Chapter 58 Hobbies The blue phoenix in the sky folded its wings, and the two women on its back landed on the ground. "Senior Sister Zhang, let's go see my mother first!" said the eldest lady of the Zhao family, who was dressed in red. The Senior Sister Zhang she mentioned didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly, with a somewhat cold expression. The two walked towards the two-story building where the lady lived. The closer they got to the building, the faster Miss Zhao's steps became. The lady, who almost never went downstairs, was already waiting at the door of the small building. When Miss Zhao saw her mother, she could no longer contain her excitement and ran into her mother's arms. "mother!" The mother and daughter have been separated for ten years, and when they meet again, they should have a thousand words to say. But at this moment, apart from "mother", she seemed unable to say anything else. As soon as she opened her mouth, sobs burst out from her chest. She could only bury her head in her lady's arms and cry. The lady gently touched her daughter's bun. In her memory, her daughter was still the same small girl as when she left home, or a little girl who had just started to grow her hair, with her hair tied into thin braids.
Now the daughter in my arms has grown into a slender and graceful young lady, taller than myself, with a head full of thick, jet-black hair. Somehow, her heart was filled with bitterness and her eyes began to feel slightly hot. The lady sniffed, holding back tears, and reprimanded, "You've grown up, but you still cry every time you see each other like you did when you were little. What a shame." But the hoarseness in her voice inevitably exposed her inner excitement. Senior Sister Zhang stood far away, as if she wanted to give some space to the mother and daughter who had not seen each other for a long time. Madam looked up and saw Senior Sister Zhang, and patted her daughter on the back: "You brought a friend back, and you just left him aside without introducing him to her?" Miss Zhao raised her head, her face full of tears. She rubbed her face against her mother's body in embarrassment, then turned back to greet her companion, "Senior Sister Zhang, this is my mother." Senior Sister Zhang walked a little closer and nodded slightly to the lady. Her expression was polite yet distant, and she didn't say anything. Miss Zhao introduced her to the lady again, "Mother, this is Senior Sister Zhang from the Jiushan Sect, the youngest genius talisman master in the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and she has now reached the Golden Core stage!" The lady originally thought that the other party was a bit rude, but after hearing about his identity, she felt that he was qualified. Like the Jiushan Sect and the Qingmu Sect, both are sects that have Nascent Soul ancestors in charge, but the Hundred Immortals Alliance is even more extraordinary. It is a close-knit alliance formed by many immortal sects with great power, and there are countless cultivators belonging to the Hundred Immortals Alliance. Jiushanmen and Qingmuzong are also members of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. In such a large force, the fact that Senior Sister Zhang can be called the youngest talented talisman master by Miss Zhao shows her level of skill in the art of talismans, not to mention that she is a Jindan Zhenren. Madam solemnly bowed deeply to Senior Sister Zhang: "I didn't know that Jindan Zhenren was here. I am sorry for being so rude." Senior Sister Zhang's expression was still cold, but she spoke politely: "Madam, you are so polite. Senior Sister Zhao is my good friend, and Senior Uncle Zhao is also my elder. We are only talking about friendship, not cultivation." "Then..." The lady looked at her daughter hesitantly. When she saw her nod at her, she said, "Then I will be so generous as to call you my niece. I have asked the maid to prepare tea. Please take a seat." Even so, the lady was still cautious and worried, fearing that she might offend this genius Jindan Zhenren. The three of them went up to the small building and waited for Miss Zhao to tidy up her appearance before they started chatting while drinking tea. Madam was afraid of offending Senior Sister Zhang, so she had to pay attention to her expression all the time.
Gradually, she discovered that this Senior Sister Zhang was probably not aloof and arrogant, she just didn't talk much. Occasionally, when she tried to talk to her, she would look a little helpless. If she was only talking to her own daughter, Senior Sister Zhang would have a faint look of relief on her face. The lady had a rough idea of the other person's character, so she simply stopped trying to chat with him. Sure enough, Senior Sister Zhang's behavior became much more natural, and she seemed completely uninterested in what the two were talking about. She was chatting with her daughter, and Senior Sister Zhang seemed a little bored. She pointed to the small bookshelf beside her and asked, "Can I take a look?" "My dear niece, just treat this place as your own home," the lady said in a friendly manner. Senior Sister Zhang nodded, found a book on the bookshelf and started reading. The two chatted for a while. The lady was still afraid that she would neglect Senior Sister Zhang, so she looked at her from time to time and found that she seemed to be engrossed in reading and didn't care whether the two of them paid attention to her or not. "My dear niece, are you interested in this book?" The lady looked at what she was holding, which was "Junior High School Mathematics". She laughed and said, "This book gives me a headache, but I heard that it was passed down by Yuanying." Senior Sister Zhang raised her eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded, "You are not talking nonsense. Can I take this book and read it?" The lady was slightly startled. Seeing that she had no intention of explaining, she did not ask any more questions. She just said generously, "This was presented by one of my son's servants. If you are interested, you can take it." She thought about it and felt that it would not be good for her and her daughter to talk here and leave the guests aside. What's more, the presence of a Jindan Zhenren was a bit too strong. So he said to Senior Sister Zhang, "You must have been exhausted