Obviously, Uncle Zhang was caught unprepared by Ding Ning's unconventional behavior. His serious and old-fashioned face showed a trace of astonishment, and then he said methodically, "Young Master, it's already three o 'clock in the afternoon, and we've already had lunch."
"Oh, then you can go and do whatever you need to do. You don't have to stay here."
Ding Ning said casually.
"I can't do that. I've received noble etiquette education. When the master is eating …"
Uncle Zhang stubbornly refused Ding Ning's kindness and began to talk about the noble etiquette he had received.
Ding Ning smiled bitterly, and a trace of slyness flashed across his eyes. "Well, Uncle Zhang, I have something to discuss with my sister and sister. You can leave now."
"Well, well!"
Uncle Zhang was stunned. Although nobles generally did not talk about business at the dining table, he thought of the national conditions of Shenzhou. Even business was discussed at the dining table.
Since the master wanted to talk about business at the dining table, as a servant, it was inappropriate for him to say anything. He waved his hand and left with a group of maids.
Ding Qianlie's stiff waist immediately collapsed. She leaned against the chair, patted her chest, and said with a bitter smile as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden, "Oh, my God, did I hire a housekeeper or a father? Aren't those nobles tired of living like this?"
Luoxue covered her stomach and giggled. Ding Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sister, you are looking for trouble. Can't you just find a housekeeper? Why do you need a noble housekeeper? We are not nobles."
"I thought it was new, but I didn't expect Uncle Zhang to be so old-fashioned and inflexible. Since he came, I've been more tired than in the company. I have to be serious all the time. Otherwise, Uncle Zhang will nag at me to correct my posture."
Ding Qianlie looked gloomy.
"Why don't we hire someone else?"
Ding Ning also felt a headache. "Isn't home a place to relax? If I hire such a strict and inflexible housekeeper, I will suffer in the future."
"That won't do. Uncle Zhang is a hot commodity in the talent market. Many people are fighting to hire him. I went through many difficulties and hired him through bidding. I hired him with a high salary."
Ding Qianlie pouted. "But then again, although Uncle Zhang is a little strict, he is indeed a very professional housekeeper. Every day, he assigns tasks to the servants in an orderly manner and takes care of everything in the house. It would be a pity to replace him."
"It's up to you. At the worst, we can discuss things when we eat in the future."
Ding Ning ate and drank heartily as he came up with bad ideas.
Ding Qianlie rolled her eyes charmingly and said, "Once or twice is fine, but you can't always have something to discuss during meals."
"Sister, I think you can't see clearly because you are closely involved. You hired Uncle Zhang to be a housekeeper with a high salary, not to manage people. We are the masters. You have to learn to say no to him. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he develops the habit of managing everything."
Ding Ning opened his mouth and enjoyed Luoxue's attentive feeding. "You are the business goddess. You have to act like a host. Otherwise, I won't dare to eat at home in the future."
"Well, I'll come back and talk to Uncle Zhang. Let him manage the servants well and leave the master's affairs alone."
Ding Qianlie rubbed her temples with a headache. During this time, she was also very busy. The development of the old area was one of the biggest municipal projects this year, and there could be no mistakes. She had to keep an eye on it in person.
"Sister, I'll give you a massage later. You look very tired. Have you been tired these past few days?"
Ding Ning looked at her with some distress and said.
Ding Qianlie's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed. "It's okay. It's just that I have to keep an eye on the development of the old area of Fuxing Road. I have to go to the construction site every day, so I'm a little tired."
But in her heart, she was full of expectation for the next massage. She had no choice. She had the realm of an expert in the Earth Martial Arts Realm, but did not have any cultivation method. She could only improve her strength by practicing the Great Happiness Zen with Ding Ning.
"By the way, how could I forget?"
Ding Ning suddenly patted his forehead and happily reached out his hand. "Sister, and Luoxue, give me your pendants."
"Why? This is a gift you gave me. Why do you want to take it back? No way. "
Luoxue did not hesitate to give the jade carving to Ding Ning, but Ding Qianlie grasped the Sagittarius pendant tightly and looked at him vigilantly.
Ding Ning looked at her expression as if she was guarding against a thief and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "How can I take back the thing I gave to you? I'm adding something to it for you."
"Really? You didn't lie to me? "
Ding Qianlie looked at him doubtfully. Seeing his sincere eyes, she reluctantly took off the pendant.
Ding Ning took out a carving knife and carved on the red coral for a long time. On the basis of not changing the original shape, he carved a Mind-clearing Talisman and a Vajra Talisman. Then he carved a Water Spiritual Talisman and a Thunderstorm Talisman on Luoxue's jade carving. Finally, he took out a Spiritual Crystal of Water and a Spiritual Crystal of Thunder and poured Spiritual Energy into the talisman matrix.
Although they were all basic talisman matrices, Ding Ning preferred the more powerful spiritual talisman compared with the talisman with the help of external objects. However, he knew that his True Qi might not be able to meet the Spiritual Energy needed by the talisman matrix, so he could only replace it with spiritual crystals. This was also the reason why he dared to try this after he learned the basics of tactical matrix. As for making Divine Talismans, he dared not think about it now.
As the Spiritual Energy was poured in, the talisman matrix on the two pendants gradually lit up and kept flashing along the mysterious lines. When the Spiritual Energy contained in the two Lower Level spiritual crystals was about to be exhausted, Ding Ning opened his mouth, bit the tip of his tongue, and spat out two drops of essence blood into the talisman matrix. After flashing for a while, the talisman matrix gradually disappeared, as if it had never existed.
