"You are..." The Second Elder glanced at the Third Elder quickly, and when he turned back, he squinted his eyes and began to smile, looking very kind, "Your name is... Shiyin? I heard that you were Nanyin's maid before?"

Yuan Ge stood there with his eyebrows lowered, his usual sharp edges put away, and he responded in a low voice imitating the sound of a pick-up, "To reply to the Second Elder, it is indeed so."

At first glance, they had similar faces, but now with their lowered brows and pleasing demeanor, the few similarities were further diluted. The second elder heaved a sigh of relief, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he even found it funny. At that time, he heard the servants say that Feng Qingtan's new medicine boy "looked like the eldest lady", and he was confused for some reason... Obviously, that person was already dead.

Once dead, she is dead. Can Feng Qingtan bring her back to life?

The second elder squinted his eyes and nodded repeatedly, "Very good, very good... Master Feng is very respected among us, and your young master Nanyin is Master Feng's apprentice... You should learn from him! Look, this little girl looks festive, don't you agree, big brother?"

The great elder sat in the first seat, curling the corners of his mouth somewhat listlessly, neither saying yes nor no.

Zhuang Lichuan was bored, but he was always good-tempered and smiled as if nothing mattered. He didn't care. He just untied the jade pendant on his waist and waved to Yuan Ge, "Come on, girl... This is the first time we meet on the first day of the new year, so we have to hope for good luck. Welcome to join our Zhixuan Mountain. I haven't prepared any gifts for you. This jade pendant has been with me for many years. Now I'll give it to you!"

It was a round jade pendant. As far as I could remember, the Second Elder had worn it for many years.

Yuan Ge repeatedly waved his hands to refuse, "This is too valuable. I cannot accept it. It is my blessing to be valued by Elder Feng. How can I accept your gift, Second Elder?"

"It's okay, it's not worth much money." Seeing that she didn't want to take it, Zhuang Lichuan put it on the table beside him. "There is no reason to take back something that has been given away. If you don't want to take it, it will be left here. It's in your medicine garden anyway. Feng Qingtan, this is my gift to the little girl, you can't be greedy!"

"Who are you insulting? What treasure in my yard can't be exchanged for eight or ten of your broken jade pendants? Why do you want to take yours?" Feng Qingtan rolled his eyes, not wanting to bother with him. He turned around and ordered Yuan Ge, "Girl, take it, take it. Take whatever he gives you. You should know that among the three elders on Zhixuan Mountain, this one is the richest. If he comes to you for treatment in the future, you must ask him for money. Charge as much as possible! Do you understand?"

Zhixuan Mountain has had external business in recent years, for example, some machinery, medicinal materials and even weapons refined by themselves are all very popular, and these external contacts are managed by the second elder of Maitreya Buddha. Yuan Ge's grandfather is a martial arts fanatic, and the third elder is a cold-faced thunder god. In the words of Zhuang Lichuan, he is "not able to fart for a long time". If he is asked to negotiate business, I am afraid that the entire Zhixuan Mountain will have nothing to lose.

So it is true that he is the richest man on Zhixuan Mountain.

The young girl, who had just arrived, was naturally reserved when she met the three elders. Yuan Ge smiled awkwardly, not knowing whether to respond or not. Finally, she bent her knees a little awkwardly, took the jade pendant in both hands, expressed her gratitude, then lowered her head and walked to stand behind Feng Qingtan.

The Third Elder said nothing from beginning to end, and never participated in the activity of giving gifts. Only at this moment did he lift his eyelids and glance at Yuan Ge, with a blank expression and a slightly indifferent look, saying casually, "Although there are some similarities, it is only superficial after all. The personalities are not the same at all. When did that monkey become so reserved? I'm afraid he would have come to you with a licking face and asked you for your treasure."

When this topic came up, Zhuang Lichuan suddenly raised his eyes to look at the elder who was sitting on the throne. Seeing that the elder still had that reluctant but undeterred expression, he turned back and sneered at the third elder, "Third brother, it's New Year's Day, why are you bringing up these things for no reason?"

The third elder, Zhan Yanfeng, is one of the few people on the mountain who dislikes Yuan Ge and dares to scold him to his face.

Yuan Ge had offended many people over the years, and the old man always had to give an explanation to others. Every time, he would pick up a stick and pretend to chase her and beat her, but his martial arts skills could not even catch a little girl... The second elder was there to act as a peacemaker and give way, and only Zhan Yanfeng was there to "fan the flames and add fuel to the fire" without any hesitation.

If Yuan Ge had to say who she disliked the most during those years, it would of course be the Third Elder, who always had his hands behind his back and was serious-looking. In Yuan Ge's words, "it was as if everyone owed him money." On the other hand, the Second Elder was different. No matter what mistakes she made, he always favored her unconditionally. He also bowed down to apologize because she offended someone, saying that she was "his own child." So she really thought that she was "his own child" to the Second Elder, and she did many of the things that Zhan Yanfeng described as "licking the second elder's face and asking for treasure."

But now, after a lifetime, I look at these familiar faces through other people's skins, but I always feel that something is not right.

The pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha narrowed his eyes. Was it because of a genuine smile or to hide the brilliance in his eyes? Was the cold-faced Thunder God really fed up with the mischievous younger generation or was he just disappointed with his inferior? She couldn't see through it. Because of the years they had spent together, she didn't dare to doubt him easily, but she couldn't trust him completely either.

She stood behind the teacher with her head bowed, clutching the jade pendant in her hand, and listened to Zhan Yanfeng's indifferent tone, "What's wrong with mentioning it? Oh, you guys can just whisper behind her back and point at the new girl and say she looks like the late young lady, but why can't I just mention it openly? Yuan Ge is Yuan Ge, and this little girl is herself, there's nothing wrong with them being similar."

These words were very straightforward, without any concealment. Zhuang Lichuan kept giving him looks, but Zhan Yanfeng was still the Zhan Yanfeng that Yuan Ge knew - he wouldn't even read his looks.

The cold-faced Thunder God of Zhixuan Mountain is not only serious and sticks to the rules, but also so upright that he is almost inhuman, which is a headache for people.

Although he is the youngest of the three elders, his style of doing things is the most old-fashioned.

The second elder was speechless and rolled his eyes in anger. The first elder then patted the coffee table beside him and said, "Well, it's New Year's Day, and two people who are over a hundred years old in total are still quarreling... They embarrass themselves in front of the younger generations all day long, and they are not ashamed! There is really nothing that cannot be mentioned about my Ge'er. Just say whatever you want to say. Don't worry about me. I'm not an old man who can't stand it. Come, little guy, the second elder has given the gift, and the first elder can't miss it." After saying this, he waved his hand.
