76、Recalling old times

  A voice came from outside, and then the door that connected to the small shop was opened. Someone said tiredly: "Wife, why is the door closed?"

  Husband, I...

  She hadn't had time to say anything, when the monk stepped into the main room, saw Mo Tian Ge, and his expression changed. His gaze shifted back and forth between the two women, a look of annoyance rising on his face, but he restrained himself due to her cultivation.

  Mo Tian Ge knew he was thinking crookedly, but Tian Qiao had already said: "Husband, do you still remember me telling you that I have a younger sister who is also a cultivator?"

  The monk was taken aback, his face puzzled, and then he heard Tian Qiao say: "What a coincidence! Our Kunwu is so big, yet we actually ran into each other!"

  The implication is already very clear, and the suspicious gaze falls on Mo Tian Ge: "Are you saying..."

  Mo Tian pulled on Tian Ge's hand and smiled: "This is that sister of mine."

  "Sister?" He looked at the cultivator in front of him who had refined his Qi to the tenth level and didn't look like a woman at all...

  Mo Tian Ge saw the situation and was the first to raise his hand in greeting: "I am Mo Tian Ge."

  He hastily returned a courtesy, but his eyes still looked suspicious.

  Tian Qiao saw this and explained: "Master, Tian Ge just dressed up as a man for convenience."

  "Oh, I see...". He reacted and looked at Mo Tian Ge again. This person had already floated a smile on his face. "I was rude just now, please don't mind me, I am Meng Si Gui, the husband of Tian Qiao."

  Meng Si Gui, what a elegant name. Mo Tian Ge smiled faintly: "I suppose I arrived too suddenly."

  Watching them get along so well, Tian Tian put her mind at ease and said: "Husband, you stay and chat with Tian Ge for a bit, I'll go cook two small dishes."

  Meng Si Gui nodded: "Hmm, don't worry."

  Tian Qiao said to Tian Ge, "I know you cultivators don't like to be tainted by worldly affairs, but I suppose it's been a long time since you've had a taste of your hometown dishes. Today, let's have a meal together."

  "Of course, I've been thinking about it too."

  Tian Qiao smiled: "That's good, you go talk to your brother-in-law first, I'll be right back."

  "Good."

  Tian Qiao left the kitchen, and only two people were left in the main room. Meng Si Gui invited: "Mo Dao friend, please sit down." He didn't dare to call her name directly because Mo Tian Ge's cultivation was much higher than his, and he felt a pressure in front of her.

  The two sat down as host and guest, and Mochen Song smiled slightly and said: "Since Brother-in-law is married to Tianqiao, then we are family, no need to call each other fellow Taoists, just call me by my name." Although she still didn't trust this Meng Sihui, considering Tianqiao's feelings, she was willing to get closer.

  This sentence made Meng Si let out a sigh of relief. The difference between the fifth and tenth layers of Qi refinement was too great, and although he was nominally Tian Ge's brother-in-law, he had some concerns in his heart, as she didn't take him seriously at all. With this sentence, he knew how to behave, at least in his heart. Moreover, his mind became more active, Tian Qiao's younger sister was already refining Qi at the tenth layer at a young age, wasn't there something backing her? If so, if he could get her support...

  Meng Si Gui smiled and said: "Since that's the case, I won't be polite." He paused for a moment, then asked, "Just now there was no chance to ask, Tian Ge, how did you two recognize each other?"

  Mo Tian Ge said, "Yesterday when I came to your store, I had some doubts, but I didn't dare to confirm. Today, I couldn't help but come again, and as a result of asking, it turned out to be true - it's hard for me to believe myself, that such a big Kun Wu would actually let us encounter each other."

  "Yesterday?" Meng Si Gui paused, a look of surprise on his face, "So you're the one from yesterday..." The past two days had been busy with many customers in the store, and Meng Tian Ge was disguised yesterday, so he hadn't thought of it at first.

  Mo Tian Ge smiled and nodded: "That's me."

  Meng Si Gui shook his head and said: "I really didn't see it."

  "If my brother-in-law had seen through it, I would have cried. This disguise as a man was also done with great effort. When going out, men's clothing is more convenient."

