Chapter 326 Reward
"Friend Wei, what a coincidence."
The man walked in and looked around without talking to the boss.
At a table in the reception area, there was a dark-skinned little girl with most of her body pressed on the table, flipping through a large picture album with sparkling eyes. A female cultivator in green stood tall and straight beside her, like a sharp sword that had not been unsheathed.
The female cultivator was very quiet. Only when the child occasionally pointed at something and tilted his head to ask her, "Master, does this look good?" would she bend down, look at it carefully, and then express her approval.
It was Wei Wenxin, the most famous senior sister of Wanjian Sect.
He had seen this kind of scene countless times, when his wife was still alive and his daughter was caring...
Although it was a bit of a spoiler to break the warmth of the room, Xiao Mingyuan didn't want to wait any longer and spoke directly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Wei Wenxin straighten up, turn sideways, gently touch the girl's head, and look at him with a faint but determined smile on her face. Xiao Mingyuan knew that he had done something wrong.
As expected of a descendant of a great clan, his ability to control people's hearts seems to be innate.
Both of them knew why she made this trip, but she suppressed her curiosity and acted unhurried.
She was betting that he would come to her first.
Then, she won.
Immediately turn passivity into initiative.
But Xiao Mingyuan doesn't care about these.
"Well, long time no see."
Wei Wenxin didn't even know his name, she only knew that he was Hua Manshi's father and Senior Hua's husband, so it wasn't wrong to answer like that.
More than a hundred years ago, the other party was in the Jindan stage, and now he has just advanced to the early Yuanying stage. The two of them can barely be considered of the same generation. If they meet, they can be friendly and call each other fellow Taoists.
Seeing her response, Xiao Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know how to start next.
Because the matter involved the person he cared about the most, he didn't want to say it in front of outsiders, even though the boss was his senior from the same school.
Seeing that his mouth was closed into a straight line, he glanced at the boss quickly.
Wei Wenxin understood immediately.
"Speaking of which, I was traveling a while ago and happened to meet your daughter at the Piaoxue Sect. She asked me to bring you good luck, and I happened to meet you here, so I didn't have to make a special trip."
Having said that, he was waiting for Xiao Mingyuan to take the initiative to invite him.
Xiao Mingyuan was not stupid either, he immediately raised his hand and saluted:
"My daughter has been away from home for several years, and I miss her very much. I am very happy to get news about her. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wei can satisfy the deep love of a poor old father for his daughter and tell me more about her recent situation?"
His words were extremely sincere, and Wei Wenxin did not take advantage of him and said directly:
"I'm afraid I can't finish talking about this in a short while. Why don't I finish my work here and go to your store to find you?"
Xiao Mingyuan had no objection.
But he did not leave immediately. Instead, he found his boss and asked about the anti-sand curtains he had ordered.
Heiguo knew that his master came here to find this person for something, so he immediately picked up the notebook at hand, closed the album neatly, and stopped flipping through the pages.
"Master, I have made my choice!"
"Well, give it to me."
Wei Wenxin took the notebook and followed him to the counter.
Senior Gongsun had deep dimples. He held a white feather duster in one hand, supported his chin with his folded hand, and placed the other hand on the counter. He was slightly tilted, half leaning behind the counter, looking at this and that.
But she said nothing.
He accepted Wei Wenxin's large order with a smile, asked her to come back to pick it up in three days, and also presented her with the sand-proof curtains ordered by Xiao Mingyuan.
"This year's sandstorm season started almost half a month earlier. Many shops were not prepared in a hurry. The old sand curtains were not repaired in time, and new ones were not purchased in time. The price of sand curtains has increased significantly in the past two days. The construction period is there, and we really can't accept so many orders. Therefore, many people can't buy them even if they pay twice the price. You are really far-sighted to order in advance."
When it comes to his younger generation, Senior Gongsun's words are more casual.
"When I was little, my mother always told me to be prepared, so I made it a habit."
Wei Wenxin placed the order and waited on the side. Hearing him say this, she couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart.
She had known for a long time that this person was not one of the small group of talented people who were most valued by the Lihuo Sect.
If not for this, he would not have been captured by the "Hehuan Sect's Witch Woman" in the sect's market.
But, there is no doubt that this is a very charismatic person.
Just these two insignificant advantages of frankness and sincerity are enough to make him win a passing score in everyone's heart.
Not to mention that he also has other attributes, such as being loyal in love and caring for his family, which are quite rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
Even though his wife had passed away many years ago, he still mentioned her from time to time. Whenever he encountered something related to her, he could not help but rush to her anxiously and desperately.
Wei Wenxin suddenly understood Senior Hua’s choice.
After going through so many things, who wouldn’t love a couple with such sincere and passionate emotions?
Well, there’s no need to be in love. Except for a widower like her, most normal people would fall in love.
The two of them finished their own business, said goodbye to Senior Gongsun, and left the store one after another. "Friend Wei, please follow me."
