His gratitude towards Rong Jiaojiao deepened even further. He thought, "I must have accumulated good karma over many lifetimes to receive such a precious disciple from Heaven."
If Rong Jiaojiao hadn't grown up now, Qing Xuanzi would have loved to pick her up and spin her around a few times.
Rong Jiaojiao was also very happy. She ran around Qing Xuanzi a few times before she could suppress her joy.
Qing Xuanzi waited until she calmed down before saying, "Alright, now tell me, are you planning to stay on the mountain or go down with your master? If you're going down, your master will have someone send you home."
Rong Jiaojiao had already decided while her master was cultivating that if the technique was helpful for her master's injuries, she would go home to visit her parents.
If it doesn't help with the injury, he will still stay by his master's side to help him treat it.
Now that the technique is working, she wants to go home. She said, "Master, you don't need me anymore to heal your injuries. I want to go home."
Rong Jiaojiao prioritized his injury, which pleased Qing Xuanzi greatly. He smiled and said, "Alright! I'm going to prepare things for leaving the mountain now. What do you want to bring back for your parents and brother?"
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "I've already prepared what I need in the treasure. However, I need to say goodbye to my junior brother Tianyou and the others. Master, I'd like to invite them here to have a meal together and say goodbye. Is that alright?"
"Of course, it's your kind intention, they will be very happy."
A hint of joy flashed in Rong Jiaojiao's eyes: "Then I'll send a message to them and tell them to come tonight."
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Okay, go and make the arrangements. Just use the cooked food I prepared earlier. Don't make it too complicated. I'll go out now."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded. In the past six months, her master had always liked to go fishing when he had nothing to do. He would cook it when he came back, and they ate some, gave some to Leng Boyun, and Rong Jiaojiao kept the rest.
Even the rabbits and pheasants in Rong Jiaojiao's little secret realm are made into various delicious cooked foods. Now, she doesn't have many of her treasured pheasants and rabbits left.
He sent a message to Leng Tianyou and Du Qingshuang, inviting them to dinner that evening, and they all replied that they would come.
Rong Jiaojiao began preparing, with soup, roasted dishes, braised dishes, fried dishes, as well as various pickles and preserved vegetables that Qing Xuanzi had made before, and various spiritual fruits, filling the table with a rich aroma.
The first to arrive was Du Qingshuang, who was carrying a pot of Snow Orchids, which were in full bloom at the time.
The flowers are as crystal clear as snowflakes, and are very beautiful.
Seeing the table full of dishes, he shoved the orchid into Rong Jiaojiao's hand and exclaimed, "Junior Sister Jiaojiao, what a wonderful day it is today! Why did you make so much delicious food?"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "You'll find out in a moment."
At this moment, the seven Leng brothers also arrived, but Leng Tianyou was holding the hand of a five-year-old boy.
The little boy immediately ran over to Rong Jiaojiao and grabbed her hand: "Junior Aunt, I'm here to freeload again!"
Rong Jiaojiao found it amusing. This child's name was He Xingzhu. He was a promising talent that Leng Zi'an had encountered in the mortal world. Some time ago, Leng Zi'an returned home injured to recuperate and brought him back with him.
After eating here once, he would always sneak over to find Rong Jiaojiao. Fortunately, Qing Xuanzi couldn't cultivate and was always thinking about food, so he was allowed to come whenever he wanted, which made him picky about food.
Rong Jiaojiao liked him very much, and felt that she was the real senior uncle in front of him.
She said with a smile, "Welcome, Xingzhu. Your martial uncle has made a lot of delicious food today. You must eat your fill, okay?"
"Okay, I won't be polite!"
When Leng Tianyou and the others saw that Rong Jiaojiao had already set out a sumptuous dinner in the yard, their eyes flashed with surprise.
"Junior Uncle, is this a farewell banquet?" Leng Tianyou asked with a smile, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Rong Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow: "Junior Nephew Tianyou is quite something, you hit the nail on the head. Master is going to the capital to serve as a steward, so I need to say goodbye to you all."
Du Qingshuang suddenly found the dishes on the table unappetizing. She said, "Junior Sister, how long are you going to be gone? Why don't you just let your master go by himself? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay on the Immortal Mountain and cultivate?"
Rong Jiaojiao said with a smile, "I haven't seen my parents and brother for many years, and I miss them very much."
After hearing this, what else could anyone say? Rong Jiaojiao pulled Du Qingshuang and said, "Alright, everyone, sit down quickly. Don't waste my afternoon's hard work."
The atmosphere then became lively.
He Xingzhu looked around but couldn't find Qing Xuanzi, so he asked, "Where did Grandmaster Uncle go?"
Rong Jiaojiao said, "Master said that if he were here, you would feel uncomfortable, so he went to Grandmaster's side."
Leng Tianlang knew that Rong Jiaojiao and the others wouldn't be gone to the mortal world for long, so he wasn't too reluctant to leave and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
They were all children, so there weren't many formalities. Once someone started eating, the others followed suit, and the courtyard was soon filled with laughter and joy.
The dinner featured a wide variety of dishes, including braised rabbit, steamed fish, fish soup, roasted rabbit, roasted fish, braised chicken feet, and various pickles and preserved vegetables. Each dish was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
"Junior Uncle, this braised pork is so delicious." Leng Tianyou picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth, and showed a satisfied expression on his face.
Rong Jiaojiao smiled slightly: "That's my master's skill. He's been thinking about making some delicious food lately."
Leng Tianze also picked up a piece and nodded, saying, "It is indeed very delicious. Your grandmaster's cooking skills are truly excellent."
Du Qingshuang praised the steamed fish, saying, "The fish is tender and the flavor is just right."
Not to be outdone, He Xingzhu picked up a piece of roasted rabbit, put it in her mouth, and said, "This roasted rabbit is also very delicious, Junior Uncle, I want to eat it again in the future."
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you like it, I'll make more in the future."
Dinner was very enjoyable; everyone ate and chatted, sharing their recent updates.
"Junior Uncle, how long will you be staying in the mortal world this time?" Leng Tianyou asked.
"The exact time is still uncertain. My master told me to accompany him to the capital. I may not be able to return until someone takes over my master's position."
Du Qingshuang also said, "Junior Sister Jiaojiao, don't forget to write to me."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "I know, I will. You all should also cultivate diligently, so that I don't surpass you."
Everyone nodded in agreement. In fact, Rong Jiaojiao had already surpassed everyone present by a great deal.
Among these people, Leng Tianyou has the highest cultivation level, and he is currently only on the verge of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Mage realm.
Leng Tianqi and Leng Tianhao have only just broken through to the Mage Realm, while the others are either at the Perfection of the Dao Realm or still in the late stage of the Dao Realm.
Rong Jiaojiao's cultivation level, as displayed, has reached the Perfection of the Dao Realm and appears poised to break through to the Mage Realm at any moment.
Du Qingshuang was also on the verge of breaking through to the Mage Realm. She patted her chest and said confidently, "I will definitely break through to the Mage Realm before you, and after you go to the mortal world for a few years and come back, I will definitely surpass you by a lot."