  "This is indeed." Meng Si Gui nodded, "The human heart is treacherous and should be guarded against. Usually Tian Qiao stays behind to watch the shop, if it weren't for this city's strict management, I wouldn't feel at ease either."

  It seems that he has some genuine feelings for Tianqiao, but it's unclear whether he's telling the truth or not. Mo Tiangei's expression sank slightly, and then she smiled: "Brother-in-law, according to Tianqiao, is opening this store still your family's traditional craftsmanship?"

  Meng Si Gui smiled and waved his hand: "Just making a living." He also sighed, "I don't have any other skills, my qualifications are not good, I don't have family support, the cultivation journey is difficult, can only let Tian Qiao follow me through such hard days, really sorry to her."

  "Brother-in-law, why be disheartened? You're still young, there's still hope."

  Meng Si Gui said, "I do have a plan in mind. The small shop's profits are meager, and I don't even get a day off. I neither have the time nor enough spirit stones. Compared to Tian Ge, I am truly ashamed."

  Moy Tian Ge smiled faintly: "It's also luck, actually my talent is extremely poor."

  "Oh?" Meng Si Gui was surprised. "Tian Ge, you're still young and have already refined your Qi to the 10th level, with building your foundation in sight, how could..."

  "I have a five-element spiritual root constitution, can my brother-in-law be trusted? It's just some fate. As for building the foundation, to be honest, I don't hold out much hope..."

  When Tian Qiao returned, he saw the scene of two people chatting happily. As they were all cultivators, they naturally talked about cultivation. Meng Si Gui had some questions about his cultivation that he was unsure about, so he asked for discussion. Mo Tian Ge saw that he spoke reasonably and patiently shared some experiences with him. This Meng Si Gui's understanding was not bad, he wasn't a foolish person, it seemed that he was also burdened by the spiritual root.

  Tian Qiao carried a plate of dishes back to the main house and placed a small bowl of noodles in front of Mo Tian Ge. Mo Tian Ge was taken aback, and after a long time, she let out a sigh, her eyes filled with nostalgia: "Noodles..." She remembered how when they were young, every time they went out, they would always want to eat a bowl of noodles at the small food stalls in town, but one bowl was never enough, yet they didn't dare to eat a second bowl in order to save their appetite...

  He smiled at her with a hint of mischief in his eyes: "I've spent a long time learning this, try some."

  She took a bite and nodded: "It's delicious, just like before." In fact, she had long forgotten what the flavor of ròu miàn was like in the past. The days spent in Mojia Village were already too distant, so distant that she had even forgotten to recall them, and gradually some things were no longer remembered. But that feeling, she never forgot, Tianqiao, who gave her true affection on her lonely and helpless days, was remembered for a lifetime.

  After finishing this meal, they chatted for a while before Mo Tian Ge stood up and bid farewell.

  "Since you're just passing by, why don't you stay here with me?"

  Mo Tian Ge smiled and shook his head: "There's no room for you here, I won't add to your chaos. Why don't you take a break and go chat with the guests instead?"

  Tian Qiao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "This is also good, Master will understand."

  As he was about to leave, Mo Tian Ge took out a jade bottle from his Qian Kun bag: "This bottle of Dan Yao is no longer needed by me now, so I'll give it to you."

  Tian Qiao hesitated for a moment before firmly pushing back: "What do you take me for? We're sisters who met in a foreign land, we should naturally gather together, what's with all the formalities?"

  Meng Tian smiled and said, "Go back and ask your husband, I've already completed my Qi refinement, these elixirs are useless to me now. I'm just getting rid of them so they don't take up space, if you don't want them, I'll still sell them, why should someone else get a good deal? Besides, it's just one bottle of elixir, you're being too polite, what do you think I am?"

  "This..."

  "Take it, and let me fulfill a sisterly affection."

  Tian Qiao was finally moved, and reluctantly said: "Alright, I have nothing to say against you."

  "Go ahead and leave first. There's only one inn in this town, you can find me there. By the way, my current name is Ye Xiaotian."

  Thank you for the reward of 5,000 yuan from Lidian and Shangxia.
