These words shocked the group.
At this moment, Sr. Miao looked at the people around him proudly.
Back then, these people had mocked the Miao family for having no children, but now, the Miao family’s situation had changed!
The Miao family were just late bloomers.
Thinking of this, Old Master Miao was even more grateful to Yu Peng.
“It’s all thanks to you for reminding us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have known! You’re considered a benefactor of the Miao family! Why don’t you come to the Miao family’s house for a meal with your friend?! Let our family express our gratitude.” Old Master Miao invited sincerely.
“It’s better not to! I still have some things to deal with! However, I have to remind you first. The reason the Miao family received such a surprise is because of the blessings your ancestors accumulated! From now on, your family has to do more good deeds and be kind. Don’t have any ill intentions. Otherwise, although the child is here, he might be taken back!” Yu Peng reminded.
“Alright, alright, alright. You’re right! We’ll definitely do more good deeds and be more kind-hearted according to your instructions.” Sr. Miao nodded and said, “However, no matter what else you have to do, there’s no reason for you to work on an empty stomach! People can only work after eating. Why don’t you come to my house for a meal first?!”
While Yu Peng was still thinking, Jiao Hang persuaded, “It’s difficult for us to refuse their kindness. Besides, I’m hungry!”
When Yu Peng heard Jiao Hang’s words, he finally nodded.
“Alright then! We’ll have to trouble you today!”
Seeing that Yu Peng and the others had agreed, Old Master Miao immediately led them home happily.
At this moment, the women at home had already made a sumptuous meal and were waiting for Old Master Miao to invite them over.
There was cured meat, meatballs, and some vegetables and fruits on the dining table. It was a sumptuous meal.
Unfortunately, these people’s culinary skills were still inferior to the Luo family’s.
However, Yu Peng and Jiao Hang had lived a hard life in the past. These dishes were much better than what they had to eat when they were in trouble.
So the two of them thanked them as they ate.
When they were at the Luo family’s house, Luo Cheng provided them with very good food.
Therefore, when they ate here, the two of them only ate two pieces of meat. The rest of the time, they ate vegetables.
After all, the Miao family wasn’t rich. They didn’t lack food, so it was fine as long as it could fill their stomachs.
Seeing this, Old Master Miao quickly persuaded the two of them to eat meat.
In the end, Yu Peng refused with a smile.
“We’re cultivators. Eating too much meat will be detrimental to our cultivation!”
Upon hearing Yu Peng’s words, the Miao family stopped persuading them.
After the meal, Yu Peng was still thinking about their mission, so he said, “Thank you for your hospitality today! We still have something to do, so we have to leave first!”
“Priest, I heard that you frowned in front of a few families’ doors and said that it’s not good, so those families want to ask what’s wrong with their families?” Old Master Miao asked.
When Yu Peng heard this, he looked at Old Master Miao.
“How are those families related to vou?”
Sr. Miao was stunned for a moment before asking, “What do you mean?”
Yu Peng said, “If you don’t have a good relationship with them, don’t get involved in this matter! If you have a good relationship with them, tell them not to push nobles out the door and treat fish eyes as pearls!” When Sr. Miao heard this, his face was filled with confusion.
“Priest, please explain clearly! I don’t understand.”
“Of course you don’t understand, but they understand themselves! Some people are courting death! When an opportunity comes, they refuse it and even bring themselves to a dead end!” Yu Peng said with a sigh before leaving with Jiao Hang.
After Yu Peng and Jiao Hang left, many people came to Old Master Miao to ask around.
Old Master Miao didn’t hide anything and told him what Yu Peng had said previously.
It turned out that Old Master Miao wasn’t asking for those families, but for the other commoners in the village.
“What do you mean? I keep feeling that this Daoist priest is extraordinary and his words are really unfathomable!” an old man said.
“Don’t forget, the Daoist priest said that those families should understand, so why don’t we ask them together?!” Old Master Miao thought of something and asked.
When the others heard Old Master Miao’s words, they immediately nodded.
“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s go ask together!”
Therefore, the group walked towards the nearest house.
After knocking, a voice came from inside.
“Who is it?”
“Sr. Chang, come out. We have something to ask you!” Old Master Miao shouted.
Soon, Old Master Chang opened the door and came out. Seeing a group of people outside the door, Sr. Chang frowned.
“Why is everyone here? What happened?”
“Sr. Chang, you still have the cheek to ask why we’re here? We wanted to ask you what you’ve done. The Daoist priest stood in front of your house the moment he arrived and said that something was wrong, but he didn’t say anything. Later on, we kept asking, but the Daoist priest said that you rejected the nobles and welcomed the sinner in! Not only you, but several other families were also like this! Tell us, what sinner did you welcome in?” Old Master Miao questioned.
When Old Master Chang heard this, his expression changed.
“What sinner? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
With that, Old Master Chang pushed Old Master Miao out and closed the door.
Furious, Old Master Miao and the others quickly knocked on the door again, but the Chang family didn’t open the door at all.
Then, Old Master Miao brought people to the other two families.
However, like Old Master Chang, when these two families heard Old Master Miao’s question, their expressions changed and they closed the door.
This time, everyone realized that there was a problem.
Who was the Daoist priest? He was like a god!
What the Daoist priest had said previously were all proven to be true. Now, what was still to be confirmed was the matter of these three families and the orphan and widow who lived at the end of the village.
Therefore, everyone’s suspicion of these three families deepened.
After Yu Peng and Jiao Hang returned, they took off their disguises and sat in the courtyard to rest.
Jiao Hang looked at Yu Peng and asked, “How did you know about everything that happened today? You even divined that the Miao family’s wife was pregnant..”
