Xu Ce looked at the two of them and felt a little moved. He bowed to Uncle Jiu and Mao Shanming and said:

"Master, Fellow Daoist Mao, I didn't expect that I would ask you so late at night..."

Uncle Jiu waved his hand directly and said with a smile:

"Disciple Xu Ce, don't say those useless words. Since you are going to be promoted, you should tell your teacher earlier. The retreat for advancement is very critical. If you are disturbed by others, it will be very troublesome.

.

I won’t be an exception this time. If you want to be promoted again, you have to inform your teacher in advance, you know?”

"Yes, Master."

Looking at Uncle Jiu's concerned and pleased eyes, Xu Ce felt warm in his heart. Uncle Jiu is really a good master.

"Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm not telling you, something as critical as improving one's realm is not something to be trifled with.

You must know that you are now one of the gods. I, Mao Shanming, will not obey anyone, but I will obey you, Brother Daoist Xu.

If Pindao were twenty years younger, he would still be a disciple of fellow Taoist Xu even if he was shameless..."

Mao Shanming's flattery immediately hit him, and Xu Ce felt relieved after hearing it. Although the flattery was very explicit, it was also very real.

"Ahem, um, fellow Taoist Mao, it's getting late. There's still something to do tomorrow. Why don't you go to bed early? If there's anything, how about we talk about it tomorrow?"

Xu Ce saw that Mao Shanming showed no sign of stopping. The more he heard this comfortable flattery, the less pleasant it became. Moreover, Uncle Jiu had already begun to twitch the corner of his mouth next to him, so he quickly interrupted.

"That's fine. Then Xu Daoyou has a good rest. We will discuss it tomorrow."

Maoshan Ming's intention was still unfinished. He felt that he could still talk for an hour, but Xu Ce was seeing off the guests, so he couldn't say anything more.

…

Dawn the next day.

Xu Ce walked out of the room in high spirits. Before he could take a breath of the air outside, he was stunned for a moment. Mao Shanming appeared in front of him at the door with a smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, wake up. I've already called for breakfast."

Mao Shanming smiled brightly.

Well……

Xu Ce's face froze slightly. What's going on? When did this guy come? Why didn't he notice it before?

Downstairs, there were people waving to Xu Ce.

Immortal, Taoist, Immortal, all kinds of random names were shouted out.

Suddenly, the black line on Xu Ce's forehead jumped. What kind of situation is this? If this continues, can he still be a low-key and gorgeous handsome man?

Although, this kind of title is really cool...

Uncle Jiu was already sitting at the dining table below and waved to Xu Ce, who then walked down.

Immediately, all the security team members who came from Renjia Town and settled at the Baohe Inn stood up and saluted Xu Ce with great respect.

This feeling is very refreshing, but also very embarrassing.

Xu Ce awkwardly cast a questioning look at Uncle Jiu, who also glanced helplessly at Mao Shanming next to him.

For this reason, even if Uncle Jiu said nothing, Xu Ce understood that it was all the fault of Mao Shanming, the loudspeaker, and he was also drunk.

After eating breakfast.

Awei said:

"Uncle Jiu, I have already agreed with Boss Wang of the restaurant that I will host a big party for you tonight. I wish Uncle Jiu a blessing as good as the East China Sea and a longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."

"Captain Awei, I don't think it's necessary. The evil horse thieves and cultivators haven't been completely eliminated yet. There's no need to do this now. If the female bandit leader appears, it won't ruin things."

Uncle Jiu shook his head and refused. His birthday was correct, but it happened once every year, and he was not a full-year-old boy. Compared to the banditry of horse thieves, it was nothing more.

But that’s not what students like Awei think in their hearts. Xu Ce is already among the gods, and Uncle Jiu is Xu Ce’s master. How can he neglect it? Such an excellent opportunity to express himself, if he doesn’t seize it

, God cannot tolerate it.

Besides, with Xu Ce here, even if there are ten female bandit leaders, they won’t be a match, so what are you worried about?

"Uncle Ninth, I think Captain Ah Wei is right. Your birthday party needs to be properly organized."

Mao Shanming then said,

"Uncle Ninth, don't worry about the specific matters. Captain Awei and I will make a good plan. Just have a good meal and drink at night."

Seeing this, Xu Ce was happy to see the result. It was time to have a good birthday. The [Yuanyang Pill] he drew last night happened to be given away during the birthday banquet in the evening to give Uncle Jiu a surprise, so he said:

"Master, since Captain Ah Wei and Taoist Master Mao are so interested, don't refuse. It won't cost much anyway. Master doesn't have to worry too much about the female bandit leader since his disciples are here."

Seeing everyone saying this, Uncle Jiu could no longer refuse, so he nodded and said:

"In that case, fine."

For a whole day, Xu Ce, Uncle Jiu and others also went to the yamen gate to check the situation. Nothing unexpected happened.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that everyone returned to the Baohe Inn.

Today's inn directly put up a sign for reservations, and classmate Ah Wei took out his small treasury as a host. Originally, Xu Ce wanted to pay for it himself, but Ah Wei was unwilling to do so. In the end, he had no choice but to think of Ah Wei.

The classmate was actually quite rich, so he followed him.

I have to say that Ah Wei is really thoughtful. The entire Bohe Inn was brightly lit, and seven or eight tables of people were seated. Even Tan Wanwan was called over and given a big gift.

As for the famous squires from Taishan Town, many of them came. Anyway, Xu Ce's name is now more popular in Taishan Town than in Renjia Town.

Each one was given enough face.

"Uncle Jiu, congratulations. It's your birthday today. I wish you a long life."

"Uncle Jiu, happy birthday."

"Uncle Nine..."

There was an endless stream of people congratulating each other, and Uncle Jiu was a little dumbfounded. He was very prestigious in the wedding and wedding circles of Renjia Town, but when had he ever received such treatment as today?

Especially the birthday gifts placed on the table, I almost couldn't put them down.

At the same time, Uncle Jiu also had a lot of emotions in his heart. In just over a month, his treatment had undergone earth-shaking changes. In the past, when he went to these wealthy families to make a living, although they all respected him on the surface, their truest thoughts were

It is best not to deal with Uncle Jiu in this life. People who guard Yizhuang are unlucky.

But at this moment, no matter the faces of these people may still be hypocritical, they still want to get close to them and kneel down and lick them.

All this is due to Xu Ce, because he has accepted a disciple like Xu Ce. As the saying goes, a Taoist mother is valued based on her son, and a master can also be valued based on his disciple.

Uncle Jiu suddenly felt that he might not be able to reach the foundation building stage in his life, but if he could accept Xu Ce as his apprentice, he would have no regrets in this life.
