Returning to the Clan
[Option 1: Enter the mansion. Completion reward: Flying Snow Secret Array Map (earth-level mid-grade)]
[Option 2: Turn around and leave. Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
'Um?'
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to open the door and enter the mansion, two system options popped up.
'what's the situation?'
Jiang Beiran paused while pushing the door open, thinking that Lin Yuyan should be the only one in the mansion now.
Look at Xia Lingdang next to you.
Jiang Beiran suddenly understood.
'Tsk, it seems that if you really want to take Lin Yuyan under your command, you still have to train her better.'
Choosing second, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang and walked outside.
[Optional mission completed, reward: Divination Formation +1]
Jiang Beiran originally returned to the mansion with the intention of setting up the self-border first, and then proceed with the next step. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and setting up the self-border in the six countries was not a priority, so he skipped it.
He found a private room in a restaurant and sat down. Jiang Beiran took out a piece of talisman paper and wrote a few lines on it, then folded it into a paper box and put it out of the window.
"Guluulu..."
At this time, Jiang Beiran suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound from his stomach. Looking back, Xia Lingdang had already lowered her head shyly.
Sitting back at the dining table, Jiang Beiran greeted Xia Lingdang and said, "Sit down. Eat quickly if you are hungry. It will cool down later."
"Gudu..." After swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, Xia Lingdang shook her head and said: "No... no, master, you can eat first, I... I just have a cake to eat."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran glanced at Xia Lingdang's patched linen clothes, shook his head and sighed: "I told you, there are not so many rules as a servant here, so sit down quickly."
But Xia Lingdang still shook her head.
"No, I know my master is a very good person, but since I am a servant, I must abide by the rules."
Jiang Beiran couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
He poured himself a glass of wine and asked, "What do you think the rules are for being a servant?"
"My mother told me that the girls from the landlord's family can never go to the table to eat. They can only stand aside and wait..."
Speaking of this, Xia Lingdang slapped her hand fiercely and said: "Look at how good I am, how can I let you, the master, pour the wine yourself? I'll pour it for you, I'll pour it for you."
Xia Lingdang said and stepped forward to pick up the wine bottle.
Feeling the simple aura coming from Xia Lingdang, Jiang Beiran still found it difficult to associate her with a heaven-level option.
'It's really outrageous...'
"Guluuluulu..."
While Jiang Beiran was thinking, another "roaring" sound came. Jiang Beiran looked at Xia Lingdang with a smile and said, "Sit down."
This time, without waiting for Xia Lingdang to refuse, Jiang Beiran continued: "Then, has your mother ever taught you that a girl should listen to her master at all times?"
"this……"
"Okay, don't do this or that. This is my order. Sit down quickly and fill your stomach."
"Yes Yes!"
After Xia Lingdang finished speaking, she sat on the chair and picked up the bowl.
Just looking at the delicious food on the table, Xia Lingdang became panicked and didn't know where to put her hands.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran picked up a piece of poached tenderloin and put it in Xia Lingdang's bowl, "Eat."
"Thank you, master."
Xia Lingdang nodded sharply, picked up the bowl and devoured it.
It's just that every bite she takes is rice, but the ridge is not touched at all.
Jiang Beiran just smiled after reading it and didn't say anything else. Anyway, as long as she could fill her stomach, it would be fine. As for whether she eats vegetables or not, she would change it slowly in the future.
But I have to say that Xia Lingdang still has a strong sense of servanthood. Although she is immersed in eating, as soon as she sees Jiang Beiran's wine glass is empty, she will immediately stand up and fill it up for Jiang Beiran, and then continue to sit back to eat.
The dishes on the last table were not touched much, and the bucket of rice that was ordered was eaten by Xia Lingdang. Even when she took the last bite, the piece of tenderloin that Jiang Beiran gave her was still intact.
'With this appetite...he is indeed a gifted person.'
Seeing Xia Lingdang's visibly bulging belly, Jiang Beiran wanted to laugh, but he didn't.
There are thousands of poor people like Xia Lingdang in this world. They have no human rights, no human happiness, and no human dignity.
And this has nothing to do with whether the country they live in is prosperous or declining.
