Three Thousand Sons Under the Cult Leader (5/5)

Zhang Yunji responded and left.

"Ba Jiu, bring three more small stools."

"Zhang Caicai, move a small table."

"Mu Qingyi, serve tea, serve the best tea!"

After giving these instructions, Zhang Yunji led three people into the Bookstore. The one in the lead was Grand Dean Cang Lan, the first person on the continent to enter the Immortal Realm. She was still wearing a purple robe, and her brows were full of mature woman charm. Coupled with her proud figure, she was very attractive.

Walking to the left of Cang Lan was an elderly man with white hair, sunken features, and dressed in gray. He stood straight, like an unyielding sword piercing the Yunxiao.

On the right was a cultivator who looked incredibly young, almost too young to be true, almost as young as Ma Feifei. He was also handsome, only slightly less so than Ma Feifei, which made Ma Feifei a little jealous. However, this person's aura was extremely powerful, definitely indicating that he had reached the Immortal Realm.

"Shopkeeper!" As Ma Feifei observed the three people, they had already arrived in front of Ma Feifei and bowed to Ma Feifei.

"Please, the three of you, have a seat." Ma Feifei rose, nodded in return, and invited the three to sit down.

After some pleasantries and introductions, the four people took their seats.

Ma Feifei wasn't in a hurry. He held his teacup and blew on it. Early spring was still quite cold, so drinking some tea to warm his stomach was a good idea.

Moreover, Zhang Caicai boasted that this tea was picked from a tree called 'Frost' in an extremely cold place, and that it had a whole host of effects, even more amazing than the Enlightenment Tea provided by the system. It's just that I haven't had the chance to try it.

Today, Zhang Caicai finally deigned to display this 'Frost' tea, so Ma Feifei naturally wanted to take a good look at it.

"Shopkeeper, the three of us have come to ask you for a favor." Ma Feifei remained calm, but Cang Lan and the other two couldn't hold back any longer. They put down their teacups and spoke.

"Oh? Is this a big deal? Let's make it clear first, don't mention anything too serious, I can't help with that," Ma Feifei joked, sipping his tea.

Cang Lan smiled upon hearing this and said, "Of course it's a big deal for us, but for you, shop owner... it's a trivial matter."

"Stop flattering me, tell me what you think first," Ma Feifei replied with a smile. He wasn't Flatter by Cang Lan's praise. After all, Cang Lan and the others had already entered the Immortal Realm. For people like them, anything of great importance was definitely difficult to resolve.

"It's like this, nowadays, Venerable Immortal the Azure Dragon Continent, but in fact, none of us have a concept of the realm of the Immortal Realm, so..." Cang Lan stopped there and stared straight at Ma Feifei with her big eyes.

Ma Feifei subtly shifted her gaze, placed her teacup on the table, and asked, "You mean you don't have a concept of the immortal realm, and don't know how to classify the levels? Is that right?"

"The shopkeeper is mistaken. It's not 'you,' it's all of us cultivators who have entered the Immortal Realm." As soon as Ma Feifei finished speaking, Qingcheng Xian chimed in, fanning herself with her folding fan and shaking her head.

Cang Lan frowned, about to speak, but Ma Feifei shook her head, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "If you are us, then why are you asking this shop owner? Aren't I the same as you?"

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng Xian paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "I only heard that the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore was famous throughout the Azure Dragon Continent. Out of curiosity, I came with Immortal Lan to see for myself the legendary owner's charisma. But now that I've seen him, I'm afraid seeing is believing!"

"Qingcheng Xian, please have some self-respect!" Before Ma Feifei could speak, Cang Lan frowned and said sternly.

The Qingcheng Xian didn't take it to heart, and smiled without saying a word while fanning herself.

Ma Feifei sneered inwardly and was about to speak when suddenly there was a knock on the back door.

Zhang Caicai and Ba Jiu had been hiding in the kitchen eavesdropping. When they heard the sound at the back door, they all ran out to open it, Ma Feifei also turned to look at the back door.

The same applies to Cang Lan and the other two.

"Crunch~"

Ba Jiu opened the door.

