Xie Lige went down the mountain with a cold look on his face.
Cao Cao smiled and looked at him in amazement as he walked slowly. It was as if he was walking in the air without leaving a trace on the snow. Cao Cao could not take his eyes off him.
The System thought for a while. It felt that Cao Cao was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Sympathy!
Its host's pretentious skills had never failed until now.
This was the result of the accumulation of several worlds.
Perhaps it was because this successful pretentious method was particularly elegant and refined.
Boss Cao, who had just lived for more than ten years, had never seen anything like this. As soon as he arrived in the city, he prepared a very quiet and secluded residence for the immortal that he had painstakingly invited. Snow scenery, rockery,
Green bamboo, as long as it was related to the legendary immortal, there was nothing missing.
When Xie Lige walked in, he even caught a glimpse of the prayer beads placed at the side.
He was speechless.
He did not know whether to tell the other party that he was a Taoist and a Buddhist, or that he was just a person who practiced the sword.
Cao Cao saw the prayer beads at the side, and his expression was very interesting.
He immediately wanted to go back and ask the clan brother who arranged the residence. His mind was still on top of his head from time to time.
"This is improper." Cao Cao saw Xie Lige stop halfway and stare at the prayer beads.
He immediately understood.
He thought that Xie Lige was unhappy.
His tone was apologetic.
Xie Lige waved his hand, indicating that he did not mind. He was a pure Yang person.
He was still a dabbler. He would not have a conflict over a prayer bead.
Cao Cao was very touched. He felt that this immortal was really a good person.
The System was also very touched.
It had not seen such a gullible person in a long time.
Xie Lige was dizzy from the System's noise.
The surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower.
Cao Cao was so cold that he could not bear it. He could not say the words that he had prepared in his stomach. He only felt that his whole body was emitting cold air. He said goodbye.
After returning to the magistrate's office, he immediately sent a few servants here.
Its beautiful name was: Serving the Immortals.
However, when Xie Lige opened the door, he saw a series of old and young people. He coldly rejected them and told them to go back to where they came from. He didn't even allow them to enter and slammed the door shut.
Perhaps it was because of his cold face and imposing manner, the group of servants didn't even dare to breathe loudly when they arrived. When they heard these words, they all looked at each other and then at the closed door. None of them dared to knock on the door. What should they do? They could only return to the Cao Manor and say the exact same words, not daring to add a single word.
When Cao Cao heard the servant's words, he frowned, thinking that the servant was dissatisfied.
He then looked at the group of servants who had returned safely and shook his head. Something was not right.
After waving his hand to dismiss the servant, he returned to the immortal's mansion. This time, he had learned his lesson. He wore thicker clothes, determined not to be frozen like a dog in front of the immortal.
However, he still couldn't enter.
Cao Cao stood outside the door and watched the sword shadow dance in the mansion. The light blue light illuminated a large part of the sky. Countless runes flew down from the sky and slowly flowed into the mansion like a stream. Many people who didn't know what was going on gathered not far away to watch this scene. They all knelt down and prayed, loudly praying for the immortal's protection. It was a superstitious scene.
When they saw Cao Cao bring a large group of people over, their eyes were filled with fear. They looked at each other and left one after another.
When the people left, they were still reluctant to leave. They looked longingly at the mansion that was emitting the light blue sword shadow, especially at the white figure that was leaping in the light shadow.
This was a living immortal.
Now, only Cao Cao and the group of people from the Cao Family were left outside the mansion. They stared blankly at the scene that was happening in the mansion.
"Elder brother, this is a real immortal!"
A member of the Cao Family was stunned. He looked at the handsome white-haired man in the mansion with shock. He originally wanted to expose this sorcerer who had confused his elder brother, but he didn't expect to meet the real deal.
"Is this immortal not satisfied with our arrangement?"
"What kind of sorcery is the immortal using?"
"We can feel the chill even though we are so far away. I'm afraid this is the immortal's method."
First impressions were very important. Before they even saw Xie Lige in person, some members of the Cao Family were already praising him. Their voices were filled with excitement.
Huge sword shadows fell in the mansion. The members of the Cao Family wanted to make friends with the immortal, but they didn't dare to go forward. Cao Cao led his advisors and watched from the front.
"…" Xi Zhicai looked at the scene in front of him in amazement. For the first time in his life, he didn't drink the wine in his hand. Instead, he held it in his hand.
He sighed and said, "My lord has caused me a lot of trouble this time."
Cao Cao chuckled at his friend's complaint and didn't care. Besides, Xi Zhicai didn't get angry. He was probably also full of disbelief.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was such a capable person in the world.
After watching for a while, Cao Cao guessed that the immortal's sword practice would last for a long time. He didn't knock on the door to disturb him. Instead, he turned to everyone and said, "Let's go back first."
