Chapter 74: Mermaid Tears

Views:

Si Kou Luo came and went like the wind, leaving Zhu Changyang feeling a little confused.

Nan Rongbo complained for a while, and finally decided with great courage: "I will apologize to him twice at most. If he still doesn't calm down, then I will get angry too."

Zhu Changyang was sweating profusely.

This guy's mentality is also very confusing. Even though he has decided to get angry, he still insists on repairing his relationship with Si Kou Luo.

Who wouldn’t say it’s touching after watching it

"Forget it, let's not talk about him." Nan Rongbo tapped the handle of his fan, his eyes fell on the materials on the table, pretending to be curious, "Hey, are you refining weapons?"

Zhu Changyang: “…”

The topic change was a bit abrupt.

"Speaking of which, Sect Master Sikou has suffered heavy losses in saving Fairy Xia Jue this time, and I was thinking of sending him some nourishing things before he leaves." Nan Rongbo fiddled with the things on the table while asking, "Brothers are all weapon refiners, do you have any suggestions?"

Zhu Changyang thought to himself, "How would I know what the weapon refiners in your world of cultivation need? And aren't you going to be angry with Si Kou Luo? Why are you still thinking of giving him a gift?"

After thinking about it, I decided to tell the truth, "Red dates and wolfberries, they clear the liver, improve eyesight, replenish blood and invigorate Qi. I used to drink this when I stayed up late."

“… Thank you for your valuable advice. I decided to think about it carefully.” Nan Rongbo’s mouth twitched slightly, and he put down the bottle he had just picked up.

He was a little absent-minded and didn't pay attention to the position. Half of the bottle fell outside the edge of the table and fell down as soon as he let go.

Nan Rongbo was suddenly awakened, and with a cry of "Ah!" he quickly threw out his fan to hold the bottle.

Fortunately, he was very skilled and with a slight wave of the fan the bottle flew back onto the table.

However, the bottle was open, and some of the liquid in the bottle spilled out when it was shaken.

"Oh, sorry, sorry," Nan Rongbo slapped his forehead, "Look how much you spilled..."

"It's okay." Zhu Changyang glanced at the bottle and waved his hand, "It just spilled a little."

Nan Rongbo breathed a sigh of relief, unfolded his fan and waved it, still a little embarrassed: "What is this? How about I go to the Jijin Sect warehouse to see if there is any, and if there is, I can get some to compensate you."

He said this as if the Jijinzong warehouse was his self-service supermarket.

After hearing this, Qi Tongchen wanted to hit someone.

“No, no.” Zhu Changyang was speechless. “These are the tears that the mermaid gave me. It’s nothing serious…”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly said, "Brother Nanrong, your fan?"

"What?" Nan Rongbo followed his line of sight and looked down, only to find that on the surface of his fan that was wet by the mermaid's tears, golden marks were slowly emerging.

"What is this?" Nan Rongbo asked in confusion, "Can the tears of a mermaid leave marks like this?"

"No." Zhu Changyang took a closer look, "This should be Jin Mo..."

At this point, he suddenly had an idea in his mind, and remembered a point of knowledge that Elder Cen had mentioned in class before - golden ink mixed with blazing grass dew can make one invisible, and the tears of the mermaid can make the dried blazing grass dew reveal traces again.

"Wait a moment." Zhu Changyang seemed to be thinking about something. He immediately took out a handful of plastic from his pocket, used spiritual fire to refine a spray bottle on the spot, poured the bottle of mermaid's tears into it, and then sprayed a layer evenly on Nan Rongbo's fan.

Nan Rongbo was confused at first, but he soon understood.

As the mermaid's tears wet the fan, the gold ink mark on the fan slowly took on its complete appearance.

It turned out to be a giant turtle.

Nan Rongbo: ???!

"These people from the Jijin Sect are too much!" Nan Rongbo was furious. "It's ok for them to joke around, but they actually secretly drew a turtle on my fan! Fine, I will go back to Hehuan Palace tomorrow and never come to this lousy place again."

After saying that, he put away his fan and left angrily.

