Chapter 82
Yang Yubei heard from Xu Yihe that the master seemed to have some troubles recently, but Xu Yihe did not reveal any details. However, based on Yang Yubei's observation, and the fact that Yang Hongying had frequently come to Fengxiyuan to talk to Xu Yihe recently, there must be some secrets that cannot be expressed in words.
Although Yu Yuhe is unfathomable, Yang Hongying is completely different from him. Yang Hongying is the type of person who will say anything directly and cannot hide any secrets. The thing that can make her so depressed that she can only come to Xu Yihe every day must be the Lord's matter.
As for the Lord's affairs... Yang Yubei didn't dare to make any assumptions.
In recent days, I have been tossing and turning in bed every night. When I can't sleep, I want to practice, but I can't calm down. After thinking about it, I finally came up with this idea.
"Yes, Boss Ji, both of my apprentices have received my true teachings. I can guarantee that they will never let Boss Ji down." Yang Yubei took the initiative to find Ji Mingqing and talk about his apprentices.
"They've both been apprenticed for a long time, but they've recently run into some difficulties. I'm too limited to help, so I wanted to ask Boss Ji if he could offer them a way out."
Ji Mingqing quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, don't be so harsh. I will definitely help if I can." After that, Ji Mingqing asked, "Will the two of them be willing to sign a contract with me, Fengxiyuan?"
"Of course you can." Yang Yubei was overjoyed, as if he was really a master who had finally got what he wanted after worrying about his apprentice. Ji Mingqing was a little moved when he saw this.
"Yang Yubei's disciples are so lucky to have such a good master planning for them." Ji Mingqing looked at Yang Yubei's back, which was relieved because he got what he wanted, and said with a little envy.
Bai Cangze glanced at him and said, "There's no need to be like them. I won't let you get into trouble from the beginning."
After listening to this, Jiming looked at Xiaowan with a smile, "That's true!"
After receiving the definite reply, Yang Yubei quickly contacted his two disciples with the fairy ring. The two disciples had long said that they wanted to come to Fengxi Garden. Because the master was not in Kunze Palace, the two of them had no desire to cook for others, so they had been doing nothing these days.
And yesterday, Yang Yubei said that he wanted to talk to Boss Ji about their visit to Fengxiyuan, and the two of them had been waiting for news from their master.
When Yuantaopo opened, the two of them came to Fengxiyuan once and had a meal at the Lover's Restaurant at the foot of Yuantaopo Mountain.
While eating, they were both amazed and contacted the master immediately. How could he hand in the things and teach only half of them? This new skill should not be hidden.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yubei said that this was not a new recipe he had researched, but a recipe given to him by the owner of Feng Xiyuan that could not be passed on to others. This made the two people who had been showing off their cooking skills feel itchy.
They were so excited to have the opportunity to come to Fengxi Garden this time that they didn't sleep all night and stared at the fairy ring without blinking.
"You two, it would be best if you could come to Fengxi Garden tomorrow. The boss has already agreed. After we sign the contract, I can teach you a few more tricks." Yang Yubei said on the Xianhuan side, while the two people on the other side had already stood up and paced in the room.
"Yes, Master. We will come to Fengxi Garden as quickly as possible."
After hanging up the fairy ring, the two of them hugged each other excitedly and did not say a word for a long time.
"Brother, let's go now. I can't wait any longer." The younger brother rubbed his brother's neck and said, "Su Jinglin said there's accommodation over there. We don't have to sleep under the sun..."
"Haven't we had enough of these situations?" The senior brother rubbed the junior brother's head, then gave him a light kiss on the forehead.
Just as the younger brother's ears turned red and he looked at the older brother with an angry look, the older brother continued, "Thinking back when we were in the Demon Realm, we could build a stove with just the roof and mats on the ground to provide meals for the entire team. It was nothing to just sleep outside for a night."
Junior Brother: "...You have a point, haha."
After saying that, he pushed his senior brother, and the two of them rushed to Fengxi Garden as quickly as possible and found their master Yang Yubei.
"Oh, so fast, Master is not ready yet." Yang Yubei used his spiritual energy to control the six pots in front of him. Two of the six pots were frying something up and down, one was stewing soup, and two were cooking dishes that no one knew what they were but had an attractive aroma.
Not long after, Yang Yubei brought the two men to Ji Mingqing. At this time, Ji Mingqing was still rolling up his sleeves and watering the seedlings on the ground.
"Can't I water it more at once? Do I have to water it in small cups at a time?" Ji Mingqing was rolling up his sleeves and bargaining with the kitten next to him in thin clothes.
"No, the fusion of water and wood is a good time for you to integrate various immortal energies. Don't always think about being lazy. What did you promise me just now?"
Ji Mingqing curled his lips, and once again resigned himself to scooping water from the fairy pond from the head next to him using a teacup-sized container to water the seedlings on the ground.
