Chapter 175 Contradiction
Fei Qiu said with some regret, "Since none of us are the chosen owners of this treasured sword, and no one can lift it, are we just going to leave it here? It would be such a waste if someone else took it."
“No, there’s one more person.” Lu Cheng’s eyes lit up.
The elderly man said, "Oh, right, and some wine! Quickly call her over to try it."
Lu Cheng lowered his head and sent a message to Qin Jiu.
After a moment, he stretched out his hand in front of Fei Qiu: "Give it to me."
Fei Qiu was bewildered: "Take what?"
Lu Cheng replied matter-of-factly, "A teleportation card! Qin Jiu doesn't have a teleportation card, so she can't come."
Fei Qiu: "..."
He spat at Lu Cheng and gave him a teleportation card.
Lu Cheng, using this as a pretext, gave Qin Jiu the gift.
Fei Qiu looked on coldly: "You're inhuman! Being brothers with you is the worst luck imaginable."
Lu Cheng pretended not to hear.
Soon, Qin Jiu arrived, looking disheveled.
Her trouser legs, shoes, and hands were covered in mud, making her look even worse than Lu Cheng had been earlier.
Qin Jiu explained helplessly, "I just saw Mengmeng's message, but this knife recognizes its master, so it should recognize a very strong master, right?"
She excels in nothing, so why would the Phoenix Cry Blade recognize her as its master?
So I simply decided not to try it.
But Lu Cheng insisted that she come and try it, and even gave her a teleportation card.
Lu Cheng urged, "Hey, stop dawdling, hurry up and try it!"
Qin Jiu looked down at the mud on her body and hesitated, "I..."
Meng Qingyin patted her shoulder: "Since it's a precious sword, it certainly won't care about these things. Besides, you don't even have a suitable weapon yet."
Last time they teamed up to run the dungeon, Qin Jiu had all the strength, but could only use trees as weapons.
If she had a suitable weapon, her combat power would definitely increase by a level.
Qin Jiu wasn't so optimistic: "Even if the treasured sword doesn't mind that I'm covered in mud, it doesn't mean it's willing to acknowledge me as its master."
After saying that, she carefully cleaned the mud off her hands and rinsed them with water before walking to the supply box.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Jiu stood still, the Phoenix Cry Blade, which no one could lift no matter how hard they tried, flew out of the supply box on its own and landed in Qin Jiu's hand, making a clanging sound.
This scene left everyone stunned.
Qin Jiu looked down at the Phoenix Cry Blade in surprise, "This...this is..."
Meng Qingyin smiled and said, "I already said that the Phoenix Cry Blade has a spirit. It seems that it likes you very much and has recognized you as its master."
Qin Jiu was still somewhat dazed. "But why did it recognize me as its master?"
Although she held the Phoenix Cry Blade in her hand, she still felt a sense of unreality.
Everyone present was stronger than her, both in terms of ability and luck.
Why did the Phoenix Cry Blade choose her?
Meng Qingyin could tell that although Qin Jiu was usually carefree, she was actually quite sensitive—sensitive to the fact that her strength and luck were inferior to others.
Meng Qingyin said earnestly, "The Phoenix Cry Blade chose you, so you are the best."
Qin Jiu looked at the Phoenix Cry Blade without saying a word.
After a long silence, she nodded emphatically: "Yes, I will try my best to be worthy of the Phoenix Cry Blade."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Phoenix Cry Blade God swayed slightly, seemingly disagreeing with her words.
Qin Jiu changed her tune, saying, "Let's become better together."
The Phoenix Cry Blade emitted another clanging sound, seemingly indicating its agreement.
Qin Jiu couldn't help but laugh.
The elderly man smiled broadly: "As expected of a treasured sword, it immediately chose the strongest among us. This is what you call a powerful alliance."
Qin Jiu was a little embarrassed by his praise, "Grandpa, please stop teasing me."
The elderly man chuckled, "This is no joke, I really think so."
Qin Jiu secretly made up her mind that she would strengthen her strength training in the future, for herself and for the Phoenix Cry Blade.
The precious sword had already recognized its master, so the crowd dispersed.
A short while later, Qin Jiu sent a private message to Meng Qingyin: "Boss Meng, you got the Phoenix Cry Blade from the box, but you gave it to me. I owe you for that."
Mengmeng: "It was the Phoenix Cry Blade that chose you, it's not like I gave you up."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "No matter what, I owe you a huge favor."
Mengmeng: "Then dig up more potatoes for me, I love potatoes."
Meng Qingyin wasn't just being polite; she genuinely loved potatoes.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Alright, potatoes galore!"
That being said, how could potatoes possibly compensate for Meng Qingyin's loss?
Qin Jiu thought that she would send Meng Qingyin any good items she got in the future, so that she could choose whatever she wanted.
Okay, that's decided!
...
Next, Meng Qingyin picked some plums and cucumbers, and also received a lot of fruits and vegetables from Chen Leying and the others.
Around 3 PM, she used the teleportation card to arrive at Li Family Village to visit Uncle Li.
She couldn't possibly eat all these fruits and vegetables herself, so she decided to take some to Uncle Li.
The location of Lijia Village has changed again; the road leading to the village is now too narrow for trains to pass through.
Meng Qingyin then transformed the car into an old man's car before arriving at the Li family's door.
Unexpectedly, I spotted the familiar bicycle right away.
Is Brother Tie Niu back?
Meng Qingyin got out of the car, unloaded the fruits and vegetables, and tried calling out at the door, "Uncle Li, Brother Tie Niu, are you home?"
"Hey, who is it?" Li Tieniu's voice came from inside the house, and then he came out.
Upon seeing that it was Meng Qingyin, he waved enthusiastically: "It's Xiao Meng! You've come at just the right time!"
Li the blacksmith also came out, his face not looking too good, but when he faced Meng Qingyin, he showed a kind smile.
Meng Qingyin noticed that the atmosphere between the two men was a bit off, so she greeted them, "Uncle Li, Brother Tie Niu, I brought some fruits and vegetables."
Li Tieniu quickly came over. "I'll help you carry it. But why did you bring so much stuff?"
Meng Qingyin lowered her voice and asked, "What happened between you and Uncle Li?"
Li Tieniu waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's the same old story."
Meng Qingyin stopped asking questions and helped Li Tieniu move all the fruits and vegetables into his house.
The blacksmith's smile returned naturally: "My daughter is so thoughtful, it's a pity I don't have that kind of luck."
He glared at Li Tieniu, "You had a son, and all you know how to do is disobey me!"
Meng Qingyin patted his back to help him catch his breath, saying, "Uncle Li, why are you arguing with Brother Tie Niu? He rarely comes back."
Li the blacksmith waved his hand, "Never mind, let's not talk about him! I'm glad you're here. Come on in, let's have some tea!"
Li Tieniu mouthed something to Meng Qingyin from a distance. After a moment of deciphering, Meng Qingyin realized it meant "Save my dog's life."
She was both amused and exasperated. So, the father and son really had a falling out?
However, since it was someone else's family matter, she couldn't interfere.
Meng Qingyin accompanied Li the blacksmith to drink tea and chat. As they talked, Li the blacksmith completely forgot about Li Tieniu's matter.
Since Meng Qingyin rarely comes to visit, Li the blacksmith naturally wanted to invite her to stay for a meal.
Meng Qingyin didn't want to trouble him, but faced with his expectant eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she reluctantly stayed.
Unexpectedly, a quarrel broke out between the father and son at the dinner table.
It all started when she asked, "Brother Tie Niu, is the construction team busy lately?"
