"Come, come, Brother Xuan... This is your first time visiting my Li residence, so I don't have much to offer you. I can only let you taste the cooking skills of the chefs in my residence."

Leading Wenxuan by the hand, Li Jing slowly guided him to the seat of honor, while Li Jing himself sat beside Wenxuan.

"This is just a family dinner, Brother Xuan, please eat whatever you like."

"Hurry up and serve the food..."

Just as Li Jing was calling for the dishes to be served, Madam Yin also moved her position slightly, getting closer to Wenxuan.

On the other side, Nezha sat on a stool meant for two people, his gaze fixed on Wenxuan and Madam Yin.

He always felt that there was something wrong with his mother and cousin, and he could smell a seafood aroma in the air.

Moreover, the smell came from his mother and Wenxuan.

"Alright, sit down and let's eat!"

As dish after dish was served, Li Jing gestured for Wenxuan to start eating.

What puzzled him, however, was the strange way the food was presented today.

While others were served lavish meals of meat and fish, Li Jing... ate nothing but vegetables and vegetable soup, nothing but vegetarian dishes, without a trace of meat.

The only dish with a hint of meat was a plate of minced meat and green vegetables.

Moreover, the servant who served the dishes today kept blinking and coughing, which made him so angry that he wanted to slap him, but he didn't say anything because Wenxuan was a guest.

"Go down... we don't need you here anymore."

As the last dish was served, Li Jing hurriedly shooed away the old servant in front of him.

After the servant left, Li Jing put on a smile again.

His eyes were full of kindness when he looked at Wenxuan.

"Come on, Brother Xuan, try these..."

"Wife, hurry up and fill your cousin's cup with wine."

Chapter 288 Taiyi Zhenren

“Okay…” Madam Yin got up and poured Wenxuan a full glass of wine.

"You all should drink too..." Not wanting to get drunk, he gestured for Li Jing, Lady Yin, and Nezha to drink together.

"Alright, alright... We won't leave until we're drunk tonight."

As a general, Li Jing was naturally willing.

Just as the four were enjoying their drinks and conversation, the sound of servants outside broke the harmony.

"Reporting...Master...There is a Taoist priest outside the mansion requesting an audience."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing's slightly flushed face flashed with displeasure.

Looking at his wife and Wenxuan beside him, Li Jing also clasped his hands in apology.

"I'm so sorry, I need to go and take care of this first."

Wenxuan knew that the Taoist outside was Taiyi Zhenren, but... Wenxuan never expected that the other party would arrive so quickly.

The plot differs quite a bit from the original story.

Something's not right... I've only been here for a day, and Master Taiyi has already arrived. Something's definitely not right.

Thinking of this, Wenxuan looked up at Li Jing and saw that the other was about to get up and leave. Wenxuan also quickly picked up the hand that was touching Madam Yin's jade feet under the table.

"It's alright... Since they are guests, let's invite them in to dine together. It's just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks."

Wenxuan stopped Li Jing, who was trying to get up.

"Your master said to let the Taoist priest in."

Wenxuan made the decision for Li Jing without giving him a chance to speak.

"Hmm!" The servant outside the door did not move, but waited for Li Jing's instructions.

Although Li Jing said he would treat Wenxuan as his master, the actual power of speech still lay with Li Jing.

Li Jing frowned as he saw his shoulder being pulled.

However, given Wenxuan's status, he didn't take it to heart.

"Let's do as Brother Xuan says and go invite the Taoist priest in."

Upon hearing Li Jing's words, the servants outside withdrew to invite someone in.

After the servants left, the room fell into a brief silence.

Seeing this, Madam Yin glanced at Wenxuan and the stool she was sitting on, then said gently, "Alright, alright, let's eat first... let's eat first."

At this moment, Madam Yin's stool was soaked, all because Wenxuan had been flirting with Madam Yin under the table while he was clinking glasses with Li Jing.

A short while later, a servant brought in a young Taoist priest in a yellow robe.

With the same appearance as in the original work, Wenxuan recognized the other person at first glance.

When Li Jing saw the person who came, he knew that the person was no ordinary person.

So he asked respectfully, "May I ask what brings this Daoist priest to my Li residence?"

When Li Jing asked, Taiyi Zhenren didn't say anything, but instead took out a wooden "business card" from his pocket.

Li Jing didn't know what it was, but he still accepted it.

When Li Jing saw the contents clearly, his lips twitched.

"Qianyuan Mountain, Jinguang Cave, Tai Er Zhenren!!!"

As Li Jing read the contents of the wooden plaque aloud, Wenxuan knew that this was none of his business, so he continued to reach under the table and play with Madam Yin's Xiaoxue.

While using his fingertips to tease the black leopard, he would occasionally stroke Madam Yin's thigh and drink wine... Madam Yin, blushing, would also be feeding him food.

Just as Wenxuan was enjoying himself immensely, Taiyi Zhenren suddenly overturned the wine table.

"That's the character '乙', why are you reading it using Arabic numerals?"

