"Why are you all here Where is Fourth Brother" Ling Jiu asked upon entering.
"Do you need to find Fourth Brother for something" Luo Lingyu asked. Usually, Ling Jiu wouldn’t bother with other matters; she only knew how to brew and drink wine. Could it be because of the barrel of wine that Fourth Brother had prepared
"It’s not me looking for him. Just now I met Father who told me to check if the little rascal is here," Ling Jiu replied. This answer made Luo Lingyu stop speculating; she realized he was just asked to deliver a message, which seemed normal.
"We also want to know when he will come out of seclusion. Anyway, it’s not like he’s back now and we shouldn’t disturb him. What does Father need him for" Luo Lingyu said.
“It doesn’t seem that Father needs to find him; apparently the headmaster wants to see him. Could he have caused a commotion that got him on the headmaster’s radar” Ling Jiu asked, puzzled.
In their perception, there was nothing about Xianyao worth the headmaster personally wanting to meet with him—unless he had done something wrong. If it were in the past, others would have thought similarly; hence they understood where Ling Jiu was coming from.
“You might be mistaken. The headmaster may need his abilities,” Luo Lingyu said.
"That’s unlikely. With him around, who could possibly need his capabilities Could someone have been injured and require the Divine Farmer’s True Energy" Ling Jiu asked doubtfully; she couldn’t think of anything else.
“You never know. Perhaps,” Luo Lingyu replied. "Ling Jiu, are you not going to report back to Father"
"Report what for I only agreed to come and check on him but didn’t promise to go back and tell him anything," Ling Jiu said as she pulled out a pot of wine and started drinking.
“…” Luo Lingyu and the others had expected this outcome. Asking Ling Jiu to do something was never very reliable.
But they didn’t need to worry much about it; Xianyao wasn’t back anyway, so there would be no point in reporting him. Instead of rushing around, why not eat first and wait while doing so
Shortly after, the Third Master stepped into the hall. Seeing Ling Jiu drinking and eating, he said with a bad temper, "I told you she wouldn’t come back to report—guess what I was right!"
Moments after Ling Jiu left, the Third Master remembered her personality and realized calling her for help would be pointless; she definitely wouldn't return. He had to do it himself, which he now confirmed.
"Fourth Brother hasn’t returned anyway, so why are you in such a hurry" Ling Jiu raised her cup of wine. "Sir Father, want a drink This is good stuff!"
“You only know how to drink all day and night. You’re a girl; how will you get married like this” the Third Master said irritably. But his actions surprised everyone when he took Ling Jiu’s wine cup.
"With your support, I don’t need to marry; even if I didn’t, it wouldn’t matter. Besides, all I care about is drinking and brewing; I have no interest in managing a household," Ling Jiu declared, showing she had no intention of getting married.
After understanding Ling Jiu’s character, Xianyao realized Third Princess could finally relax. This Ling Jiu would definitely be to First Miss's taste—both loved wine, the only difference being that First Miss never brewed it while Ling Jiu excelled at brewing. This made her even more suited to First Miss.
Since Ling Jiu had no plans of marrying, a little mischief from First Miss wouldn’t matter much.
"Father, what does the headmaster need Fourth Brother for" Luo Lingyu asked Third Master after glancing at Ling Jiu.
“Isn’t it because of Xianyao’s Divine Farmer Art He just now was annoyed I hadn’t informed him. But it confuses me; shouldn’t he have known about this by now” the Third Master said as he took a sip of wine.
Theoretically, Xianyao should be considered someone who practices the Divine Farmer Art. This information would have been recorded once his practice was confirmed. However, previously no one thought of him that way; they merely saw him as an ordinary martial artist and categorized him under mid-stage King rank.
A mid-stage King rank martial artist wouldn’t draw much attention—there were plenty in the Luo family, and he wasn't even a teenager anymore but twenty-one. There was no reason to think about him further.
But if someone practices the Divine Farmer Art at mid-stage King rank That’s an entirely different story. The highest level of practitioners within the entire Luo family is peak King rank; there are none at Emperor rank and only one at peak King rank, and even then there aren’t many at King rank.
It was thus understandable how much they would value Xianyao if he were to be considered a Divine Farmer Art practitioner. The treatment afforded martial artists wouldn't come close to what he would receive.
Furthermore, Xianyao is only twenty-one and his potential is tempting the headmaster. Most importantly, Xianyao is an outsider in the Luo family—a trusted member of their own clan; this was crucial.
The best personnel to use are those within your own ranks!
