Qiao Xuan saw that he didn't greet him and just picked up his chopsticks, so he didn't stand on ceremony and started eating. As he chewed on the drumstick, he mumbled,""Even so, you can't make it so spicy! How much did you add to the wine?”
"Those that can't be taken away are added to the wine." Old Yang took a few more sips before he said in a slightly tipsy voice.
Qiao Xuan was stunned when he heard that. Are you leaving?"
Old Yang saw that he had unintentionally said it out loud, so he waved his hand drunkenly and changed his words."I mean, I added all of my wine. Are you a pig's ear?”
At this moment, Qiao Xuan was a little confused and thought that he had heard wrongly. He rubbed the back of his head and smiled."If you're wrong, then you're wrong. Why did you say that I have pig ears? You're always sharp-tongued. The pig's ears are here." Then, he picked up some food for Old Yang.
Old Yang took it and chewed it with relish. After taking a few sips of wine, he said drunkenly,"Kid, you're not bad. You know how to repay kindness.”
"I've been following you for two years," Qiao Xuan said with a smile.”
"Kid, you've learned how to insult others, but I really treat you as a junior.”Old Yang said with some clarity.
Qiao Xuan understood and said emotionally,""I know. If only my parents were still alive, you would have known each other.”
"Don't think about the past anymore. Think about tomorrow! You and Niu Meng shouldn't be slaves anymore.”Although Old Yang was drunk, he sounded sincere.
Qiao Xuan braced himself and took a few more sips before saying with a flushed face,""I've long since stopped wanting to be a slave. Isn't there still a year before the term ends? Now that I've bought you wine with money, even if you allow me to redeem myself, I don't have any money now.”
Old Yang chuckled and took out something drunkenly. Then, he threw it on the table with a clang, almost spilling the wine.
Although Qiao Xuan was a little drunk, he still hurriedly took a closer look.
It turned out to be a bulging money bag that seemed to contain a lot of money. Qiao Xuan hurriedly got up and said incoherently,""That's not what I meant. I don't want money for the wine.”
"Shut up and sit down!" Old Yang berated roughly.
Qiao Xuan was a little speechless. He hurriedly shut his mouth and sat down, trying to see what Old Yang meant.
"This is the money for you and Niu Meng to redeem your freedom. Tomorrow, go to the Deed Manager's Office and say that Old Yang wants you and Niu Meng to redeem your freedom. Niu Meng's old mother has passed away, and now he's all alone. The remaining money will be used as travel expenses.”
Old Yang hid the reluctance in his eyes and began to slowly sip the wine in his glass.
Qiao Xuan's face was clouded with worry as he stammered,""Are you ignoring us? Or do you want to throw us away as burdens?”
Old Yang suddenly raised his head and poured himself a mouthful of wine. Then, he said,"That's right. You two are burdens now. You're not even qualified to run errands for me. Don't pretend to be pitiful and complain. I've already made arrangements for you two.”
Qiao Xuan knew that he had a stubborn temper, so he no longer tried to change the subject. Instead, he smiled and said,""Since that's the case, can you point out a clear path? Where should I go to find a master? Why don't you recommend Niu Meng and me to become the Pope of the Heavenly Pillar Sect!”
Old Yang, who was drinking wine, suddenly spilled some wine when he heard Qiao Xuan's words. Then, he asked with a solemn face,"How do you know about the Heavenly Pillar Sect's Pope?”
"I heard it from the old beggar of the Beggar God Association two years ago.”Qiao Xuan replied with a drunken smile.
Old Yang nodded and drank a few more glasses before saying,"I admit that you have some talent in martial arts. If it weren't for the huge loss in your qi and blood, you might have already succeeded in blood refinement. However, you still can't compare to the disciple of the Heavenly Pillar Sect's Pope.”
Qiao Xuan was really shocked. He immediately put down his chopsticks and shook his head.""Sigh! Why is it so difficult to get some benefits? I've been humiliated by you again. Could it be that I'm really inferior to those disciples?”
Old Yang smiled evilly and glanced at him. Qiao Xuan immediately understood what he meant, indicating that he was asking for humiliation.
Qiao Xuan was drunk at the moment, so he couldn't be bothered with his disdain. Just as he was about to speak, he felt Old Yang's head rush over.
Old Yang immediately cupped Qiao Xuan's face, scaring him so much that he did not dare to move at all. In his heart, he said," What kind of drunkenness is this?"
Old Yang's eyes were red, but deep in his eyes, there was kindness. He muttered to himself,"Come, come! Let me…let me take a good look.”
His blurry voice was mixed with bits of sorrow.
Qiao Xuan noticed that he was about to cry and quickly said,""You were the one who suggested the separation. Why are you still so sad? Don't cry, don't cry!"
Old Yang realized that he had lost his composure and quickly pushed away Qiao Xuan's face, pretending that he could not hold his liquor. He fell headfirst onto the table, ignoring the food and wine that had been poured, and shouted,""Get lost!"
Qiao Xuan was a little worried." Do you want me to help you rest?" he asked.”
In the end, Old Yang kept shouting " get lost ". Qiao Xuan could only wrap the money bag around his waist and walk out of the north gate of the Martial Emperor's Estate in a daze, heading towards the slums.
The next day, the sun shone through the window and hit her face warmly.
Qiao Xuan suddenly sat up, thinking to himself,'Oh no, this wine is really not a good thing. I won't dare to drink it again.' He hurriedly washed up and tidied up, locked the door in a panic, and ran out of the residence in big strides.
This time, Qiao Xuan quickly ran into the Martial Emperor Zhao's Mansion and saw Niu Meng from afar. He was leaning against the wall in boredom and was even turning his head to look around. Qiao Xuan hurriedly ran over.
