Li Mingke choked on a piece of white jade melon and vomited it out while choking on it.
Li Pinyue sprayed a small portion of the table with a "poof" sound, then coughed while clutching her chest.
"Master, Master, Master and Lin Banjian?"
Why is her master mentioned so often by storytellers? Are these storytellers making money by making up stories about her master?
Li Pinyue wiped her mouth and called over a servant to bring another table of fruits.
"No rush, let's listen first."
In fact, Li Pinyue was also very curious about how these storytellers evaluated Jinyun Immortal and Lin Banjian.
The storyteller snapped his folding fan open and waved it in front of his chest, moving his feet to interact with the audience.
"Although Fairy Banjian has married the Demon Lord, she is still Immortal Venerable Jinyun's white moonlight. She and the Immortal Venerable are engaged, and their separation is actually due to their own hardships!"
Oh, this beginning is from a really long time ago.
Li Mingke propped his head up with his hand.
"Actually, it was Immortal Venerable Jinyun who sent Fairy Half-Seeing to the Demon Lord's side!"
The Demon Lord possesses a treasure that the Celestial Lord needs, otherwise he cannot ascend! However, this treasure can only be obtained by someone close to him. Thus, the Fairy Half-Seeing infiltrated the Demon Lord's side for her fiancé, feigning marriage with him, all in order to obtain this treasure!
Unexpectedly, just as things were about to succeed, the Demon Lord saw through the true thoughts of those around him! In a fit of rage, he pierced the heart of the Half-Seeing Fairy with a sword, and because he had killed someone, he lost his qualification to ascend!
Thus, the Half-Sword Fairy met a tragic end, and the Immortal Venerable Jinyun, failing to obtain the treasure, was unable to ascend!
Both Li Mingke and Li Pinyue experienced a mental breakdown.
Wait, why is there another version?
That's not what you said last time!
So what exactly is going on with these three people?
The audience erupted in cheers.
"So that's how it is!"
"No wonder!"
"That's really unexpected!"
Li Mingke: No, folks, this is clearly nonsense, how can you believe it!
She really wanted to smash open everyone's skulls and see what was inside.
"After the death of Fairy Half-Seeing, the Immortal Venerable and the Demon Venerable were searching for her reincarnation, and there was only one reason for it!"
The Celestial Venerable is searching for his fiancée who died for him, while the Demon Venerable is seeking revenge for his inability to ascend to immortality!
Li Mingke: Haha?
He watched as the audience below nodded in sudden understanding.
Li Mingke almost bit off a piece of his lower lip.
"Now, the reincarnation of Fairy Banjian has finally been found by the two of them! When the Demon Lord saw her, he immediately wanted to kill her, shouting, 'I want to avenge the fact that I was unable to ascend back then!' But Immortal Venerable Jinyun happened to appear, saved the fairy, and took her as his disciple."
And so, the two engaged in another great battle! The scene was truly spectacular—the heavens and earth seemed to collapse, mountains to shift, seas to overflow, sand and stones to fly, and the sky to darken! They fought for eighty-one days, yet neither could gain the upper hand!
"..."
"Moon, let's go!"
No, there are too many things to complain about, so much so that I don't even know where to begin.
"Finally, it was clear that Immortal Venerable Jinyun had the upper hand, utterly defeating the Demon Lord! The Demon Lord slunk back to his demon lair, while the Immortal Venerable and his fairy enjoyed a carefree life!"
So this person took money from Immortal Venerable Jinyun, right?
It must be! It's definitely true!
"Ever since the Immortal Venerable took the Fairy as his disciple, he has doted on her and obeyed her every word! He buys things for her without even blinking an eye!"
The fairy said she liked fried cakes sold on a certain snack street, so the immortal carried that person and the snack cart back to the First Line of Heaven. The fairy then lived a good life where she could eat fried cakes three times a day!
No wonder the Celestial Venerable dotes on the Fairy! To show his affection for her, he personally learned how to make fried cakes, which moved the Fairy deeply, bringing tears to her eyes as she ate them!
Li Mingke's mouth dropped open.
Li Pinyue was holding her stomach and laughing so hard she couldn't breathe.
"The Immortal Venerable of Jinyun is making fried dough cakes! Hahahaha—"
Even with her rich imagination, Li Pinyue couldn't picture what the Immortal Venerable Jinyun's fried dough cakes looked like.
She didn't care about her image, laughing as she patted Li Mingke on the back, "Sister, if you hadn't gone back to the Li family and had stayed in Yixiantian instead, you would have been able to eat the fried cakes from Jinyun Xian Village! It's such a pity you didn't get to benefit from Lin Banjian's fame!"
