An Ge's expression was somewhat serious. Even among those at the top, there are varying levels of strength. It seems that this person's strength before being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao was greater than that of Lu Yan and Hu Jiu.
Could it be that a deity has come to this plane?
An Ge pursed her lips. The inn was her territory. No matter who the other party was, if they dared to cause trouble in her inn, she would definitely beat them to a pulp.
After all, she is a person with divine power.
When An Ge saw the guest who was regarded as a monstrous threat, she was stunned and froze on the spot. Thinking of her previous boastful words, she couldn't help but shrink back.
Lu Yan warily eyed the person in front of him, preparing to probe, when he sensed something amiss in the aura of the person beside him. Turning his head, he found even Old Hu frozen in place.
"you?"
"Master! What are you doing here?" An Ge came to her senses and happily tugged at Jiang Shang's sleeve. "I thought you had ascended to the Immortal Realm."
Jiang Shang saw his little apprentice and his eyes were filled with joy. "Why are you only coming back now, my little girl? Your master has been having a very hard time lately."
Lu Yan realized he'd made a blunder when he saw this scene. It turned out the old man was actually True Monarch Lingxiao? Judging from their conversation, it seemed True Monarch Lingxiao had successfully ascended to immortality?
As expected of having the help of the chosen ones, they were able to successfully ascend in any plane of the Tianxuan Continent.
As long as they're not their enemies! Lu Yan was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Shang complaining to An Ge.
"Hey, don't make false accusations. What do you mean by 'too difficult'? We've been treating you to good food and drink these past few days. Don't forget, you still owe me money."
Speaking of this, Lu Yan was furious. He was, after all, a little devil of the Tianxuan Continent, guarding the inn, yet he encountered someone who ate for free. What was even more infuriating was that he couldn't beat this freeloader.
In order to keep the old man in line, his savings have been reduced considerably lately.
Upon hearing Lu Yan's words, Jiang Shang jumped up and down, "What do you mean by 'overdue payment'? Do I have to pay for my own apprentice's shop?"
"Who knew you were actually the shopkeeper's mentor?" Lu Yan muttered. Jiang Shang had mentioned his identity before, but he thought the other party wanted to take advantage of his shopkeeper.
Everyone knows that An Ge's master is in the Tianxuan Continent. There's no reason why her master would cross dimensions alone if the shopkeeper hadn't returned.
Therefore, when Jiang Shang revealed his identity, they disliked him even more. Unexpectedly, he wasn't lying.
"It's really not our fault, shopkeeper. Who would have thought that your master had already ascended to immortality and was able to come to the inn on his own?"
After listening to their conversation, An Ge realized that it was a misunderstanding.
She didn't blame Lu Yan and the others, after all, even she didn't expect that her master, whom she thought was already in the immortal realm, would suddenly appear.
"Master, did you come down from the celestial realm? Is it possible for immortals to descend to the mortal world?"
Jiang Shang's eyes flickered for a moment, then turned to helplessness, "What immortal realm? I haven't even entered the gate."
Seeing An Ge's surprised look, Jiang Shang tapped her head in an annoyed tone, "After thinking about it, I think it's because you helped me back then. When I climbed the Heavenly Ladder, I did see the gate to the Immortal Realm."
But upon opening the door, despite possessing divine power, I was repelled. A voice from the depths told me that my path to ascension was connected to the Chosen One, and that to reach the Immortal Realm, I must bind myself to the Chosen One.
An Ge stared wide-eyed for a long time after hearing this. His master meant that only if he became a god could he enter the immortal realm.
From a certain perspective, the master and her divine servant are no different.
"I'm sorry, Master, I didn't expect things to turn out this way." An Ge felt guilty, but she didn't regret it. Given the circumstances, if she hadn't used this method, she might have lost her master.
"Don't worry, I will work hard to become a god and I will definitely not keep my master waiting for too long." So what if she's stubborn? She's been stubborn before in her past life. Even a lazy bum can rise to power.
However, her rise to power ended before it even began, with Jiang Shang saying, "What's the point of striving? Life at the inn is so good. What's the joy in being an immortal?"
"ah?"
"What do you mean? I've only been enjoying this for a short time and you already want to send me to the Heavenly Realm? From now on, you can do whatever you want. There's no need for you to suffer for my sake."
"I know your personality perfectly well; you'd rather lie down than sit. Didn't you say life is about enjoying yourself? Even if your master can't go to heaven, does that mean you're being unfilial?"
An Ge was stunned by what he said. "Of course not, I am the most filial disciple."
Jiang Shang ignored An Ge's shamelessness and said, "Then that's settled. It's all about being filial, isn't it? Maybe we'll have a lot of things to do when we get to the Heavenly Realm. We might as well enjoy this time."
Jiang Shang's words struck a chord with An Ge, which is why she has always been in a slacker state.
If it weren't for the wishes of several divine servants she carried, she might have completely given up.
"Master, after hearing what you said, I feel like my life as a salted fish is actually quite great," An Ge joked. She knew her master was just trying to comfort her and didn't want to put too much pressure on her.
Of course, she would never give up; she will continue to develop the inn at her own pace.
Lu Yan was somewhat surprised by their conversation. He secretly nudged Hu Jiu's arm and said, "Your father-in-law is quite the smooth talker, and the store manager seems to respect him a lot. Old Hu, you're quite something to have earned his approval."
Hu Jiu gave Lu Yan a "that goes without saying" look, with a smug look on his face.
“Since he’s the shopkeeper’s mentor, I’ll tear up these IOUs as a token of my respect to him.” Lu Yan took out a stack of IOUs with a smile on his face.
Those familiar with Lu Yan know that his smile is the kind of smile that comes from watching a good show.
An Ge was completely impressed by Lu Yan; this kid really started acting up as soon as the crisis was over. Lu Yan produced the IOU, seemingly intending to embarrass his master.
An Ge's understanding of Lu Yan was correct; Lu Yan did indeed have such intentions.
Lately, he's been spending money and living in fear, while also having to put up with the old man's strange temper. It wouldn't be in his nature not to retaliate.
Of course, he knew what was important and that making the old man feel a little embarrassed was not a big deal.
Jiang Shang had just taken a sip of tea when he saw a pile of IOUs and immediately spat it out.
That kid, he definitely did it on purpose!
"Isn't this a special case? Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back." Jiang Shang said frankly. Although he was penniless now, he was an immortal. If he wanted treasures, wouldn't it be easy for him to find them?
"However much money you contributed will be converted into points and given to you when you get your salary next month." Of course, An Ge wouldn't let her master pay for it; she still had a large portion of her master's savings in her spatial storage.
Lu Yan knew when to stop. He only wanted to tease Jiang Shang, and this result was an unexpected bonus.
"Hehe, then I'll thank you in advance, shopkeeper." Lu Yan grinned, showing his teeth. Points were much more useful to him than spirit stones and gold and silver.
