Chapter 8 Resignation
"Huh? You're crying already."
Jiang He walked out of the house again and looked at Bai Minxin in surprise as she was crying silently. He thought this girl would never cry.
At least, in the memory of her previous life, she had never cried.
"I didn't cry just now." Bai Minxin quickly wiped the tears from her face and choked.
Did this guy come back on purpose to see her ugly appearance?
"Minxin, you don't want anything to happen to your junior sisters, do you?"
Jiang He was also somewhat helpless. In order to allow her to integrate well into this changing family, he had to take extraordinary measures.
The other two disciples were still able to interact with him, but Bai Minxin was the only one who wouldn't respond to his advances. He had to first consider how to make her not resist his advances.
"What do you mean? What are you going to do?!"
After Bai Minxin took a deep breath to calm her sobs, she heard this guy's malicious words.
"As long as you listen to me, I won't do anything to them, don't worry. Otherwise."
Jiang He paused deliberately, leaving space for her to imagine.
"you you"
Bai Minxin's face turned pale and his lips trembled.
Finally, as if letting out a sigh of relief, the brilliance in his eyes disappeared.
"As long as you keep your promise and don't bully them, I'll listen to you."
"Then eat this lunch." Jiang He handed him the lunch box, which contained the dishes from the previous night.
He had deliberately left some for his eldest disciple to give to her, but he didn't expect that it would take so much time to make the talisman.
"Eh?"
Bai Minxin's sense of smell is already better than that of ordinary people, and coupled with the rich aroma of the spiritual rice, her throat moved unconsciously.
Although I was reluctant to let him see me looking so hungry, I really couldn't help it.
"Remember what I said. If you don't eat it, I will punish your senior sister."
Jiang He turned around and walked back home. He was in front of her, and he estimated that even if she ate it, it would be tasteless. So he went back to continue making talismans. Time waits for no one, and spiritual stones are like flowing water.
It's a must to eat anyway.
Then I can't help it.
When Bai Minxin saw Jiang He's back disappear, she couldn't help but eat heartily. The pair of chopsticks almost turned into afterimages, and fell into Bai Minxin's stomach after a while.
So fragrant~
After returning to the room, Jiang He continued to draw talismans. More than a dozen pieces of talisman paper were used up overnight.
Most of it was wasted on practicing first-level mid-grade talismans, as he was not yet very proficient in controlling spiritual energy.
But in the end, he successfully drew a first-level medium-quality talisman.
My predecessor used to earn spirit stones by selling mid-grade talismans, as there was really no market for low-grade talismans.
Jiang He picked up the bronze mirror and looked at his appearance in this life.
After taking a look, Jiang He finally understood. No wonder people would stay away from him even if they didn't know him.
Half of his cheek was swollen like a pig's head, there was a bloody wound at the corner of his mouth, his skin was sickly pale, and his long hair was extremely messy.
When he pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled, the crack at the corners of his mouth pulled the smile into an exaggerated arc, which made him feel creepy.
The person who beat him was Lin Chi, the third young master of the Lin family, a male protagonist in the original novel.
He was good at the art of soul and spirit, and the slap he gave him at that time contained the art of soul and spirit. Lin Chi wanted to slap him to death directly. However, his previous incarnation was very lucky and had a long life, so he escaped with his life, but his soul and spirit were seriously damaged.
Originally, his predecessor had really become a madman at this time. However, his soul had traveled through time and was not affected by the injuries of his predecessor's soul.
The injuries were all on his face, and he looked miserable. Jiang He nodded with satisfaction. He thought that if the Zhao family resigned, he should be able to get more compensation.
After leaving the room, the three disciples were still sleeping in a huddle.
After installing the heating talisman, the room was already very warm, and the quilt that was previously tightly covered had been kicked down to the feet.
The eldest disciple and the second disciple hugged the youngest disciple tightly on each side. Jin'er, who was sleeping between them, had a frown on her usually expressionless face, which looked a little troubled.
Jiang He moved lightly and pushed the door open carefully.
The Zhao family, who was previously on duty, was in Dongfang City.
Dongfang City was the first city to be established. The number and strength of the cultivators living around this city are unmatched by other cities.
There were originally three foundation-building families here, the Zhao family, the Chen family, and the Lin family.
Each of them has a foundation-building cultivator. The Lin family declined because the head of the family and several elders died in an important trade.
The Zhao Mansion in front of us covers an area of more than a thousand square meters. There are guards patrolling outside from time to time, and there are other members of the Zhao family guarding the mansion.
These guards are often jokingly called watchdogs by casual cultivators who can't even get in the door, and they are also part of the Zhao family's pomp.
His sixth-level Qi training level was outstanding among them. Therefore, he was mainly responsible for patrolling near the gate.
A middle-aged man stood at the door with a depressed look on his face, and there was a slap mark on his face exactly the same as Jiang He's.
Seeing Jiang He, his face darkened:
"How dare you come back? You can't even stop a little kid."
Jiang He only knew that this middle-aged man was a steward of the Zhao family, but he was also a cannon fodder in the original novel.
After Lin Chi broke into the Zhao family, he relied on his golden finger: the Xuanhuang Pearl, and slapped everyone in his hand, deliberately humiliating the Zhao family.
The foundation-building cultivator of the Zhao family was just about to take action to kill this ignorant little cultivator, but Lin Chi was not a fool.
At this time, he had already met one of his future concubines: Liu Wan.
On the surface, he is the elder of Wuya Sect, but in reality, he is a hidden man of Demon Sect. The elder of Wuya Sect tried to protect Lin Chi, and the Zhao family had no choice but to bear the loss.
Why is it hard for cannon fodder to be cannon fodder?
Jiang He bowed politely:
"The Zhao family once had a rule that if a guard is injured on duty, he will be compensated with corresponding resources. Besides, my spiritual stones for this month have not yet been paid. I will leave naturally after getting what I deserve."
Butler Zhao was still very angry at this time. His superiors were embarrassed and put all the blame on him. They fined him half a year's salary and made him guard the door for a year. They announced to the public that it was all because of his poor supervision.
He immediately said sarcastically:
"You still want a salary? I let you be the guard because you are at the sixth level of Qi training. I didn't pay attention to the rumors because I saw you were doing your job well. But I didn't expect you to be such a waste that even a fourth-level cultivator couldn't stop you from giving up your previous salary. You should be content. Get out, get out now."
This old wall lamp was taking advantage of him to vent his anger. The Zhao family members inside couldn't stop this fourth-floor guy, so they blamed him.
Jiang He was unhappy now:
"Look at your dog face. Aren't you also at the sixth level of Qi training? How come you were also slapped?"
After that, since his predecessor had no face, he didn’t care about it anymore and immediately shouted at the top of his voice:
"My fellow guards, my fellow Taoists. This housekeeper Zhao is destroying the Zhao family's reputation. I have shed blood for the Zhao family."
The Zhao family is located on the main road of Dongfang City, so there are naturally many wandering cultivators coming and going. His loud voice successfully attracted the attention of many passers-by.