Li Pinyue imagined the scene of Immortal Venerable Jinyun frying fried cakes, busy as bees, while his two disciples squatted down beside him, scrambling to eat them, and laughed even louder.
Just now, Li Mingke was wondering if this person had taken money from the Immortal Venerable, but now she thinks he must have taken money from the Demon Venerable.
Could it be that both sides spent money to smear the other side?
She was still thinking that if the storyteller's tale was so outrageous, wouldn't the audience get angry and kick him out?
When she looked down, she saw that the audience was all nodding and swaying excitedly.
"The Immortal Lord truly dotes on his wife!"
"I wish I had such a good husband!"
"You old fool, why aren't you learning anything!"
"You're talking about me? Look at what that fairy looks like, and what do you look like? Go look in the mirror!"
Li Mingke mechanically turned his head, "Yue'er, does Pengzhou still have a future?"
Li Pinyue suppressed a laugh, "It's just for everyone's entertainment, don't take it so seriously!"
On stage, they were still talking about the daily life of Immortal Venerable Jinyun in pampering his wife.
Including but not limited to:
The immortal lord only served meat dumplings to the fairy, not vegetarian ones.
The Celestial Venerable specially made a pure gold robe for the fairy.
The fairy liked to drink tea made with orange peels, so the immortal deity specially dug a pool and put orange peels in it so that the fairy could sit by the pool and scoop them out to drink!
Li Mingke couldn't listen to it anymore.
Just as the two were about to leave, An Xuan chased after them.
"My lords, why are you leaving so soon? The storytelling isn't over yet. Is there something you're not satisfied with?"
She blushed with anxiety, fearing that she had failed to serve him properly.
"No, it's not your problem, we just wanted to get out for a walk."
The content was so explosive that she simply couldn't handle it.
Before leaving, Li Mingke gave An Xuan a thumbs up.
Boss, you did a great job!
No wonder your business is so successful!
Even outside Qing'an Tower, there was still a large group of people peering through the cracks in the door, trying to listen!
Li Mingke took a deep breath.
"The leisure life of the people of Pengzhou is so rich, hehehehe..."
Li Pinyue tried hard to suppress her laughter, "Isn't it good to have a little entertainment?"
Yeah, who cares if it's true or not, being happy is the most important thing!
The two played until dark, and when it was time to go back, Li Mingke suddenly remembered her grandfather's instructions to her.
"Oh no, sesame balls! I haven't bought sesame balls yet!"
The two exchanged a glance and hurried toward the auntie who sold sesame dumplings.
When the two arrived, the woman was packing up her things and was about to close up shop.
"Auntie, do you still have any sesame dumplings?"
"No, they're all sold out!" The auntie packed up without slowing down.
"Auntie, we'd like to buy some, could you cook a few more?"
The woman straightened up, glanced at the two of them, and then went back to her work. "No, can't you see I've already packed up? It's too much trouble to start a fire. Come back tomorrow!"
No, Grandpa specifically asked me to bring back sesame dumplings. He might get angry if I don't!
He's quite pitiful, always holed up in the mountains. We can't just not grant him his wish to eat sesame dumplings, can we?
"Auntie, is it really impossible to do this anymore?"
"cannot!"
"real?"
"I've already said no, what else do you want..."
She got stuck.
Because a golden ingot was shining in front of her eyes.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"How many do you want, girls? It'll be quick to start a fire and ready in no time!"
The auntie quickly set the pot up again.
How many more can we make?
"I could easily make ten!"
"Ten then!"
These are the sesame dumplings that Grandpa has been longing for. He should be able to eat ten of them... right?
As soon as Yue'er got home, she was called away, so Li Mingke had to go back alone with a big bag of still-warm sesame dumplings.
"Grandpa, I've bought the sesame dumplings you wanted!"
The door wasn't locked, so she pushed it open and went inside.
The room was dimly lit, with only a nearly burnt-out candle on the table.
Grandpa isn't here?
The candlelight illuminated the books on the table.
What book was Grandpa reading just now?
She put the sesame dumplings aside and then looked at the book lying flat on the table.
The only two pages that are visible are filled with dense text.
She intended to just glance at it briefly and leave, but suddenly she made a huge discovery.
Wait a minute, although the paper is covered with writing and seems to contain a lot of information, it is very difficult to read. Under the candlelight, some words show a different color.
She wanted to get closer.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.
"Mingke, what are you doing?"
