Liu Chong instructed Yiwushe to sail out of the city center. After three minutes of traveling, they came to a water village composed of green wooden houses in the east of the city.

There is a wide circular platform in front of the water village, where many residents holding fruits and vegetables set up stalls and hawks, and the lively level is not inferior to the center of the city.

Liu Chong led Shi Wu and the other two to the platform. He kindly greeted the old man who set up the stall here. When they arrived at the stall of an old goatee, Liu Chong introduced to Shi Wu and Lu Heng: "Senior Shi, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Zhou sold the fruit called Jiang Potato, which is a specialty from our east of the city. The Jiang Potato is very sweet when steaming or roasting it in. You can also cut a few slices when cooking porridge, so that it will definitely make the porridge taste better."

Shi Wu asked the old man surnamed Zhou, "Brother-in-law, I wonder how to sell this Jiang potato?"

The old man surnamed Zhou said, "You are Xiao Liu's friends, so just pick ten of them at any lower-grade spirit stone."

This was the first time Lu Heng saw this Jiangshu. He asked, "Grandpa, is this Jiangshu delicious or is it delicious with long strips?"

The old man surnamed Zhou smiled and said, "It's just as delicious."

Shi Wu said to Lu Heng: "Go and pick ten."

Liu Chong also wanted to help Shi Wu pay, so Shi Wu took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it to the old man surnamed Zhou. Shi Wu said: "It's already very troublesome if I ask you to accompany me to buy vegetables. How can you still ask you to pay for me?"

Liu Chong stopped insisting after hearing this.

Shi Wu said to Lu Ju on the side: "Miss Lu wants to buy some?"

Before Lu Ju could reply, Liu Chong had already said to her: "Senior Shi, don't worry about Xiao Ju. She eats and lives in our Yifang, so she won't be hungry."

Shi Wu said oh, took out a storage bag and squatted down, asking Lu Heng to put Jiangshu into the storage bag first.

Lu Ju stared at Liu Chong hatefully, secretly blaming him for robbing the opportunity to talk to Shi Wu.

Shiwu and the others were led by Liu Chong, and the four of them visited the stalls of all sizes on this platform. There are many varieties of spiritual vegetables here, but the meat is mainly fish in the river.

Shi Wu and Lu Heng bought a variety of spiritual vegetables and then bought a three-pound double-tailed bass and a large bag of lively river shrimps.

Lu Heng asked Liu Chong excitedly on the boat he returned, "Brother Liu, how does this three-inch long river shrimp taste like?"

Liu Chong said: "The meat of this shrimp is tight. You can go back and steam it or add ingredients and stir-fry it."

"Xiao Liu's house is here in the east of the city. I see you are very familiar with those stall owners." Shi Wudao.

Liu Chong nodded and said, "I grew up in Qingmushui Village in the east of the city. My spiritual roots are relatively poor, and I have no future in practicing. Fortunately, I am not eloquent, so I went to Yiwu House to be a servant after being introduced. I like this job very much. Not only can I earn spiritual stones to support my family, but I can also see powerful monks like you."

Shi Wu looked at Liu Chong's cheerful smile, and he also smiled and said, "If you know what you want and have fun from it, you have surpassed many powerful monks."

"Really?" This was the first time that Liu Chong was praised like this.

Shi Wu confirmed: "Really."

Lu Heng suddenly asked, "What does that immortal want?"

Liu Chong and Lu Ju also looked at Shi Wu.

Shi Wu laughed and said, "I want my family to be safe and reunite with them as soon as possible."

Seeing that this had already involved Shi Wu's privacy, Lu Heng apologized: "Immortal, I'm sorry."

Shi Wu said disapprovingly: "I'm sorry for anything, this is not something that cannot be said."

Then Shi Wu asked Liu Chong how to store the spiritual vegetables. Liu Chong told him that he could go to the city store to buy a magic weapon called the Spirit Store Box. This magic weapon can keep the spiritual vegetables fresh. If the spiritual fish can be surrounded by a square net in the water outside their mansion, keep all the fish and shrimps you bought in, and catch them when you want to eat.

Shi Wu kept these two objects in his heart and planned to buy them when Nie Fan took him out for a walk.

It was noon when Liu Chong sent Shi Wu and the others back to the south of the mansion. After he and Lu Ju bowed to Shi Wu and said goodbye, they continued to take a boat to go back to Yiwu House.

