Chapter 208: Old Friends Reunion
Chapter 208: Old Friends Reunion
"Friendship?" Meng Jingyang sighed, "I am a useless man, and I cannot keep any friendship, no matter how great it is."
Jiang Li stopped what he was doing when he heard that. He consoled him, "How can you say that, Master? Now, Master is also a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. He is one of the best in the Jiang family. He was promoted to the deputy captain of the monster hunting team a few days ago."
"Why don't we just live our own lives instead of comparing ourselves to that evildoer?"
Meng Jingyang's expression changed, and he sighed again: "I didn't tell you clearly before, my promotion was mostly because of Ye Yunqi's face."
Then he talked about what happened during the beast tide.
"...Since I have some reputation with Ye Yunqi, the captain of the monster hunting team promoted me. But what you said is right. We just need to live our own lives. There are not so many geniuses in the world."
Meng Yangyang let out a long sigh, "How many geniuses like Ye Yunqi, who came from a humble background and became famous in the Sanqing Sect, can there be? I would be a good place to stay in the Jiang family!"
Jiang Li was relieved to see that Meng Jingyang had let it go.
Ye Yunqi rode the wind straight up, and thus gradually drifted away from them, but no matter what, there was still some friendship between them.
If you know how to cherish, you can also take advantage of others. You don't seek to be rich and powerful, but just to get the corresponding treatment. When others want to criticize, treat or bully you, you should also be cautious in your heart.
This is enough to maintain peace.
Jiang Li could not embark on the path to immortality, so he did not feel any envy, jealousy or hatred towards Ye Yunqi, only respect and admiration.
"Master is a smart man, but I am the one who talks too much." Jiang Li smiled and flattered Meng Jingyang, then said, "I recently learned to pickle some New Year's goods from the aunt next door. You can take some to give to Master Ye."
Having said that, Jiang Li stood up and went to prepare.
Although Meng Jingyang had let it go and was ready to go, his face turned red when he heard the words and he muttered, "What's so good about these ordinary things?"
Jiang Li said dissatisfiedly: "I pickled it myself, it's not expensive, but if you give expensive things to Ye Xianchang, it's not worth it. The gift is small but the sentiment is great! Ye Xianchang's concubines are also many ordinary people like me, so they are naturally practical."
"If you feel embarrassed, just say I gave it to you. After all, I used to have a friendship with Ye Xianchang."
Meng Jingyang thought it made sense and nodded, "Then you bring it here and I'll deliver it. You and I are one family, why should we separate you and me? Besides, your friendship back then..."
Meng Jingyang paused and snorted, "He is definitely not as good as me and Ye Xianchang. I'm afraid he is not even as good as the child. After all, he took care of me for a few days!"
Jiang Li stopped being stubborn with Meng Jingyang and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes. Here, I've got the things. Please say hello to Immortal Ye, Immortal Qing, and Immortal Zi for me."
"Okay." Meng Jingyang put the things in the storage bag.
After walking out of the courtyard and preparing to leave, he thought for a moment and turned back to the interior of the Jiang family.
Meng Jingyang told the captain of the monster hunting team that she was going to visit Ye Yunqi and take back the Jiang family's ancestral jade pendant.
The captain was shocked. Either of these two things was a big deal.
Immortal Ye has already surpassed the Jiang family, and he has the magical water as a huge source of wealth.
How can we treat it lightly?
What's more, the Jiang family's ancestral jade pendant alone is worth an elder position. Whoever can hold this jade pendant can surely become an elder of the Jiang family.
The captain sighed and realized that he really couldn't interfere in this matter, so he had to report it.
Soon, Meng Jingyang arrived at the core area of the Jiang family, waiting to be summoned by the elders and the head of the family.
Jiang Zhiping and Jiang Yude hurried over.
"Mr. Meng, how are you these days?" Jiang Zhiping imitated Jiang Yucheng's behavior. This young head of the family still had a bit of childishness on his face, but he also learned to act like an old man.
"Thanks to the Jiang family, everything has been fine lately." Meng Jingyang replied.
After all, Jiang Zhiping didn't have much to deal with, so he nodded and looked at Jiang Yude.
Jiang Yude was already familiar with the situation and said with a smile, "Meng Keqing has been in our Jiang family for a long time. During this period, he has made great contributions to our Jiang family. However, our Jiang family has been busy recently and has no time to take care of Meng Keqing. It is our Jiang family that has neglected him. We apologize in advance."
Meng Jingyang even said he didn't dare.
Afterwards, Jiang Yude took the opportunity to raise Meng Jingyang's treatment again.
Although he has not reached the level of a guest elder, he is second only to an elder.
In the Jiang family, only some elders who have worked hard, are talented, or are highly respected will receive such treatment.
