Qi Chengshuo was speechless upon hearing this. Don't think he didn't know that these restaurants were cleaned in the morning. It was almost time for dinner, and they were still cleaning?

Uncle Nine was deliberately chasing him away.

"Then I'll go now, and I'll come to visit Uncle Jiu another day." After saying this, Qi Chengshuo bowed to Qi Jiu and Ye Miaoyun before leaving.

"That brat, he clearly has ulterior motives." Qi Jiu couldn't help but curl his lips.

“Xianya is still young, and I want to keep her for a few more years. I won’t marry her off too early. Our Xianya is not the same as before. She won’t listen to me in everything. I’m afraid her life’s major event is not up to me as her mother to decide. It mainly depends on her own decision,” Ye Miaoyun said in a low voice.

"What if Xianya wants to cultivate Taoism?" Qi Jiu reminded her.

Ye Miaoyun's face turned pale upon hearing this.

Most people who cultivate Taoism must stay in the mountains and devote themselves to cultivation. If they really enter those Taoist sects or Taiyi sects, they will hardly see their daughter. She does not want to be separated from her daughter.

"Don't rush, let's take it one step at a time," Qi Jiu said quickly when he saw her pale face.

"Mm." Ye Miaoyun nodded slightly and said no more.

...

In the market, Ye Xianya strolled around with Furong and Zhengzheng, and she had Furong buy whatever Zhengzheng wanted to eat.

At this moment, Zhengzheng was standing on Ye Xianya's shoulder, eating candied hawthorn, her little eyes squinting with laughter.

"Is it good?" Ye Xianya reached out and patted Zhengzheng's head, asking with a smile.

"It's delicious." Zhengzheng whispered in her ear, "Sister, I want to eat it every day."

Ye Xianya had instructed it to speak softly outside, so that no one would discover it could speak human language, lest it attract a crowd and make it difficult for them to escape.

"You want to eat this every day? Dream on!" Ye Xianya deliberately scared it: "Let me tell you, eating too much sweet food will easily damage your teeth. If you eat it every day, your teeth will get even worse. In the end... you will be the only golden eagle in the world with all its teeth decayed. Forget about hunting, you will even have a toothache when you drink porridge."

Zhengzheng was so startled that she forgot to eat the candied hawthorn in her hand.

Just as Ye Xianya was about to comfort it, she heard Zhengzheng say, "But sister... birds don't have teeth. I'm a spirit beast, different from others. It's fine that I have two teeth, but other golden eagles don't have teeth. Besides, I cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy and eating rare and precious herbs. I don't usually need to hunt, so it should... it should not have much of an impact!"

Ye Xianya: "..."

“Starting tomorrow, you should learn how to hunt. You are a golden eagle. If you don’t know how to hunt, your kind will laugh at you. As long as you don’t eat people or absorb the essence of people and prey, you won’t fall into the demonic path and will still be a cute little spirit beast,” Ye Xianya said with a smile.

After listening to her words, Zhengzheng thought for a while before saying, "Alright then, I'll listen to you, sister!"

Listen to your sister, there's something delicious to eat!

Although I can't eat candied hawthorns every day, it's okay to eat one every other day, right?

"Sister, when can we sell the gold and silver jewelry we brought back today?" Zhengzheng gently nudged Ye Xianya's shoulder with her small body: "I want to eat the Hundred Beast Pill."

Only by selling those things can we get money to buy medicinal herbs!

"Didn't you already eat today? Why do you want to eat it again?" This little guy really treats the Hundred Beast Pill like candy, wanting to eat it all the time.

"To be honest, sister, although the Hundred Beast Pill is made from medicinal herbs, in my eyes it is a delicacy, even more fragrant and sweeter than this candied hawthorn."

"Alright, I'll have someone help you sell it another day and get the money to buy medicinal herbs to refine the Hundred Beast Pill." Seeing its cute and obedient appearance, Ye Xianya couldn't refuse.

"Can't we sell it today?" Zhengzheng wanted to try again.

If it's sold today, wouldn't it be able to eat more Beast Pills sooner?

“Although most of your things are treasures dug out of the cave, some are stolen, and there are a lot of them. If we sell them or pawn them, it will definitely attract attention and cause unnecessary trouble.”

Ye Xianya smiled and said, "Although I'm not afraid of trouble, I don't want my cultivation to be delayed by those messy things. I'll find someone to help you sell them."

"Okay." Hearing her say that, Zhengzheng immediately stopped insisting!

Ye Xianya took Zhengzheng for a while longer before heading back to Taoyuanju. Unexpectedly, she saw Qi Chengshuo as soon as she turned around.

"Qi Chengshuo!" Ye Xianya waved her hand hurriedly.

She was just thinking of asking Qi Chengshuo to help her sell Zhengzheng's gold and silver jewelry.

Given Qi Chengshuo's status, this kind of thing could be left to the manager to handle without causing any trouble.

"Fairy Sprout." Qi Chengshuo quickened his pace and walked over.

He had been searching for her for almost half an hour, thinking he would never see her again today, and was just about to go back to Peach Blossom Residence to try his luck again.

"You've come at the right time. I have something I'd like to ask you," Ye Xianya said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead and say it." Qi Chengshuo nodded quickly.

“Zhengzheng has a lot of gold and silver jewelry. I want to sell it and turn it into silver to buy medicinal herbs to make a hundred beast pill for it. Can you help me sell it?”

“Zhengzheng…is that it?” Qi Chengshuo pointed to the little golden eagle perched on Ye Xianya’s shoulder, munching on a candied hawthorn.

"Yes." Ye Xianya nodded: "I haven't told you yet, I named it Zhengzheng. Isn't it a nice name? The way it looks when it grows up and flies in the sky is just like a kite. And since it's a female beast, I gave it this name."

"Hmm, it sounds nice. This name suits it well. Where is the item? I'll send someone to fetch it," Qi Chengshuo said with a smile.

"It's right here at the Ye family's house, on the floor in my room. It's a huge bag. I originally wanted to put it in the cupboard, but there was no room for it." Ye Xianya didn't stand on ceremony with Qi Chengshuo.

"Okay, I'll send someone to get it later. I'll sell it all for you within two days and bring you the money." Qi Chengshuo said, then paused slightly and said in a low voice, "I have something to tell you. There's a teahouse not far away. Let's go sit there for a while."

Ye Xianya nodded upon hearing this and followed Qi Chengshuo toward the teahouse.

"The dim sum in this teahouse is quite good, especially the almond shortbread and peanut shortbread. They taste excellent. I'll order some for you to try." After saying this, Qi Chengshuo ordered a pot of good tea.

After the tea and snacks were served, he said, "His Majesty summoned me to the palace today and spoke of the matter of Yunxiao Palace."

"When did he issue the decree to wipe out Yunxiao Palace?" Ye Xianya asked hurriedly.

"His Majesty said that he has already sent an edict to Xuantian Temple. The abbot of Xuantian Temple personally went to Yunxiao Palace yesterday and even tested the palace master Xie Peng. He said that Xie Peng had no aura of evil cultivators on him, and that we might have misunderstood. The Ten Great Daoist Sects have existed for a long time, and moving one of them would have far-reaching consequences. His Majesty's meaning is..."

Before Qi Chengshuo could finish speaking, Ye Xianya said, "If the imperial court is unwilling to wipe out Yunxiao Palace, then I will take matters into my own hands."