Liu Chong and Lu Ju entered from the waterfront west of Yi House. Seeing that Lu Ju was not heading towards the canteen, Liu Chong asked, "Xiao Ju, aren't you hungry?"

Lu Ju said in a low mood: "Brother Liu, I'm a little tired. You go to have a meal first, I'll have a rest."

"Okay." Liu Chong went to the canteen by himself after hearing this.

Lu Ju entered the hall of Yiwu House, where many servants were introducing the house to the guests. She walked straight to her lounge in Yiwu House. As soon as she entered, her figure was reported to be in a one-bedroom mansion in Jiangling City.

Xu Zhong and a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes were playing chess in the courtyard of this mansion.

When Lu Ju saw the two, he saluted and said, "Xiao Ju has met Uncle Yuan and Uncle Xu."

The man who was called Uncle Yuan by Lu Ju looked at her and said, "How do you meet Shi Wu today?"

Lu Ju did not reply to the man surnamed Yuan, but blamed Xu Zhong: "Uncle Xu, didn't you tell you not to tell Uncle Yuan? You won't tell my father again, right?"

The man surnamed Yuan laughed and said, "Xiao Ju, your Uncle Xu told me only. You don't think about it. If your father knew that you had someone you like, he would come over in a hurry. In fact, your Uncle Xu was just worried that you would be cheated and notified me. No matter how I say that they are all the masters of Jiangling City, I can't let my old brother's daughter suffer a loss here."

It turns out that this man is the lord of Jiangling City - Yuan Jie.

Lu Ju didn't blame Xu Zhong again after hearing Yuan Jie's words. She curled her lips and said, "Didn't my father say he will not care about my affairs in the future? If you and Uncle Xu had taken me in, I wouldn't know where I was now. The most annoying thing was that he actually claimed that if someone provided me with a place to practice, then he and that person would not even have to do anything with friends. Humph, if you don't practice, you won't practice. I'm going to serve tea and water to others."

Yuan Jie put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box with a headache. He advised: "How can there be an overnight revenge between father and daughter? He agreed to Baihuazhuang's proposal without your consent. But you really shouldn't have cut off the father-daughter relationship with him in front of so many disciples of Zixiao Sect in anger. How could you let him get out of the stage?"

Lu Ju obviously regretted it, but she still said stubbornly: "He did the wrong first!"

Yuan Jie really wanted to tell Lu Ju that if her father Lu Zhen had notified him in advance, how could he have met her so coincidental outside, let alone brought her back to Jiangling City to settle down. Yuan Jie sighed in his heart: "I feel sorry for parents in the world."

When Lu Ju saw Yuan Jie thinking about the matter, she explained: "Uncle Yuan, if you reveal this to my father, you will not lose a good brother, but your niece will definitely not come to Jiangling City again."

Yuan Jie begged for mercy and said, "You can let you go Uncle Yuan. One of you is my old brother and the other is my niece who I grew up with since childhood. I don't want to offend either. I just want to live happily in Jiangling City."

Lu Ju smiled and said, "Don't worry if Uncle Yuan said this."

Yuan Jie returned to the main topic and said: "You haven't said how you met Shi Wu today?"

Lu Ju said indignantly: "What else can you do? Liu Chong's mouth never stopped. Shi Wu clearly asked me some of the words, but in the end he finished talking to Liu Chong."

Xu Zhong couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Liu has always been good at eloquence."

Yuan Jie asked, "Do you still fall in love with him at first sight today?"

Lu Ju admitted: "Well! But he didn't care much about me. His little brother asked him what he wanted most, and what he was returning was peace and reunion with his family as soon as possible."

"Oh? It seems that he is still a member of the Gu family." Yuan Jie emphasized.

Lu Ju said a little disappointedly: "Uncle Yuan, do you think he already has a Taoist partner?"

Yuan Jie shook his head and said, "How could Uncle Yuan know about this?"

"Uncle Yuan, do you think if I told her that I was the young sect of Zixiao Sect, would he have a good impression of me?" Lu Ju said.

Yuan Jie only felt that feelings were really unreasonable. Lu Ju, who had previously left Zixiao Sect for marriage, now wants to approach Shi Wu as the young sect of Zixiao Sect. He advised: "Xiao Ju, Uncle Yuan needs to remind you, if you tell him your identity, will he like you or Zixiao Sect?"

