Chapter 1213: Fighting for Nourishment Pills Once More
After everyone ate and drank their fill and left, Grandpa Jiang, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang immediately called their son to the living room and asked him about his relations.h.i.+p with the young lady.
Of course, the three of them also saw how popular the young lady was with the other boys tonight, and Father Jiang uncharacteristically said, “Ah Duo, I’m very satisfied with that young lady. If you can woo her, you can have as much pocket money as you want in the future!”
Father Jiang was making an exception for two reasons. Firstly, he did like cultured people, and that young lady earlier fit the bill. Secondly, he knew very well that his son was unreliable. If this kid brought back some coy vixen home one day, Father Jiang would vomit blood. It was better to hurry up and lock down a good person.
Jiang Duo was stupefied by his father’s words. When he realized that his father was telling him to pursue Master Chi, he was terrified and immediately shook his head. “Dad, I can’t. I’m beneath Master Chi’s notice!”
He could still be a lackey, but he didn’t want Master Chi to take him down as if he were a ghost if he tried to hook up with her.
Father Jiang was about to scold this kid for being useless, when he heard him say “Master Chi.”
When Grandpa Jiang and Mother Jiang heard this, they were immediately stupefied.
Jiang Duo was already thinking of showing off, so he hurriedly revealed Master Chi’s ident.i.ty. “Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Master Chi and I really don’t have that kind of relations.h.i.+p. As for you asking me to pursue Master Chi, that’s even more impossible. I’m beneath her notice. At most, I’d just be her underling. By the way, not only is Master Chi a capable expert who can deal with ghosts, she’s also the owner of that miracle medicine shop. So, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, if you really make me pursue Master Chi, I’m afraid she’ll directly take me down like a ghost!
“I’ve thought it through. My goal now is to become Master Chi’s follower.”
Jiang Duo’s words had revealed too much important information. Even Grandpa Jiang was stupefied as his mind went blank, let alone Father and Mother Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang and Father Jiang reacted swiftly, especially when they heard this kid say that the young lady was the owner of the miracle medicine shop. Grandpa Jiang and Father Jiang’s expressions swiftly changed from excitement and shock to stupefaction. The entire process was extremely colorful.
Not to mention Father Jiang, who was so agitated that he wanted to slap this stupid son to death, even Grandpa Jiang wanted to slap the back of his head. How dare Ah Duo hide such an important matter?
Of course, it wasn’t because the Jiang family wanted benefits. They did have selfish motives, but more than that, they were very grateful to the shop owner for saving their lives.
To some extent, the owner of that online shop was really the savior of the Jiang family.
Grandpa Jiang was especially moved.
Moreover, the person who could sell this miracle medicine was definitely no ordinary person. The Jiang family naturally had selfish motives in wanting to befriend the shop owner.
They thought that they would probably never have the chance to come into contact with this mysterious online shop owner in their lives, but they never expected Ah Duo to suddenly bring her home for dinner. Not only did they not know who she was, they even treated her as their grandson’s girlfriend.
Grandpa Jiang, Father Jiang, and Mother Jiang were still stupefied at that moment. They immediately recalled nervously if they had done anything wrong earlier. Thinking of dinner earlier, Grandpa Jiang couldn’t help but wipe his cold sweat, and Father and Mother Jiang even more so.
At that moment, the Jiang family no longer pressed Ah Duo to woo some girl. They just looked at him with indescribable expressions and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Father Jiang’s heart dropped.
On one hand, he felt that this kid wasn’t smart enough. On the other hand, he was very happy that his son knew the owner of the miracle medicine shop, and had invited her over for a meal.
Forget it! Forget it!
Fools were blessed. If his son wasn’t stupid enough, this kid wouldn’t have secretly given his grandfather the Nourishment Pill despite not knowing its effects.
If this kid hadn’t done that, they wouldn’t have known how miraculous that online shop was or about the Nourishment Pill, nor would they have benefited so much from it.
Even as Father Jiang gradually convinced himself, Grandpa Jiang was more open-minded than Father and Mother Jiang. At that moment, he couldn’t bear to blame his grandson, and even praised him for wanting to be Master Chi’s underling, saying that he was “promising” and “ambitious.”