Zhu Changyang: “…”

Is there no one who can leave his house peacefully today

However, he vaguely felt that the turtle on Nan Rong's thin fan was most likely not painted by the disciples of Ji Jin Sect.

The production of Fiery Grass Dew is limited, and ordinary disciples have to apply for it before they can use it in refining equipment. Who would be willing to waste it on Nan Rongbo

Besides, it is unlikely that ordinary people can touch Nan Rongbo's fan without being discovered.

Of course the most important reason is that Zhu Changyang has already locked on the target of suspicion in his mind.

He took out the elementary school homework book of Sect Leader Sikou from his pocket, turned to the page about Blazing Grass Dew, and read through the Sect Leader's study notes from that year:

[It can make weapons produce a fiery effect. It can make weapons more powerful. It can be used to draw turtles. ]

When Zhu Changyang first saw the last sentence, he thought it was just a prank made by the young and frivolous leader of Sikou Sect. Now, when he read it again, he suddenly felt that this sentence was not simple.

The sect leader wouldn't still have this hobby, right

Zhu Changyang thought about it, picked up the spray bottle, and sprayed a layer of mermaid tears on the homework book.

As he expected, as the water vapor wet the paper, new golden handwriting gradually appeared on the yellowed paper.

They were exactly a bunch of simple little turtles, and the style of painting was very similar to the one on Nan Rong's thin fan.

It seems that Sikou Luo's painting skills have not improved in hundreds of years.

Zhu Changyang complained in his heart, and noticed a line of small words next to the turtle, so he took a closer look: [Elder Cen just farted, it seems that the fasting was not very good and it stinks]

Zhu Changyang: “…?”

He recalled in his mind the appearance of Si Kouluo that he had seen in the past two days: serious and stern.

Look at the notes in the exercise book again: Unruly!

Wow, it turns out that the dignified Sikou Sect Leader has two faces.

In a gossipy mood, Zhu Changyang sprayed a layer of mermaid tears on the rest of his notes, and it turned out that golden ink appeared on every page.

One can't help but feel that Si Kou Luo must have been very highly valued by the sect back then, which is why he could use the Fiery Grass Dew so unscrupulously. This treatment is not something that ordinary disciples can enjoy.

What's more, I didn't expect that the current leader of Sikou, who is very frugal with words, was actually so lively and talkative when he was young.

Zhu Changyang was reading with great interest while shedding tears. There were no punctuation marks in the notes, so he had to use a pencil to break the sentences before he could understand them:

[I’m so annoyed. I have to ask the senior brother to set an example again. I shouldn’t have come to sign up so early. Whoever wants to do it can do it.]

[What Elder Bai said is too old-fashioned. It would be better if I did it.]

[Today, I visited Hehuan Palace. There are so many beauties. This is the sect I should join. ]

[Kunlun is more serious than our sect, luckily I didn't go there, and Gupeng Secret Realm is also very boring. ]

[I don't want to refine weapons anymore. I want to practice dual cultivation, find love, and find a Taoist partner to go down the mountain to practice together. I've decided. I will apply to withdraw from the sect in two days.]

[Master is concerned about me again. How can I quit the sect?]

[Tomorrow is a quiz, just make something at random.]

[Why am I number one again? These useless junior brothers and sisters, I have decided, I will go find a junior brother and beat him up later. ]

[Another banquet is coming up. I hate this the most. I don’t enjoy the food and the food is not good. I hope Elder Cen will stop farting. ]

[Yong Zhoutian is such a jerk, he acts like he has never refined a divine weapon before. I will refine one tonight.]

[Haha, I still win, Yong Zhoutian, get lost.]

[My nightmare has come true. My master really wants me to be the next sect leader and then find a useless junior fellow apprentice to beat up.]

[Day, the Jijin Clan needs me.]

[I can’t let my master down.]

[Start being a real senior brother today.]

[We must take on the responsibility of being the eldest senior brother.]

[I won’t look for love anymore, it will delay my cultivation.]

[Be dignified.]

[Be responsible.]

[Be serious.]

[So be it.]

The notes are written in a very scattered manner, probably because they are written down whenever they come to mind. Interspersed in the middle are some complaints from simple turtles and the elders from the opposite sect, as well as a lot of swear words, but these are concentrated in the first half.

