Chapter 73 Regret
Madam Pei and City Lord Pei looked at each other, accepted this statement, and nodded to Wei Qinglan. The two were just passing by, so it was not easy for them to stay. At this point, they could only hope that their friends would not be so anxious.
They really wanted to keep the brother and sister, and their attitude towards hospitality was very sincere.
After a while of talking, the chef of the City Lord's Mansion had prepared lunch and put the banquet on the table. It was very sumptuous and delicious.
When Jiang Lisheng was in Qingxu, she would occasionally go to the restaurant at the foot of the mountain to order some food and have a meal. Yu Wuchen didn't restrict her very much, but it wasn't often. After all, she had a wide range of interests, and if she wasn't careful, she would find herself sleeping for ten days or half a month. Throughout the year, she rarely got into trouble, and she didn't have much time to go down the mountain to play.
City Lord Pei invited Wei Qinglan to sit at the top seat, but Wei Qinglan declined and sat below him. Jiang Lisheng wanted to sit next to Wei Qinglan, but was pulled to her side by Madam Pei, so Pei Rong had to sit next to Wei Qinglan.
Jiang Lisheng ate well-behavedly. He came here just for the sake of eating. His eyes were bright and his cheeks were puffy while he ate. He looked very happy.
Mrs. Pei was delighted and kept picking food for her, introducing the characteristics of each dish. Seeing that she nodded repeatedly and did not complain about anything, she liked it very much.
City Lord Pei was also very hospitable and kept giving way to Wei Qinglan. Wei Qinglan was able to adapt to the local customs, and both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.
After the meal, Madam Pei personally took the two to their residence. "Rest for a while, then send a message to your friend. Where is your friend waiting? Ask Rong to send someone on a fast horse."
Wei Qinglan shook her head, "No need, don't worry, Auntie, my friend and I have a special way of communicating, and he can get the message immediately."
"Is that so?" Mrs. Pei wondered what kind of communication method was faster than a fast horse.
Pei Rong was accompanying him. Hearing this, he looked at Wei Qinglan twice more and said, "The Yun family has cultivators, but is there a way for the immortals to communicate? Brother Yun's friend is from the immortals?"
Madam Pei suddenly realized what was going on. "Oh, by the way, someone in the Yun family is practicing. I forgot about this."
Wei Qinglan nodded, "That's right."
Madam Pei brought the two of them to a courtyard and said to Wei Qinglan, "My dear nephew, you can live in this courtyard. Do you think it's okay? As for my dear niece, you have another courtyard. I will take you there."
Wei Qinglan shook her head. "This place is great. Maybe I'll only bother you for a day or two. Aunt, don't bother me. My sister and I can share a yard. We don't need to be so particular."
Madam Pei smiled, "I just want her to live closer to me so I can talk more. Since you said so, then you two brothers and sisters can live in the same courtyard!"
She pointed and said, "Brother Rong's yard is right next door. If you have any problems, just ask the servants in the yard to call him."
Wei Qinglan nodded.
After everything was settled and the two of them had a rest, the mother and son left together.
Jiang Lisheng pulled Wei Qinglan into the room, closed the door, and whispered, "Brother Wei, quickly send a message to Brother Chen and ask him where he is? After so many days, he still hasn't found the entrance to the secret realm. Is he waiting for us? Also, you have to quickly send a message to Brother Yun. I always feel that Aunt Pei's eyes are not right when she looks at me. It's weird and too kind."
Wei Qinglan looked up at her and commented, "You're not that stupid."
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Lisheng refused to admit that he was stupid. "Although my brain is not very bright sometimes, it is not stupid either. Logically speaking, when we are together, they should be more enthusiastic about you. After all, no matter how you look at it, you are better than me, right? But Aunt Pei kept talking to me and looking at me with eyes that were, how should I put it, like she was looking at her own daughter. Could it be that she really wanted a daughter but didn't give birth to one? That's why she is like this?"
Wei Qinglan thought thoughtfully, "Maybe that's not the look he gives his daughter, but the look he gives his future daughter-in-law." "Ah?" Jiang Lisheng was stunned, "No, can't it?"
Wei Qinglan looked at her. "In the mortal world, marriage is very popular. I guess the younger generations of the Pei and Yun families must have an engagement. Otherwise, Mrs. Pei wouldn't be so concerned about the old lady Pei mentioned. She also said that she would send a message to the Yun family recently, saying that the old lady Pei was not in good health. Maybe she just wanted to see her grandson get married with her own eyes..."
Jiang Lisheng was stunned. "This, this...if this is true, what should we do? Let's reveal our identities right away."
She didn't want to have a fiancé. Although Mr. Pei was handsome and looked talented, she couldn't marry him. If something went wrong and someone misunderstood her, it would be bad if her marriage was delayed.
Wei Qinglan held his forehead with his hand, "I'm just guessing, let's ask Senior Brother Yun first!"
Jiang Lisheng urged, "Ask quickly."
She also felt a little regretful. How could she come to someone else to beg for free food and drinks just for a bite to eat? If she hadn't been greedy, Senior Brother Wei wouldn't have indulged her. Now if she really got into trouble, she would be embarrassed to explain to Senior Brother Yun. This was not just a matter of giving more spirit stones.
Wei Qinglan took out the communication card and sent a message to Yunduan. He said that he was in Hexin City with Junior Sister Jiang, and used the jade card of Yun's family identity. He mentioned that the Pei family was very enthusiastic and unusual, and they must have caused trouble. He asked Yunduan what the situation was. If it was as he guessed, they could only reveal their identities and apologize.
He had never spoken so much when delivering messages to people before, but now he was talking a lot.
Jiang Lisheng watched from the side, eagerly waiting for Yunduan's reply, and at the same time quietly apologized to Wei Qinglan, with a guilty look on his face, "Brother Wei, it's all my fault for being too greedy. I will never be greedy again, and I'll buy food with my own money to be safe. I won't eat other people's food anymore."
Wei Qinglan glanced at her and said, "I hope you'll learn this lesson."
Jiang Lisheng nodded obediently, "I will definitely learn from this and won't dare to do it again."
It turns out there is no free lunch in the world.
She knew that in the mortal world, marriage arrangements and relationships between both sexes were big matters and no joke. She really didn't expect that even though she had no spiritual power at all, she would still get into trouble wherever she went.
I was sitting peacefully on the flying boat when I encountered a group of casual cultivators who wanted to kill people and steal treasures. I wanted to buy some food, but when I entered the mortal city, I got into big trouble because I had no money and was greedy.
She lay on the table dejectedly. Not seeing any response from Wei Qinglan's message card, she said sullenly, "What is Senior Brother Yun doing? It's extremely urgent, why doesn't he reply? Is he busy every day? If he's practicing, he can reply in time, right?"
Wei Qinglan didn't know either, so she naturally didn't answer her. She sent a message to Chen Liuan, asking him where he was. She also told him that they had arrived at the foot of Mount Daxian and were now in Hexin City in the mortal world.
After the letter was sent, Chen Liuan did not respond, and the communication board remained silent.
Jiang Lisheng was completely depressed. "What's going on with these two people? Did Senior Brother Chen find the entrance to the secret realm and go in?"
Once you enter the secret realm, you naturally cannot communicate.
"Wait!" Wei Qinglan was still calm and instructed her, "Go back to your room and have a rest. I'll call you if there's any news."
Jiang Lisheng could only stand up, listlessly, "Okay!"