Meng Jingyang was delighted, thinking that what he did was really useful.
Then he was suddenly stunned. Ye Yunqi only told himself about the matter of the ancestral jade pendant and did not tell the Jiang family.
Does it also mean taking care of yourself and elevating your status?
Although this matter cannot be regarded as returning the ancestral jade pendant to the Jiang family, after all, Jiang Qingzi is also Jiang and an elder of the Jiang family.
But after all, she married Ye Yunqi and lived in Sanqing Sect, which inevitably made everyone in the Jiang family feel worried.
Even so, who would dare to go to the Sanqing Sect to ask for things?
Ye Yunqi sent a message to me, asking me to fetch the ancestral jade pendant, which calmed the Jiang family and actually returned the jade pendant to the Jiang family. This was a great favor to the Jiang family and a great achievement.
After thinking about it carefully, Meng Yangyang felt warm in his heart, and he felt ashamed for his previous unbalanced mentality.
The joy of being promoted by Jiang Yude also faded, and he bowed and said, "Thank you Jiang family for your care."
Seeing Meng Jingyang's indifferent expression, Jiang Yude was also slightly stunned, thinking in his heart: He is not surprised by honor or disgrace, how can this boy have such a temperament? We have always only paid attention to Qingzi and Yunqi, two proud sons of heaven, but ignored Meng Jingyang. The three of them came from the same sect, and they supported each other and ran on the right path. Their temperament and qualifications are naturally extraordinary. Although Meng Jingyang is inferior, how can the Jiang family keep those geniuses? Now that Ye Yunqi and Jiang Qingzi have transcended and left, we should pay more attention to protecting Meng Jingyang, not to mention that he has a better friendship with the other two!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yude's smile widened.
"This is a serious matter, and I am so honored to send you off. What do you think, Mr. Meng?"
Meng Jingyang bowed and naturally did not refuse.
Soon, Meng Jingyang and Jiang Yude left the Jiang family in a carriage.
Before leaving, Jiang Yude spent a brief time with Jiang Zhiping and seemed to have explained something to her.
Meng Jingyang didn't know, but when he saw Jiang Zhiping nodded to him with a smile and said something like "If you don't understand anything about cultivation, you can come and ask me", he knew that Jiang Yude was also emphasizing his importance.
The carriage traveled smoothly all the way to Longmen Town.
Jiang Yude got out of the car, put his hands on the frame and said, "I will wait here for Meng Keqing to come back."
Meng Jingyang asked, "Will Elder Yude not go with me?"
Jiang Yude smiled and shook his head: "I am not invited, why bother to come here? Sanqing Sect is not a place where outsiders can enter without permission."
Then he looked at the coachman and said, "Go quickly, don't let Elder Yunqi wait anxiously."
The coachman was naturally also a member of the Jiang family. He nodded immediately with a solemn expression, as if he was going to pay homage to something.
After all, that is the Sanqing Sect, the holy land and immortal sect in the eyes of everyone in the Sanqing Sect.
When we arrived at Sanqing Sect, the carriage was guided to a valley near the mountain gate for a rest.
Meng Jingyang was led to where Ye Yunqi was.
During this period of time, Ye Yunqi had already made arrangements with Aniu and Lin Xiao.
The two of them stopped accepting the task, hurried over and waited for Meng Jingyang to arrive.
In the yard, Ah Niu was standing aside and pacing back and forth. Lin Xiao said impatiently, "Ah Niu, sit down." Ah Niu sighed, "I'm so anxious. Why hasn't Meng Jingyang come yet?"
Ye Yunqi consoled him, "It's almost there, it's almost there. I received a message from Meng Jingyang earlier, and she is already here in a carriage."
Ah Niu was stunned: "Carriage? Oh, oh, he can only take a carriage."
Jiang Qingzi burst out laughing: "Aniu, look at you, can't you only ride in a carriage?"
Ah Niu smiled and scratched his head: "Qing... Senior Sister Jiang, although I haven't achieved the foundation building stage, I saw that you all have. For a moment, I thought that you all have achieved the foundation building stage and can fly with swords."
As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door and a message came from the formation.
Ye Yunqi said, "Stop talking about it. People are here. Don't say it in front of them."
Then he stood up and headed for the front door.
Ah Niu snorted and said, "It's not up to you to say it. What's wrong with me? I haven't established my foundation yet. It's not like you're making fun of Meng Jingyang."
Lin Xiao patted Ah Niu in dissatisfaction: "Look at you, you are so proud. But speaking of this matter, I also took advantage of you. After the party is over, we will work hard to save up some foundation-building pills for you."
