"senior……"
Zhao Zhuo didn't dare to go in rashly. He muttered to himself, then inadvertently looked up and caught a glimpse of the calligraphy plaque. He was immediately shocked, "Brother, look!"
Fang Qianyuan looked up and saw the words "Zhuge" on the plaque, and his pupils shrank immediately.
Isn't this the Zifang that Zhao Chengxiang mentioned?!
He quickly figured something out, and with a complicated expression, he patted Zhao Zhuo on the shoulder: "Your elder brother's death was not unjust."
"He's not my eldest brother."
After Zhao Zhuo finished speaking, he suddenly knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times towards the door. "Thank you very much, senior, for helping me escape. I, Lin Zhuo, will always remember this kindness and will never forget it."
Fang Qianyuan watched from behind, a hint of relief in his eyes.
Took his mother’s surname… Junior Brother has survived this calamity in the mortal world.
"Brother, now that we have finished this matter, let's go back to the valley."
"Okay, but there's one thing. How can you remember this senior's kindness if you don't even know his name?"
"Master Xiang Jianjue, just remember this."
"I think you should go ask around. This senior is living in seclusion here, probably using a pseudonym, but it's better than having no name at all."
"Then listen to Senior Brother."
A moment later, the two brothers easily got Xiang Sheng's name from the owner of a nearby tavern. For a moment, they both fell silent.
"Brother, is this senior the one I'm thinking of?"
"The underground decisive battle has long been known throughout the cultivation world. Who dares to use that person's name?"
"Alas... Junior Brother Jian Jue's luck is truly enviable."
“…”
"Master Jian Jue, I'm so sorry."
Inside the blacksmith shop, Widow Wang apologized shyly, "I misheard and thought Brother Li..."
Halfway through her words, Widow Wang suddenly glared at Chen the blacksmith, who was standing next to her with a bruised face.
"Old Four, are you mute? Speak!"
Blacksmith Chen was pinched so hard that his teeth were bared. He said with a bitter face, "Master Jian Jue, Sister Wang really didn't mean it. It's all a misunderstanding."
Xiang Jianjue smiled gently: "Aunt Wang, Uncle Chen, it's just a small matter, let's just let it go."
"Okay, okay."
Blacksmith Chen nodded happily immediately, but was slapped on the back of his head by Widow Wang. "What's good about that? Young Master Jian Jue doesn't blame me, but I still have to drink the wine of apology. I'll go to the restaurant tonight and order a table of wine and food."
"Aunt Wang, you don't have to spend any money. It's really okay."
Xiang Jianjue quickly declined, then added, "And Aunt Wang, you can just call me Jian Jue, no need to call me Young Master."
"Then I won't be polite, Jian Jue."
Widow Wang smiled brightly and continued, "If you ask me, you wealthy families have strange names. 'Jian Jue, Jian Jue' means one sword kills everyone. It's really scary."
Xiang Jianjue smiled awkwardly, "Aunt Wang is right."
He had chosen this name as a child when he admired his master, and he hadn't thought it was strange at first. But now, after hearing what Widow Wang said, he actually felt it was a bit... childish.
However, his childhood connection with his master was all tied to this name, and it was just a thought, so he didn't want to change it.
Widow Wang was unaware of the twists and turns in Xiang Jianjue's heart, and she smiled again, "You and your sister are really alike, both very easygoing."
At this point, Widow Wang turned her gaze and landed on Li Changting: "Brother Li, I'm hosting the restaurant tonight, come early."
Li Changting, who had been ignored for a long time, perked up and glanced at Xiang Jianjue carefully. Seeing that he didn't react, he smiled and said, "Madam Wang, how can I not accept your kindness?"
"Okay, it's settled then!"
Widow Wang said, patting Xiang Jianjue again and saying, "You two siblings should come too. It's rare for our neighbors to get together."
"No problem."
Xiang Jianjue readily agreed and stood up to say goodbye.
Li Changting tried to follow Xiang Jianjue out, but when he saw that Xiang Jianjue did not refuse, he was immediately delighted and they entered the Zifang Gate together.
Wang Tuo raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Changting, then closed his eyes to rest. It was rare that he didn't stand up and start scolding, which made Li Changting feel surprised again.
Could it be that after being hacked by Widow Wang for most of the street today, this guy softened his heart and changed his mind?
It seems that I didn’t lose face in vain!
Li Changting was secretly delighted, but before he could stay happy for long, he saw Xiang Jianjue stop in front of the inner room door and turned around to say to him, "Master wants to see you."
Li Changting's expression froze for a moment, and he twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed, "No wonder you didn't say anything when I followed you back, and the black tiger was at peace."
"What else?"
Xiang Jianjue looked at Li Changting strangely. What was this old guy thinking about?
He didn't hesitate for long, raised his hand and invited you in, saying, "Go in, Master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Changting immediately straightened his back, adjusted his clothes with his hands, and strode into the door.
