Chapter 1427: The Plaster
The elder of the Ye family paused after hearing what Lai Piqiu said, and asked with a serious expression, "I have never heard that Fairy Ling Chen has a Taoist partner before?"
Lai Piqiu quickly shook his head and said, "This person is not Fairy Ling Chen's Taoist partner yet. Although they are not Taoist partners, the two of them are flirting with each other, and they are both spiritual plant masters, so they have common topics. You insist on breaking them up and letting her marry an old man. This is a bit..."
Before Lai Piqiu could finish, the elder of the Ye family said directly: "Daoyou Lai Piqiu, you have lived for tens of thousands of years. Are you still not open-minded about this? We cultivators cultivate the great way of immortality, not love. Moreover, the two of them are not Taoist couples, so it cannot be said that they are forcibly separated, right?"
After hearing this, Lai Piqiu wanted to refute, but he really couldn't find any reason to refute.
He then asked again, "Recently, my good friend has been coming to ask to see Fairy Ling Chen, but Fairy Ling Chen never saw him. He also sent messages to Fairy Ling Chen, but Fairy Ling Chen never replied. What's going on?"
The eldest elder of the Ye family also looked puzzled and said, "I don't know about this either. Fairy Lingchen is now free and can come and go freely in our Ye family. Moreover, our Ye family will not stop her from meeting anyone she wants to meet. As for the fact that Fairy Lingchen did not respond to the message he sent to her, it is not something our Ye family can control. The only explanation is that Fairy Lingchen probably doesn't want to see him either."
"Don't want to see him?"
At this time, the eldest elder of the Ye family seemed to have thought of something, and slapped his thigh and said, "I remember who you are talking about. Are you talking about the sixth-level spiritual plant master who rented two acres of spiritual farmland from my Ye family last time? His name is...what was it? It's Zhang Xuan, right?"
"Yes, my good friend is Zhang Xuan."
"I know a little about the two of them. They don't seem to be in close contact, right? Zhang Xuan might occasionally come to ask Fairy Ling Chen for advice on some spiritual plant techniques. As for what you said about flirting with her and secretly falling in love with her, I think that's pure nonsense."
"And I've also heard from our Ye family's servants that your good friend is like a sticky plaster, trying to stick to Fairy Ling Chen, blocking the door of our Ye family back and forth, but Fairy Ling Chen always avoids him like the plague. I find it hard to imagine that he is a Void Refining cultivator. He is too thick-skinned."
When Lai Piqiu heard the Ye family's eldest elder talking about his good friend in this way, he paused and didn't know what to say.
After all, the fact that his good friend had become a "stubborn plaster" in the eyes of the Ye family's eldest elder was also due to his own contribution.
It was he who encouraged Zhang Xuan to charge forward boldly.
I didn't expect that the impression I left on Fairy Lingchen and the Ye family would become a plaster. This is not what I wanted to see.
"Are these two really so unlucky?" Lai Piqiu looked regretful.
The eldest elder of the Ye family laughed and said, "What do you mean by fate? It's just his wishful thinking. Elder Tianyuan and Fairy Lingchen have been destined to be together for a long time. Even if Elder Tianyuan didn't exist, Fairy Lingchen probably wouldn't look down on him given his appearance."
When Lai Piqiu heard the other party insulting Zhang Xuan so badly, he wanted to defend his friend, but he didn't know how to say it.
It seems that his plan to have two sixth-level spiritual plant masters grow spiritual herbs to supply him with for alchemy has failed.
Afterwards, he exchanged a few words with the Ye family's great elder and left the Ye family's stronghold in Broken Sky City.
After returning to the Alchemy Pavilion, he explained the current situation of Fairy Ling Chen to Zhang Xuan who was waiting there.
"The Ye family does not have complete control over Fairy Ling Chen now. She can enter and leave the Ye family freely, and can even transmit information through voice transmission." Lai Piqiu said truthfully.
"How is that possible? If the Ye family wasn't causing trouble, then why didn't Fairy Ling Chen reply to my message and why didn't she want to see me at the Ye family?"
Lai Piqiu looked embarrassed.
After all, it was he who asked Zhang Xuan to seize the opportunity and rush forward. How should he persuade him now and let his old friend give up Fairy Ling Chen?
He said tactfully: "Friend Zhang, you are passionate, which is good, but we also have to consider the actual situation, right?"
Zhang Xuan felt confused after hearing what Lai Piqiu said, and said, "What do you mean, Daoist Lai Piqiu? You can just tell me directly. There is no need for us to be too cautious with each other as friends."
Lai Piqiu glanced at Zhang Xuan, wanting to persuade him to give up, but it was not easy to say it clearly.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you know who the late-stage Void Refining cultivator is who wants to take Fairy Ling Chen as his concubine?"
"I don't know who it is exactly." Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"That cultivator in the late stage of Refining Void is none other than the Tianyuan Elder Immortal of Shattered Sky City. All the Immortal Brewing in Shattered Sky City is made by him."
"The Immortal Brew is made by him?"
During the years that Zhang Xuan spent in Broken Sky City, he purchased this Immortal Wine several times.
It has to be said that this Immortal Wine not only tastes good, but also provides great benefits for the cultivation of the Void Refining Monks. I didn't expect it to come from this old man.
“If all the Immortal Brew in Broken Sky City is produced by him, then he must earn a lot of top-grade spirit stones every year.”
"Of course he has quite a bit, and he has been working in Broken Sky City for tens of thousands of years. He is also a veteran cultivator. Can you imagine how much wealth he has accumulated?"
"If it is the Immortal Brew that has been sold for tens of thousands of years, then the accumulated wealth is indeed not small. But then again, what does this have to do with Fairy Lingchen? What does this have to do with the topic we are discussing today?"
Lai Piqiu was speechless after hearing these two questions from Zhang Xuan.
Usually, Fellow Daoist Zhang is a meticulous and extremely intelligent person. He has already hinted to the other party that Fairy Ling Chen is burdened with huge debts, and marrying this Tianyuan Elder is her best choice.
But why can’t Fellow Daoist Zhang understand?
When it comes to love affairs between men and women, for some reason, Fellow Daoist Zhang suddenly becomes extremely dull, as if he doesn't even take the wealthy Tianyuan Immortal seriously.
"Friend Zhang, this is the case. I understand that you are sincere to Fairy Ling Chen, but we should also consider solving some substantive problems for Fairy Ling Chen, right?"
When Henry Zhang heard Lai Piqiu's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.
He nodded slightly and said, "Oh, I understand. I understand what Daoist Fellow Lai Piqiu meant."
After saying that, Henry Zhang left.
Lai Piqiu looked at Zhang Xuan's departing back. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he never opened his mouth.
There are many injustices in the world of cultivating immortals, and there are too many such things.
Everyone has to make a choice, everyone has to endure humiliation, and everyone has to do things they don’t like.
There are eight out of ten things in this world that are not satisfactory. How can outsiders fully understand the hardships involved?
After all, the guidance of others is an external force and will not have much effect. You can only rely on yourself to digest and accept it.
This is the world of cultivating immortals.