Xi Zhicai chuckled. He drank his wine and followed behind him with a smile.
As for the other members of the Cao Family, they stared intently at everything that was happening in the manor and committed it to memory. At the same time, they also instructed the servants beside the manor to take good care of the immortal inside. Only then did they reluctantly leave.
Xi Zhicai followed Cao Cao to the office. After turning left and right, they arrived at the study. As soon as they entered, Cao Cao said with a smile, "What do you think, Zhicai?"
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai's relationship was very good. They were more like close friends. It was rare for them to invite an immortal. Even Cao Cao couldn't help but want to show off.
Xi Zhicai lived up to his reputation as a ghost. He said seriously, "If you have this person, you can have the world."
This was no longer in the category of mortals. Mortals couldn't fight with immortals. In the face of the high and mighty immortals, no matter how many mortals there were, they were just insignificant ants.
Cao Cao deeply agreed.
At the same time, some of the people who had seen Xie Lige practicing swordsmanship outside the mansion began to excitedly describe the scene of them seeing the immortal. They praised him to the heavens, making the people's eyes light up. Most of their words were not true, but these people were very happy to hear it.
Inside and outside the city, the story of the immortal began to spread. Because the description was too realistic, most of the people chose to believe it. They all said that they wanted to see the immortal, even if they died, it would be worth it.
Unfortunately, when they reached the mansion in the story, they were stopped by the guards beside the mansion.
They held their spears horizontally and directly stopped this group of people from entering.
The people could only see the mansion from afar and reluctantly return. However, even if they returned, they had countless things to brag about.
Just like this, Xie Lige unknowingly gained countless fans, to the extent that they were die-hard fans.
The truth was that he simply threw out a few sets of mountains and rivers. After Xie Lige, who was familiar with the feeling, learned everything from the System, his expression was very strange. For a while, he did not speak. The System could not help but complain, "The ancients nowadays have so many ideas."
Xie Lige agreed in his heart. So many dramas.
The next day, when he opened the door, he met Cao Cao, followed by a handsome man who looked like he had died early.
Xie Lige was about to go out, but before he could lift his foot, his gaze paused for a moment on Xi Zhicai's pale smiling face. He silently withdrew his foot and looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao very sensibly introduced the person, "This is Xi Zhicai."
Xie Lige nodded coldly. Who didn't know Xi Zhicai?
He was the famous Cao Cao's most valued strategist, but the reason why the latter's name went down in history was because he died early.
He died at such a young age. After his death, his old master, Cao Cao, had been nagging about him and had successfully created a place for him in history.
Xie Lige, with his experience as a bad healer in his previous life, immediately saw that Xi Zhicai's physique was not good. A large part of the problem was from when he was in his mother's womb. In addition, Xi Zhicai loved to drink and did not take good care of himself. He was almost at the end of his life.
Xi Zhicai was also very curious about Xie Lige. He stared at Xie Lige with a smile like a fox. Xie Lige did not know what he was thinking, but his eyes were full of thoughts.
After a while, just as he was wondering why Xie Lige did not let them in, he heard the slightly hesitant voice of the high and mighty immortal.
"Are you … going to die?"
His tone was hesitant but very sure.
Xi Zhicai immediately raised his head to look at the other party, and their eyes met. His eyes were indifferent and pure, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh. Immortals should have such eyes.
"Oh, so you saw through me?"
Xi Zhicai said with a smile. His tone was very casual, as if the subject of the conversation was not him.
Xi Zhicai knew his own body best. He was about to die, and he could clearly feel the loss of strength in his body.
Cao Cao was very worried. When he heard Xi Zhicai's casual words, his face darkened and he shouted, "Zhicai!"
Xi Zhicai, who was about to say that he was fine, immediately understood that Cao Cao was angry. He immediately sat down obediently like a primary school student.
Xie Lige stared at Xi Zhicai in a good mood. In his line of sight, there was an interface next to the tactician. On the interface were various information about Xi Zhicai's body. Xie Lige's gaze landed on the empty blue bar on the interface.
He understood why Xi Zhicai wanted to die.
Xie Lige took out two bottles of small medicine from his pocket and handed them over. He said indifferently, "Drink it."
Xi Zhicai blinked. He did not know how to react.
Xie Lige frowned, thinking that he was not used to drinking medicine.
In for a penny, in for a pound. He used the experience of forcibly feeding medicine to Baili Tusu in his previous life. He held the medicine in one hand and pinched Baili Tusu's chin with the other hand. He poured the medicine directly into Baili Tusu's mouth.
The cold liquid entered his throat unexpectedly. Xi Zhicai reflexively wanted to spit it out, but the big hand around his chin firmly locked his movements like steel. A calm and deep voice came from above his head. "Don't move!"
Xi Zhicai obeyed and did not move.
