Shanhai Tower, in the quiet room on one side of the lobby.
The middle-aged steward was standing next to the Grand Master's chair with a look of embarrassment on his face, reporting in a low voice to the old man with white beard who was sitting there.
"Mr. Luo, those sword cultivators refused to accept our spirit stones and said that I was insulting them and the sword cultivators in the world."
"Are you given too little spiritual stone?" Luo Tingzong asked, holding a tea cup.
"This is the number." The middle-aged steward gestured.
"That's not a lot," Luo Tingzong thought, "Our ancestors often said that there is no money to settle injustices in this world. If there is, it must be because there is not enough money."
Luo Tingzong put down the tea cup, "Those sword cultivators refuse to accept the spiritual stones. What about the spiritual minerals for making swords, the spiritual springs for sword tempering, and the scabbards for raising swords? If that doesn't work, take the dusty sword from the storehouse. Let them pick the two bundles themselves.”
"It's just to let them lose a game to our young master, but it's not to cost their lives, let's talk about it! The benefits are enough, show us the courage of Shanhailou."
"good."
Luo Tingzong looked outside the building with expectation in his eyes.
"After this matter is done, our young master may be willing to stay at home and help our Xie family develop branches after realizing his wish to be on the sword list."
"Ancestor is also able to stop his obsession and plan to transform into a god, so don't be afraid of spending money. Compared with the descendants of the Xie family and the ancestor's transformation into a god, this is just a drop of money."
"Mr. Luo, the young master is here, and he has brought a female cultivator with him."
A waiter came to report in a hurry. Luo Tingzong jumped up from his chair and twisted his waist so much that he gasped in pain.
"Where is she? Are you sure she is a woman? A real woman?"
"There is a pretty female cultivator just outside. She seems to be a fellow disciple of the young master."
Luo Tingzong pressed his waist and hurriedly ran out. It's a woman, as long as it's a woman.
After all these years of hard work, the young master of his family just wasn't interested in women. The ancestor almost suspected whether the young master of his family liked men.
It's a pity that the young master of his family is immune to all poisons and it is too difficult to administer medicine, otherwise why would it be so troublesome.
Shanhai Tower lobby.
Jiang Yuebai raised his head, amazed by the magnificent decoration here.
"Xie Jingshan, is the two-foot-tall three-legged golden toad in the center of the lobby made of a whole piece of high-grade water spirit stone? It's too bold~"
"My grandfather said that gathering water brings wealth, so the ornaments in the lobby are basically made of water-spirited stones. There is a large array of flowing water. Hey, hey, hey, you just need to touch it. There are so many people watching."
Jiang Yuebai: (﹃*)
I really want to hug them all~~~
"Eh? By the way, why are there no alien slaves in your building... eh, buddy?"
Jiang Yuebai looked around and saw no other strangers except those brought in by the guests. In Kongfang City, almost every shop in Kongfang City had slaves of aliens working.
Xie Jingshan said, "My grandfather set an iron rule that no one is allowed to enslave foreigners in any Shanhai Tower. Most of the assistants, stewards and shopkeepers in my shop are orphans my grandfather adopted from various places and were slowly raised."
"No wonder your grandfather was able to build such a large family business by himself. He was indeed a man of great humility, wisdom and courage."
Jiang Yuebai did not hesitate to praise.
"Oh, this little friend has really good eyesight. Our ancestors would be so happy if they heard what you said."
Luo Tingzong came over with an eager face and looked at Jiang Yuebai with shining eyes.
"My young master, you have such an outstanding classmate, why didn't you bring him back earlier? It would have made my ancestor worry in vain."
Xie Jingshan's heart skipped a beat, it was broken!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuebai gave Xie Jingshan a calm look.
Jiang Yuebai took a brief look at the old man in front of her. She felt that he was around the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. She bowed her hands with a well-behaved look on her face.
"Hello, senior, I am Jiang Yuebai, Lu Nazhi's Taoist companion. Xie Jingshan and I share the same goals and are close friends. I have always been helped by him before, but I have never visited him to say thank you. I am rude to you, this junior."
In one sentence, Luo Tingzong was petrified on the spot and Xie Jingshan was stunned on the spot.
Lu Nazhi's Taoist companion? Like-minded with Xie Jingshan?
It’s over! His young master really likes the same sex!
Jiang Yuebai secretly raised his eyebrows at Xie Jingshan, as if asking, "Am I very smart?"
