Encountering the Bai Family Patriarch While Shopping with Ji Meng
Chapter 341 Encountering the Bai Family Patriarch While Shopping with Ji Meng
The Luo residence.
Luo Huaili sat in the main seat of the hall, feeling somewhat emotional.
Many things have happened recently, leaving him feeling unsettled.
The Luo family's calamity has passed; ultimately, they relied on the Gao family.
He did not feel any shame about it.
The Gao family gave them enough benefits, but asked for too little.
The only thing that made them uneasy was that they asked for far too little.
It's so little that it makes you uneasy, like something's missing.
But he couldn't say for sure what the future held. Things were already pretty good for now.
Therefore, what they need to do is to work hard to cultivate the next generation so that the new generation can support the Luo family. Nowadays, it is no exaggeration to say that the Luo family relies on Luo Xuan.
However, some time ago, Luo Xuan told him that perhaps things would turn around for the family.
He felt that his daughter had grown up and was starting to speak in riddles.
However, he didn't ask any more questions and quietly waited for a turning point. Unfortunately, several months passed, and no turning point appeared.
He stopped thinking about it.
Just as he decided not to think about it any longer, a servant informed him that someone was looking for him outside.
And it was a man I'd never seen before.
This surprised Luo Huaili, but he still let him in.
Soon, a voice came from outside the hall: "Big brother is becoming more and more like the head of the family."
His voice was calm, with a hint of a smile.
When the news reached Luo Huaili's ears, it was deafening and shocking.
He looked up abruptly and saw a middle-aged man.
She bears a resemblance to him, and their blood relation can be seen in their eyes and brows.
The other person stood there, their aura calm and unwavering, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth.
"Luo Jian?" Luo Huaili suddenly stood up, his voice trembling slightly. "Why are you back?"
As he spoke, he immediately looked around, quickly walked to Luo Jian's side, and lowered his voice, saying, "People from the sect could appear here at any time. Let's leave quickly before we're discovered."
He reached out to let Laro leave.
Luo Huaili's reaction surprised Luo Jian.
"Do you know where I've been all these years?" Luo Jian pressed down on the other person's hand, trying to calm him down.
Upon hearing this, Luo Huaili shook his head and said, "I've only heard about it, but I don't know the specifics."
Luo Jian sat down, his expression calm, and said, "Didn't you hear that I might come back?"
Luo Huaili was taken aback and said, "I have indeed heard that there will be changes in the family, so you mean my second brother?"
Luo Jian asked doubtfully, "You really knew?"
“My daughter knows some people in the sect, and I heard about it,” Luo Huaili said.
"Which daughter?" Luo Jian asked.
"Luo Xuan," Luo Huaili said immediately, "Let's talk as we leave."
However, Luo Jian stopped the other person and said in a calm tone, "I came back with a normal identity, there are no problems. How has the Luo family been doing these years? But no matter what, you will have an easier time."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "There's no need to worry too much about the Fang family or the Li family."
Luo Huaili was stunned for a moment.
Neither the Fang nor the Li families need to worry?
That is the primordial spirit?
After that, Luo Jian told Luo Huaili most of the things.
The conclusion drawn is that the Luo family has a powerful being with a primordial spirit.
No longer do I have to live under someone else's roof like before.
"Luo Xuan isn't a disciple of a sect. If she stays there, will she marry the youngest son of the Gao family?" Luo Jian asked.
Luo Huaili shook his head: "Their relationship hasn't reached that stage yet."
“It has indeed been tough on her.” Luo Jian said after a moment of silence, “Go and ask her if she wants to come with me to the Lingyue Sect. Her age and cultivation level are sufficient for her to enter the Lingyue Sect.”
"If I successfully form my core, I can even try to enter the Misty Cloud Sect's assessment."
"As long as you pass, you can enter the inner sect of the Misty Cloud Sect."
“With my guidance, she is not without opportunities.”
Luo Jian looked at Luo Huaili and continued, "As for the Gao family, I will personally visit them, and I think they will not refuse."