"All right!"
Ding Ning's face was a little pale, but he returned the pendants to them with great joy.
"Are you all right? Why do you look so pale? And, what were you doing just now … Hey, how could it be like this? What did you do? "
Ding Qianlie looked at him with some distress. While nagging, she took the pendants. A cool aura filled the air, which refreshed her spirit and eliminated all her fatigue. She couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"I studied for seven days and seven nights and just learned how to make talismans. I carved two talisman matrices on your pendants. One is the Mind-clearing Talisman, which can nourish your spirit at all times and eliminate your fatigue. The other is the Vajra Talisman, which can protect you when your life is in danger. Unless the enemy is strong enough to launch an attack that exceeds the limit that the Vajra Talisman can bear, it will protect your life."
Ding Ning explained with a smile. The first time he made a talisman was smooth beyond his imagination, which made him extremely satisfied.
"Then why did you spit blood on it? The essence blood of a warrior is very precious. In the future, don't waste your essence blood at will. It will hurt your vitality."
Ding Qianlie looked at him with some emotion and couldn't help but exhort him.
"The talisman matrices are stained with my essence blood. When you are in danger, I can sense it as soon as the talisman matrices are activated. It also has a positioning function, so I can rush over to save you as soon as possible."
Ding Ning explained with a smile.
"You … you are so kind to me."
Ding Qianlie's heart was full of sweetness and she said with some affection.
"You are my sister. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"
Ding Ning grinned, but Ding Qianlie rolled her eyes discontentedly, which made him confused. "What's going on? Did I say something wrong? This is not the right style. "
However, he didn't know that Ding Qianlie was muttering with grievance in her heart, "What sister? I am your future wife, okay?"
"Brother, what talisman did I carve? I feel that the Water Spiritual Qi has become stronger. "
Luoxue put on the pendants happily, blinked her big eyes, and asked curiously.
"Yours is the Water Spiritual Talisman, which can attract the surrounding water elements to gather around you and speed up your practice."
Ding Ning rubbed her head and said with a smile, "The other one is powerful. It is the Thunderstorm Talisman. When you encounter a strong enemy, it can send out a powerful thunderbolt to kill the enemy."
"Wow, isn't it very powerful?"
Luoxue played with the pendants fondly and said with admiration.
"But there is one bad thing about the Thunderstorm Talisman. Once it is activated, your jade carving will also be broken. So, try not to use it unless you are really in danger."
Ding Ning smacked his lips and wondered if he should get some worthless jade carving talismans in the future. Otherwise, it would be too wasteful.
"You are biased. I also want the Thunderstorm Talisman!"
Ding Qianlie pouted like a child fighting for a toy and shook Ding Ning's arm to act coquettishly. The majestic peaks rose and fell, which almost made Ding Ning have a nosebleed.
He hurriedly ran the Heart Sutra of Bodhi to calm down and concentrate, so that he did not make a fool of himself in public. This evildoer sister was really too attractive.
Ding Ning calmed down and saw Ding Qianlie pouting with a sulky expression as if she was very unhappy and needed to be coaxed. He couldn't help feeling distressed and hurriedly explained with a smile, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to help you get the Thunderstorm Talisman, but the pendant is so small that it can only hold two talisman formations at most. Luoxue has been practicing and has the ability to protect herself, so I made her an offensive Thunderstorm Talisman. Sister, you don't practice, so I made you a defensive Vajra Talisman. Besides, even if I make you a Thunderstorm Talisman, you can't activate it, because it needs True Qi to activate."
"Who said I don't have True Qi? I am an expert in the Earth Martial Arts Realm. "
Ding Qianlie pouted discontentedly and raised her small fist in a threatening manner.
"Sister, are you an Ancient Warrior?"
Ding Ning grabbed Ding Qianlie's wrist in surprise and felt her True Qi. Then his expression became extremely strange. "Sister, have you also practiced the Heart Sutra of Bodhi?"
"What Heart Sutra of Bodhi? No. "
Ding Qianlie looked puzzled.
"You haven't practiced the Heart Sutra of Bodhi. Why is the True Qi in your body the same as mine? What kind of cultivation method are you practicing? "
Ding Ning believed that his sister would not lie to him, but this was too strange. Was there a cultivation method like the Heart Sutra of Bodhi in the world?
However, this was impossible. The True Qi cultivated by each cultivation method was unique, which was why the True Qi of a warrior would cause harm to the enemy when it entered the enemy's body.
Ding Qianlie knew nothing about the general knowledge of cultivation, but she had always been smart and soon understood that the reason for this situation must be because of the Great Joy Zen during the Double Practice.
After his grandmother's huge spiritual power entered Ding Ning's body and was transformed, he could not completely absorb it. The extra part entered her body through the Double Practice, which made her jump from an ordinary person to an expert in the Earth Martial Arts Realm.
In other words, the True Qi in her body and Ding Ning's were of the same origin, so Ding Ning thought that she also practiced the Heart Sutra of Bodhi like him.
However, although she understood it, she was too embarrassed to say it. She could only pretend to be crazy and said, "Grandma once said that I was born with a Buddha body. Maybe it's because of my True Qi. That's all."
"Born with a Buddha body?"
Ding Ning nodded thoughtfully. "Maybe the born with a Buddha body is special. There is no other explanation."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that your phone has been ringing off the hook these days. Wait and see. Don't call you for anything urgent."
