Chapter 201 I Don't Like This Person
"Brother, you're back!" Lan Xue was very happy to see Xia Daoming.
"Congratulations on becoming an inner disciple and becoming a disciple of Elder Mo." Xia Daoming said with a smile.
"It's all because of you that I'm where I am today." Lan Xue said with gratitude.
"It's a bit strange to tell me this." Xia Daoming said.
Lan Xue smiled and didn't say any more polite words. Instead, she asked Xia Daoming to sit down and went to prepare tea and snacks.
Soon, Lan Xue brought tea and snacks.
"How does it feel to become an inner disciple?" Xia Daoming took a sip of the tea and asked.
"Except for Elder Mo's personal guidance, which helped me a lot, there is no difference for the time being!" Lan Xue replied.
"Why is there no difference for the time being?" Xia Daoming said with some surprise.
"When you become an inner disciple, the biggest difference is that you have a dedicated foundation-building elder to guide you, and the sect will greatly increase your monthly salary. But now I have the resources given by my elder brother, so the increase in monthly salary is nothing." Lan Xue replied.
"So the problem is with me." Xia Daoming suddenly realized and slapped his forehead.
"That's right!" Lan Xue smiled.
"By the way, how is Elder Mo treating you?" Xia Daoming asked again.
"Elder Mo is very good to me. He teaches me the way and solves my doubts carefully. I feel that I have gained a lot. It is estimated that it will not take long for me to enter the eighth level of Qi Refining." Lan Xue replied.
"So fast! It seems that you really have a talent for cultivation." Xia Daoming said happily.
"How can you compare with my elder brother and two sisters-in-law!" Lan Xue hurriedly said modestly.
Xia Daoming smiled without comment.
"By the way, elder brother, Elder Mo severely punished Mo Rujun because of the matter of the Wanluo Secret Realm and forbade her to ask her for advice again." Lan Xue said.
"Hiss!" Xia Daoming couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard it, and said, "Wouldn't that be equivalent to breaking off the relationship with her? Elder Mo seems to be very disappointed with Mo Rujun."
"It wouldn't have been that bad. If Mo Rujun had admitted her mistakes and begged more, Elder Mo would not have been so cruel. But after Mo Rujun came back, she slandered my brother again, and Elder Mo was very angry and didn't give her a chance." Lan Xue said.
"She also slandered me?" Xia Daoming was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and said, "This is self-righteous, and it's her own fault. How old is she, how old is Elder Mo, and she grew up under Elder Mo's care. If she has a little trick, Elder Mo can probably see it clearly.
Elder Mo is a sensible person and a wise old man. You should learn more from her about how to behave in the world in addition to humbly asking her for some Taoist teachings, so as not to suffer losses in the future."
"Brother, I know." Lan Xue replied obediently.
"You are now an inner disciple, and Elder Mo is guiding you, so I am relieved. I am back to Changqing Lake now. If you have anything, come to Changqing Lake to find me. If you want to learn more about alchemy, you can come to Changqing Lake at any time. Just don't tell others about alchemy, lest others come to you and ask for help, and you don't know how to refuse." Xia Daoming stood up and said.
"Yes, big brother!" Lan Xue quickly stood up.
The sky gradually darkened.
Xia Daoming returned to Yinlongju in Changqing Lake.
Ji Wenyue and Liu Qiaolian had already been waiting for him in Yinlongju.
That night, the three of them played Landlord, and Miss Ji was very attentive and cooperated well.
The next day.
Ji Wenyue went to Bai Zeju as usual.
Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian stayed in Yinlongju to practice separately.
At noon, Xia Daoming remembered the six talismans he got in the second level of the secret realm, and took them out for Liu Qiaolian to look at.
Liu Qiaolian studied it for a long time, but still couldn't tell what kind of talisman it was. She just thought it should be related to space.
Seeing that Liu Qiaolian didn't recognize it, Xia Daoming had to put it away and prepared to go to Bai Zeju to ask Shang Rui for advice.
Xia Daoming had just gone out and took a few steps when he saw a familiar figure walking in front of him.
Ma Tianliang was carrying a basket of cakes, looking forward to what new gains he would get from Shang Rui today. Suddenly, he felt someone behind him and turned his head subconsciously.
Ma Tianliang was stunned. Isn't this Xia Daoming?
Xia Daoming was not too surprised that Ma Tianliang appeared here.
After all, Changqing City is the territory of Qingyuan Sect, and Ma Tianliang is an inner disciple. It is normal for him to know someone in Changqing Lake or come to Changqing Lake for a stroll.
But Ma Tianliang was quite surprised. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He raised a mocking and contemptuous sneer at the corner of his mouth. He turned around and wanted to continue to walk away, but after hesitating, he turned around and greeted Xia Daoming.
