Sheng Ning led Qi Wenyao to the Qi family's treasure vault.
The entire mountain was piled high with all sorts of rare and precious treasures, both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
He even found a self-portrait of his parents, a picture of a harmonious couple, inside.
With a 'snap,' Qi Wenyao slammed the portrait shut and stood atop the treasure vault, fuming. 'I'm taking this painting home right now.'
Sheng Ning turned to look at him upon hearing this, "Give it to Master Qi?"
"No!" he said firmly. "I'm going to burn the painting in front of my father!"
Over the years, he has been too obedient and well-behaved.
He believed everything his father said.
His father said the family had no money, but he would occasionally take out money from his secret stash and invite his father to go to auctions to buy things that his father liked but couldn't afford.
And what was the result?
What did his obedience and good behavior bring him?
"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Sheng, I'm afraid I would have remained in the dark forever."
So from now on, he will be a rebellious and disobedient son!
He also wanted to be a spendthrift and squander the entire Qi family's treasure trove!
Seeing his annoyed expression, Sheng Ning smiled and handed him the Heavenly Lotus, saying, "Master Qi is also making plans for your future."
Her words made Qi Wenyao turn his head to meet her gaze. "Why is it for my own good?"
Seeing that he was determined to get to the bottom of things, Sheng Ning couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose. "Fellow Daoist Qi is kind-hearted. Master Qi is afraid that you will be swindled out of your family fortune by bad people."
"Yes, that must be it, because Fellow Daoist Qi has a pure and kind heart."
After listening to her words, Qi Wenyao looked down at the lotus in his hand.
The Immortal Lotus is a rare treasure; even the quality of a thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus cannot compare to that of a single Immortal Lotus.
I have no idea where his father got all these treasures from.
He tucked the lotus back into Sheng Ning's arms and said, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, I know you're trying to comfort me."
“My dad always said I was stupid when I was little, and that if my mom knew how stupid I was, she would definitely want to make me go back to school and start over.”
“Only you are kind-hearted and say that I am purely virtuous. You and your fellow disciples need this fairy lotus more than I do.”
"And I..."
Then you'll have a mountain of treasures, hahaha!!!
If Sheng Ning hadn't seen the excitement in his eyes, she would have felt sorry for him for a couple more seconds.
But seeing the expression in his eyes and guessing what he was thinking, Sheng Ning immediately suppressed the heartache in her heart.
Qi Wenyao lay directly on the treasure vault, and with a wave of his hands, all sorts of heavenly treasures were instantly gathered into his arms.
That wasn't enough. He turned to Sheng Ning and said, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, don't be so polite. Take more things, or my father will be furious."
After saying that, he brought a bunch of rare and precious treasures to Sheng Ning and said, "Where's your storage bag? By the way, Lord Bai Ze, come and help too."
"Yes, it's to hold the bag open so it's easy to put things in."
In the past, Sheng Ning spent money like water, spending tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones in a quarter of an hour on the ferry without even blinking.
She even used all her treasures to refine an enhanced laser cannon without feeling any remorse.
Seeing Qi Wenyao so eager to help her carry sacks full of rare and precious treasures, she felt sorry for him.
Even though she knew the Invincible Sect was wealthy, she still shed tears of envy when she saw that the entire mountain was filled with all sorts of rare and precious treasures.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, your family is really... too rich."
Qi Wenyao chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, you flatter me. When I become the head of the Qi family, I will give you some more as a celebration."
It's customary for those attending a banquet to bring gifts.
Qi Wenyao immediately mentioned that he would give her gifts after he became the head of the Qi family.
Is this what life is like for the rich?
Sheng Ning ate lemons all the way back, and when she returned to the Qi family, she saw her third senior brother returning from outside with Master Qi.
Lu Jingshen went to see Madam Qi with Master Qi today.
Having returned laden with spoils, Sheng Ning shook off the sour feeling in her mind and ran to her third senior brother, "Third senior brother, how was it?"
Even with the Bone-Growing-Flesh-Regenerating Pill, it wasn't easy for Lady Qi to recover.
Lu Jingshen raised his hand and patted her head, saying in a low voice, "It's alright, it just needs some time."
Master Qi watched the affectionate scene between the senior and junior disciples with a smile, remarking, "The Invincible Sect truly is a place where hidden talents abound."
"By the way, may I ask what my master's name is? When I travel to the mainland in the future, I will personally visit him to express my gratitude. He has taught a group of excellent disciples."
As soon as Master Qi finished speaking, Sheng Ning and Lu Jingshen exchanged a glance, and then saw nostalgia in each other's eyes.
I wonder how my socially awkward master is doing in the Invincible Sect, and whether he has starved to death because he can't eat roast goose.
As the senior disciple, Lu Jingshen clasped his hands in a fist salute and said in a deep voice, "My master is Mo Jingchun. I wonder if Master Qi has ever heard of my master's name?"
After all, before the arrival of the junior sister, Master would still be dragged out on a journey by them.
But then, for some reason, thunder rumbled in Master's courtyard.
Every time my master says something, he gets struck by lightning.
Before this, the master who had already traveled around should have become known to the world, right?
After all, Master once said that he was invincible.
Just as Lu Jingshen's expectant eyes fell on Master Qi, the latter's expression clearly froze.
Sheng Ning asked in confusion, "Master Qi, what's wrong?"
Master Qi hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Tell me, what is your master's name?"
"Don't be alarmed by spring."
The two students spoke in unison.
Soon, they saw that Master Qi's face, which had initially shown a shocked expression, revealed the same nostalgic expression as theirs.
"If it were him, his eye for choosing disciples would certainly not be too bad."
After saying that, his gaze fell on Sheng Ning again, "Has he acknowledged you?"
Sheng Ning nodded, "The day after I joined the sect, my second senior brother took me to see our master, and he also taught me the sect's internal cultivation method."
He raised his hand and touched his brow, where the old man's fingertips still seemed to retain warmth. "Master Qi knows Master Qi?"
Master Qi chuckled, but said nothing more. He simply looked at her with satisfaction and said, "Sheng Ning, don't let him down."
Sheng Ning was left confused and somewhat bewildered by what he had just said.
She wanted to ask more questions, but then she saw the person in front of her suddenly change his expression.
"Qi Wenyao, what are you holding in your hand?!"
Sheng Ning and his sister looked back in the direction of his voice.
Qi Wenyao was seen holding a portrait in one hand and a mermaid oil lamp in the other.
"Dad, you're lying to me. When I was little, you told me that our family was so poor we were almost starving, and you even shared half of my steamed bun with me."
“You said you didn’t want it, that you would rather starve to death than not raise me, your son.”
"At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I would definitely take good care of you. After all, you raised me by yourself and you are an old man. It was not easy for you."
"But you lied to me!!!"
