Chapter: 5255
She then immediately started packing.
Because the tablets and paintings are all important family heirlooms and represent the ancestors of the Jiang clan, Leaf Yecha didn't intervene.
Jiang Old Lady carefully put away all the tablets, putting them into her own bag, and then she carefully rolled up each of the three paintings and placed them in their respective frames.
However, only two of the paintings were put into the bag, while the portrait of Meng Changsheng, which was an ancestor's painting, was not put away. Instead, Jiang Old Lady held it out to Leaf Yecha with both hands, saying sincerely: "Lord, you have great divine power. If Meng old master really found the way to eternal life, maybe you and he will have a chance to meet again in the future. This portrait of Meng old master, I'll give it to you as a gift!"
Leaf Yecha was taken aback, not hesitating to politely decline: "Jiang Nai Nai, this is a family heirloom left by your ancestors. How could I take it away from you? You should just keep it."
However, Jiang Old Lady suddenly knelt down with both knees, holding the painting frame in her hands and saying firmly: "Lord, as an old lady today, I'm taking my child to leave this place behind. In my heart, I've already made a decision for myself, my child, and our future descendants; I'll give up waiting for Meng old master's opportunity..."
"After we leave this place, from now on, the Jiang family will only know that their ancestors once had such miraculous experiences, without needing to know about Meng old master's promise to them..."
"Well, even if Meng Old Master is still alive, or if he finds us later, it's impossible for him to find us;"
"Rather than that, I'd like to leave this painting with you, in case Meng Old Master really didn't die, and maybe we'll meet again in many years, with this painting, perhaps we can form a connection. If not, I won't get up from my knees!"" said Jiang Nai Nai.
Leaf Yecha heard these words and sighed inwardly: "The possibility of Meng Old Master still being alive is approaching zero, even if the Nine Heaven Canon was written by him, he probably wouldn't be able to live until today. It would take so much more than just spiritual energy and elixirs to live for over 1,400 years."
But Leaf Yecha didn't say anymore, took the painting frame with both hands, and said seriously: "Since that's the case, this painting will be taken by the younger generation. You can rest assured, we'll take good care of it! Please get up quickly!"
Jiang Old Lady finally relaxed and stood up.
Just then, a voice could be heard from outside the door, "Hey, this esteemed guest, what are you doing standing at the door? I just caught two fat wild chickens. I'm going to cook them for you two to have!"
Seeing Jiang Old Lady's son return, Chen Zekai's first reaction was to think of a way to stop him from entering, so as not to delay Leaf Yecha and Jiang Old Lady's conversation.
However, by this time, Leaf Yecha had already convinced Jiang Old Lady to move to Shu. He then walked out into the courtyard and said, "Old Chen, come in quickly!"
Chen Zekai heard this and knew Leaf Yecha had already finished discussing important matters, so he told Jiang Old Lady's son, "Come on in!"
The two of them entered the courtyard, and Jiang Old Lady's son exclaimed happily, "Look at what I caught! Two wild chickens!"
Jiang Old Lady hurried out, laughing and said, "You're amazing, child! You've managed to catch two wild chickens with just a little bit of effort."
After that, she called him in.
It was already late evening when they got inside. The courtyard was dimly lit, and Jiang Old Lady's son hadn't noticed anything unusual about his mother yet. But once he entered the room, he was shocked by the sudden change in his mother's appearance!
He said in amazement, "Mother... you... you've become so young all of a sudden?! Your hair has darkened significantly too! This is really too incredible..."
Jiang Old Lady spoke softly and said, "Child, don't make a fuss. The guest who just arrived brought some elixirs and foreign health supplements for your mother to take, which caused her hair to darken so much. But you must not tell anyone about this, understood?"
Jiang Old Lady's son nodded without hesitation and smiled, saying, "Mother, don't worry, I won't say anything."
Jiang Old Lady slightly nodded and then said, "Child, go tidy up the room and come out with me."
"What now?" Jiang Old Lady's son asked in surprise, his face full of shock. "Mother, aren't we going to kill the chickens first before eating them?" JrNovels.com
