Chapter 123 Jiang Ping’s Explanation
Xu Shi was frightened by this young man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
When Feng Dan heard Jiang Ping’s voice, her tensed body suddenly went limp, and she collapsed onto the ground.
Feng Qingye narrowed his eyes and carefully stared at the person in front of him. At this time, Jiang Ping was still holding his arm. “He’s also in the nascent soul realm?”
Although he didn’t sense any cultivator’s aura from Jiang Ping’s body, judging from Jiang Ping’s intuition that he could block his punch, this person’s strength was at least on par with
his.
Jiang Ping immediately let go of Xu Shi’s hand with a smile.
“I’m not here to fight with you, I’m here to explain.”
Feng Qingye asked in confusion.
“Explain?”
Jiang Ping nodded and said with a smile.
“Yes, it’s about you guys investigating the spirit stone mine.”
Xu Shi immediately came to a realization. Did he follow them? He had seen him before in the tavern. No wonder he looked familiar.
Jiang Ping smiled and cupped his hands in apology, then said. “Isn’t this to solve the doubts in your hearts?”
“Is it convenient to talk in private?”
Xu Shi looked at Feng Qingye, who nodded.
Jiang Ping extended his hand. “Please.”
Then, the three of them went to the tavern and sat down.
After sitting down, Jiang Ping ordered the waiter to serve the wine and dishes, then said to Feng Qingye and Xu Shi.
“Actually, there is no spirit stone mine in Fusheng City.” Feng Qingye didn’t like to talk. After the food and wine were served, he picked up the wine pot and glass and poured himself a cup.
Xu Shi asked Jiang Ping.
“Then how did you get those three spirit stones?”
Jiang Ping lowered his voice and pretended to be afraid that others would hear him.
“Actually, I saved up those three spirit stones. I spent a lot of effort.”
“You spent a lot of effort to save up those spirit stones, and now you’re giving them away?” Xu Shi asked.
Jiang Ping sighed. “Sigh, it’s also because I’ve just arrived at Fusheng City. As a stranger here, I have to spend some money to bribe. In order to reduce the trouble in the future, I have to be more generous with my money.”
Deep down, Xu Shi didn’t believe what Jiang Ping said. Three high-grade spirit stones and he was giving them away one after another in order to be more stable in Fusheng City?
Did he have a mine at home?
Thus, he stared at Jiang Ping with a puzzled gaze.
Seeing that the two of them weren’t easy to fool, Jiang Ping could only speak again.
“Fusheng City really doesn’t have any spirit stone mines. I can guarantee with my life. If you don’t believe me, you can send people to investigate inch by inch.”
Listening to Jiang Ping’s words, Xu Shi’s heart wavered a little. He wasn’t too sure, to begin with, which was why he came to investigate. With a somewhat disappointed expression, he said to Jiang Ping. “Then it seems like I came here for nothing. However, I will continue to send people to search the area under the jurisdiction of Fusheng City. If I find out that you are lying…”
“Although my cultivation is inferior to yours, Tianyun Sect is not easy to deal with.”
After hearing this, Jiang Ping felt that he had already fooled Xu Shi. Even if the Tianyuan Sect sent people to search Fusheng City thoroughly and found that there was indeed no such thing as a spirit stone mine, it would have nothing to do with him. All he had to do was to make himself clean.
Then, he raised his glass and let the two of them drink.
After drinking a few glasses, Jiang Ping laughed and said, “I still have three daughters to take care of, so I’ll go back first.” Xu Shi and Feng Qingye did not stop him and let Jiang Ping leave.
After Jiang Ping walked out of the tavern, he actually did not go home. Instead, he hid somewhere nearby the tavern and eavesdropped on the conversation between Feng Qingye and Xu Shi.
“What should we do now? It seems that there really isn’t any spirit stone mine in Fusheng City,” Xu Shi said to Feng Qingye.
Feng Qingye sipped his liquor and shook his head.
“I don’t know. Go back and report to the sect master. This time, you might have to suffer.”
Xu Shi was a little depressed, so he suddenly gulped down a glass of wine.
“This is great. I came all this way for nothing, and now I have to be punished when I go back.”
Then, he poured another glass of wine and took another sip.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Ping completely let go of the worries in his heart, and then he turned around to go home for real.
After Jiang Ping left, Xu Shi gave Feng Qingye a look.
Feng Qingye held the glass of wine and said lightly. “He really left this time.”
“Do you doubt the authenticity of what Jiang Ping said?”
Xu Shi shook his head and said.
“I was going to believe him, but when you played along with me, I knew there was something fishy about Jiang Ping.”
“I didn’t expect you to be so smart. I thought your cultivation was higher than mine, and you did not have any outstanding qualities.”
Feng Qingye’s face darkened, and he stared at Xu Shi coldly.
Xu Shi felt a chill down his spine as he laughed.
“It was just a joke. Brother Feng, don’t mind it.”
Feng Qingye then turned his head away from him and poured a glass of wine into his cup.
“Then what do you plan to do?”
Xu Shi said with an evil smile.
“I left some marks on that kid’s body just now. Did you bring a magical artifact that can shield your breath when you go out this time?”
Feng Qingye understood and nodded. He took out a small mirror from his storage space.
After Jiang Ping returned home, he first went to look for the three little girls.
The three little girls had classes in school for the whole day. Other than Yan’er, the other two looked a little absent-minded.
It was as if they had exhausted their energy.
But when they saw Jiang Ping coming over, their small eyes instantly lit up. They dragged Jiang Ping into their room.
Liu’er asked Jiang Ping.
“Daddy, you haven’t played with us for a long time. Does daddy not love us anymore?”
Jiang Ping patted Liu’er’s head and answered.
“How can daddy not love you?”
“Daddy has been quite busy these few days.”
Wan’er crossed her arms in front of her chest and said angrily.
“Hmph, I don’t care. Daddy will play with us tomorrow.”
Yan’er also echoed.
“Yes, yes. If daddy doesn’t accompany us tomorrow, we will ignore daddy.”
Jiang Ping, who was feeling helpless by Yan’er’s words, comforted the three little girls.
“Okay, okay, okay. Daddy will accompany Wan’er, Yan’er, and Liu’er to play tomorrow. Have you thought about where to play?”
The three little girls’ eyes rolled around. They were all thinking, but none of them could answer for a moment.
They only wanted their father to accompany them. They didn’t care what they did.
Lei Jingyun said from the side. “Why don’t we fly kites?” “The young ladies haven’t flown the paper kites since they made them. We can try them out.”
Qiu Chi, who was standing straight on the side, nodded.
“I happen to know an open space near Fusheng City. It’s very big and full of grass. It’s the best place to fly kites.”
The three little girls nodded.
Jiang Ping nodded as well. “Okay, then it’s decided. We’ll fly kites tomorrow.”
The three little girls jumped up and clapped.
At this time, Li Sushang walked over and said.
“Even if you want to fly a kite, you have to eat first.”
Jiang Ping asked, “What time is it? Wan’er and the others haven’t eaten yet?”
Li Sushang shook her head.
“It’s always like this. They say that they want to wait for their father to come back, or else they won’t eat. I’m forced to follow the three stubborn donkeys and wait for you in hunger.”
Jiang Ping reached out his hand and gently patted their little heads one by one. “You’re not allowed to do this in the future. You’re still growing. How can you not eat?”
“Let’s go and eat first.”
The three girls knew that Jiang Ping was not really angry. They made a face at him and ran to the living room.
Jiang Ping was so angry that he slapped his forehead and smiled helplessly.
