The waiter thought about the countless opportunities to become stronger that he had in front of him, but he didn't know how to cherish them. Now he really regretted it. But it was too late to regret it now.
He shook his head bitterly, then suddenly remembered what the old beggar had said to him, and his eyes suddenly lit up. So, he still gained something.
Elsewhere, Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan discovered a hidden gem within the beggar's aircraft. The space inside was no less than a basketball court. What shocked Xiao Qingran was the sheer luxury of the interior. The floor, for example, was paved entirely with top-grade spirit stones, and the doors to every room were constructed from lightning-struck wood. Even more incredible to Xiao Qingran was the number of spiritual artifacts on the antique display shelves, numbering at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, and all of them top-grade. In short, there wasn't a single item in this aircraft that wasn't a luxury item. A single top-grade spirit stone scraped from the ground was enough to pay for the drinks.
So, the old beggar was not so poor that he couldn't afford to buy wine.
Soon, the aircraft landed above a courtyard. The old beggar pointed to the courtyard below and said, "We're here."
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan were much calmer now.
After the three people got off the aircraft, the old beggar retracted the shrunken aircraft and landed in the courtyard with the two people.
"You must be wondering why I have such a large aircraft and can afford to live in such a large house, but I still buy alcohol on credit? I owe people money for alcohol."
The old beggar asked as he led Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan into the house.
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan had already guessed the reason, but pretended not to know and said, "Master may have his own plans."
The old beggar gave the two of them an approving look.
"Before you showed up, I'd been living as a beggar for over a decade. For so many years, wherever I went, I was despised. The only kind person willing to treat me sincerely was that stupid waiter. To get him to become my disciple, I was willing to stay in this city for two months, waiting for him. Unfortunately, he just wouldn't catch on. Perhaps we really weren't meant to be master and disciple!"
After the old beggar finished speaking, he sighed deeply.
Xiao Qingran thought for a moment and then asked calmly, "So, it was my husband and I who stole his place as his disciple?"
The old beggar shook his head. "Actually, even if you hadn't shown up today, I would have lost my patience with him. When he threw me down from the second floor again, I gave up on him. This kid is just clueless. I've been away from home for over a decade, and I'm tired of him. I originally took that stupid waiter in just to make do. His kindness stood out against everyone else's backdrop. But after you showed up, I realized that kindness doesn't mean intelligence. Foolishly kind people will suffer endless losses. Besides, with my status, not being smart means endless trouble. I don't want to cause myself any trouble."
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan exchanged a glance, feeling the old man wasn't telling the truth. Who would spend over a decade just looking for a single disciple? And using such a childish method?
As soon as the three of them walked into the house, two servants came out to greet them respectfully.
"Master, you're back?"
The two servants were obviously surprised when they saw Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan?
"Lao Li, Lao Wang, let me introduce you to these two, my new apprentices. They will be the masters of this place from now on."
The two servants knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed to the two men in fear and trepidation.
"Oh! Look at me! I was so excited that I forgot to ask your names."
The old beggar patted his head and asked with a smile, "My two disciples, what are your names?"
"Xiao Qingran."
"Luo Jiuyan."
The old beggar felt for a moment that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
He thought they might be famous, so he didn't think much about it and took out two top-grade spiritual weapons from his space ring.
"Come on, give this Dragon Frost Sword to Jiuyan, and this Jade Flute to Qingran."
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan accepted it respectfully.
"Okay, okay. My name is Ji Qi, and I'm the younger brother of the Ji family's patriarch. I'll let Lao Li and Lao Wang take you to rest first. I'll wash up and take you to the Ji family in the imperial capital."
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan answered yes, and then saw Ji Qi running away in a hurry.
The two were taken to a luxuriously decorated room by Old Li. As soon as Old Li left, Xiao Qingran said, "I suspect this Ji Qi is very likely related to Ji Bei. However, this Ji Qi has spent more than ten years disguising himself just to find an apprentice, which is itself very problematic."
Especially the stench that Ji Qi exuded, so disgusting that it made them want to vomit. No one could stand this smell. If they hadn't realized that Ji Qi was truly capable, they would never have accepted him as their master. Speaking of which, the waiter was truly kind.
Luo Jiuyan smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, we have to go to the Ji family. No matter what Ji Bei's attitude towards us is, with Abai and Jinlong here, I believe he will be the same as before."
Xiao Qingran wasn't so optimistic. Although in modern times, after Ji Bei surrendered to A Bai, they got along quite well. But who knew if they were in his territory, would he unite with the family's masters to deal with the couple? After all, their current strength was really low in this continent.
Two hours later, Lao Li came to call the two of them.
When Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan saw Ji Qi again, they were both stunned.
"Why? Are you shocked to see my true appearance and age?"
Xiao Qingran couldn't help but ask, "Is this your true appearance and real age?"
Ji Qi is now dressed in the noble style of a scholar, with a delicate appearance that is not inferior to Ji Bei, and he looks three points similar to Ji Bei. What makes Xiao Qingran even more concerned is that he now looks only about thirty years old.
If Ji Qi and Ji Bei stand together, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are brothers.
"My appearance is real, but my age is just that! I'm almost 200 years old this year."
Ji Qi raised his eyebrows proudly.
After meeting the thousand-year-old Abai and the golden dragon, Xiao Qingran no longer had much of a reaction to the nearly two-hundred-year-old Ji Qi. However, Xiao Qingran now wanted to know how Ji Bei would react when he saw her and Luo Jiuyan. Since they were going to the Ji family anyway, the three of them would meet sooner or later. Suddenly, her worries were no longer there.
"Let's go! We still have a long way to go to the imperial capital. Let's talk on the aircraft."
After Ji Qi finished speaking, he threw the aircraft into the sky, and the three of them flew on the aircraft together.
"When we get to the imperial capital, I'll have someone give each of you a flying machine. It'll be convenient for you to get around. I don't want my apprentice to have to rely on flying swords to get around in the future, and then be laughed at for not caring about me."
Ji Qi spoke seriously and took out a lot of fruits and food from the space.
"I don't know if these things suit your taste?"
