Chapter 36
June 13, 2017 at the afternoon
Wang Jiu was very sorry that he couldn't get what he wanted from Li Tianya.
Before he had time to try to train Li Tianya and dig out useful information from his brain, he was forcibly taken away from the old man's secluded forest cottage and came to Lu Xin's tea room.
"Okay, don't play anymore. Dad has been injured in his soul and can't stand you doing this! After a while, he will be more conscious and I'll take you to see him again... But don't have too much hope. His memory is getting worse and worse now, and he can barely remember his close relatives, and even his fairy sword skills have begun to forget. I'm afraid that the prehistoric history has been completely forgotten."
Wang Jiu asked strangely: "Li Tianya doesn't remember it, Li Fengyun is not interested in remembering it. Wouldn't the historical heritage of the Li family be interrupted?"
Lu Xin explained: "There is no need to worry about this. Every few decades, there will be high-level meetings between the seven major families of the three sects and the seven families who exchange and complete these historical fragments. These history does not belong to any single family or force, but the treasures of the entire Xiangzhou. Therefore, even if any family occasionally loses their own historical fragments, other families will help to complete them. At least in this regard, there is no conflict of interest."
Wang Jiu asked: "In other words, I will ask other family leaders, the same is true?"
Lu Xin thought about it and said, "At present, the one who preserves the most complete historical fragments should be the Zhao family in Jinyu City, except for the Holy Sect, but the Holy Sect has always been out of the world, and the contemporary heads of the Zhao family are not easy to deal with... Forget it, I will pay attention to you if you have the chance in the future."
After saying that, Lu Xin handed over all the gifts Li Tianya gave her, including the 100,000 spirit stones, to Wang Jiu.
"Please hand these over to Qingming."
Wang Jiu wrote: "These 100,000 spirit stones are yours."
"I don't need it!" Lu Xin glared at Wang Jiu and was about to turn around and leave. However, before leaving, he was still worried. He turned around and said seriously.
"Although Fengyun believes in your life experience, I don't have the open-minded mindset as much as him. Until now, I am still skeptical about your affairs. If you dare to hurt that girl Qingming, I swear that you must be crushed to pieces and your soul will scatter!"
After saying that, Lu Xin frowned, feeling something was wrong, and then added: "But don't misunderstand that I am caring for her. On the contrary, she is Shen Yue'e's daughter. I hate her so much that I wish she could not grow tall for the rest of her life!"
Wang Jiu wrote: "Are you like you?"
Lu Xinteng jumped up: "It's not that I can't grow taller! I just... developed late, and the physical needs of practicing martial arts, so... in short, I remember it for me, I hate her!"
After that, Lu Xin did not say a word, and directly spread out the golden crow wings and forced Wang Jiufei to leave the Li family courtyard and come to Shenyuan in the east of the city.
In the yard, Shen Qingming looked angry.
"Where have you been?! Didn't you ask you to take care of the house? As a result, the gate of the yard was wide open when I came back. What if the people from the Li family took this opportunity to come and steal things!?"
Wang Jiu glanced at the barren yard and asked, "What are you stealing? Are you eating the leftover wild vegetables in the kitchen?"
"...It's not impossible." Shen Qingming argued strongly, "Without those wild vegetables, I will lose food, and then I may surrender to the Li family and admit defeat, and lose my dignity from then on."
"So that's it, wild vegetables are your dignity."
Chen Qingming snorted: "Yes! I am content with poverty and will talk about it! I would rather chew bitterness than be independent and self-reliant, and never bow to that family!"
Wang Jiu deeply praised this kind of strong spirit.
So when Chen Qingming ran to the kitchen to cook wild vegetable soup, Wang Jiu took the many spirit stone treasures given to him by Li Tianya and ordered his own takeaway.
During dinner, Chen Qingming pinched his nose and imagined himself eating Buddha jumping over the wall, while looking at the delicacies on Wang Jiu’s table in disbelief.
"Wait, didn't the 15,000 spirit stones be returned before? Where did you find the money?!"
While absorbing the beauty, Wang Jiu said, "This was originally the New Year's money given to you by Li Tianya, but you just said that you should be independent and self-reliant and chew bitterness. I think you should not be happy to use this money to order takeaway, so you don't have the portion you have."
"Li Tianya!?" Chen Qingming was shocked and forgot to pinch his nose. Suddenly, a bitter and fishy smell filled her mouth, which made her feel nauseous and almost kneel on the ground.
Wang Jiu looked at the girl's miserable situation and thoughtfully poured a cup of hot water.
"Thank you, thank you! Then tell me everything that happened today!"
Wang Jiu pondered for a moment and briefly described what Chen Qingming had experienced after running away from home today.
