Chapter 340 Life changes, brothers get together (please subscribe)
“Junior Zhao Guanlou, I have met my senior.”
The old man in rich attire greeted the cyan figure, bowed his hands and said respectfully.
At this time, the old man in gorgeous clothes couldn't help but feel doubtful. This Jindan senior was not any of the elders of his master's family that he knew well, and his appearance was extremely unfamiliar.
The robes on his body were not decorated with the Zhao family crest.
"Who are you?" The green figure stopped, frowned, and looked at the old man in rich clothes in front of him.
“The junior Zhao Guanlou is the deacon of the eastern part of Lingyan Island and is responsible for managing the affairs of the island…”
The old man in fine clothes reported immediately.
After finishing his words, the old man in colorful clothes asked again in a low voice: "I wonder if the senior can tell me the identity of the junior. If there is someone you want to do, I can do something for you."
Hearing this, Wei Tu suddenly realized that this old man in rich clothes was the deacon on Ling Island. No wonder he stopped him when he arrived.
During this trip, after he came to Lingyan Island, he asked someone for Wei Fei's address, and then rushed here without looking for a guide to lead the way.
As for Fu Dalu…
Since this place belongs to the Zhao family and is not very open to outside cultivators, and Wei Tu also wanted to hide his secrets, he did not ask Fu Dalu to follow him, and only asked him to wait outside the island.
“My surname is Wei, and I have an old relationship with the Zhao family.”
Wei Tu casually took out a token and handed it to the old man in gorgeous clothes in front of him with magic power.
This token was the guest token given to him by Zhao Huamin when he left the Zhao family in Shengya.
“It turns out to be Wei Zhenjun.”
After seeing the host's guest order, the old man in rich clothes became more respectful. He held the token in both hands, bowed and handed it over to Wei Tu again.
The Shengya Zhao family is one of the top immortal cultivating families in the Xiao Kingdom. The guest orders within the family are generally only given to golden elixir monks who have a distinguished status or have an astonishing future.
Wei Tu can get this order, and his identity decision is much more expensive than the elder of the His St. Ya Zhao family.
“Wei came here to meet his old friend Wei Fei. I’d like to ask Deacon Zhao to lead the way.”
After taking back the token, Wei Tu nodded slightly and stated the purpose of his trip.
—There is a barrier formation on Lingyan Island. Although he can easily break in with his spiritual consciousness, as a guest, he must be polite.
“Wei Fei?”
The old man in colorful clothes was slightly shocked.
When he heard the first half of Wei Tu's words, he was still envious of someone who had such good luck and actually met a promising Jindan Zhenjun...
But when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was a little unbelievable.
Wei Fei, on Lingyan Island, they are famous for being a waste of foundation building.
Under normal circumstances, when a foundation-building monk reaches three hundred years old, no matter how low his qualifications are, he can reach the middle stage of foundation-building.
But now, Wei Fei is still in the early stage of foundation building, and is still far away from the middle stage of foundation building.
He has no qualifications in the art of making money, and none of them have reached the second level.
—Spiritual food, immortal brewing, etc., also belong to the category of cultivating immortals, and their learning is much simpler than the four immortal arts of alchemy, talisman, and weapon array.
“What a blessing.”
The old man in fine clothes is envious.
The status of a monk depends not only on himself, but also on the corresponding connections and background.
At this time, Wei Tu, the Jindan True Lord with an extraordinary status, was willing to recognize Wei Fei as an old friend. His status naturally increased, and he flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix.
“Wei Zhenjun, please come with me.”
After a brief moment of surprise, the old man in rich clothes bowed and began to guide Wei Tu.
…
Led by the old man in colorful clothes, Wei Tu walked into the small courtyard of Wei House on Lingyan Island and saw a young woman sitting on the ground crying, and a wealthy old man with an embarrassed look on his face.
“Second brother?”
Wei Tu saw Wei Fei's twilight face. He was stunned for a moment. After a while, he calmed down and called out softly.
Before arriving at Lingyan Island, he had already made some guesses about Wei Fei's condition. But guessing is one thing, actually seeing it is another.
When we said goodbye, Wei Fei was chic and suave, as relaxed and casual as he had just established the foundation.
When we met again, Wei Fei was already in his twilight years, his appearance had aged, and he no longer looked as youthful and vigorous as before, leaving only the fatigue that had been tortured by life.
“Third brother, you’ve seen a joke.”
Wei Fei forced a smile, glared at the young woman, scolded "Get up, don't lose face", and led Wei Tu into the hall to take a seat.
"Who is this?"
Weitu asked the young woman who she was.
With his eyesight, he could tell that the young woman should be Wei Fei's second wife after the death of his ex-wife Zhao Ting, but he didn't know whether it was a wife or a concubine.
If it’s a concubine, you don’t need to worry about it.
“It’s within the family.” Wei Fei sighed softly and acknowledged the young woman’s status as a wife.
With his status, he is lucky to be able to marry a good female Qi practitioner.
It is possible to only give her the status of concubine.
“It turns out to be my sister-in-law.”
Weitu nodded, his attitude was sincere and there was no hint of arrogance.
The young woman who was behind Wei Fei, Wei Tu, and Zhao Guanlou heard this, and her eyebrows suddenly lit up with joy, and there was a little more joy in her eyes.
The young woman could tell that Wei Tu's status was extraordinary, otherwise he would not have had the always pampered "Deacon Zhao" as his companion, nodding and bowing aside.
