Chapter 1217: 524
"Greetings, Daoist Friend!" Ji Hao, upon seeing this, also hurriedly returned Jiang Yuan’s gesture of respect.
"Young Ji, all well with you, I hope!" Dugu Bo said with a laugh.
Ji Hao immediately cupped his hands towards Dugu Bo, showing a touch of respect, "Senior Dugu, all well with you too!"
"Little Junior Brother!!!" Ji Yueyue sprang out from behind Ji Hao, her hands behind her back, smiling sweetly at Jiang Yuan.
"Senior Sister Ji has come too!" Jiang Yuan said with a slight smile.
"Yes, yes!" Ji Yueyue nodded vigorously, "When Father said he was going to visit Little Junior Brother, I asked him to bring me along to see you!"
As her words fell, she looked at Jiang Yuan with a face full of amazement, "Little Junior Brother, you are too incredible!! All of us, your senior brothers and sisters, were stunned!!"
"Everyone’s been praising Little Junior Brother! Pan Hua was quite shocked before, but now he seems to have come to terms with it! He says Little Junior Brother has never been ordinary; you’re on par with mythical figures!!"
Jiang Yuan smiled, and a flash of gold light appeared in his hand as the Holy Institute Token instantly appeared.
Then his divine sense merged into it, rapidly scanning the conversation of the others.
"I was busy before and didn’t notice the chat between the senior brothers and sisters, my mistake! My mistake!!"
Ji Yueyue waved her hands frantically, "No problem! No problem!! Little Junior Brother, getting where you are must have been tough, unlike me, just idling away my time, with plenty of it to spare!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile, "Senior Sister Ji so young and with such cultivation, ranking on the Supreme Ranking, how can you call that idling away? If you’re idling away, then the heaven geniuses of the world might as well hang themselves!"
Ji Yueyue immediately stuck out her tongue playfully, her smile as beautiful as blooming flowers.
"Little Yueyue, how could you not greet me!" Dugu Bo suddenly spoke up when he saw this.
Ji Yueyue blushed with a bit of embarrassment, awkwardly said, "Oh! The Dean is here too!"
"Haha——" Dugu Bo couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Jiang Yuan said, "Since the Human Emperor has come all this way, why not come in for a drink?"
"Sure!" Ji Hao nodded his head, "I was thinking the same thing, and we have matters to discuss later as well."
"Let’s talk over drinks!" Jiang Yuan spoke, and then lifted his hand to indicate Ji Hao to come inside.
Straight away.
Ji Hao and Dugu Bo walked side by side, stepping across the threshold with large strides.
Ji Yueyue also hurried to Jiang Yuan’s side.
"Little Junior Brother!" She smiled, her hands still clasped behind her back.
Jiang Yuan said, "Please, Senior Sister Ji!"
"Yes, yes!!" Ji Yueyue nodded again and again.
A moment later.
The four arrived at Jiang Yuan’s courtyard and took their seats.
"Young Master, the Dragon Liver is here!" Shu Xiaoxiao’s voice rang out at the entrance of the courtyard.
Jiang Yuan turned his head and immediately saw Shu Xiaoxiao, dressed in a white gown possessing a celestial air and stunning beauty, carrying in a large plate of stir-fried Dragon Liver.
This was a cooking method Jiang Yuan had once mentioned.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan immediately rose, taking three steps in place of two to reach her side.
"I’ll take it!"
He immediately took the dish from Shu Xiaoxiao’s hands.
"Young Master, you go and enjoy your drink with the Holy Emperor and the Human Emperor! Let me take care of these small tasks!" Shu Xiaoxiao said, attempting to take the dish back from Jiang Yuan’s hands.
Jiang Yuan shook his head and dodged the hands she reached out.
"How can it be right for us to be here drinking and enjoying ourselves while you run around tending to things?"
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan had already placed the plate of Dragon Liver on the dining table.
Then, grabbing Shu Xiaoxiao’s shoulder from behind, he gently pressed down, guiding her to sit in the seat beside him.
"Young Master?" Shu Xiaoxiao’s mouth fell open, gazing at Jiang Yuan with surprise.
Jiang Yuan said, "We have enough dishes already! You just sit quietly by my side, no more bustling about."
"How can that be! With both the Holy Emperor and Human Emperor here, I am but a mere maid, how could I sit at the same table with these seniors!!" Shu Xiaoxiao hastily shook her head and declined, her body instinctively rising.
Jiang Yuan quickly held her down, preventing her from standing, shaking his head firmly as he spoke, "If I say it’s okay, then it’s okay!"
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo also chuckled, "Little girl, just listen to your Young Master!"
"Isn’t that so! Right, Young Ji!" he said, addressing Ji Hao.
Upon hearing this, Ji Hao also nodded in agreement, "Though you claim to be Jiang Yuan’s maid, who doesn’t know that you are exceptional by nature, ranking on the Supreme Ranking at just the tender age of eighteen! Even Jiang Yuan, at your age, might not have been your equal!"
"If it weren’t for your Young Master currently overshadowing everything, people would probably have already been singing praises of your talents!"
"With your performance, how could you lack the qualification to sit with us!"
"I can foresee that it won’t be long before you achieve sainthood, and your future accomplishments may well surpass even mine!"
Jiang Yuan then smiled at Shu Xiaoxiao, "See, both seniors have said so!"
Shu Xiaoxiao, finally relenting, nodded slowly, "Well... alright then! I’ll listen to the Young Master!"
Having said that, Shu Xiaoxiao poured herself a cup of wine.
"Xiaoxiao once again toasts the two seniors, thank you for your high regard!"
Dugu Bo and Ji Hao exchanged glances and then lifted their cups, downing the wine in one gulp.
This was both to show face to Jiang Yuan and to acknowledge the young girl who had always been by his side.
The words Ji Hao had just spoken were not mere flattery but his sincere opinion.
Anyone who knew even a little about the maid by Jiang Yuan’s side would realize her incredible potential.
To be ranked on the Supreme Ranking at the age of eighteen was a feat that shocked and awed the world.
Looking back through all of recorded history, besides Jiang Yuan, no other such formidable heaven genius had ever emerged.
