Chapter 16: Temptation

Yin Lingzhi was very happy to say, "Changsheng, it seems that you like my tea very much. This is the leaves of Longxian wood that I picked from Zhongnan Mountain. It has the effect of sobering the brain, refreshing, fragrance and avoiding filth." Her words are obviously very kind, not as reserved as ordinary daoist.

Li Changsheng hurriedly put down his tea cup and said, "Your tea is very delicious and elegant. I feel that all the viscera have been purified."

Yin Lingzhi said, "That's good. If you like it, you can come and sit down often. I will stay here for a few days."

Hearing this, Shen Ziyu frowned in his heart. The woman Taoist in front of he is really unpredictable and looks proud and aloof, but she seems to be very fond of Li Changsheng. Shen Ziyu learned from their conversation that Yin Lingzhi had left Wenshi Temple to experience life in a big city and had always been dressed up as an old lady. But this time, in order to meet Li Changsheng, she actually showed her true face.

If you say Yin Lingzhi fell in love with Li Changsheng, Shen Ziyu would not believe it. According to the information he had learned before, Yin Lingzhi, who was known as Guye Fairy, was a pious Taoist with a clear mind and few desires. What's more, Yin Lingzhi's eyes did not show the love of a woman in love from beginning to end. However, such a gorgeous woman Taoist openly invited a young man to drink tea. This kind of thing is also very unusual between men and women in the world, let alone Taoist.

Yin Lingzhi smiled and said, "Today's tea has been finished. You have something important to do. If you like tea, come back tomorrow."

Shen Ziyu blinked, raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "Mr. Changsheng, come here yourself tomorrow!"

Shen Ziyu and Yin Lingzhi smiled at each other, seemingly implying some tacit understanding.

They said goodbye to Yin Lingzhi and went to see the master of the Wong Tai Sin Temple. The master's surname is Deng. He has a round face and big ears. His face is full of red light. He is affable and quite approachable. As soon as the two sides met, Master Deng shook Li Changsheng's hand and laughed. After Li Changsheng explained his intention, Master Deng said that he would certainly cooperate with Boss Chen. Everything at the Wong Tai Sin Temple will be arranged properly according to the requirements of Boss Chen, and will fully cooperate with the reception of foreign guests, and at the same time publicize the religious culture of our country to add glory to the country.

When the two were leaving, Master Deng shook hands again with enthusiasm. Li Changsheng could not thank him enough, because once Master Deng gave him the Taoist etiquette: "Buddha of Infinite Life, humble Taoist salutes you!" He did not know what etiquette to use. It is easy to get along with religious leaders who are focused on money.

On their way back, the clear sky had darkened and turned dark blue. The cool autumn wind is very pleasant. Shen Ziyu said that he didn't understand some foreign-related documents. His relatives and uncles cooked bass for dinner tonight. Why don't they have dinner together? He just asked about the documents in the evening.

When they returned to his Uncle's villa, they saw a note at the table saying that dinner was ready and in the pot. He and his aunt have something to go out. Let them eat by themselves. There are steamed bass and several other dishes in the kitchen drawer, which looks tempting.

Shen Ziyu went back to his bedroom on the second floor to simply wash and walked to the mirror, He said to himself in the mirror, "Come on, let's take a step and take a look. Although your beauty can make the koi in the water sink to the bottom with shame, and let the wild geese flying in the sky fall down because they want to appreciate your beauty. Your wisdom and scheme are unmatched. But Yin Lingzhi is also a woman whose beauty can attract people from all over the country to come and watch, and her wisdom is not bad." He recalled that when they parted, they smiled to each other, Obviously, the two people should use their own means to detain Li Changsheng.

Shen Ziyu took off the wig cover on her head, and the long black hair fell down like a waterfall. She took off her work coat and put on a white dark flower dress from the wardrobe. She looked in the mirror and saw that white clothes were better than snow and black hair was like ink. It was really the face of an angel and the figure of a devil. Shen Ziyu turned around in the mirror, felt that her figure and skirt were perfectly matched, and then walked lightly to the living room downstairs. She saw Li Changsheng sitting in front of the table, staring at the delicious food, holding back his saliva and waiting for her.

Shen Ziyu laughed and scolded a fool in her heart, but said: "Mr. Changsheng has no appetite? Why not eat?"

Li Changsheng turned around and looked at Shen Ziyu. Suddenly, he jumped up from his chair and knocked over a can of appetizer soup on the table.

Shen Ziyu is tall and thin. Although she is a little lower than Li Changsheng, she and Li look the same tall when they go out together with high insoles. She usually deliberately dresses up as a man, and chooses clothes, pants and shoes with sharp edges and corners. Her wig is soft and elegant short hair, which makes her handsome and unrestrained. With her decisive personality, it is really impossible to determine her gender. At this time, Li Changsheng was shocked to see Shen Ziyu suddenly become a woman.

Shen Ziyu laughed and said, "Am I so ugly? I'm scared of you!"

Li Changsheng settled down and stroked his heart and cried, "My God! You, you, you are a girl! Ziyu, are you all girls from Beijing like this? You like to dress up as men and go out of the house, go everywhere and start a career. I really admire you!"

"I'm sorry, Changsheng, it's my rudeness." Shen Ziyu sat at the table with thick hair on her chest, She calmly said, "This is a stupid, selfish and unreasonable story. If you follow Yin Lingzhi to study Taoist Kung Fu in Zhongnan Mountain, it will be good for me. It is generally believed that after you leave, I can take over your job and promote faster in the future. If you pay attention to the company's recent orders, you will find that the company's sales performance is excellent at present, and we have great potential for improvement in the company."

Shen Ziyu continued, "So I shouldn't stop you from leaving, but I really don't want you to go to the mountains and forests with that woman Taoist priest. You are very young and have unlimited possibilities in the future. You should marry and have children and try to make your parents' life better. This is all you can do."

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Ziyu, thank you for your concern. You are more knowledgeable and experienced than me. I will seriously consider your suggestions. Pursuing immortality and gaining infinite strength is what I want to do now. But my family is in the countryside, where there are poor parents and a sister. These are all things that I can't put down in my heart. So whether I want to go to Zhongnan Mountain to practice, I think I won't do in the short term."

"Dong!". Shen Ziyu hit her forehead on the table.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Changsheng said in surprise.

"Don't talk to me, let me kill myself." Shen Ziyu's voice was full of failure. Since she became an adult, everything has been successfully planned. In order to prevent Li Changsheng from becoming a taoist this time, she even restored the girl's true colors to increase the chips to block him. Unexpectedly, Li Changsheng has not planned to go into the mountain to practice.

But Shen Ziyu don't know why she felt like laughing, and she was smiling. Shen Ziyu said in her heart, "Although I exposed my identity as a woman this time, which was stupid and failed, I am still very happy now. Because Li Changsheng has no intention of going to Zhongnan Mountain to become a Taoist. I'm afraid Yin Lingzhi in the Wong Tai Sin Temple will also be disappointed."
