I Must Think of Something!
[After thinking about it, I realized that writing a summary every two weeks seems too tiring... I'd rather not write a summary and just write more so everyone can read more.]
Sun Moon Sect Clinic...
Jiang Lin was somewhat bewildered when Lianhua expressed her desire to return to the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
I just came out of the Spring Breeze Pavilion Spring Breeze Pavilion and went back in.
Jiang Lin truly hadn't expected Lianhua to be so dedicated.
But upon closer inspection, Lotus was originally a courtesan at the Spring Breeze Pavilion, playing the zither and dancing. She earned her living through her own skills, so what's wrong with that!
It's just a change of scenery for playing the piano and dancing; they didn't steal or rob anyone.
So Jiang Lin agreed to help Lianhua contact Aunt Lin at the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
Everything went smoothly. As a senior and top consultant at the Spring Breeze Pavilion, Jiang Lin had already made arrangements for Lianhua beforehand, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Naturally, Lotus must not know about this.
Doing good deeds anonymously is the way to go, but let's not talk about things like using connections...
However, as it turns out, even if Jiang Lin hadn't established a good relationship with Aunt Lin beforehand, Lianhua would still have been able to get a job at the Spring Breeze Pavilion based on her own talent.
After watching Lianhua's talent audition, Jiang Lin, Jiji Bo, and the others learned that Lotus was not only highly skilled in dancing and playing the guzheng, but also adept at playing the xiao (vertical flute).
Finally, Lotus became a talent show guest at the Spring Breeze Pavilion, playing the zither and dancing every day, enjoying the five social insurances and one housing fund of the Sun Moon Sect Spring Breeze Pavilion, and a monthly salary of ten Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Spring Breeze Pavilion's wages are low, and they often rely on tips. However, Lianhua refuses all tips, probably because she is afraid that Jiang Lin and Jiji Bo will deliberately tip her in the past so that she can pay off her debts directly.
Aunt Lin naturally agreed to Lianhua's request and did not think that Lianhua was being arrogant.
On the contrary, Aunt Lin even rented a small courtyard for Lianhua. The courtyard was very close to the Spring Breeze Pavilion, making it convenient for commuting to and from work, and the monthly rent was only fifty taels.
Including food, drink, and clothing, given the Sun Moon Sect's spending habits, it would probably take Lotus a year to repay Jiang Lin for one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Lotus calculated it over and over again, and when it became clear that it really only took a year, Lotus was somewhat stunned.
One Low-Grade Spirit Stone is worth 100 taels of silver, and one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to 100 Low-Grade Spirit Stone, which is 10,000 taels.
For Lianhua, earning 10,000 taels would take seven or eight years in Donglin City, but in the Sun Moon Sect, it would only take a year.
If it weren't for the fact that the other women around her were earning quite a bit, some even more than she was, Lianhua would have suspected that Jiang Lin had pulled strings again.
This is normal, though; mortals usually use silver, while cultivators usually use spirit stones.
In some legitimate immortal sects, they don't even need silver; it's like earning foreign exchange.
If the Sun Moon Sect weren't so peculiar, essentially a rural-urban fringe area between a cultivation sect and the mortal world, with both cultivators and many ordinary people, they probably wouldn't even know how to use silver.
After about three to five days, in the harmonious atmosphere of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, Lianhua gradually integrated into the simple and honest life of the Sun Moon Sect.
Especially after Wu Die learned that Lianhua was the woman Wu Ke had been searching for, she became even more enthusiastic. She heard that the two of them had rehearsed dancing and playing the flute together and found they had a lot in common.
Now we're just waiting for Wu Ke to come back.
Thinking of Wu Ke, and then of my own complete lack of impure thoughts towards lotus flowers.
Jiang Lin felt that he was truly loyal.
If it were an ordinary person, and a pretty girl threw herself at them like that, they'd probably be too happy to eat dumplings.
But I'm different!
He exemplified the principle of "one should not covet one's friend's wife" to the fullest! He never crossed any lines from beginning to end; he was practically a modern-day Liu Xiahui!
Wu Ke is so lucky to have such a handsome, talented, and loyal friend; he must have saved the Silver River in his past life.
Of course, if Wu Ke really knew that Jiang Lin was thinking that way, then he would truly be saying, "Thank you so much..."
On the morning of the sixth day after returning to the Sun Moon Sect, Jiang Lin woke up to find that the injuries he had sustained in Donglin City had completely healed.
For the past five or six days, Jiang Lin had specially set up a magic array in his room, worried that the plant spirits might attack again before his injuries healed, otherwise his kidneys would never be able to upgrade...
But today, Jiang Lin has changed!
Upon waking up early in the morning, Jiang Lin threw away his thermos and goji berries!
To show his determination, Jiang Lin stood on the edge of Twin Pearl Peak and threw the Nine Flavor Rehmannia Pills given to him by the system directly off the cliff!
Do I still need these things?
Joke!
Starting today! I will reclaim my manly glory!
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Jiang Lin opened his arms and took a deep breath. The morning breeze made Jiang Lin white robe flutter, and his long black hair floated in the wind.
I have to say, if this guy weren't so sleazy, he'd actually be quite handsome...
[Ding... Host's injuries have been detected as fully healed. Host, would you like to upgrade your Indestructible Kidney?]
"Bring it on!"
[Ding... Host's kidneys are upgrading. Host's kidneys are upgrading by 10%... 20%... 10%...]
With his eyes closed, Jiang Lin, standing on the edge of the cliff, felt a warm sensation in his lower back.
Like wearing Warm Pads in winter, or like Master's gentle hands massaging my back...
Huh? Why do I feel like my master is massaging my back? Has my master ever massaged my back?
It seems not...
"Hiss~~~ Woohoo~~~ So good~~~"
Just as Jiang Lin was wondering, a feeling like being electrocuted made Jiang Lin tremble all over!
[Ding... Host's kidney upgrade complete, rewards fully distributed. May the host achieve even greater glory!]
"Little Linlin, are you alright?"
"Daddy?"
The system's voice had just disappeared when, from another small thatched hut, Jiang Yuni, wearing a thin floral pajama, came out carrying Little Niannian, who was also wearing matching mother-daughter pajamas.
Jiang Yuni and Little Niannian looked Mi Hu, their pretty fingers rubbing their eyes at the same time. The mother and daughter's Xiao Xiao appearance made Jiang Lin feel that there was no greater happiness in life than this.
"Sorry, I disturbed your sleep."
Jiang Lin over and ruffled the hair of his master and Little Niannian.
"Master and Niannian, go wash up first. I'll go prepare breakfast. Also, Master, you can't wear such casual clothes; change quickly."
"Hey... what does it matter? Only Little Linlin talks about the Twin Pearl Peak, I only show it to Little Linlin."
Jiang Lin was somewhat amused and exasperated. "That won't do either. I'm a man, after all."
"Hehehe, does that mean Little Linlin has feelings for me?"
"What ideas are you coming up with? Hurry up and change it." Jiang Lin gently tapped his master's head.
"Oh... okay..."
Jiang Yuni pouted and carried the Mi Hu Little Niannian into the little thatched hut.
Hmph! Little Linlin is really something, she clearly implied it herself.
Hmph! This is all Little Linlin's fault for that magic array. We were clearly at home, why did she set up a magic array?
It's made it harder for me to launch night raids.
No!
Looking at the little thatched hut, Jiang Yuni secretly made up his mind!
I must think of a way!