Father and Mother Jiang: …
Jiang Duo: …
Jiang Duo was flattered by his grandfather’s praise. At that moment, he didn’t know how complicated his family’s feelings were. He thought of the bottle of Nourishment Pills which Master Chi had given to him as a token of her appreciation before he sent her off.
Jiang Duo immediately took it out and placed it on the table. He said excitedly, “By the way, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, these are Nourishment Pills from Master Chi. She said it’s a greeting gift for the family and for Grandpa.”
Jiang Duo hadn’t wanted to take the bottle at first, but when he thought of how magical this Nourishment Pill was and how it could be considered miracle medicine, his heart was moved.
Moreover, he clearly remembered how his friends had looked at him with envy and hatred when Master Chi took out the bottle of Nourishment Pills and handed it to him, as if they wanted to skin him alive and tear out his tendons. Only then had he hurriedly accepted the bottle.
He had been afraid that if he were a second slower, someone else would s.n.a.t.c.h it away.
As soon as he took the bottle of Nourishment Pills, he didn’t forget how Ningjin and the others looked like they regretted not pulling Master Chi to their homes as guests. Jiang Duo was overjoyed, especially when he received this bottle of Nourishment Pills from Master Chi herself.
Grandpa Jiang, Father Jiang, and Mother Jiang had yet to recover from the shock of finding out that Ah Duo hadn’t brought a ‘girlfriend’ home, but the owner of that miracle medicine shop, when he dropped another bombsh.e.l.l.
At that moment, they were excited when they saw the bottle of Nourishment Pills on the table.
Even though Jiang Duo had bought a lot of Nourishment Pills for his family before, that didn’t stop the Jiang family from appreciating them. Besides, these Nourishment Pills were really rare and G.o.dly.
The shop owner hadn’t put anything up for sale in the online shop recently, and Grandpa Jiang’s supply of Nourishment Pills had been cut off for several days.
At that moment, it wasn’t just Grandpa Jiang; Father and Mother Jiang were overjoyed, happy and envious when they saw the Nourishment Pills. Grandpa Jiang was quick to grab the bottle of Nourishment Pills first. He coughed softly and said seriously, “Since these Nourishment Pills are from that… shop…”
Before Grandpa Jiang could finish speaking, Jiang Duo hurriedly said, “Grandpa, Master Chi isn’t some shop owner. She’s Master Chi!”
Grandpa Jiang quickly nodded in understanding. “Mm, since Master Chi gave me these Nourishment Pills, I’ll accept them!”
Grandpa Jiang wanted to continue taking the Nourishment Pill in the hopes that his hair would turn completely black and he would become a little younger. When that happened, he would then visit his friends. Thinking of their expressions when they saw him, Grandpa Jiang felt so good.
As for his son and daughter-in-law’s envious expressions, Grandpa Jiang pretended not to see them.
Father and Mother Jiang drooled, but they really didn’t dare s.n.a.t.c.h the bottle from the old man.
Father and Mother Jiang made up their minds to get their son to snap up another bottle of Nourishment Pills online.
Father Jiang suddenly thought of something and asked his son, “Ah Duo, is that girl… is the shop owner really a Celestial Master? By the way, where have you been these last few days?”
Jiang Duo originally wanted to use the Nourishment Pills to hide the fact that he had provoked a ghost. Hearing his father’s question and looking at his stern expression, Jiang Duo didn’t dare hide it anymore. He told his family about how he went to Swan Lake with Xiao Ningjin and the others, and accidentally provoked something they shouldn’t have. w.a.n.g Yu, Shen Zhihua and Fang Yinglong all died.
Fortunately, Master Chi took action, and they were fine. Master Chi also disposed of that ghost thing.
Of course, Jiang Duo was afraid that his parents would scold him. Jiang Duo repeatedly said that it was their bad luck that they had provoked that thing, and they hadn’t done it deliberately.
Afraid that his grandfather and parents wouldn’t believe that there were ghosts in this world, Jiang Duo said with an especially serious expression, “Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Master Chi is really a Celestial Master, and there really are ghosts in this world. If Master Chi wasn’t capable, how could she have refined such a miraculous Nourishment Pill?”