"Boss Ji." Yang Yubei raised his voice again and shouted towards where Ji Mingqing was, "My disciples are here."
Hearing someone calling his name, Ji Mingqing's attention was immediately diverted, and he saw two people following behind Yang Yubei.
It has to be said that there are no ugly people he has seen in the fairy world. The handsome men and beautiful women each have their own charm. It is simply a paradise for those who are obsessed with looks.
Yang Yubei's two apprentices were also handsome. Ji Mingqing looked at them and patted his clothes which had become wrinkled from bending over for a long time.
"You're here so soon. I thought it would take at least two or three days." Ji Mingqing looked at the two of them with a smile, walked from the field to the roadside, and wanted to reach out and shake hands with them, but found that his hands were covered with dust.
"This is my eldest disciple Yan Su, and this is my second disciple Chong Bing." Yang Yubei patted them both quietly, "Hurry up and say hello to Boss Ji."
Bai Cangze watched from the side, silent.
"Your master should have told you about the treatment here." Ji Mingqing didn't notice Yang Yubei's little trick and said straight to the point: "As long as you sign the contract and don't disclose the recipe, I don't have any other requirements."
"Boss Ji, don't worry. You can promise my two apprentices that they will never do such a treacherous thing." Yang Yubei said firmly. Ji Mingqing took out two prepared contract scrolls without saying a word.
"This is it. Luckily I always carry it with me." Ji Mingqing handed the scroll to the two of them. The two brothers didn't even carefully check the contents of the contract. They just waved their hands and engraved their names on the contract.
The next moment, a ray of light appeared on the contract, and it seemed that the contract was successfully signed.
Ji Mingqing collected the scroll and arranged, "You two will help Immortal Yang for a while. The inn will be completed in about a year, and we will make arrangements then."
"It just so happens that I think Immortal Yang might be too busy to handle it all by himself, so I'm looking to recruit new people." Ji Mingqing smiled brightly, "You've arrived just in time."
"There are two of us, and we would like to thank Boss Ji for giving us this opportunity." Chong Bing didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly. He actually signed the contract here. He was excited to get what he wanted.
"At that time, my senior brother and I went on a date at Yuantaopo. After trying the food in the restaurant, we were immediately amazed and wanted Master to teach us. But Master said that we would have to come to Fengxiyuan to work." Chong Bing tilted his head and looked at Yang Yubei, "Master, you have no reason not to teach me this time, right?"
Yang Yubei patted his arm and asked, "When did I not teach you?"
Ji Mingqing looked at the three masters and apprentices having so much fun together and felt a little envious. He also bent down and held Xiaowan in his arms.
He also has a family.
"Hey, your fairy beast looks cute. What's his name?" Chong Bing asked with interest, looking at the little pill in Ji Mingqing's arms.
"His name is Xiaowan. Don't be fooled by his cute appearance. In fact, he is much more capable than me. I can hug him now because he lets me." Ji Mingqing couldn't help showing off to Chong Bing, "Look at how handsome he is!"
Bai Cangze is naturally beautiful. His pure white hair reflects a faint light under the sunlight, and his blue eyes add a touch of nobility and inviolability to his temperament in the eyes of several people.
"Brother, let's raise a fairy beast together. I want a beautiful one too." Chong Bing pulled Yan Su's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Can you buy me one?"
"I don't have any money."
Just when Ji Mingqing was surprised that his senior brother was so ruthless to his junior brother in front of outsiders, he heard his next sentence.
"Aren't all my immortal stones with you? Just buy whatever you want."
Ji Mingqing: “???”
Damn! I was shown off!
Although Ji Mingqing is slow in emotions, he can feel that there is a different aura between the two people, and even their master Yang Yubei can't get through it.
Ji Mingqing was a little surprised that they were actually a real couple.
Watching the three people leave, Ji Mingqing was stunned for a long time. Bai Cangze looked at him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm envious." Ji Mingqing blurted out.
"What's there to envy?" Bai Cangze felt unhappy and patted Ji Mingqing's shoulder, "Go back and practice."
Ji Mingqing turned his head and looked at Xiaowan, "Why are you so strict? I'm just practicing!" Then he walked towards the field, saying as he walked, "When I reach the level of a spiritual immortal, I want to have a relationship too."
"No." Bai Cangze blurted out. Ji Mingqing lowered his head and looked at him, "Why are you reacting so strongly?" After saying that, he thought of something and said,
"Don't worry, even if I find a fairy partner, you are the most important in my heart." The little kitten's possessiveness was at work, and Ji Mingqing felt that he understood his thoughts.
"Let's talk about it after you reach the level of a Spiritual Immortal." Bai Cangze snorted coldly, "I don't know when that will happen."