"Xia Daoming, this is Changqing Lake, an important place in Changqing City. The people who live here are basically either foundation-building seniors or some very famous cultivators. No strangers are allowed to wander around here.
Although you are a disciple of Qingyuan Sect, you are an outer sect disciple. It is best not to wander around here, lest you be driven out, which would be embarrassing."
Ma Tianliang walked up to Xia Daoming and persuaded him with a "kind" attitude. Then, without waiting for Xia Daoming to answer, he turned around and left.
Looking at Ma Tianliang's proud back as he left, Xia Daoming was speechless.
This guy feels very good about himself!
However, Xia Daoming was even more speechless immediately.
Because he saw from a distance that Ma Tianliang actually knocked on the door of Bai Zeju and walked in.
"No way, could this guy be related to Sister Rui?" Xia Daoming frowned slightly.
To him, Ma Tianliang was just a small flea.
Normally, Ma Tianliang loves to play and Xia Daoming lets him play without fussing with him. But one day, when Xia Daoming is really annoyed by him, all it takes is a slap in the face.
Therefore, Xia Daoming didn't care about Ma Tianliang's words just now.
But if Ma Tianliang has a relationship with Shangrui, then Xia Daoming can't be indifferent.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter to you. As long as he is not Sister Rui's biological son, you can never expect to get any benefits from Sister Rui."
Xia Daoming smiled coldly and walked towards Bai Zeju.
Baizeju.
When Ma Tianliang saw that there was another tall and burly woman in Shang Rui's family, his heart sank slightly and he became more vigilant.
"Tianliang, you're here, what's the matter?" Shang Rui was in high spirits on happy occasions. When he saw Ma Tianliang coming, his face showed a rare kind smile of elders, which was different from the previous coldness.
When Ma Tianliang saw Shang Rui talking to him with a smile for the first time, he couldn't help feeling ecstatic. He quickly stepped forward and said, "There's nothing important. I just finished my homework today and wanted to come see my great-aunt and bring you something you like." Yunxiangzhai Qionghua Jade Cake.”
Shangrui is the biological sister of Ma Tianliang's great-great-grandmother and a good friend of his great-aunt. Although the two are not related by blood, Ma Tianliang has kept silent about his great-aunt since he came to find her that day.
This title is naturally much more affectionate than that of the seniors.
A few days ago, Shang Rui was indifferent on the surface after meeting his old friend because his death was approaching, but when Ma Tianliang called her great-aunt, he was somewhat touched in his heart and evoked many memories of the past.
"You kid, you have a heart!" Shang Rui was in a good mood. Seeing Ma Tianliang's admiration, his face became more kind.
"This is what juniors should do." Ma Tianliang said honestly and kindly.
"Come on, Ziying, come and eat some pastries brought by Tianliang." Shangrui greeted Lu Ziying who was in the courtyard.
As for Ji Wenyue, she was thinking about a pill recipe in the room at this time, and Shangrui didn't disturb her.
"Okay!" Lu Ziying agreed, with a look of displeasure flashing in her eyes.
Lu Ziying is tall and burly, with a rough appearance, but she is thoughtful and has keen senses.
She opened the door for Ma Tianliang just now. Ma Tianliang looked at her with a complicated look, including disgust and contempt for her appearance, but also wariness of her. Although he immediately showed a kind and honest side, Lu Ziying had already marked Ma Tianliang. Hypocrite label.
Lu Ziying had just sat down to eat some pastries with Shangrui when there was a knock on the door.
Just as Shang Rui was about to speak, Ma Tianliang had already rushed to open the door to welcome the guests.
Shangrui let him go, thinking that he and Xia Daoming were from the same school, so they could just get to know each other.
"Xia Daoming? What are you doing here? Is this a place you can come to?" When Ma Tianliang saw it was Xia Daoming, he immediately lowered his face and scolded.
When Shang Rui heard this, he screamed in his heart, and walked out of the living room quickly, shouting: "You must not be rude!"
Lu Ziying naturally followed him out of the living room.
"Great-aunt, you misunderstood. He is a new disciple of our outer sect Lingtian Hall. He is probably..." Ma Tianliang explained quickly.
"I know this. He is my friend. He is not in the wrong place." Shangrui interrupted.
"What?" Ma Tianliang was shocked when he heard this and was dumbfounded.
"Great-aunt?" Xia Daoming frowned slightly and said, "Sister Rui, is this Ma Tianliang your sister's great-grandson?"
"Sister Rui!"
Just now, Ma Tianliang was just surprised that Xia Daoming actually knew Shangrui. This time when he heard Xia Daoming call Shangrui, he was so frightened that his hair broke out in cold sweat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Ms. sir, you're here! Hey, what's wrong?" At this moment, Ji Wenyue walked out, first waved to Xia Daoming happily, and then she felt something was wrong in the atmosphere.
