Chapter 215 Young Bai Yu
On the second day, at first light of dawn, the entire Beichen Kingdom was in an uproar over a piece of news.
The news of the return of Shen Li's immortal master Xuanfeng Sanren spread quickly through the streets, towns and villages as if it had wings.
At the same time, the strange story of a young man in a green robe buying a green fairy rabbit for only 50,000 taels also followed closely, capturing everyone's curiosity.
The speed at which the news spread was astonishing, as if it swept through like a gust of wind, causing a sensation wherever it went.
On the streets and alleys, people gathered in groups of three or five, discussing enthusiastically.
In the teahouse, the tea drinkers who were originally discussing the great harvest event of 4,500 kilograms of new sweet potato were instantly attracted by the fresher and more legendary news, and the topic turned to Shen Li's immortal master and the magical fairy rabbit.
At the market, vendors stopped their business and passers-by halted their hurried steps, all immersed in this topic.
This story is being told in every luxurious mansion of the rich and powerful and in every humble hut of the common people.
Even neighboring countries heard about it. Merchants on the border could not help but talk about this strange story when trading, and the news gradually spread to surrounding countries.
While everyone was amazed, they were also full of curiosity and speculation about the identity of the green-robed boy.
Who is he and what family does he come from?
Why did he have such strong financial resources and courage to spend 50,000 taels to buy a fairy rabbit?
Some curious people asked around, not missing any clues that might lead to the truth.
Some went to Fu Xi Lou and tried to pry a few words out of the store clerks;
Some of them tried to find some clues by indirect means in the circles of powerful people in the capital.
The whole country seems to be shrouded in this mystery, and everyone is looking forward to uncovering the mystery of the green-robed boy's identity as soon as possible.
Who was the green-robed youth? At that moment, in the luxurious courtyard of Bai Xuanzhou, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sunlight filtered through the mottled leaves, casting a shadow over the exquisitely carved corridors and elegant pavilions, adding a touch of tranquility and luxury to this world.
Bai Yu was sitting on a sandalwood carved chair, holding the big fluffy green rabbit tightly in his arms, with an expression of reluctance to let go.
His slender fingers gently stroked the rabbit's soft fur, again and again, as if he was touching the most precious treasure in the world. The more he touched, the more he liked it. The light flashing in his eyes became brighter, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He was immersed in the joy of receiving the fairy's pet and could not extricate himself.
The servant standing behind him, Tian Shun, had a grimace on his face, his brows furrowed so tightly that they looked like they could pinch a fly to death. He said bitterly, "Second Young Master, if Madam knows you've spent so much silver, she'll definitely kill me! You know Madam values money the most. Fifty thousand taels of silver is no small sum. Even if I had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough to pay for it."
As Tian Shun spoke, he looked at Bai Yu with pleading eyes. Anyone who saw his pitiful appearance would inevitably feel pity.
After hearing this, Bai Yu glared at him unhappily, as if to say that Tian Shun was really a coward, and then said nonchalantly: "I bet you, not only will she not kill you, she will be very happy to reward you!" Bai Yu's tone revealed full confidence, as if he had already seen his mother's surprised look.
"But," Bai Yu changed the subject, curled his lips, and a worried look appeared on his face again. He muttered softly, "She might snatch my fairy pet away if she finds out!" He subconsciously hugged the fairy rabbit in his arms tighter, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away from him at the next moment. His originally bright eyes were also stained with a little haze, and he began to think about how to keep this fairy pet firmly by his side.
Bai Yu's fingers were still gently stroking the rabbit's soft and smooth fur. The touch was delicate and warm, making him feel that this fairy pet was even more precious.
While caressing her, his mind involuntarily emerged with the image of Shen Li, the Lady of Fuxi County, whom he met in Fuxi Tower that day.
Shen Li that day had a light figure, like a willow branch dancing in the spring wind, revealing a unique agility.
Her fair face is like the first snow in winter, with a faint lustrous luster. Her bright eyes twinkle like stars, revealing intelligence and agility. When she smiles, two shallow dimples appear on her cheeks, just like honey, sweet to the heart.
Her every gesture and movement exudes the elegance of a lady from a noble family, yet is also a bit playful and cute, like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world by mistake, making it unforgettable for people to see her.
Bai Yu couldn't help but mutter, "I thought the county lady was some sage, able to run Fuxilou so prosperously, with that mysterious immortal master and even a fairy pet. She must be a powerful and difficult character to mess with, but she turns out to be a lovely little girl!"
As he spoke, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, as if recalling the scene of meeting Shen Li that day, and there was a different light flickering in his eyes.
His eyes flickered and he slowly lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
The drooping eyelids obscured the complex emotions in his eyes, and his thoughts seemed to be trapped in a fog. Sometimes he thought of Shen Li's lovely appearance, sometimes of the magical fairy rabbit, and sometimes he began to wonder how to deal with his mother's reaction after she knew about this. Many thoughts entangled in his mind and were difficult to dissipate for a long time.
