just guessing.”
"Oh? Just guess?”
Lu Zijia showed a sudden expression of consciousness, but her tone sounded like there was an incredible meaning within, which made one feel that there must be something fishy behind it.
As expected, the people standing around, who were listening to their conversation, all looked at Lu Wanyuan with strange gazes.
Lu Wanyuan was quite calm. Even when everyone looked at him with a strange look, his expression only changed slightly.
“Ehem.”
When Lu Wanyuan wanted to explain himself, the young Taoist priest among the two Taoist priests who had come with him coughed intentionally to remind Lu Wanyuan that they were here.
Lu Wanyuan ignored Lu Zijia and quickly apologized to the old Taoist priest, “Sorry, Mr. Dedao. This is my sister.
“My sister didn't come home last night due to an unpleasant quarrel with our family. I'm a little worried about him, so I ignored you for a moment. Sir, please forgive me," Lu Wanyuan said pitifully to apologize to Mr. Dedao and smear Lu Zijia at the same time.
He had to say that Lu Wanyuan's plans were really everywhere.
“Your brother is Lu Zijia? I heard that he was lucky enough to enter the Special Administrative Office of the Capital.
“People who can get into the Office of Special Administration are all quite capable, no exception. What is your brother good at?”
The young Taoist priest standing next to the old Taoist priest judged Lu Zijia with disdain with his face full of arrogance.
He immediately spoke like he was showing charity, “It just so happens that my master is here now. He might be able to teach your sister something.”
Although Lu Wanyuan did not understand how Lu Zijia offended Master Dedao's student, he was very happy to see someone finding fault with Lu Zijia and was willing to cooperate.
“I will thank my sister first, sir. However, my sister was able to enter the Special Administration Office not because of her special abilities but.”.
"Mastering! Master it! Teacher, I've finally found you. It was absolutely incredible!”
Before Lu Wanyuan finished speaking, an excited voice sounded in everyone's ears.
After hearing the word "master", Master Dedao and the young Taoist priest both displayed an even more arrogant look as if they were superior Taoist masters who hated humans.
“My master wasn't around for a few days. If you want to make a reservation, wait a few days!” the young Taoist priest turned around and said arrogantly before seeing who had come clearly.
Lu Wanyuan also thought that the person who said that was very happy because he recognized Master Dedao.
However, what happened next left him a little stunned.
Young Taoist priests and Mr. Dedao even blushed in embarrassment as if they were being humiliated.
It turned out, after the middle-aged man rushed inside the shop, he did not even look towards Master Dedao but instead directly ran towards Lu Zijia.
“Master, I didn't expect to see you here. How wonderful!"
“I really have to thank you for the last time. If it wasn't for you, I might not be alive anymore, and my family would be ruined. Master, you are truly a living immortal being! ” the middle-aged man said with tears in his eyes emotionally. Not only that, he even fused his palms together and bowed to Lu Zijia as if she was truly an immortal being.
Lu Zijia who bowed, "..."
Although he really wanted to rise and become an immortal as well, he was just a beginner who had not even reached the first level of Qi Training.
So, he was still very far from being immortal!
Not getting a response from Lu Zijia, the middle-aged man suddenly realized that this master might not remember who he was.
After all, this master was very capable. There must be a lot of people asking for his help.
“Master, Sir, do you still remember me? My Uncle Driver. That's how you called me back then.
“You even gave me a talisman that folded with money and asked me to disassemble it when I came back.
“Luckily, I didn't dismantle that talisman back then, or I might not be able to see you again right now.
“I will keep your great kindness in my mind forever, sir. If you want to take a taxi in the future, just call me. I guarantee to get there whenever you call me and it will be free, ” said the driver while removing the card from his pocket, handing it to Lu Zijia solemnly after wiping it carefully.
What the driver said and his feisty and respectful attitude were undoubtedly a great insult to Master Dedao, his student, and Lu Wanyuan, who thought that they were superior.
After all, Lu Wanyuan said that Lu Zijia did not have any special abilities back then.
However, Lu Zijia, who had no special abilities, saved one's life and was called a master with respect. If this isn't embarrassing, then what is it?
Lu Zijia picked up the card the driver gave her as if she did not realize how pale Lu Wanyuan and the others' faces were.
"I'm flattered. After all, you are only escaping the havoc of your life just because it is not yet time for your life to end. ”
After all, he did not remind the driver many times back then. It was the driver's choice that he did not dismantle the talisman, which proved that it was not yet time for him to die.
“No, no, no, it's because you're impressive. Sir, you are an immortal sentient being,” he said as he bowed to Lu Zijia again.
Lu Zijia “...”
If he bowed to her again, she would charge him!
“Zijia, is what she said.. true?” Uncle Xu, who was watching everything behind the counter, looked at Lu Zijia in shock and asked uncertainly.
He knew that Lu Zijia entered the Office of Special Administration with her connections.
But isn't Lu Zijia just an ordinary person? Why would someone call his master now?
Besides, it doesn't look fake at all.
“Hm! You are trying to trick us with such a little trick! ” the young Taoist priest snorted and said with disdain before Lu Zijia answered him.
“Everyone knows that talismans can only be drawn with talisman paper and you said you folded the talisman with money back then? That's really weird. It's bullshit!
"You can still fool people outside the industry with this little trick, but it's really ridiculous that you dare to play a trick in front of my master, this true Toaist master."
Although Master Dedao did not say anything, his old face that pretended to be superior had already explained everything.
“Why are you talking like this? Even if you can't do it, that doesn't mean this master can't either. Teachers are eternal beings. Anything is possible. If you don't know anything, don't pretend like you know.”
The driver instantly looked annoyed when his savior was in doubt, and his face became tense as if he was going to hit the young Taoist priest if he dared to say anything bad about Lu Zijia again.