"Ms. sir!"
Ma Tianliang's heart sank when he heard Ji Wenyue's name to Xia Daoming.
Only then did he know that this woman turned out to be Xia Daoming's wife.
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings! Brother Xia, I'm sorry, I didn't know you knew my great-aunt, so I offended you so much!" Ma Tianliang reacted quickly, and immediately bowed to Xia Daoming to apologize, with a sincere attitude.
Xia Daoming ignored Ma Tianliang and looked at Shangrui.
Seeing that Xia Daoming ignored Ma Tianliang, Shang Rui's expression changed slightly, and he continued Xia Daoming's previous question and replied: "Ma Tianliang is my sister's great-nephew, and he is also the great-grandson of an old friend of mine when I worked for the Ma family. So he called me great-aunt. Did he and you have any misunderstandings before? "
Finally, Shangrui asked.
"I don't like this person!" Xia Daoming replied simply.
This simple sentence made Shangrui's face instantly turn cold.
Then, Shang Rui looked at Ma Tianliang with cold and sharp eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Ma Tianliang, leave now. You are not allowed to step into Bai Zeju in the future!"
After experiencing so many things, Shangrui already knew what Xia Daoming was like.
Essentially, he and Lan Xue are the same type of people.
Since he said he was not happy, how could Shangrui still think about his insignificant relationship with Ma Tianliang!
"Great-aunt, please listen to my explanation, I..." Ma Tianliang trembled all over as soon as he heard this, his face turned pale, and he quickly spoke to try to save himself.
"No need to explain! Anyone who Daoming doesn't like is someone I don't like!" Shangrui said coldly. After saying that, without waiting for Ma Tianliang's response, an old flowering vine in the courtyard suddenly grew long branches. He directly rolled up Ma Tianliang and sent him out of Bai Zeju.
Ma Tianliang had just landed when a basket of pastries flew over and landed in front of him.
Ma Tianliang looked at the basket in front of him, his limbs were cold, his whole body was shaking, and his mind was blank.
He never dreamed that Xia Daoming not only knew Shang Rui, but also had such a close relationship with them.
With just one word of displeasure, Shang Rui, who had a kind face and an elder's attitude just now, didn't even give him a chance to explain, and directly threw him out.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"How is this possible? He is just a martial arts grandmaster!"
"Why? Why?"
Seeing the promising wealth and glory just gone!
Ma Tianliang was very unwilling.
Especially since the other party was Xia Daoming, he was even more unwilling, and even hated Shang Rui.
He couldn't figure out why Shang Rui cared about and trusted Xia Daoming so much.
Why didn't Shang Rui even give him a chance to explain?
He is the descendant of her old friend, and he is also an inner disciple of Qingyuan Sect. He has extraordinary talent in cultivating immortals. No matter how you compare, he is much stronger than a mere outer disciple who is over 30 years old and has only reached the seventh level of Qi Refining!
Xia Daoming's road can basically see the end, and he has a bright future!
And that beautiful alchemist woman turned out to be Xia Daoming's wife, which also made Ma Tianliang unwilling and jealous!
A flower stuck in cow dung!
However, no matter how unwilling or jealous he was, Ma Tianliang didn't dare to knock on the door again!
A cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building is not someone he, Ma Tianliang, can provoke!
Ma Tianliang looked at the closed door, his face changing for a long time, and then he left in a huff.
Ma Tianliang is a scheming man after all. On the way back, he slowly calmed down his unwillingness, jealousy, and anger, and began to review everything related to Xia Daoming.
However, as he reviewed the situation one by one, Ma Tianliang's resentment, jealousy and even anger surged up again.
"No wonder he doesn't care about that piece of spiritual field. It turns out that he has Shang Rui's back! No, there is Lan Xue! Yes, there is Lan Xue. She was originally a pauper. Not only did she suddenly advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining at the last minute, but she also had three magic weapons on hand, one of which was a high-level defensive magic weapon!
That is comparable to the top-level attack magic weapon, worth tens of thousands, and even many hall elders in the outer sect probably can't afford it! How could she afford it? I thought she was lucky and accidentally broke into an ownerless cave. Now it seems that it must have been given by Xia Daoming.
Shang Rui's deadline is approaching, and she trusts Xia Daoming so much. She must be ready to pass on all her life savings to him, so she will give him whatever he wants! A few magic weapons are worth a lot for ordinary foundation-building cultivators, but for Shang Rui, it's nothing!"
Thinking of this, Ma Tianliang was really jealous and his heart was broken.
All of this was originally his!
In his opinion, Xia Daoming must have taken advantage of Shang Rui's approaching deadline to cheat her feelings!
Back to his house, Ma Tianliang was still upset.