"Hehe!" A man in a black robe appeared in everyone's sight, rubbing his hands together.

"Greetings, Ninth Young Master!"

"Hello, Master Chef!"

"This must be the legendary Mu Qingyi, right? What a coincidence! I remember holding you when you were little. It's amazing how much you've grown. Come here, let me hug you again and see if you've gained weight."

"Pooh!"

"You old scoundrel Mo Xie! You dare to lay a hand on my apprentice, you culinary master!"

"Exactly! Qingyi is only twenty years old this year. Twenty years ago, you were still imprisoned in the Nine Abyss. Who are you trying to fool?"

"Haha~~! Just kidding, just kidding. Since you're a disciple of the God of Cookery, then I won't take what belongs to you. May I ask if the shop owner is here?"

The lively commotion over there somewhat dispelled the previous atmosphere, drawing everyone's attention to the back door.

The three of them, Cang Lan Mo Xie, had different expressions. Cang Lan was not very happy, after all, Mo Xie and Vast Academy had a feud, it would be strange for enemies to greet each other with smiles.

The Sword Sect Patriarch had no impression of Mo Xie, because he had never interacted with Mo Xie at all; they were not from the same era.

However, when that Qingcheng Xian saw Mo Xie, her eyes twitched unnaturally, and she lowered her eyelids slightly.

"Shopkeeper!" Mo Xie was over there, had obviously also seen Ma Feifei's presence. His face lit up with joy, and he quickly ran over, walked to Ma Feifei's side, and bowed, saying, "Xiao Mo greets the shopkeeper."

Ma Feifei pouted and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, how many times have I told you? Don't act so young. Can't you understand?"

This guy is a monster who's thousands of years old, and he keeps calling me "Xiao Mo Xiao Mo," then bows to me like an elder. What does that mean?

"Hehe!" Mo Xie rubbed his hands together shyly, just about to speak, when his eyes inadvertently swept over Cang Lan and the other two opposite him, finally settling on Qingcheng Xian.

"Ah! Isn't this my son? How did he crawl out of his grave?"

"Mo Xie! How dare you be so insolent! I am Qingcheng Xian, how did I become your son!" Qingcheng Xian, unable to save face, stood up and angrily rebuked Mo Xie.

Mo Xie grinned, looking at Qingcheng Xian, and said with amusement, "Ergouzi, don't think I won't recognize you just because you've changed your appearance. I buried you myself, how could I not know?"

"Mo Xie old scoundrel! You've gone too far!" Qingcheng Xian roared in fury, pointing her folding fan at Mo Xie and shouting angrily.

"Smack~"

Suddenly, a sharp sound rang out, and Mo Xie's large hand slapped Qingcheng Xian across the face. Qingcheng Xian was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

"Ergouzi, you're truly heartless and ungrateful! You don't even recognize your own father anymore. What? Now that you've become an immortal, you've gotten too cocky? You don't even recognize your own Laozi?" After saying that, Mo Xie kicked him, hitting Qingcheng Xian squarely in the stomach and sending him flying.

For some reason, Qingcheng Xian was unable to dodge and took the kick head-on, falling to the ground.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Mo, for being violent in your Bookstore. I'm willing to accept punishment, but this unfilial son has gone too far. I hope you'll forgive Xiao Mo this time, considering how heartbroken I am as a father." After kicking Qingcheng Xian, Mo Xie smiled again and bowed to Ma Feifei in apology.

Ma Feifei was practically clapping his hands in delight; he certainly wouldn't blame Mo Xie. However, Ma Feifei also a little puzzled about the relationship between Mo Xie and Qingcheng Xian, asking, "When did you have a son? And a cultivator who has reached the Immortal Realm?"

Mo Xie fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

Cang Lan, standing to the side, then said sarcastically, "Shopkeeper, you don't know this, but back in the day, Mo Xie had three thousand retainers under his command, and basically every one of them with any ability was adopted by him."

"That amazing? People would be willing to be his son?" Ma Feifei looked at Mo Xie with some surprise.

Mo Xie hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "I'll be willing, and if I'm not, a couple of slaps will do..."