Ah Niu said stupidly, "Brother Lin, who are we following? No rush, I'm still young. One or two years, just take it slow."
Jiang Qingzi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "Aniu is right. Although I am not running around outside, I heard from Lao... Yunqi that things are happening a lot now and there are too many dangers outside. It is better to take a rest and wait until everything is peaceful before working hard. There is no rush."
As he was speaking, Meng Jingyang followed Ye Yun and walked in.
He was holding a bunch of pickled goods in his hand.
"Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Aniu, Senior Sister Jiang." Meng Jingyang greeted them one by one.
Ah Niu was a little puzzled: "What are you carrying?"
Meng Jingyang smiled and said, "Some pickled food."
"I know it's pickled food. Did you bring this with you to eat with wine?"
Meng Jingyang: "Hey, my wife, when she knew I was coming to visit Senior Sister Jiang and Master Ye, she specifically asked me to bring the child. She said that she had asked them to take care of her children before. I couldn't refuse, so I had to bring the child. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
I told Ye Yunqi about this at the door.
The gift may be small but the sentiment is great. Ye Yunqi felt happy about this.
It was worth it that he went through the beast tide and the demon cultivators to save Meng Jingyang.
Ye Yunqi didn't say anything and didn't ask for repayment, but it would be different if the other party had this attitude or not.
Jiang Qingzi stood up and took it, smiling, "Thank goodness my sister still remembered. After all, we are sisters from the same family. Isn't her child my niece? What's the big deal about taking care of her for a few days?"
Then he praised the pickled food in his hand, saying something about how clever he was, and then put the things away in a serious manner.
"Okay, let's start the banquet." Ye Yunqi clapped his hands.
The three maids in the house took turns bringing the dishes.
Yueyue, Jiaojiao, Lihua and the other two have a different status from the others.
The rest were concubines, and they were not supposed to see outsiders, so they did not come out.
But Jiang Qingzi is also a foundation-building cultivator, and he has a fellow-scholar relationship with them, so a gathering is naturally necessary.
Therefore, the task of serving the dishes fell on these three maids.
Ah Niu sat next to Meng Jingyang and patted Meng Jingyang on the shoulder: "Now we are the only two who haven't built the foundation yet. Come, have a drink."
When she saw Ah Niu, Meng Jingyang actually felt much better.
It's impossible that all the people are geniuses and you are the only mediocre one, right?
Now that Ah Niu has not yet established his foundation, the two of them feel close to each other invisibly.
Meng Jingyang raised his glass and said with a smile: "But Senior Brother Aniu is a senior disciple of the Sanqing Sect, and the foundation-building process is just around the corner."
Aniu also thought so in his heart. After all, he had a goal and a plan.
He and Lin Xiao supported each other, and he helped Lin Xiao to the foundation-building stage.
The next step is to lead Aniu.
But although Ah Niu is simple-minded, he is not stupid, and he will not offend others casually.
He just said, "Hey, the foundation-building thing is hard to predict. You might have built your foundation before me."
Meng Jingyang drank in silence.
Compared with this group of people, his foundation building was the most difficult.
Just the spirit stones alone would cost five or six thousand.
There is no way to earn any contribution to the sect.
Jiang Qingzi felt a little bit reluctant, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.
Aniu and Lin Xiao were both busy with their own affairs and had nothing to say.
Ye Yunqi hesitated for a moment and couldn't make a promise easily.
Laying the foundation is a big deal, and this stage is like ascending to heaven.
Ye Yunqi just said: "Brother Meng, just work hard. There will always be a way out. You still have a group of brothers like us. When the time comes, we can all work together to think of a solution."
Ye Yunqi wanted to help, but he couldn't just feed the food to his mouth.
Ultimately, it all depends on your own efforts.
One must help oneself first before one can ask for help from others.
Meng Jingyang was not ignorant. Hearing this, he smiled and raised his wine glass: "Brother Ye, I know that. I am also working very hard now. When I build my foundation, I will definitely set up a banquet to entertain all of you brothers. I hope you can give me some face and come to the banquet."
Everyone agreed with a smile and continued eating and drinking.
Meng Jingyang also felt relieved, as Ye Yunqi had already shown his willingness to help.
He had known Ye Yunqi for quite a long time and knew that Ye Yunqi was not a person who would speak casually, but when he spoke, he usually meant it and would acknowledge it.
When he was in the Demon Sect in the past, Ye Yunqi was the most compassionate and his wives and concubines had the best life.
With Ye Yunqi's help, Meng Jingyang no longer believed that he would not be able to build the foundation by relying on his own efforts and the help of others!
Aniu and Lin Xiao also agreed with Ye Yunqi's words. After all, they had received help from Ye Yunqi in making the Foundation Establishment Pill.
