Chapter 153 Good to be a teacher
Li Daoxuan walked quite fast along the way, and his leg strength was not much worse than that of an ordinary adult.

The Zhao family’s old house was only twenty miles away from Dingjiao Town, but it took him a whole night to walk there.

It was nothing, just because he got lost on the way and went a long way off the track. If it weren't for Li Xiangyu's timely reminder, Li Daoxuan would have headed all the way to Mount Mao.

They did encounter wolves on the way, but with Gong Youwei and Li Xiangyu there, the wolves just wandered around for a while before leaving. Although they were fierce and cunning, they also knew the danger. Although the little rabbit was a rabbit spirit, it was still a demon in disguise. The hundreds of years of practice were not in vain, and it was easy to deal with a few wolves.

So Li Daoxuan was safe when traveling at night.

After rushing back to Dingjiao Town, he saw the Zhao family's funeral procession approaching from afar.

Including the day when the eldest son of the Zhao family died, it has been three days. This happened to be the day when the funeral was held together with the second son of the Zhao family.

He saw Zhao Laosan in the team and also saw Mrs. Zhao, but thinking of the current situation of the Zhao family, he did not disturb them abruptly.

When she passed by the teahouse, she heard someone talking loudly about the Zhao family's affairs, so she curiously planned to chat with this young man. However, who knew that this young man had bad intentions, so she asked Gong Youwei to give her a severe lesson.

I can only say that in this era, these masters and young masters really know how to have fun.

Arriving at the side door of the Zhao family, Li Daoxuan knocked on the door.

Not long after, a servant opened the door to check and found that the visitor was the young Taoist priest invited by Zhao Laosan. He hurriedly welcomed him in and served him tea and snacks.

The servant said that Zhao Laosan had gone to attend the funeral and would not be back until the afternoon, so Li Daoxuan should wait patiently.

Li Daoxuan was not polite either. He ate snacks and drank tea, and sat on a chair to rest his feet. He picked up a piece of cake and fed it to Gong Youwei. He saw that the little rabbit ate it with relish.

"Very sweet." Gong Youwei commented. "But it tastes good."

"Then eat some more." Li Daoxuan gave her a few more pieces of cake, then stood up and walked towards his residence.

Along the way, there were only white mourning cloths hung everywhere and silent maids. No one dared to speak. The atmosphere at home was particularly depressing, as if some storm was brewing.

Only some of the maids would inadvertently reveal expressions of surprise and surprise on their faces when they saw Li Daoxuan. They all bowed to Li Daoxuan, and then whispered about him with the other maids.

"Why is this little Taoist priest back?"

"Didn't he go out with the young master? Why the young master?"

"Shh, don't mention it."

The maids spoke in whispers, then lowered their heads and hurried away.

Li Daoxuan heard something and knew that these maids were wondering how he came back alive.

After all, the eldest son of the Zhao family is dead, but this Taoist priest is fine. Is there something strange about him, the Taoist priest?
Li Daoxuan naturally ignored the maids' gossip and walked to his residence and pushed the door open. He saw Li Yanming carefully wiping a peach wood sword. After hearing the noise, he turned around and showed a look of joy when he saw him.

"Master! You're finally back!" Li Yanming let out a long sigh as if he had unloaded something. "If Master hadn't come back, I would have had to go to Nanjing to attend the funeral."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could anything happen to me, young master?" Li Daoxuan scolded angrily. "Even if the sky falls, young master, I will be fine. You are just worrying about it."

"It was the young master who said it himself. If he doesn't come back within three days," Li Yanming complained. "I hope every day that the young master will come back safely."

"Don't worry, young master, I am blessed with a long life." Li Daoxuan sat on the couch, took off his shoes and relaxed his body. He placed Gong Youwei on the table, then looked at the peach wood sword.

"My peach wood sword?"

"Yes, the third young master of the Zhao family gave it to me. He said it was the young master's thing and asked me to keep it well." Li Yanming replied.

"Anything else?"

"The young master's iron sword is also here, but it has a hole in it. The third young master of the Zhao family said that he would give the young master a better sword when he comes back."

