After everyone finished their meal, Qi Jing Chun said he wanted to take Chen Ping An for a walk.
“Little Junior Brother, do you want to take a walk with me?”
Chen Ping An nodded.
Chen Ping An followed behind Qi Jing Chun, one tall and one short standing side by side!
Looking at Qi Jing Chun leaving, Chen Sui Nian said to Lu Chen, “Just right, let’s go find that Qing Tong Tian Jun and get back Grandma Ma Ku Xuan’s soul!”
Lu Chen nodded!
Ruan Xiu had nothing to do, so she could only go home first. Chen Sui Nian saw her thoughts, she didn’t want to go home to forge iron!
So Chen Sui Nian smiled and said, “Miss Xiu Xiu, if you’re bored, you can follow us around and take a walk!”
Ruan Xiu beamed with joy!
Wang Zhu said she wouldn’t go, she would stay home to watch the house.
They came to Yang’s shop and explained their intentions to Old Man Yang. Old Man Yang said he had already made arrangements for Ma Ku Xuan’s grandmother! She is now the River Mother of a river.
Chen Sui Nian understood, so he handed Old Man Yang a small jar of wine, saying, “Thanks, this is a little bit of homemade wine, a little token of our appreciation.”
Old Man Yang smiled and directly took out a cup to take a sip.
“Hmm? Not bad… unique flavor! You’ve infused the wine with springtime and peach blossoms! One sip and it’s spring!”
Old Man Yang exclaimed, “This wine is interesting!”
Chen Sui Nian smiled, “These are the pastries I made, they go best with light sake!”
Old Man Yang took the pastry Chen Sui Nian handed him, took a small bite, and then took another sip of wine. Old Man Yang’s eyes lit up, not bad!
“Hahaha! Delicious, you know how to enjoy yourself, kid!”
Chen Sui Nian smiled, “Thank you for taking care of Ping An when he was young!”
Old Man Yang shook his head, “It’s nothing!”
At this time, Li Er, the apprentice at the pharmacy, was carrying medicine. Seeing Chen Sui Nian and his master, he greeted them.
Chen Sui Nian saw Li Er, sweating profusely, and threw a jar of wine towards him!
Li Er caught the wine in mid-air, confused, “This is?”
Chen Sui Nian smiled, “Wine, and pastries. A small token of appreciation!”
Li Er saw his master enjoying it immensely, so he opened the wine jar and guzzled it down!
One mouthful, the sweet aroma of the wine for Li Er, who was sweating, was simply one word, “Refreshing!”
Chen Sui Nian smiled, “Thank you for the fish you gave Ping An! And thank you Qing Jun for helping Chen Ping An!”
“Although the opportunity slipped away, the goodwill and gratitude remain! Qing Jun didn’t give much, but it was the best! Sui Nian is here, thanking the two of you on behalf of Ping An!”
Qing Jun smiled and said nothing. Li Er tasted the pastry and hesitated to speak. Chen Sui Nian saw that Li Er had something to say, so he asked, “Brother Li, is something the matter?”
Li Er was a little embarrassed, rubbing his head, “Can you give me some more pastries? My two kids might like them! My wife also wants to try them! I can pay for them?”
Chen Sui Nian smiled, “Ah? Pay? How vulgar! It’s just a few pastries, not worth half the opportunity and kindness you gave Ping An!”
Chen Sui Nian gave Li Er nearly a pound and a half of pastries, and also gave Li Er Lu Chen and Ruan Xiu’s pastries!
Ruan Xiu reluctantly gave the pastries to Chen Sui Nian, Lu Chen was heartbroken!
“This Daoist! My heart aches today! Lost my apprentice, and now my beloved pastries too!”
Chen Sui Nian, laughing, handed the pastries to Li Er, Li Er hesitated, wondering if this was a bit too much?
Qing Tong Tian Jun told Li Er, “If you want it, take it. Don’t be embarrassed, acting all shy and reserved!”
Li Er clasped his fist and said, “Thank you!”
Chen Sui Nian and Old Man Yang drank together, “Qing Jun, shouldn’t all of you deities be exiled to Tian Wai Tian? How are you still in a small cave dwelling in Hao Ran Tian Xia?”
Old Man Yang took a small sip of wine, looked at the people behind Chen Sui Nian, and said slowly, “Ru Sheng and Li Sheng agreed!”