That's true. Ji Mingqing resigned himself to his fate and took out the small cup of water and continued to water the seedlings one by one. The two of them returned to their normal state of cultivation.
On the other side, Yang Yubei, who had just left, felt a cold sweat on his back.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Chong Bing looked at his pale-faced master and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable at all." Yang Yubei turned around and found that he could no longer see Ji Mingqing's figure, so he turned around and hit Chong Bing's head hard.
"You really dare to say anything. I just didn't give you one word, and it almost caused a disaster!"
Chong Bing cried out "Ouch" and covered his head. "What's wrong? Master, I didn't say anything just now."
Yan Su also rubbed Chong Bing's forehead with heartache, then looked at Yang Yubei, hoping that Yang Yubei could give him an explanation.
Yang Yubei was so angry that he was fuming. "You dared to say that cat was pretty just now! I really am..." He almost couldn't breathe, and he became even more angry when he saw the two confused disciples opposite him.
"That's the Lord!"
"Honorable Lord?" Chong Bing's eyes widened. "Master, you can't lie to me. How could that be the Honorable Lord?"
"Why can't it be the Lord? The fact that we're here is all arranged by the Lord!"
"That's not right. I've seen the original prototype of the Lord. The original prototype of the Lord is white, with blue eyes, armor on his back, and wings on his body. How could it be possible... Holy shit!"
Chong Bing realized it later and couldn't help but swear. Isn't it! Blue eyes, white fur, hidden wings, and who would wear armor away from the battlefield!
"That's really the Lord!" Chong Bing was so nervous that his voice cracked at the last word. "Did I just touch the Lord's paw? I hope the Lord won't chop my hand off when he returns!"
Chong Bing was very frightened, and Yan Su patted his shoulder to reassure him.
"It's okay, if you want to chop it, just chop mine."
Yang Yubei hit each of them on the head again, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is the Lord that kind of person? You must not tell anyone about this. Anyway, you will know about it in your heart."
Chong Bing's Adam's apple moved, "Then, can I still touch the Lord's claws?"
Yang Yubei couldn't believe it, "Are you crazy?"
Chong Bing shuddered with fear, "Okay, okay, I get it, but how could Boss Ji hold the Lord in his arms? Doesn't he know that it's the Lord?"
"Don't worry about the Lord's affairs, but Boss Ji is easy to get along with, so you don't have to worry about anything else." Yang Yubei repeatedly warned, "You can't be so outspoken like you are at home. If you let something slip, it will be a big disaster."
Chong Bing quickly covered his mouth and nodded vigorously, "I will definitely not say anything nonsense."
Ji Mingqing, who had been practicing for a long time, had no idea how much psychological shock the new employee over there had suffered. He was lying under the shade of a tree, enjoying the supreme service given to him by Xiaowan.
"Spray some water on my arms and fan me. It's coolest when the water evaporates."
Bai Cangze resigned himself to spraying water and fanning Ji Mingqing. The water was the fairy spring water he took from his storage bag, and the wind was also a breeze he casually gathered with his fairy energy.
Ji Mingqing was unaware of this. He just felt that Xiaowan was really good to him. Although she was very strict with him during training and would not be soft-hearted no matter how much suffering he suffered, Xiaowan took good care of him during rest time.
Where can I find such a good friend!
Ji Mingqing opened his eyes and turned sideways to face Xiaowan, "I changed my mind."
Bai Cangze sat beside him, with his front paws on the ground. In this position, he lowered his head and looked at Ji Mingqing.
"What changed your mind?"
"I don't want to find a companion anymore." Ji Mingqing said, "When two people are together, they need to take care of each other, but with you taking care of me like this, I've become lazy."
Ji Mingqing looked at Xiaowan seriously and said, "I don't think anyone would be willing to take care of me like this every day, so I think it's better to think about finding a companion in the long run."
"We should have considered it in the long run." Bai Cangze felt somewhat pleased with himself after hearing Ji Mingqing's words. "I... I can't take care of everyone. You're lucky."
Ji Mingqing reached out and pulled Xiaowan into his arms. "I really am lucky." After that, Ji Mingqing asked Xiaowan, "I heard that the new recruit selection for Kunze Palace will be held next month. The Lord will also show up then. Do you want to go with me?"
"What's there to see?" Bai Cangze blurted out, "If you want to go, I can accompany you."
"Of course I want to go. I haven't seen what the Lord looks like yet. When the time comes, you can come with me and take a look. We can recognize him."
"So, you are looking for the Lord just to return to the small world?" Bai Cangze asked again.
"Of course not. If it was just to return to the small world, why would I need the Lord's help? I want the Lord to help me return to the time when I had the accident." Ji Mingqing said: "Forget it, the goal is still a long way off, so I'd better practice first."
"But we must go together to the rookie tryouts in a few days." At this point, Ji Mingqing suddenly thought, "Can we set up a stall near Kunze Palace during the rookie tryouts? If so, we can make some money that day."