"This isn't the Shang Dynasty anymore, okay? Let's respect the historical context."

"Would business cards have been something the Shang Dynasty would have had?"

Fortunately, Li Jing and Taiyi Zhenren were having a conversation, and no one noticed Wenxuan and Madam Yin standing to the side.

The moment he saw the table being overturned, Wenxuan pulled his hand out of Xiaoxue's hand.

Seeing that there was nothing to cover her, and that Wenxuan had pulled out his fingers, Madam Yin let out a soft moan and crossed her legs.

The bitter tea seeds with beads inside were covered up.

Why are you flipping the table?

"That's very impolite of you, you know?"

After straightening her skirt, Madam Yin interrupted Li Jing and Taiyi Zhenren's conversation.

"You old... no, you little Taoist priest, we invited you in to dine with us, and you flipped the table as soon as you came in. What do you mean by that?"

"Do you think the Li family is easy to bully?"

Madam Yin was not afraid of the Taiyi Zhenren in front of her; her two sons had also gone to cultivate with the master.

Actually, Madam Yin didn't want to confront Master Taiyi, after all, he was no ordinary person, but... he almost exposed her.

Without the table to hide it, what she and Wenxuan were doing in secret would be exposed.

Fortunately, no one noticed that Nezha was munching on a chicken leg on the side, while Li Jing and Taiyi Zhenren were facing off again.

"No, no, no... This lady must have some misunderstanding about me."

Upon hearing Madam Yin's words, Master Taiyi felt somewhat embarrassed; he simply couldn't help himself.

"misunderstanding?"

"Hehe..." Madam Yin clearly wouldn't let Master Taiyi clear his name so easily.

"I think the Taoist priest did it on purpose..."

"Alright, madam, I don't think this Taoist priest meant it."

Li Jing didn't want things to escalate, so he acted as a peacemaker.

Li Jing winked at Madam Yin, trying to signal her to stop talking, since the person in front of her was no ordinary person.

As soon as Li Jing uttered these words, Madam Yin's expression changed.

Looking at Li Jing's face, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, a bitter smile rose up.

In her mind, Li Jing usually protects her first, but now... not only does he not protect her, but he also seems to be blaming her.

That's just how women are; when they don't love someone, they'll find fault with everything.

Clearly... after being thoroughly educated by Wenxuan, Madam Yin had also fallen for him.

As for Li Jing... his feelings for him also faded.

Lady Yin didn't even look at Li Jing's eyes; she simply lowered her head and remained silent.

"Haha...My wife recently gave birth...so...I'm sorry, Daoist Master."

When Li Jing saw Lady Yin lower her head, he knew that he had hurt her heart.

But now is not the time to apologize; he plans to coax the other person in the room after they leave tonight.

However, Li Jing was unaware that this was the last vestige of love that Lady Yin had for him.

After tonight... Madam Yin will no longer be the wife in his heart.

However, Li Jing was obviously unaware of this.

At this moment, he also had to deal with the Taiyi Zhenren in front of him.

Chapter 289 The Happiness Li Jing Couldn't Provide: Becoming a Disciple of Taiyi

Upon hearing Li Jing's apology, Taiyi Zhenren nodded with a smile.

His fondness for Li Jing also increased considerably.

He truly lived up to his reputation as Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who would later be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

"May I ask what brings you to my Li residence, sir?"

“I have come here for your father’s third son, who is the reincarnation of my personal disciple Lingzhuzi…”

Seeing that Li Jing was asking about serious matters, Taiyi directly stated his purpose.

Listening to the two of them say one thing at a time, Wenxuan also turned his head to look at Madam Yin, who was bowing her head to the side.

At this moment, the other party is vulnerable, which is the perfect time to delve deeper.

Thinking of this, Wenxuan slowly walked towards Madam Yin and quietly came up behind her.

“Look, madam… this Li Jing is not suitable for you. He actually speaks up for an unknown outsider and flatters him to the extreme. He doesn’t even care about you, his lawfully wedded wife, and doesn’t try to coax you. This kind of man will abandon you sooner or later… you might as well come with me.”

Wenxuan's voice rang in Madam Yin's ear, softly, and he deliberately blew air into her ear.

This also caused Madam Yin's already rosy cheeks to rise even higher.

My previously low mood has improved considerably.

"How about it, my lady... If you come with me, you will not only receive my care, but I will also give you a kind of happiness that Li Jing could never give you."

This time, Wenxuan didn't just blow air into her ear; he directly rubbed the Barrett between Madam Yin's two long, white legs from behind.

"uh-huh……"

Madam Yin was startled when she felt a stick approaching.

I almost couldn't help but make a sound.

Looking at the three people still talking beside her, Madam Yin turned her head and pinched Wenxuan's Barrett.

His tone then became slightly pleading.

"No...too many people here."

After she finished speaking, Madam Yin's face turned from red to pink, just like a young girl who had just fallen in love.

She was both shy and embarrassed, and dared not look Wenxuan in the eye, instead looking at her toes.
