C142 ~ Can I join the Listening Rain Pavilion?

Gongsun Ze Tian walked back to the group of Situ Family and stood in front of his father, Situ Qingtian.

"Father, let's give a portion of our food to this group of people to respond to emergency situations. Moreover, send people to the surrounding counties to purchase a batch of food. It won't help much, at least let them have a chance of survival." This was also the first time he used such a serious tone to speak to his father about a very serious matter.

"Xiao San, you did very well. I am very pleased." "Don't worry, I'll send someone to handle these matters." Situ Qingtian looked at his son in satisfaction, a sense of pride rising up within him. He couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to hug the child, but he stopped for a moment and only reached out to stroke his head a few times.

His own son was only five years old, but he had already taken care of a sudden matter in a neat and orderly manner. The front and the back of his head were even more so, faintly discernible; if it wasn't for his severe illness, he might have been able to become an outstanding person in the world.

When he thought about how his outstanding son might not live past the age of twenty if he was seriously ill, he felt a pain in his heart. When he thought about what his son had just said, he felt a deep sense of meaning.

Perhaps his short life was only able to help him comprehend the profoundness of life and death at such a young age. Situ Qingtian thought absentmindedly.

The plundered farmers were dismissed. Of course, they took part of the food with them before they left, because their families were still waiting for this mouthful of food to save them.

The woman did not leave. Instead, she followed Gongsun Zaitian from afar. Wherever he went, she would follow him.

"Why are you following me?" Gongsun Ztian was getting impatient as he turned around and asked.

"You asked me to find you!" The woman said.

"But I'm talking about night. Do you understand at night? Look at now, what does it mean for the sun to shine brightly in the sky? This is daylight!" Gongsun Ztian said speechlessly.

"..." The woman protested in silence.

"Sigh, forget it. If you want to follow me, then follow me!" Gongsun Ztian was too lazy to respond to her. He went straight back to his car, climbed in, and fell into a deep sleep.

The sun had long ago faded away its scorching aura, but what it got in return was a clear and cold moonlight. At this moment, it was precisely in response to the words "The willow branches on the moon, a person appears after dusk".

Gongsun Ztian slept until the sun had set before he woke up. When he got out of the carriage, he found that the lady in white was still standing by the side of the carriage. However, there was an extra veil over her face.

"Do your family know how stubborn you are?" Gongsun Ztian was somewhat speechless, but he continued to casually joke around with her.

"I have no family, only a master. He knows how stubborn I am!" This girl was rather interesting. She began to answer Gongsun Zaitian's jokes in a serious manner.

Gongsun Ztian did not continue teasing her. Instead, he stretched his back and walked towards the already built camp.

"Young master, you're awake? Just a moment ago, Xiaolan wanted to go and call for you, but she was stopped by this big sister! " When the little girl saw Gongsun Zaitian walking over, she immediately scampered over to his side. Her little eyes secretly glanced at the woman in white behind her as she complained in a low voice.

"Haha, you little girl, do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry!" Gongsun Ztian was amused by this little girl. She had to hold a grudge? He quickly changed the topic.

"Yes, Young Master, please wait a moment. Madam specifically left this for you!" Lan Er will bring it over to you right away! " Lan Er left after saying that.

"Are you hungry? The rations and money you have on you have already been distributed, right? " Gongsun Ztian turned his head to the side and spoke to the lady in white.

"En!" The woman nodded and replied with a word like gold.

"Your family heirloom, 'One Word, Thousand Gold'? Is it so hard to say anything more? " Gongsun Ztian shook his head in silence. This person was like a heavy oil bottle.

Not long after, Little girl Lan'er carried a basket and jogged back to Gongsun Ze Tian's side.

"Let's eat together!" Gongsun Ze Tian called out to the white-clothed female and Lan Er. The three of them sat around each other and started to eat the food in front of them.

After they had their fill, Gongsun Ze Tian found an excuse to send the Little girl Lan'er away. He brought the woman in white to an empty area outside the camp and sat down on a rock.

"What's your name?" Gongsun Ztian was the first to break the silence. He thought that if he did not speak, this woman would be able to sit with him for an entire night without him needing to say a word.

"I... "I ?" The woman stayed in that 'I' for a long time, but she still couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"You don't want to say? Or are you unwilling to speak of it? " Gongsun Ztian asked in puzzlement when he heard her hesitation.

"I don't know how to describe it, but my original name was a form of humiliation to me, so I didn't want to use that name again." The woman was quite calm as she spoke, but once she said those words, the story about her probably wouldn't be heard from her mouth anymore.

"Well, okay, where did you come from?" Gongsun Ztian changed the topic once again.

"I don't want to say it!" This time, the woman was very understanding, and answered straightforwardly.

"..." Gongsun Ze Tian was speechless. He wished he could slap himself in the face. What was' using the spear to attack your shield '? Was there anyone more lowly than him?

"Then why are you following me?" Gongsun Ztian changed the topic once again.

"You might be someone who can answer the questions in my mind!" The woman spoke, but her expression was certain.

