Because the meal was so delicious, Zhang Meng ate two bowls of rice before stopping.
Maybe they were so hungry that they ate up more than ten plates of food.
Looking at the bone rack in front of her, Zhang Meng felt a little embarrassed. The bone racks she had eaten alone could fill a whole bowl.
Qing Yuan didn't notice this. His attention was now entirely focused on how to tell the young couple what to do next.
"Have you two eaten enough?" Qingyuan looked at the couple with a smile on her face.
Zhang Meng smiled at him and said, "I'm full."
When Qingyuan heard this, her smile became even brighter. She rubbed her hands together and continued, "Now that we're full, let's continue talking about what we talked about not long ago."
Zhang Meng's smile froze and she immediately looked at the man beside her.
At this moment, a big hand under the table suddenly covered the back of her hand and patted it gently.
Zhang Meng, whose face was stiff, immediately relaxed and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What else do you want to talk about, Mr. Qing? Didn't we already promise you that we would go there?"
As soon as Qing Yuan saw him speak, he felt nervous. This kid was as difficult to deal with as his master. It was true that like master, like disciple.
He had only recently learned from his eldest disciple that Gu Mingtai's master was a monk named Jingchen.
He also knew a monk named Jingchen in his life. If Comrade Gu’s master was the same person he knew, then he really had to take good care of this kid.
"It's like this. Tonight, leaders of monastic sects from all over the country will come here to discuss how to get the Resurrection Grass. Would you like to come and listen?"
Zhang Meng did not answer, but looked up at the man beside her.
Gu Mingtai frowned deeply for a moment, but within two minutes, he suddenly relaxed his expression, smiled, and said, "Sure, what time?"
Qing Yuan finally relaxed after worrying for a long time and quickly replied, "It will be around ten o'clock in the evening. I will send someone to call you then."
Gu Mingtai nodded slightly, "My wife and I are a little tired. Is there any place to stay here?"
Qing Yuan nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, wait, I'll ask someone to take you there right away."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Yuan called out to the helper's room, "Auntie Liu, Auntie Liu, please take these two guests to the guest rooms to rest."
The woman called Liu Ma was a middle-aged woman, a little plump, but the smile on her face made people feel comfortable. "I understand, Mr. Qing, don't worry, I will make sure to arrange for these two guests."
After Aunt Liu finished answering, she immediately looked towards Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai and said with a smile, "You two, there's a very nice room to the east of the guest building here. It's cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I'll take you there."
Zhang Meng pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Aunt Liu."
When Aunt Liu saw her, she smiled even more brightly. She stepped forward and shook Zhang Meng's hand, as if she were a mother seeing her long-lost daughter. She said warmly, "You're welcome, comrade. You're really beautiful. Come on, Aunt Liu, I'll take you there."
Soon, Zhang Meng was led by Liu Ma's hand towards the guest building.
Zhang Meng walked while looking back at Gu Mingtai.
He smiled at her, nodded slightly, and immediately looked towards Qingyuan and the others. He said politely, "Everyone, my wife and I are going to rest first. See you tonight."
"See you tonight." Everyone present stood up and said.
It was not until the young couple left that the three Youhui brothers and sisters looked at their master with confusion.
"Master, I don't understand why you are so polite to Comrade Gu and his wife!" Xiao Ling asked, touching his nose.
Qing Yuan glanced at the three of them and said, "You may not know this, but they are the best candidates to enter the underworld this time. If I don't treat them well and they give up, who will save the one above?"
The three Youhui brothers and sisters were extremely surprised. Qingyuan acted as if he didn't notice the surprise on their faces and continued to speak to them, "Next, I want to tell you something very important, but it's up to you to decide. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, I won't force you."
Upon hearing this, You Hui couldn't help but interrupt his master, "Master, are you trying to ask if we're willing to go with Comrade Gu and the others to the underworld to retrieve the Resurrection Grass?"
Qing Yuan glanced at his eldest disciple, a satisfied expression on his face. "That's right, that's what I meant. Going to the underworld this time might be a life-or-death experience, but there are also benefits. There are countless natural treasures there. If you go, you will definitely be able to improve your cultivation. Whether to go or not is up to you. Master is just giving you a heads up!"
At this moment, You Hui suddenly raised his hand and said, "Master, I am willing to follow Comrade Gu and the others to the underworld to get the Resurrection Grass."
Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling suddenly shouted, "Big Brother, are you crazy? Didn't you hear Master say that place is a life-or-death struggle? If you go there, you could die at any time."
You Wu frowned and said with a look of disapproval, "That's right, Big Brother, going to the underworld is different from us looking for the Jade Pearl. I think we should not go. Let Comrade Gu and the others go."
You Hui smiled at the two of them and said, "You Wu, Xiao Ling, do you feel that the biggest contributors to our search for the Jade Bead this time are Comrade Gu and Comrade Zhang? If we hadn't had their help along the way, we would have been dead by the time we found the first one."