Weituken called her "sister-in-law", which was a huge surprise to her.
Lean less.
Four people entered the living room. "Fellow Daoist Wei, please take a seat." Zhao Guanlou smiled and walked to the second seat.
Seeing this scene, Wei Fei was shocked and at the same time felt a little more joy and pride in his heart.
I felt like I was letting out a strong breath of bad breath.
After all, after the death of the old patriarch Zhao Tinghai, he has been in a situation of being looked down upon for many years.
Not to mention outsiders, even his wife despises him because of his weakness and incompetence.
“Second brother, why are you and your sister-in-law quarreling? If you need help from my brother, just speak up.”
Wei Tu took the initiative to speak up and supported Wei Fei.
Poor and lowly couples are miserable.
Wei Fei and his wife were quarreling and having conflicts. He didn't need to think too much, and he could guess that 80% to 90% of the reasons were related to the poor economy.
If Wei Fei had plenty of money and made a lot of money, this kind of contradiction would be rare or even non-existent.
Because there is none, it happens frequently.
So that he happened to bump into me today.
“It seems that Wei Zhenjun’s feelings towards Wei Fei are different. From now on, Wei Fei needs to be taken good care of.”
Hearing this, Zhao Guanlou thought to himself.
—A great monk seeing his old friend again and helping him are two different things and cannot be confused.
Many great monks met old friends from the past and just lamented the past. When it came time to actually pay, they pretended not to know.
In other words, what Wei Fei needs now is Wei Tu's help, rather than a few words of pretending to miss the old relationship.
"this…"
Wei Fei mumbled for a moment without speaking.
However, the young woman on the side spoke on behalf of her husband, Wei Fei. She carefully raised her head and glanced at Wei Tu, and said intermittently: "Brother Wei, no, Wei Zhenjun, it's... it's about Ping'er. There's a quarrel. Yes, I asked him to intercede with the clan leader and become the steward of the puppet workshop, but he refused to go..."
“Ping’er?”
Wei Tu's heart moved and he realized that this son should be the son of Wei Fei and Xu Xian.
Previously, Wei Fei and Zhao Ting only had one daughter, Wei Xian'er, and no other children.
The chance that this Ping'er was born when Zhao Ting came to Lingyan Island is not high. If he was really Zhao Ting's son, the young woman would never work so hard.
“Since the second brother is not willing to plead for mercy, the foolish brother can only overstep his bounds and go to the patriarch of the Qiyue Zhao family.”
Wei Tu smiled and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei Zhen." Hearing this, the young woman was overjoyed and immediately became grateful.
It seems that Wei Tu and Wei Fei are doing the same thing, but the results are very different.
Wei Fei went to plead for mercy, but the clan leader might ignore him. Even if he did, he would only get what he asked for.
But Wei Tu went to plead for mercy. If the clan leader only gave Wei Fei a position as the manager of the puppet workshop, it would be an insult to Wei Tu, the golden elixir master.
"As for Ping'er's foundation-building matter, I am a foolish younger brother who is not talented, so I am the alchemist. Although I don't have the foundation-building pills in my hand, I still have a few foundation-condensing pills..."
As soon as Wei Tu flicked his sleeves, an elixir bottle marked "Ningji Dan" appeared on the tables beside him.
“These three Ningji Pills are given to Ping’er as a meeting gift. Second brother doesn’t have to refuse…”
Wei Tu saw that Wei Fei had a look of refusal on his face, he groaned and added.
These words gave Wei Fei no excuse to refuse, and there were more tears and gratitude in his eyes.
The Ningji Dan was not given intentionally by Wei Tu.
It’s because in Xiao State, the value of three Foundation-Condensing Pills is roughly equal to one Foundation-Establishing Pill.
Giving three Foundation-Establishing Pills means that Wei Fei can exchange one Foundation-Establishing Pill for his son.
At this time, he said this in front of Zhao Guanlou, and the implication was obvious.
Let Zhao Guanlou help me think about it.
"With just a few words, we have added a foundation-building monk to the Wei family. This Lord Wei is truly extraordinary." Zhao Guanlou was quite envious.
After all, his descendants are still struggling in the Qi training realm and have no chance to advance to the foundation building realm.
“In the remaining time, Wei needs to rekindle his old relationship with his second brother. I’ll help you, Deacon Zhao.”
Wei Tu glanced at Zhao Guanlou and signaled to him that it was time to leave the Wei family.
“Junior, please don’t bother Wei Zhenjun.”
Zhao Guanlou realized what he was doing, bowed, and immediately fled away from Wei's house.
…
Wait until Zhao Guanlou leaves.
The young woman found an excuse to cook for the two of them, and left the living room with a clear eye, leaving the space to Wei Tu and Wei Fei.
The two of them began to talk about the old things that had happened to them in the past hundred years.
"What? Then Yue Jing became a fourth-grade general? His descendants became princes? He was just a servant back then, but he did better in the world than us."
“Hehe, the Yue family also knows people well. They know that third brother, you will become famous in the future, and they will enshrine your portrait in the small courtyard, burp~”
“The Qinglong Gang was also destroyed...”
The two of them exchanged cups, and within a short while, they had downed several pots of spirit wine and looked a bit drunk.
Among them, the most interesting topic between the two was the changes after Wei Tu returned to Qingmu County a hundred years later.
At that time, the memories of the two people overlapped two hundred and eighty years ago - both of them served in the Xiangjun Yamen, one was the "Advisor" and the other was the "Dujiaotou"...
