Chapter 34
Tao Zi narrowed her eyes and asked a crucial question: "Did she help Xi Jing and the others during the disaster more than ten years ago?"

Widow Li was startled, thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "I didn't hear Yue Shan mention her at that time, but in that case, it would be good if she could protect herself."

When she heard this answer, she knew it well.

Not long after, the master appeared at the entrance of the sect.

Just as Tao Zi was about to greet him, Xu Jia rushed over and said, "Master Wen, you've had a hard journey. Thinking of your busy work last night, I have prepared some soup. Do you want to try it?"

Sect Leader Wen waved his hand casually and said, "It's all your trouble, but I don't eat much. You worked hard yesterday, so go home and rest."

An embarrassed smile appeared on Xu Jia's face. Just as she was about to answer, Sect Leader Wen ignored her and walked towards Tao Zi: "Azi, how were you yesterday?"

She bowed and said, "Thank you, master. I'm worried. Disciple is fine."

Sect Leader Wen waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Why are you being so polite if you work hard or not? If you don't know, you will think you are an outsider."

Xu Jia, who had just been "worked", had a somewhat subtle expression on her face. She suppressed her emotions and walked over to imitate Tao Zi's salute: "Master Wen, this is also due to my negligence. I forgot to inform you about this."

"It's okay. You are not a member of my Escaped Sect. These matters have nothing to do with you." Sect Master Wen paused and then said, "Mrs. Zhou, please come back. If you stay here for a long time, your husband's family will Displeased.”

Xu Jia stiffened and left with a forced smile.

Tao Zi looked at her leaving back and said, "Master, is this Mrs. Zhou?"

The master thought that no one had told her, so he introduced her: "Her name is Xu Jia, and her husband's surname is Zhou. You can call her Mrs. Zhou."

"Ok."

The master hesitated for a moment, and then vaguely reminded: "Mrs. Zhou has always longed for the world of immortality, but she has no way to get started. She has a good relationship with Xi Jing."

I have a good relationship with Xijing, but what about Yueshan, Xiaoxue and the others?

Tao Zi didn't ask this question, but she already had her own judgment in her heart.

Mrs. Zhou walked down the mountain nonchalantly, looking uncertain.

She originally thought that Master Wen had no intention of accepting any more disciples, so he got married and had children, and went up to the mountain to help in exchange for benefits from time to time. Who would have expected that Tao Zi would appear!
She thought of Tao Zi's vixen-like face, and her expression darkened. She couldn't explain that this woman had deceived Master Wen with that face. She knew how to take advantage of her beauty at a young age, and she was born to serve in the Goulan Courtyard...

"Aunt Xu!"

A lively voice sounded, and she hurriedly put away her expression and followed the sound. She saw that Xijing was smiling and waving. She was so cute.

Her expression softened, she walked over quickly, touched her head, and said, "Xijing, why are you back now?"

She looked lonely and whispered: "Grandpa Zhou is gone. I was just helping down there."

Xu Jia sighed, patted her hand and said, "Xi Jing, mortals are bound to die, don't be sad."

Xi Jing quickly cheered up and nodded: "I know, actually I'm okay, but the third senior brother is not so good. He has liked Grandpa Zhou since he was a child."

Aunt Xu sighed again and changed the subject: "By the way, what's going on with your senior sister? I don't think I've seen her before."

"Senior Sister? Yes, I forgot to mention that she came to Yisan Sect not long ago and just became a disciple yesterday." Listening to this answer, Aunt Xu was very surprised: "She just became a disciple like this? What if the origin is unknown? what to do?"

Xi Jing said seriously: "The senior sister is very good, and her origins are not unknown, but she has lost her family. If we don't keep her in the escape sect, she will have nowhere to go."

"It seems that Xi Jing likes her very much."

She nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, it's the first time I meet Senior Sister and I feel very friendly, like a big sister I've known for a long time."

Aunt Xu's smile remained the same, but she just tightened her hand: "This is good. Aunt Xu is still in a hurry to go home, so she left first."

"Okay, Aunt Xu, please be safe on the road!"

She walked quickly back to the town, but before she entered the house, a drunken man stumbled out of the door and slapped her: "You bitch, you just came back now, you want to die."

Xu Jia was hit and tilted her head. She covered her face and said bitterly: "You went to drink again!"

The man grumbled and touched her body: "Where are the things? Didn't the Escape Sect give you anything good this time?"

She screamed and took a few steps back. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the disdainful looks on her neighbors' faces, and she felt even more hateful: "Go in first, come in, and I'll give it to you as soon as you come in."

The man slapped her several more times until her face became red and swollen: "You bitch, you dare to play tricks on me, take out your things quickly, or I will take off your clothes, do you hear me!" "

She gritted her teeth and took out the talismans. The man snatched them away, clicked them, slapped Xu Jia again, and cursed: "You can exchange for such a few things in one night, it's not as good as that building." The girls here are very capable, I will be unlucky for eight lifetimes by marrying you!"

Hearing that her husband didn't have a good word to say, she became more cheerful. She pushed her husband hard and rushed home, trying to lock him out before her husband caught up with her.

But even though her husband was drunk, he moved faster than her. He grabbed her, cursed and beat her at the door.Neighbors didn't come forward to help much. This was someone else's family matter. Who would have the time to intervene?
She was stubborn, she didn't shed a single tear, she clenched her fist tightly, and if she endured it harder, Master Wen would definitely accept her as long as she worked harder.

At this time, the Escape Gate she longed for was a place of leisure and tranquility.

Xi Jing pointed to the soundproofing bar on the door and said, "Senior sister, if there is a warbler singing in the future, you should run into the house, but you must pay attention to whether there is this symbol on the door. If not, there is no use running in."

Tao Zi recalled: "It seems that the doors of the houses I saw all have this symbol."

"Yes, not only on the mountain, but also on every house below the mountain."

She sighed: "Master is kind-hearted."

Xi Jing said: "The grandparents at the foot of the mountain are kind-hearted. They take care of us when Master is away."

She asked in surprise: "Will Master leave now?"

Xi Jing didn't pay attention to the present in her mouth, and replied: "I will still be there, but I won't be away for long, only about a month or two."

"Is that so?" Tao Zi remembered something and asked again, "I heard the oriole's cry when I first came here, but it didn't seem to be as powerful as yesterday."

"I don't know about this either. In short, we only need to be vigilant if the sound contains sadness, anger and other emotions."