"Furthermore, the two of them really don't have any more relationship."
"The Luo family wasn't exactly treacherous."
You don't need to feel guilty.
"Luo Xuan is just going to study, and she will return to the sect in a few years."
"So that she can meet a better version of herself."
Luo Huaili sighed, "I will inform her and see what her wishes are."
“Okay.” Luo Jian nodded. “Let’s see what she thinks.”
Normally, leaving him would be the best option.
At least with his protection in the future, the road ahead will not only be easier but also more secure.
-
Jiang Man sat on a chair in the courtyard, looking at the pastries on the table and couldn't help but sigh, "Does Miss Ji Meng eat these things every day?"
“Young master can come every day. I’ll cook delicious food for you and young lady. Otherwise, young lady hardly eats anything and has to feed the heavenly dogs.” Qingdai immediately said.
Jiang Man was taken aback for a moment, then urged Ji Meng to eat more and not waste the food.
The point is that it benefited the dog.
Such good pastries, and that dog ate them like garbage.
To waste such a precious resource.
Ji Meng pondered for a moment, then seemed to realize something and nodded emphatically: "I won't be too wasteful in the future."
Although I don't know what Ms. Himemu is going to do, as long as it's not a waste.
"Young Master Jiang wants this stone?" Ji Meng said, taking out a large stone and placing it on the ground.
The stone's surface was covered with densely packed ancient runes, emitting a faint spiritual light—it was the same Supreme Law from before.
Jiang Man emphasized, "It was what the sect needed. They said I dug it up after reporting it, and that the items belonged to the sect."
"What does Young Master Jiang intend to offer in exchange?" Ji Meng asked, resting her chin on her hand.
Jiang Man laughed and said, "A huge surprise."
Ji Meng asked curiously, "What big surprise?"
"I can't say for now, we'll have to wait a while," Jiang Man said mysteriously.
Ji Meng pondered for a moment and said, "Draw me a pancake?"
Jiang Man put the stone away and said seriously, "Miss Ji Meng will find out later; it's also a surprise related to the stone."
As Ji Meng watched the stone disappear, she said, "I heard that Young Master Jiang earned a lot of spiritual resources this time. Shouldn't you pay some interest on the stone? For example, treat me to something nice."
Jiang Man nodded immediately: "What would Miss Ji Meng like to eat?"
"At least two sesame seed cakes, right?" Ji Meng said.
Jiang Man frowned: "Isn't this a bit stingy? Shouldn't you add a meat bun?"
Ji Meng narrowed her eyes: "Young Master Jiang is really stingy. I said sesame seed cake and you said steamed bun. There's no difference at all."
Jiang Man stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk in the street and see what good food we can get."
Ji Meng stood up, a silver bell rang, and she nodded: "Go and take a look."
Then the two walked away.
Qingdai watched from behind with a blank expression.
She felt she should share her experience with the brilliant mind; she had suffered in prison and needed to eat something good.
She didn't take the huge surprise that her son-in-law and daughter mentioned to heart.
I wonder if Miss has taken this to heart.
Outer gate.
Jiang Man flew on his sword, carrying Ji Meng to the ground.
The sword light receded, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into his storage magic treasure.
"Why do we always have to go to the outer gate?" Ji Meng asked.
"Because there are many shops here," Jiang Man said.
There are many people outside the gate, so naturally there are many different kinds of things.
The inner sect is different; everyone is either on missions or cultivating, so their needs are not diverse and are very few.
So when it comes to eating and shopping, the outer gate is still better.
Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man questioningly and said, "Didn't you offend the peak master? Having more people is considered an advantage?"
Jiang Man nodded slightly: "That's true. For example, I know a friend who comes from an ordinary family, but he likes to walk with rich young men. He feels proud and satisfied because it makes him feel good."
"I'm actually quite similar to him. I'm happy to be with dazzling people, and naturally, the more people who see it, the better."
Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man and asked curiously, "Young Master Jiang, how many people have you said these kinds of things to?"