Chen Sui Nian was somewhat surprised, “So that’s how it is.”
Chen Sui Nian suddenly asked, “Then, as Qing Jun, you must have seen the Heavenly Court’s sovereign?”
Old Man Yang’s eyes were sharp, he said, “Why are you asking this?”
Chen Sui Nian said, “Just pure curiosity. And isn’t that person curious?”
Old Man Yang looked at Lu Chen, Ning Yao, Li Er and the others who were pretending to be indifferent but were eavesdropping!
Chen Sui Nian smiled, “Qing Jun, if you don’t want to say, then don’t.”
Old Man Yang shook his head, “It’s all from tens of thousands of years ago, Heavenly Court is a thing of the past! There’s nothing to not say!”
“The Heavenly Court’s sovereign, I’ve seen him. He personally received me when I ascended to godhood!”
Chen Sui Nian smiled, “Oh? Qing Jun, you’re amazing, he actually came to greet you personally!”
Old Man Yang said, “Ah! The first human to ascend to godhood, it was a rare occurrence!”
Chen Sui Nian asked, “Did the Heavenly Court’s sovereign look handsome?”
Old Man Yang was taken aback, he looked at Chen Sui Nian’s curious eyes and smiled helplessly!
“Not bad.”
“How does he compare to me?”
“He’s handsome.”
“I don’t believe you!”
Chen Sui Nian asked, “Then what do you think is different between the Sixteenth Realm and us?”
Old Man Yang said, “I don’t know! I didn’t feel anything at the time, and I can’t quite remember! I only felt that the Heavenly Court’s sovereign gave off an air of authority and warmth!”
Chen Sui Nian took a large gulp of wine, then laughed, “Logically speaking, one Fifteenth Realm can defeat and kill one hundred Fourteenth Realms. So how could three Fifteenth Realms kill a Sixteenth Realm? Heavenly Court also had many Fourteenth Realms, and Thirteenth Realms were as numerous as the stars! How could it be wiped out in the blink of an eye? Suspicious, suspicious!”
Old Man Yang also took a large gulp of wine, “Who knows? Maybe that Sixteenth Realm simply found the world boring and just died watching?” Of course, Old Man Yang knew the truth, and in the end, that sovereign even found him...
Chen Sui Nian laughed, “Maybe! But it’s just a change of world after all.”
At this time, a light rain began to fall from the sky, gradually turning heavier!
Qi Jing Chun and Chen Ping An slowly walked to Yang’s shop with an umbrella. Old Man Yang looked at Chen Ping An’s clothes and demeanor.
“Yo? Your brother bought you new clothes?”
Chen Ping An wanted to shake his head, but Lu Chen telepathically told him to nod.
Chen Ping An nodded. Old Man Yang said, “Good, you finally made it! These clothes and attire really suit you!”
“Good, you’re good! But do you think that’s what I like most about you?”
Chen Ping An shook his head.
Old Man Yang said, “Tough as nails!”
Chen Ping An smiled.
Ning Yao looked at Old Man Yang from the side. It was hard to imagine the topics Chen Sui Nian had just discussed with him!
Qing Tong Tian Jun and the Heavenly Court’s sovereign!
Fifteenth Realm and Sixteenth Realm!
Ascension and Heavenly Court’s demise!
In the end, Old Man Yang looked at Chen Ping An carefully and intently.
Finally, Old Man Yang’s gaze turned to Chen Sui Nian, and he muttered to himself, “This is good too! After all, Chen Ping An is good too, choose and choose, why not let Heaven choose!”
Chen Sui Nian’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, choose what?
Qing Tong Tian Jun smiled, “Chen Ping An, you’re very good. I watched you grow up, your fate is not good, you’ve endured hardships from a young age, a hard fate! But you’re tough as nails, and you have a good heart. Now you’ve turned your fate around, you’ve met your brother!”
“Grandpa Yang, you’re exaggerating, if it weren’t for your breathing technique, I wouldn’t have lived to this day!”
“It’s just a simple breathing technique.”
“Thank you!”
Old Man Yang grinned. After that, he dismissed everyone and went back to his backyard to rest!
After that, Chen Sui Nian went home first, and Qi Jing Chun asked Chen Ping An to go for a walk to the town bridge.
Qi Jing Chun smiled and said, “There’s a gift I left for Little Junior Brother!”
