Who wouldn’t make money now that they’ve all ascended?

Chapter 304 Reminiscing about the past

Jiang Su then remembered that he was very angry because his own demon pet was bitten by the insect of the Gu cultivator. He was so angry that he forgot that his body was stained with blood.

She waved her hand and made a cleansing gesture quickly and decisively. In an instant, the thick blood in her hair disappeared without a trace.

"Let's go."

The two walked slowly towards Huichun Hall.

There was an endless stream of noisy sounds around me, the streets were crowded with people, and steam was rising from the tea stalls.

"It's winter now, would you like a cup of hot tea? The boss over there is an expert in tea ceremony, and he has developed a new tea called Wanqiumian, which has a strong aroma and fragrance. Even Zhang Cai drinks a pot of it every day."

Jiang Su looked in the direction of Xie Pingsheng's finger, and saw that the tea stall was crowded with people. The waiter was in a hurry, holding five or six teapots in his hands at a time. He even strung five teapots together with a magical sword, all of which were steaming.

The porcelain cups knocked against the table, and the pots and porcelain pots collided with each other, making a clinking sound. Amid the noise, there was a hint of peace.

Jiang Su stared at this scene for a long time, and her legs felt as if they were filled with lead and she could no longer lift them.

The smell of fireworks...

"I wonder if the monks of the Merciless Way will like this scenery." She asked for no reason.

Xie Pingsheng replied, "Most of the monks of the Wuqing Dao are warm on the outside but cold on the inside. They often hang out at tea stalls like this. Only after going through the mortal world can you understand that the Supreme Forgetting Emotions is not Heartless."

Jiang Su let his words go in one ear and out the other.

"Then it seems that I am quite suitable for the ruthless way. After all, after seeing this scene, I also want to join in the fun." Jiang Su sighed casually.

Xie Pingsheng glanced at her expression and his eyebrows slightly curved.

"Then come and sit for a while. I'm afraid that after you leave, it will be hard to find a tea stall like this again. In the Middle-earth, there are people from all over the world, and the tea stalls are much more noisy than here."

"You and I are communicating in secret. This tea is my way of welcoming Miss Jiang."

Xie Pingsheng found a seat at the edge of the tea stall and ordered tea and snacks. Jiang Su then sat down on a wooden chair. The two of them looked at each other in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

"I heard that Miss Jiang became the number one in medicine and alchemy in the world's sect competition when she went to the Central Plains this time. With such talent, it's really unfair for you to be a small medical fairy in my Huichun Hall, earning 30 Yuan stones a day." Xie Pingsheng took the hot teapot and poured a cup for Jiang Su.

The tea water is clear and green, with two small leaves of tea floating on the surface, swirling in microwaves.

Jiang Su raised her eyebrows slightly and whispered teasingly, "Why don't you thank the hall master for increasing my Yuanshi?"

Xie Pingsheng tilted his head and asked seriously, "I should increase some Yuanshi for you, but will you still be in Shifangmen?"

"I heard that Miss Jiang won the second round of the competition and became the number one in the world. If I remember correctly, the final winner will be rewarded with an entire floating island. Doesn't Miss Jiang live on the floating island?"

Jiang Su said frankly, "I plan to open a clinic on the floating island, but I am not good at running a clinic after all. This time I came back, I also planned to learn from Master Xie."

She changed the subject, with a sly smile on her face, "Master Xie, are you... not going to teach me?"

Xie Pingsheng chuckled, holding the porcelain cup in front of him, blew away the heat on the water, and took a sip, "Miss Jiang wants to know, I am naturally willing to be your teacher."

"As a teacher..."

Jiang Su's smile gradually faded, his eyes gradually turned cold, his expression was indifferent, and after a long silence, he spoke again, "Master Xie, do you know what happened to the Shifang Sect? What is the Mirror Lake in the mountains? Why have the Southern Xinjiang Gu cultivators been lingering outside the sect? Are you willing to be my teacher and answer my questions?"

She asked three questions at once, but she wanted to know more than that.

She also wanted to know whether what Gu Yueming said was true or not, whether the people of the Gu Yue clan died because of the Shifang Sect, and whether the sect treated the orphan Gu Yueming harshly...

There is a feeling in the Shifang Sect today that a storm is about to come, as if the sea tide has risen imperceptibly and the boat is about to capsize.

The warmth on Xie Pingsheng's face faded slightly, and the gentleness and faint smile between his brows gradually froze.

"So these are the things that confuse Miss Jiang." His tone was very light, as if it was just a very small matter.

"Miss Jiang, I will use pen and paper to organize the management of the clinic. Mr. Wenming also has some books on this subject. You can take them with you. I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to understand the principles in them. The management of a clinic is different from other businesses, except that it has a more human touch."

His answer was beyond her question.

It seems... Master Xie doesn't want to say it.

Jiang Su narrowed her eyes slightly and said bluntly, "Master Xie seems unwilling to answer my questions. Now you and I have only been reunited for a short time and you are already chasing me away."

Her tone was quite teasing.

But Xie Pingsheng stared at her with deep eyes, "Miss Jiang, the matter of Shifangmen has nothing to do with you, and there is no need for you to get involved. You will lose your life."

"Oh? What I'm least afraid of is losing my life." The girl in green met his gaze, trying to see through everything in the quiet autumn water. "Besides, I'm a disciple of the Ten Directions Sect. When I entered the inner... the Hundred Thousand Mountains, I also signed a contract."

She analyzed to herself, "Hall Master Xie's reaction now shows that the matter of Shifang Sect is not a trivial matter. It is very likely that the elders are already handling it. If I measure the enemy by their cultivation level and compare it with my own, I will die very easily."

"To be honest, I guess this matter must involve Gu Xiu. Now Gu Xiu has been driven out of Shifang Sect, but I just found Gu insects on my pet monster at home. Could it be that Gu Xiu wants to completely turn the sect into a nest for breeding insects?"

"My demon pet just wanted to kill me."

Jiang Su was only half sure about her guess. She even knew in her heart that she herself was prejudiced against Gu practitioners.

She didn't understand Gu Xiu, never had.

Xie Pingsheng shook his head. "That's not the case. I can't explain the reason, but I can only tell you that Nanjiang is adjacent to Shifangmen, and they are not really villains."

Jiang Su grasped the key point and frowned, "Who is the real villain?"

"Yes……"

"human nature."

The young girl in green suddenly smiled, her face as pretty as a flower, "Humanity, I thought it had been shattered when everyone was struck by lightning."

"So in the final analysis, what kind of desire is it? Greed? Or arrogance? It can't be lust."

Xie Pingsheng looked at the tea in the porcelain cup in his hand, his slender eyelashes covering his eyes, "There is greed, arrogance..." He raised his eyes to look at the girl in green, and said lightly, "It may also be lust."

"..."

Before he finished speaking, he added, "I'm afraid Miss Jiang doesn't have a true understanding of herself."

"There are always a lot of people staring at you."

Jiang Su blinked her eyes and was confused when she heard this. What did she mean by there were a lot of people staring at her?
As a medical fairy, she can only cure diseases but not kill people. She has no fighting power in the upper realm. Even if she can cure diseases, she can send people back for a day trip to the King of Hell as long as the money is paid.

So...what are you staring at her for?
