Chapter 165 Colorful Lantern Festival and Happy Food in Commercial Street (1)
Before Yun Bai and his five companions left, the three leaders of the King Kong Gang led their gang members to see them off. Many family members of the King Kong Gang came to see them off voluntarily after learning that the five of them had helped a lot in this competition. Almost no one came empty-handed, and they all brought some homemade food, snacks, or fruit wine. Some knew that Yun Bai and his companions liked the lanterns here, so they even made a few lanterns overnight for them. Although the items were not worth a few spirit coins, the heavy thought touched Yun Bai and his five companions very much, especially Yun Bai. She was always sentimental and almost burst into tears.
The three leaders of the King Kong Gang also prepared gifts for the five people. Since they were determined not to accept the rewards from the conference, they should be able to accept the local specialties, right? So, the three of them waved their hands, and more than a dozen strong young men carried six large boxes and placed them in front of Yun Bai and the others. When they opened them, they saw that they were all local special snacks and mountain products. These were Yun Bai and Xiao Hua’s favorites. The two of them were not pretentious. After sincerely thanking them, they packed up all the gifts and took them away.
Everyone accompanied the five people to the entrance of the Land of Chaos before bidding them farewell. Before leaving, Zhang Xiaodi and Zhaodi told them several times to come back and play when they have time, and that they are always welcome here. Then they left reluctantly.
On the way, Yun Bai was still immersed in the emotion of parting with the King Kong Gang, so she looked very listless. It was only when Zhao Hongshan and Mu Yun understood her and mentioned to her about going back to make lanterns that she became happy again.
After the five returned, they first went to Cangyu to report to Yuanye and their teacher, and then temporarily separated to deal with their own affairs. Xiaohua went to find her grandfather and brought him a lot of snacks that he liked, while Yunbai returned to Xingfu Courtyard to find Old Man Long and put all her gifts in front of him. The old man was so happy to see so many fun and delicious things that he couldn't close his mouth and praised Yunbai "this girl has a conscience".
Having just returned, Yun Bai was not in a hurry to leave, so he sat next to Long Qingtian and told him about his interesting experiences during this period. Old man Long held a pheasant leg in his left hand and a crystal pear in his right hand. He would occasionally gulp down the spiritual fruit cocktail that Yun Bai had brewed for him. With his eyes narrowed, he listened to Yun Bai telling him stories in a vivid and colorful way. This scene was like a grandfather and grandson chatting in the countryside, so peaceful and beautiful.
"I see you look better again!" Fearing that Yun Bai was tired from talking, Old Man Long gave her a bunch of agate grapes to quench her thirst. Yun Bai looked at him and said with a smile. As a result, this question seemed to have touched Old Man Long's itch, and he said to Yun Bai with a smug look on his face:
"Hehe, you are still a good girl! Let me tell you, my cultivation has advanced! Hahaha, it has been more than seven hundred years, and now I finally have a breakthrough!"
"That's great! This is worth celebrating! I'll ask my senior brother to prepare a table of delicious dishes for you, and we'll have a drink with you in the evening!" Yun Bai was happy for Old Man Long from the bottom of her heart, and there was no need to "wait a moment". She immediately sent a voice message to Zhao Hongshan, saying that she and Grandpa Long wanted to eat the delicious food made by her senior brother, and asked if they could prepare a table in the evening? Zhao Hongshan agreed happily on the spot without even thinking about it, and said that it must be arranged immediately! After hearing this, the two were naturally happy and warm. Then, Yun Bai sent a message to Xiaohua and Mu Yun, inviting them to come to the compound for a small gathering in the evening. The two also replied immediately - they would definitely arrive on time.
