He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

Pei Si and Miao Yin returned to Da Qian in a clean bottle.

A figure followed not far behind; it was Qin Jingshen, a martial artist at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"A female Taoist priest." Pei Si looked at Miaoyin.

Miaoyin stopped using the water bottle, and the two turned around.

Qin Jingshen scratched his head, looking rather embarrassed, and said, "Two immortal masters, please allow me to follow."

"I have nowhere to go in the Great Yin Dynasty."

Although the current Emperor of Dayin is known as a Confucian gentleman, Qin Jingshen knows very well what kind of temperament this emperor is.

If he fails to properly escort the Nine Ministers, he will be wanted throughout the country, and the Emperor of Dayin will also send the Blood Droplets to hunt him down.

Pei Si remained silent, still wanting Miao Yin to make the decision.

"Come with us." Miaoyin agreed, allowing Qin Jingshen to serve in the Northern Frontier.

"Thank you for taking me in, Immortal Master. I will never forget your kindness." Qin Jingshen said with a respectful expression.

…………

The Western Frontier Military Governor's Office.

The military governor who was stationed here was named Gao Changqing.

Given Qingcheng Mountain's status, it is only right that it should receive the courtesy due to Gao Changqing.

This is true.

Gao Changqing, of medium build with graying temples, was sizing up Pei Si and the other man.

"Are you two immortal masters going to Dayin to slay demons and monsters?" Gao Changqing was very talkative.

Sometimes I really envy those mountain monks; the world is so vast, they can go anywhere.

Looking at him again, he could only confine himself to his own little world.

"I slew a demonic beast." Miaoyin's voice was clear and cold.

Pei Si: "Commander-in-Chief, I captured a prisoner in Dayin. I wonder if you would be interested?"

Gao Changqing put down his teacup, his interest piqued, and asked with a smile, "Immortal Master, please don't keep me in suspense. If they are merely soldiers from the Yin Kingdom, I will not pay them."

"Of course not." Pei Si smiled slightly and summoned Wei Bei.

"Please take a look, Governor."

Gao Changqing stared intently, and his mind was immediately shaken.

As the military governor of the western frontier, Gao Changqing was primarily responsible for guarding against the Yin Kingdom and had a thorough understanding of the officials at all levels in the Yin Kingdom.

This is one of the Nine Ministers!

Is the immortal master on the mountain so valiant?

Gao Changqing had already conjured up a picture in his mind.

Two immortal masters flew thousands of miles on their swords and descended upon the Dayin Imperial Palace, abducting the Nine Ministers!

"Immortal Master Xuanjian, I have a favor to ask," Gao Changqing said with a dry laugh as he poured tea for Pei Si.

Pei Si's lips curled up slightly, he tapped the hilt of his sword, and said something strange.

"This sword has become a bit dull lately."

Upon hearing this, Gao Changqing laughed and said, "Bring the General's roster for the Immortal Master to choose from."

Pei Si secretly transmitted his voice.

"Would you like to pick out a female Taoist priestess as well?"

Pei Si's voice echoed in the heart of Miaoyin.

"I do not want."

"Immortal Master, please review this list." A bailiff presented the list.

Pei Si took the register and asked with a smile, "I wonder how many fine swords this Nine Minister is worth?"

"Gao Jiedu, don't try to fool me."

"I have also done business with the Fifth Governor."

"Hahaha, I will definitely not let the immortal master suffer a loss. I have more than ten well-made swords in my armory."

"Six handles, how about that?" Gao Changqing was not surprised.

Qingcheng Mountain is located in Shu County, so it is quite normal for it to have met the Fifth Lingxun.

and many more.

Gao Changqing suddenly remembered a military report that had been sent by Fifth Commander Xun.

Could it be this very warrior who breached Linlan Pass?

"Great." Pei Si nodded and gave Wei Bei orders to cooperate with the escort.

Six finely crafted swords are presented as promised.

Xiyue has a really big appetite.

With an infinite devouring growth mechanism, the Crescent Moon can continuously grow, but the growth cycle is a bit too long.

