There’s No Way My Dad Is A Legendary Cultivator - Chapter 152
Chapter 152 On the Eve of Departure
Hearing that his master had said that this stone was so valuable, He Xiangjiang wanted to take it back and return it to the little girl.
He stretched out his hand and wanted to take it back.
However, the old Taoist priest waved his hand and slapped his hand away.
“Do you think you could find her even if you go back now?”
“Besides, we need it now. Wait until you earn money yourself and come back to Fusheng City to find her.”
“At that time, you can just return it to her. At most, you can give her some interest and thank her properly.”
He Xiangjiang withdrew his hand when he heard his master’s words.
But he still said with some hesitation.
“But Master, I don’t even know her name. Will I be able to find her when the time comes?”
The old Taoist priest put the stone into his bosom and then circled around his back.
“Disciple, do you believe in me?”
He Xiangjiang asked.
“Of course I do, but not completely.”
“For example, you said last time that you could kill a cow with one punch, but we met a wild boar on the mountain road that day. “At that time, you ran faster than anyone else. So, I don’t believe it.”
The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes at He Xiangjiang and explained.
“That was an accident. Although I can kill a Cow with one punch, it doesn’t stop me from being afraid of wild boars.”
“Think about it. The wild boar’s tusks are so long, and they are very fierce. Aren’t you afraid of them?”
He Xiangjiang was already helpless against this master who was like a child.
He simply did not argue with him. He turned his body, which was sitting on the bamboo chair, and faced him sideways.
The old Taoist priest snorted.
“What if I say that you will meet her again soon?”
He Xiangjiang turned his head and gave the old Taoist priest a side-eye.
“You don’t believe me? Then you wait and
see.”
Then He Xiangjiang stood up and no longer paid attention to his master. He walked out of the bamboo house and went to look for something to do.
Seeing this, the old Taoist priest muttered.
“I can’t even fool a little kid now that I’m old.”
Then he continued to lie down on the recliner and closed his eyes.
He hummed an unknown tune.
Jiang Ping and the other two arrived home from the Hundred Treasures House.
Once they got home, Jiang Ping spoke to Lei Jingyun, Qiu Chi, and Li Sushang.
He ordered each of them to pack up their things.
They would set off for Xianlai Island the next morning
Then, he went to Chen Zhong’s room.
He knocked on the door.
Chen Zhong quickly walked over to open the door.
“Master, this is?”
“If there’s anything, just call me directly. You even came here specially.”
Jiang Ping smiled and let Chen Zhong sit in his room.
Then, he told Chen Zhong about his trip. After Chen Zhong heard it, he quickly stood up and wanted to pack his luggage.
Jiang Ping held Chen Zhong’s shoulder and made him sit back on the stool.
“Uncle Zhong, you’ve stayed in our house for more than half of your life.”
“I came here to tell you that it’s not convenient for you to follow me because of the long journey.”
“If you want to stay in the Jiang Mansion, then stay.” “If you don’t want to, I’ll leave you enough money anyway. You can also go and take a look around the world.”
Chen Zhong’s eyes were gloomy.
“I’ve been in the Jiang family for most of my life. Do you want to abandon me all of a sudden, Master?”
Jiang Ping smiled and shook his head.
“Of course not. It’s just that this time, it might be even more dangerous than in Fusheng City.”
“I’m afraid I can’t take care of so many people by myself.”
“So I thought it would be best if you were willing to stay in Fusheng City. I can also ask someone to take care of you.”
“So that you’ll be taken care of since you’re old.”
Chen Zhong sat and listened to Jiang Ping’s words.
He didn’t say anything for a long time.
Seeing this, Jiang Ping was not in a hurry. He just sat with the old man.
It was just like when Chen Zhong came to the Jiang family when he was middle-aged and stayed with him the whole time.
In the end, Chen Zhong looked at Jiang Ping and said.
“I’ve thought about it.”
“Indeed, if I follow you, I might really drag you down.”
“Then I’ll just stay here.”
“Otherwise, when you and the ladies come back one day, there won’t even be anyone to open the door for you.” Jiang Ping nodded, then left a sum of money and some spirit stones for Chen Zhong.
“Actually, you don’t have to guard this house for us.”
Chen Zhong was afraid that he would make things difficult for Jiang Ping, so he smiled and waved his hand.
“It’s okay. I’ve been in the Jiang family for most of my life, been calling you from Young Master to Master.”
“I have no children. I don’t remember my surname anymore.”
“I only remember that I’m a member of the Jiang family. What’s wrong with me staying in my own home?”
“Don’t tell me you’re going to chase me away?”
After Jiang Ping heard this, he finally laughed.
Wan’er held her two younger sisters and skipped back home.
When they saw that everyone in the mansion was busy packing their luggage. The three of them ran towards Jiang Ping’s room.
Before they reached Jiang Ping’s room, they bumped into Jiang Ping who had just returned from Chen Zhong’s place.
Wan’er jogged towards Jiang Ping.
“Daddy, I see that the people at home are busy.”
“Are we setting off tomorrow?”
The little girl’s eyes were filled with excitement and reluctance. Jiang Ping nodded.
“Yeah, we’ll set off early tomorrow morning. You guys are not allowed to sleep in.”
As he spoke, he pointed at a few little girls.
Yan’er asked.
“Then, will the whole family go with us?” “I saw that everyone was busy packing their luggage.”
Jiang Ping shook his head and looked back at Chen Zhong’s room. “No, it’s just us this time. There’s also Auntie, Uncle Qiu, and Old Uncle Lei who will be going with us.”
Liu’er was a little disappointed.
“Then are we going to come back?”
Jiang Ping smiled.
“I don’t know, but when Liu’er grows up and wants to come back, you can come back on your own.”
Then, he patted the little girl’s head.
Then, Jiang Ping called out to a maid who was packing the three little girls’ luggage.
“Gui Hua, tell everyone that I will personally cook today. Everyone, let’s have a meal together.”
The woman named Gui Hua cupped her fists and replied okay before leaving to inform everyone. Actually, there were not many servants in the Jiang Mansion. There were only eight servants in total.
Because Jiang Ping’s family was usually more disciplined, these servants basically had nothing to do. Moreover, their wages were not low, so everyone was very grateful to Jiang Ping, the patriarch.
When they heard that Jiang Ping was going on a long trip, everyone was a little disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.
Everyone was reluctant.
When Wan’er heard that Jiang Ping was going to cook tonight, she began to order dishes.
She kept repeating in Jiang Ping’s ear. Braised pork, beggar’s chicken, mapo tofu, stir-fried pork… Jiang Ping stretched out his finger and flicked the little girl’s forehead.
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll satisfy you. I’ll cook all of these for you.”
Wan’er jumped up excitedly.
When the other two little girls heard this, they were in for a treat.
They also drooled one after another.
During dinner, Jiang Ping cooked a total of twenty to thirty dishes.
Everyone from the residence sat in the hall.
The dining table was not big enough. Two more tables had been moved and put together.
Jiang Ping sat at the main seat and raised his cup.
“Thank you for your meticulous care during this period of time. I would like to propose a toast to all of you.”
After saying that, he downed the wine in one gulp.
The people from the residence chimed in one after another, saying that they did not do anything and that it was not tiring at all.
Only Chen Zhong did not say a word. He raised his glass and downed the wine in one gulp.a