It prevents others from misunderstanding her relationship with Xie Jingshan, and can also help Xie Jingshan get out of trouble, perfect!
"Ahem~" Xie Jingshan clenched his fists and coughed, gritting his teeth and admitting, "Yes, we are like-minded confidants."
Luo Tingzong's smile gradually disappeared, "Young master, you are busy, my ancestor has something to do, I will leave first."
Luo Tingzong left like a storm, and Xie Jingshan glanced around. The waiters and stewards who stopped everywhere quickly continued their work, pretending not to hear anything.
"Jiang Yuebai, my whole life's reputation has been completely ruined by you!" Xie Jingshan gritted his teeth.
"Then you go and have eighty-one children."
"…………"
Xie Jingshan was speechless, and Jiang Yuebai called a guy to handle his own affairs.
"What on earth should I do?"
Xie Jingshan scratched his head in distress. His grandfather had been at the peak of Yuanying for a long time. Recently, he felt that it was difficult to suppress his cultivation and he felt like he was about to become a god.
But the obsession in his heart has not gone away, and he is worried that his father and he will not be able to defend Shanhai Tower. It is absolutely impossible to successfully transform into a god with such a state of mind.
Therefore, my grandfather has recently been sorting out his own affairs, making plans and arranging everything after he leaves.
If he hadn't been worried about his grandfather, he would have run far away, but if he had to give birth to a child for his grandfather, he couldn't do it.
In this world, the only one who could make his grandfather compromise and change his mind was his mother.
Xie Jingshan walked to the counter and called out to a young waiter.
The guy trembled all over and said quickly, "Young master, I will get married next month."
Xie Jingshan was stunned, "What does it mean for you to marry me...!! Your young master, I am a normal man, don't think so wildly! I just want to ask you if you have any news about my mother recently."
The clerk shook his head, "But I've been staying in the building lately, asking my wife three or five times a day if she's back. I'm still in the study on the top floor."
"Does my father know..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Jingshan's eyes narrowed suddenly when he saw a woman carrying two swords appearing at the door of Shanhai Tower.
Slim-fitting purple skirt, rustling in the wind, handsome eyebrows and slitted eyes, looking forward to the destination, feeling a sense of joy and hatred.
"Xie Guihong, I'm back!"
"mother!"
Xie Jingshan burst into tears and rushed to the woman in a few steps.
"Who are you?" Ding Lanzhi stepped aside and frowned.
Xie Jingshan froze on the spot, his lips trembling, and his heart was broken.
"I'm Jingshan, mother~"
"Nonsense! I have only been away from home for a few years. When I left, my son Jingshan was like this..."
Ding Lanzhi gestured, high, low, high.
"Anyway, he couldn't walk at that time, and he was still holding on to his father's smelly shoes and chewing on them. How could he be... hmm in the blink of an eye?"
Xie Jingshan spread his hands and showed Ding Lanzhi the red mole on his palm.
"Mom, you have been away from home for twenty years. I was four years old when you left."
Ding Lanzhi was confused, "Twenty years? I feel like I haven't traveled many places. Are you really Jingshan? Are you so old all of a sudden?"
Xie Jingshan nodded vigorously, with runny nose and tears streaming down his face.
"Mom~ I miss you so much~~" Xie Jingshan stretched out his arms and hugged her.
"Lan Zhi!"
"Guihong!"
The person slipped under Xie Jingshan's arm, but Xie Jingshan held him in vain.
Turning around, his mother was hugging a middle-aged man with a beard and an elegant look.
The two of them hugged each other in public and never let go. Their affection was so sincere that the staff and guests in the building were moved.
Jiang Yuebai came out after handling his own affairs and happened to see all this.
She came to Xie Jingshan's side and said, "Those are your father and your mother? They have such a good relationship."
Xie Jingshan was as aggrieved as a child, looking helplessly at the two people who were clasping their hands and looking at each other affectionately. There was no room for anyone else in their eyes.
Jiang Yuebai patted Xie Jingshan on the shoulder, "I won't disturb your family reunion. Find out where Fang Mingyi often goes and find me."
"Besides, if you don't go there by yourself, your parents will probably not remember you for a while. Only children who can cry will get milk. Don't be too good in front of your parents. It's better to be more bearish."
Jiang Yuebai pushed Xie Jingshan, turned around and left Shanhai Tower.
It’s really enviable that my parents are still alive~
