Chapter 715 Comparison
Jiaying crossed his Buddhist beads and said coldly:
"There's a difference between false five spiritual roots and false five spiritual roots. My Yan Xia worked her way up from the bottom, without any help or resources. Her success is even more precious."
The secret guard didn't dare to talk. He felt that the Holy Son was a little scary. Whenever several men sat together, he would automatically start competing for a husband. He had to prove that the one in his family was the best in order to elevate himself.
What's even more terrifying is that the Holy Son may not realize that he is competing. He is born with a hatred for men and hates all men around him equally. As long as the same sex appears around him and has competitive looks and abilities, he will regard them as imaginary enemies and arouse his hatred.
Ji Wenyi didn't like what Jiaying said. No one could cover up Abao's brilliance.
Ji Wenyi unknowingly found himself competing with Jiaying.
"A Bao also relies entirely on her own efforts. I haven't given her many resources."
Jiaying sneered coldly, "You don't even invest resources in the one you love, and yet you dare to call yourself affectionate? It's really laughable."
Ji Wenyi tightened his grip on the wine glass. He realized that every word Jiaying said tonight was choking him.
If Jiaying and Ji Weiming had any grudges, they could just stab each other in private. Why should they take out their anger on Ji Weiming just because he looks like the same person?
Xiao Chujing also eagerly joined in the competition, "There is indeed a difference between those with fake five spiritual roots."
He slowed down his speech and emphasized, "My little junior sister has experienced the Ten Thunder Tribulations."
Ji Wenyi looked at Jiaying and said, "Aren't you the best at making fun of others? Go ahead and make fun of me."
Jiaying finally glanced at Xiao Chujing. "When water is full, it overflows. Too much is as bad as too little. Do you really think the Ten Thunder Tribulations are a good thing?"
Ji Wenyi smiled and poured wine for Xiao Chujing, "Brother Xiao, drink."
Xiao Chujing lowered his head and watched the wine rising in the glass. The ends of his high ponytail fell on his shoulders, and he sighed helplessly.
"I often tell my junior sister that if you're not envied by others, you're mediocre. If you stand out in the forest, the wind will surely destroy you. If you're too outstanding, you must learn to endure the slander and curses of others."
He asked Jiaying, as if humbly seeking advice: "Master, I was reading the Anguttara Āgama Sutra the other day, and there was a sentence I didn't understand. It says, 'Do not slander others, do not judge right or wrong.' Could you explain to me what it means?"
Xiao Chujing directly quoted classics in Jiaying's professional field, chased Jiaying and mocked him, and cursed him in a very sophisticated way.
Ji Wenyi and Jiaying were both speechless.
Xiao Chujing meant for them to stop talking, otherwise they would be jealous of his wife's achievements.
Xiao Chujing felt that he had drunk too much and wanted to drink some tea to sober up.
Jiaying's tea set was placed in the public area in the middle of the wine table, with several cups of tea poured on it, probably to invite everyone to drink together.
He then reached out his hand, intending to take a cup.
Jiaying said coldly, "It fell."
The monk sitting behind Jiaying immediately leaned forward and poured out all the tea.
Xiao Chujing withdrew his finger awkwardly.
This monk is so stingy.
Ji Wenyi said, "I have tea leaves, but I lack the spring water to make them."
Xiao Chujing said, "I have a way."
He wanted to drink the spring water tonight.
Xiao Chujing directly took out a talisman. The talisman paper was pink, a rare color. It should have been specially dyed. Ji Wenyi had only seen Xiao Chujing use it.
There was not a single word on the talisman paper. Xiao Chujing dipped some wine in it and casually drew a circle on the paper. This should be the wake-up signal for the talisman paper.
A beautiful magical herb drawn with a brush appeared on the paper. It grew branches and leaves automatically like a living thing, and it was lifelike and turned into real grass. The leaves coiled into two wings decorated with flowers. The small wings flapped and flew up with the talisman paper.
Xiao Chujing ordered: "Find some spring water."
The talisman paper suddenly flew away.
Xiao Chujing told Ji Wenyi: "My little junior sister likes spiritual herbs, and this is the talisman I made specially for her."
Ji Wenyi: "..."
Have I asked you? Am I interested? Don’t show your affection in front of me.
The Tongmai flower has not yet produced any fruit.
Ji Wenyi was bored, so he followed up the topic and asked Jiaying, "I remember that the Holy Son is proficient in making talismans. What new works have you made recently?"
Jiaying replied, "I don't need to create special talismans to please her; she treats me well. I often feel guilty because I haven't given anything in return, but she has been giving everything for me."
Ji Wenyi: “……?”
I didn't ask you to show off your affection.
Jiaying took out a candied haws from Guangda's sleeve and expressed his happiness to himself.
"Take out the candied haws. She's so good to me, so good that sometimes I wonder if I'm dreaming. It's too good to be true."
Xiao Chujing and Ji Wenyi looked at Jiaying in confusion. They felt it was a bit incongruous that Jiaying started eating snacks that only five-year-old children would like with the temperament of a master.
Jiaying said, "This is the candied haws she made for me."
The secret guard couldn't help but complain in his heart, thinking that the big shot had finally changed the direction of comparison, from "how excellent my wife is" to "how good my wife is to me".
Jiaying asked Xiao Chujing and Ji Wenyi expressionlessly, "Is your girl as good as mine?"
Ji Wenyi and Xiao Chujing felt heartbroken at the same time. When they heard Jiaying stabbed them, they remembered that Ye Xiaoman had never given them any decent gifts.
It is true that the candied haws in Jiaying's hands are crudely made, but it is also a gesture of love.
The damn competitive spirit has been aroused.
The talisman that Xiao Chujing sent out came back, and the leaves of the spiritual grass spread out, grabbing a few large lotus leaves that were filled with water.
The secret guard helped him make tea, and he took out the bottle of pills from his arms.
"Everyone has a gift." Xiao Chujing showed off in a low-key manner.
Jiaying glanced at it disdainfully. "It's a pill for healing injuries. When did your junior sister give it to you? When you were injured?"
Without giving Xiao Chujing a chance to answer, Jiaying asked and answered himself.
"When ordinary fellow disciples see their teammates injured, they lend a hand. Isn't that what they should do?"
The implication is, what do you have to show off?
Xiao Chujing: "..."
Ji Wenyi was silent. He had never received any gift from Ye Xiaoman.
Jiaying looked at them with sympathy, two people who had never been loved.
It was originally a minor episode that was not worth worrying about, and Jiaying's behavior was childish and ridiculous, but Jiaying's condescending attitude hurt Ji Wenyi and Xiao Chujing.
Deep down, they were always afraid of not being loved by Ye Xiaoman, and Jiaying touched the point that they cared about most in their subconscious.
Ji Wenyi said, "I forgot to bring Abao's gift."
Xiao Chujing was unwilling to be left behind, "I have other gifts too."
Seeing that the Tongmai Fruit could not mature tonight, Ji Wenyi wanted to leave immediately. Jiaying was an unbearable person.
"I'll come again tomorrow night."
Jiaying looked at them quietly without saying a word, as if he was waiting to see them make a fool of themselves tomorrow night.
After Ji Wenyi left, Xiao Chujing didn't even want to drink the tea he had prepared.
The two of them left Jiaying alone to take care of the fruit.