Dinner is so fun. In this way, all the friends who want to eat and chat with you are all together. Then we can look forward to a wonderful party together. Maybe it is because of the unfathomable strength of Old Man Long that Yuan Ye and Hua Zhenbang always keep a distance from him. Even though Old Man Long gives face to the two of them because of the relationship between Yun Bai and Xiao Hua, they are still not very close. On the contrary, Old Man Long likes Zhao Hongshan, Xiao Hua and Mu Yun very much. This is not only because of Yun Bai's favor, but also because the three of them really have a good impression on Old Man Long.
Long Qingtian once told Yun Bai that Zhao Hongshan's talent in cultivation was average, but he had the potential to develop in the spiritual kitchen. He was simple and down-to-earth by nature, and was a reliable friend. Xiaohua was even more so. This girl was talented and had a high passion for cultivation. She was straightforward, but very smart. What was valuable was that she treated Yun Bai sincerely, so Yun Bai had to cherish her more. As for Mu Yun, Old Man Long praised him very much, saying that he was a top genius in both cultivation and alchemy. If Yun Bai had not been blessed by fate, possessed the Great Universe Spiritual Domain and possessed the spiritual plant system, he might have been left behind by Mu Yun a long time ago. The most precious thing was that he did not have the problems of a rich man's son, and he was sincere to Yun Bai. Yun Bai could consider it in the future... As for what to consider, Old Man Long smiled slyly, but did not say it.
They were originally four friends, and later they joined Wang Xiaoqiang because they had to carry out the compulsory tasks assigned by the World Alliance. However, although Wang Xiaoqiang is not a bad person and is reliable, it is difficult to make friends with him, and he always keeps a distance from others. In this regard, Yun Bai and others maintained a natural attitude and let time take its course. As for whether Xiaoqiang can really integrate into the team in the end, it depends on whether everyone has this fate. It is for this reason that Yun Bai has never brought Wang Xiaoqiang to the Happy Courtyard, and has not taken the initiative to tell him about the commercial street.
The weather was fine and the sun was gentle. Although it was winter, it didn't feel cold at all. So Yun Bai stayed outside with Old Man Long to bask in the sun for a while longer. During this time, Old Man Long said that the reason why his strength had made a breakthrough was, on the one hand, the accumulation of hundreds of years, and on the other hand, during this period of time, the World Alliance restored the evil alienated areas everywhere and eradicated or cured the evil alienated spirits in them - helping the world to heal was actually equivalent to helping him heal. He also cooperated secretly to heal the pathological world origins in those areas. With the efforts of both sides, some of the "hidden diseases" in his body were partially eradicated, and he was able to finally achieve a breakthrough.
"So, this matter is all thanks to you. It was you who discovered that good idea that helped this world and me solve the most difficult problem!" Old Man Long said with emotion.
"Hehe, I just stumbled upon it by accident. It was you and the seniors who really contributed. Moreover, the World Alliance gave me a valuable treasure as a reward! As for the good treasures you usually 'lost', they are even more numerous!" Yun Bai said with a smile. She also sincerely didn't want to take credit for it. As she was talking, Yun Bai's communication talisman suddenly sounded, and after the spiritual power was activated, she heard the excited voice of Teacher Lu Bao:
"Xiaobai, I saw the lanterns you brought back from the King Kong Gang. You know what, their designs are really ingenious! They gave me a lot of inspiration! I heard from Hongshan that you are also planning to hold a lantern festival? Can you bring me along? Let all my hundreds of students participate! Oh my, I can't wait!"
Before Yun Bai could answer, Lu Bao's happy voice came again: "Let's decorate the Cang Yu Grocery Store. Then, our business will surely be more prosperous! What a good idea. Let's meet later that night to discuss it in detail!" From beginning to end, Yun Bai only had time to say "yes" and Lu Bao was in a hurry to make lanterns. It was not until the communication was disconnected that Yun Bai vaguely realized that she had agreed to Lu Bao's proposal to place the lanterns in the Cang Yu Grocery Store on the commercial street. At this point, she suddenly had a new idea - since it was going to be placed on the commercial street, why not invite all the shops to participate?