It perfectly explains what is meant by "prosperity, people suffer, death, people suffer."
As if feeling Jiang Beiran's gaze, Xia Lingdang raised her head and glanced at him, and said with some embarrassment: "Is it because I eat too much... In fact, I usually don't eat so much, as long as..."
"Don't worry, as the host, it's okay to keep you full. Just keep eating. When you're full, I'll bring you two new clothes."
"Ah!?" Xia Lingdang shook her head quickly, stood up and pulled the hem of her clothes and said, "I can still wear these clothes, I don't need new clothes."
But this time, Jiang Beiran just looked at her quietly.
After just looking at each other for a second, Xia Lingdang gave up and sat back down and said, "My master has the final say. I will wear new clothes. I will wear new clothes."
Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Beiran was just about to drink when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Jiang Beiran put down his wine glass and said.
"Xiao~Bei...eh!?"
The moment she opened the door, Shi Fenglan wanted to pounce directly on Xiao Beiran, but she found a swarthy girl sitting on the table.
I was stunned there for a while.
The moment Xia Lingdang saw Shi Fenglan, she stood up suddenly, wiped the rice from her mouth and stood behind Jiang Beiran.
After looking at Xia Lingdang for a while, Shi Fenglan looked at Jiang Beiran and asked curiously: "Xiao Beiran, who is she?"
"The maid I bought."
"Ah?" Shi Fenglan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Lingdang, smiled and waved, "Hello."
Xia Lingdang was obviously stunned after hearing this.
Because she was ugly, everyone would look at her strangely when they saw her for the first time, even if they didn't laugh at her.
Until the master appeared, he not only saved her, but also showed no sign of disdain for her in his eyes.
Xia Lingdang originally thought that only her master could be so different in the world, but she didn't expect to meet a second person who didn't look at her strangely at all so soon.
"Hello... hello." Xia Lingdang looked at Shi Fenglan and said hello.
Seeing that the two of them had finished greeting each other, Jiang Beiran looked at Xia Lingdang and said, "Continue to sit down and eat."
"I...I'm full."
"Okay, then just stand and eat." After speaking, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Fenglan again, "Why are you here so fast?"
"I have already prepared the things I need to prepare when I go back, so I will come as soon as I receive your letter, Xiao Beiran."
"Okay, then I'll go to the street to buy some clothes for Lingdang, and you can sit here for a while."
"I want to go too!" Shi Fenglan immediately stood up and said.
"Fine."
After settling the bill, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang and Shi Fenglan to the street. They randomly found a cloth shop and bought some clothes for Xia Lingdang, and then the three of them got into Shi Fenglan's Fei Mansion together.
Unlike the flying shuttle and Xiangyun, which require cultivation to ride, ordinary people in Feifu can also ride on it. This is the reason why Jiang Beiran summoned Shi Fenglan. Otherwise, who would have known that Xia Lingdang could be brought back to Sheng Kingdom in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Feifu is still so safe and secure. I sat in it all the way back to Shengguo Jiangbei without seeing an option.
Although it is comfortable, it is also a bit regretful.
Because recently he discovered that the new batch of attribute points have gradually begun to play a role.
This was much earlier than he expected.
He originally thought that he would have to wait at least a few more years, but it seems that this batch of brand-new attributes and skill points do not need to be accumulated to a few hundred points to play an obvious role like before. Only a few dozen points have already made Jiangbei
Then I felt the changes in myself.
For example, last time using the [Perception] button, Jiang Beiran easily discovered Shi Fenglan, who was wearing a naked dress.
Also, recently when he was setting up a self-border, he found that he often had flashes of inspiration in his mind, thus creating more mysterious formations.
This is most likely due to the skill point of [Divination Formation] coming into play.
So after seeing that these new points have begun to play a role, Jiang Beiran is still very motivated to use them.
It's just that he still has business to do now, so it's not too late to talk about some brushing up later.
While staying in Fei Mansion, Xia Lingdang became obviously more reserved. She did not dare to sit on the bench that Shi Fenglan invited her to sit on, for fear that she would dirty it by sitting on it.
To be continued...