The content of the second half of the book gradually becomes less and less. It can be seen that Si Kou Luo has no intention of continuing to slack off. The occasional note is mostly an exclamation after teaching his fellow junior brothers and sisters a lesson.

Zhu Changyang read it sentence by sentence and was speechless for a long time.

I never expected that the style of painting of Sect Leader Sikou was like this back then.

Work changes people beyond recognition.

And it seems that Elder Cen’s fasting is not going very well.

Studio:

[Damn it, my mom is shocked! Si Kouluo used to be such a person!!!]

[It's not just in the past. It's said that it's hard to change a person's nature. I suspect he's still like that now. He just suppresses his nature to maintain the image of the clan leader! ]

[Ah, I'm not very good at reading traditional Chinese characters. What did Si Kou Luo write? Please summarize! ]

[To be honest, when I saw his note that said "drawing a turtle", I felt that this guy was not simple! ]

[Speaking of which, do you think his attitude towards Nan Rongbo is strange? ]

[You just discovered it! I have long felt that something is wrong. Everyone in Jijin Sect seems to think that Nan Rongbo has committed an unforgivable crime against Si Kou Luo, but Nan Rongbo can still come and go freely in Jijin Sect and has lived there for such a long time. There must be someone who condones this, and it must be someone of high status. Who do you think it could be?!]

[Thank you, I got it! Oh my god, I am so ashamed that I didn't notice the problem with these two for so long. It's all because of Zhu Changyang's daily showmanship, which made me dizzy and my ability to get sugar has decreased. ]

Before Zhu Changyang came back to his senses from Si Kou Luo's notes, he saw another person coming to the door, it was Qi Tongchen.

Zhu Changyang quickly put away his notes and stood up to greet him.

Qi Tongchen was beaming with joy and said, "Brothers, my master has just ordered a banquet to be held in the main hall tomorrow to thank you and Brother Jun for your great help. Please do me a favor."

Zhu Changyang was slightly stunned: "No need to be so polite..."

"No, it's my duty." Qi Tongchen waved his hand and continued happily, "It just so happens that Nan Rongbo is about to return to Hehuan Palace, so I can see him off at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

As he spoke, he did not forget to complain, "Thank God, he finally remembered to go home. I was in a lot of trouble when Master came out of retreat these past two days. Master definitely doesn't want to see him."

Zhu Changyang: “…”

He once naively thought so, but now, he feels that it is not necessarily true.

When your master was young, he wanted to enter the Hehuan Palace.

However, judging from the attitude of Qi Tongchen and the disciples of Jijin Sect when they mentioned the Sect Master, Si Kou Luo was undoubtedly very majestic.

I think this clan leader is indeed very responsible.

Qi Tongchen continued to talk about the banquet. Zhu Changyang felt mixed emotions when he heard it. Thinking of Si Kou Luo's complaints about the banquet in his notes, he couldn't help but interrupt him: "I think the banquet is too serious and boring. How about we have a simple buffet party?"

Before Qi Tongchen could respond, Jun Shu's voice came from outside: "What is the self-help ladder?"

Zhu Changyang looked up and saw Jun Shu walking in slowly, with a gorgeous black cat following him. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a little relief: "So you went to walk the cat. I thought you were sleeping."

Brother Jun used to take naps every day and would never move unless he had to. Now he actually takes the initiative to walk the cat. This is quite a big change.

Jun Shu glanced at him quietly, and said accusingly, "You have been refining the weapon the whole time. How can I sleep alone?"

Zhu Changyang:

Wait, what does this mean

Before he could figure it out, Qi Tongchen asked again what climbing the ladder meant.

Zhu Changyang had no choice but to suppress the strangeness in his heart for the time being and gave a brief explanation.

Qi Tongchen heard about this kind of banquet for the first time. He was surprised but also a little skeptical. "Will this work?"

Zhu Changyang smiled and said, "Give it a try."

Jun glanced at him and nodded: "Try it."

Developer: “Meow meow meow.”

Qi Tongchen: “…”

This family of three has such a tacit understanding, they speak in unison, it's impossible to refuse them.
