Cultivation is too difficult, and people will die if they do the tasks.

"you you……"

Bai Wan'er was shocked and angry, staring at Xiao Hongye, speechless for a moment. I have never seen anyone speak so shamelessly.

Xiao Hongye grabbed Bai Wan'er's trembling hand with anger and raised his eyebrows: "Young master Bai is indeed very smart. He can actually think of the location of the stone statue so quickly. It is really a blessing for the people."

No matter how handsome and handsome Xiao Hongye was, Bai Wan'er still wanted to slap him in the face.

Bai Wan'er was about to use all her strength to shake off Xiao Hongye's hand and find the right place to slap her. Several people who looked like country squires had already walked up to them.

The member of staff who had just spoken bowed his hand to Bai Wan'er and saluted: "Master, if you can tell me where the stone statue is, I will thank you on behalf of the people of Yulin County."

Bai Wan'er immediately wanted to deny it. You absolutely cannot carry this kind of pot.

Before the words left his mouth, Xiao Hongye said first: "This Mr. Bai has a warm heart. It was he who proposed the clever plan to the county magistrate to get rid of the rat demon this time. If you don't believe it, you can go to the county government and ask."

The people present looked at Bai Wan'er from surprise to eager gratitude. People around him also gathered around.

"You turned out to be a great benefactor. Please accept my thanks."

Several squires took the lead in saluting and thanking Bai Wan'er, and the people around them also followed suit.

At this point, Bai Wan'er was at a loss and quickly helped everyone up, so there was no chance to scold Xiao Hongye.

Xiao Hongye looked at Bai Wan'er and could only face everyone with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

He was going to force Bai Wan'er out. See what else is unusual about her.

The officer said: "Since Mr. Bai can deal with the rat demon, he must have a way to know the location of the stone statue. Please tell me. Thank you very much."

Bai Wan'er looked at Xiao Hongye who was smiling extremely happily, blood boiling in her chest, and she clenched her back molars.

This guy is really difficult to deal with. In one sentence, I got myself involved.

Bai Wan'er had to smile in response to the earnest looks from everyone.

"Fellow folks, you are really too high-minded. I'm just a scholar. I don't have any magical plans."

A squire came forward and saluted: "Master, please don't refuse. It is related to the life plans of the people of Yulin. Please help me. If it comes to pass, I will thank you very much."

Thank you very much! These two words sound much more pleasant to the ear.

Bai Wan'er's mouth curved.

"I would like to make a suggestion. You can give it a try. I just heard from everyone that the middle and lower reaches of the river have been searched. I wonder if you have gone to the upper reaches of the river to take a look?"

Bai Wan'er's words made everyone around them quiet down, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Since ancient times, things have only been washed away from upstream to downstream. How could it be possible to do the opposite?
  "Mr. Bai, this stone statue is very huge and heavy. How could it possibly go upstream against the river?"

A squire questioned.

Bai Wan'er smiled slightly: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone down to the river to find out." She turned around and grabbed Xiao Hongye's hand.

"This friend here is proficient in water properties and can help you check it out in the river."

If he wanted to contribute, Xiao Hongye had to pay a price.

Bai Wan'er looked at Xiao Hongye and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, fellow countrymen, please don't refuse."

Xiao Hongye twitched the corner of his mouth: "You should do your best."

Xiao Hongye was also very curious. Bai Wan'er's suggestion was so unreasonable. I also wanted to find out.

The crowd gathered around Bai Wan'er and Xiao Hongye and came to the river next to the temple.

This is a sparkling river. At this moment, people are standing beside the river to watch the fun.

When they heard that they had to go upstream to look for it, the people around them were talking a lot, and many people were shaking their heads.

Xiao Hongye took off his robe and jumped into the river. There were also several men who were familiar with the properties of water and jumped into the river to search for him.

Bai Wan'er curled her lips. He only took off his outer robe. With such a good figure, he had no chance to enjoy it.

After a while, Xiao Hongye emerged from the water and jumped onto the shore.

Regardless of getting wet, Xiao Hongye came to Bai Wan'er with a look of surprise on his face: "As you said, it's really upstream."

Everyone present looked at Bai Wan'er in surprise, and no one could figure out what was going on.

"Found it, found it!"

People who went down to the river to look for him came out of the water and shouted, and there were thunderous cheers on both sides of the river.

"Young master is truly a god!" The squires all came over and thanked him.

Bai Wan'er was really full of pride.

"Thanks to the two young masters for their help, we were able to find the huge statue of the god. I will hold a banquet at the Lotus Tower tonight to thank you both."

Bai Wan'er was about to refuse.

The squire said: "When the time comes, I invite the courtesan from Huayue Tower to play "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" for the two young masters. This is even praised by the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing Xiao Hongye's face darken, Bai Wan'er agreed happily: "Thank you so much."

"I'll take my leave now if I have anything else to do."

Xiao Hongye didn't wait for Bai Wan'er to speak again, then took her hand and quickly left the crowd.

The two left the crowd, and Xiao Hongye took Bai Wan'er to a secluded place.

"Why did Fellow Daoist Bai agree to go to the appointment at night?"

"Since Wan'er has been kind to everyone, and they sincerely thanked them, why didn't they agree?" Bai Wan'er refuted with reason.

"We are cultivators. Even if we help, we don't have to be limited in repaying you!"

"It's only natural to repay kindness. Why would Wan'er refute someone's good intentions? What's more, you and I now seem to be just ordinary people."

Bai Wan'er refused to give in.

Whoever asked Xiao Hongye to push himself into a pit would of course enjoy some welfare benefits. Moreover, Xiao Hongye's refusal made him very curious.

"So, Fellow Daoist Bai must go to tonight's appointment."

"You have already made a promise, so you should keep your promise. Fellow Daoist Xiao, don't refuse, they are inviting us two."

Bai Wan'er smiled at each other. Sure enough, Xiao Hongye's face looked unnatural.

The two of them used their skills and returned to the county government office.

Bai Wan'er is very happy to look forward to tonight's banquet. Not only are there delicious food, but there are also beautiful women singing and dancing. I can appreciate the beautiful scenery of the world again.

As the sun set, Bai Wan'er got ready and walked out of the courtyard of the Yamen. From a distance, she saw Xiao Hongye standing by the courtyard gate.

"It seems that the prince also wants to go to the banquet. He has been waiting for Wan'er here early."

"I promised fellow Taoist Ding to take good care of fellow daoist Ding, so naturally I cannot let fellow daoist attend the banquet alone."

Bai Wan'er nodded: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. It's just a banquet, fellow Taoist, don't be nervous."

"I hope fellow Taoist Bai will have a good time tonight." Xiao Hongye said, "I still don't understand something, and I would like to ask fellow Taoist for advice."

"My lord, I want to ask why the stone statue is upstream of the river?"

Xiao Hongye nodded. He had been thinking about it all afternoon and still had no clue.

I am sure that Bai Wan'er did not cast any spell at that time, so how did she do it?
