Lin Xi's tone was extremely natural, she must have said the word "husband" quite often.
Fu Jingyao's lips curled up, unable to suppress it, "Hello, I'm Xixi's husband."
Master Jingyuan rolled his eyes.
The way Xixi calls out so skillfully, no wonder she tricked the little master.
Lin Xi glared at him. "Old man, are your eyes twitching?"
Master Jingyuan said angrily, "Aren't you going to introduce me?"
Lin Xi said helplessly, "He is the abbot of Yuanqing Temple, Daoist Jingyuan."
Fu Jingyao sized up the white-bearded old man.
He is older, at least sixty years old, and should be of the same generation as Xixi's master, probably a senior or junior master.
Since they are elders, we should naturally treat them well.
Fu Jingyao suppressed the corners of his mouth and became more respectful. "Master Jingyuan, hello. It's too sudden for us to meet for the first time. I didn't prepare a gift. If you have time to visit the capital, I will definitely treat you well."
Master Jingyuan's complexion improved slightly.
He's polite, handsome, and has a purple aura; so far, he seems pretty good.
But it's possible he's faking it; we'll continue to test him.
Master Jingyuan gave a haughty "hmm," his eyes scanning Fu Jingyao inch by inch like a laser pointer, filled with intense scrutiny.
"When did you get married? How could you not tell me? Such a big event as getting married, how could you not tell me?!"
Fu Jingyao understood his feelings. It was perfectly normal to be angry when you suddenly discover that your junior has married a man you don't even know.
Strange! Xixi has never mentioned that she has any elders.
Just as Fu Jingyao was about to explain, Lin Xi grabbed Master Jingyuan's beard and spoke first, "Old man, why are you angry? We got married in a hurry, it has nothing to do with him, don't be sarcastic."
Jingyuan Dao Changsheng was sulking, "You're siding with outsiders, pulling my beard for another man, my heart aches so much! It hurts!"
Lin Xi blurted out, "It's not another man, it's my husband."
Fu Jingyao raised the corners of his mouth and emphasized again, "Daoist Master, I am not just anyone, I am Xixi's husband."
Master Jingyuan completely broke down, covering his face and wailing, "Fine, I'll leave, I'll leave, okay!"
Lin Xi was speechless. "Old man, stop messing around."
Master Jingyuan sat down heavily on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes. "The children are grown up and can't be kept here. You all go, don't worry about me."
What's going on now?
Lin Xi grabbed the old man from the ground and said, "If you cause any more trouble, I'll ask Tian Lei to send you back to Yuanqing Temple."
Master Jingyuan immediately chickened out. He had just been struck on the butt by lightning, and he didn't want to be chased by it.
He snorted, "Little Grandmaster, you can't do this."
"Little Grandmaster?" Fu Jingyao was surprised. "Xixi, he called you Little Grandmaster?"
Lin Xi nodded, "I am of a higher generation than the old man. Oh, right, there's also Yun Yan, he's the old man's disciple and also my fellow Daoist."
A strong gaze fell upon him, and Yun Yan became extremely nervous, his palms sweating profusely.
I shouldn't have believed my master's nonsense and followed him to stalk my junior master.
If you continue to believe in your master, you're a pig.
Yun Yan forced a smile and said, "Hello."
Fu Jingyao nodded slightly, secretly relieved. "So you are a junior. It's our first meeting, and I didn't have time to prepare a gift. Please don't refuse this."
He pulled out the prepared check, but Yun Yan shook his head, "No, no, no, you can't accept it, take it back."
Fu Jingyao, speaking in the manner of an elder, advised, "It's nothing, just a small token of my appreciation. Buy the child more clothes, food, and toys."
Yun Yan stepped back, "No, no..."
Oh no! He's not a child!
Master Jingyuan jumped up and peeked at it secretly. His smile widened immediately. "Hehe, I'll accept it on behalf of my disciple. Thank you for your kindness."
Yun Yan was stunned. "Master, please don't do this."
Master Jingyuan winked and made faces.
He was testing whether the man was genuinely generous or just pretending, and whether he had any intention of robbing him.
Yun Yan's face was full of helplessness, "Grandmaster, Master, he..."
Lin Xi coughed lightly, "Leave it to me."
She snatched the check from Master Jingyuan's hand and stuffed it into Yunyan's hand, saying, "Here, I got it back for you. My husband was right, buy some more snacks. You've lost weight recently."
Yun Yan stood there awkwardly, as everything seemed to be developing in a strange direction.
Sigh... that's not what he meant. Please don't treat him like a little kid. Why buy him snacks? Little Master, you can have snacks yourself.
Master Jingyuan was envious. "I'm also a junior. I should call her Little Grandmaster. I want to buy some snacks."
Fu Jingyao took out a check, but Lin Xi held his hand down, saying, "The old man has bad teeth and can't eat sweets. Don't waste his money."
Master Jingyuan crossed his arms and, breathing heavily like a pufferfish, hissed, "Huff, huff, huff..."
Yun Yan couldn't stay any longer, so he dragged his master away, saying, "Grandmaster, you guys are busy, we're leaving now."
"Holy crap! Wait a minute!"
Master Jingyuan broke free from his hand and rushed straight to Fu Jingyao. He instantly became serious, his tone heavy, just like an old father.
“I watched my little grandmaster grow up, I personally prepared her milk powder and washed her diapers. Although my little grandmaster is of a higher generation, I am much older than her, and I have always treated her like my own daughter.”
"Putting aside seniority, let's stick to our own system. You have to call me Grandpa."
"If you dare to bully her, all twenty-eight disciples of Yuanqing Temple will come after you!"
“I’m worried about you suddenly marrying my junior master. You must pass my test.”
Fu Jingyao agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll accept any test."
The two locked eyes, sparks flying.
Master Jingyuan reluctantly announced, "You have passed the first test."
If Fu Jingyao doesn't agree or hesitates, it means his feelings for his junior master aren't firm enough, and such a man is not worth having.