Jiang Man truthfully replied, "Two. The first one I met was at a lake, and I carried her back."
Ji Meng, who had paused, started walking again.
They then talked about Jiang Man's mission.
"Is the Luo family you mentioned still being followed?" Ji Meng asked.
Jiang Man immediately nodded and said, "Of course I'm concerned. That person should have gone back by now, and his family will also be quite different because of him."
"At least he won't have to live under someone else's roof, and his people will have better options. So I'm very curious to see what kind of change in Little Fatty's expression will occur in the end."
"Will Luo Xuan leave?" Ji Meng asked.
Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "Normally, we should leave. After all, Lingyue Sect is being rebuilt, and the recruitment of disciples is more lenient. Even young Foundation Establishment cultivators have a chance. There should be people from the outer sect going there."
Luo Xuan is not old and has the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment, making her perfectly suitable.
Moreover, with Luo Jian's help, the chances of forming the Golden Core are much greater.
It all depends on whether they can pass the sect's assessment after reaching the Golden Core stage.
If you pass, you might even be able to enter the inner sect of the sect for cultivation.
The leap was completed in an instant.
change destiny.
She gets nothing working as a clerk in the elixir shop.
-
At this moment, Luo Xuan indeed fell silent.
She stood behind the counter of the small shop, holding a letter from home.
She had already read the letter several times.
She didn't know how to reply to the letter.
My second uncle has indeed returned.
Not only did he return, but he also transformed into a powerful primordial spirit.
In Luoyun City, only the Fang family and the Li family are like this.
Her second uncle felt that she had done enough for the family, helping them through the most difficult time.
Therefore, we must cultivate ourselves.
If she goes to Lingyue Sect, she will have more resources and will also receive guidance from a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator.
The competition there isn't fierce, so obtaining the Golden Core qualification isn't difficult.
In the future, he will most likely enter the inner sect of the sect.
It's almost a certainty that the Golden Elixir Ancestor will be here.
A bright future is also the most secure future.
Everyone longs for it.
What will you gain by staying?
She watched Gao Yao busy at work and chatting with Chang Qiwen, and remained silent.
"Old Chang, this order is so expensive?" Little Fatty said to Chang Qiwen.
“I use a flying sword,” Chang Qiwen said.
"I feel like you've taken all my profits."
"If you don't sell now, the flowering season will be over, and you won't just be making little profit, you'll be losing money."
"Okay, now go ahead and leave. I feel like I'm working for you."
"gone."
Afterwards, Chang Qiwen took the spiritual medicine and flew away on his sword.
Little Fatty waved and saw Luo Lu coming.
He greeted me and then went back to work.
Luo Lu responded with a smile, her eyes sparkling with confidence and amusement.
This smile emanated from the bottom of his heart, as if a heavy burden had been lifted in an instant.
"Luo Xuan." Luo Lu quickly walked to the counter, lowered her voice and smiled, "Did you receive the letter?"
Luo Xuan nodded, her fingers unconsciously tracing the edge of the letter: "Yes, I received it."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lu secretly glanced at Little Fatty, making sure he was busy organizing the spiritual herbs and wasn't paying attention to them, before moving closer and whispering, "When do you plan to leave?"
"Leave?" Luo Xuan raised her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, unsure of what to do.
"What's wrong with you? Has life here corrupted you? Have you forgotten what you wanted in the first place? Now that the opportunity is so rare, what are you still hesitating about?" Luo Lu frowned, her tone tinged with urgency. "I know you are grateful to Young Master Gao, and I also know that you have certain opportunities here."
"But have you ever thought that gratitude can be repaid later, and there is no need to exchange it for this opportunity?"
Even if we change it, we may not necessarily receive gratitude from the other party.
"If you regret it someday in the future, he will only say that it was your own choice."
"He didn't force you."
"As for the opportunity here, it is full of uncertainties."
"Little Fatty does know Jiang Man, and the other party will also provide him with some resources."
"But Jiang Man knows quite a few people, and there's a limit to the resources he can provide."
