Chapter 586

Zhang Xiaohua didn't bother to change her clothes. She just smiled and said, "Forget it, Senior Brother Bai. He's just meeting a former senior brother of our sect. Why do you have to be like this?"

Bai Huan argued, "But this is Senior Brother Lu Lihong. He's different from others. Besides, Head Master Chen has also instructed me."

"Forget it, then I'd better go back to the top of the mountain." Zhang Xiaohua pretended to leave.

Bai Huan immediately grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's clothes and said anxiously, "How can you do that?"

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to change into new clothes, the disciple next to her came up with an idea and said, "How about this, Junior Brother Bai, just say that you haven't found clothes suitable for Junior Brother Ren."

"That works?" Bai Huan was a little dumbfounded.

Zhang Xiaohua nodded repeatedly, "This works, absolutely."

"Okay then." Bai Huan helplessly walked into the courtyard with Zhang Xiaohua.

At the banquet, Yang Yao was listening attentively to what Arhat Zhang Xiaohua was saying. From time to time, he squinted his eyes and nodded frequently. When he was talking, he couldn't help but applaud. At this moment, he looked up and saw Bai Huan walking in with Zhang Xiaohua. His eyes immediately lit up and the smile on his face became wider. He stared at the slowly approaching Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua had been looking at the banquet. When she saw Yang Yao looking at her, she also smiled and nodded at Yang Yao. Although she was behind Bai Huan, her footsteps quickened.

After entering the hall, Bai Huan went to Chen Fengxiao. At this time, Chen Fengxiao was holding a wine glass, accompanied by Wu Zhouxu. He was talking to Lu Lihong with his head lowered. Bai Huan whispered, "Head Master Chen, Head Master Chen, I've found Ren Xiaoyao."

"Well, why did it take so long?

Where did he go? "Chen Fengxiao frowned and looked up unhappily.

However, before Bai Huan could explain, Chen Fengxiao said to Zhang Xiaohua, who was behind Bai Huan, in a clear voice, "Little brother, come here quickly. Let me introduce you …"

Before he could finish his words, his expression changed slightly. He saw Zhang Xiaohua enter the hall. She smiled and nodded slightly at Chen Feng, then turned around and walked towards Yang Yao. When she arrived in front of him, she bowed deeply and said, "Martial Uncle Yang, long time no see. Are you well?"

Zhang Xiaohua's actions were out of the expectations of all the disciples in the hall. Not to mention Chen Fengxiao, even Yang Yao was caught off guard. Yang Yao hurriedly got up and helped Zhang Xiaohua up. "Martial niece Ren, you're too polite. We've only been apart for a dozen days. Everything is fine."

Then, he took Zhang Xiaohua's hand and came to the main table. "Come, let me introduce you to our distinguished guest of the Pill Repository Hall. He's also a senior of the Rejuvenation Valley. He's now a famous outer disciple of the Wuming Hall, Senior Brother Lu Lihong."

Lu Lihong was talking to Chen Fengxiao just now, so he did not notice anything. It was not until Zhang Xiaohua walked into the hall and Chen Fengxiao introduced her that he clearly saw Zhang Xiaohua's face. In an instant, his expression changed slightly, but it soon returned to normal. He was also surprised when he saw Zhang Xiaohua walk over to greet Yang Yao. His eyes revealed a look of interest. Now that Yang Yao introduced her, he hurriedly got up. His face flushed with surprise again, and he said, "Oh, this is the new medicine apprentice of the Fragrant Cult this year. Haha, I've long heard of him, but I didn't expect to see him today. It's really better to see once than to hear a hundred times."

Then, he took Zhang Xiaohua's hand affectionately, as if he had never seen her before.

Zhang Xiaohua pulled her hand away and saluted again. "So it's Senior Brother Lu. I've long heard of your great name. Now that I see you, I admire you even more. You're just like your name, extraordinary, extraordinary."

Chen Fengxiao, who was standing to the side, secretly gave Zhang Xiaohua a thumbs up in his heart. "This is a real man who doesn't forget his roots!"

Then, he patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder and said, "This is also the most talented medicine apprentice of our Tian Mu Peak in recent years. Although he's still young, he vaguely has the demeanor of Junior Brother Lu in the past."

Lu Lihong looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said with a smile, "That's right. Junior Brother Ren is the prospective son-in-law of Rejuvenation Valley's Valley Master Nie. How can his martial arts be lacking?"

When he said this, Chen Fengxiao and the rest frowned slightly. Even the other disciples in the main hall had strange expressions on their faces. The way they looked at Zhang Xiaohua had changed.

Everyone naturally knew that Zhang Xiaohua came from Rejuvenation Valley. However, the fact that he was the son-in-law of Rejuvenation Valley was considered a secret. It wasn't suitable for many people to know about it.

Of course, he was different from ordinary medicine apprentices. The others also knew about this. However, they also knew what they should know and what they shouldn't know. Therefore, they wouldn't ask at all.

Now that Lu Lihong had said it in front of them, he directly broke the window paper. How could they not "see" Zhang Xiaohua in a new light?

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Lihong's face was full of regret. His expression changed faster than flipping a book. He slapped his own mouth and said, "Aiyo, Junior Brother Ren, look at me. I've lost my virtue after drinking. Please forgive me."

