The crowd expressed their sorrow, swarming around Zhou Wuchang and his companions, curious to know which Taoist temple they belonged to.

“We are from the county medical office. If you need treatment, go there.” Zhou Hao stepped forward to part the crowd and made way for his master to leave.

Zhou Wuchang didn’t say anything else and walked towards the medical office with his large gourd on his back.

Halfway through, he said to Yingbao, “Come early to the medical office tomorrow.” His little apprentice had, with this display, put both of them in the eye of the storm. If he did not do something now, things would become unmanageable.

A Divine Envoy? That seems not bad.

With such a position, he would have more freedom to act.

“Okay.” Yingbao felt a bit apprehensive about her previous actions, but thinking about Pei Shixian who had already gone to Beijing, incessantly spreading nonsense before the Emperor and his officials, she wouldn’t be surprised if a royal decree was issued out of the blue to wipe out her entire family.

Therefore, her master must become the Divine Envoy, and she must be the disciple of the Divine Envoy.

Compared to the lives of the Jiang family, what does it matter if she reveals a few miracles?

Having parted ways with her master and senior apprentice, when she returned home, her dad anxiously looked at his daughter, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Yingbao thought for a moment, and with a slap on the kitchen table, a basket full of fruit and vegetables appeared on it.

Jiang Sanlang’s face twitched at this sight, he looked at the basket full of fruit and vegetables, identical to what they used to eat, and couldn’t help but feel astonished.

“Baobao, are… are you really a Fairy Child?” Jiang Sanlang had always thought his daughter was extraordinary, but witnessing it first hand was still shocking.

Yingbao shook her head: “I am not a Fairy Child.”

She wished she was a Fairy Child. That way she could protect herself and her family. But she was not, all she had was a strange grotto, however, she did not feel the need to tell her father that.

Seeing Jiang Sanlang still hesitating over his words, Yingbao explained, “Dad, I revealed my secret to Master just to make him protect our family.”

Revealing her secret to the master today was an act of desperation.

As a commoner from a non-influential family, no matter how many miraculous methods she may possess, she couldn’t escape from the covetous gaze of powerful houses.

But the Master was different; he came from a noble lineage and held a unique position. With him as the divine envoy, no matter the future or his willingness, he will not ignore the disciple who made him a divine envoy, he will devise ways to protect her family.

That was her reason for taking the risk.

Jiang Sanlang sighed and said quietly, “Baobao, you should careful from now on.”

Yingbao nodded, looking relaxed,

This is good, with Dad covering for her, she no longer needed to be secretive and sneaky all the time.

When dawn broke the following day, Yingbao knew her master would definitely make a move today. As a result, she changed into a mage robe, picked up a mask and Peach Wood Sword, and headed for the medical office.

When Jiang Sanlang wanted to follow her, Yingbao waved her hand, “Dad, stay at home, don’t go anywhere. When we are done with the rituals, we will go back to our hometown.”

The pandemic in the county will take some days to end. It will be safer for her family to return to their hometown. Once the pandemic is over, they can then return.

Jiang Sanlang could only watch as his daughter disappeared around the corner of the street with a basket in her hand.

When Yingbao arrived at the Yin Yang Department of the medical office, she saw her master and senior apprentice waiting for her, properly dressed, with that large gourd sat next to them.

Seeing his small apprentice, Zhou Wuchang signaled his senior apprentice to leave; his face turned serious as he said: “Yingbao, let’s not talk about how you manipulated me yesterday. I just want to tell you, getting in is easier than getting out. Have you really thought this through?”

Yingbao blinked, remembering how her master previously spoke privately with the commander of Jingzhou and formed an alliance with the rightful king under the identity of an Onmyoji. She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could her master be planning a rebellion?

A rebellion with the rightful king?

The rightful king was doomed. In her previous life, he was wiped out by Xiao Mo.

But with things as they are, if she dared to say that she wouldn’t join her master’s gang, would she be silenced by him?

After some internal struggle, Yingbao avoided her master’s question and asked instead, “Master, do you know the rightful king well?”

Zhou Wuchang was taken aback, but then replied: “I am not well acquainted with him, why do you ask?”

“Master, I need to tell you something.” Yingbao sat down on a chair nearby and said seriously: “On the ship, I met a person and had a dream afterwards. In the dream, the rightful king rebelled, but was wiped out by Xiao Mo leading an army. The rightful king’s family was killed, and his followers were drawn and quartered.”

Zhou Wuchang paused, thought for a while, and then turned to the small apprentice, his eyes burning intensely. “Do you know which forces Xiao Mo was leading?”

Yingbao scratched her head, “They said it was the Western Army.”

Zhou Wuchang closed his eyes, and after a long silence, said: “Yingbao, honestly tell me, how do you know all this?”

Yingbao looked confused but still told the truth: “I saw it in a book in my dream.”

“A book?” Zhou Wuchang furrowed his brow. “What else was written in the book?”

Yingbao, “Most of the book talks about Chen Tiantian. It says she will become the Empress Dowager in the future and also says she and…”

She suddenly couldn’t continue.

She should leave it at that and not reveal too much, otherwise she would become redundant, wouldn’t she?

Zhou Wuchang did not rush the small apprentice, but sat there stroking his beard thoughtfully.

Taking advantage of this moment, Yingbao tried to show her loyalty and subtly remind her master: “Master, I am your disciple, forever. In the future, if you are the divine envoy, then I will be the guardian disciple of the divine envoy. We should keep our distance from the rightful king.”

Zhou Wuchang glanced at his small apprentice, then asked: “How did you get the gourd and the water?”

Yingbao scratched her head, sneaked a glance outside, and whispered: “Master, I am only going to tell you, and I trust you won’t mention it to anyone else.”

“You can speak.” Zhou Wuchang sat sternly, his eyes slanted, staring at his small apprentice.

“In my dreams, I met an old man with white hair who asked me to help him farm. He used things from his farm to pay me. That gourd is a product of that farmland. The water comes from a pool there. The water is clear and can strengthen the body and prevent diseases if drunk.”

Yingbao spoke earnestly, then took out a few apples and handed them to Zhou Wuchang. “This is my payment, but I can’t take too much, otherwise, I would be driven away.”

Zhou Wuchang took the apples and sniffed them, then fell into deep thought.

He didn’t think the small apprentice was telling the entire truth, but her willingness to reveal her secrets to him indicated that she indeed considered him a reliable master.

“We should get to the front of the medical office to perform the miracle since it’s getting late.” Zhou Wuchang put down the apples, stood up and walked out, hands behind his back.

At this moment, senior apprentice Zhou Hao had already prepared the incense altar and other things. The large gourd was there too, placed within a large basket in front of the altar.

The gourd was large and plump. When Zhou Hao put it down, it attracted the curiosity of spectators who couldn’t resist approaching to take a closer look.

Not only the people outside were curious, but those inside the medical office were also wondering what Master Zhou was planning to do this time.
