The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 67 Ninety-eight Brothers Return to Heaven
Why are people trying to steal her master's business these days?

No wonder her master’s popularity in the mortal world is not satisfactory.

……

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother planned to hold a small "family banquet" before the "Peach Festival" began.

Seven princesses, seven fairy sons-in-law and several fairy grandchildren rushed to [Yao Chi] together, where a banquet had been prepared for them.

The God of Cookery is very good. While others take their children to play, he takes Xiaomei to cook and prepare delicious dishes for the "family banquet".

The seven princesses were going to attend their "family dinner", but Xia Yu was unable to go with them, so he went straight back to the [Marriage Palace].

The annual "Peach Festival" was approaching, and Xia Yu's ninety-eight senior brothers had returned to heaven one after another. It was a good opportunity for her to go back and have a good reunion with them.

As soon as Xia Yu entered the yard, she found that all the senior brothers were reporting their respective situations to the master. She did not interrupt, but stood aside and listened quietly.

"Little junior sister..."

Senior Brother Bai Yu had already finished reporting his work. When he saw Xia Yu coming back, he waved at her and said, "Junior Sister, come here quickly."

Xia Yu walked behind the brothers, moving very lightly, for fear of disturbing them.

These ninety-eight brothers live in the mortal world and will not return to heaven unless it is an "urgent matter" or a "major matter".

Bai Yu loved his little junior sister very much. Every time he came back, he would bring some earthly delicacies and interesting gadgets to Xia Yu.

"Big Brother." Xia Yu called politely.

We meet twice a year. How long is a year in heaven in the mortal world?

Bai Yu looked at Xia Yu closely and found that she was much more beautiful than last year. The call of "Senior Brother" made him feel warm inside.

"Guess what good stuff Senior Brother brought you!" Bai Yu deliberately kept the secret, hid his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "If you guess it right, Senior Brother will bring you something next time."

In previous years, I brought back food, but this year...

That means another hundred years have passed in the mortal world.

Xia Yu guessed in her heart that Bai Yu probably didn't know that she had been to the mortal world, and that what he brought back to her should be the most popular things in the mortal world.

Could it be... a cell phone?
"Big Brother... did you bring me a cell phone?" Xia Yu asked while sneaking a peek at what Bai Yu was hiding behind his back.

Bai Yu's eyes widened, and he silently took out a mobile phone box in his hand, and asked in surprise: "Junior sister, you never leave the house, how do you know about this thing called a 'mobile phone'?"

"Um... before... I secretly went down to the mortal world once, and it seems that mortals all use it to contact their family and friends."

"So do you have a mobile phone?" Bai Yu held a box in one hand, which contained a mobile phone, a power bank, a data cable, and headphones...

"I don't mind having one more!"

Although Xia Yu already had a mobile phone of her own, she still happily accepted the mobile phone and power bank that Bai Yu gave her.

It just so happened that she had always wanted to give Zhinu a cell phone, and now she didn’t have to ask Second Brother to bring it back from the mortal world.

"Thank you, senior brother." Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Xiao Yu." Bai Yu tilted his head and looked at the fellow apprentices who were gathered in the yard. Suddenly, he took Xia Yu's hand and whispered, "I also brought you some other goodies. Come with me."

"Ah?" Before Xia Yu could react, Bai Yu pulled him up and turned around and disappeared.

In the yard, the second senior brother Li Jian had just returned from somewhere and was looking for Xia Yu everywhere.

Ninety-eight senior brothers have returned one after another. At times like this, Xia Yu usually stays in the yard to watch the fun. Why is she not here today?
"Second senior brother."

A junior fellow who had just finished reporting on his work called Li Jian. Li Jian looked back and said with a smile, "Junior Ninety-eight." Ye Xishi nodded heavily, chased up to Li Jian, and asked with a smile, "Second Senior Brother, are you looking for Junior Sister? Strange, I saw her just now! At this time, I don't know where that girl ran off to."