from the journey. I have asked someone to prepare a clean guest room for you. It is in the small courtyard next to Shan'er's yard. Why don't you go and rest there first, my dear niece?" Senior Sister Zhang nodded and stood up following the maid who led the way. When she reached the door, she seemed to remember something and suddenly turned back to ask, "What's the name of the book boy?" "My name is Zheng Fa." "Zheng Fa." Senior Sister Zhang nodded, as if she remembered the name, and left with the book. After her figure disappeared in the small building, the lady gently stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. The daughter at the side asked, "Mother, why are you so afraid of Senior Sister Zhang?" The lady said unhappily, "It's all because of you that you brought such an ancestor back!" Unexpectedly, her daughter ignored her words and asked another question: "Is Zheng Fa the book boy you mentioned in your letter?" "it's him." "My mother asked me to reserve a position for him as a personal attendant in her letter. This was possible before, but I'm afraid it's not possible now." The lady was startled, frowned and said, "I have already promised him." "Mother, you don't know the reason." Miss Zhao explained: "I have two personal positions when I enter the inner sect this time. One position has been agreed with the inner sect brother to be given to his family. The other position I want to leave for my younger brother just in case." "Your brother? Isn't he going to attend the Immortal Products Conference?" "When I came back, I heard that the requirements for this Immortal Talent Fair were higher. My brother's dual spiritual root qualifications might not be able to be classified as top-grade and enter the Qingmu Sect..." The lady had never heard of this before, and was at a loss: "What about your brother?" "Don't panic, mother. I asked Senior Sister Zhang to come back so that she could teach my brother the magic of talismans. Senior Sister Zhang is famous for her magic of talismans in the Hundred Immortals Alliance. With her guidance, my brother should have the possibility of becoming a top-grade talisman master."
Only then did the lady understand why her daughter wanted to bring Senior Sister Zhang back. "Then this personal position..." The eldest lady sighed, "My brother's character was clearly described in the letter by mother. He is not ambitious. I am afraid that even with Senior Sister Zhang, his talisman skills will not improve much. If the Immortal Product Conference fails, I will let him become my personal attendant and follow me to Qingmu Sect." The lady was still a little hesitant. "Mother! The requirements of the Immortal Talent Association are getting higher and higher. If I fail this year, I won't be able to go in the future!" As she spoke, the eldest lady's voice suddenly became lower: "Mother, do you want your brother to be like father, wasting his life and indulging in alcohol and sex because he can't go to the Immortal Gate?" After hearing this, the lady finally nodded. "No matter what, I must bring my brother into the Immortal Sect this time. If my brother successfully passes the Immortal Qualifications and enters the Qingmu Sect, the position of personal attendant will be given to Zheng Fa, just as mother said." Madam thought of Senior Sister Zhang's behavior just now, and asked hesitantly, "Is Senior Sister Zhang not easy to get along with? With Fan'er's personality, I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn anything from her, and I'm also afraid of offending her. She's a Jindan, and a talent for talismans. My Zhao family can't afford to offend her." "Senior Sister Zhang..." The eldest lady's expression suddenly looked a little strange: "She is just not good at dealing with people. In fact, she is a very good person. You can even say that she is naive about worldly affairs." "Not good at?" "To be precise, other people are afraid to deal with her. Over time, she has nothing to say to others." The eldest lady hesitated slightly, and a little fear appeared on her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Her hobby is a bit special." The lady had a puzzled look on her face. "Mother, don't worry about what kind of person Senior Sister Zhang is. You just need to know that if our Zhao family hadn't had a history with the elders of Senior Sister Zhang's family, and if she and I hadn't had a good relationship, she wouldn't have come to visit." At this point, Miss Zhao looked a little proud: "Many people want to ask Senior Sister Zhang for advice on talismans, but she's a very difficult person to ask!" …… Zheng Legalist. After lunch, Zheng Fa stood in the yard. He has always been diligent, and even after he had mastered the Songhe stance, he still practiced it every day. There was a gentle knock on the door. Who will find me? He walked to the door and found that the person knocking on the door was a woman in a green Taoist robe with a cold face and a book in her hand. "Did you write this?" She handed the book to Zheng Fa, who took a look and saw it was "Junior High School Mathematics". Apart from the young master's study, only the lady has a copy of this thing. "Someone else taught me." Zheng Fa knew that this person must have some connection with the Zhao family, and his background must be quite prominent, so he simply told the truth. "So you are good at mathematics?" Unexpectedly, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up and her expression became more lively. "It's not that great, it's just... I've learned more than others." Zheng Fa is very humble when thinking about his mathematical talent which is not considered outstanding in the modern world. But compared to the people in this world, he felt that he was still much stronger.
"When you are bored, do you also do math problems to relieve your boredom?" The woman's eyes became more eager. "Also? Are you bored? Doing some exercises to relieve your boredom?" Zheng Fa found it difficult to understand the logic of this sentence and repeated it in his mouth. Then, he saw the woman nodding repeatedly with an eager look on her face, looking at him expectantly, as if she was looking for a rare member of her own kind. In the yard, Zheng's mother looked at Zheng Fa, her expression seemed to be asking who this uninvited guest was. ...Well, he's a pervert. (End of this chapter)
