Chapter 120 Look Up, Look at the Sky
After Hou Yi recovered, he smiled and thanked Ling Yunxiao.
"You're too kind, Great God. We Night Watchmen and the Great Xia gods help each other for the sake of humanity; it's only natural."
"By the way, if you have something to attend to, please go ahead. I have some things to discuss with the Celestial Venerable."
Ling Yunxiao bluntly ordered Hou Yi to leave, and Hou Yi, without giving it much thought, turned and left. Then, Ling Yunxiao looked at Yuanshi Tianzun.
Just as Yuanshi Tianzun was about to make an excuse to leave, Ling Yunxiao reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
"Heavenly Venerable, you see our team looks strong and well-equipped now, but actually, we're poor! I've heard that there are peaches of immortality in heaven that are three thousand, six thousand, or nine thousand years old. And there are also golden pills that have undergone eight or nine cycles!"
"Look at us, have pity on us mortals who've never seen the world, and just give us a couple of peaches of immortality and golden pills to taste?"
Ling Yunxiao looked so pitiful that Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
"The Celestial Venerable of Morality has just been revived and has not yet had time to start refining elixirs."
The peach orchard is already bearing fruit. If you're willing to wait, young friend, I can arrange to reserve some for you. I have the means to give you thirty or fifty peaches."
"How long do we have to wait?"
Upon hearing about the thirty to fifty peaches, Ling Yunxiao grinned, his eyes crinkling with delight.
"The fruit will ripen in about a thousand years."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, his face full of sincerity, as if to say, "I will never break my promise."
"Dinner's ready! Celestial Venerable, you've arrived? Would you like to have some with us?"
Just then, Wang Fang came out carrying a plate of food. Upon seeing Yuanshi Tianzun, she greeted him familiarly. Clearly, she had received a lot of care from others in Heaven.
"No need. The Celestial Venerable is a very busy man, with countless affairs to attend to. He has no time to eat."
Ling Yunxiao chuckled as he casually opened the manor gate, practically ready to throw the man out. Probably because his strength wouldn't allow it.
Yuanshi Tianzun didn't refute anything. He smiled and waved to Wang Fang before stepping out of the Zhenjun Mansion.
Everyone behaved very well in front of Wang Fang, after all, she was Yang Jian's adoptive mother and Ling Yunxiao's elder. They all acted like obedient children and finished the meal with Wang Fang.
When Yang Jian got up to clear the dishes, Wang Fang stopped him.
“My child, you’re all grown up now. It’s not the time for you to help your mother with these mundane family matters. I know you have important things to do. Go on! I’ll be very happy if you can come back and have a meal with me when you have time.”
Yang Jian fell silent. Ling Yunxiao smiled and came closer, adding another ten years to Wang Fang's lifespan before leading everyone to say goodbye to Wang Fang.
"Yunxiao, if you see Qiye, tell him to come and see me when he has time!"
"OK, all right."
Ling Yunxiao nodded with a smile, and the group finally left the Heavenly Court.
Where do we go next?
Under a clear blue sky, several people sat leisurely on the back of Garuda King.
"We usually don't have any missions within the country, so we can just treat it as a vacation."
Xiao Nan, you and Leng Xuan should go to the National Library these next couple of days. Take a look at the book list I gave you before.
Brother Han, you and Lao Wu go find a [medium] for a few days. Although there is no ancient god church in the country now, there are always some people who feel that life is not good and want to be reincarnated as soon as possible. You two go and help them out.
As for A-Jin and Nezha, you two go find Qi Ye. If he's busy, have Nezha fill in for him for two days. A-Jin, take Qi Ye to see Aunt Wang. It's been a long time since he last visited her since leaving Kunlun Mountain. That child is always so tense; it's not good for him.”
Ling Yunxiao's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Wang Mian.
"Captain, let's go to Xijin!"
"it is good."
Wang Mian didn't even ask what he was going to Xijin for, and immediately agreed.
After everyone left, Ling Yunxiao patted Garuda King on the back and pointed him to the way to Xijin.
An hour later, the two jumped off Garuda King's back and entered the city.
"Captain, are you hungry?"
"Are you alright? Are you hungry?"
"Yes, I'll take you to find something to eat!"
Ling Yunxiao smiled slightly and reached out to flag down a taxi parked on the side of the road.
"Master, I heard there's a really good local restaurant called Third Uncle's Cuisine around here. Do you know the way?"
"I know! Their cooking is really good, they clean their place well, and most importantly, the prices aren't expensive."
The driver clearly knew, and cheerfully started the car, recommending two of his third uncle's signature dishes to the two of them along the way.
The car stopped quickly, and Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian got out and casually walked into the local restaurant.
"Boss, I'd like some braised pork, stir-fried chicken gizzards, and fried mushrooms."
"Okay!"
The third uncle's enthusiastic voice came from the kitchen. Soon, a waiter carrying a kettle came to the two of them, poured water for them, and then looked up at them with a smile.
“I noticed you came to Xijin, but I didn’t expect you really came to find me.”
"Senior Sword Immortal!"
Just as Wang Mian was about to stand up, Ling Yunxiao pressed him down.
"Boss, we're Zhou Ping's friends, could you give us a couple more dishes?"
Ling Yunxiao smiled and stood up, took the kettle from Zhou Ping, and after confirming that no one was in the shop at this time, casually called out to the kitchen.
Wang Mian, who had become quite skilled at it, began to take out his ring. When his third uncle came out, there were already many cigarettes, alcohol and gifts placed at Wang Mian's feet.
"Good good..."
Uncle San's hands were piled high with gifts, and he grinned as he returned to the kitchen.
"You two..."
Zhou Ping was a little bewildered by the two men's smooth and sophisticated manner of dealing with people. These two young people are really something! If Ye Fan had been this sensible when he asked him to be his teacher, would he have been washing dishes in the kitchen for more than half a month?
"Sword Immortal, we actually came here because we have something to discuss with you."
"I can see that you can't carry so many gifts without asking for help."
Zhou Ping smiled faintly. He didn't care about these things, but seeing his third uncle, the old man, smiling happily made him happy too.
"Captain has already reached the pinnacle of his abilities, while the whereabouts of the God-King Cronus are still unknown. Most importantly, he seems to be a benevolent Outer God. We can't just kill him and try to seize his divine status, so we wanted to ask you how you became a Sword Immortal."
Ling Yunxiao's words were too blunt. Before Zhou Ping could even process the direct mention of killing, he was asked about his path to godhood.
“Look up. See through the illusions above the sky, and you will see the place where the origins of rules converge. There, find your own rules, find your own path. If not, then forge your own path.”
Zhou Ping thought for a moment and gave this answer.
For a moment, Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian fell silent. They had originally thought Zhou Ping was just a little socially awkward and didn't like to talk, but they never expected that when he spoke properly, his words would be so abstract.
This is not something an ordinary person can do! Wang Mian raised his head and looked at the somewhat dilapidated roof of his third uncle's local restaurant, then lowered his head again. Maybe we should go out and take a look after we finish eating?
