How come this brother and sister appear here?
Ning Zhishui saw that both of them were stunned for a moment, then he reacted and stepped forward, smiling and nodding at them, "You are here too, is Qiao Xi feeling better?"
Zhong Qiaoxi is a few years younger than Ning Zhishui. She was always listless when Ning Zhishui saw her before, but today she was obviously more energetic.
"Well, I haven't had time to thank you properly yet." Qiao Xi grinned widely. "My brother said he would thank you formally if he had the chance. I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
She was seriously ill before and had no strength to speak, but she still remembered what Ning Zhishui looked like.
"You're welcome. It's all right now." Ning Zhishui nodded. "Where are you going?"
"My brother said he wanted to take me to eat fish," Qiao Xi said, feeling a little embarrassed. "We originally came to Xiao Chiyang Lake just to eat fish, but who knew I'd get into an accident... If I leave without eating fish, wouldn't it be all in vain?"
"That makes sense." Ning Zhishui laughed.
Zhong Qiaonan had been watching her and her sister talking, and finally spoke now, looking at Ning Chuanzhu with a smile, "I assume this fellow Daoist is Daoist Ning's brother, right? Why don't you two go together? I heard that such delicious fish won't be available for many days, and the ones in the pond are almost gone."
After saying that, he patted Zhong Qiaoxi on the head and said, "Call someone."
"Hello, Brother Ning." Zhong Qiaoxi called out embarrassedly.
Ning Chuanzhu had already heard Ning Zhishui talk about the two people from the Zhong family.
Ning Zhishui took the initiative to say this because he thought that since everyone was in the same inn, they would probably meet again, so in order to prevent his elder brother from being confused, it would be better to inform him in advance.
Here it comes in handy.
Ning Zhishui smiled, but secretly glanced at Ning Chuanzhu.
"Don't agree to go with me, brother! I don't want to get too close to them."
[I don’t know if Big Brother can understand my expression…]
"I've heard my younger sister mention you guys before. Congratulations on your recovery." Ning Chuanzhu curled the corners of his mouth and saluted the two of them. "But we have other things to do later, so we won't be together."
Ning Zhishui breathed a sigh of relief.
The Zhong siblings were a little disappointed, but they didn't force it. After saying goodbye, they went their separate ways.
Ning Chuanzhu waited until the two were out of sight before asking Ning Zhishui, "Why are you avoiding them?"
Ning Zhishui was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
[How did you figure that out, brother?]
[Was my expression that obvious? Did Zhong Qiaonan notice it too?]
[Forget it, just figure it out.]
"Can't I understand the look in your eyes?" Ning Chuanzhu asked with a smile.
Of course, he didn't tell by just looking at her eyes. As for how he knew that... I don't need to know.
Ning Zhishui let out a breath.
She didn't explain, but remained silent.
Ning Chuanzhu looked at Ning Zhishui, thoughtfully.
He sensitively discovered that his younger sister's attitude towards this person was different, not like that towards someone she met by chance.
But if it is an important person, why should we avoid him?
Thinking about his younger sister's rebirth, Ning Chuanzhu suddenly had a guess in his mind -
Could it be that this Zhong Qiaonan knew my younger sister in her previous life?
They knew each other but didn't want to continue their relationship in this life. It seemed like they had a grudge against each other... But if there really was a grudge, I wouldn't have saved Zhong Qiaoxi.
Tsk, this relationship is a bit complicated.
Ning Chuanzhu quickly avoided these twists and turns in his mind, but remained calm on the surface.
"If you don't like someone, just avoid him. If you are a little cooler, he won't find himself bored," he said.
Ning Zhishui opened his mouth and just hummed.
【It’s not that I don’t like it, actually.】
[But it's right to stay away from it a little, as the less debts of gratitude the better.]
Ning Chuanzhu raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something.
"Going back to the inn?" he asked.
"No, let's go back." Ning Zhishui said.
She wanted to go back to the sect, and soak in the jade silk on her way back.
Now that we have obtained the spiritual object, there is no need to stay here for long. It would be better for my brother to go back early to refine his spiritual power and consolidate his cultivation.
"good."
The two went to check out of the room. When Ning Chuanzhu was checking out, Ning Zhishui thought of something and sent a message to Dongfang Jing to tell her that she was leaving.
"Okay, have a safe trip. I also have to go to Cang Qingzhou for something, see you when I get back."
Ning Zhishui felt quite strange when he heard his voice transmission.
See you when you come back?
The reason why she took the initiative to tell him her whereabouts was because Dongfang Jing mentioned when they parted that he would be here for the next two days, and she felt it was polite to tell him.
But Dongfang Jing actually said he would see him again when he came back. What does this mean?
Ning Zhishui didn't reply to him. Seeing that his elder brother had already checked out, he left with him.
On their way back, both of them chose the teleportation array. Although it cost some money, it was fast and safe.
After saying goodbye to his elder brother in the teleportation hall, Ning Zhishui returned to Xianlai Sect alone.
This time when Ning Zhishui went to the foot of the mountain to give Tou Yusi a bath, he carefully chose a large area.
Fortunately, I didn’t meet that pair of “senior and junior brothers and sisters” again today.
Before returning to the sect, Ning Zhishui contacted Hua Jiaqing. She had already placed her parents in the market of Xianlai Sect, but she herself was not there for the time being. She had gone to the neighboring city to buy medicinal herbs.
He said that only the last two kinds of herbs on the list were missing, and they would be ready soon. Once they were complete, he would come back to the market.
After Ning Zhishui found out, he didn't urge her and went straight back to the sect.
"Master, look what delicious food I brought you?"
When Ning Zhishui returned, he first met Chang Yin, and then he put out all the things he had bought in Yuge City and Xiao Chiyangtan.
There were robes bought from Fisherman's Song City, some special food, and a jar of wine.
"It's hard for my disciple to still think of me."
Chang Yin's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he said with a smile, then he took the fish cake and started eating, "Hmm...it's really good."
The things were not expensive, but that was precisely why he was happy, because they were all thoughtful things.
Chang Yin has no children and his eldest disciple is not around. Now that he has received the filial piety of his younger disciple, he actually feels like he has grandchildren around him.
"No matter where I go in the future, I will remember to bring something back for my master." Ning Zhishui said with a smile.
Chang Yin was very happy, and then asked her about her gains from this trip.
Ning Zhishui picked out some things that he could say and talked about some of the things he saw and heard on the road. Chang Yin listened very attentively.
"Are you saying that the fish in Xiao Chiyang Lake have become unusually fresh and tender recently?"
When he heard this, his heart moved.
Ning Zhishui nodded. "That's right. I tried it and it was really delicious. By the way, Master, this paper bag contains grilled fish. I wonder if it will lose its taste after such a long time..."
Chang Yin opened the paper package and tasted it, then his expression changed. "If your master is not mistaken, then a spiritual creature may be born in Little Chiyang Pond."