Seeing that he had finally arrived, Niu Meng lazily crossed his arms and stood still. He frowned and asked,"Xuan 'zi, why are you so late? Did he go to spy on his wife last night?”
He suddenly smelled the residual alcohol on Qiao Xuan and couldn't help but shout,""Let's go drink! You didn't even call me when there was such a good thing. You're really not a brother!”
Qiao Xuan hurriedly shushed her before saying in a low voice,""Don't shout yet. Quickly listen. Who is cursing in this martial arts practice field?”
"Who cares who it is, as long as it's not us." Niu Meng said lazily.”
"Did Uncle Yang enter the Martial Arts Practice Field?”Qiao Xuan asked in a low voice. Seeing Niu Meng nod, he said mysteriously,""You stay here and keep an eye on it. There's really something good waiting for you. I'll be right back.”Then, she quickly ran away.
Before Niu Meng could agree, he saw Qiao Xuan run away again. He gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice,""It better be something good. Otherwise, you'll have to do the rest.”Then, he leaned lazily against the wall.
Suddenly, a person walked out from the martial arts field. Niu Meng glanced at him and saw that it was Old Yang. He quickly stood up straight.
Old Yang had just walked out of the martial arts field when he sensed that someone was watching him from the dark. It seemed that his benefactor had indeed betrayed him.
Then, he pretended to be fierce and shouted,"Niu Meng, where's Qiao Xuan? I hate people who don't follow the rules the most. If he hasn't come by now, he can forget about working in the Martial Emperor Zhao's Mansion.”
At this moment, Old Yang's expression was extremely ferocious, scaring Niu Meng so much that he was as quiet as a cicada in winter. He did not dare to speak up for Qiao Xuan and could only lower his head and watch secretly.
Old Yang pretended to fly into a rage. As he thought about how to escape, he recalled that twelve years ago, he was injured and poisoned, and he ended up here blindly.
Later on, by chance, he was saved by Steward Qin and entered the Martial Emperor Zhao's Mansion. With his acupuncture and massage skills, he was recommended by Steward Qin to take on the job at the Martial Arts Practice Field.
Since the blood poison had been neutralized last month, Old Yang had secretly arranged for him to leave. Once he left, he would never return. However, he had to repay the favor of saving his life before he left. Otherwise, even if he left, he would feel uneasy.
Thus, a few days ago, he had secretly paid a visit to Old Steward Qin and asked him if he had any difficulties. Who knew that he would ask him to treat his grandson.
The grandson of Old Steward Qin had outstanding talent in martial arts, which was why he was taught the Pure Yuan Blood Refinement Art by the Martial Emperor's Estate. Who knew that he would make a mistake during the teaching? Not only was his cultivation crippled, but he was also crippled. He had been lying in bed for more than three years now.
Old Yang had no choice but to perform acupuncture again. After the acupuncture was done, he frowned and remained silent.
Old Steward Qin immediately seized the opportunity and swore to Old Yang to save his grandson.
Old Yang was a person who would definitely take revenge, so he wanted to take the opportunity to return the favor of saving his life.
However, Old Yang was also muttering to himself at that time, wondering if Old Steward Qin would see through him. If he really did, and then betrayed him, what should he do? He was about to leave, so he had to repay this favor.
Forget it! I will cure his grandson. If he is really betrayed, I will come back and kill him. A person must distinguish between gratitude and hatred. Then, Old Yang will start to treat him.
Hence, Old Yang generously invested in the matter of Qiao Xuan and his brother's freedom. After Old Yang cured that brat, he secretly found people to secretly monitor Old Steward Qin's family.
Who would have thought that when he was giving acupuncture massages to the disciples in the martial arts field this morning, he would hear them discussing that old servant Qin and saying in a hubbub,"I didn't expect his crippled grandson to actually recover. Early this morning, those two came to see Third Prince."
When Old Yang heard this, his five fingers suddenly trembled slightly. He pinched the disciple until it hurt, and he immediately received a scolding.
Old Yang pretended to be frightened and repeatedly bowed to apologize. He pretended to be terrified and retreated, but immediately realized that he was being watched. At this time, Qiao Xuan had not arrived, so he was anxious to escape.
Beside him, Niu Meng was also muttering. He really wanted to tell Old Yang that Qiao Xuan had just arrived and ran away. However, seeing Old Yang's extreme anger, Niu Meng did not dare to open his mouth at all. He only hoped that Qiao Xuan would not come back.
At this moment, the sunlight in the sky was warm, but it could not calm Niu Meng's uneasy heart. He kept feeling that something was going to happen.
Today was really strange. Niu Meng could not help but let his imagination run wild. After another half a day, he saw Qiao Xuan running over from the south in high spirits. Niu Meng thought of Old Yang and was about to fly into a rage. He could not help but lower his brows.
When Old Yang saw that Qiao Xuan was coming from the south, he knew that this kid must have redeemed his indwelling contract. He immediately had an idea. His anger suddenly dissipated, and his face was like a spring breeze as he welcomed him.
This made Niu Meng extremely surprised. He did not know why he was panicking.
Qiao Xuan saw Old Yang coming up to him and quickly stopped in his tracks. Just as he was about to speak, Old Yang asked,""What's in your waist pocket? Take it out and take a look."
Qiao Xuan was stunned and thought, Don't you know what it is? You gave this to me last night. It's broken! Could it be that he was drunk last night and didn't admit it today?”
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Old Yang's figure flash and suddenly appear in front of him. The money bag in his waist pocket was instantly pulled out, and the four short needles that Old Yang had given him were also secretly taken away.
Qiao Xuan didn't know what he was going to do, but he was scared into taking a few steps back.
At this moment, Old Yang laughed coldly and shouted,""It really is you. How dare you steal my money!”
Then, he stepped forward and struck his palm on Qiao Xuan's heart.
