I Am Average and Unremarkable

Chapter 16: Peach

Views:

Jin Qingqiu put away his jade fan and bowed to Jiu Hui: "I am sorry for not thinking carefully and making things difficult for you." Seeing that Jiu Hui's fellow disciples had recovered, he took the initiative to invite them: "If you fellow Taoists don't mind, why don't you come up the mountain with me?"

"Thanks for the invitation, Young Master Jin. We shouldn't refuse, but we have something to do later." Yu Jing adjusted her scattered hair, reached out to cover the dirt on her sleeves, and gave him an awkward smile.

Jin Qingqiu immediately understood and offered to leave.

"Young Master." The sword boy asked in confusion, "Why don't they want to go with us?"

"Silly boy, look at them now, their hair is disheveled and their robes are dirty, how can they show up in front of people?" Jin Qingqiu played with the fan in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the backs of the six people leaving.

"I still don't understand." The boy shook his head: "They can also come to our flying building to change clothes, why do they have to walk so far?"

"Maybe this is character." Jin Qingqiu tapped the boy's forehead and said, "Don't ask so many questions, kid. Let's go."

Character

The boy covered his forehead, he still didn't understand.

"This bag is the compensation from Shenji Sect, this bag is the gift from Sect Master Qiu to you, Master, for your advancement, and this bag is the gift from Sect Master Qiu to me and Zhiyou."

The three bags were neatly placed on the table, and there was a Tianjie flying boat next to them.

Jiu Hui reached out and took back the bag of spiritual stones that were a gift for meeting her: "Zhiyou and I will split this equally."

"It's not safe for a child to carry so many spirit stones. Why don't you give them to Master for safekeeping?" Yu Jing reached out to take them. Jiu Hui held the spirit stone bag in her arms and shook her head: "When I was three years old, the candy I gave to Aunt Jiao for safekeeping was gone. When I was six years old, the snacks that Uncle Long collected for me were also nowhere to be found. So after I was six years old, I understood a truth..."

"How can I get back the spiritual stones given to my elders?" Tao Er muttered softly. If he hadn't squatted at the head of his parents' bed and gone crazy, he would not have been able to get back the spiritual stones that his grandfather gave him.

"Hey, Jade Immortal is talking to her disciple, why are you butting in!" City Lord Tao glared at his second son, you are the only one with a big mouth!

"Master is just joking with you." Yu Jing smiled gently and withdrew his hand, as if he was really just joking.

She opened the bag of spiritual stones that the Divine Extreme Sect had compensated her with, and generously distributed a portion to the Tao family father and son: "The Divine Extreme Sect bullied others by taking advantage of their power, and you three have suffered. Take these spiritual stones to calm your nerves."

"How can this be..." City Lord Tao hastily declined, but Yu Jing was unexpectedly strong: "As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. The Tao family and our Wangshu Pavilion jointly protect Taolin City. We are as close as a family. There is no need for us to be so formal with each other."

"Thank you, Jade Immortal." City Lord Tao did not refuse and put the spirit stone away with a smile.

Jiu Hui also took out a handful of spirit stones from her bag and gave them to Tao Er: "Here, this is your reward."

"Thank you, fairy!" Tao Er happily put the spirit stone into his arms: "Next time you need me to go crazy, just give me a look, and I will definitely go crazy to your satisfaction."

City Lord Tao and the Tao Family Boss: "..."

The child's madness seemed to be cured, but in some ways he seemed to have become even crazier.

"Be good." Jiu Hui patted his head: "Next time there is something good like this, I will definitely call you."

City Lord Tao coughed twice and said, "Jade Immortal Venerable, I will take the two children to the next room to tidy up things so as not to be impolite later."

Yu Jing nodded, and after the Tao family father and son left, she looked at Jiu Hui with satisfaction: "Jiu Hui, you did a great job today."

"Then do I get a reward?" Jiu Hui stretched out her hand in front of the jade mirror.

