The adults were so engrossed in their conversation that they forgot to eat, but the children, with their mouths watering, couldn't resist coming over and looking at Ye Liang expectantly.
Ye Le reached out and gently tugged at Ye Liang's hand, hoping he would remember that they were all hungry.
Ye Liang felt Ye Le holding his hand, and immediately picked her up. He smiled and said to his senior sisters, as well as to the Song family grandfather and granddaughter, "Let's eat first. Don't keep the children waiting. They're tired and hungry from school."
With Ye Liang's reminder, no one said anything more, and they immediately started preparing for dinner together.
Song Yuxi, who was already a prospective disciple of the Bixian Sect, was a diligent young lady despite her status. She went over to help her senior sisters prepare lunch.
The fragrant stewed duck with dried vegetables is served, and just the aroma alone is enough to make the children's eyes glued to the food.
The ducks raised by the villagers at the foot of the mountain smell really good.
Even Ye Liang, a young master who was used to eating exquisite Western pastries in the Earth world, was tempted.
"Eat up. But eat slowly. The food is still hot," Ye Liang instructed them before letting the children start eating.
Children are different from adults; they get hungry easily. Ye Liang felt sorry for them, so he let them eat first.
The children immediately grabbed a piece of duck meat, put it to their mouths, and began to gnaw on it, getting their mouths greasy but not noticing.
All I know is that they ate with great relish.
Seeing the children eating so heartily, Ye Liang was already very satisfied even though he hadn't eaten yet.
Afterwards, they came over and invited the Song family grandmother and granddaughter to sit down as well, and the adults also had a simple afternoon meal together.
Now, Song Yuxi is a prospective disciple of the Bixian Sect, and she is just waiting for the initiation ceremony with Wei Wenshi this afternoon. They are practically family now, so she can talk to Wei Wenshi about anything during lunch.
When Han Feng mentioned the ruins of the burned-down houses at the foot of the mountain, her senior sisters told them about the great battle they had fought against the mountain bandits.
It was only from the words of their senior sisters that Han Feng and Song Yuxi, grandmother and granddaughter, learned for the first time that even though the Bixian Sect only had these few people left, its strength was still formidable.
Because of the expert Ye Liang.
Han Fengdu couldn't help but admire, exclaiming, "I never expected Brother Ye to not only possess such superb forging skills, but also such powerful combat immortal techniques!"
Ye Liang smiled and said, "Senior, you flatter me. I still have a lot to learn and experience to gain."
"Since my senior sisters have said so, then senior brother must be very skilled in immortal techniques. In the future, senior brother must give me more guidance on immortal techniques and combat." Song Yuxi respected Ye Liang even more. As soon as she entered the sect, she had already affectionately changed her address to Ye Liang as senior brother.
Ye Liang immediately smiled and said, "Of course. If you and Miss Wei from down the mountain hadn't joined us, I would have been the youngest junior brother in our sect. Now that you've joined, I, as your junior brother, can also be your senior brother, so I will naturally supervise your immortal skills and combat very seriously. You can rest assured about that. I will definitely be strict with you!"
“Strict is good, strict is good! Now that Yuxi is in your hands, the sect should be even stricter with her!” On this point, the elders all shared the same opinion.
That is to believe that strict teachers produce outstanding students.
"Yes, Grandma. I will definitely listen to my senior sisters and brothers and study the sect's immortal techniques and combat skills well in the future." Song Yuxi was even more sensible, knowing that at this moment, she should say something that would reassure her grandmother.
Han Fengzhen was extremely fond of her granddaughter because she was so sensible.
He reached out and patted his granddaughter's head, then his gaze fell upon the Thick Profound Sword she carried on her back. He couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that after all these years, I would see the Thick Profound Sword return to its original earthy, dark yellow color. It's even more pure in color than when I first saw it as a daughter-in-law of the Song family. This truly demonstrates Brother Ye's unparalleled forging skills."
"Grandma, is this really what our family's divine weapon looked like back then?" Song Yuxi asked her grandmother with anticipation, wondering what the Houxuan Sword looked like back then.
"Yes, back then, your grandfather risked his life several times in fierce battles, and it was only thanks to this sword that he was able to turn danger into safety. This sword is thus covered in scars. Your grandfather sought out renowned masters to repair it, but finding a master is not easy. In the end, unable to find a truly good one, he could only continue repairing it as is. Later, the Thick Profound Sword was damaged multiple times, and after each repair, it became worse than before. Now, after Brother Ye's repair, the Thick Profound Sword has a much purer color than when I first met your grandfather. It seems that when I first saw this sword, it had already been repaired by a predecessor and was no longer considered pure."
"Senior brother, did you hear that? Your skills are truly amazing!" Song Yuxi said to Ye Liang with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Ye Liang smiled faintly and said, "Now, this Thick Profound Sword is forged from pure Thick Profound Iron. The other iron added by the blacksmiths to repair it has been refined out by me, and its current quality is at its best. In the future, if this sword is damaged again, you don't need to find anyone else; just come to me, and I can continue to perfectly repair it for you. If you don't mind changing the material of your family's divine weapon, I can also help you strengthen it into a celestial weapon, like the celestial weapons of my senior sisters. Originally, their swords were Azure Profound Swords, which were the color of azure jade. After being strengthened into celestial weapons using celestial talismans, they became the golden sword they are today. If you don't mind, I can strengthen this Thick Profound Sword into a celestial weapon for you anytime."
