Zhang Demin, who received the call, was stunned at first when he heard the three words of the old rascal, and then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly left the school office and rushed to the place where the old lady lived.

He lives outside with his wife and children, but the old lady likes to live in the school, so he follows the old lady's wishes, and visits him every other day on weekdays, doing his filial piety.

When I went upstairs, I saw that the door was open, and the old lady moved a chair and sat in the doorway sulking.

When he saw Zhang Demin coming back, he immediately grabbed him and complained.

"That old rascal is really not a thing, you send him away, stay in the house for a few more moments, I will even have the heart to die. ”

"Mom, don't worry, extinguish the fire, where is the old fairy?"

"The old fairy of the fart, lying on the sofa!"

At this time, Li Xiaoyuan's voice came from the house: "Demin is back, right? Come in, I have something to look for you." ”

Zhang Demin walked in and looked at the bad old man lying on the sofa, dirty and smelly, not only did he not dislike it, but walked a few steps closer with a smile on his face, his hands hung down, and he bent down and saluted respectfully to Li Xiaoyuan.

"Old fairy, I haven't seen you for a few years, are you old and healthy?"

"Haha, Ankang and Kang, the little guy looks a lot older, you have to take care of your body. Li Xiaoyuan sat up slightly and looked up.

Zhang Demin's temples turned white, and he said with a wry smile: "I am so busy with school affairs every day, naturally I can't compare with you the old fairy, but in the past 30 years, you have not changed much." ”

More than 30 years ago, Li Xiaoyuan saved his mother, and a few years ago he rescued his wife, and this kindness is difficult to repay. It can be said that he can live in harmony with his family, all thanks to Li Xiaoyuan.

"By the way, old fairy, what are you looking for me?"

"It's not me, it's him looking for you. ”

Li Xiaoyuan raised his hand and pointed at Xu Fan, who was sitting at the other end of the sofa, at least two meters away.

Zhang Demin said suspiciously: "This is the son of the old fairy?"

“......”

Xu Fan was speechless, thinking, I don't have such a father!

"Hello President Zhang, I am a sophomore at Jiaotong University, and I came to you to ask for leave. ”

"Looking for me to take a leave of absence?"

Zhang Demin was stunned, the student asked for leave and didn't look for a teacher to come to the principal?

And it seems that the old fairy personally brought him here.

After glancing at Li Xiaowu, Zhang Demin smiled thoughtfully: "Tell me the specific reason, the old fairy is kind to my family, as long as I don't violate the school rules, I will try to help you do it." ”

At that moment, Xu Fan told the matter, and naturally he didn't take out the little red book that he didn't know whether it was true or not.

Zhang Demin couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that it was a big deal, there was nothing to hesitate, and immediately called the head of the department in front of Xu Fan.

The head of the department was shocked when he received the call, but he didn't expect Xu Fan to find the principal, and the principal was willing to come forward, it wouldn't be that he was deceived by that false testimony.

"Principal Zhang, didn't he tell you anything? If four people in a dormitory ask for leave to start a business, if this kind of precedent is set, what will happen if other students ask for leave in the future?"

I have to say that the head of the department is quite considerate of the school.

Zhang Demin was a little displeased, if he had to figure out how to do this little thing, what else would the head of the department do.

Then he said in a deep voice: "I am responsible for anything, and I will trouble you to help them deal with the procedures for asking for leave." ”

The head of the department still wanted to say something, but the phone had been hung up, he frowned, was silent for a while, and still called the counselor Zhang Yujing in person.

As for how Zhang Yujing was surprised and confused, it was not what Xu Fan cared about.

Asking for leave, it seems that asking for leave in the future should no longer be a troublesome matter, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel a lot more comfortable.

It happened to be the time for lunch, Zhang Demin strongly asked the two to eat, Li Xiaoyuan couldn't shirk it, so he had to ask for a light meal at home, and asked the old lady to cook by name.

Zhang Demin was unwilling, and it was not easy to persuade his mother to cook with a smiling face.

Xu Fan once suspected that the main reason why Li Xiaoyuan came to help him was to come over to eat justifiably.

