Chapter 83 Letting Go
The Seventh Young Master guessed half right—the Madam did cry.
He looked at the dim-eyed Seventh Young Master in the distance and sighed inwardly, then whispered to his wife, "Why do you have to do this?"
These two people were so awkward that even Zheng Fa felt conflicted.
A man entered the Qingmu Sect, and he kept complaining about everything, but in fact, what made him happiest was that he had made his mother proud, and what he expected most was his mother to praise him.
One of them didn't know how long she had been crying with her son on her back. Her eyes were now red, but when her son came to her, she didn't dare to look him in the face.
It can be seen that they are biological children.
The lady was stunned, smiled sheepishly, and said softly: "...It's so embarrassing for a mother to cry in front of her son."
Perhaps it was because Zheng Fa's identity after entering Jiushan Sect was different from usual, or perhaps he had already seen through it, the lady was a little frank: "I was holding back at first, but when I saw that silly boy, I felt like crying again."
No matter how well Zheng Fa performs at the Xianpin Club, he would not let his wife rush to please him at this time.
It was simply that the relationship between the mother and the son was awkward, and the lady was looking for an excuse to avoid expressing her true feelings which she could not help but reveal.
"But it's true that I want to curry your favor." It seemed that after saying the most embarrassing thing, the lady was much more relaxed and at ease: "Even Master Zhang said that you have the best talent in talisman magic in ten thousand years. When you join the Hundred Immortals Alliance in the future, this silly boy might even need to borrow some of your power."
"The Seventh Young Master is intelligent and sincere to others, and he is living a good life in the Qingmu Sect."
"He is a little clever, but too stupid in dealing with people..." When complaining about her own son, the lady spoke with more sincerity: "If he had bad intentions, I would be relieved. But this man is soft-hearted and foul-mouthed. He doesn't have the courage to be a villain, and he doesn't have the brains to be a good person. How do you think he will live in the Hundred Immortals League in the future?"
“…”
Zheng Fa really couldn't refute this.
"Some words... just think that I, as a mother, am shameless. I don't ask anything else from you. I just ask that if he offends someone in the future and encounters a life-and-death disaster, you remember the kindness I showed him today. I will be willing to die a thousand times in return."
Zheng Fa could feel that with the end of the Fairy Products Conference, the lady had lowered her posture in front of him, and her eyes were full of trepidation when she said this.
He thought for a moment and said, "I have a request."
"I know that as long as my Zhao family exists and I am still here, not a hair of your mother and your sister will be lost."
The lady promised.
"Oh, that's two requirements."
"ah?"
"Turn around and praise the Seventh Young Master." Zheng Fa said.
“…”
…
Sun Daoyu left Zhao's house with a frown on his brow, feeling a little depressed.
It doesn’t really matter whether they lose the bet or not - how many times have they lost to Senior Sister Zhang?
But Zheng Fa's appearance really made him worried.
It’s hard enough to handle just one Senior Sister Zhang.
Another Zheng Fa who was the best in talisman magic? It was hard for Sun Daoyu not to worry about the future of their school.
It was not until he returned to the Chen family and saw Zhou Qianyuan waiting for him that he felt a little relieved - although Zheng Fa had a strong talent in the way of talismans, Zhou Qianyuan was not bad either! Apart from anything else, a single spiritual root plus a Gengjin Dao body was considered a top talent in the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
After entering Jiushan Sect, with a little training, he can establish a sect for his master and support his fellow brothers!
"Junior brother, don't be depressed. Today you just lost to Zheng Fa in the talisman test. When you enter the Jiushan Sect in the future, his talent in talisman will not be as real as your spiritual roots and body."
He saw Zhou Qianyuan frowning, thinking that he was still unwilling to accept his loss to Zheng Fa, and hurried to comfort Zhou Qianyuan.
"I'm not depressed." Zhou Qianyuan glanced at him and said, "If I lose, I lose. I, Zhou Qianyuan, am not someone who can't afford to lose."
"Good!" Hearing him say that, Sun Daoyu immediately became happy: "My master and I were originally worried that you would be too successful and arrogant, and not understand the truth that there are always people better than you. I didn't expect that you can let go of things so easily. It's really impressive!"
He was extremely happy in his heart. Just like what the master said, Junior Brother Zhou had such a character, which was much more important than a foundation-building method.
Zhou Qianyuan's character and talent made Sun Daoyu have higher expectations of him.
"Don't worry, once you enter Jiushan Sect, Master will definitely teach you everything he knows, and even us senior brothers will do our best to help you! In the future, let alone Zheng Fa, you will definitely be able to keep up with Senior Sister Zhang!"
"Help me as much as you can?" Zhou Qianyuan's eyes lit up: "Junior brother is having a difficult time!"
"What's the matter?" Sun Daoyu patted his chest and said, "Brother, I will help you if I can!"
"When I first met Senior Brother Zheng, my attitude was a bit rude..." Zhou Qianyuan smiled: "Senior Brother, do you know what Senior Brother Zheng likes? I'll go and apologize."
"…Who is Senior Brother Zheng?"
"Brother Zheng Fa Zheng! I heard that he is not only gifted in the art of talismans, but is also good at teaching people. Brother, you also know that I like the art of talismans, and I admire Brother Zheng."
Sun Daoyu's face turned green. He knew that this junior fellow was a little obsessed with the art of talismans and valued it even more than cultivation, otherwise he would not have participated in the assessment of the art of talismans even though he was at the beginner level.
"... Don't you know that Zheng Fa is Sister Zhang's man?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
“Yes.”
"Don't you know that Senior Sister Zhang's master and our master don't get along?"
"Know."
"Then you are going to..."
Sun Daoyu felt a little devastated. My master and I both hoped that you would become a peerless genius and bring honor to our school of disciples, but instead you went to apologize to your opponent?
Zhou Qianyuan frowned: "Brother, didn't you say that I can let go of things? Shouldn't I let go of this sectarianism?"
"...Junior brother, you don't have to listen to everything my brother teaches you."
…
Zheng Fa didn't know that Sun Daoyu was having a headache trying to straighten out his junior brother who had gone astray, and he was now receiving instruction from Senior Sister Zhang.
Senior Sister Zhang said to him, "Take out the token."
Zheng Fa took out the black token and handed it to Senior Sister Zhang. She nodded while holding the token: "Do you know how to use this thing?"
Zheng Fa shook his head blankly.
"It's a signpost. Three days from now you will be initiated, and a ship will come to pick you up. But you have to light this thing first, and then the ship will come to find you."
"How do I light it up?"
"For money."
“……”This simple and unexpected answer left Zheng Fa speechless.
"One hundred taels of silver, or ten taels of gold...it will light up automatically." Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him indifferently, with a smile in her eyes.
That's a lot of money.
"Is the Jiushan Sect so short of money?" Zheng Fa couldn't help but ask.
He found it hard to understand why the Immortal Sect needed gold and silver? "This money is not for the Jiushan Sect, but for the disciples who came to pick you up. It is equivalent to running errands - well, the lower-level disciples also use gold and silver. After all, most cultivators have relatives and families, and they may have to return to the secular world in the future."
...a little disillusioned.
Senior Sister Zhang continued, "Let me remind you again, bring as much money as you can..."