"I can't give you an answer. You have to figure out everything on your own. What others are telling you is a story!" Gongsun Ztian shook his head and denied it.

"But I feel that if I follow you, I will find the answer!" The woman said firmly.

"Then if you follow me, you have to work for me. There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Gongsun Ztian did not refute her, but put forward his request. It could be considered a test.

"No problem, what do you need me to do?" When the woman heard Gongsun Zaitian say that he could follow her, she immediately agreed. She was not used to owing others, so doing things was for the best.

"Hehe, then... Is it okay to join the Listening Rain Pavilion? " Gongsun Ztian looked at the other party and asked with a smile on his face.

"Alright!" The woman immediately agreed.

"He agreed so easily?" Gongsun Ztian asked with a look of astonishment. He believed that the process would be very complicated, and he would have to at least rack his brains and waste his breath in order to bring her back to his side. However, all of this wasn't that difficult.

"There are two reasons. Firstly, based on your actions today, I believe you! Secondly, I've heard of this gang. Since its inception, they have done a lot to help others. I admire the leader of this gang. But today, we found out that the leader of this force is only a five year old child. " This was the first time this woman in white had spoken the most.

"Are you disappointed?" Gongsun Ztian jokingly asked.

"Only hope!" The woman answered seriously.

"Alright, this is considered 'Aura of the Bastard'. I will have something to boast about in the future!" Gongsun Ztian felt a little satisfied and started joking again.

"Haha ?" The woman's mouth was slightly raised. Although it was night time, one could still feel her heart opening.

"You actually know how to laugh? I thought you were an ice sculpture! " Gongsun Zaitian was first surprised before feeling relieved. He thought about it and felt that it made sense. There was no one who didn't know how to laugh, only people who didn't want to laugh.

"I rarely laugh, but that doesn't mean I can't laugh!" The woman explained.

"It's hard to work for me! It might even die! " Gongsun Ztian did not continue with his previous topic. Instead, he changed his previous playful expression and emphasized it in a very serious manner.

"I'm not afraid!" The woman stubbornly replied, her tone especially firm.

"Alright, let's talk about treatment!" This is my reward to you! " Gongsun Ze Tian once again returned to his previous tone. It was as if he had turned into a very philistine profiteer.

"No need, I don't need it!" The woman rejected the idea. For the current her, having someone willing to take her in was already a very good thing. Moreover, this person might be able to answer the question that she had been thinking about for a long time.

"What about curing the scar on your face?" Gongsun Ztian smiled playfully, stood up, stared at the girl and slowly said.

"Really?" The woman asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm sure of it." Putting aside the fact that that old ghost Duanmu was currently in the imperial city, even without him, Gongsun Ze Tian already had more than a hundred ways to restore her looks by relying on his title of 'genius alchemist'.

"Alright, I'll work for you for the rest of my life!" When the woman heard Gongsun Zaitian's affirmation, she immediately kneeled down and said.

"Also, I will give you the chance to take revenge with your own hands!" Gongsun Ztian said once again in an astonishing manner.

"How did you know?" The girl's face was filled with surprise. She had never mentioned that she had a grudge, much less that she wanted revenge. How did this little boy know about this?

"Is that important? This reward was originally meant to be given to you in the first place. I was still thinking that if you didn't agree to join my Listening Rain Pavilion, then I could only use this kind of benefits to exchange you for some benefits to serve me. He did not want to be entangled in this aspect. If he were to continue this topic, it might affect her sad past. What was the point in doing this?

"It is indeed not that important! I look forward to that day! " The woman thought for a moment and stopped pursuing the matter. She was glad that she met this magical boy in front of her today.

"I believe it won't be far!" Gongsun Ztian responded with a smile.

"What do I need to do for you now?" The woman asked again.

"It's very simple. Be the hall master of my Listening Rain Pavilion's Heavenly Jade Temple." He had wanted to perfect her four great hall masters for a very long time. It was rare to see such an outstanding person, of course she would be unable to resist and take them in for her own use.

"Hall Master Qiong Tian?" The woman repeated.

"Yes, since you don't want to use the name of the past, I'll give you one. What about Qiong Yu? " Gongsun Ztian thought for a moment and decided to give her a name. Otherwise, if he didn't know how to address her, how could he call her 'Hey, hey'?

"Qiong Yu?" The woman read it again.

"'Send him to the sky, Qiong Yu to Red Dust', not bad, right?!" At the same time, Gongsun Ztian also gifted her a sentence.

But Gongsun Ztian himself never thought that, whether it was the words "On the Twin Imperial Profound Firmament" he gave Qiu Canghai, or the words "To the heavens and earth" he gave Qiong Yu today, both of them would resound across the entire continent one day in the future.

"'Send him to the heavens, Qiong Yu will descend to Hong Chen'. Alright, from now on, my name is Qiong Yu." After the woman carefully pondered over the poem, she nodded and agreed.

"Alright, the reason I brought you here today is to introduce you to someone else. Come out!" Gongsun Ztian said to a pile of rocks.
