Offering Salted Fish To Master

Liao Tingyan didn’t fall asleep early that night. Of course, that wasn’t because of the physiological hygiene courses taught by the teacher during the day, but because she was invited to a banquet by the students.

Her current identity was Yong Lingchun from the Yeyou Palace. In the party, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, they also needed to make contacts. So gathering people to eat and drink was an essential adjustment. All the people in the classroom went, and Liao Tingyan also followed. After all, social animals socialized.

A large group of people, led by the two most senior students, a man and a woman, went to the Jinxiu Painting Hall outside Chen Academy to live overnight.

The men and women sat in separate banquets, and they could see each other across the lights and the dim flowers. There were musicians sitting under the flowers and singing, and there were servants serving wine and spiritual food. The scene was very harmonious and friendly. 

Liao Tingyan was a little disappointed.

Yong Lingchun was sitting in the middle of the women’s banquet. Not long after being on the table, everyone was drinking and chatting, and women from the left and right came to talk.

“Lingchun, I heard that you came to the Chen Academy with your elder brother, how come we haven’t seen anyone else with you?”

Liao Tingyan had to put down the half-eaten peony flower-patterned meatballs, and said, “My brother has other important things to do. He will be back in a few days.”

The beautiful and weak woman held her hand, “Since he isn’t with you these days, it’s better to go to class with me. I am also alone. The courtyard where we both live is close.”

Looking at her expression, it seemed that the woman should know who she was. So she didn’t even need to report her name. Liao Tingyan didn’t know her. There was no other way but to act. Using the social skills that she had developed during her social life in the past few years, she sent her away smoothly after the greeting.

Just one left, and another one came. This time a sister who looked sweet and had a bad temper said, “Did you attack my cousin in class? Did you make him look foolish?!”

She was talking about the man surnamed Qi whose ass was pricked by her. Liao Tingyan was full of innocence, and her blank expression was so vivid that it was impossible to doubt her, “I don’t have any conflict with anyone. Who is your cousin?”

Salted Fish Skill 1: Yes, I do whatever I want.

Salted Fish Skill 2: What? I don’t know, it’s not me

Flicking the sister away, Liao Tingyan took another bite of small meatballs. But before she swallowed it down, the third person came to talk. 

She was obviously an ill-intentioned person, “Why did you come to Gengchen Xianfu to study? But it’s no wonder, after all, your palace is so small and there aren’t many people. I think there was no one there to teach you.”

Liao Tingyan put down her chopsticks and said sincerely, “Yes, you are right.”

Salted Fish Skill 3: Yes, that’s right, you are right.

The girl said, “I don’t think your spiritual roots are very good. You probably won’t be able to cultivate anything after you come here. It’s better to find a cultivator buddy to stick with you from early on.”

Liao Tingyan: “Okay, what you said is good. It makes sense.”

The girl continued, “…You came here today, is it because you are looking for a Dao companion? It’s a pity that all the fellow cultivators here are not up to your level, so you better know your place.”

Liao Tingyan: “Yes, I think so too.”

The girl: “…” Damn it.

The girl who came to provoke was blocked. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and left. Yong Lingchun was a bad-tempered person. Why didn’t she explode at one point? Why was there no response?

When the people were gone, Liao Tingyan could finally eat the last bite of small meatballs, and sighed in her heart. There was no one who came to eat. They were all talking. She was interrupted three times while eating a meatball. After she finished eating, she went to scoop another creamy sweet soup, which tasted refreshing and sweet.

On her vacation days, the food treatment was good and bad. At the beginning in the Three Saints Mountain, she had to prepare her own food. During that time, she didn’t even eat meat. Later, she came out of the Three Saints Mountains, and after a few happy days where she just ordered whatever she wanted to eat at Baili Mountain. They offered various feasts anytime and anywhere to choose from. The food she ate then was the best at that time.

After escaping for life, she started to prepare her own food again. Fortunately, she prepared a lot of fresh dishes to satisfy her appetite. Now although their meals weren’t as good as that of Baili Mountain, it was more than enough.

When eating the second bite of the sweet soup, another little girl came over and said to her, “You have a really good temper. Just now Yuan Rongxue said so much, and you didn’t get angry.”

Liao Tingyan: “It’s nothing to be angry about.” 

After all, she scolded Yong Lingchun. What did she have to do with her?

She was a member of Sima Jiao’s group. Sima Jiao’s identity was probably equivalent to the son of the old chairman of the company. She was parachuted into the company. (m. brought by connections) The veterans of the company apparently didn’t provide for him. In fact, they vacated him, and transferred him to the lower-level branch for infrastructure construction… It wasn’t right. It should be said that this lonely but very crazy BOSS took the initiative to devolve the company’s cornerstone in order to destroy the company that he didn’t like.

As the personal assistant, she was fearless, not to mention, her boss covered her.

Everyone ate and drank for a while, and the scene became even hotter, and finally they started to tell some internal news. 

Someone mysteriously mentioned, “Do you know about the major events that have happened in the inner palace recently?”

“Oh, it has something to do with that Shizu?”

With a gossip look on everyone’s faces they talked about the Dao lord Cizang. These people were all young men in the branch of the big family. They weren’t very old, so they didn’t know much, but they knew more than the average person.

Liao Tingyan was surprised before that Sima Jiao caused such a huge thing, and killed many high-level bosses, but there was nothing about that in Gengchen Xianfu. No one was talking about that huge event. She finally heard someone talk a little bit, and pricked her ears to listen to gossip.

“I heard that Shizu was furious and killed a lot of people, just because a female disciple he loved told him to at the bedside and the head wanted to hide it for him.”

“It was said that Shizu had started a dispute with the head, and now he couldn’t retreat in Baili Mountain.”