How can it be your turn?
"Furthermore, as Jiang Man's cultivation level increases, he actually comes less and less often, and he brings danger."
"If you stay here, you won't see a future. Maybe one day he'll go to the Immortal Sect, and then your path will be cut off."
"But when I went to Lingyue Sect, my second uncle helped me there."
"I dare not say anything else, but at least you can become a Golden Core cultivator."
"There is still hope for the primordial spirit."
"Don't act impulsively or make a hasty decision."
"A golden opportunity that others would kill for."
"You need to live for yourself now."
Luo Xuan remained silent for a long time before saying, "I know."
“Your second uncle will be back in a while, and then you’ll have to make a choice. Don’t make a mistake,” Luo Lu said earnestly.
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Even if you want to repay Young Master Gao, you can always wait until you reach the Core Formation stage."
After a slight hesitation, she spoke again: "Even if you need to repay me with your body, you can wait until later. At that time, you will marry as a Golden Core cultivator, which will be different from now."
You need to understand this.
"Only when you are strong and have enough ability can you better establish yourself and get what you want."
"Instead of compromising."
Luo Lu offered a few more words of advice before leaving.
Luo Xuan remained silent; she realized she wasn't as young as she used to be.
I'm starting to hesitate.
Finally, she looked up at the busy little fat boy and said softly, "Young Master Gao, I'm going to find Cheng Yu."
The chubby boy nodded indifferently without even looking up, "Okay."
Afterwards, Luo Xuan went to Cheng Yu's shop.
"What a rare guest!" Cheng Yu was tidying up the shelves when she heard the noise. She turned around and said with a smile, "Has your shop closed down?"
Luo Xuan didn't say anything else, but simply handed the envelope to Cheng Yu.
The latter opened it with a puzzled look, and after a long while, she looked at Luo Xuan in surprise and couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Luo, you really have the life of a rich young lady. Even so, things have taken a turn for the better."
Luo Xuan didn't pay attention to the other person's words. Her gaze remained calm as she asked, "If it were you, what would you choose?"
"Do you like Young Master Gao?" Cheng Yu placed the letter on the counter and asked earnestly.
Luo Xuan remained silent for a long time before finally shaking her head: "I don't know. When I came here with him, I knew my family wanted me to marry him. I had already accepted it then, and I thought there would be no turning back."
So accept it calmly.
"Now I'm suddenly being told I can leave and pursue a higher realm."
"I didn't react for a moment."
Cheng Yu leaned against the counter, thought for a moment, and slowly said, "If it were me, I might go, because Young Master Fang doesn't like me. I'm actually just dependent on him."
"But I also hesitate, because Young Master Fang is loyal and righteous. As long as he doesn't get married, I can almost always get his protection."
"But your situation is not the same as Young Master Gao's."
"You don't need to be dependent like I am; after all, it's family to family."
“But I am just a person, and my interests are not as complicated as yours.”
After a pause, Cheng Yu smiled and said, "If you really can't make a decision, you can use your spiritual energy to toss it and see what it looks like."
"If you don't like the side you see, then go to the other side."

Jiang Man led Ji Meng through several mountain peaks to his family's sesame seed cake shop.
After all, we agreed to eat two.
You can smell the aroma of sesame seed cakes from afar.
"It smells even better now, have your cooking skills improved?" Jiang Man couldn't help but exclaim.
The two arrived at the store entrance.
Just as they arrived, they saw a man in white sitting at a wooden table in front of the pancake shop.
The man was leisurely eating a sesame seed cake, holding the cake in one hand and a glass of soy milk in the other, his posture relaxed.
Sunlight shone on him, his white clothes were as white as snow, and he exuded an otherworldly aura.
When Jiang Man saw him, she stopped abruptly and froze.
The other person seemed to have noticed something, put down the bowl of soy milk in their hand, and turned around.
When he saw Jiang Man and Ji Meng, he was stunned, and the sesame seed cake in his hand stopped in mid-air.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
