4494 I’ve never eaten pork, but I’ve seen a pig run
Just as he was speaking, he saw third elder accompanying an old man coming from the distance.
The old man was dressed in a luxurious long robe. He had crane-like hair and a ruddy face. He had the air of a master, but his expression was extremely arrogant. With his hands behind his back, he pointed at the Ling family’s garden as he walked, as if he didn’t think much of it.
“Third elder, the construction of that Pavilion isn’t very reasonable. It’s bad for the Feng Shui. Why don’t we tear it down?”
“Also, that small lake isn’t good for gathering spiritual energy. Let’s just fill it up.”
“Oh, there are also a few houses in the distance. They are too old and don’t deserve the Ling family’s status, so they have been pushed aside.” Although he was far away, Ling Chuxi could still hear what he was saying with her sharp hearing.
The first two sentences were fine, but when she heard the last sentence, Ling Chuxi almost went crazy. Heavens, that was the Ling family’s ancestral shrine. How could they just push it away like that?
Who exactly was this old man? he actually dared to come to the Ling family to spout nonsense and even wanted to destroy the Ling family’s ancestral shrine. Was he looking for death? Ling Chuxi could vaguely guess that this old man was probably a guest invited by third elder.
“Oh, oh, oh.” The third elder responded absent-mindedly, his expression helpless.
Ling Zhongyu and the others did not notice that person. They gathered around Ling Chuxi and talked and laughed along the way, occasionally letting out a few exclamations of surprise. Naturally, they attracted the attention of the old man. The old man turned his head and looked at Ling Zhongyu and the others. His face was full of impatience, and he snorted coldly.
Only then did Ling Zhongyu and the others notice the old man, and they all turned their faces away in annoyance. Seeing them like this, Ling Chuxi was certain that the person they hated so much that they wanted to avoid was this old man.
It was no wonder that they hated this person so much. Just from hearing him say those few words, he was really not liked by others.
“Chuxi, you’re back!” Seeing Ling Chuxi, third elder’s face was also filled with joy.
“Third elder, I came back in a hurry this time and didn’t prepare any gifts. This is for you.” In addition to choosing gifts for Ling Zhongyu and the other younger generation of the Ling family, Ling Chuxi had also specially prepared gifts for the elders of the Ling family. However, her words were still very humble.
“Chuxi, we’re all family. Why do you have to spend so much money every time?” The third elder said with a smile. Although his words were polite, his action of taking the brocade box was not slow at all.
He had seen Ling Chuxi’s extravagance more than once and knew that the gifts she took out would definitely not be ordinary.
“This is …” Opening the box, the third elder was stunned, his eyes somewhat blank.
“The universe bamboo! It’s one of the ten Chaos Divine trees, the universe bamboo!” The third elder didn’t recognize what the small bamboo branch in the brocade box was, but the old man beside him cried out in surprise.
Ling Chuxi couldn’t help but look at him again. Although this person’s habit of pointing and scratching was annoying, he was quite knowledgeable.
“What? this … This is the legendary universe bamboo?” The third elder had never eaten pork before, but he had seen pigs run. When he heard that this was the universe bamboo, he was so excited that he stuttered.
“That’s right, this is the universe bamboo. ” Ling Chuxi smiled indifferently.
The third elder’s cultivation level was at the peak of the Emperor level. With the spiritual pills she had given him in the past, he would probably be able to break through to the divine level in no time. However, his temperament was too impetuous. The closer he was to the divine level, the more anxious he would be. The chances of him going into Qi deviation were much higher than the elders of the Ling clan. That was why Ling Chuxi had specially cut off a small piece of the universe bamboo for him.
The third elder was even willing to give her the Azure Spirit Fire. Of course, she would not be stingy with such a small piece of the universe bamboo. After all, it was a living thing and could grow again.