"What's the hurry?" Yu Jing smiled gently, stretched out his index finger and tapped Jiu Hui's palm: "As a disciple of our sect, you must know how to respect your teachers and elders. When you arrive at Jiu Tian Sect, I will take you to meet the elders of Jiu Tian Sect."

"Master, my hands are itching." Jiu Hui held Yu Jing's index finger and rubbed it on Yu Jing: "Master, please rest assured, I will never let you down."

Zhiyou looked at the intimate master and disciple duo, and reached out to straighten his crooked hair crown.

What does it mean to respect teachers and elders? Why not respect teachers and morality

"Let's go to the other room and let me dress you up nicely." Yu Jing pinched Jiu Hui's little face and said, "Little girls should dress up beautifully."

"Thank you, Master. I love you the most." Jiu Hui hugged Yu Jing's arm, and the master and disciple walked out of the room intimately. The room gradually became quiet.

Zhiyou held the teacup, looking at the sunlight coming in through the cracks in the window, and recalled how Jiuhui had slapped him out of the flying boat today, how Jiuhui had shaken his shoulders and prevented him from opening his eyes, and how she had wanted to share half a bag of spirit stones with him...

No, what about the spirit stones that should be given to him

After taking a sip of tea, Zhiyou turned his head and saw himself in the bronze mirror. He was actually - smiling.

"Master, Master, it hurts, it hurts..."

In the next room, Jiu Hui covered her head and said, "My disciple's hair is about to break."

"The Feifeng Lingyun bun needs to be tied higher and tighter to look good." Yujing pressed Jiuhui: "Don't move, don't move, it will be done soon."

After fixing the last hairpin, Yu Jing handed the mirror on her waist to Jiu Hui: "Take a look, isn't it beautiful?"

"Master, your mirror is too small." Jiu Hui took out a standing mirror that was bigger than her head from her ring and placed it on the table, holding her face and looking left and right.

Her eyebrows are like willow leaves, and there is a light rouge smudge at the corners of her eyes. She looks kind and innocent no matter how you look at her.

With a face like that, even if she broke a vase in public, others would only worry whether she would be frightened, rather than speculating whether she did it on purpose.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Yu Jing used a pen to draw a small flower ornament on Jiu Hui's forehead, making this already innocent face look more pitiful.

"Master, you are so amazing." Jiuhui was very satisfied with her makeup.

"Well, it seems that my skills have not declined." Yujing was also very satisfied: "A gentleman hides his ability and waits for the right time to act. He appears dull to others and sharp to himself."

"I will remember Master's teachings." Jiu Hui held Yu Jing's hand and said, "Master, don't worry. I will protect myself well."

"I feel relieved when you say this." Yu Jing opened the window. "Among all living beings, there are those with outstanding abilities as numerous as stars. I am an ordinary teacher. I do not ask you to become famous, nor do I ask you to strengthen our sect. I only hope that you are safe." Jiu Hui looked up at Yu Jing.

Yu Jing chuckled and said, "This is what your master told me when he first took me out. I am passing it on to you now."

"The Grandmaster must love Master very much." Jiu Hui affirmed: "People who don't love you enough only care about whether you are successful enough, but people who really love you care about whether you are living well and whether you are safe. So..."

She drawled out her tone and looked into the jade mirror.

"So what?" Yu Jing looked at her with a smile.

"So Master must love me very much." Jiu Hui raised her little head proudly, smiling with curved eyebrows: "Am I right, disciple?"

Yu Jing walked up to her and gave her a slap on the head: "Let's go to Jiutian Sect."

Jiu Hui followed her, skipping and jumping. She understood that the elders were just like that. As long as they didn't refute, it meant they acknowledged it.

The people from the Shenji Sect rushed to the Jiutian Sect in a dejected manner and found that the atmosphere in the Jiutian Sect was a little strange. The leader of the Shenji Sect secretly felt guilty. Could it be that the news that they bullied a small sect had spread to all the guests

"Sect Master Bo." Nanluo came out to greet the Sect Master of Shenji Sect: "I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Sect Master Bo, please come this way."

