Chapter 359: When is the engagement banquet?
Translator: 549690339
PEI Ling sized up old Madam Ji, who was afraid of being impolite and had specially asked someone to help her out to accompany her. The other party was dressed in fine clothes and had a well-hidden fear in her eyes.
Even though her face was old and her hair was gray, her eyes still had the beauty of her younger days. Ji Shuang ‘er was 70 – 80% similar to her, and it was obvious that they were related by blood.
However, from the old Madam’s point of view, although she had a few grandsons and granddaughters, none of them were called Ji Shuang ‘er.
Seeing this, PEI Ling had originally wanted to return Ji Shuang ‘er’s body to the Ji family for burial. But now, there was no longer any meaning to that.
Moreover, li wumei had said that Ji Shuang ‘er’s corpse was strange. Even he, a foundation building cultivator, couldn’t deal with it. If he handed it over to this mortal family, although they didn’t dare to refuse, it wouldn’t be a good thing.
Thus, PEI Ling left after a few casual words.
A moment later, he arrived at the kou family’s residence where kou sanlang was.
Even though the kou family’s status was slightly higher than the Ji family’s, they still received PEI Ling with great fear.
Just like the Ji family, they also didn’t remember kou sanlang at all.
&Quot; my family has eldest lang, second lang, fourth lang ... &Quot; the head of the kou family said cautiously. &Quot; but there has never been a third lang. &Quot;
“Why not?” PEI Ling muttered to himself, ” in the ranking, it can’t be that someone jumped one place for no reason, right? ”
The clan head of the kou clan was at a loss for a moment before saying with uncertainty, ” “Maybe it’s because I didn’t think xingsan was a good choice.”
As for why it wasn’t good, no one in the kou family could say for sure.
In short, kou sanlang was definitely not in their family.
When everyone thought so ...
It was as if PEI Ling was the one who remembered wrongly.
The situation of these two families was surprisingly similar to li wumei and Li hange’s inability to remember Li Yanling.
However, the Jiu Ali clan was one of the three major aristocratic families of the Zhong Kong sect, far from being comparable to these two mortal families.
The Ji family and the kou family would forget their blood relatives because of the weirdness of the pengya temple, but how could the Li family?
Other than that, PEI Ling also found out that Lanke city had been built for three hundred years.
The two core formation cultivators from the Pengxi temple were probably figures from more than three hundred years ago!
According to the clues that PEI Ling currently had, the strangeness of the pengya temple had appeared at least three hundred years ago.
Why was li Wushang so sure that he had only appeared a year ago?
With this thought in mind, PEI Ling left Lanke city and headed towards the mountains in the opposite direction of pengyi temple.
He found a forest full of spiritual Qi in the mountains where it was difficult for mortals to reach. He dug a big hole and put the whole crystal coffin in it. He covered it with soil and put in a few stabilizing, sealing, and concealing talismans. Finally, he took a big stone and cut it into the shape of a tombstone with knife Qi. Using his finger as a pen, he carved a line of large words on the tombstone: “Ji Shuang ‘er’s grave.”
PEI Ling set up the gravestone in front of the grave and set up some concealment and sturdy talismans nearby to prevent mortals or wild beasts from accidentally entering. After preventing the coffin from being accidentally opened, he left.
After returning to the Li clan’s encampment in Lanke city, PEI Ling had nothing to do, so he began to practice the [ burning night chapter ].
Three days passed in a flash.
After noon, PEI Ling had just finished his seizing cultivation when li hange’s voice entered his ears.”Junior Brother PEI, fifteenth uncle is looking for you.”
“Alright,” he said. PEI Ling immediately stood up.
As soon as he left the cultivation room, he saw li hange waiting at the door.
His complexion was ruddy, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit. He was no longer pale and weak like before.
“Senior Sister hange, have you fully recovered from your injuries?” PEI Ling immediately asked.
Li hange nodded slightly and explained with a smile, ” &Quot; I underestimated Zhou Miaoli back then. Fortunately, there are many secret medicines in the family, so it’s not difficult to recover. &Quot;
Seeing this, PEI Ling did not ask any more questions and followed her out.
A moment later, the two of them arrived at a flower Hall.
The hall was decorated luxuriously with green flowers and colorful bead curtains.
Li Wushang had changed into a robe with wide sleeves. He had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw them coming, he laughed and said,”PEI Ling, when Zhou Miaoli and su zhenhe’s men attacked you, I’ve already gotten Zhou Miaoli’s compensation for you!”
As he spoke, he took out a storage bag and handed it to PEI Ling.
PEI Ling quickly took it and was shocked when he saw it.
The middle and middle-grade spirit stones were piled up like a mountain, and there were even quite a few high-grade spirit stones. There were so many of them that he couldn’t even count them all at once!
“These spirit stones are only part of the compensation.” Li wumei waited for him to finish looking at the storage bag before he continued, ” the real value is actually these three land deeds. &Quot;
As he said that, he took out three contracts of a strange texture and drawn with countless runes and formation patterns. He placed them on the table and gently pushed them towards PEI Ling.
PEI Ling picked it up and took a look. The first contract was for a medicine shop in the ten thousand fathoms sea market.
The second one was a beast farm in a place called night Valley.
The third one was a mine in the Boluo mountain range.
“Many thanks, senior li!” When PEI Ling saw this, he immediately bowed.
