Chapter 308 The Old Man with the Jade Pendant, Tea Party Invitation
It bared its teeth and claws, digging at the ground with its four paws, as if about to pounce on the table.
Li Wudao reacted quickly, pressing down on its shell:
"What do you mean 'your'? It's mine now."
The green-haired turtle struggled frantically, its beady eyes bloodshot, and it cursed, "You fucking used my stuff to make a wedding dress for someone else?!"
"You little brat, do you have any conscience at all?!"
It was so angry it was trembling, and unusually, it broke down.
The next moment, it bit down on Li Wudao's wrist!
"Holy crap, you really bit me?!"
Li Wudao quickly withdrew his hand.
The green-haired turtle seized the opportunity to dart out, but he grabbed its hind leg and dragged it back.
"Let go!"
"Don't loosen it!"
"Are you a dog?!"
.......
"Thorn-"
Suddenly, a large piece of Li Wudao's sleeve was torn off.
"boom--"
The green-haired turtle was kicked away, rolled twice on the ground, and then pounced on it again, baring its teeth and claws.
"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not done with you!"
The man and the turtle started fighting again.
Lin Yan stood to the side, completely bewildered.
What... what's going on?
"boom!"
Another muffled sound.
Li Wudao took two steps back, looked down at his torn sleeve and the scattered pieces of cloth on the ground, and his face turned black.
That damn turtle, it really bites hard!
Not far away, the green-haired turtle lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, its beady green eyes filled with stubbornness.
"Huff...huff...I'll fight you to the death..."
It scrambled to its feet and tried to rush upwards again.
"If you cause any more trouble, I'll expose your theft of medicine, and you can forget about getting the Taiyin Lotus."
The green-haired turtle froze on the spot.
It stared at Li Wudao, its eyes filled with anger, humiliation, and resentment.
Finally, it all turned into a deep sense of frustration, "...You win."
It gritted its teeth and squeezed out three words, then walked out of the room and sulked alone in the yard.
"Brother Li, is it... alright?"
Lin Yan couldn't help but ask a question.
"Ignore it, it's acting strange."
Li Wudao dusted himself off, straightened his tattered sleeves, and walked back to the table as if nothing had happened.
He pointed to the things on the table: "Keep these and cultivate diligently."
Lin Yan opened his mouth: "Brother Li, this is too precious, I can't..."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Li Wudao interrupted him, waving his hand, "Take it if it's given to you."
After several refusals, Lin Yan accepted it with a wry smile and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute:
"Brother Li, I am deeply grateful. I will do anything for you in the future!"
Li Wudao smiled and patted his shoulder: "Take good care of your injuries and cultivate diligently. The road ahead is long."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your investment has been successful. Investment project:.......]
【...】
Upon hearing the system notification, a slight smile appeared on Li Wudao's lips.
Having achieved his goal, he no longer needed to stay.
After chatting for a few minutes, he said goodbye and left. He went into the yard and kicked the green-haired turtle, who was still sulking.
"gone."
The green-haired turtle turned its face away, snorted coldly, and reluctantly walked out.
He kept muttering to himself as he walked:
"Robber...bandit...skinny Zhou..."
Lin Yan stood at the door, watching the man and the tortoise disappear into the distance, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him.
He went back into the room, looked at the treasures on the table, and his eyes reddened slightly.
Just then.
"This kid... is no ordinary person."
An aged voice suddenly rang in his mind.
Lin Yan was startled and quickly composed himself: "Master?"
next moment.
A phantom figure slowly emerged from the jade pendant on his chest.
It was an old man with white hair and beard, a gaunt face, and deep, unfathomable eyes, surrounded by a faint aura of spiritual light.
The phantom floated in mid-air, a glint of unfathomable light flashing in its eyes.
"Master, are you talking about Brother Li?" Lin Yan asked.
The old man nodded slightly: "This young man's temperament, demeanor, and shrewdness are all of the highest caliber. What's even more remarkable is that he treats people with sincerity, yet he keeps his sharp edge hidden."
He paused, his gaze falling on the pile of treasures, his tone slightly somber:
"These resources, added together, are worth at least 30,000 low-grade spirit stones. It seems... you hold a very important place in his heart."
Thirty thousand?!
Lin Yan gasped.
He knew these things were valuable, but he never expected...
Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones!
Given his current situation, even if he worked himself to the bone for five years, he might not be able to save enough.
The old man looked at Lin Yan, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes:
"It is your good fortune to have such a person treat you sincerely."
"If there is an opportunity in the future, we should be friends with each other for life."
Lin Yan nodded solemnly.
He looked out the door, but the figures of the man and the tortoise had already disappeared.
But that warmth lingered in my heart for a long time.
.......
Jade Sword Peak.
The living area for inner disciples was completely different from that of outer disciples.
Nestled on the mountainside, a serene courtyard is hidden among bamboo groves.
Several bamboo stalks grow in the courtyard, their leaves swaying gently in the wind.
A clear spring flows down from between the rocks, forming a small pond where several koi carp swim.
This was the residence assigned to Li Nanzhi.
Although it was only a temporary stay, it was clear that Jade Sword Peak valued her highly.
Li Nanzhi was meditating in the courtyard, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.
Is Miss Li here?
Li Nanzhi opened her eyes, got up and walked to the courtyard gate.
A servant stood outside the door, with a fair complexion, dressed in the clothes of a menial disciple, holding a jade slip in his hand.
"You are……?"
Li Nanzhi was puzzled.
The servant smiled and bowed, "I am a servant of the Imperial Household Department. I have come on His Highness's orders to deliver an invitation to Miss Li."
Did your cousin send you?
Li Nanzhi's eyes lit up.
"Tomorrow is the annual Xuantian Tea Ceremony..."
The servant handed over the jade slip with both hands:
"His Highness said that this tea party is a grand event of the sect, and outstanding disciples from all peaks will participate. It will be of great benefit to Miss Li in getting to know the sect and making friends with fellow disciples."
Li Nanzhi took the jade slip, her face full of anticipation: "Sounds very interesting... When does it begin?"
"9:00 AM to 11:00 AM".
The servant replied.
Li Nanzhi nodded and casually asked, "Will Cousin Wudao also be going?"
The servant stiffened slightly, then smiled and said, "Of course. His Highness the Holy Son will also be attending."
Li Nanzhi didn't think much of it.
She held the jade slip, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for making the trip."
"Don't dare."
The servant bowed quickly and said, "I'll take my leave."
He turned and walked away quickly, letting out a sigh of relief.
in the courtyard.
Holding the jade slip, Li Nanzhi hummed an unknown tune as she skipped back into the house.
The sunlight shone on her face, making her bright smile even more radiant.
She carefully put the jade slip away and began rummaging through her belongings to find the clothes she would wear the next day.
"This one is too plain...this one is too bright..."
"Oh dear, which one should I wear tomorrow?"
She held the clothes, tilted her head, and her eyes were full of girlish joy and anticipation.