"Senior Li, have you told Principal Zhang about cultivating immortals?" Xu Fan asked in a low voice while Zhang Demin was not in front of him, he remembered that one of the main rules in the regulations of the Immortal Cultivators Association stated that matters related to immortal cultivation were forbidden to be disclosed to mortals.

"Hehe, naturally not, he only thinks that I am a Taoist priest of Youfang, and he knows some means of curing diseases and saving people. However, there may be a little speculation, you don't have to worry too much, the rules are dead, people are alive, let some people who stand in the upper echelons of mortal society know something, it is not a thing, but it is conducive to our activities. Li Xiaoyuan gave Xu Fan a meaningful look.

Xu Fan suddenly realized that Senior Li was mentioning him when he said this.

The Immortal Cultivators Association formulated this rule in the hope that it would not spread the matter of cultivating immortals and affect the order of the world, so as long as there was no chaos, there was no need to be too careful.

For lunch, the old lady made three dishes and one soup, but she didn't deliberately target Li Xiaoyuan.

Zhang Demin accompanied Li Xiaoyuan to drink a few glasses of wine.

The latter's face was red, and under the pretense of drunkenness, he wanted to take the old lady's hand.

Zhang Demin stared at the dishes on the plate and pretended not to see it.

Xu Fan was speechless to the extreme.

After eating, Li Xiaoyuan was full of wine and food, put his hand into his clothes and rubbed it on his body for a while, and took out a black pill and handed it to the old lady.

This time, the old lady was unusual, and took the pill in surprise, even if Li Xiaoyuan took the opportunity to touch her hand, she didn't say anything.

"Thank you, thank you, old fairy. ”

Xu Fan felt sick to his stomach for a while.

Zhang Demin excitedly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Xiaoyuan on the spot.

Li Xiaoyuan calmly accepted his kowtow.

"Eating it, you can keep you healthy for at least ten years, Yinghong, hey, take good care of yourself. Little friend, let's go. ”

"The old fairy might as well stay at my house for a while and spend time with my mother. Zhang Demin said to stay.

Li Xiaoyuan turned his head: "What's the matter?

Zhang Demin's face turned red and he was silent.

"Let's go, Demin, in the future, my kindness, if you have the opportunity, it will still be on my little friend, and it can be regarded as our cause and effect. ”

Li Xiaoyuan laughed and went out.

Xu Fan followed behind, faintly feeling that Li Xiaoyuan's body seemed to be more relaxed, as if an invisible shackle had fallen off.

Cause and effect? Xu Fan seemed to have an understanding.

The two walked quickly, and when Zhang Demin chased them downstairs, they were gone.

When he came to the school gate, Li Xiaoyuan's body shone slightly, the same as before Mengdie.

"Turning a blind eye, seniors are leaving?" Xu Fan asked.

Li Xiaoyuan nodded, and suddenly looked at Xu Fan with a solemn expression: "Vulgar little friend, although your cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi Condensation, I think you should have just cultivated immortals with my Qi Observation Technique, so I want to remind you of two things." ”

"Senior, please speak. Xu Fan stood up straight.

"First, no matter what method is used to improve one's cultivation, it needs to be consolidated repeatedly and lay a good foundation, otherwise it will be very detrimental to one's future cultivation."

"Second, the main reason why we immortal cultivators stay away from the mundane is to avoid the entanglement of cause and effect, you can think of cause and effect as the shackles of cultivation, the more cause and effect, the more shackles, the greater the cause and effect, the heavier the shackles. ”

"Whether it's what you give to someone else, or what someone else does to you, as long as there is a connection, it can be called cause and effect. Especially if others are good to you, and you owe others, this kind of cause and effect is the most burdensome. For example, I ate Yinghong's cooking just now, so I gave her a pill, and the two don't owe each other. Then transfer my kindness to them to you, and in this way, the cause and effect with them for decades can be regarded as eliminated. ”

Xu Fan heard it a little foggy and vaguely understood, but it seemed that he couldn't explain it thoroughly.

However, there was one thing he understood.

"So, Senior Li, why are you throwing cause and effect at me?"
