How come these siblings are here?
Ning Zhishui was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them, and then he came forward and smiled at them and nodded, "You are here too. How is Qiao Qian's health?"
Zhong Qiaoqian was a few years younger than Ning Zhishui. The last few times Ning Zhishui saw her, she was wilted, but today she was obviously more energetic.
"Okay, I haven't had time to formally thank you yet." Qiao Xi grinned widely, "My brother also said that if I have the chance, I must express my gratitude to you. I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
She was seriously ill before and had no strength to speak, but she remembered Ning Zhishui's appearance.
"You're welcome, that'll be fine." Ning Zhishui nodded, "Where are you going?"
"My brother said he would take me to eat fish." Qiao Qian was embarrassed. "Originally, we came to Xiaochiyangtan just to eat fish. Who knew I would have an accident... What if I left without eating fish? Didn’t you suffer in vain?”
"It makes sense." Ning Zhishui laughed.
Zhong Qiaonan had been watching her talking to her sister, and now she spoke, looking at Ning Chuanzhu with a smile, "Is this fellow Taoist Ning the elder brother of fellow Taoist Ning? Why don't you two go together? I heard that such delicious fish We won’t be able to eat for a few days, and everything in the pond is almost gone.”
After saying that, he patted Qiao Qian Zhong on the head and said, "Call someone."
"Hello, Brother Ning." Zhong Qiaoqian called out sheepishly.
Ning Chuanzhu had already heard what Ning Zhishui said about the Zhong family.
Ning Zhishui took the initiative to say that he felt that everyone was in the same inn and would probably meet again, so that the elder brother would not be confused when the time came, so it was better to inform them in advance.
No, just use it.
Ning Zhishui smiled, but secretly glanced at Ning Chuanzhu.
[Don’t agree to come together, brother! I don't want to get too close to them. 】
[I don’t know if my brother can understand my eyes...]
"I heard that my little sister mentioned your situation. Congratulations on your recovery." Ning Chuanzhu curled his lips and saluted the two of them, "But we won't get together later because we have other things to do."
Ning Zhishui breathed a sigh of relief.
The Zhong brothers and sisters were a little disappointed, but they didn't force it. After saying hello, they separated.
Ning Chuanzhu waited until the two of them were out of sight, then asked Ning Zhishui, "Why do you avoid them?"
Ning Zhishui was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
[How did the elder brother figure it out? 】
[Did I show it so obviously? Did Zhong Qiaonan also see it? 】
[Forget it, just come out if you see it. 】
"Can I still not understand the look in your eyes?" Ning Chuan asked with a smile.
Of course, he couldn't tell by looking at him. As for how she knew it... I don't need to know, little sister.
Ning Zhishui let out a breath.
She didn't explain, she just stayed silent.
Ning Chuanzhu looked at Ning Zhishui, thoughtfully.
He sensitively discovered that the younger sister's attitude towards this person was different, unlike the way she treated someone whom she met by chance.
But if it's someone important, why do you need to avoid it?
Thinking of his little sister's rebirth, Ning Chuanzhu suddenly had a guess in his mind -
Could it be that this Zhong Qiaonan knew his little sister in his previous life?
They know each other, but they don't want to continue their fate in this life. It seems that the two of them have enmity... But if there is really enmity, the little sister will not save that Zhong Qiaoqian.
Gee, this relationship is a bit complicated.
Ning Chuanzhu circled these corners very quickly in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.
"If you don't like someone, just avoid him. If you are more indifferent, he won't be asking for trouble," he said.
Ning Zhishui opened his mouth and just hummed.
[Actually, it’s not that I don’t like it. 】
[But it is right to stay away, and the debt of favor should be as small as possible. 】
Ning Chuanzhu raised his eyebrows, seeming to understand something.
"Go back to the inn?" he asked.
"No, let's go back." Ning Zhishui said.
She wanted to go back to her sect and take a dip in jade silk when she went back.
Now that I have obtained the spiritual object, there is no need to stay here for a long time. Brother, I can go back as soon as possible to refine my spiritual power and stabilize my cultivation.
"good."
The two went to check out the room. While Ning Chuanzhu was checking out, Ning Zhishui thought of something and sent a message to Dongfang Jing to inform her of her departure.
"Okay, have a safe journey. I also have to go to Cangqingzhou for something. See you when I come back."
Ning Zhishui felt strange when he heard his voice transmission.
See you again?
The reason why she took the initiative to inform her whereabouts was because Dongfang Jing mentioned that he would be here for the next two days when they parted, and she felt it was polite to inform him.
But Dongfang Jing actually said goodbye when he came back. What did he mean?
Ning Zhishui didn't reply to him again. Seeing that his elder brother had checked out of the room, he left the place with him.
Both of them chose the teleportation array when they returned. Although it cost some money, it was fast and safe.
After saying goodbye to his eldest brother in the teleportation hall, Ning Zhishui returned to Xianlai Sect alone.
This time when he went to the foot of the mountain to give Touyusi a bath, Ning Zhishui chose a vast place very carefully.
Fortunately, I didn’t meet that pair of “senior brothers and sisters” again today.
Ning Zhishui contacted Hua Jiaqing before returning to the sect. She had already settled her parents in the Xianlai Sect's market, but she was not here for the time being and had gone to a neighboring city to buy medicinal materials.
It is said that the last two medicinal materials on the list are missing, and they will be collected soon. When they are collected, they will come back to the market.
After Ning Zhishui found out, he didn't rush her and went back to the sect directly.
"Master, look what delicious food I brought you?"
When Ning Zhishui went back, he met Chang Yin first, and then he laid out the things he bought in Yuge City and Little Chiyang Pond.
There are cassocks bought from Yuge City, some special food, and a jar of wine.
"It's hard for me, my disciple, to still think about me."
Changyin's eyes lit up after seeing it, he said with a smile, and then he took the fish cake and ate it, "Well...it's really good."
None of the things are expensive, but it is precisely because of this that he is happy, because these are full of sincerity.
Changyin has no children, and his eldest disciple is not around. Now that he has the filial piety of his younger disciple, he actually feels like he has children and grandchildren around his knees.
"No matter where my disciple goes from now on, he will never forget to bring something back to his master." Ning Zhishui said with a smile.
Changyin was very happy, and then asked her about her gains from this line of work.
Ning Zhishui picked out what he could talk about and told some stories about what he had seen on the road. Changyin listened very attentively.
"You're saying that the fish in Xiaochiyang Lake have become extremely fresh and tender recently?"
When he heard this, his heart moved.
Ning Zhishui nodded, "That's right. I ate it, and it was indeed very good. By the way, Master, this paper bag contains grilled fish. I don't know if it will lose its taste after so long..."
Changyin opened the paper bag and tasted it, then his expression became abnormal, "If my teacher guessed correctly, then a spiritual creature may be born in Little Chiyang Pond."
