Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 98 Old Friends

Not far from Xingye Lake is a special waiting area, where people waiting to take the flying boat or pick someone up are waiting.

Mo Qingdi was sitting on a stone bench at this time, with a popular storybook on his knees. For him, these storybooks are really boring. These authors have no depth, but they like to mix some miscellaneous preaching in the stories, often talking about the Taoist sect or the high-quality Taoist priests, making innuendos, which are despicable.

But then again, if you remove those boring preachings, and delete the long introductions and repeated content, you can still barely read it, at least you can use it to kill time.

He reads storybooks, of course, not just to kill time, but mainly to see how others write, take the essence and remove the dross, and try to write one himself - he heard that as long as he can sign a contract with Qingping Bookstore, he can make money by writing storybooks. If he writes well and becomes famous, it is not a dream to buy a house in Zhongbafang, Yujing.

As for Shangbafang, it's better to think about it. You need not only money but also status to get there.

Mo Qingdi looked up at the huge clock in the waiting room and found that the time was almost up, so he put away the book on his knees and walked out.

He was not here to take the flying boat, but to pick someone up.

This class reunion was quite a big deal. Many former classmates who were doing well came one after another, and the one he was going to pick up was an important figure in this class reunion.

The reason why he was asked to come was mainly because the two of them had a good relationship when they were in Wanxiang Dao Palace, and they were easy to talk to. As for the others, the relationship was a little subtle.

At the beginning, they were partners living in the same room, not brothers - he didn't want the word "brother" to become cheap, but compared with other people, it seemed particularly good.

He never expected that this guy was not very prominent in Wanxiang Taoist Palace, but after leaving Wanxiang Taoist Palace, he was like a fish in water. First, he won the favor of the youngest deputy hall master of the Taoist sect, and then climbed up the relationship with Master Pei of Wanshou Chongyang Palace. You should know that the deputy hall master Zhang is behind the Great Master Mansion, and Master Pei's brother is Master Donghua who is in charge of Ziwei Hall. With this relationship, it is natural for him to rise to prominence.

It is said that he is now a fifth-grade Taoist priest, enjoying the treatment of a substitute priest, and is only one step away from being a high-grade Taoist priest. Even if he is suddenly promoted to a fourth-grade priest one day, Mo Qingdi will not be surprised at all. As for the position, it is even more extraordinary. The chief is a very broad position. The person who presides over a Taoist temple is the chief Taoist priest, and the deputy who serves as the deputy hall master is also the chief Taoist priest. It is said that he is now the chief Taoist priest of Ziwei Hall, which is the head of the nine halls, in charge of assessment and promotion, and has a bright future.

No one had ever thought that Lao Qi, who had offended Yue Liuli and Wan Xiuwu, would end up going the furthest.

It is said that people who compare themselves to others deserve to die, and goods who compare themselves to goods deserve to be thrown away. His career is smooth and his love life is flourishing, but he is still here thinking about how to write a storybook.

Thinking of this, Mo Qingdi couldn't help but sigh deeply.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in Mo Qingdi's ears: "Lao Mo, why are you sighing for no reason? Are you feeling sorry for the world? Or are you blaming the world?"

The speaker was a woman named Shi Yu, dressed like a seventh-rank Taoist priest. She was also a graduate of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace in the Bingzi year, and was one of the few women who had a good relationship with Mo Qingdi and his friends.

Mo Qingdi did not answer this question. He thought there was nothing to say.

"Hasn't our leader Qi arrived yet?" Shi Yu said, "Over the past few years, I have been thinking about a question. Is it because I am too weird that I seem to be out of tune with others? Look at Yue Liuli, she never pays attention to you guys, and I am the only one who hangs out with you all day long."

"What about now?" Mo Qingdi asked casually.

Shi Yu laughed and said, "It's different now. I found that it's not that I am too weird, but that others are blind. Look at Deputy Hall Master Zhang, the darling of heaven, she has such a high vision, but she still fell in love with Old Qi? From this point of view, Deputy Hall Master Zhang and I are of the same kind of people, and I am far better than Yue Liuli."