"Thank you, thank you." He dared to be arrogant in front of the small sect, but he didn't dare to be rude to the chief disciple of Jiutian Sect.

Following Nanluo, Sect Leader Bo stepped into the inner hall and found that many sect leaders turned their heads to look at him. They took a step back in fear.

How is this going

In fact, no one wanted to see the old orange-peel face of Sect Leader Bo, but the atmosphere in the inner hall was too depressing, so they wanted to find a reason to distract their attention.

If they had known that Qinglan Sect would come, they would... have come later.

After the arrival of Sect Leader Bo, everyone greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries, the only thing missing was someone asking about the Shen Ji Sect's dog.

The flattered Sect Leader Bo was secretly delighted. Has the status of their Shenji Sect become so high that even the leaders of the ten major sects are taking the initiative to care about him

Qiuhua sat lazily on the large carved chair, looking at a slowly floating white cloud outside the window, as if all the hustle and bustle in the hall had nothing to do with her.

As more and more sects arrived, she slowly frowned and looked at the door.

After the arrival of Changshou Palace and Yuzhen Sect, everyone left Sect Leader Bo and started chatting with the two sects.

"Master Jin, why didn't your father come?"

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. My father is in seclusion, so I am here to congratulate Master Yin Ji on his behalf."

"Your father has a high level of cultivation and a good son like you. How enviable."

"Uncle is joking."

Sect Leader Bo, who was briefly noticed by the other sect leaders but was quickly ignored, said: "..."

Is there no one talking to him

"Master Pao, why are you sitting here alone without saying anything?" Jin Qingqiu seemed to have heard his inner cry and took the initiative to talk to him: "Is it because you overturned someone else's flying boat and lost the spirit stones and you are not happy about it?"

The flesh on Sect Leader Bo's cheeks trembled. It would be better if no one paid any attention to him.

"Overturned the flying boat?" Jiutian Sect's leader Bu Ting looked over.

Sect Leader Bo looked at Jin Qingqiu with pleading eyes, "Young Master, could you please say less?"

It seemed as if the heavens had heard his prayers, so the next person to speak was Changshou Palace Luokui, not Jin Qingqiu.

Luo Kui's good reputation is known to the world. If she tells this story, it will have a greater impact than if Jin Qingqiu told it.

After hearing the whole story, everyone frowned.

“Crack.”

Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from. The teacup next to the Qinglan Sect's leader was cracked, and tea was dripping under the table.

"Who gave you the courage to bully others at the foot of Jiu Tian Sect's mountain?" Qiu Hua raised his eyelids and said with extreme disdain: "Did Jiu Tian Sect give it to you?"

The disciples of Jiutian Sect: "..."

I know that you have a grudge against our clan leader, but don't put the blame on us.

As Jiu Hui and her two disciples just walked to the entrance of the hall, they saw something flying in front of them.

"Eh?" Jiu Hui squatted down and took a look: "Why is Sect Master Bo doing such a great honor to a junior?" She was about to reach out to help him: "You can't do this, absolutely not."

Sect Leader Bo glared at her, spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and fainted.

Jiu Hui quickly took two steps back, proving with practical actions that Sect Leader Bo’s coma had nothing to do with her.

She leaned close to Yu Jing's ear and said, "Master, I forgot to ask you along the way. What gifts have we prepared?"

"Peach."

"Ah... Ah, yes!" Jiu Hui rolled her eyes. "I remember now. This is the fruit from the oldest peach tree in our sect. It takes ten years to bloom, ten years to bear fruit, and ten years to mature. Giving this fruit as a gift can show the sincerity of our sect."

"When did we..." Zhiyou wondered, when did our sect have this kind of peach tree

"Yes." Jiu Hui interrupted his unspoken doubts: "The moment Master picked the peaches, it was there."

The author has something to say:

Little Leek: This is not an ordinary peach, this is the legendary peach that can only be picked once every thirty years!

Yu Jing: Ah, yes, yes, yes, disciple is right!

Jiyou: Oh…
