Even after seeing Ye Liang, they kept saying Ye Liang was slow.
While criticizing Ye Liang for being slow, she also felt sorry for him and the four children beside him, and gave them a spoiler about what they would have for lunch: "My second senior sister killed a duck for you. We're having duck for lunch today! It's a good reward for you for studying down the mountain. You've worked so hard!"
Of course, the children also found studying unpleasant, tiring, and involved fighting with others. They only went for half a day and didn't want to go anymore.
However, when faced with the junior sister saying that she had already killed a duck to reward them, she could no longer express such thoughts.
For them, the logic was simple: if there was duck meat to eat, then they had to contribute to their sect.
Reading requires effort, and even though the children are young, they understand this principle, so no one says anything discouraging like they don't want to read.
Everyone was exhausted and hungry at this moment, their stomachs were so full from climbing the mountain, they couldn't wait to eat.
However, we definitely won't be able to eat right now.
Because duck meat is relatively difficult to stew, it needs to be stewed for a while.
The junior sister then happily introduced the girl beside her to Ye Liang: "Ye Liang, let me introduce you to a beautiful girl, Song Yuxi. She's the granddaughter of one of our seniors from the Bixian Sect. Isn't she pretty? Isn't she beautiful!"
Hearing her junior sister introduce her like that, saying she was beautiful, the young girl Song Yuxi blushed deeply.
However, when facing Ye Liang, she forced herself not to lose her composure and to be courteous.
After all, she was the daughter of the Song family, with a good family background and good upbringing. At this moment, she quickly composed herself and bowed slightly with the etiquette due to a woman, greeting Ye Liang and saying, "Yu Xi greets young master!"
Ye Liang was overjoyed to see Song Yuxi again. Before coming, he was worried that they might have some unspeakable difficulties that they were unwilling to tell their sect. Now that he saw that they were still on the mountain, Ye Liang was relieved and at ease.
He then happily gestured for Song Yuxi to drop the formalities, saying, "Miss, please don't stand on ceremony. We've already met at the foot of the mountain, so there's no need for such politeness. If you have something to say, let's go back to our sect."
"Yes." Song Yuxi got up obediently, following Ye Liangzhi's every word.
After that, Ye Liang and his junior sister followed behind the four children as they descended the mountain gate and returned to their sect.
"Ye Liang, Yu Xi came up the mountain this time because she wants you to help her repair her family's ancestral weapon. Look, could you just lend a hand and help her repair it? Consider it me asking you for a favor, okay?"
Junior Sister is truly kind-hearted; she's really gone to great lengths to help the young girl, Song Yuxi. Ye Liang had just returned, and knowing that Song Yuxi was too shy to ask him for help immediately upon meeting him, she took the initiative to speak up and immediately plead with Ye Liang on Song Yuxi's behalf.
Even if Junior Sister hadn't asked, Ye Liang would have helped with this.
Besides, even the junior sister has spoken up.
Without saying a word, Ye Liang turned around and said to the girl Song Yuxi, "Do you have the sword that needs repairing with you? It's in the sword box on your back, right? Give it to me, and I'll repair it for you."
Repairing a divine weapon—such a momentous task! How could the young girl Song Yuxi believe that someone would readily agree to help her repair it without even mentioning a single condition or request?
It was as if she had encountered a benefactor from heaven.
Those who were immediately moved knelt down on the spot, their heads hitting the bluestone pavement heavily as they thanked Ye Liang.
Ye Liang immediately pulled her up and said to her, "I understand how you feel, but please don't do that again. I'm still young. I don't believe that making a young girl like you kneel down would shorten my lifespan. I'm even a little worried that I might die several years younger."
Ye Liang half-jokingly comforted Song Yuxi, and then, with the help of her junior sister Yang Ting, she helped Song Yuxi untie the ropes of the sword box, took the sword box off Song Yuxi's back, opened it, and showed Ye Liang the divine weapon heirloom of the Song family inside.
A divine weapon that appears to be in relatively good condition despite the damage.
Ye Liang picked it up and said with ease, "The damage isn't too serious. Repairing it is simple. It'll only take a moment."
As he spoke, he habitually used the repair function of his god-level account to help Song Yuxi fulfill her wish and repair the divine weapon for her.
bite!
A notification popped up, indicating that the repair of the god-level account had failed.
"Item category not recognized, cannot be repaired!"
"Hmm?" This was the first time Ye Liang had encountered such a repair failure, and he frowned in surprise.
Song Yuxi, who was clearly very concerned about the repair, became even more anxious when she saw Ye Liang frowning. She was already worried that the repair would not go smoothly.
Immediately, she asked Ye Liang with great concern, "Young Master, is the repair difficult? What do you need? Please tell me, and I will do my best to satisfy you, as long as I have it."
Song Yuxi was, after all, a young lady of the Song family. In recent years, she had been asking for favors everywhere to help her family out of their difficulties. She must have seen a lot about the coldness of human relationships and knew what it was like to be manipulated. Therefore, she thought that Ye Liang, like others, wanted to ask her for benefits and was deliberately using the difficulty of repairing the divine weapon to obstruct her. That's why she said that.
However, at this moment, Ye Liang had no time to ponder the sensitive and fragile thoughts of the young girl, Song Yuxi. His mind was entirely focused on why the first attempt to repair the divine weapon had failed.
This was highly unusual. It was the young master's first time encountering a repair failure, so he was naturally focused on understanding the current situation and didn't notice the girl beside him was extremely anxious.