"Speaking of Yue Liuli, she was the leader of the Dragon Society back then. What did she say?" Mo Qingdi asked.

Shi Yu restrained her smile upon hearing this, and said with a bit of joking: "What else can I say? The leader of the Dragon Society is already a thing of the past, and even the leader of the Tiger Society is dead. After officially entering the Taoist sect, what matters is the position and grade. Both of them are fifth-grade Taoist priests, and there is no difference in rank. But when it comes to the position, the Ziwei Hall is higher, so she can only wait for you."

Mo Qingdi was about to speak when he suddenly saw two figures and hesitated for a moment: "Look, is that Old Qi?"

Shi Yu looked over and saw a man and a woman walking side by side.

Living changes the spirit, and nourishing changes the body. Qi Xuansu's appearance has not changed much, but the change in his aura is very obvious. Many years of life and death experience have not only made Qi Xuansu lose all his immaturity and immaturity, but also made him more awe-inspiring. Even Zhang Yuelu said that he was full of murderous aura when he first met him, like a sword that was half-sheathed but not completely unsheathed.

Qi Xuansu at this time is completely different from Qi Xuansu who just left the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.

Even Zhang Yuelu found it hard to imagine how panicked Qi Xuansu was when he first faced the "inn" assassin.

Qi Xuansu gradually developed his tenacity today because of the constant tempering between life and death. If Qi Xuansu was still the Qi Xuansu of the past, no matter how much Qi Niang helped him, he would not be able to get up.

Shi Yu was a little hesitant for a while. He looked like him, but he could not match him with the old Qi in his memory.

Just as the two hesitated, Qi Xuansu recognized them first: "Lao Mo, Shitou."

When they were in Wanxiang Taoist Palace, most children did not have formal names, but some people with outstanding performance would be reserved as disciples by high-quality Taoist priests in advance, so they had surnames, such as Qi Xuansu. Some people already had names before entering Wanxiang Taoist Palace, that is, their parents gave them names. As a result, when they were very young, their family changed and their parents died, so they were sent to Wanxiang Taoist Palace, and they would not take the surname of their master, such as Yue Liuli and Wan Xiuwu.

In this case, people born in Wanxiang Taoist Palace usually do not call their courtesy names, but use their surnames as their names.

When the two heard the familiar voice, they were sure that the person in front of them was the old Qi from that year. Then the woman next to him was the legendary Deputy Hall Master Zhang?

The two hurried forward and subconsciously wanted to help take over the luggage, but found that Qi and Zhang were empty-handed. Suddenly, Mo Qingdi sighed: "Old Qi, even Xumi has it? It's unusual, it's really different."

Qi Xuansu smiled slightly, pointed at the two and said: "Qingxiao, they are both my good friends in Wanxiang Taoist Palace. His name is Mo Qingdi, Mo of the future, Qing of the clear water, and Di of the family. Her name is Shiyu, Shi of the stone, Yu of the rain."

Zhang Yuelu said generously: "Hello, my name is Zhang Yuelu, you can also call me by my courtesy name 'Qingxiao' like Tianyuan."

"The name of Deputy Hall Master Zhang is well-known." Mo Qingdi was a little restrained in front of Zhang Yuelu. Although Zhang Yuelu asked him to call him by his courtesy name, he didn't take it seriously and still used the honorific title of "Deputy Hall Master Zhang".

Shi Yu glanced at Mo Qingdi for the first time, not hiding her contempt, looking at you like a useless person, and then smiled sweetly: "Sister Qingxiao."

Zhang Yuelu said dumbly: "If you are the same age as Tianyuan, then you should be older."

Mo Qingdi immediately returned Shi Yu with a contemptuous look - you are not much better.

Shi Yu just pretended not to see it, and said shamelessly: "There is no age in learning, and the one who is accomplished is the first."

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu helplessly.

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "It's up to you, you can call me whatever you want, but you are not allowed to give me a nickname."

Mo Qingdi breathed a sigh of relief.

The four of them left this place together and walked out.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Is everyone here?"

"Everyone who can come is here, and they are all waiting at Taiping Inn." Mo Qingdi said so.
