Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 226: He and Mr. He are of the same kind

There are three major immortal families in Henggao City, the Xiao family, the Ye family, and the He family.

Being able to occupy the foot of the sacred mountain for hundreds and thousands of years, the three great immortal families have become giants in Henggao City and even the entire Zhongyuan Continent.

It's not that they don't have the strength to find a place to live on the sacred mountain, but when the sacred mountain was first established, the immortal ancestors had a rule:

Mount Kinabalu is a sacred mountain for all people in the five continents.

Then this kind of family-inherited organization naturally cannot gain a foothold in Shenshan.

However, they have lived at the foot of the sacred mountain for a long time, and their foundation is even stronger than many immortal sects in the sacred mountain.

You Su walked alone on the streets of Henggao City. On the way, he had asked about the location of the He family.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his master's wife should be from the He family. Both her surname and status were consistent with the description in his master's wife's story.

Only the top three famous families in this continent could cultivate the indescribable nobility of Master's Wife...

Soon, You Su arrived at the city center where the He family residence was located.

The towering vermilion gate is carved with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns. On each side of the gate stands a pair of majestic stone lions, guarding this ancient family with due diligence.

From a distance, you can see the magnificent roof of the hall behind the gate, which is covered with glazed green tiles. It sparkles in the sun like a verdant gem inlaid in this magnificent city.

"What's the matter, sir?"

The guards of the He family were much friendlier than those of other places. When they noticed a stranger approaching, they hurriedly approached and asked enthusiastically.

You Su thought to himself that big families are different. After all, they are not the typical arrogant doormen.

"I'm here to look for someone."

"Looking for someone? Sir, just tell me."

"The person I'm looking for is called He Shutong. I wonder if she is from your He Mansion?"

"What Shutong?"

The guard frowned, as if thinking, and after a long while he shook his head and said:

"I don't remember anyone with this name in any of the main branches or three side branches of the He family. Although they all have the surname He, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. Please go back."

You Su also frowned, unwilling to give up.

It is estimated that the master's wife left home more than a hundred years ago. Could it be that she was forgotten by the young guard, or was she removed from the family tree because she was away from home for many years?
"Please go back and ask for me. This person is really important to me."

You Su said earnestly.

The guard saw that You Su had a handsome appearance and an extraordinary aura, and knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person. Seeing that he had a good attitude, he did not dare to neglect him. He just said "wait a moment" and went back to the mansion to ask the manager.

You Su paced outside the door, waiting anxiously.

In a moment, the guard came back and apologized:

"I have asked my family's steward, and even he doesn't know anyone with this name. You should look for another family."

You Su clenched his fists and had to give up and find another way.

Just as he turned around, a clear voice rang out:
"Master Ye? Are you really from Henggao City?!"

There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

You Su pondered this slightly familiar voice in his mind and said in surprise:

"Mr. Xiao?!"

The man who came had a handsome face and a slender figure. He was dressed in a black and white robe that gave him a scholarly air and looked like a gentleman.

It was Master Xiao who had invited You Su to drink flower wine at Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Moye City.

Only the guard looked a little unnatural when he heard this.

"Master Ye came to the He family to do business?"

Although the two met by chance, Mr. Xiao acted very familiarly.

It seemed that in his opinion, just visiting a brothel together meant they had established a close relationship.

"Yes, I'm here to look for someone."

You Su thought that the other party was also a noble young man in Henggao City, and might know the name of his master's wife, so he did not hide it.

"Looking for someone? Looks like you didn't find him." Young Master Xiao glanced at the guard, "Who is Young Master Ye looking for?"

"His name is He Shutong."

You Su answered truthfully, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt the atmosphere around him become more solemn, as if he was burdened.

Mr. Xiao didn't speak for a long time, and it seemed that he really knew about this name.

"There is no such person in my He family."

Young Master Xiao spoke each word with great emphasis, leaving no room for rebuttal.

What family am I from?
You Su looked carefully and realized that the other party's identity as Young Master Xiao was really fake.

He knew the Xiao family and the Ye family; he acquiesced to You Su's behavior of claiming to be from the Ye family, and also claimed that he was from the Xiao family and went in and out of brothels.

Then who else could he be except a member of the He family?

"Even Young Master Xiao said so. It seems I have no choice but to look for another place."

You Su sighed and was about to leave.

If You Su was not sure before that his master's wife was from the He family in Henggao City, now with the performance of Mr. He, he can be sure of it without a doubt.

"Is this person very important to Mr. Ye?"

Young Master Xiao quietly moved sideways, blocking You Su's way.

You Su pondered for a moment and said solemnly:
"She has done me such a great favor, I am looking for her just to repay her."