Li Jian glanced at all the fellow disciples in the yard. The only one missing was the eldest brother Bai Yu. He probably knew where Xia Yu was.

"Second Brother, Master said that this time, you have brought together the most predestined people in the mortal world!" A handsome young man walked out of the crowd. He held a peach blossom fan in his hand and fanned it gently, saying with a smile, "In previous years, the performance of the eldest brother ranked first. This year, he was finally surpassed by the second brother."

Holding a peach blossom fan, with a face as rosy as peach blossoms, the elegant young man Hua Changyi is the seventeenth disciple of Yue Lao.

"Junior Brother Seventeen ranks sixth, and his performance is as outstanding as ever." Li Jian also praised.

Hua Changyi praised Li Jian in various ways on the surface, but he was not convinced in his heart.

"Talking about 'excellence' in front of Second Brother, isn't that just showing off one's skills in front of an expert? However, I heard that there was a turmoil in the area under Second Brother's jurisdiction, and the marriages of the destined people were disrupted. Under such circumstances, he still won the first place in performance. I really admire him."

Of course Li Jian knew that Hua Changyi's words were full of hidden meanings, implying that he had obtained the "first place" in an dishonorable and improper way.

"Junior Brother Seventeen, keep working hard. In another ten or twenty years, you should be able to surpass me." Li Jian said with a fake smile.

"Brother Seventeen, I heard you say before that among the destined couples you brought together, there was a couple that was particularly funny. Can you tell me more about them?"

Ye Xishi saw that the two started to argue again as soon as they met, and he couldn't get a word in, so he simply pulled Hua Changyi away.

There was no expression on Li Jian's face. He returned to his room and raised his hand to send a message to Xia Yu.

Sure enough, after Xia Yu received Li Jian’s message, he immediately came to him with a large basket of snacks.

As soon as he entered the room, Xia Yu quickly put down the basket in his arms and asked Li Jian anxiously: "Second Brother, did Lan Yue come to see you in person?"

Li Jian took a quick look at the basket of snacks and teased, "Junior sister, you are so greedy, you really are not afraid of getting fat. Most mortal women like to be thinner and eat regularly, but you don't care about anything. In a few years, the Heavenly Court will probably have its first 'fat female fairy'."

The first "fat male immortal" was Marshal Tianpeng.

The first "fat fairy"...

Xia Yu didn't dare to think further, and quickly moved the basket of snacks on the ground back to her room {Gardenia Hall}, and then asked: "Second Brother, Lan Yue came to you to ask about my recent situation?"

Li Jian shook his head. He didn't know when a cup of clove tea appeared in his hand. He took a sip and said, "She hopes that the villa you gave her will be returned to me."

How can you take back what you have given away?

At that time, I agreed to let her stay for a while, which was just a temporary solution, just to appease her first...

Xia Yu looked at Li Jian anxiously and asked, "Second Brother, have you agreed?"

Li Jian replied calmly, "I agreed. I changed into your appearance, and got you a household registration and ID card. She changed the name on the property certificate to yours."

"Second Brother..." Xia Yu was a little angry. She didn't expect Li Jian to really agree.

Seeing Xia Yu was angry, Li Jian slowly explained: "You know, the store where she works, [Little Fairy Wardrobe], is one of my branches. If I don't agree, she will repay the loan with her salary. She is now sending her children to school, and she has hired a nanny at home to support an idle person. Without my salary, she can't live on the little money she earns from her part-time job."

Thinking about it, the aunt that Xia Yu hired only paid her one month's salary at the time.

After Yan Lan gave Lan Tian the "growth-promoting medicine", Lan Tian grew up overnight and his time was disrupted.

I don’t know whether Lan Tian spent ten years in one night, or Lan Yue gave birth to Lan Tian ten years early.

Lan Yue was so stubborn that he insisted on returning the villa to her.

She still... blamed Second Brother wrongly.
