Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

A few days later, Zhang Shuyu discovered that he was not the only one living in the house.

Someone would help him wash and hang up his dirty clothes.

He would just leave the dishes he had eaten aside and someone would naturally help clean them up.

When he was tired from studying and fell asleep on the desk, someone would put clothes on him to keep him warm.

……

Zhang Shuyu enjoyed the care from others and could not help but thank them.

But no one showed up, how could he thank them?
Zhang Shuyu bowed towards the courtyard and said, "Thank you for your help. I wonder if you can come out and meet me so that I can thank you in person for your kindness."

The yard was quiet.

Zhang Shuyu kept his arms raised and did not put them down.

After a while, his arms felt sore and began to tremble slightly.

The heartache in secret could no longer be hidden, so he walked out from among the flowers, brushing against the willows.

Zhang Shu looked at the person who came in amazement.

She was a very beautiful woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a goose yellow dress. She had a dignified temperament and was obviously a lady from a noble family.

Why would a lady from a noble family live in such a shabby house and help another man do laundry?

If this person was a disciple of Xuanmen, he would definitely start to suspect the woman.

But Zhang Shu was not like that. He was attracted by the woman's appearance and fell in love at first sight. He did not think of anything bad at all.

The woman walked up to Zhang Shuyu and bowed, "My humble self, Xia Shuang, greets you, sir."

Zhang Shuyu hurriedly returned the greeting: "Zhang Shuyu greets the young lady."

The two have known each other since then.

Zhang Shuyu learned from Xia Shuang that she came to live with her relatives, but her relatives had moved out of the provincial capital a year ago.

Xia Shuang had no choice but to take her sister Qiu Xue to rent this haunted house to live in temporarily.

They rented a side courtyard of the house and entered and exited through the west corner gate instead of the main gate. The two girls did things very quietly and made very little noise, so Zhang Shu didn't know there was someone else living in the courtyard.

Xia Shuang and the others discovered Zhang Shu on the first day he moved in.

Xia Shuang has a good impression of Zhang Shuyu, so she will help Zhang Shuyu to the best of her ability.

The words sounded very noble, but the clever Zhang Shuyu understood the meaning immediately.

Xia Shuang fell in love with him at first sight, so she helped him wash clothes and dishes and did things that a wife would do.

Zhang Shu and heartbeat.

He had fallen in love with Xia Shuang at first sight, and when he heard that Xia Shuang also had feelings for him, it was only natural for them to be together.

With the beauty of Hong Xiuling, Zhang Shu was so happy that he even forgot about Liu Shu and Liu Lu.

The two of them didn't miss Zhang Shuyu, he was just a passer-by in the lives of the two brothers.

Liu Shu and Liu Lu received news at the sect's headquarters that there was a demon causing trouble near the provincial capital. The two left the provincial capital and headed to the small town to eliminate the demon.

That demon was only a little demon of a hundred years old. Twenty years ago, it didn't even have the qualifications to join the demon army.

But now, it has become a big demon that is causing trouble to the people.

However, such monsters are just country bumpkins who have never seen the world. They have no idea how powerful the people of Xuanmen are. They think they can do whatever they want just because they are monsters.

As a result, reality taught him to be a demon.

Liu Luo killed the big monster in one move.

The two brothers found a lot of human bones in the monster's lair. They buried the bones separately and chanted the mantra for the dead.

There were still people alive in the lair, but they were not in good condition. The demons did not give them anything to eat, and they were starving to death.

Fortunately, there was food and water in the mustard bag, and Liu Shu and Liu Lu took them out and distributed them to everyone.

After eating the food, these people gradually regained their strength.

The two men then led these people down the mountain and let them return home.

After finishing everything, they did not stay to accept the people's thanks, but returned to the provincial capital.

When I came back, it was the day when the results of the provincial examination were announced.

Zhang Shu was on the list and became a juren.

The practice of catching a son-in-law from the list happens not only during the metropolitan examination, but also during the provincial examination.

After all, as long as you pass the imperial examination, you will be qualified to become an official.

Many wealthy businessmen would want to recruit a scholar to invest.

Zhang Shu and his wife were caught in a trap.

He was luckier than others, for the one who caught him was not a wealthy businessman but a servant of the prefect.

The prefect was the second in command of the provincial capital and was very powerful. Although the girl he married was just the concubine's daughter whom he loved, it was still considered marrying above her station for Zhang Shuyu.

But Zhang Shu already has Xia Shuang as his confidante, so how could he be willing to marry another woman?

He was extremely reluctant, but the prefect would not allow him to resist. He forced Zhang Shuyu's hand to press its fingerprint on the marriage certificate, and then let Zhang Shuyu return to his residence to wait for the wedding.

Zhang Shu returned to the house with a pale face, but he didn't dare to enter the house, not knowing how to face Xia Shuang.

Xia Shuang had already sensed Zhang Shuyu's presence and was waiting for him to come in.

She prepared a sumptuous meal herself to celebrate with Zhang Shu.

However, she found that Zhang Shuyu's breath had been lingering outside the gate, but he did not enter.

Xia Shuang was puzzled. She walked to the gate and saw Zhang Shuyu, who looked very bad.

Xia Shuang was shocked and hurried out, holding Zhang Shuyu's arms, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you passed the exam? Could it be that someone framed you and wanted to take away your fame?"

Zhang Shuyu hugged Xia Shuang and said, "Shuang'er, I'm sorry."

Xia Shuang hugged Zhang Shuyu back and asked anxiously, "Husband, what happened?"

Zhang Shuyu told him how he was wanted as a son-in-law by the prefect.

Zhang Shuyu: "The prefect has forced me to sign the marriage certificate. I have no choice but to marry the girl they married."

A red light flashed in Xia Shuang's eyes, but Zhang Shuyu didn't see it.

Xia Shuang raised her hand to comfort Zhang Shuyu: "Husband, it's okay. In fact, I lied to you about something, don't be angry with me."

Zhang Shuyu: "No matter what you do, I won't be angry."

He is now filled with guilt towards Xia Shuang, how could he be angry?

Xia Shuang suppressed her anger, smiled at Zhang Shu and Rourou, and said embarrassedly: "Well, I lied to you. In fact, I am not an orphan who came to the provincial capital to seek refuge with relatives. I am actually the daughter of the prefectural governor..."

Xia Shuang made up a story for Zhang Shuyu: The young lady of the prefecture fell in love with a scholar at first sight, and wanted to get close to him, so she pretended to be sick, left the prefecture's mansion and went to a farm outside the city to recuperate, but in fact she rented a yard in the same house as the scholar in the hope of getting close to him.

After that, the two naturally fell in love.

The young lady returned home and told her parents that she wanted to marry the scholar.

When the prefect saw that the scholar had passed the imperial examination, he thought that he had a bright future, so he agreed to the marriage and married his daughter to the scholar.

The scholar was chosen as a son-in-law by the prefect, but he didn't know that the lady he was going to marry was his sweetheart. (End of this chapter)
