Chapter 526 What's so surprising about this?
"Master Xuanqing, what's wrong with this..."

Luo Taiqing spoke subconsciously, thinking that Taoist Xuanqing was referring to Lu Tu's acceptance of a disciple. Before he could finish his words, he followed Taoist Xuanqing's gaze and noticed that Wang Ping'an, who was standing next to Zhang Guihua, could not help but rub his eyes, with disbelief on his face and in his eyes.

"Master Xuanqing, Master Luo, what happened to you?"

Cheng Yong looked at Luo Taiqing and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He seemed to have seen something unbelievable. He stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief. He followed the gazes of Taoist Xuanqing and Luo Taiqing and saw Wang Pingan beside Zhang Guihua. He asked in confusion:

"Isn't it just that Ping An can stand up and walk? What's so shocking about that?"

"Village chief, you, you, don't forget that Ping An is only a few months old, not even half a year old!"

Si Ping reminded with a trembling voice.

"It's just a few months, so what if few of them can walk..."

Cheng Yong spoke subconsciously, but before he finished speaking, his face changed drastically. He was the head of Hutougou Village, and he had seen many children in Hutougou. It was not that he had never seen a baby who could walk, but most of them were about one year old. Like Wang Ping'an, who was only a few months old, he could walk and could not stand. This was the first time he had seen one. He was shocked and said:

"I, I, I'm not awake yet, am I? Ping An is only a few months old. How could he, he, he walk?"

“Hiss!”, “Hiss!”, “Hiss!”

The next moment, one gasp after another was heard, followed by people around who couldn't believe that Wang Ping'an could walk upright at just a few months old.

Suspecting that they were dreaming, they pinched their arms hard. The burning pain suddenly woke them up completely.

He quickly looked up at Wang Ping'an and saw that Wang Ping'an was standing upright beside Zhang Guihua, his face and eyes full of horror.

Most of them are either fathers or elders, and they all have children of their own. They understand children better and know clearly that even a one-year-old child cannot stand as steadily as Wang Ping'an.

Zhang Chengyong said proudly, "Don't you think about who our Ping An is? He is a child valued by the leader of the Fox Tribe of Jiu Tou Mountain, the thousand households of the Demon Division of Fengyin County, and the hundred households of the Demon Division of Jingcheng Town. What ordinary children can't do, our Ping An can do, so what's so outrageous about it?
Isn't it just walking? Maybe in a few days, our Ping An will start talking. If he does, won't you be scared to death?"

Wang Ping'an was able to walk upright and very steadily when he was just a few months old. When he saw this scene, he was more or less frightened. Even though he knew at that time that Wang Ping'an was valued by many people and that he was an extraordinary child, he was still unable to accept this fact.

He could understand the shocked looks from the people around him, but when he thought about it, his uncle was a show-off man and didn't say anything, he probably hoped that he would stand up and say what his uncle wanted to say.

Naturally, he had to satisfy his uncle's ideas!
"Little brother, you are right. Ping An is a child who cannot be viewed with common sense!"

Taoist Xuanqing quickly woke up from his shock and looked at Wang Ping'an with a look of affection but more of worry. He knew that there was a vicious woman who was eyeing this child covetously. He changed his words and said:

"Logically speaking, it's not up to me to decide who Ping An chooses as his master..."

Liu Dongzhu interrupted first, "Master, you can't say that. You sacrificed twenty years of your life for our family's safety. How could you not have the right to make the decision on our family's safety? Whether our family worships Captain Lv as our master or not is up to you, Master!"

"Twenty years of life?"

Before Taoist Xuanqing opened his mouth, the people around him couldn't help but exclaimed. Compared to others, there were still many people who didn't know about this. After all, Taoist Xuanqing was not the kind of person who liked to show off.

Cheng Yong stepped forward and asked, "Dongzhu, you said that Taoist Xuanqing sacrificed twenty years of his life for the safety of your family. How come I didn't know about this?" Liu Dongzhu didn't rush to answer Cheng Yong's question. Instead, he glanced at Taoist Xuanqing. Seeing that he didn't stop him, he said, "Village Chief, it's our family that's sorry to the Taoist..."

Subsequently.

Liu Dongzhu told the whole story, explaining why Taoist Xuanqing had lost twenty years of his life.

Not long after.

After listening to Liu Dongzhu's narration, Cheng Yong, the people of Hutougou, and Luo Taiqing's guards all looked at Taoist Xuanqing in shock.

They never imagined that when the servants of the prime minister's daughter wanted to kill Liu Dongzhu and her son, Taoist Xuanqing was so bold as to go to the capital and break into the prime minister's residence.

No wonder his life span was shortened by twenty years!
At this time.

People didn't know whether to sympathize with Taoist Xuanqing for losing twenty years of his life, or to be glad that he only lost twenty years of his life.

Prime Minister!

What kind of person is he? He is second only to the Prime Minister and above everyone else. It cannot be said that there are no such people who have the courage to break into the Prime Minister's residence, but they are definitely very few, perhaps only one in ten thousand - no, one in a million, and they only have the idea.

Almost no one dared to take action. After all, it was a place more dangerous than a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

They had never heard of anyone who could leave alive after breaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Taoist Xuanqing only lost twenty years of his life. It can only be said that the Prime Minister was very tolerant!

Taoist Xuanqing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw the shocked people around him, he changed his words:

"It's getting late. What's the matter? Let's go back and talk about it."

Cheng Yong looked up at the sky. The sun was high in the sky and it was still a long time before it set. How could it be so late? A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. He understood the meaning of Taoist Xuanqing's words and said goodbye:
"Master, Master Luo, I have other things to do, I'll leave first!"

Subsequently.

Other residents of Hutougou also said goodbye.

"Uncle-in-law, I'm leaving too..."

Zhang Chengyong stood up and prepared to leave, but before he could take a few steps, Luo Taiqing called him and said:

"Brother Zhang, Lion Ridge is quite a distance away from us. If you walk alone, you may not be able to get home even after dark. You should take the horse I gave you."

Zhang Chengyong was about to refuse, but before he could finish his words, Luo Taiqing interrupted him:
"Why, do you dislike this fine horse or dislike me, Luo Taiqing, and are unwilling to accept my kindness?"