Bai Cangze recalled that it seemed that it was not possible. The reason for this was... he seemed to be annoyed by the mess outside, so he prohibited these stalls from appearing near Kunze Palace except at market time.
"The rules are different every time. If you're concerned, you can go ask Xu Yihe. He's not so busy these days, so he should have plenty of time to get some information."
Indeed, after Xu Yihe and Cui Ding were promoted, they no longer had to work as waiters in the restaurant, and they even had the right to supervise others. Whenever Ji Mingqing saw them, he felt that they were full of vigor and ambition.
I guess it shouldn't be difficult for Ji Mingqing to ask them to find out some information at this time.
"Okay, then you can remember it for me and ask when you go back whether the stall will be open by then."
"You can start preparing now. After all, time is tight, and the number of people near Kunze Palace that day was thousands and thousands of times greater than the entire Fengxi Garden combined. If you wait until you get the news before preparing, you'll be caught off guard."
Bai Cangze suggested: "Even if the things you prepared are not used, you can sell them at Yuantaopo. In this way, nothing will be wasted."
Ji Mingqing clapped his hands, "You're right, let's do it! But what are we going to sell then?"
"Of course, I'm selling food. The food you make is considered delicious even in the fairy world, and it can attract other customers."
Ji Mingqing puffed out his chest proudly, "Indeed, it's true. Apart from anything else, I always cook our family's New Year's Eve dinner, and all my relatives say it's delicious."
When Ji Mingqing returned, he followed Xiaowan's advice and began to ask Yang Yubei to prepare some things suitable for selling at the stall. The few of them discussed it again. It must be said that the arrival of Chong Bing and Yan Su did make Yang Yubei more adept.
Now Yang Yubei only needs to control four pots at the same time.
A few days later, Ji Mingqing received the news.
"Are you serious? Can we set up a stall near Kunlun Palace during this year's rookie selection?" Ji Mingqing excitedly stood up from the table. "Xiao Wan, you can predict the future, right? How come you're so accurate?"
Xu Yihe looked at Bai Cangze who was being held in Ji Mingqing's arms with care, and felt a little reluctant to look at him, but he still showed a respectful expression on his face.
"That's right. We will send a notice to all the immortals in the entire immortal world tomorrow morning. Boss Ji can read the precautions carefully then."
A few days ago, the Lord suddenly had an idea and said that he would hold a market near Kunze Palace during the rookie selection day in a few days, and he also specifically stated that he would reserve a few stalls with good locations for him.
Xu Yihe knew very well that this stall was not reserved for the Lord, but for Boss Ji.
It can even be said that this time it was specially prepared for Boss Ji. In the past, the Lord never cared about these things at all, and at most he would mention it when it was annoying.
Xu Yihe once again re-evaluated Ji Mingqing's position in the Lord's heart.
"But I have a friend in Kunze Palace who is in charge of this matter, so I asked him to reserve the best location for us in advance." Xu Yihe took out a map and pointed to a circled area on the map.
"This stall is on the left side of the Kunze Palace gate. It's the closest to the Kunze Palace and has the largest area. We can just go there when the time comes."
"Wait a minute!" Ji Mingqing was incredulous. "How could this be such a coincidence? Xiaowan said the market might reopen, and I didn't expect it to actually open. And you were able to prepare a seat for me in advance..."
After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, Xu Yihe's heart began to tighten. No way, the secret wouldn't be exposed.
For a brief moment, Xu Yihe was torn between his conscience and his own desires. He had indeed cut corners this time and should have designed a few more steps.
What should I do?
Xu Yihe didn't dare to look at Bai Cangze's expression. Unexpectedly, the next moment he heard a voice like the sound of nature.
"I'm so lucky. Recruiting you was the best thing I've ever done!" Ji Mingqing excitedly stepped forward and gave Xu Yi a hug. Xu Yi's heart, which had just been relieved, was lifted up again. He froze in place, not daring to move.
Fortunately, Ji Mingqing only touched and left immediately. "How big is that stall? How much can we put out that day? How much does it cost per day? I hope no one will get jealous."
Ji Mingqing thought a lot and asked a barrage of questions. Fortunately, although Xu Yihe had prepared fewer parts, he had prepared the other parts very well, and he could answer all the questions asked by Ji Mingqing.
"The area is not big, just the size of a table that can accommodate eight people. You can put as many things as you want, as long as they do not exceed the size of the stall. The stall fee is only one spirit stone a day." After saying this, Xu Yi and Fu Zhixin came to his mind.
"We all have to thank the Lord for all this. It was the Lord who gave us the opportunity to make money. He manages every aspect of the fairy world in an orderly manner. He even personally participates in small matters like this. He is truly dedicated."
Ji Mingqing: "..."
Why are you suddenly praising the Lord again?
