Book 1: Chapter 12.2: Pretending To Be Young And Ingenuous Is An Old Man's Special Skill


Thinking all the way, Bai Qiuran came to an upscale restaurant in the Shangxuan Kingdom. After throwing dozens of silver, he found a table in the top floor, and then used his superhuman hearing to capture the talking of the guests in this restaurant, while opening up his magnificent Soul Awareness to scan through the entire capital.


But after some searching, Bai Qiuran didn’t find anything weird in the city. He also focused on observing the palace of the Shangxuan Kingdom. However, whether it was the emperor of Shangxuan Kingdom, the prince, the spiritual advisor or his first disciple Sima Inbo, they did not show any abnormalities.


The spiritual advisor and Sima Inbo did not have the magic qi that would appear on the body of the monk, they should be normal cultivators.


In the process, Bai Qiuran also saw Tang Ruowei returning to the palace. She should be in her palace in the harem of the palace. When Bai Qiuran saw her, the princess who had a lot of prejudices about the practitioner had changed to a woman’s dress, which looked pretty and beautiful, but Bai Qiuran saw that she was working hard in front of a tall mirror. She was stuffing something in her bra and bulge it.


That reminded Bai Qiuran of his former self. Before he met the Qingming Taoist, he wandered around those battlefields to pick up the clothes and weapons of the dead to sell for money.


Occasionally when he was lucky, he was able to pull out the uneaten dry food on the soldiers’ bodies. At this time, he would also stuff these foods into his clothes and bulge.


But why Tang Ruowei do that?


Could it be that Shangxuan royal family is actually poor? It didn’t look like that…


He laughed at his own wild guessing, Bai Qiuran retracted his Soul Awareness and didn’t pay attention to the palace again.


From the current point of view, there should be no clues to the Royal Palace, and I must find another breakthrough point.


Just then, Bai Qiuran’s ears caught the conversation of the people downstairs.


“Hey, this celestial ceremony is really troublesome. The previous ones were not all internal affairs of the royal family. Why did we suddenly ask us to encourage all boys and girls to go and participate in the ceremony?”


“Huh?”


Capturing the two sensitive words “boys and girls” and “celestial ceremony”, Bai Qiuran quickly released Soul Awareness and focused on the place where the sound came.


The ones who were talking were two middle-aged men downstairs. Looking at the clothes, they should be two middle-ranking officials from the Shangxuan Kingdom.


“Well, what His Majesty and the Master think, how do we courtiers know?”


One of the middle-aged men said:


“Maybe they want to borrow the luck of boys and girls. It is estimated that these little children will be allowed to stand and warm up. The situation in the country is really not very optimistic recently.”


“The key is the current situation. Not to mention elsewhere, the residents in the city are not very willing to lend their children and let them follow the ceremony.”


Another official complained:


“If you want to find a family that is willing to lend their child, you still have to go to a remote place, look for those families who have a hard time, give them some money, and say a lot of words… But that’s too frustrating, alas, is there any orphaned kid who was wandering in the streets? No matter boy or girl, that’s fine. “


“Lowing your voice!”


The middle-aged official who spoke first promptly reminded:


“Here is the capital of the kingdom of Shangxuan. If you want all orphans in the capital, wouldn’t you want to smear the face of the holy? Careful with your words, or you’ll lose your head!”


“Sorry, my mouth slipped.”


Another official hurriedly picked up the glass.


“Come here and drink.”


As the two drinking cups after cups, they began to talk about other things, so Bai Qiuran retracted his Soul Awareness and touched his chin.


After a moment, he smiled slightly, wiped out the dishes and wine on the table, leaving money, left the restaurant, and walked to a nearby desolate corner.


After scanning and confirming that no one was around, Bai Qiuran’s body suddenly made a sound like a burst of beans. Then, his body shrank, his face gradually changed, and his hair changes from white to black. Finally, in the place of Bai Qiuran, stood a dark-haired boy with a young and lovely face.
