Chapter 126: More Masters, More Paths
After the guests ordered dinner, they did not hang out outside for too long due to the hot weather.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the restaurant delivered five dishes and one soup, as well as four bowls of rice as promised.
The food in this restaurant is delicious home cooking. It can’t compare to the food made by Lu Mucheng himself, but it can beat more than 90% of the restaurants!
After Jiang Yunyao finished her dinner and cleared the table with Xie Yixing, she went to the balcony carrying the wine she bought in the afternoon.
Xie Yixing went to the kitchen to get two highball glasses and followed her to the balcony.
There are two lounge chairs and a small table on the balcony. The chairs are facing the window, so you can see the stars outside.
Jiang Yunyao opened the wine and poured a glass for each of them.
She lay on the chair, picked up the wine glass, shook the wine in the glass, and admired the night view outside, feeling so comfortable.
Xie Yixing lay down on another chair. Impatient, he took a big sip of wine. After tasting it, his eyes lit up, "This wine is delicious!"
"Of course! This wine has the most intense fruit aroma I've ever tasted!"
Jiang Yunyao didn’t say one more thing: The price of the wine is also very attractive!
However, considering that the money was nothing to Xie Yixing, she didn't say much.
The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the backs of the two people on the screen and smelled something unusual.
[Something's wrong! This is so wrong! Given Jiang and Xie's habits, shouldn't they be playing games at this hour?! Why would they choose to spend their romantic time drinking and gazing at the stars?!]
[From what I've seen before, I can tell you weren't watching the livestream seriously. Before dinner, Jiang Yunyao said she had something to tell Xiao Xie tonight!]
[Shit! I just realized Jiang and Xie turned off their microphones! Why is it so quiet?!]
[I feel like they didn't say anything, just drank! By the way, is this brand of wine good?]
I had the pleasure of trying it once, and my assessment is: it's delicious, but it has one drawback: it's expensive!
[Damn it, when we were paying this afternoon, Jiang Yunyao asked Xiao Xie to buy ice cream. Otherwise, I would have seen that legendary black card!]
[This bottle of wine is expensive, but it can be paid for with a regular credit card. I don't think I'll ever see Xiao Xie using a black card, right?]
[Why do you think Xiao Xie has a black card? Isn't it more likely that Mr. Xie has a black card?]
The live broadcast room started discussing the black card, while the two people on the balcony had already entered the "storytelling" session.
Jiang Yunyao was not a talkative person, but in order to make it easier for Xie Yixing to understand, she still explained in detail the relationship between her and her master and others.
"Do you remember the Taoist temple we saw in Yunhe Mountain a few days ago? It was called Qingfeng Temple, and the abbot was Taoist Qiu Wu, who is also my master!"
"Xiao Jin is not a craftsman, she is the master's first apprentice!"
"She, me, and Xiao Nuo, we are all Master's disciples. We became Masters on the same day!"
The story began with her meeting Xiaojin. At that time, she had just enrolled in university. The school was innovative and allowed students to choose their own roommates. Seeing that Xiaojin was quiet, she asked her to be her roommate.
After a week of getting along, she found that Xiao Jin was not very good at using electronic devices, especially when scanning the code to get water, Xiao Jin would stand aside and observe how others operated it.
She thought that the place where Xiaojin lived before was not very developed. In order to avoid exposing Xiaojin's scars, she tried not to mention Xiaojin's original family when chatting.
Xiao Jin had been elusive for a while, and had to go to the suburbs of Beijing to meet some clients. She was afraid that Xiao Jin would be cheated because of her part-time job, so she insisted on going with her.
Only after I went there did I realize that it was indeed a customer, but an invisible and intangible customer!
Before they left, someone came with several bodyguards and people dressed as Taoist priests.
Xiao Jin argued with them, saying that the woman was murdered and gave the detailed cause of death.
She looked at the strong man opposite her and was ready to call the police, but not long after, a female Taoist priest came.
The female Taoist priest said something to the person opposite her in private, and the person opposite her was very respectful.
The female Taoist priest settled the matter and introduced herself to them before leaving.
She said she was Taoist Priest Qiu Wu of Qingfeng Temple, and that she and Xiao Jin had a connection and wanted to take Xiao Jin as her disciple. She also said that if Xiao Jin was willing, he could go to Qingfeng Temple to find her.
At that time, Jiang Yunyao thought they were scammers. When Xiao Jin went to Qingfeng Temple to become a disciple, she was worried and followed him.
I didn't expect that he was indeed a Taoist priest! It's just that he only wanted to take Xiao Jin as his disciple, not her as his apprentice!
Jiang Yunyao still remembers that at that time her mind was full of "more masters, more paths", so she begged and pleaded with her master to accept her as well!
She thought of her master's helpless expression at that time and smiled unconsciously.
Jiang Yunyao explained the general situation to Xie Yixing, and finally said, "Master wants to see you, you don't have to be nervous, just treat Master as an ordinary elder!"
After hearing what she said, Xie Yixing agreed immediately.
His focus was on something else, "Can you tell fortunes?"
Jiang Yunyao: "...No, I learned martial arts from my master."
So strictly speaking, she is not a disciple of Qingfeng Temple, but just the master's apprentice!
Far from being disappointed, Xie Yixing sat up and looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Can I learn martial arts from Master?"
Jiang Yunyao couldn't agree on her master's behalf, so she said, "When you see the master, ask her yourself!"
Considering that all the disciples accepted by the master were girls, Jiang Yunyao gave him another shot of prevention.
"There are also Taoist priests in Qingfeng Temple whose martial arts are as good as Master's. You don't have to worship Master Qiuwu as your master!"
Xie Yixing nodded, "Then when I return, I will ask my brother to donate some money to Qingfeng Temple, and then find a powerful Taoist priest to teach me martial arts!"
Jiang Yunyao: "...They should welcome you very much!"
Taoists are not the kind of people who despise money. They do whatever they want, but they also care about material foundation. After all, it is easier to practice when you have enough food to eat!
This was what Jiang Yunyao wanted to talk about. In the half minute after she finished speaking, both of them concentrated on tasting the wine.
Xie Yixing's desire to explore is not strong, but he has a question hidden in his heart for a long time. Sometimes he feels that there is no need to ask, but occasionally when he thinks about it, he still wants to find out.
Perhaps it was the alcohol that emboldened him, but he finally spoke hesitantly, "Jiang Yunyao, why did you go on a blind date?"
Jiang Yunyao was almost married to someone else!!!
But if Jiang Yunyao hadn't gone on the blind date, she wouldn't have met the man who stood her up, and she wouldn't have gotten married with him by accident.
Every time Xie Yixing thought about this matter, he became conflicted.
"My elders are urging me to get married and have children," Jiang Yunyao watched the liquid in the wine glass sway, the beautiful deep red color streaking across the glass without leaving a trace. "My parents are afraid that when I get old, no one will take care of me!"
Xie Yixing muttered, "There's no need to get married if you're worried about no one to take care of you! You can find a professional caregiver or go to a nursing home!"
Jiang Yunyao nodded. "Then my parents changed their minds! They would rather I be alone than marry just anyone!"
Come to think of it, if she and Xie Yixing hadn't coordinated their "confessions" in advance, it would have been difficult to deceive their parents!
