Chapter 901: Chapter 906: The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend

Qin Yanyan cocked her little head, staring at the rascal pig for a long time before she finally had no choice but to nod, "Alright, I will play nicely with it."

But the rascal pig had been scared by little Yanyan in her younger days, and now clung to Su Pan’er, opening its mouth and howling incessantly!

It kept murmuring, "Pan’er, oh dear Pan’er, save me! My pig life is at stake, hurry, save me, save me..."

Su Pan’er tugged with all her might, almost ripping a piece of her garment off, before finally getting the rascal pig back onto the chair. Seeing that it had lost its support, the rascal pig trembled violently, shivering and curling up into a ball.

It stammered in fear, "You, you, you, what are you gonna do... do to me? I’m not afraid of you..."

If its words weren’t so shaky, there might have been some actual effect.

However, as it was, Su Pan’er almost burst out laughing.

Qin Yanyan was unaware of the rascal pig’s fear. She sat on the edge of the chair, extending her chubby little hand to gently stroke its back fur.

"Don’t be afraid, little piggy, don’t be afraid. I’ll never bully you again from now on. I’ll bring yummy things for you to eat and fun things to play with you. Ah, be good!"

Now that Yanyan was a bit older, almost six years old, she was still mischievous, but she knew that this lazy pig loved nothing more than having someone scratch its itch.

True enough, under little Yanyan’s continuous tickling, it wasn’t long before the rascal pig sprawled out on its back, contentedly letting little Yanyan scratch its itch.

It would even occasionally switch positions to get more comfortable.

Su Pan’er watched with a trace of helplessness shaking her head—this rascal pig had absolutely no bottom line!

Seeing the girl and pig having a good time, the dog outside kept howling persistently, prompting Su Pan’er to have someone bring the dog over.

With the dog joining in, the girl, the dog, and the pig had an even wilder time!

In the evening, Su Pan’er commanded the servants to find the folks who had brought over lambs, and in no time, they caught two. These month-and-a-half-old little lambs were tender and perfect for roasting.

Since the elder Clan Leader had just been buried, it wasn’t appropriate to make a public spectacle, so Su Pan’er ordered them to be slaughtered in a secluded part of the rear courtyard, planning to roast the meat herself.

Unexpectedly, a servant came to report that someone was looking for her at the front.

Su Pan’er originally didn’t want to go out but, after a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and went anyway.

The visitor seeking Su Pan’er was none other than the yin-yang master, Venerable Priest Liao Chen, accompanied by a group of his apprentices. They stood by the road not far from the Qin Mansion’s main gate. Upon seeing Su Pan’er come out, they bowed their heads and greeted her respectfully.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, Lady Benefactor, I hope you have been well."

Su Pan’er’s lips twitched slightly, "Certainly, having parted just a few hours ago, naturally, I am well."

"Lady Benefactor must understand, the Poor Daoist is not referring to that matter."

Venerable Priest Liao Chen’s face held a knowing smile, "Today, I had planned to leave, but before departing, I wished to speak a few words with you, so I made a special trip here."

Su Pan’er mockingly bent down to return the courtesy.

"I appreciate the Teacher’s concern."

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing."

Venerable Priest Liao Chen, seemingly oblivious to the reluctance on Su Pan’er’s face, looked around and suggested, "This is not a place for conversation, what do you think, Lady Benefactor..."

Su Pan’er hesitated for a moment before turning around, "There’s a small pavilion up ahead, quite secluded. Shall we go there for a chat?"

Su Pan’er had no intention of letting such a person with ulterior motives enter the Qin Mansion.

Seeing Su Pan’er choose a distant spot over a nearby one, Taoist Priest Liao Chen didn’t say much. Instead, he turned back and whispered a few words to his apprentices before following Su Pan’er’s lead, heading quickly towards the pavilion.

This little pavilion is located between Qin Mansion and the old Qin Family house and was originally a place to stop for shelter from the sun. There were no other houses around the Qin residence, but ever since Su Pan’er built a large courtyard here, over a dozen families had moved nearby. The stone road had been widened, making it very convenient for carriages to come and go. And this small pavilion sat right on the edge of the stone road.

As Su Pan’er walked into the pavilion, before Venerable Priest Liao Chen could speak, she took the initiative to bow and express her gratitude, "Venerable Priest, when we encountered danger back then, it was thanks to your assistance that we were rescued. The younger generation is here to thank you."

"It was a mere trifle, not worth mentioning."

Venerable Priest Liao Chen’s face was smiling, and there was a sense of having seen through the affairs of the world in his eyes, which made Su Pan’er’s face flush slightly.

"In fact, the reason I made a special trip here today is to ask Lady Benefactor about something. You should be acquainted with Huangjue Temple’s Abbot Liao Jue, shouldn’t you?"

Liao Jue?

Upon mentioning this name, Su Pan’er’s eyes narrowed, and her whole demeanor turned instantly fierce, filled with murderous intent.

She let out a cold laugh as her hand silently moved toward the dagger at her waist.

"What does it matter if I know him or not?"

"Lady Benefactor, please do not misunderstand, you and I are friends, not foes."

Venerable Priest Liao Chen saw Su Pan’er’s posture and quickly waved his hands, his eyes conveying a different meaning, "Lady Benefactor must have heard, the enemy of one’s enemy is a friend. I and that old bald donkey Liao Jue have irreconcilable hatred! In the future, if Lady Benefactor needs my assistance, feel free to find me at Qingcheng Mountain. Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!"

This statement caused Su Pan’er’s eyes to sharply narrow.

"What do you mean by that, Taoist Priest?"

She had a feud with that bald donkey Liao Jue, but how did Taoist Priest Liao Chen know about it?

Venerable Priest Liao Chen smiled faintly, "This poor Daoist, though not particularly skilled, also has some lay disciples in Lin City."

Oh, that explains it!

Su Pan’er suddenly understood why the priest seemed so well-informed.

A smile squeezed onto her face as well, "Don’t worry, when the need arises, I will definitely seek your help!"

Venerable Priest Liao Chen also noticed Su Pan’er’s insincere tone, but he didn’t say anything more. After saying goodbye, he left with his apprentices.

Once Venerable Priest Liao Chen had departed, Su Pan’er thought for a moment and then went to seek out Qin Yueshi for information.

"Sister-in-law, have you heard who was sent by the Mr. Yin-Yang to ask for help?"

"You mean the Taoist priest and his group? It seems to be someone from the eldest brother of the main family who had people invite him over. I heard something to that effect; apparently, he is a Taoist master from Qingcheng Mountain, on temporary stay at our Yongze County’s Sanqing View. It just so happened that he met the people from the eldest brother’s side who were inviting him, and out of obligation, he came over. What’s wrong, is there an issue?"

Qin Yueshi was somewhat uncertain about Su Pan’er’s intentions.

"Nothing, I was just curious,"

Su Pan’er said with a reassuring smile, "Although there are many monks and nuns nowadays, truly renowned Taoist priests are few. I want to keep it in mind, just in case it’s needed later."

"You’re right about that, it should be remembered,"

Qin Yueshi laughed in agreement, "The children are growing up day by day, and we’ll need to match their horoscopes eventually, won’t we?"

Those words made Su Pan’er’s gaze fall on Qin Shuan’er, who was playing with Qin Yanyan by her side.

"What are your thoughts on Shuang’er’s future?"

Shuang’er was a charming child, and Su Pan’er had taken a liking to her from the first glance; she couldn’t bear to see Shuang’er suffer.