Like a trapped animal in a rage, he walked around the house.
At this moment, Zhong Meng came to find him.
As soon as he saw Zhong Meng, Ma Tianliang remembered that if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have fallen out with Xia Daoming, and he wouldn't have been kicked out by Shang Rui today, and he was immediately furious.
However, Zhong Meng didn't seem to see Ma Tianliang's angry expression, but said excitedly: "Brother Ma, Jia Shaoxuan has successfully built his foundation!"
Ma Tianliang, who was about to get angry, heard this and his face suddenly changed. He exclaimed: "What Jia Shaoxuan has successfully built his foundation!"
"Yes, not only has he successfully built his foundation, but he has also been accepted as a registered disciple by Luo Qian." Zhong Meng was excited.
"He was actually accepted as a registered disciple by Luo Qian!" Ma Tianliang's face changed again, and his mood was complicated.
Jia Shaoxuan is Zhong Meng's distant cousin, and with Zhong Meng's deliberate efforts, the two have a good relationship.
Ma Tianliang is an inner disciple, and because of his relationship with Zhong Meng, he also has a good relationship with Jia Shaoxuan.
Logically speaking, Jia Shaoxuan successfully built his foundation and was accepted as a registered disciple by the Jindan Patriarch. Ma Tianliang should be happy, but he is more bitter and jealous.
"Yes, he has successfully established his foundation at the age of 23, and has been accepted as a registered disciple by the Jindan Patriarch. He will have a promising future, and may even become the Jindan Patriarch in the future!
Whether he has the hope of becoming the Jindan Patriarch in the future or not, he has now been accepted as a registered disciple by the Patriarch Luo Qian, and his status in the sect is higher than that of the inner sect foundation-building disciples such as Mo Yongzhi. He will be focused on cultivation by the sect and can get more cultivation resources.
With my relationship with Jia Shaoxuan, he will definitely help me to promote me, so that I may be able to cultivate to perfection before the age of 35. As long as I cultivate to perfection, I will be able to enter the inner sect with his relationship.
Humph, compared to Jia Shaoxuan, what is Xia Daoming? When the time comes, he will definitely come forward to teach him a lesson for me." Zhong Meng, who was in excitement, did not seem to notice Ma Tianliang's complicated expression, and continued to speak, his eyes full of expectation and longing.
"Xia Daoming!" Hearing these three words, Ma Tianliang's heart was shocked, and the whole person woke up, and his mind turned quickly.
"That's right. Compared to Uncle Master Jia, Xia Daoming is nothing." Thinking about it, Ma Tianliang nodded in agreement.
In Qingyuan Sect, foundation-building cultivators are automatically one generation higher than Qi-refining cultivators.
"Uncle Master Jia?" Zhong Meng was slightly stunned.
"Jia Shaoxuan is now a foundation-building cultivator. You'd better call him Uncle Master." Ma Tianliang said.
"Yes, yes, thank goodness Senior Brother Ma reminded me." Zhong Meng nodded repeatedly.
"Uncle Jia has become a foundation-building cultivator and has been accepted by Elder Luo Qian as a disciple. We should hold a banquet to entertain him to express our congratulations." Ma Tianliang followed.
"Yes, I was planning to do so, so I came to discuss it with Senior Brother." Zhong Meng said.
——
Bai Ze Ju.
After Shang Rui drove Ma Tianliang away, he did not ask Xia Daoming why he disliked this person.
For her, this was not important.
Ji Wenyue was a bit gossipy and asked about Ma Tianliang out of curiosity.
After asking this question, everyone knew that Ma Tianliang, as a consular disciple, not only supported Zhong Meng in bullying Lan Xue behind the scenes, but also secretly arranged a very poor spiritual field for him because of Xia Daoming's obstruction.
Although Xia Daoming did not need that little spiritual field income at all, for Ji Wenyue and the other two, this was very bad.
"I didn't expect that Ma Tianliang was so abominable. He not only bullied Sister Lan Xue, but also bullied my husband. I'm so angry!" Ji Wenyue said angrily.
"I really didn't expect that Ma Tianliang was such a bad person. I thought he was honest and kind, and I also gave him a few Qi Gathering Pills because of his old relationship with his great-grandmother!" Shang Rui said with a somewhat ugly face.
"Hehe, he's just a villain. It's not worth getting angry for him. Sister, you are knowledgeable. Can you help me see what kind of talisman this is?" Xia Daoming smiled indifferently, and then took out a box.
"Talisman?" Shang Rui's eyes fell on the box, revealing a trace of curiosity and solemnity.
It would not be an ordinary talisman that Xia Daoming brought specially to ask her.
Xia Daoming opened the box and pushed it in front of Shang Rui.
"Sister, take a look."
"This is..." Shang Rui's eyes fell on the talisman, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
