Chapter 1817

Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, and several Shī xiōng exchanged glances, naturally understanding what was going on.

One could also guess what the Guo Jia Zi Di were thinking, after all, wasn't it already obvious?

Because of Ye Zhangqing's food, these Guo Jia Zi Di felt embarrassed, so they took out their treasures from their persons, treating them as opportunities, wanting to give them to Ye Zhangqing.

But before they could think much, several Guo Jia Zi Di from afar had already run over, grabbing Ye Zhangqing without a word and pulling him away.

"Young Master Ye, there's a great opportunity over there; your luck is really excellent."

Huh???

After being forcibly dragged away by several people, not long after, Ye Zhangqing arrived at the great opportunity they had spoken of.

Only to see by the Baiyun shore a pile of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, each at least immortal-grade, and among them were several elixirs.

"Young Master Ye, these are all treasures; they are rarely encountered."

Huh???

Several Guo Jia Zi Di around were feigning excitement, as if it were truly just good luck.

They were also worried that directly giving it to Ye Zhangqing would be refused, so they came up with this method.

But looking at the various kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures before them, with attributes worlds apart, the most outrageous part being the elixirs—what kind of opportunity could this possibly be?

Can elixirs grow out of thin air?

Facing the excited expressions of several Guo Jia Zi Di, Ye Zhangqing showed a helpless look.

"Sirs Shī xiōng, I know your good intentions; I, as the younger brother, have taken them to heart, but this.................."

However, before Ye Zhangqing could finish his sentence, having only spoken halfway, those several Guo Jia Zi Di were first stunned, and then their words trailed off.

Immediately, they looked at Ye Zhangqing with surprise and said.

"Junior Brother Ye, you've figured it out?"

Huh???

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched involuntarily; do I even need to look? You've made it obvious yourselves.

Can elixirs appear out of thin air in this desolate wilderness?

Ye Zhangqing didn't know how to answer those several Guo Jia Zi Di for a moment.

With something so obvious, even if you wanted to keep understanding while pretending ignorance, it would be hard; the truth has been shoved in your face, yet you still want to act stupid—it's quite difficult.

Although he didn't answer, here silence already spoke louder than words.

For a moment, Ye Zhangqing and those several Guo Jia Zi Di, their gazes meeting, fell into silence, neither side knowing what to say.

After busying themselves by the riverbank, the fish everyone had caught were processed and made by Ye Zhangqing into pot after pot of delicious dishes.

This flavor left the Guo Jia Zi Di astonished, as if heavenly.

Especially the others besides the Second Sequence; after all, they hadn't gotten to eat before, but now tasting this fish flavor, it was almost as if their tongues might be eaten away.

One person ate several big bowls of rice, after which everyone felt satisfied; Ye Zhangqing, looking at the Guo Jia Zi Di, also smiled and shook his head.

Earlier, those various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, elixirs and magical implements—Ye Zhangqing couldn't withstand the Guo Jia brothers; under the Second Sequence's irresistible demand, he ultimately accepted them.

Originally, Ye Zhangqing intended to give all these things to Xu Jie and the others.

But the five said they didn't want anything; after some tugging, Ye Zhangqing ended up taking the life-preserving magical treasures.

However, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures and elixirs used for cultivation were all given to Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, and the others.

Although Xu Jie and the others had broken through to the Great Saint Realm, the Great Saint Realm was still rather weak, not even reaching the Emperor level.

And Ye Zhangqing didn't need these things himself; keeping them would be a waste, better to give them to Xu Jie and the others to quickly boost their strength.

After receiving so many good things, the several Shī xiōng also felt deep gratitude toward the Guo Jia Zi Di.

However, at this moment the Guo Jia Zi Di found themselves in a predicament.

After eating Ye Zhangqing's pickled fish, everyone's hearts and eyes were filled with that deliciousness, unable to think of anything else.

But now, the earlier "opportunity" had been seen through by Ye Zhangqing; if they continued to linger because of their own desire for food, causing Ye Zhangqing and them to miss the opportunity, they felt uneasy inside.

Above all, they worried that Ye Zhangqing might develop a dislike.

Yet if they just let everyone set off like that, they would be reluctant.

But that earlier trick clearly wouldn't work; Ye Zhangqing had seen through it completely, making it impossible to be fooled again.

"Elder brother, what should we do now?"

"Pretend we know nothing?"

"Do you have the face for that?"

"I.................."

"If Young Master Ye doesn't get the opportunity and ends up disliking us, do you still want to eat later? Just one word from him, and believe it or not, you won't even have a place in line."

"Then what should we do?"

Everyone discussed in whispers, and eventually each gaze fell upon the Second Sequence.

Obviously, the Second Sequence is the mainstay of the brothers; now that everyone has no solution, naturally they can only look to see if the Second Sequence has any ideas.

After all, that method was also devised by the Second Sequence; although the brothers messed it up, even so they still thought it was a good idea, they just didn't handle it well.

Facing the gazes of the brothers, the Second Sequence pondered for a while, then finally transmitted his thoughts slowly.

"Directly giving treasures, Junior Brother Ye probably wouldn't accept; but taking them for free, we brothers aren't that sort of people."

"That's right, but the problem is, what should we do now?"

The brothers both wanted to eat and felt embarrassed to take it for free, fearing to provoke Ye Zhangqing's dislike.

Fortunately, the Second Sequence didn't beat around the bush; after a pause, he quickly continued.

"So, I think we should personally go to the latter half, let Junior Brother Ye cook here, we go seize the opportunity, and then transfer all the seized opportunity to Junior Brother Ye; that should work."

Upon hearing that, all the Guo Jia Zi Di's eyes lit up.

Exactly, since that earlier attempt was messed up, we might as well just create a real opportunity.

Isn't it about seeking opportunity? I'll just snatch it and give it to you—this way it's not considered freeloading, and it also gives an explanation to Ye Zhangqing's side.

In a moment, all the brothers nodded in agreement, showing their support for the idea of the Second Sequence; this is indeed the best idea at present.

The Guo family sequence disciples were discussing via voice transmission, while Ye Zhangqing, not far away, looked at everyone with a strange expression.

Although everyone was communicating via Spiritual Voice Transmission, Ye Zhangqing had no idea what they were saying; but just by looking at everyone's expressions, Ye Zhangqing knew they were definitely plotting something in secret.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing had also roughly guessed this............ he just wanted to say it wasn't necessary—earlier, the Guo family sequence disciples had paid out of their own pockets, and the treasures they gave were already plenty.