However, even though his words were light, it was like countless divine thunders falling to the ground with a bang.
"My father and Lu Xin have been here!? They knew your identity, gave you the position of Guest Elder, and finally took you to see Li Tianya?!"
Chen Qingming said as he trembled as he spoke.
"You, are you leaving me?"
Wang Jiu was asked inexplicably by this question: "Why? Have you fallen into the cesspool?"
"Of course not!"
"Then why are you worried that I will leave you? Or do you eat a lot of carrots at noon?"
"I didn't eat anything at noon! And I almost fainted in front of my mother's grave after half of my Qi and blood were pumped by you! And can these two things be equivalent?!" Chen Qingming protested continuously for a wave of continuous emotions, and his emotions finally fell down. "But, they are much better than me in all aspects. Controlling the resources of a big family, no matter what you need, they can provide them. And I, I am just a little girl with average qualifications and understanding, with limited abilities, limited knowledge, and a bad temper. Any rational person will choose them."
Wang Jiu said, "But you are the one who wakes me up from my sleep."
"That was just a coincidence."
"That was a priceless coincidence."
"I have said a long time ago that I don't need you to repay your kindness."
"I've said it long ago, I need it."
Chen Qingming was silent for a long time and burst into laughter: "Why have you suddenly become so eloquent?"
"What can be said and done?" Wang Jiu had no idea what she was talking about.
"...Forget it, anyway, thank you." Chen Qingming finished speaking, stunned for a while, and said, "But, the reaction between father and Lu Xin was so strange. He wrote a letter to his father to apply for an independent portal yesterday, and he agreed without hesitation. He probably wanted me to leave the Li family early, so why did he come to him again today?"
Wang Jiu also couldn't understand this issue. After thinking deeply and meticulously, he spoke: "Maybe their indifference is just a disguise, and the harsh treatment is also to motivate you to strive for progress. The two of them still care about you deep down, but they are not good at expressing themselves. When they learn that you are leaving the family, on the one hand, they must respect your wishes, and on the other hand, they also hope to win back their family affection."
"...Ah?" Chen Qingming looked at Wang Jiu with his eyes squinted, "What are you doing?"
Wang Jiu said: "I am providing you with a reasonable speculation."
"Since you met, I have heard you tell many stories. If you are ranked incredible, the battle between the Immortal and Demon in Jiuzhou ranked third, and your magical skills surpassed the Heavenly Beng Realm, and the words you just said can ranked first!"
Wang Jiu thought about it and had to admit: "It seems a bit far-fetched, what do you think?"
Chen Qingming said: "Maybe I am coming to mock me for being overestimated and being destined to accomplish nothing if I leave my family? But after encountering your unexpected factor, I simply deviated from the topic."
"Well, there is a certain reason." Wang Jiu thought, feeling that this speculation was not unreasonable. Although Lu Xin threatened him not to hurt Chen Qingming before leaving, she herself said that she must not regard this threat as care for Chen Qingming. Since there is no intention of care, it seems reasonable for her and Li Fengyun to mock her daughter who is overestimating her abilities.
"Then do you have to return this pile of things?" Wang Jiu pointed to the pile of miscellaneous gifts in his hand.
"Did grandpa give me these?" Chen Qingming walked up and looked at the messy but undoubtedly valuable gifts, and couldn't help but smile on his face, "He is really a good person and loves me very much. When I was young, every time he saw him, he would take out a lot of messy things from his clothes to serve as gifts for me. Once he even stuffed the keys and Li family tree to me randomly. It was also that time that everyone confirmed that he was too eager to practice, hurting his soul and was a little confused..."
"I heard you say that, I still have some attachment to the family."
Chen Qingming said: "How could it be that not? After all, I have lived here for more than ten years, but since I have made a choice, I have to stick to it."
"Well, at least this persistence is worthy of praise. As the master, I will accompany you all the time."
"Hehe, Ajiu, thank you."
Wang Jiu inexplicably: "Who is Ajiu?"
"...What do you think?" Chen Qingming shrugged helplessly, walked to Wang Jiu's side, and then reached out to grab the takeaway food in front of him.
Wang Jiu lifted the exercise array at a speed as fast as lightning and moved the dining plate away.
Chen Qingming said in surprise: "What are you doing?!"
Wang Jiu said, "I'm going to ask what you are doing?"
"Eat, I'm almost starving to death!"
"Didn't you cook wild vegetable soup?"
"You! Do you want to eat delicacies by yourself and see me eating the bitter and astringent wild vegetable soup?!"
Wang Jiu said: "Since you have made your own choice, you must stick to it. Your persistence is the greatest advantage, and I will help you maintain this advantage."