I wonder if absorbing these six famous swords will allow me to advance to the rank of Grand Master.

Pei Si put away the six famous swords and chatted with Gao Changqing.

Gao Changqing was not born into a military family; in his early years, he was a horse trader who traveled all over the country, and he had a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the world of martial arts and chivalry).

He had assumed that Pei Si had grown up in the mountains since childhood, but after talking with him, he suddenly realized that they were kindred spirits.

Gao Changqing's attitude immediately warmed up, and he invited Pei Si and the others to stay for a meal.

Miaoyin rested her chin on her hand, watching Pei Si and Gao Changqing talk, a smile on her lips.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Gao Changqing put his arm around Pei Si's shoulder, poured him wine, and called out, "Brother, if you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."

"Alright, if there are any difficult demons to eliminate in the Western Frontier, just let me know, brother," Pei Si said, patting his chest.

"Speaking of which, there really is a demonic beast in my jurisdiction that's quite a nuisance," Gao Changqing said.

Pei Si pretended not to understand.

That's a bit unfair of Gao Jiedu to do that.

"With your high position as the military governor of the Western Frontier, commanding hundreds of thousands of elite troops, how could you possibly be unable to subdue any demonic beasts?"

"My dear brother, you may not know this, but that beast is a fire ape. It is very agile, lustful, and especially fond of stealing men's shoes and socks. If it sets its sights on you, you'll never have a moment's peace."

"But those fire apes are so agile that they always manage to escape before the demon-catching team arrives."

Pei Si inwardly grumbled.

This fire ape's behavior doesn't seem like that of a local demon.

"With your looks, my brother, you may have already been targeted by the Fire Ape." Gao Changqing patted Pei Si's shoulder meaningfully.

Pei Si felt the cold.

"If I encounter him, I will surely annihilate him," Pei Si whispered.

Night fell, and all was quiet.

Pei Si and Miao Yin entered the city and lived next to each other.

Pei Si calculated for a moment and marveled at it.

I am still facing a calamity here.

Could it be that fire ape?

Suddenly, a melodious voice resonated in Pei Si's heart.

"I will conceal your aura for now. In the outside world, you will appear as a Qi cultivator who has not yet established his foundation. Let's play along."

Pei Si laughed.

If someone with his mediocre skills could foresee the trouble tonight, how much more so a female cultivator like the Wondrous Sound Clerk?

Although the nun Miaoyin is the leader of the Guanyu lineage and is skilled in alchemy, it does not mean that her ability to deduce is weak.

It just depends on who you're comparing it to.

"Yes."

Pei Si went to sleep.

midnight.

pat!

The windows and doors made a noise and were pulled open from the outside.

A slightly hunched figure jumped in.

"Such a handsome young man, Your Majesty should be pleased," a whispered voice echoed in the room.

The fire ape approached Pei Si's large bed, its shadow obscuring Pei Si's face.

Seeing that the young man on the bed was sleeping soundly, the Fire Ape chuckled and had a mischievous thought. He stretched out his finger and rubbed Pei Si's nose with it.

Pei Si suddenly opened his eyes.

Tsk.

This fire ape had somehow learned this style, wearing a pineapple crown on its head, with a dense patch of green leaves stuck in it.

"You're awake? Then come with me." The fire ape waved the sack, covering Pei Si.

…………

Pei Si surveyed the surroundings, where steaming hot water vapor rose in wisps.

Four fair-skinned and beautiful young women with open-fronted robes surrounded Pei Si.

"My lord, you are truly blessed to have come to our Hibiscus Jade Tears Pavilion." A young woman with small tiger teeth smiled and placed her slightly warm hand on Pei Si's chest.

Hibiscus Jade Weeping Pavilion?

This person has quite a romantic air about them.

Pei Si gently squeezed the little tiger-tooth's hand and asked with a smile, "How should I address you, my wife?"

"Just call me Xia Shan, my lord." Xia Shan looked up and smiled, taking care of undressing Pei Si's robes, and whispered, "The four of us will serve you as you bathe, my lord."

"After your bath, the ladies will come to choose."