A look of realization appeared on Young Master Xiao's heroic face, and he immediately smiled and said:
"Within a radius of 600 miles of Henggao City, my family is the only one with the surname He. If Master Ye wants to find that person, I'm afraid he will have to travel a lot. My He family is the leader of all the He families in the five continents, and we have connections with all the He families in various places. Master Ye, why don't you come back with me to the mansion and have a chat? I may be able to help you."

You Su was immediately surprised when he heard this, "If that's the case, I'd be very grateful!"

Young Master Xiao smiled, like the gentle breeze and bright moon:
"Let me introduce myself again. My surname is Xiao outside, and my surname is He at home. My real name is He Kongyue."

You Su was surprised. He had been investigating and knew something about the He family. This He Kongyue was the only son of the main branch of the He family.

You Su never expected that the dandy young man he met by chance in a brothel thousands of miles away would actually be the only heir to the He family, one of the three great immortal families.

Perhaps fate is really so wonderful.

"My surname is Ye when I'm away from home, and You at home. My real name is You Su. I've long heard of Mr. He's name. It's a pleasure to meet you."

You Su bowed and followed suit.

...The courtyard is deep, and the layers of eaves sparkle with golden light in the sun. The eaves and brackets of each pavilion are finely carved. In the middle of the courtyard is a huge stone fountain, with gurgling water, as if whispering the glorious history of the He family.

In the library, the aroma of tea wafts in the air and the roar of the stove.

The walls are covered with calligraphy, paintings and plaques, each of which is from a famous artist, highlighting the family's cultural heritage.

But He Kongyue, who was sitting at the host's seat, had a temperament that didn't match the fragrance of books. He casually lay on his side, shaking the freshly warmed tea.

"Brother You, this is a brilliant move. He kidnapped Cai Ling in the name of the Ye family, which angered the boss behind Xiaoxiang Pavilion. He is now looking for Mr. Ye to ask for an explanation. You don't know that when the old lady of the Ye family heard that someone from her family kidnapped the courtesan and didn't pay, she was so angry that a few hairs turned white."

He Kongyue laughed heartily and drank tea as if it were wine.

You Su couldn't say that Cai Ling was actually an evil cultivator in disguise, so he could only explain:

"Brother He, you misunderstood. Cai Ling's disappearance has nothing to do with me. Maybe she was forced to be sold into the brothel, and once she got the chance, she left there."

He Kongyue showed a playful expression of "those who understand, understand", "I have been in the brothel for so many years, but my ability to get something for nothing is not as good as a newbie like You."

You Su felt a little embarrassed and was too lazy to argue with her about Cai Ling's matter.

But I didn't expect that He Kongyue, one of the biggest playboys in Zhongyuanzhou, would go to a brothel to seek pleasure.
You Su had not seen his appearance, but he must have been extraordinary. Add to that his distinguished family background, how many women in this world would not want anything they wanted from him?

What is he trying to do?
"You Su, the second disciple of the Thirteenth Elder of Xuanxiao Sect, defeated the beloved disciple of the Fifth Elder who had an innate sword body during the sect entrance ceremony, and became famous overnight. Not only that, he wrote the 'Four Lines of Loving Lotus' at the age of eighteen, and passed the study test of Shuxian Peak. He is a model of the new generation of both literary and martial talents, and the first male cultivator to be included in the Tianjiao List by the Divine Mountain with the cultivation level of Lingtai Realm. What's even more amazing is that such a powerful person is actually blind. And I met such a Tianjiao in Xiaoxiang Pavilion thousands of miles away."

He Kongyue calmly introduced his understanding of the name "You Su". Although he was teasing You Su, the respect in his tone was sincere.

You Su didn't even know that his name had become so famous. It was really embarrassing to have someone recount his experiences in front of him.

"Brother He, stop teasing me. He Kongyue's name is much more well-known than mine, You Su."

"It's not a joke."

He Kongyue sat up straight and filled You Su's cup of tea himself:
"I just didn't expect that this young talent is also a fellow traveler like me."

"My visit to Xiaoxiang Pavilion that day was purely accidental, and nothing happened between Miss Cailing and me."

You Su felt that it was better to cut off ties with him. Otherwise, if his master's wife reconciled with her family in the future and He Kongyue was around, wouldn't his master's wife misunderstand that he was also a frivolous man who frequented brothels?

"Surprising? Oh, I thought Brother You was a close friend. If I had known this, I wouldn't have invited Brother You to come in and sit with me."

He Kongyue shook his head slightly, and his voice became cold.

You Su frowned secretly, and understood the hidden meaning of He Kongyue's words.