"So that's how it is. Go get me a basin of hot water. I want to take a shower, young master." Li Daoxuan felt much more relieved when he saw the peach wood sword.

He asked Li Yanming to help him get a bucket of hot water to remove the dirt that had accumulated over the past few days.

After all, he couldn't stand not washing for a few days. Although there were cleansing talismans available, it was still not as good as washing with water to remove fatigue and stains.

"Okay." Li Yanming agreed quickly and trotted out to get hot water.

After Li Yanming left, Gong Youwei, who was lying on the table, turned into a human and sat on it. She had a cake in her mouth, and her clothes changed into a simple jacket and skirt. She crossed her legs and swayed, not noticing how unsightly her sitting posture was.

"Is this where you live? It's so beautiful!" Gong Youwei looked around the room curiously. The exquisite decoration and classical furniture made her eyes widen.

Although this rabbit has already become a spirit, it does not dare to go to crowded places. After all, it is still a rabbit spirit that has never seen the world. This time, it saw the living environment of the rich, which was the first time to broaden its horizons.
Compared to this place, the house she built herself was just a "nest" at best.

"This is not my place, it's where I live in someone else's house. After we settle our wages, we have to leave here." Li Daoxuan smiled, and then patted the seat next to him. "Come sit here, it's not elegant to sit on the table."

"Oh, OK." Gong Youwei nodded in confusion, jumped down from the table with a "Hey Yo", squeezed next to Li Daoxuan, and took his arm with a smile. "What is this called? It's really comfortable to sit on, soft, softer than a grass nest, just like the futon in the temple."

"This is called a couch, and it's covered with a woolen cushion. That's a mirror, and here's a wardrobe..." Li Daoxuan introduced the furniture in the house to Gong Youwei, and Gong Youwei listened with great interest.

When she heard Li Yanming's voice outside, she quickly turned into a rabbit and hid beside Li Daoxuan.

"Master, the water temperature is ready." Li Yanming called.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Li Daoxuan responded, and then told Gong Youwei not to run around. He went into the side room, undressed and prepared to take a bath.

Wiping his body with the warm water in the bucket, he felt comfortable all over. The tiredness of the past few days slowly dissipated, and Li Daoxuan washed off the dust on his body.

Close your eyes, meditate, and cultivate your spirit.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the girl said timidly: "Um, do you want me to help you wash?"

".No need." Li Daoxuan refused decisively.

"Okay." Seemingly a little disappointed, the girl tiptoed away.

When Li Daoxuan came out of the shower, he saw her sitting on the couch, looking at something.

"Why do you want to help me take a bath?" Li Daoxuan asked curiously.

"I read it in a book." Gong Youwei said, pointing at the book in her hand.

She looked at it very seriously, but there was a hint of pink on her face.

Li Daoxuan frowned and snatched the book. He saw that the cover was a folk vernacular novel "Pai'an Jingqi".

Looking at the content again, there is a section where a woman is scrubbing a man's back. After flipping through a few pages, I saw some bold content.

He decisively closed the book and sternly educated Gong Youwei: "Don't read such messy books in the future."

"Why? I think it's quite interesting."

"This is not something you can watch. You are still a little goblin." Li Daoxuan said righteously.

He suddenly remembered Gong Youwei's age and felt it was a little strange.

Gong Youwei naturally would not refute and agreed to him very seriously.

"Where did you find it?"

"Here." Gong Youwei pointed to the bed where Li Yanming was sleeping.

".Good boy, you dare to read these things when I'm not around." Li Daoxuan immediately felt that he should teach Li Yanming a lesson. It is not okay for him to read such books at such a young age.

Li Yanming happened to come in, and Gong Youwei quickly turned into a white rabbit and jumped into Li Daoxuan's arms.

"Young Master, you've been outside for so long, you must be hungry. I brought you some food." Li Yanming put the dishes on the table and said to Li Daoxuan.

He saw Li Daoxuan holding a book in his hand and looking at him seriously.

"Young Master." Li Yanming's face flushed and he stammered.

"Xiao Mingzi, come and tell the young master what this book is about?" Li Daoxuan asked slowly.
