Li Sangyu had been pretending to be reserved, but Zhao Hongmei praised her so much that she lost her head, especially when she heard Zhao Hongmei step on Chi Shuyan and flatter her, saying that she was worthy of the title of ‘Celestial Master.’
Her master had always been strict with her at Longhu Mountain and had never praised her like this. At that moment, Li Sangyu really forgot Perfected Zhang’s teachings of being “reserved” and “modest.” She was flattered by Zhao Hongmei, and said with a smile, “Hongmei, you really know how to talk. If you need anything in the future, just ask me for help. But your Zhao family does have a good eye. How can a Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain compare with a grassroots Celestial Master who cultivated on their own?”
Zhao Hongmei continued, “That’s right! How famous is Longhu Mountain in the capital? Who in the capital doesn’t know it? It was my dad’s friend who took the initiative to find that Chi woman; my Zhao family would never have thought of looking for other Celestial Masters aside from you, Celestial Master Li! Even then, we wouldn’t have believed them!”
Li Sangyu beamed and said, “Okay, Hongmei, just call me Sangyu from now on. I also feel that the more we talk, the more we get along.”
At that moment, Song Zhongsheng opened the door and called out, “Hongmei, the food is almost ready. I also specially made a few dishes for Celestial Master Li to try today!”
Seeing Song Zhongsheng’s appearance, Zhao Hongmei looked like she was about to say something, but didn’t. If Li Sangyu wasn’t here, Zhao Hongmei would have snuggled into Song Zhongsheng’s arms!
The two exchanged a loving look before Zhao Hongmei took Li Sangyu’s hand and said, “Celestial Master Li, let’s go eat! By the way, Official Song is very good at cooking.”
The moment Li Sangyu entered the Zhao family home, she had taken a few more looks at Song Zhongsheng. After confirming that there was no black qi and he hadn’t stained a human life, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Women looked at appearances. Song Zhongsheng was good-looking, and Li Sangyu happened to be obsessed with looks, or she wouldn’t have fallen in love with Qi Zhenbai at first sight.
So, the more she looked at this ghost, Song Zhongsheng, the more she liked him. In her heart, she thought that her previous decision had indeed been the right one. There were good and bad people, and there were also good and malicious spirits. How could she kill him, like her master said?
What was more, Li Sangyu was really envious of their relationship. She also said at that moment, “Hongmei, since I’m using your name, don’t call me Celestial Master Li anymore. Just call me Sangyu!”
Zhao Hongmei said, “That’s great, Sangyu!”
The three of them went to the dining room together. Father Zhao had already laid out a lot of different dishes. His daughter constantly instructed him to cook more meat, and the Zhao family didn’t lack money. So, except for one or two vegetable dishes, everything else was meat. It was very sumptuous and looked good.
Seeing that Celestial Master Li was on good terms with his daughter and ghost son-in-law, Father Zhao thought that if his ghost son-in-law was a malicious spirit, how could Celestial Master Li greet him with a smile?
His imagination stopped running wild and Father Zhao also completely put down his doubts about this ghost son-in-law. He hurriedly asked Li Sangyu to sit down and eat.
As soon as Li Sangyu sat down, Zhao Hongmei picked up food for her. Because Official Song liked meat, Zhao Hongmei subconsciously used the common chopsticks to pick up meat.
Li Sangyu didn’t usually like to eat meat, but seeing how enthusiastic the Zhao family was, she couldn’t refuse. Plus, Father Zhao was a good cook, and it smelled nice. Li Sangyu took a bite of the meat. She didn’t know what meat the Zhao family had prepared for her. At the first bite, the meat felt very strange. As a Celestial Master, Li Sangyu was naturally very sensitive to taste, and almost threw up. What kind of meat had the Zhao family bought for her?
But seeing the father and daughter’s enthusiastic eyes, Li Sangyu had to swallow the meat. She asked Father Zhao curiously, “Uncle Zhao, what kind of meat is this?” Why did it taste so strange?