The reason why the other party was familiar with him and willing to help him was because he had caught him going to a brothel to buy sex.

He used the surname Xiao to cover up his identity, so it was impossible that he did it specifically to throw dirty water on the Xiao family. The other party thought that he was on the same boat with him, so he showed his goodwill to him because he was worried that You Su would reveal his true identity.

But You Su tried his best to distance himself from the matter, which made the other party feel disappointed.

"Why did Brother He appear in Xiaoxiang Pavilion thousands of miles away?"

"Could it be that I'm playing in Henggao City or its surroundings? What if I get caught? My father will have to expel me from my ancestral home. I know the owner of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. He said that a beautiful new courtesan has arrived and asked me to go and taste her. But I didn't expect that Brother You would win her heart."

There was a hint of resentment in He Kongyue's clear eyes.

This handsome face must have charmed countless young girls who were just beginning to fall in love, but he just happened to be addicted to pursuing women.

"Although You Su is not a fellow practitioner of Brother He, he respects Brother He's hobbies. Don't worry, I have only met Master Xiao in Moye City. Today is the first time I have met Master He."

"Hey, brother You, who are Young Master Xiao and Young Master Ye? Why don't I know them?"

He Kongyue felt much more familiar instantly and even wanted to pat You Su on the shoulder twice.

"Speaking of this He Shutong...what does she have to do with you? Why are you in such a hurry to find her? No way..."

He Kongyue narrowed her eyes and smiled ambiguously, somehow linking the name with the courtesan.

You Su suddenly knocked on the bowl and said in a serious tone:
"Mr. He! Be careful with your words!"

He Kongyue immediately fell silent and sighed, "Sorry, sorry, it seems that He Shutong is really important to Brother You."

You Su remained silent. Others could make fun of him, but they could never speak rudely to the people he cherished.

However, You Su also felt strange. He Kongyue obviously knew the name He Shutong, but why did he make such an offensive and rude joke?
Is it true that Master's wife is so hated by the He family?
"Brother You, are you looking for her just to repay a favor? Have you ever thought that maybe she doesn't ask for your repayment at all? Or maybe the favor in your eyes is just an unintentional act in her eyes."

"I repay the favor to give myself peace of mind." You Su said with a firm tone.

He Kongyue nodded approvingly and said:

"I wonder what Brother You thinks of evil spirits?"

You Su raised his eyebrows, puzzled as to why Mr. He's questions were so broad.

"The troubles in the world must be eliminated as soon as possible."

"well said!"

He Kongyue slammed the table and stood up, staring at You Su with piercing eyes, and then said:
"It seems that Master You is also a man with lofty ideals who is determined to save the world! My fellow believer was right!"

You Su could feel that the other person's excitement was not fake, and he was surprised that this man who loved to pursue women also had a heart to save the world.

"As cultivators, we have been blessed by heaven and earth, so we should take it as our responsibility to protect heaven and earth."

"Unfortunately, too many monks take the gifts from heaven and earth for granted, and thus try to protect themselves and hide behind greed."

He Kongyue sighed and shook his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said:
"I wonder if Brother You has ever thought about joining the Exorcism Department?"

You Su knew that he must not reveal the fact that he was the Son of God, so he nodded and agreed, without telling the other party that he was already the Evil-Exorcist's Envoy of the Heavenly Order.

He Kongyue did not doubt it either, and lamented, "It's a pity that the minimum threshold for the Exorcism Department is to be in the Water Condensation Realm. Not only that, there are also many rules and regulations. I don't know how many aspiring young people have been stopped."

The implication, of course, is that he was also excluded and his ambitions could not be realized.

"Brother You, do you think I am doing you a big favor by finding He Shutong for you?"

"Of course it's a big job."

"Since I've helped you so much, do you have to do me a small favor as well?"

He Kongyue's true intentions were finally revealed.

"Brother He, what you said makes it seem like you will definitely be able to find the person I'm looking for."

You Su smiled calmly, of course he wouldn't agree so quickly.

He Kongyue heard this and stared at You Su closely:

"If I can definitely find it, does that mean you'll do me this small favor?"

You Su heard the other party's intention of trading, so he said:
"What favor can it be? If it's something I can't do, I'm afraid I can't do it."

"It's not really a big deal. This is also good for Brother You. The Exorcist Department is so arrogant that they don't even see the broken world.

We are determined to eliminate evil, but we are restricted by all the rules and regulations. So we, the patriots, have established a new sect to eliminate evil, called the Pure World Sect! It is now growing stronger. As long as Brother You recommends you to join the sect in my name, I will do my best to find the whereabouts of He Shutong for you! "
