I think my luck is turning around.

Yang Tang quickly ordered his servants to prepare gold and silver jewelry to give to Shi San, but Ji Xia stopped him from doing so.

“My fellow cultivators have no shortage of such things. Just be grateful. There’s no need for anything else.”

After saying that, the group was about to leave, but Yang Tang stopped them again, "Would it be alright if we had a simple meal at home?"

With these repeated gestures, Ji Xia did not refuse again, but she did not mention that a banquet had been held directly. It was the evening of the second day, after a day of preparations, and many people had come, many of whom she had met at the polo match.

An Ge and the others sat at a table, utterly astonished by the scene before them. An Ge looked on in bewilderment, "Isn't this supposed to be a banquet? Wouldn't preparations in ancient times take several days? And this has only been one day!"

"I can't help but think they're happy! And they're efficient!"

Song Tianqing sat next to An Ge and kept eating. He hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time and missed it so much. It wasn't that he didn't know how to cook, but he could manage on his own and it wasn't as exquisite.

"How long has it been since you last ate?"

“Not much. I haven’t eaten properly since you left. I took a piece of pastry that Master made before I went down the mountain. It was hard to swallow, so sweet it was cloying. I just drank a liter of water.”

Song Tianqing's mouth was already full, and he was eating very happily. At this time, Shi San and Ji Xia were surrounded by many people. In fact, Shi San also wanted to eat some, but there were too many people, and she couldn't eat a single bite. She had to maintain a certain demeanor.

Ji Xia stood directly beside Shi San, dealing with everyone around them. Now everyone knows that Shi San saved the dying mother of the Yang family.

The previous rumors about Shi San seemed even more true, since everyone knew that Yang Tang's mother had been bedridden for many years, and even a coffin had been prepared. Now, it seemed that this was no longer necessary. In fact, Yang Tang's mother got out of bed and walked in front of the guests after just one night.

Now, Shi San's reputation has truly spread, and many people want to get close enough to absorb some of his divine aura and gain some opportunities. However, Shi San's cold demeanor has deterred many from their plans. The banquet lasted a long time before it ended, and the story has been circulating for a long time, even appearing in multiple versions. Many versions of the story end with Shi San saving Yang Tang's mother.

Of course, some people believed it without a doubt, and Shi San and his group, who lived in Luyang House, received all kinds of invitations and visiting cards every day.

Since the incident involving Yang Tang's mother, Shi San has remained secluded in the mountains and rivers, never venturing out. Li Yuesheng and Huang Lan are still being lectured; since returning to Luyang Residence, Ji Xia first lectured both of them, followed by Shi San's individual "discipline" of Huang Lan. Li Yuesheng, however, doesn't receive much more lecturing, as only Ji Xia can directly discipline him here.

Li Yuesheng had been in the mountains and rivers for seven days, confined to this limited space. It wasn't particularly boring, though; after the banquet, another person had returned, which was quite unusual.

Although he had seen people from the Near Heaven Sect before, this person was quite different from Lin Jingqing; the difference was significant.

Although Li Yuesheng was very curious, she remained courteous. She inquired about his name, his origins, and whether he knew one of her master's aunts. Although Li Yuesheng's family was a collateral branch, this branch was the most successful in the capital.

At this moment, Song Tianqing immediately thought of Li Hua. How should he put it? Of course, he knew her, but Song Tianqing didn't say anything and remained silent. An Ge, seeing Song Tianqing's state, also remained silent.

Seeing that Song Tianqing completely ignored him, Li Yuesheng tactfully ended the conversation. One has to admire the similarity of genes! Some genes are truly identical; even their incessant chatter is the same.
