Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 395: This Kid, When He Puts On An Act, He Really Looks The Part!

Qingfeng pursed his lips, his face full of grievance.

"Last time my hair came loose, I wanted to borrow her jade hairpin for a moment. She absolutely refused and even chewed me out. Said it was a gift from Elder Sun and couldn't be touched."

Mingyue set down her teacup heavily.

"That's a token of faith!"

She glared at Qingfeng, her small face tense.

"That was specially given to Guiding Peak by Elder Sun to thank Master for guidance on alchemy techniques! Bringing it to Pill Cauldron Peak to request medicine can save a lot of tedious formalities."

Mingyue pointed at Qingfeng's hair in exasperation.

"What were you going to use it for? As a hairpin? Do you have any idea that jade hairpin was carved from Extreme Cold Jade Marrow? It's extremely brittle!"

Qingfeng retorted unconvinced.

"Is it wrong for me to tie up my hair? I was just going to borrow it for a bit, it wouldn't get damaged.""And what's your hair worth?" Mingyue struck ruthlessly. "You're jumping around all day long. If it falls and shatters, what are you going to use to pay Pill Cauldron Peak back?"

Qingfeng was choked silent.

He sullenly picked up his cup and downed the remaining half cup of honey water in one gulp.

Su Ming sat nearby, quietly listening to the two bicker.

He didn't interrupt.

This kind of innocent, scheming-free argument was absolutely impossible to see anywhere else.

He looked at the golden ripples gently shimmering in his cup.

He suddenly understood why he had gone to such lengths to establish standards, why he had risked his life to take on the Border Defense True Seal.

Immortality was indeed the ultimate goal.

But if the path to immortality was filled with nothing but deceit and treachery, nothing but blood and storms, then that kind of immortality would be far too lonely.

He wanted to survive. And he wanted to do it with dignity and stability.

He wanted to protect the peace of this Purple Bamboo Sea. To protect these friends who would offer him a bowl of medicinal porridge when he was down on his luck.

The night grew deeper.

The chirping of insects in the Purple Bamboo Sea gradually grew louder.

The coarse clay pot on the stone table was resealed by Mingyue with beeswax and properly stored away in her storage pouch.

The water in the teapot was nearly empty.

Qingfeng and Mingyue both fell silent. They both seemed a bit drowsy. The calming effects contained within the spirit honey began to take hold.
