The moment she entered the tavern, Judy was instantly shocked by the rich spirit energy and the tremendous dao charms.
"This... This... Is this really the secluded residence of some otherworldly expert?"
Jiu Jian saw Judy's reaction and he nodded. 'I believe that she'll become humble when she steps into this environment in the tavern.'
It was noon. There were no guests in the tavern.
Only Su Mengli was cultivating on the chair alone. Sensing that someone was coming, Su Mengli immediately stood up to welcome the guests.
When she saw that the person who came was that stingy old ancestor from before, her expression instantly turned cold. However, they were still senior Su Yang's guests after all. So, she went forward to receive him very patiently, "Are you here to look for our boss?"
When Jiu Jian heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He cupped his hands and smiled politely, "Miss, please pass on the message."
Judy watched from the side as Jiu Jian was so respectful to a little girl. It made her even more curious about the senior here. Moreover, she could see that this little girl's cultivation was not weak at such a young age. She should be the disciple of this senior.
Before Su Mengli went to report to her boss, Su Yang walked in from the kitchen. When he saw Jiu Jian, he smiled and greeted him politely, "The old man is here. Please take a seat inside."
Seeing Su Yang, Jiu Jian immediately bowed and said, "Mr. Su, please."
"Okay!" Su Yang said with a smile and did not stand on ceremony with him. He came to a place by the window and sat down. Seeing this, Jiu Jian also sat down with Judy.
Judy sized up the young man in front of her. From top to bottom, she could not sense any aura of an immortal cultivator. Was this person a mortal? What surprised her was that Jiu Jian was so respectful to a mortal.
Soon, she understood the reason. It must be because Jiu Jian loved his neighbor as he loved himself. Since this young man was from the tavern, then he was the senior that Jiu Jian talked about. No wonder Jiu Jian was so respectful toward him.
Jiu Jian looked at Su Yang and introduced Judy.
"This is my..."
"I can tell. Uncle and niece, right?" Su Yang waved his hand and said first.
"You're indeed Mr. Su!"
Jiu Jian was full of admiration. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. It was unnecessary for him to do this. With senior Su Yang's sky-reaching means, he probably saw through his identity at a glance. He even saw through his purpose of coming here.
Su Yang smiled. This was nothing. Jiu Jian was an old man, and Judy was a middle-aged woman. Moreover, Judy was also so respectful to Jiu Jian. Besides the relationship between uncle and niece, there was nothing else, right?
"What do you want to eat today? I've just prepared a pot of steamed meat. Do you two want some?" Su Yang asked with a smile.
"Sure!" Jiu Jian said decisively.
It must be known that every ingredient here in Su Yang's tavern was on the level of a precious earthly treasure. Not to mention that it was freshly cooked. He believed that its value must be extremely precious.
Su Yang was just about to go to the kitchen when Judy suddenly said, "Let's have a pot of wine!"
Su Yang smiled when he heard this. Then, he nodded and left.
However, this sentence frightened Jiu Jian. With a bang, Jiu Jian slapped the back of Judy's head. Judy felt pain and rubbed the back of her head. She asked in puzzlement, "Uncle, why did you hit me?"
"Hit you? I want to beat you to death." Jiu Jian's eyes were full of anger. Looking at the disappointing niece in front of him, Jiu Jian really wanted to slap her to death.
"That's Mr. Su. How dare you order Mr. Su to do things?"
Judy thought otherwise.
"Isn't the purpose of opening a tavern to serve customers? I just ordered a pot of wine!"
"Just a pot of wine?!" Jiu Jian asked coldly, "Do you know what a pot of wine here means? Even if we sell our Heavenly Sword Sect, we might not be able to afford a pot of wine. You actually dare to order a pot of wine? I think you really don't want to be the sect leader anymore!"
Judy's eyes were filled with disbelief. Was it not just a pot of wine? How could it be more valuable than their Heavenly Sword Sect?
She could not believe it at all. She thought that her uncle was getting old and was a little confused. Not wanting to continue on this topic, she said, "Uncle, the spirit energy here is so dense. You can cultivate here. The cultivation speed here is definitely several times faster than the outside world."
Looking at the disappointing niece in front of him, Jiu Jian snorted coldly.
"Hmph, how could I not know? This is Senior's residence. How can we casually cultivate here?"
Hearing this, Judy did not mind. Encountering such a good cultivation place, he naturally did not want to waste the golden opportunity. Thus, she immediately closed her eyes and began to cultivate.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she could feel the extremely dense spirit energy and the dao charms that had taken shape. Judy was extremely shocked.
As a nascent soul stage cultivator, she knew the importance of dao charms too well. Moreover, this was a dao charm that had already taken shape.
For nascent soul stage experts, that was something that could only be encountered by chance but not sought after. She did not expect there to be so many here.
Right at this moment, she discovered a dao charm that had transformed into a sword. This dao charm was practically tailor-made for a sword cultivator like her.
Without saying anything else, she intended to absorb and comprehend this dao charm. However, just as she started to absorb it, that sword-shaped dao charm suddenly moved and pierced her at an extremely fast speed.
A sword had pierced into her sea of consciousness. When her sea of consciousness was attacked, Judy instantly felt that her entire head was about to explode.
The sea of consciousness was a very important place for an immortal cultivator. Whether it was cultivating techniques, martial techniques, or comprehending the dao, they needed a medium and that was the sea of consciousness. However, if her sea of consciousness was injured, it would be irreversible. She could have an endless future, but her life would stop here.
Judy held her head in pain, her face was full of agony. Jiu Jian sensed something was wrong and quickly used his qi to stabilize her injury.
"Did you try to comprehend the dao charm earlier?" Jiu Jian asked while treating her. Judy nodded in pain.
Jiu Jian saw the situation and thought, sure enough.
"You, you, why don't you listen to my advice? It must've been Mr. Su who punished you just now. You dared to be disrespectful to Mr. Su, and you even casually comprehended the dao charms here. It's already a good thing that I didn't take your life and cripple your cultivation."
Judy did not expect her uncle to not care about her at this time. He even blamed her? Now she also believed what her uncle said that her behavior earlier was indeed a little inappropriate.
From her uncle's words, she also heard that the young man without cultivation was the owner of this shop. At this time, she hated her uncle to death in her heart.