Medicine shops, beast farms, and ore veins were all rich resource points, and they provided a stable income in the long run!
If li wumei didn’t personally negotiate with him, Zhou Miaoli might have compensated him according to the sect rules, but she definitely wouldn’t have compensated him so much.
After all, Zhou Miaoli was one of the three core disciples of the sage sect, and she had the Fuguang Sihong clan behind her.
If it was not for the fact that Madam li was standing behind PEI Ling, PEI Ling would be helpless if the other party casually threw ten low-grade spirit stones over to settle The Grudge.
Wasn’t that how the blood contract was signed?
PEI Ling remembered very clearly that when the hall Master of supervision had promised to investigate the matter of Luquan City, he had said that he would give the Li clan an explanation ... Yes, an explanation to the nine ah li clan, not to him, PEI Ling!
Li Wushang nodded slightly and continued,”These three places have good resources. However, you still have to put cultivation as your priority. You don’t have to be greedy for rich production and personally oversee things, which will delay your future.”
“Just send a few trusted subordinates to act as the host.”
“Even if wealth is tempting, it’s harmless to be embezzled compared to one’s own strength.”
“Besides, with your cultivation and status, if the servants dare to be inattentive, you can just change them.”
“I understand!” PEI Ling nodded, quickly calculating in his heart.
Right now, he had very few subordinates that he could use.
Among them-Ouyang xianxing needed to take charge of the jiansang branch on his behalf, and he was afraid that he would not be able to split his attention.
In the entire inner sect, the only people he knew and could order around were Jin sumian, Dai Baishi, and Yan Yuming.
Jin sumian was the most suitable pill refiner to handle the medicine shop in the ten thousand fathoms sea market.
As for the beast farm in nightfall Valley, he could ask Dai Baishi and Yan Yuming if they were willing to go.
The final mine at Mount bolo ...
Hehe, Zheng Jingshan was the most experienced in mining.
When he returned to the sect, he would look for Senior Sister li and see if he could get Zheng Jingshan to continue mining!
PEI Ling was thinking in his heart when he heard li wumei say,”Now that this matter has been settled, if it’s convenient for you, we will immediately set off to return to the sect.”
“Yes!” He quickly composed himself.
???
A few days later, a huge cloud slowly flew into the inner gate of the Zhong Kong sect. PEI Ling was put down not far from a verdant mountain.
On the cloud, li Wushang, who was sitting cross-legged, nodded slightly,”I’ll send you off here. I still have something important to deal with back at the clan as soon as possible,”
“Many thanks, senior li.” PEI Ling bowed and said, ” I will definitely cultivate diligently and not let down the Li clan’s expectations. &Quot;
“Go,” li Wushang nodded.
After saying that, the cloud slowly rose and disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this, PEI Ling did not stay any longer. He used the [ blood ghost escape technique ] and rushed towards cuilei mountain.
After a while, he returned to his cave.
As soon as he entered the door, before he even reached the main hall, he heard a series of dull “Dong Dong Dong” sounds.
PEI Ling was puzzled. He immediately retracted his aura and walked in quietly.
Very quickly, he saw Yu Xue Zhao arrogantly sitting on the main seat of the main hall, looking down from above with an insufferably arrogant appearance. His fur was much smoother than before, showing that he had been living a very comfortable life these days.
What surprised PEI Ling was that the Fox demon’s aura had already reached the middle stage of the foundation building realm.
And on the ground below, Dai Baishi was currently kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Yu Xue Zhao.
Thump thump thump ...
After kowtowing dozens of times, Dai Baishi finally stopped in a daze and respectfully said, ” &Quot; branch master, I’ve found the whereabouts of the transformation pill. In two months, there will be an auction in the market of the ten thousand fathoms sea. &Quot;
Hearing this, Yu Xue Zhao let out a yawn. In the main hall, the smell of medicine mixed with many natural treasures immediately drifted out.
It said in a calm tone, ” “Very good. Next time you see me, you only need to kowtow fifty times.”
“Thank you, branch master!” When Dai Baishi heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he respectfully kowtowed again.
Yu Xue Zhao nodded,”you may leave.”
“Yes!” Dai Baishi replied.
He immediately left the main hall respectfully. When he passed by the real PEI Ling, he did not notice the latter’s existence at all.
Dai Baishi had just taken his leave when Yan Yuming walked in.
“Subordinate greets branch master!” Yan Yu Ming said loudly as he kneeled on the ground with a “plop” sound, paying his respects to Yu Xue Zhao.
Thump thump thump ...
After kowtowing a hundred times, Yan Yu Ming said, ” &Quot; branch head, I have two matters here that I can’t decide on my own. I can only ask branch head to make a decision personally! &Quot;
“The first thing is that Miao Chengyang has just sent a letter of challenge to you, saying that he wants to fight you in the arena of life and death ...”
“Ignore him!” Yu Xue Zhao snorted and interrupted him without a care. He then asked, ” what about the second item? ”
Yan Yuming coughed and said in a low voice, ” “The Jin family has sent over another batch of treasures and pills. The quality is even better than the last batch ... However, they want to know when would be the best time to hold the branch head’s engagement party with Junior Sister Jin sumian?”
When Yu Xue Zhao heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but immediately after, he very skillfully imitated PEI Ling’s tone and said, ” “Let them wait a few more days! I’ve already signed the marriage contract anyway, are you still afraid that I’ll go back on my word?”
