Chapter 350: Fake Politeness
"Chao Chao, it's getting late, why don't we come back tomorrow?" Yunniang seemed helpless.
When the carriage passed the Ming family, Chaochao started to make a fuss about getting off.
The little guy was carrying a small bag and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Mom, mom, Uncle Ming said I'm welcome to come play anytime."
Yunniang: I’m just being polite…
Xie Yuzhou followed eagerly: "I will take care of sister Zhaoyang, don't worry, father."
When Lord Ming heard the news and rushed to the gate, he was shocked for a moment. Princess Zhaoyang took the polite words seriously.
But the other person is only three and a half years old, so it's normal for him to take it seriously.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's a blessing for the Ming family that Princess Zhaoyang comes to play in the mansion."
"Lang'er, open the front door quickly."
Yunniang was not at ease leaving her alone in the Ming family.
To her, the South Country was a den of wolves and dragons. If she left Chaochao in the Ming family, she would probably have trouble sleeping at night.
"Mom, Uncle Ming's family has a black bird, and Chaochao has never seen a black bird before. Can you let Chaochao stay for two days? Okay? Please, mom..." The little guy hugged Yunniang's thighs and coaxed her coquettishly.
[Chao Chao can’t wait to see my useless disciples…]
Yunniang was stunned.
Thinking of the little guy's past, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it. I will bother you for a few days. I am sorry for causing trouble to your family because of my childish nature..." Yunniang said apologetically.
Lord Ming waved his hands and said, "Princess Zhaoyang is innocent, well-behaved and cute. It's no trouble at all. If you like, you can stay for a few more days."
After saying that, everyone in the Ming family welcomed Lu Chaochao into the house.
Xu left Chao Chao with a few servants who were very skilled in martial arts before she left reluctantly.
Mingxian personally welcomed Lu Chaochao into the house, and Xie Yuzhou followed behind like a little tail.
"Wow, what a huge tree..." Xie Yuzhou couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the huge tree in the Ming family's courtyard.
Mingxian smiled with respect, "The Ming family believes in the God of Life. This tree was born from a small branch of the Tree of Life. It took the Ming family a thousand years."
"What does the God of Life look like?" Xie Yuzhou asked curiously.
Mingxian shook his head: "How dare a servant look directly at the true face of a god?"
Xie Yuzhou stuck out his tongue.
"Sister Zhaoyang, can you really convince them? They seem to be a bunch of old-fashioned people..." Xie Yuzhou shook his head.
Lu Chaochao smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the hall, and Minglang happened to come in to answer the conversation.
Seeing Lu Chaochao was shocked, why did she come to the Ming family?
"There's no need to make a fuss about Princess Zhaoyang coming to stay in our house." Mingxian scolded his son in a low voice.
"Yes, father."
Mingxian asked with concern: "Has the person who summoned the god's true body been found?"
Last time, the second elder Ming Cheng led his disciples to rebel against their family. Fortunately, the God of Life came in person and bestowed divine power. Otherwise, the Ming family would be in disarray now.
I'm afraid it has already been swallowed up by other families.
"No, my son has inquired about it. Miracles appear in the desert. It is thousands of miles away from Beizhao, but nothing unusual has been found." Minglang's tone sounded a little disappointed.
That person is the hope of the Ming family.
Minglang's voice was slightly choked with sobs: "Father, the Second Elder led the clan members to rebel against the Ming Family. One day, I will seek justice for the Ming Family!"
Mingxian waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this today."
He looked at the two little guests in the room.
"Let Lang'er show you around... Ming has to serve the ancestors, so he will take his leave first." Mingxian sighed in a low voice.
Minglang then forced a smile and took Lu Chaochao and the other man for a stroll in the mansion.
The Ming family occupied a very large area, which showed that their ancestors were indeed wealthy.
"The Ming family has fallen on hard times." Minglang looked dejected.
"Back then, the Ming family was favored by the God of Life and was prominent for a time. Now... the younger generation has all rebelled against the Ming family."
"Fortunately, the God of Life gave me strength last time, otherwise..."
"When I return to the South, the Ming family will have been divided up." Ming Lang's face was full of bitterness. The Ming family looked glorious on the outside, but it had no gods to support it and was in danger.
"Didn't you say that the gods bestowed you with power last time?" Lu Chaochao was curious. Did I bestow you too little? ?
Minglang smiled softly: "You don't understand."
"That can only provide temporary relief. The root cause is still with the gods."
Minglang took a deep breath.
"In the South Country, if you fail to summon gods for many years in a row, you will be expelled from the family of gods' servants. This year is the Ming family's last chance." Minglang's face was extremely ugly, which was also the reason why the second elder was eager to find a way out.
"When will we summon the gods next time?" Lu Chaochao asked curiously.
"Next month. This is the Ming family's last chance." Minglang felt heavy in his heart.
"What's that sound?" Xie Yuzhou asked, pricking up his ears.
Ming Lang listened carefully for a moment, and a smile spread across his brows: "It's the magical pheasant raised by the Ming family."
"The voice is crisp and pleasant to the ear. The spirit pheasant feeds on spirit rice and spirit water. Its meat is tender and delicious. It is said to be a rare delicacy in the world."
"The feathers on its body were so colorful that people once mistook it for a phoenix."
Minglang brought the two of them to the Spirit Bird Garden.
"Brother!" The young boy ran out quickly when he heard the clear voice.
"This is my younger brother Mingzhu, a few years older than you." Minglang introduced.
"This is Princess Zhaoyang, Master Yuzhou."
The young boy was about eleven or twelve years old. He greeted his two younger brothers and sisters with a smile.
Minglang smiled and said, "It's a pity that the pheasants have been released from the cage today, otherwise we could have killed two more. Please have a taste of this, my two little guests..."
"It's difficult to catch a spiritual pheasant, once it's out of the cage..." As soon as the words fell, Lu Chaochao and Xie Yuzhou rushed into the spiritual bird garden.
clear? ? ? ?
Wait, I'm just being polite! !
Just finished being polite...
Xie Yuzhou held a magical pheasant in his left hand and a magical pheasant in his right hand, both of which were in his arms.
Lu Chaochao held a magical pheasant in his left hand and a magical pheasant in his right hand, holding them in his arms.
He looked at the two brothers of the Ming family with surprise and said, "It's not hard to catch them at all. Thank you Brother Minglang for your hospitality."
"How about I help you catch a few more?" Lu Chaochao raised his head and looked at the Ming brothers with an innocent face.
The two brothers opened their mouths, but not a word came out.
Minglang just wanted to slap himself twice. You were pretending to be polite, but you met a real fool, right?
Minglang's smile was uglier than crying: "No, no, it's enough to eat."
Mingzhu pursed his lips and smiled secretly. His elder brother was polite in words but stingy in reality.
Are you in trouble now?
"I'll give it to the small kitchen and ask them to clean it up. I'll let Sister Chaochao have a taste of it tonight."
"By the way, that is our ancestors' forbidden land, you can't go near it."
Outside the bamboo forest, there is a forbidden stone tablet.
"The ancestor Xuanniao has a bad temper, and even my father can't get away with it." Xuanniao feeds on spirit stones. Now that the Ming family can't provide spirit stones, the ancestor is hungry every day and is naturally irritable.
"It's the Ming family that wronged our ancestor."
"It would be great if I could get a top-grade spirit stone."
"One top-grade spirit stone is worth a thousand ordinary spirit stones."
Minglang shook his head: "I have never seen a top-grade spirit stone since I was born, so I just want to think about it."
Lu Chaochao tilted her head and looked at him: "Have you opened the gift I gave you?"
"Open it and have a look when you have time."
