Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 743 Shaobai 16

Without saying a word, Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi came back happily, each carrying four rabbits.

Ye Dingzhi saw someone coming from a distance. When Jiang Xinxin turned around and looked over, he realized that the richly dressed young lady was his cheap master. He quickly ran over to greet her: "Good morning, Master. I am so lucky to meet you in this remote place!"

Jiang Xinxin accepted Ye Dingzhi as her apprentice only as a temporary measure, but later she saw that Ye Dingzhi was very attentive to her, so she really accepted this master-apprentice relationship. She was very happy to see Ye Dingzhi at this time, "Then you should be happy."

Baili Dongjun followed closely and recognized Jiang Xinxin, but after listening to Ye Dingzhi's words, he felt that he had been demoted to a lower generation and felt a little uncomfortable. But overall, he was still very happy to meet his friend Jiang Xinxin.

"Yuan Xin, are you out for training again?"

"I heard you did a lot of good things!"

Although Jiang Xinxin knew Baili Dongjun first, she always felt that he was spoiled. It was easy to be a brother to such a person, so there was no need to worry about other things. So she also imitated Baili Dongjun and replied: "I have advanced to the realm of Divine Wandering, so of course I have to go out and walk around, so that people can see the ability of me, the little Taoist priest of Wangcheng Mountain."

"Besides, I've heard a lot of good things about you. It's rare that your fairy sister didn't come along."

When Jiang Xinxin mentioned Yueyao, Baili Dongjun rarely showed shyness: "Yueyao let me out under great pressure, so of course I went with her."

Ye Dingzhi also teased: "Yes, yes, your Miss Yueyao has never appeared in public, but she is actually following you very closely!"

Sikong Changfeng stood up for Baili Dongjun for a moment and said, "Which couple doesn't want to spend the whole day together? Dongjun, it's not uncommon. But Dingzhi, you're free now, don't you want to find someone to spend your life with?"

Ye Dingzhi was not teased and said with a smile: "I am still not in a hurry. When I travel around the world, I will meet someone who shares the same ideals with me."

Jiang Xinxin looked at everyone's relaxed and happy expressions, and felt that she had done nothing wrong. It was just that she was still hungry. "Stop talking, I'm hungry."

Ye Dingzhi and Baili Dongjun hurried to pack up the captured rabbits. Although they noticed that the horses had been led back, they didn't care where Nangong Chunshui had gone. After they packed up the rabbits and roasted them, they saw Nangong Chunshui coming back with wild fruits in one hand and fresh wild vegetables in the other.

Ye Dingzhi put the rabbit he had gotten in his hands, turned around, got a pot from the back of the carriage, fetched some water, and put it directly on the fire, apparently preparing to make some soup.

Nangong Chunshui couldn't help but tease him when he saw this: "Alas, I've only watched Sikong cooking these past few days, but I didn't know that you, Ye, are also a cook. It seems that we are really not worth your effort."

Ye Dingzhi blushed a little after being squeezed by Nangong Chunshui, and quickly explained: "My master is still young, and she is a girl..."

Jiang Xinxin already had some opinions about Nangong Chunshui, and Ye Dingzhi was her apprentice, so of course she had to help him. "I'm his master. Although one of you is considered a senior, you have nothing to do with him. Why should my apprentice be so attentive to you?"

Jiang Xinxin put on a smiling face and continued, "If you had a beautiful daughter, I, your disciple, could serve your future father-in-law for your daughter's sake. But you are a bachelor, and what else do you have except the seniority given by your age?"

Nangong Chunshui was so angry at Jiang Xinxin that he wanted to blow his beard and glare at her. Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng couldn't help laughing secretly. However, Ye Dingzhi continued what Jiang Xinxin had said, "Yes, senior, if you have a beautiful girl, I can not only cook three meals a day for you, but also serve you."

Sikong Changfeng remembered something and couldn't help but take this opportunity to ask Nangong Chunshui: "Senior, you said you have lived for more than a hundred years. In such a long life, have you not met a few confidantes?"

These words directly hit Nangong Chunshui in the heart. He was just about to fight these juniors for three hundred rounds, but in the blink of an eye, he became listless. No one was embarrassed to continue talking about this topic. Even Baili Dongjun, who had a lover, escaped the teasing.

Jiang Xinxin readily asked Ye Dingzhi about the resettlement of the Beique survivors, "You have been to many places, have you found a suitable place?"

Ye Dingzhi replied sternly, "The land outside the domain is indeed vast beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the conditions are not as cruel as Beili or Nanjue imagined. I have personally visited those places and learned that most of the thirty-six sects were built in oases in the desert. The snow-capped mountains outside the domain are not all just rocks and snow that never melts. There are also dense forests at the foot of the mountains. Although the products are not as rich as those in Beili and Nanjue, they are not all barren places with no grass."

Speaking of this, even though it was not the first time he heard it, Nangong Chunshui could not help but admire Jiang Xinxin, a junior. "I am really old. Previously, I just wanted to severely damage Yuefeng City, slightly disperse the forces of Tianwaitian, and make the remnants of Beique lose the ability to restore their country..."

Jiang Xinxin shrugged, but she didn't think what she did was remarkable. "There's nothing wrong with you thinking this way, but you all come from extraordinary backgrounds. Even my disciple has experienced ups and downs, but in the end, he still doesn't see the needs of the grassroots people."

Not to mention Nangong Chunshui, even Sikong Changfeng felt a little ashamed.

When Sikong Changfeng regained his memory, he had lost his past and was seriously injured. He was penniless and taken in by Baili Dongjun who had just run away from home. The two of them were guarding the Donggui Tavern at that time. Although they did not earn any money for a long time and kept spending money, they did not suffer any hardship or hunger.

Even when he became an apprentice of the Medicine King Xin Baicao and learned medical skills that were beyond the reach of ordinary people in just half a year, he never thought of diagnosing and treating ordinary people.

The atmosphere began to become heavy again, and Jiang Xinxin sighed secretly, "I am not blaming anyone by saying this, and I can't be high and mighty and point fingers at everyone just because I have done a little more than everyone else."

"I just can't stand the current trend, which firmly tramples on the common people who are really struggling to stand up, and desperately squeezes their living space, even though they are the ones who contribute the most to this world that others have."

Baili Dongjun couldn't help but muttered quietly: "But as far as I know, there are important officials in the court who come from humble backgrounds..."

It was the first time that Nangong Chunshui felt that Baili Dongjun and his disciples were too "innocent". He quickly reprimanded Jiang Xinxin before he could speak: "The truly poor people don't even have a place to live. The so-called poor children you mentioned are just those whose families have fallen on hard times, but their ancestors were indeed rich and powerful before."

"Even the common people that most people talk about actually have cars, houses and decent jobs. You have also been able to read and write since childhood. Explain what a hooligan is!"

Baili Dongjun was scolded harshly but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

People who have no houses or land are called vagrants, and those who have nothing to do are called rogues.
