Jiang Yuan was slightly taken aback. She was prepared for Xia Yeming to make an offer, but she didn't expect him to say that he would give it to her as a gift.
“Mr. Xia, I cannot accept a reward without merit,” Jiang Yuan said.
This hairpin is a fine piece. Even if it's not from a thousand years ago, just looking at its texture and luster tells you it could fetch a good price.
She felt guilty for accepting the hairpin for no reason.
“Master Jiang helped remove the evil energy from the box, so how can it be said that he did nothing wrong?” Xia Yeming said with a squinty smile.
"Furthermore, Master Jiang must have been in great danger at that time, right?"
“Master Jiang protected the box and the hairpin inside even in a dangerous situation, which shows that he will be able to protect and cherish the hairpin in the future. Rather than keeping it here as a research object, it is better to give it to someone who truly loves hairpins.”
"How about I do Master Jiang a favor?"
As Xia Yeming spoke, he picked up the kettle and poured water into the teapot, then scooped up a spoonful of tea leaves from the side and put them into the teapot.
Lift the kettle and pour hot water evenly over the tea leaves. As the tea leaves unfurl, immediately pour the water out of the kettle.
Then, the warm water was poured into the tea pitcher for brewing.
In the blink of an eye, a cup of fragrant tea was handed to Jiang Yuan.
The movements were smooth and fluid, executed in one go.
Jiang Yuan knew that Xia Yeming was referring to the time when she was trapped in the killing formation.
“Master Jiang, Mr. Xia’s offer is very kind, please accept it,” Li Chengdao, who was standing to the side, also advised.
Whatever Master Jiang takes a liking to is a blessing for that thing!
Furthermore, if the hairpin from a thousand years ago were left with Master Jiang, it might even develop spiritual energy over time.
Everything in the world has a spirit.
Like flowers, plants, and trees, if they have high talent and absorb nutrients well, and with the passage of time, they may be able to cultivate themselves into spirits.
Even inanimate objects like stones can cultivate spiritual energy.
Although the chances of it becoming a spirit are low, at least there's a chance.
If this hairpin can cultivate spiritual energy, then that would be its greatest fortune.
“I might need to trouble Master Jiang again in the future,” Xia Yeming said when he saw Jiang Yuan hesitate.
"Since it is Mr. Xia's kind offer, then I will accept it."
"Thank you, Mr. Xia."
Seeing Xia Yeming's insistence, Jiang Yuan did not refuse again.
If Xia Yeming ever needs her help in the future, she will definitely help him.
Of course, she wouldn't do anything illegal or against social morality.
However, judging from Xia Yeming's appearance, he wouldn't do such a thing.
"Master Jiang, you're too kind."
"This hairpin suits Master Jiang very well. I can't imagine how good Master Jiang would look if he wore it."
Xia Yeming continued.
Jiang Yuan was taken aback.
Should I wear it?
She only thought about keeping it with her, never about wearing it.
However, wearing it seems not so bad.
“Mr. Xia will see it someday,” Jiang Yuan replied with a smile, snapping out of her reverie.
"Come on, eat, everyone, eat quickly," Li Chengdao said hurriedly after they finished discussing business.
Master Jiang must be hungry.
She's so thin, she needs to eat more.
Xia Yeming gestured for him to enter, "Master Jiang, please."
After saying that, Xia Yeming also picked up his chopsticks.
Jiang Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with Xia Yeming, picked up a piece of fish in vinegar and started eating.
After finishing the meal, Li Chengdao was particularly reluctant to leave.
As Li Chengdao saw Jiang Yuan off at the restaurant, he finally couldn't help but speak, "Master Jiang."
Jiang Yuan stopped and looked at Li Chengdao, who was hesitating.
"Master Li, please speak," Jiang Yuan said.
Just by looking at Li Chengdao's expression, you can tell he has something to say, but he's struggling to find the right words.
"Excuse me...excuse me, may I have a friend slot on Master Jiang's WeChat?" Li Chengdao asked hesitantly, sounding somewhat embarrassed.
Instead of sending a private message and waiting anxiously for Jiang Yuan's reply, it's better to just ask directly.
That way, he wouldn't wake up every day and immediately open Pingyin (a Chinese live streaming platform) to check if Jiang Yuan had replied to him, or spend all his time glued to his phone watching live streams, anxiously waiting for Jiang Yuan to respond.
He was like a waiting stone, hoping and waiting every day.
"I'm afraid that if I don't understand something in the future, I won't be able to find anyone to ask. If we add each other as friends, I can ask Master Jiang in the future," Li Chengdao explained, afraid that Jiang Yuan would misunderstand.
If Jiang Yuan hadn't appeared, he could have asked his master about the questions he didn't understand.
But then Jiang Yuan appeared. Not only him, but even his master now watches Jiang Yuan's live stream every day.
When his master saw the live stream of the Kumanthong, he was also puzzled as to how Jiang Yuan managed to possess the body remotely.
Nowadays, his master can't answer many of his questions, and even keeps mentioning Master Jiang in his ear.
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan nodded without hesitation.
She agreed so quickly that Li Chengdao found it hard to believe.
You just agreed so easily?
Didn't you even hesitate for a moment?
Li Chengdao was deeply moved. He had originally thought that Master Jiang would hesitate, but he hadn't expected this...
"Didn't we add each other as friends?" Jiang Yuan took out her phone and looked at Li Chengdao, who was still standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but ask.
Li Chengdao snapped out of his daze, frantically pulled out his phone, and tremblingly scanned Jiang Yuan's QR code.
The moment he added her as a friend, Li Chengdao was excited, his eyes filled with joy.
He finally became one of Master Jiang's friends!
He no longer has to painstakingly wait for the private messages from Pingyin's backstage!
Sure enough, as long as you are hardworking and persistent, God will not let you down!
"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime."
"I hope that when we meet again, you will have become even more amazing."
Jiang Yuan looked at Li Chengdao and encouraged him.
She knew that Li Chengdao could still improve and become even more powerful; he just needed time.
A glint of light flashed in Li Chengdao's eyes, as if he hadn't expected Jiang Yuan to think so highly of him.
Encouraged, Li Chengdao nodded confidently, "I'll definitely surprise Master Jiang next time we meet!"
He will go back to his master now and cultivate diligently!
“Your Dao heart is still somewhat unstable. You can recite the calming mantra when you have free time,” Jiang Yuan said.
Although his mindset has changed a lot, his Dao heart is still somewhat unstable, and he can cultivate to consolidate it.
In the future, if you encounter demons, monsters, or evil spirits, you will be able to remain calm and will not be misled by them.
"Yes!" Li Chengdao answered earnestly, keeping Jiang Yuan's words in mind.
Master Jiang personally gave you guidance; only a fool wouldn't listen!
Not only do you have to listen, you have to read it aloud!
Once he gets back, he should recite it immediately, twice a day!
"One should not be impatient in cultivation; one must take it slowly. Being eager for quick success will only harm oneself," Jiang Yuan continued.
Many people fail to achieve their goals in cultivation, their resolve wavers, or they fall into demonic possession, all because they are impatient for quick success and instant benefits.
People like Yi Changsheng gradually lost themselves because they were too eager for quick success and instant benefits.
He wanted too much, and he could no longer satisfy his desires, so he went astray.
“Yes, Master Jiang, I will keep your words in mind!” Li Chengdao replied.
"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded, said goodbye to Xia Yeming, and then got into a taxi to go to Xiao Yong'an's courier station.
