Chapter 259 Opportunity

After bidding farewell to his nephew Song Xinyu, Song Qingze just wanted to take on some sect tasks, so he came directly to the General Affairs Hall not far away.

Just as he walked to the door, Song Qingze suddenly heard a familiar voice from afar.

"Brother Song, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing?"

"Oh! It's Brother Du. You and I are both in the same boat. How can you not know whether this day is good or not?" Song Qingze responded with a smile.

The person who greeted Song Qingze was Du Yucheng, who had performed two tasks with him many years ago. Like Song Qingze, Du Yucheng also failed in his foundation building a few years ago. The two of them can indeed be regarded as people with the same pain now.

Although they were from the same hometown in Xiaoyao Sect, their previous relationship could only be considered average. Until the failure of foundation building in these years, Song Qingze and Du Yucheng both became frustrated people, and their previous relationship suddenly became closer.

"Haha! Senior Brother Song is right. Senior Brother came to the General Affairs Hall today to exchange for spiritual pills." Du Yucheng asked tentatively with a calm face.

Song Qingze shook his head and said, "I have been practicing for a long time, but I am not as interested as my junior brother. This time I came to the General Affairs Hall just to take some tasks and see if I can return the good deeds I borrowed from my master earlier."

Hearing Song Qingze's words, Du Yucheng's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized, "Senior Brother Song, it seems that Master Lu still thinks highly of you. There may be a glimmer of hope for your path."

The good deeds that Song Qingze borrowed from his master were naturally the ones he owed when he exchanged for the foundation-building pill, otherwise he would not have not paid it back until now.

According to the Xiaoyao Sect's rules, the sect's good deeds for exchanging spiritual objects can be borrowed and returned to each other. All disciples can borrow part of the good deeds from others or their teachers when exchanging for the foundation-building pill. When Song Qingze was able to exchange for the foundation-building pill, the Song family did not help him much. It was mainly because his master Lu Ci'an helped and supported him.

Compared to Song Qingze's master who helped him a lot, Du Yucheng's master basically didn't care about him. He was able to get the foundation-building pill because of the promise he got when he betrayed his family and the Liu family.

This made him still feel a little bit upset. For so many years, he had always been careful to serve his master, but his master looked down on him. When he needed someone to work, he would treat him like a servant and never share any benefits with him. He had already hated this cheap master in his heart.

"It's my own fault. I'm penniless now, and I haven't even paid off the good deeds I owed. Even if Master really wants to help me, it's impossible. We don't have any big backers in this situation, and the sect will not give us another chance. Unless there is an opportunity that defies the heavens, I'm afraid there will be no hope of building a foundation in this life."

"Brother, don't be too pessimistic. As for opportunities, I do have one here, but it's a little dangerous. Brother Song, are you interested in listening?" Du Yucheng squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"If there is any opportunity, please tell me clearly, Brother Du."

"It's not convenient to talk here. Brother, how about you follow me to the cave to talk first." Du Yucheng said as he started to walk out.

Outside the Xianfeng Tower in Qinghefang, Song Qingming looked up at the sign of the restaurant. He remembered that it seemed to be the name he had chosen for Huang Siyuan. Time flies, and nearly twenty years have passed.

Twenty years have passed, and the restaurant is still the same, but the people coming and going have changed a lot. He himself has also transformed from a timid person who has just established his foundation to an ancestor of the Song family who can truly decide the fate of many people.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Song Qingming ran into a young man in white clothes who was working hard to serve dishes to the guests in the hall. After seeing his face clearly, Song Qingming frowned slightly with a puzzled look on his face.

The young man in white was surprised when he saw Song Qingming. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "Seventh Uncle, when did you come to Qinghefang? Why didn't I hear my second aunt talk about this?"

Looking at Song Xinhu who looked a little flustered, Song Qingming asked seriously, "Do I need to report to you when I come here? Didn't I come to Qinghefang to help your second aunt run the store? Why did you come here to be a waiter?"

"No, not a waiter. My second aunt always taught me to visit the family store more often and talk more with the people working below to better understand the operation of the store. Isn't this restaurant also our family's business? I just had time today, so I came here to take a look. I saw that the store was a little busy just now, so I wanted to help them."

"You seem to be quite skilled in serving dishes. You learn very quickly." Song Qingming nodded calmly, then left Song Xinhu and went directly to the private room on the second floor.

After Song Qingming left, Song Xinhu raised his head with a sense of relief, quickly dropped the things in his hands, and ran out of Xianfeng Building in a panic.

Huang Siyuan, who had just heard the sound and came out of the kitchen, shook her head helplessly after seeing this scene.

After eating and drinking, Song Qingming admired Huang Siyuan who was sitting beside him and concentrating on making tea with a smile on his face. For some reason, he liked Huang Siyuan's serious look.

"Is Qingyu still in the mountain? It's been so long, why doesn't she miss me at all and come to Qinghefang to see me?" Seeing Song Qingming staring at her, Huang Siyuan felt a little embarrassed, so she mentioned Song Qingyu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Qingyu, she has already established her foundation."

Hearing this, Huang Siyuan was shocked for a moment, and then smiled and said: "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me? Such a great thing, as her sister-in-law, I have to prepare a gift to congratulate her."

"It's been a while, I ordered that her foundation building should not be spread outside, and many people in the family don't know." Song Qingming said slowly.

"With her talent, plus your support, it's not a rare thing for her to be able to establish her foundation. She hasn't shown up for so long, and the people from other families should have guessed it soon." Huang Siyuan, who is often doing business, thinks quickly and can analyze the loopholes of things at once.

Song Qingming chuckled and said, "I didn't intend to keep it a secret. The main reason she didn't come down the mountain recently is that she has become more calm over the years, not because I don't let her go out."

Huang Siyuan understood this very well. Song Qingyu was a restless person back then. He would often sneak to Qinghefang to find her. In the Song family, few people except Song Qingming could control him.
