After Mao Yifu handed the jade pendant back to Xie Hanshi, he turned around and instructed the servant disciple beside him, "Mao Da, take Hanshi downstairs to freshen up first. I will hold a banquet in the thatched cottage to entertain guests. Please ask Hanshi to accompany you."
The Thatched Building was the most spacious and upscale banquet hall of the Maoshan Sect. All guests who were entertained by Mao Yifu at the Thatched Building were honored guests of the Maoshan Sect.
Mao Da's eyes flashed slightly, and he put away the contempt he had for Xie Hanshi in his heart.
Mao Da was Mao Yifu's closest confidant, and had served Mao Yifu for over thirty years. Mao Da had no idea that Mao Yifu had made such an arrangement; it was clear that Mao Yifu was treating Xie Hanshi as his brother-in-law.
Mao Da replied "yes" with a smile on his face, then extended his hand as a gesture, inviting Xie Hanshi to leave with him.
Xie Hanshi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Mao, I have two companions. I wonder if they can join the Maoshan Sect with me?"
"Okay, since these are people brought by Han Shi, you can arrange them together, Mao Da." Mao Yi Fu was still willing to give this little face to his future brother-in-law.
Two Qi Condensation cultivators weren't worthy enough for Mao Yifu to personally meet. He had considered whether the visitors might be spies. However, Mao Yifu was his domain, and he wasn't afraid that two small-time Qi Condensation figures could shake the foundations of his sect.
The passage of time can reveal everything. No matter what purpose the visitor has, Mao Yi Fu intends to leave it to time to verify.
After Xie Hanshi walked into the main hall, the two people, a man and a woman who followed Xie Hanshi, were stopped outside the hall by Mao Da.
Mao Da held his head high, and before the couple had a chance to talk to him, he left.
"Bah! What's so great about a servant?" The man couldn't help but spit at Mao Da's back.
"Wuyang, don't do this, we will be kicked out." The woman pulled the man's sleeve with a weak look on her face and said in a low voice.
"What are you afraid of? We are here for Brother Hanshi's sake, not to let others trample on our reputation." The man glanced at the woman and said angrily.
The man is Xie Hanshi's "good brother" Ye Wuyang, and the woman is Zhou Yuanyuan's old acquaintance He Jingjing.
If Zhou Yuanyuan were here, she would definitely marvel at the wonders of fate. What kind of ridiculous "fate" is this between her and He Jingjing? As soon as Zhou Yuanyuan arrived at Maoshan Sect, He Jingjing appeared.
However, He Jingjing looked like a woman in her thirties at this time, old and haggard.
"Wuyang, I heard that the welfare of Maoshan Sect is very good. I wonder if Xie Hanshi is generous enough to let Maoshan Sect keep us?" He Jingjing stared at the door of the master's hall with envy. She wanted to walk over and take a look, but she didn't dare.
"What are you afraid of? If I am not welcome here, I will find other places that will welcome me." Ye Wuyang looked at He Jingjing with disgust and said arrogantly.
"Wuyang, you...you haven't given up the idea of looking for that person yet, right?" He Jingjing was stunned.
"Why not?" Ye Wuyang looked at He Jingjing contemptuously and said.
It was Xie Hanshi's idea to come to Maoshan Sect to join Xie Hanmei. Ye Wuyang didn't want to come. But He Jingjing insisted on following Xie Hanshi, so Ye Wuyang had no choice but to follow.
Ye Wuyang was actually hoping that Xie Hanshi would be rejected by the Maoshan Sect! If that were the case, He Jingjing would respond to his proposal to return to the Yushan Sect.
Xie Hanshi has now lost his usefulness in Ye Wuyang's eyes. However, fortunately, He Jingjing has won the favor of a noble person. Ye Wuyang's luck has always been good!
"No, Wuyang, you must not go to find him. That man is a devil." He Jingjing knew that the "Liu Ye's place" Ye Wuyang mentioned was the leader of Yushan Sect, Ling Xiaotian, and hurriedly persuaded him.
He Jingjing knew that Ye Wuyang was always bold, but she never thought that Ye Wuyang would dare to set his sights on Ling Xiaotian. Ling Xiaotian was not a fool like Xie Hanshi, he was a demon who killed people without blinking an eye.
He Jingjing couldn't help shuddering when she thought of Wu Xiuyun, who had all her spiritual energy sucked out of her by Ling Xiaotian and turned into a dead stick.
"Hehe..." Ye Wuyang smiled and said nothing more.
Ye Wuyang would definitely not tell He Jingjing about Ling Xiaotian's visit to him. In Ye Wuyang's heart, He Jingjing was just his "cauldron", and he didn't need to tell He Jingjing about anything he did.
"Really, Wuyang, don't disbelieve it. That man is a devil, a man-eating devil." He Jingjing grabbed Ye Wuyang's hand and said excitedly.
"Be careful with your words. This isn't the Yushan Sect." Ye Wuyang waved He Jingjing away. Taking the opportunity to look at the surrounding scenery, he moved a little further away from He Jingjing.
If this woman wasn't still useful to him, Ye Wuyang would have gotten rid of her long ago. Not only was she ugly, but she was also incredibly stupid.
What is this place? Maoshan Sect!
Did He Jingjing really think that Mao Yifu would just leave them at the door and leave them alone? Who knew how many eyes were watching them secretly? Otherwise, why would he have deliberately said those words to annoy Mao Yifu?
After being scolded by Ye Wuyang, He Jingjing pouted in grievance. Men are like this. Before they get her, they obey her in everything, but once they get her, they don't cherish her anymore.
He Jingjing looked at the desolate scene of the Maoshan Sect, which was covered with thatch, and felt a pang of regret. If she had known earlier, she would not have come to the secret realm for Ling Xiaotian's elixir.
With He Jingjing's cultivation level of the second level of Qi training, not to mention being very successful, she is sure to live a rich life.
Now? He Jingjing has become Ye Wuyang's dual cultivation partner, and everything depends on Ye Wuyang's mood.
He Jingjing didn't know that the so-called dual cultivation partner was just a lie Ye Wuyang had told her. In reality, after Ye Wuyang had tricked He Jingjing into his life, he used her as his own "cauldron." Fortunately, He Jingjing's cultivation level was not high, and Ye Wuyang was afraid that she would die. Therefore, every time they practiced dual cultivation, Ye Wuyang only dared to absorb a small amount of He Jingjing's spiritual energy, not daring to drain her dry.
Despite this, He Jingjing's cultivation level was slowly declining. During this time, Xie Hanshi had been hiding from Ye Wuyang and He Jingjing everywhere because of his foul odor. He Jingjing hadn't looked in the mirror in a long time, unaware that she, at eighteen years old, had already transformed from a young girl into a middle-aged woman.
He Jingjing's cultivation level dropped to the first level of Qi training. Not only did her appearance fade, but her body also became increasingly weak.
Due to her misunderstanding of her own "charm", He Jingjing was completely unaware of this.
After a long time, the two saw Xie Hanshi being brought out respectfully by Mao Da.
"Brother Hanshi, what's wrong?" Ye Wuyang came over quickly after seeing him.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Master Mao has agreed to take us in." Xie Hanshi said with a smile on his face.