Xiao Mingyuan consciously led the way in front.
Wei Wenxin followed immediately.
Ling Cang transformed into its original form and walked slowly beside Wei Wenxin. Hei Guo sat on its neck, still immersed in excitement.
Seeing that the master and the senior didn't say anything and just kept walking forward, I began to look around curiously.
Everything about the Lihuo Sect is different from that of the Wanjian Sect. This is really attractive to a child!
The sky was gloomy and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing up the red dust unique to the Lihuo Sect.
The sandstorm season has indeed arrived early.
The sky is not gloomy, but filled with brilliant rays of light. The red sand glows slightly under the rays of light, and it is extremely romantic as the sunset approaches.
In order to pursue this once-a-year romance, probably all the love-minded people in the world come here.
Wei Wenxin didn't care about these things. He had never been here during the sandstorm season in previous years. It was just a coincidence this time.
Not long after entering the market, I entered the clothing store. Only then did I see that there were couples of men and women everywhere.
Because it's hot, most buildings here like to open large windows. The so-called anti-sand curtains are a kind of exquisite white curtains with various patterns and pendants.
Many storefronts along the way have already been put up.
The large windows facing the street are hung with various kinds of gauze curtains. Because they are of the same color, they look very imposing from a distance, but they all look different when you look closely.
Because of the curtain, even though the window is wide open, not even a grain of sand can get in.
The wind can come in, the fragrance can come in, but sand and everything that people don’t like cannot.
It has to be said that talismans and formations affect every aspect of people's lives, and different regions have their own unique features.
In this atmosphere, Wei Wenxin couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed traveling with a male cultivator.
Fortunately, Xiao Mingyuan’s barbecue restaurant was not far away and they arrived there quickly.
As soon as I entered the door, a staff member came up to me and took the anti-sand curtain down. He quickly hung it up in the store together with other staff members.
The curtains were hung and the store could finally be closed.
Large-scale formations consume a lot of energy and are far less practical and beautiful than sand-proof curtains.
The fresh, hot wind finally came in, and the slight stuffiness in the store finally dissipated. The customers seemed to be much more relaxed, and many of them even went to the window, cupped their faces, and looked out with a dreamy look on their faces.
There are so many beautiful sights in the world of immortal cultivation. Even though Wei Wenxin has been to many places and seen a lot, when he saw this scene that was full of life and extremely beautiful, he couldn't help but take out a piece of jade and took a picture with a calm face.
It was dinner time and the lobby was bustling with people, but the man who used to smile like the sun when accompanied by his lovely wife now had a calm expression. He took Wei Wenxin upstairs to a private room.
To Wei Wen's surprise, the other party seemed unwilling to delay for a moment and threw something over almost the moment the anti-peeping array was raised.
"This is a thank-you gift my wife prepared for you. When my family was young, we faced a disaster. She once told me that if you come to see me one day, she would let me give this to you."
When they met for the first time, his wife inexplicably asked a stranger to name the child, which made Xiao Mingyuan unhappy.
Later I learned that in order to avert her daughter's death, her wife had paid a huge price and asked someone to calculate this glimmer of hope.
He loved his children and respected his wife's opinion. No matter how precious the item was, he had no intention of embezzling it.
She didn't expect that he came to her in such a hurry to repay her for saving her life. Wei Wenxin caught the thing and threw it back without even looking at it:
"Your child was with a child from our sect at the time. That child was the descendant of an old friend of mine. She was wearing the self-defense jade pendant I gave her, so I went after her. Saving your daughter was just a side job."
It’s so funny that immortal cultivators talk about death!
If you are unlucky, you might even be killed by a furnace explosion while refining elixirs at home!
Of course she would not accept such an expensive thank-you gift just for this.
It’s my child’s grandfather’s birthday during the National Day, so I plan to go back to Henan.
I taught the children how to pack a suitcase, and they were quite interested.
I usually prepare the following items when I go out:
1: Clothes should be matched according to the number of days and stored in sets. Socks storage bags, underwear storage bags. Shoes as needed.
2: Commonly used medicines, fever (acetaminophen, or ibuprofen), cough medicine (Anning Granules, Feining Granules, Xiaoer Kechuan Ning, etc.), cold medicine (acetaminophen), anti-inflammatory drugs (azithromycin, cefaclor), diarrhea (montmorillonite powder, rehydration salts), disinfectant, cotton swabs, band-aids.
3: Certificate.
4: Computer, mobile phone, charger, power bank.
5: Bring an appropriate amount of cash and prepare red envelopes in advance if necessary.
6: Commonly used skin care products, one sealed bag.
7: Toothbrush, toothpaste and face towel, one bag per person.
8: Small things that increase happiness: glasses, sunglasses, nail clippers, mouthwash, water bottle, books, toys for children to pass the time, etc.
9: Food and drinks along the way.
10: Baby bottles, milk powder, baby bottle cleaner, baby bottle cleaning brush.
