Astral Apostle

He said a lot of good words, full of flattery. Then, he turned around and shouted at Liu Ping.

"Ping'er, why aren't you kneeling down and apologizing to the Daoist?

With a plop, Liu Ping knelt down without hesitation, as if he was worshiping a god in a Daoist temple.

"I didn't know that an immortal was standing in front of me at that time. I was blind. I really know my mistake. Please spare me, Perfected One. In the future, if you have any instructions, I'll do anything!"

Zhou Jing sat in his seat and received the bow before raising his hand slightly,

"It's just a small matter. There's no need to mention it again. I've long stopped taking it to heart."

The two of them were on tenterhooks, their palms covered in sweat. Hearing this, they heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that they had finally passed this round.

After being rejected twice, they were finally allowed to meet today. The elders of the family had even spoken out to them, saying that they had caused trouble and ruined their opportunity to befriend the expert. If they could not obtain Perfected Master Windwalker's understanding today, they would be punished.

Liu Ping and his son were so emotional that they flattered him again. Seeing Zhou Jing raise the teacup and take a sip, they immediately bade farewell and left a few boxes of treasures.

The servants of the Ye family immediately came in and moved the assets to Zhou Jing's courtyard. They were familiar with the situation and had done this job countless times.

Zhou Jing picked up the gift list as he curled his lips,

"This Liu family is really generous. It seems like they're very sincere."

Actually, he did not have much of an opinion of Liu Ping. He only used the excuse of making a fuss to teach him a lesson. Seeing that the Liu family had come sincerely, he let the other party off. After all, it was just a small disagreement, and he did not intend to be too ruthless.

In the past few days, there had been too many people giving gifts. No one from the various families of Ning Tian Prefecture had come empty-handed. He had already saved up more than a hundred bags of wealth, and the courtyard he lived in was about to be filled up. The Ye family hurriedly vacated a new courtyard to specially serve as Zhou Jing's warehouse.

Among these gifts, just counting gold and silver gave him wealth that ordinary people could not earn in ten lifetimes, not to mention jewelry, jade, antiques, and other luxurious items.

There was no place to use money here at the moment, but Zhou Jing did not refuse to accumulate wealth. He would save it all up first. In any case, it was all money from wealthy families. The money was sent to him one by one, and the speed at which he accumulated wealth was like flowing water.

It just so happened that Chen Feng would probably want to create something big in the future. The moment Bill saved enough funds in the future, he would create an opportunity for him to "be robbed"... He would treat it as these wealthy families indirectly funding the "ambitious youth".

Zhou Jing put down the gift list and prepared to see if there was anything else worth paying attention to.

At this moment, Old Master Ye arrived shakily with his walking stick. A servant followed him.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing put down the visiting card and stood up. He smiled and said, "Grandpa, have you been feeling better recently?"

"Thanks to Perfected One, I've finally returned from the gates of hell."

The Old Master chuckled and panted a little, but his complexion was already slightly better than before.

After the evil in his body was expelled, he took the Jade Spring Pill every day to nourish his foundation. With Zhang Jingduan's careful care of his diet and body, he could already walk.

After greeting them, the two of them sat down again.

Old Master Ye immediately spoke out in a grateful tone, "Perfected Master Windwalker, you saved this old man's life. This old man will remember this kindness within the five inner regions. When my body is better, I will thank you."

Zhou Jing nodded and smiled, "Old Grandfather met me when you were only critically ill. It's fate that your life should not have ended there. There's no need to care about formalities."

However, Old Master Ye shook his head in refusal, "Perfected One, you only move according to fate. This carefree bearing is admirable, but I can't feel that it's reasonable. I've already instructed that from now on, everyone in the Ye family has to treat the Perfected One as their elder. They have to work hard for the Perfected One and can't have any complaints. They can't disturb you casually as well... Perfected One, don't worry and stay in my Ye family."

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and roughly understood the other party's thoughts. He reassured the other party with a smile,

"The Ye family has handled many trivial things for me. I'm quite comfortable living here. Since I'm here, I'll see things through to the end. If you don't mind, I still need to stay here for a while."

"That's good, that's good..."

The Old Master beamed.

Recently, Zhou Jing's name had spread throughout Ning Tian. Countless wealthy families wanted to invite Zhou Jing to stay in their homes, and the Ye Family naturally did not want Zhou Jing to leave.

Zhou Jing did not intend to move away. The facilities here were complete, and the Ye family had also been trained to be hardcore supporters. If he wanted to move, he would have to redo the process of "buying new supporters". Why would he do so when there was already a ready-made one here?

The two of them chatted for a while more before Great-Grandfather Ye bade farewell. He returned to his room to continue recuperating and did not disturb Zhou Jing anymore.

At this moment, the butler who had been waiting outside walked in and reported,

"Perfected One, there are two Daoists outside. They claim to have something to discuss and want to meet you."

Zhou Jing blinked and asked, "Have you verified the authenticity? Don't be another idler who came to our house to make up nonsense. What do you mean whose hen hatched three chicks with one egg? Which family's bird can speak human language..."

The manager shook his head and said, "These two Daoists have the proper bearings. They don't seem to be faking it."

"Then let's meet."

Zhou Jing became curious.

It was unknown why two actual Daoists had come knocking.

It couldn't be that they were here to check on his unlicensed operation, right?

"It's a good opportunity to see what characteristics the Daoists in this world have. In the future, I can use them as a reference when I try to act mysterious. Moreover, there are evil beings in this world, so there should be some Daoists with true abilities. I wonder if I can encounter such people after causing such a huge commotion..."
