I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 192 Fourth Senior Brother

"Does this Elder Zhu have a bad relationship with Master?"

After the two elders left, Xiao Qi didn't avoid Yu Qingfeng and directly asked Qin Yu.

"You'll have to ask your martial aunt about that," Qin Yu said dismissively. "Your martial aunt's heart is with our master, but she won't give up and has been pestering him for years. I bet the rumors circulating outside are mostly her doing."

Yu Qingfeng, who had originally intended to scold the two children, changed her mind and asked, "What rumors?"

Qin Yu quickly complained, "Uncle-Master, you don't know yet, but it's all over the place now. They're saying that Xiao Qi isn't Master's little disciple at all, but an illegitimate daughter. Master isn't coming back because he has a Daoist partner, and in order to enjoy himself with his partner, he's just throwing his daughter back to the sect for you to raise."

Yu Qingfeng's face grew darker and darker as she listened, and finally she slammed her hand on the table in anger, "This is utter nonsense! It's outrageous!"

Xiao Qi was stunned. Good heavens, this story is quite convincing.

Qin Yu continued to sow discord among Elder Zhu's eyes, "Uncle-Master, think about the purpose of this rumor! If my master has another man outside, then Uncle-Master An has no chance, right? If Uncle-Master An has no chance, then Zhu Wenying has a chance again."

"Shut up!"

Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Yu Qingfeng interrupted him with a flick of her sleeve, lightly scolding, "What nonsense are you spouting? Although Zhu Wenying may be a bit petty, she wouldn't resort to such clumsy methods. Alright, I'll have someone investigate the rumors. Don't make any more unfounded speculations."

Xiao Qi asked curiously, "Why would you say I'm Master's illegitimate daughter? Master isn't married, can't I be her legitimate daughter?"

"Because Master has a fiancé."

"Qin Yu!"

Yu Qingfeng roared again, this time louder than usual, making Qin Yu and Xiao Qi, the two little golden cores, feel a buzzing in their ears, almost causing tinnitus.

The two little ones finally realized they were scared and dared not utter another word.

Yu Qingfeng waved her hand, setting up a barrier in the main hall to prevent outsiders from observing.

Once their hearing had improved and they had recovered, he said with a dark face, "What brings you here? Let's get down to business."

Meng Qi explained her purpose for coming and even took out the blueprints for a hand grenade that she had drawn herself.

Yu Qingfeng glanced at it; it wasn't complicated. He said, "I'll have the people from Qifeng take a look and make a sample first. If you think it's acceptable, then we can continue."

Meng Qi's eyes lit up; this meant she had agreed.

My senior uncle is so kind, such a good person.

However, if a lot of things need to be done, it's hard to imagine how many spirit stones it will cost.

Meng Qi had no concept of currency in this world, but she knew from Qin Yu that refining weapons was the most expensive thing.

She didn't want to owe anyone a favor, after all, her senior uncle wasn't her master.

So after returning from Yu Qingfeng's place, I started tidying up. I took out all the spirit stones from my storage ring, but I didn't touch the spirit crystals. Although they were more valuable, there weren't many left, so I decided to keep them for the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

Another thing is the spirit stones they robbed on the way here, but even if they took them all out, there wouldn't be many. Come to think of it, if someone has to resort to robbing others to survive, they're probably a poor wretch.

All the spirit stones were piled together, with high-grade, mid-grade, and ordinary ones separated. Actually, whether they were separated or not was meaningless, because there were only five high-grade stones, eight mid-grade stones, and the rest were all ordinary ones, totaling 70,000.

Qin Yu scoffed from the side, "Fifth Senior Brother is such a spendthrift. He earns a lot but spends a lot too. The fact that he has so many spirit stones left over the years is probably because Master gave them to him."

Mengqi asked, "Is there any way to make money?"

"What money are we going to make? Who wants to make money?"

Suddenly a gruff voice broke through, and along with it appeared a tall figure. "Fourth Senior Brother, you're back?"

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Qin Yu immediately stood up and happily went to greet them, "I thought it would be a while before you arrived at the sect, but I didn't expect you to be back so soon."

Meng Qi looked up and met a pair of beautiful, inquisitive peach blossom eyes. In contrast to the handsome face and eyes, the other person was strong and tall.

"Is this the junior sister that Master just took in?"

Ji Huaien strode in and looked at the young girl sitting at the table, who had a high ponytail and a dashing, spirited air about her, and asked her a question.

Yes, a high ponytail. Meng Qi's hair unexpectedly grew long a few days ago when she formed her core. It suddenly went from short hair to long hair, as black as ink, like black satin.

To this day, she still can't understand why forming a bud would cause her hair to grow so long, while everyone else thinks it's normal and no one has tried to explain it to her.

Even Qin Yu said, "Isn't it normal for it to be long?"

Okay, that's normal, then she won't ask anymore.

"I wasn't just taken in; I was taken in by Master right after I was born," Meng Qi explained, while standing up to greet her fourth senior brother.

Ji Huaien laughed and said, "It's all the same, but Junior Sister, why didn't Master come back with you?"

Meng Qi doesn't need to explain this; Qin Yu will tell him.

After the two finished talking, when Ji Huaien asked to see the photos, Meng Qi reluctantly took out her smartwatch.

The tablet had run out of battery from being used by her master, so she used a power bank to charge the smartwatch for a while before turning it on and showing him a photo of her and her master.

"Master."

To Meng Qi's surprise, this grown man actually shed a few tears on the spot, and even choked up and couldn't speak for a moment.

She looked at Ji Huaien speechlessly.

"Is Xiao Wu refining his true form?"

"Yes, I estimate we'll be able to leave the country in a few days."

Ji Huaien wiped his face, composed himself, and looked at Meng Qi, asking, "Junior Sister, are you and Xiao Wu going back?"

"Of course, Master is still waiting for us."

"Did Master say that Xiao Liu and I should go too?"

My arrival was an accident, how could I possibly let you pass again?
Meng Qi genuinely felt that her fourth senior brother was a man of strong emotions; he had been so preoccupied with his grief that he hadn't listened attentively.

She decided to change the subject, "Fourth Senior Brother, I heard you're skilled in weapon crafting?"

Ji Huaien readily nodded, "Yes, what does Junior Sister want? Senior Brother will make it for you. By the way, I haven't given Junior Sister a gift yet. You like things related to weapon crafting, right? Would you like a flying boat?"

As he spoke, he pulled out an exquisite little flying boat from his storage ring and placed it in front of Meng Qi. "This was custom-made for someone else, but they wanted to back out of the agreed price, so I got angry and refused to sell it to them. If you like it, Junior Sister, you can make do with it for now. I'll have a custom-made one made for you later."

That's quite a generous gesture!
Could it be that her fourth senior brother is a tycoon?
Meng Qi had heard from her fifth senior brother that a small flying boat here would cost at least one million spirit stones.

One million! And Fourth Senior Brother just casually threw it in front of her?
That's not all; he wanted to make another one for her.

At this moment, Meng Qi heard her sixth senior brother whisper to her, "Junior sister, I forgot to remind you, your fourth senior brother is a ninth-grade weapon refiner, he's very rich, so you won't have to worry about making the hand grenades you want."
