Liu Jiang was stunned for a moment before he smiled gently. "Yang Cheng, what's the matter?"
Yang Cheng said cautiously, "It's nothing. I just brought some local specialties from home. I brought them over for you to try."
From the corner of his eye, Yang Cheng saw Liu Qingzhong and Guo Cuicui in the house. He quickly said, "I didn't greet you before I came. I came too presumptuously. Well, I just brought you some specialties as a token of my appreciation. You have guests at home, so I'll go back first."
With that, he put down his things and was about to leave.
It was actually a gift!
Liu Jiang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his senses and said gently, "I haven't eaten yet. Don't be in a hurry to leave. Let's eat together later."
Joy from Yang Cheng, +1320, +…
Yang Cheng said, "I won't be disturbing you, right?"
Liu Jiang: "…"
He was just being polite. He did not expect Yang Cheng to have average EQ.
However, since Yang Cheng had said so, he could not say anything.
After all, he had come to give him a gift. It wouldn't be good to not offer him a sip of water.
Well, let him stay and chat for a while to draw some emotions from him and bond at the same time."
After all, having another friend was better than having another enemy.
Liu Jiang said warmly, "It's no bother. Have a seat."
Joy from Yang Cheng, +1230, +…
"Aye!" Yang Cheng replied and sat on the stool that Liu Jiang was pointing at. He even carefully sat on half of it, looking like a very careful and reserved primary school student.
Fear from Yang Cheng, +1260, +…
Liu Jiang's parents were curious when they saw how careful Yang Cheng was.
"Dad, Mom, this is my colleague from the Inspection Bureau, Yang Cheng."
Liu Jiang introduced them. "Yang Cheng, this is my dad and this is my mom."
Yang Cheng quickly said respectfully, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."
Guo Cuicui and Liu Qingzhong nodded politely.
Guo Cuicui walked to the wooden table and poured tea for Yang Cheng. She asked gently, "Would you like more or less tea leaves?"
Yang Cheng stood up immediately and said, "Auntie, don't busy yourself. I'll do it myself. I'll do it myself."
As he spoke, he picked up the kettle and filled Liu Qingzhong and Guo Cuicui's cups first. Then he poured a cup for Liu Jiang and finally filled his own cup.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu were stunned when they saw this. They thought to themselves that this person was too polite. They were both colleagues from the Inspection Bureau and judging from his age, he was much older than Liu Jiang. He actually poured tea for Liu Jiang very politely.
Liu Qingzhong looked at Yang Cheng and smiled gently. "Don't be so polite. Since you're Little Jiang's colleague, make yourself at home here. Oh right, have you been busy with work recently? Are there many demons and ghosts?"
Liu Qingzhong tried to find something to say to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Yang Cheng immediately straightened his back and answered seriously, "Not very busy. I have nothing to do most of the time. There are also very few demons and ghosts."
Guo Cuicui said, "How is our Little Jiang doing in the Inspection Bureau? He's honest and loyal. He must have been scolded by his superior many times, right?"
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment before he said loudly, "Get scolded? Captain Liu is capable. The leaders of the Inspection Bureau value him very much. He's the strongest captain in our Black Clouds Town's Inspection Bureau. Why would he be scolded?"
Yang Cheng praised him.
Although his EQ was low, he was not stupid. He had even read two books on how to curry favor.
At this time, he could not embarrass Liu Jiang by saying that he had been bullied in the past.
At a time like this, praise was the way to go.
Men were prideful.
If he gave Liu Jiang face in front of his parents, his impression of him might improve greatly.
He did not want to be assigned to patrol the streets all day and resolve trivial neighborhood disputes.
Liu Jiang was stunned. However, looking at his parents' stunned expressions, Liu Jiang felt great.
He gave Yang Cheng a satisfied look.
Yang Cheng was quite happy to receive Liu Jiang's gaze.
He was overjoyed.
The 41st energy fruit quietly ripened.
Liu Qingzhong and Guo Cuicui were stunned for a moment. Liu Qingzhong asked, "Captain Liu, what Captain Liu?"
"Huh?" Yang Cheng was stunned. "Uncle and Auntie still don't know?"
Liu Qingzhong asked, "Know what?"
Yang Cheng looked at Liu Jiang and saw his affirmative gaze. He puffed up his chest slightly. "A few days ago, during our Inspection Bureau's assessment, Captain Liu Jiang defeated Yang Wen, who was at the peak of the seven-star Black Iron, with his superior strength. Luo Caiyun, who was at the peak of the seven-star Black Iron, was so scared that she immediately admitted defeat. Captain Liu won the first place in the assessment with an absolute advantage. He became the captain of the third patrol team of the Inspection Bureau in Black Clouds Town."
Liu Jiang's eyelids twitched. Is it as exaggerated as Yang Cheng said?
Liu Qingzhong and Guo Cuicui were stunned. Only then did Liu Qingzhong look at Liu Jiang and say in surprise, "You defeated a peak seven-star Black Iron martial artist? You've become the team leader of the Inspection Bureau?"
Liu Jiang nodded. "Yes."
Liu Qingzhong and Guo Cuicui still could not react.
Defeat a peak seven-star Black Iron martial artist?
Although Liu Jiang did not go home, he would write a letter every month.
A month ago, Liu Jiang had written to them that his cultivation level was still at the peak of the three-star Black Iron.
How did he defeat a peak seven-star Black Iron martial artist?
Liu Qingzhong asked, "What level are you now?"
Liu Jiang said, "I obtained some opportunities recently. My cultivation level is now nine-star Black Iron."
Tonight, after refining the energy fruit, he would most likely reach the Bronze level.
"Hiss…"
Liu Qingzhong and the other two turned into vacuum cleaners and gasped.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu reacted and joy surged in their hearts.
Joy from Liu Qingzhong, +1210, +…
Joy from Guo Cuicui, +1210, +…
Yang Cheng was shocked. He did not expect Liu Jiang to hide his cultivation level.
How amazing.
It was amazing.
He had indeed obtained an opportunity.
He wondered what kind of opportunity he had obtained.
Envy!
Jealousy!
Envy from Yang Cheng, +1320, +…, jealousy, +1310, +…"\
While feeling envious and jealous, Yang Cheng had a little thought.
That was to befriend Liu Jiang and cozy up to him.
It was said that Liu Jiang was from the Liu family in Qingzhou. Now if he had the support of the main family, his future was definitely set in stone.
The sky would be the limit.
As long as he clung to Liu Jiang, he might be able to make a fortune.
At the thought of this, Yang Cheng chuckled and said, "Oh right, Captain, my culinary skills are superb. I wonder what Uncle and Auntie like to eat. I'll show you and Uncle and Auntie my skills now."
Liu Jiang was stunned and refused. "Forget it. It's too embarrassing to ask you to cook after coming all the way here."
Yang Cheng made up his mind.
He had decided to cozy up to Liu Jiang.
It was sometimes easier to gain Liu Jiang's favor by fawning over his parents.
His cooking was indeed delicious, very delicious, so he decided to please Liu Jiang and his parents.
Yang Cheng chuckled. "It's fine, it's fine. I just like to cook. Oh right, Uncle, Auntie, what do you like to eat? Something flavorful or bland?"
Liu Qingzhong looked at Liu Jiang and saw him nodding. He chuckled and said, "This is too much trouble for you. I like everything. Just make two dishes. Your aunt feels the same."
Joy from Yang Cheng, +1210, +…
Yang Cheng chuckled. "Alright, I'll go buy groceries first."
With that, he left happily.