Lu Ju said indifferently: "This is the identity I have since I was born. If he passes through my identity first and then likes me, I can accept this change."

Yuan Jie said in surprise: "I remember that Lin Qiong, the young owner of Baihua Village, is also a romantic and suave person, and is a top among the younger generation. Why didn't you fall in love with him but instead fell in love with an outsider who had no identity?"

"I have seen Lin Qiong, but he and Shi Wu give me a completely different feeling. Lin Qiong makes me feel respectful, but Shi Wu is different. When I saw him, I felt that he lived in my heart." Lu Ju unconsciously remembered Shi Wu's appearance when he spoke.

Yuan Jie smiled bitterly and said, "The world of young people is indeed not something that we old men can understand. Since you like it, Uncle Yuan will try to arrange the chance of encountering you by chance. Uncle Yuan only has one requirement, and he must not elope in any case. Otherwise, Uncle Yuan’s Jiangling City will probably be in peace by your father.”

"Uncle Yuan, Xiao Ju has his own bottom line, I will not make Uncle Yuan embarrassed." Lu Ju agreed.

Yuan Jie said with peace of mind: "That's good. Your Uncle Xu and I will leave first, you can rest."

Lu Ju kept sending Yuan Jie and Xu Zhong out of the mansion before she returned to her house. Lying on the bed, she was full of scenes with Shi Wu today.

In the new home of Lu Heng and his son, Lu’s mother learned about the way to make the fresh and fresh vegetables they bought from Shi Wu and Lu Heng. She asked Shi Wu and the others to go to the dining room to rest, and she wanted to cook the first meal in the new home by herself.

Shi Wu then sat down with Lu Heng on the chair in the dining room.

Lu Heng looked at the river in front of him and sighed: "Immortal, I was still planting Linggu seedlings in the field at this time yesterday."

Shi Wudao: "So things in the world are unpredictable. All you have to do in the future is to live a good life with your mother in this Jiangling City."

Lu Heng nodded fiercely and said, "I can do it!"

"By the way, Xian Zheng, why do you think I am your destined person among so many people?" Lu Heng had completely forgotten the incident of the formation ring star stone.

Shi Wu smiled mysteriously and said, "You also said that I am an immortal. The immortal fate can only be understood but not expressed in words. When I saw you working hard for life, I knew that this immortal fate was not wrong."

Lu Heng said shyly: "Thank you, Xianchang, for the praise."

Shi Wu asked on his own initiative: "Lu Heng, do you want to practice?"

"Yes." Lu Heng replied to Queen Shi Wu and hesitated again, "But my mother doesn't seem to be very happy. You also saw that she had just stopped me from inquiring about Jiangling Pavilion."

Shi Wu told Lu Heng: "Your mother is afraid that I will feel unhappy."

"Ah? Why?" Lu Heng said incomprehensible.

Shi Wu looked at the twelve-year-old boy and said, "Because I brought you, if I didn't nod, you would show your desire to become a disciple and practice, which is somewhat disrespectful to me."

Lu Heng was so scared that he wanted to get up and kneel down, but Shi Wu pressed his right hand and sat back on the chair. Shi Wu said casually: "Don't be nervous. My fate with you starts from Lujia Village and ends in Jiangling City. Whatever you want to do in the future is your own choice, and you don't need to worry about me. But I want to give you a piece of advice. Before you make any decision, discuss with your mother more. It's not easy for her over the years."

"Lu Heng remembers the teachings of the immortals!" Lu Heng said solemnly.

When Lu's mother, who brought six dishes and one soup, saw Lu Heng's promise to Shi Wu, she asked with a smile: "Heng'er, what are you talking about with Xianchang?"

Lu Heng said truthfully: "The Immortal Lord asked me to discuss with you before making any decision."

After hearing this, Lu's mother asked Shi Wu to do something rare: "Xian Zheng, can you share this lunch with us today?"

Shi Wu agreed: "Okay."

"Hey!" Lu's mother walked to the kitchen with a smile and brought them spiritual rice.

Her skills are not good, but Shi Wu and Lu Heng both ate all the food on the table with great confidence.

When Lu's mother was packing up the dishes, she wanted Lu Heng to call Shi Wu to rest in the house, but Shi Wu refused, "You can rest, I'm going outside to buy a housewarming gift for you."

Lu's mother quickly advised: "Sir, I really don't need it. The house you bought for us is nothing."