In fact, Zhang Xiaohua didn't care about this. She hurriedly smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lu is really a person who knows everything. This little secret of mine is known by Senior Brother from Wuming Hall. I really admire you."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't care, but Yang Yao couldn't not care. He was the one who brought Zhang Xiaohua from Rejuvenation Valley. Therefore, he looked at Chen Fengxiao and Wu Zhouxu as if nothing had happened. The two of them also understood and said with a smile, "Although Junior Brother Lu is now an outer disciple of Wuming Hall, he used to call us brothers in Pill Expanding Hall. Since we are brothers, we naturally speak behind closed doors. Only we brothers know about Junior Brother Lu's drunken words just now. If others know about it, then …"

Before they finished speaking, everyone already knew what they meant. Naturally, they wouldn't let them finish their words. Zou Shuming and the others raised their cups and said, "Head Master Chen and Wu Dalang, don't worry. Even if the walls have ears, we brothers will cut off those ears. Come, cheers."

Lu Lihong also raised his cup and said, "Come, Junior Brother Ren, Senior Brother apologizes to you."

"This …" Zhang Xiaohua was a little hesitant. Chen Fengxiao, who was next to her, hurriedly explained, "Junior Brother Lu, please don't blame us. Junior Brother Ren is still young and can't drink wine. Why don't we substitute tea for wine?"

Lu Lihong said with a smile, "Junior Brother Ren is taller than me when standing in front of me. How can he be young?

Come, you must drink wine. Only then can you be a real man and a real son-in-law! "

These words were a little vulgar, but they were exactly what the others were thinking. Zou Shuming and the others all roared with laughter.

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she smiled and said, "Since Senior Brother Lu insists on letting me drink a cup, I can't be ungrateful to Senior Brother. However, this is the first time I've drunk wine. How about this cup?"

Lu Lihong said with a smile, "Of course, of course. As long as Junior Brother Ren gives me face, it's fine."

Zhang Xiaohua picked up a wine cup from the table and raised it in front of her chest. Lu Lihong said, "Okay." Then he drank it in one gulp, and the others followed suit.

Although the Pill Tower Hall's wine wasn't as good as Rejuvenation Valley's Hundred Flowers Wine, it was still considered an excellent wine. It tasted much better than the Xin Rong Gang's wine. However, Zhang Xiaohua only drank one cup and didn't drink more. She had already asked for one cup, and Lu Lihong had also agreed. After a few failed attempts to persuade her to drink, everyone didn't force her and sat down.

Chen Fengxiao originally wanted Zhang Xiaohua to sit beside him so that she could be closer to Lu Lihong. However, Zhang Xiaohua said that she had some private matters to discuss with Yang Yao, so she only sat beside Yang Yao. Chen Fengxiao saw that Lu Lihong only picked up a pair of chopsticks and didn't force him. He followed Wu Zhouxu and continued to accompany Lu Lihong to drink and chat.

When Zhang Xiaohua sat down, Yang Yao's face was filled with joy. He said in a low voice, "Martial Nephew Ren, when I sent you to this place, I was worried for many days. Later on, I met the Hall Master and specially reported to him that I wanted to transfer you back to White Mountain Peak. However, there were some difficulties involved, so I couldn't do it."

"But now, it seems that Martial Nephew Ren is like a fish in water here. You're living a free and unfettered life. This makes me feel very gratified and relieved. I was still worried that I would mistreat you and fail to live up to Brother Nie's trust."

"Gosh ~" Zhang Xiaohua silently cursed, "I've been branded with Rejuvenation Valley's brand. I reckon I won't be able to get rid of the title of son-in-law."

However, Yang Yao's words were very sincere and must have come from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Xiaohua picked up the teacup and said, "I can't drink wine. I'll use tea in place of wine. Thank you for your concern, Martial Uncle."

"Good, good." Yang Yao smiled and raised his cup. He drank a cup and looked at Zhang Xiaohua with relief, saying, "I heard from you that you displayed great prowess the moment you arrived at Tian Mu Peak. You won three matches in a row and even defeated Martial Nephew Zou in qinggong. I didn't expect Martial Nephew Ren's martial arts to be so powerful. It's far beyond my expectations."

How could Zhang Xiaohua admit to it?

She only smiled and said, "Martial Uncle thinks too highly of me. This was all due to Head Master Chen's arrangements. I was only very lucky to achieve such a result. Moreover, it was my first time at Tian Mu Peak and my senior martial brothers were not familiar with it. That was why I lost. If we compete again in the future, I won't be so lucky and can only lower my head and admit defeat."

"Haha, Martial Nephew is still young. There's still room for improvement in the future. There's no need to fuss over a temporary victory or defeat."

Yang Yao comforted, "Oh yes, I heard that you changed all your elixirs to medicinal herbs. Why did you do that?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua gave a long sigh and said, "Sigh, Martial Uncle, please don't mention this matter. Every time you mention this matter, I regret it. You also know that I came from a small sect in Jianghu and have not seen much of the world.

I only know that aged medicinal herbs are precious. No matter how many elixirs I have, I won't be able to use them all. Why not exchange them for medicinal herbs? Only after I changed them did I realize that in our Pill Repository Hall, medicinal herbs are like weeds. I still have many medicinal herbs left in a small courtyard! "

After listening to Zhang Xiaohua's' confession ', Yang Yao smiled and said, "All the new alchemy apprentices are like this. When they see a medicinal herb, they treat it like a treasure. In fact, they don't know that this kind of herb is everywhere. You are also new here, so you will slowly learn about it in the future. However, exchanging medicinal herbs with medicinal pills, you have suffered a great loss."

At this point, Lu Lihong said, "Junior Brother Ren, I misspoke after drinking and now I regret it. Can you give me a chance to deal with your herbs as an apology?"