Now that he knew about it, the headmaster immediately asked the Third Master to report back and scolded him for being so forgetful—how could he have missed informing them of Xianyao’s practice of the Divine Farmer Art Also, why wasn’t his surname Luo if he was their son
As to this, the Third Master felt very innocent. Whether it was reporting the matter or whether he was Xiyao's father, one thing he didn't know and another was that there was nothing he could do about the situation.
The head of the Luo family did not say much either and soon named Xiyao to be seen by him. Although the Third Master mentioned that Xiyao had been in seclusion refining pills, the head still told him to go see if Xiyao was out of seclusion yet. It just so happened that he met Bell Nine on his way.
As for Xiyao refining pills, the head of the Luo family wasn't surprised either. With such high medical skills, it was only natural to have some knowledge in pill refinement as well, and sometimes they had exclusive medicinal concoctions made by themselves.
"So it's like that, huh Fourth Brother is really good at making a ruckus, even moving the head of our family."
Luo Lingyu smiled. Being able to stir up such a commotion was actually a good thing since their status in the Luo family would be elevated accordingly.
For now, it wasn't an issue with Third Master around, but they'd have to hand over things to the next generation eventually. However, within this generation, besides Lingling having a talent for martial arts, everyone else didn't possess any such talents even though they had some achievements in their respective fields. It was hard for them to establish themselves deeply and be easily swayed.
With Xiyao around now, they felt much more reassured; they could even get married without a care since previously, not even the thought of marriage dared cross their minds.
"Yes, I didn't expect that either. They all don't know, and Fourth Brother just simply said he was cultivating, leading others to misunderstand him as a martial artist. But martial artists are far from being on par with him."
The Third Master sighed in感慨,這次逍遙出關,他必定要說幾句。
“你們冇有發覺老四行事向來都是很低調,不是到他發揮用處的時候,你都不知道他能做什麼,估計他是不想太被人重視。”鈴九一針見血地說道,有時候喝過酒的纔是真的兄弟,或者說,姐弟。
The Third Master expressed his感慨, this time around, when Xiyao emerges from seclusion, he must speak up.
"Yes, I didn't expect that either. They all don't know, and Fourth Brother just simply said he was cultivating, leading others to misunderstand him as a martial artist. But martial artists are far from being on par with him." The Third Master sighed.
Bell Nine hit the nail on the head by saying, "You didn't notice that Fourth Brother usually keeps a low profile You only find out what he can do when it's time for him to be useful. He probably doesn't want too much attention."
She had drunk with Xiyao several times, though they never got overly drunk. But they did drink.
"I originally thought Fourth Brother didn't value our family identity and even refused to take the surname Luo before, but I now see he doesn't care about it." Lingyu also joined in discussing Xiyao's character.
"Yeah, with his medical skills and Divine Farmer’s Formula, he would be a significant figure even among the ten major sects," Needled said.
"Speaking of which, if Father hadn't brought him back, I wonder whether he'd have joined our family." Lingyu suddenly recalled that Xiyao was practically dragged back by the Third Master.
The Third Master thought back then and agreed that Xiyao didn't seem willing at all.
Everyone fell silent. Just then, a voice cut in:
"What's going on"
Xiyao walked in from outside and casually asked.
"We were talking about you. Oh, Brother, you're back Where are my pills" Lingling looked at Xiyao and was initially slow to react but soon rushed over the table toward him.
Xiyao stopped her with his hand and replied, "I've prepared your pills for you. Why so urgent"
With that said, he handed a medicine bottle to Lingling.
"What's this" Lingling took it and opened the bottle out of curiosity without realizing what was inside since medicinal pills didn't have labels and all looked similar.
The moment she opened the bottle, the fragrance of the medicinal pill filled the entire hall, refreshing everyone’s senses.
"Wonderful stuff. What is this" Everyone could tell that the medicinal pill wasn’t ordinary but had no idea what it was; they would have to let Xiyao explain.
"This is a high-grade Essence Cultivation Pill suitable for your cultivation," Xiyao answered.
"High-grade Essence Cultivation Pill You made this"
“Yes, don't ask such boring questions. I said I can refine pills. Sell these.” He placed several gourds on the table, which were usually used for storing large quantities of similar medicinal pills.
However, when people saw such gourds, they often assumed that the medicinal pills inside wouldn't be particularly precious.
"Also, these bottles are for you to use in your cultivation. Even though you don’t primarily cultivate, it will still benefit you."
Xiyao took out several more bottles.
“What’s this”
"Didn't I just say high-grade Essence Cultivation Pills" Xiyao replied, frustrated by the repetitive questions.vival to the very end was crucial.This not only meant that the Shen Nong Scripture could repair his body and suppress the consequences of going crazy with martial arts cultivation but also implied tha...
