Father Zhang was overjoyed. This was truly like someone delivering a pillow whenever he was sleepy. Regardless of whether this was true or not, he would first take people to investigate Su Nian and make her embarrassed first!
"Okay, go ahead. Be sure to collect evidence," Father Zhang pointed at another person. "You go too. Whatever you find, expose it to her first!"
Father Zhang knew very well that even if Su Nian really found something from the ruins of the ancient city, it would be difficult to convict her. The country had not yet developed that place. Not to mention Su Nian, many local people had taken the pots and pans there.
So although people are encouraged to report this kind of behavior, there are no effective punishment measures. The most they can do is to hand over the things.
So he didn't care about anything and had the matter exposed, hoping to make a big deal out of it.
Su Nian and Chu Beichen had no idea that the Zhang father and daughter were so narrow-minded. They went back and rested for a while, then received a call from Mei Shaofeng, who asked them to have lunch with him at noon.
Su Nian readily agreed, packed up and followed Chu Beichen to the appointment.
Mei Shaofeng is treating us today. He found the scroll of the Nine Needles of Heavenly Medicine in the ancient city. He was so happy that he wanted to celebrate with everyone.
Mei Shaofeng chose the largest hotel in Zhangye and ordered a table full of chicken, duck, fish, meat, and local special snacks, and opened the local barley wine.
"I'm so happy," Mei Shaofeng drank heartily, draining his glass. "Our sect is quite deserted, and we've received fewer and fewer inheritances. I never expected that by chance this time, I could even receive something from our elders. It's a pleasant surprise!"
Everyone congratulated Mei Shaofeng. Mei Shaofeng looked at Su Nian and hesitated several times, but finally couldn't help it and said, "Doctor Su, I think you have a deep connection with the Tianyi Sect. How about joining our sect?"
Su Nian's heart moved. Her ability came very suddenly. She had thought of this as early as when she met Mei Shaofeng. At least she could find a sense of belonging.
Moreover, after spending such a long time together, she basically understood the personalities of Master Mei Shaofeng and his apprentice, and knew that they were both warm-hearted and honest people, and that she could interact with them with confidence.
Now that Mei Shaofeng had formally made the invitation, she glanced at Chu Beichen, who smiled at her and nodded imperceptibly. Su Nian then understood what her husband meant.
"Okay then, I'm willing to join the Tianyi Sect!" Su Nian answered very solemnly.
Mei Shaofeng was overjoyed. He was drunk, but after hearing Su Nian's words, he sobered up all of a sudden. Others joined the sect to learn skills, and Su Nian's medical skills were even better than his, so he didn't expect Su Nian to agree to his request.
"That's great," Mei Shaofeng said incoherently. "It's settled now. You're not allowed to regret it. When we return to the capital, I'll open a temple and invite you to formally join me!"
Everyone agreed, and the scene suddenly became extremely lively. Tang Xin patted Su Nian and said, "I never thought that from now on, you will also be a member of a sect!"
Just as the atmosphere was getting lively, the door of the private room was kicked open and several people in uniform rushed in. The leader was a short man who stood at the front with an aggressive look on his face. "Who is Su Nian? You are in trouble!"
This was the second time Su Nian had heard such threats today. He immediately guessed who was behind this. "Oh? Is it troublesome? Tell me about it."
The little man didn't expect Su Nian to be so young and yet so calm. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Someone reported you for stealing cultural relics from the ancient city ruins. Come with us!"
