Chapter 964: Chapter 969: Poor Daoist Does Not Misjudge People

"Hahaha... the fish, the grilled fish is about to burn!"

Taoist Priest Liao Chen’s attention, however, was on the grilled fish in Su Pan’er’s hands.

"Don’t panic, even if I were to close my eyes, I wouldn’t burn the fish!"

Su Pan’er had that much confidence in herself.

Taoist Priest Liao Chen, unusually, didn’t argue; as soon as the grilled fish was ready, he snatched it up and started eating it with big bites.

"There’s no one else around here, Priest?"

The surroundings were so quiet!

Su Pan’er hadn’t noticed before, but now she realized the quietness around her was excessive.

"This is just a temporary dwelling for me, naturally there are no others."

Taoist Priest Liao Chen, his mouth covered in grease, showed no self-consciousness of a celibate. It was a good thing he was also a glutton, and after finished a few grilled fish, he picked up the fishing fork again and went back to the river to spear fish.

The mountain breeze was gentle, blowing across their faces and taking away the heat, exceptionally cool.

Inside the thatched cottage, the fire pit crackled as it burned, giving Su Pan’er a rare sense of warmth.

Seeing Taoist Priest Liao Chen spear another ten or so small fish, Su Pan’er chuckled, "That many? Can you finish them all?"

"If I can’t finish them, you can, can’t you? So, don’t complain. If it weren’t for you being injured and having no one to care for you, I would have left you behind and gone on my way ages ago!"

Speaking of leaving, Su Pan’er remembered something else.

"Was it you who threw that rascal pig outside my window back in Luoyan Village?"

Even though she had long known the truth from the rascal pig’s own mouth, Su Pan’er still asked him.

"Clever! But, how did you figure it out?"

Taoist Priest Liao Chen was genuinely puzzled!

Although he had always intended to befriend Su Pan’er, including this time, the fact that she could guess his involvement still made him curious.

"Because the only person who would do such an unreliable thing is you!"

Su Pan’er said frankly.

Taoist Priest Liao Chen was unpredictable by nature, disliking constraints and acting on a whim. So it made perfect sense to Su Pan’er that he was behind that off-the-wall incident.

"You’re the first one to ever call Poor Daoist unreliable!"

Taoist Priest Liao Chen gave a thumbs up.

Over the years, people had always showered him with titles like "master strategist," "immortal," "diviner," "venerable priest," but not a single one had ever called him unreliable! It felt utterly novel to him.

Su Pan’er quickly gutted and scaled the fish, continuing to grill them, without agreeing or denying.

"Do you remember what Poor Daoist told you before, Lady Benefactor?"

"What did you say?"

"About that Old Bald Donkey, Liao Jue."

"Oh! — You said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"

Su Pan’er suddenly recalled Taoist Priest Liao Chen had once said that when the time came to confront Bald Donkey Liao Jue, all she had to do was tell him, and he would surely help.

At the time, she had thought he was just speaking casually, but now, he was bringing it up again.

"Correct! Lady Benefactor, rest assured, on the day that comes, Poor Daoist will lead the charge without hesitation."

Su Pan’er turned the grilled fish in her hand, noncommittal.

That evening, the two of them, leaning against the mountain and by the riverbank, talked freely about everything under the sun. The more they talked, the more they hit it off, until it got darker and darker, and Su Pan’er didn’t realize when she had fallen asleep.

When she finally couldn’t resist the call of sleep and drifted off, tranquility returned to their surroundings, with only the crackling of the burning flames.

Su Pan’er was startled awake by the chirping sounds.

The area was unusually peaceful, with no sound to be heard, not even Taoist Priest Liao Chen could be seen anywhere.

Only next to the thatched hut on the stone table was a silver pouch, with a note underneath it. Su Pan’er picked it up and quickly scanned it, then immediately broke into a run. She chased for a long while, but still could not see the person who had already left.

This Old Taoist Niubizi had actually just run off like that!

Su Pan’er felt emotional!

With the silver pouch given by Taoist Priest Liao Chen in her possession, considering the journey to the Capital City was still long, Su Pan’er couldn’t refuse and left the thatched hut with the pouch in hand.

Only after Su Pan’er had left did a figure emerge from behind the hut, murmuring to himself as he watched her retreating figure.

"I hope, I have not misjudged!"

With silver in hand, Su Pan’er headed north. After walking more than ten miles, she finally saw a postal relay station.

She had originally thought to continue traveling by boat, but considering those people had not succeeded yet, if she took the water route and encountered them again, the loss would outweigh the gain! She changed her mind on the spot, found a nearby escort agency right away, and traveled north with them by land all the way to Shengjing.

Fortunately, these escorts were competent, and they didn’t encounter any outlaws who raid homes and plunder houses along the way. Nevertheless, the difference between traveling by land and by canal was clear. The Canal was unobstructed, and with the large grain boats moving swiftly, it was unexpected that she could still reach the Capital City safely, even though it was a few days later than expected.

Su Pan’er entered Shengjing and, after both hurrying and walking at a slower pace, finally arrived at the most crucial moment in the Golden Throne Hall, standing next to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi listened in silence to Su Pan’er recounting her past, feeling quite astonished!

"You said Venerable Priest Liao Chen, is he the one who foretold Qin Hong’s fortune that year?"

Back then, Qin Hong had a fortuitous encounter with Venerable Priest Liao Chen, and after receiving guidance from him, Qin Hong completely changed his attitude and began his legendary life.

At this moment, what was the purpose of this Taoist Priest Liao Chen reaching out to Su Pan’er?

After a moment’s thought, Qin Yi felt that at least one thing the other party said was right, "Let’s not discuss Venerable Priest Liao Chen’s abilities for now, at least he can help us deal with Bald Donkey Liao Jue. With that Old Bald Donkey having countless hideouts, we don’t even know where he is hiding, so how can we talk about anything else?"

"If this Taoist Priest Liao Chen can really handle him, this can save us a great deal of effort and also add a new force to our ranks."

"If he truly fails and cannot handle him, we still have room to maneuver and no real loss."

After this conversation, Su Pan’er looked at him with admiration!

"Don’t worry! I understand. I won’t give the other side an opportunity..."

Su Pan’er wanted to say more, but the Chief Steward hurried in, "Your Majesty, Empress, the Banquet at the Palace is ready, and the ministers are all waiting in the Imperial Garden!"

That’s right!

The banquet had yet to begin.

The two looked at each other and saw a look of relief in each other’s eyes.

"Let’s go! We shall move to the Imperial Garden and have a few good drinks with the ministers."

Qin Yi was all smiles, holding Su Pan’er’s hand tightly. Nothing beats the high spirits at happy events!

He truly looked refreshed at this moment, no longer showing the initial state of dejection. Indeed, his spirit, appearance, and whole being had changed considerably.

"Great! Let’s go out together."

Qin Yi, with his arm around Su Pan’er’s waist, stood up and walked outside.
