Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Chapter 78 - Baili Jingwei
” Sister Yu, can you get a kitchen to serve two black fish to this noble old man? ” Qing Shui smiled as he looked at Yu He.
Yu He nodded his head, and went to make arrangements.
Qing Shui walked over to the old man's desk, when he asked, ” May I know the reason why you are looking for me? ” Qing Shui directed the question to the old man, as he sat down next to the young man.
” Oh, nothing important, I just felt that/that we were destined to meet. Anyway, the first time I focused on my little sister, I could feel that/that we shared a special kind of connection! ” The old man exclaimed happily, his voice exuding extreme kindness, making others feel very comfortable.
” I dare not accept your praise. You can refer to me as Qing Shui, or little sister. I also felt that/it was the destiny we met here today. ” Qing Shui rubbed the back of his head as he exclaimed.
’’ Qing Shui, nice name. My name is Baili Jingwei, and this is my grandson, Baili Wufeng, and we just came here for the holidays. My surname is Baili, and I have always felt a connection with Hundred Miles City. [1] Recently, I heard that/it's a very famous inn with black fish, and thus wanted to see if I could enjoy the taste. Unfortunately, there was a limit of 10 fish, and all the fish had been sold out. Now I can only wait for tomorrow, how sorry. ’’ Baili Jingwei explained gently.
This old man is really kind. As a Xiantian Cultivator, although the damage to his energy channel and dantian suffered, he could easily use his strength and status to enjoy eating black fish. There was no need for him to follow that stupid rule.
’’ Old Man, by chance, I know the boss here. Don't worry, you will be able to enjoy the fish immediately. ” Qing Shui exclaimed, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, he was a supplier of black fish.
” Oh, if it is so, this is amazing, didn't I say that/it was destined for us to meet here! Incredibly, I can't wait to taste and see if the fish is as good as the rumors. ’’ Baili Jingwei laugh.
” If we are strong enough, we can already enjoy the taste of fish. Grandpa, you shouldn't have said so many good things to her. We should not rely on the help of outsiders! ’’ Baili Wufeng raised a cup of wine, exclaiming in unhappiness.
’’ Wufeng, the reason why I brought you here, is to let you see the scenery and learn how to interact with others. Strength is not the answer to everything. What if you encounter a problem that cannot be solved by force? What are you gonna do? ’’ Baili Jingwei gently scolded her grandson.
Looking at the thoughtful and farsighted Baili Jingwei, Qing Shui was able to sense that/that this old man before was someone who had gone through a lot of experience and understood a lot of things. Seeing the clarity tinged by the sadness in Baili Jingwei's eyes, Qing Shui couldn't help feeling that/that he was staring at some hermit from the past.
” Wufeng, remember this, if you want to establish a foothold for yourself in the world of the nine continents, and to achieve great things, human connection is very important. What can you do with the power of one person? Death is the only outcome. ’
’’I understand, Grandpa!’ ’
Baili Jingwei smiled as she continued, ‘’You often stay at home, only focusing on your cultivation, and looking down on others. There will always be someone stronger than you. How strong do you think you are, among your younger generation. ’
” Baili Wufeng lowered his head as he thought, ” Strength wise, no more than 10 people under the age of 30 in Cang Lang Country are capable of defeating me. ’
Baili Wufeng's sharp gaze stared intently at Qing Shui, as his eyes glazed with suspicion. However, those words came from his grandfather's mouth, and it shouldn't be wrong, but he still found it hard to accept that in a small place like Hundred Miles City, there might be someone who could defeat him. Wufeng found it unbelievable.
Qing Shui was also surprised, he did not expect that/that he would also be dragged into Baili Jingwei's conversation. Just glancing at the madar Baili Wufeng, Qing Shui knew that/it was sooner or later, this young man would chase after him.
” Old Man, stop joking. ” Qing Shui laughed out loud.
Baili Jingwei only smiled, but from the look in her eyes that encompassed wisdom, acceptance, and kindness, Qing Shui felt that/that all of his secrets were being gouged naked in front of the old man.
At this moment, two beautiful waitresses brought black fish which caused a stir in Hundred Miles City. A delicious smell was all about the inn, causing other customers to stare at them with a hint of envy.
” That smell, how appetizing, this old man has gone to many places, but never smelled like this before. ” Baili Jingwei lightly glanced at the black fish as she said.
’’Ayo, Qing Shui, Wufeng, let's eat and chat together!’ ’
Qing Shui stopped after two mouthfuls, as he watched the grandfather and grandson duo fill themselves with delicious fish.
”I'm wrong. Originally, I thought that/it Heavenly Mortal World Inn in Cang Lang Country served the best dishes and wines. However, they simply could not compare to these black fish. Although the aroma is similar, but once you taste it, you can clearly tell the difference! ’’ Baili Jingwei, wordlessly, with mouth full of fish meat.
” Really, I don't think that/it's a trip to this Hundred Miles City would yield such a profit, not only do we manage to feast on such heavenly fish, he said, I know a friend like you too. Qing Shui came, let's toast each other! ’’ Baili Jingwei raised her wine cup.
Qing Shui hurriedly lifted his wine cup.
” Old Man, are you from Cang Lang Country? ” Qing Shui asked randomly.
’’ En, You are right, is there anything you want to know? This old man could still be considered knowledgeable about the things that were going on in the Cang Lang Country. I have said before that/that we are destined to meet here, if the younger brother has any problems that need my help, just ask me. After all, I still have status in the Cang Lang Country. ’’The old man, from observing Qing Shui's expression, knew that/it Qing Shui had some questions in his heart, or even needed to do a difficult task.
” Old man, how is the power of the Yan Clan, in the Yan Capital of the Yan Jiang country? ’
