Just Wanting to Live a Good Life, but Surpassing the Protagonist – 86 Special Hobbies
As an honored guest who had drunk so much spiritual wine the previous day, no one would come to disturb Ye Yong unless he went out. He could even go into retreat for more than ten days to break through to the Crystallization stage. However, this was someone else’s territory, and Ye Yong did not want to stay for too long. So, after his spiritual power fluctuation completely subsided, he immediately opened the door and went out, preparing to give gifts to the elders of the Liang family and return to Tianluo Sect after that.
Liang Lihua was standing in the corridor. It was unknown how long she had been waiting there. As soon as she saw Ye Yong, she greeted him warmly.
“Young Master Ye, you’re awake. Did you rest well last night?”
It had to be said that in the novel, this woman was written as very snobbish, a type of passerby who flattered the strong and bullied the weak. However, in reality, in Ye Yong’s eyes, she was like a gentle woman. Her voice was soft, and she knew how to display her feminine charm.
It was a pity that her external personality was very easy to cause trouble for herself. Therefore, Ye Yong did not have any favor for her, nor did he have any dislike. After all, everyone had a more or less snobbish mentality. Just like Ye Yong himself, he would not talk much to passers-by whom he felt had no value in interacting with.
It was just that compared to the supporting characters who expressed their snobbish mentality too bluntly and were very annoying, he would not deliberately discriminate or criticize anyone. Even if the other party was a very insignificant little person, Ye Yong would still give them the respect they deserved and be polite.
“Not bad. You didn’t wait here for me all this time, did you?”
“How could I? I just happened to be passing by here.”
Ye Yong nodded. If he were in Liang Lizhu’s shoes, he wouldn’t admit that he had been waiting there on purpose either. After all, it would make him look like a creep.
“Young Master Ye, you drank so much yesterday. Are you having a headache? I’ve had some hangover tea brewed. If you don’t mind, you can come to my place and have a seat. I believe it will be ready soon…”
“No, thank you. I’ve already taken some hangover pills just now. I appreciate your kindness, Miss Lizhu.”
This was the Liang family, and everyone had the surname Liang. It was perfectly normal for Ye Yong to address Liang Lizhu as Miss Lizhu.
“I see.” A hint of disappointment flashed across Liang Lizhu’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She was about to say something when Ye Yong interrupted her. “Excuse me, is the patriarch available? I have something I’d like to discuss with him.”
“The patriarch might be busy with the preparations for the luncheon. Is it urgent? I can inform him for you.”
“No, it’s fine.” Ye Yong looked up at the sky. It was around 10 am now, and the luncheon would probably start at noon. He estimated that during the luncheon, the patriarch would give Ye Yong and Qin Shimeng some magic treasures and pills as a token of gratitude for saving Liang Xiaorou. At that time, Ye Yong would give them the gifts he had prepared, following the custom of reciprocating gifts.
“When the luncheon is ready, please let me know, Miss Lizhu. I still have some of the spiritual wine left in my body, and I need to go back to my room and rest.” After Ye Yong finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room, closing the door behind him.
Liang Lizhu stood there and sighed softly.
For some reason, she could sense that Ye Yong was avoiding her. In terms of figure, she believed that she was not inferior to Qin Shimeng. As for appearance, she might only be slightly less attractive.
She had wanted to spend more time with Ye Yong, to get to know him better and develop some feelings. But now it seemed that it was unlikely. Liang Lizhu couldn’t help but wonder if she had done something wrong without realizing it.

Two hours without any entertainment devices would be pure torture for a modern person. Fortunately, Ye Yong had not traveled to ancient times, but to the world of immortal cultivation. Cultivating could speed up the passage of time. He swallowed two Spirit Gathering Pills and circulated his spiritual energy through a small cycle. In no time, it was noon.
“Young Master Ye, the guests are about to be seated.”
Ye Yong thanked Liang Lizhu and went out. Liang Xiaorou and Qin Shimeng also came over after receiving his message through the communication stone.
“When did you wake up?” Liang Xiaorou saw Liang Lizhu standing next to Ye Yong as soon as she arrived, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She really didn’t want Ye Yong to have too much contact with her.
“This morning, but my head was a little dizzy, so I rested for a while longer. Thanks to Miss Lizhu for waking me up. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to attend the luncheon.” Of course , Ye Yong knew that he should make it clear that he and Liang Lizhu hadn’t had much contact.
Sure enough, Liang Xiaorou seemed to relax a little after hearing this. “It doesn’t matter if you didn’t attend. It’s more important to rest. But don’t worry, I’ve already told them not to let you drink anymore today.”
“I only drank so much yesterday because everyone was so enthusiastic. I wouldn’t have drunk so much today even if you hadn’t reminded me.”
“Don’t say that when you get to the main hall. If they hear you, they’ll definitely drag you into drinking again.”
“Alright.”

Liang Lizhu followed behind, listening to the conversation between Ye Yong and Liang Xiaorou. She could sense that Ye Yong’s attitude towards Liang Xiaorou was different from his attitude towards her.
She even wondered if Young Master Ye had a special hobby, preferring ‘young girls who haven’t even grown their milk teeth’ like Liang Xiaorou?
But Ye Yong had clearly drunk so much yesterday to shield Qin Shimeng from the alcohol, and the first person he looked for after getting drunk was Qin Shimeng, asking her to take him back. If he didn’t have feelings for Qin Shimeng, Liang Lizhu wouldn’t believe it no matter what.
After thinking about it carefully, Liang Lizhu still couldn’t figure out what she had lost to.
———
When the Liang family prepared the luncheon, they had actually considered the possibility that Ye Yong wouldn’t be able to attend. But even if Ye Yong couldn’t attend, they still had to go through the motions. However, after Liang Lizhu reported that Ye Yong had woken up, the preparation for the luncheon went into full swing.
Yesterday’s gathering was just a welcome party. Today was the main event, the gift-giving and thank-you part without drinking.
After Ye Yong and Qin Shimeng took their seats, all the members of the Liang family who were supposed to be there arrived, and the atmosphere was quite solemn.
“First of all, I would like to thank Young Master Ye and Miss Qin for helping our Liang family children in the secret realm.” The patriarch, Liang Zhiping, raised a glass of wine, and the others also raised their glasses to Ye Yong and Qin Shimeng.
Ye Yong and Qin Shimeng also raised their glasses in response.
They finished their drinks in one gulp, and no one refilled their glasses.
Liang Zhiping clapped his hands, and soon two teams of servants each pulled in a cart, which was filled with treasure boxes of various sizes.
One cart was for Ye Yong, and the other was for Qin Shimeng.
Liang Zhiping also briefly introduced some of the more valuable magic treasures, pills, and spiritual plants.
Four Earth-grade magic treasures, more than ten Profound-grade magic treasures. Dozens of fourth-grade pills and spiritual plants, hundreds of third-grade, and thousands of second-grade.
When the younger generations of the Liang family heard this, they felt that the thank-you gifts were a bit too generous.
Not to mention anything else, just those four Earth-grade magic treasures and dozens of fourth-grade pills and spiritual plants were worth as much as the wealth of some moderate families.
Those descendants who didn’t like Liang Xiaorou very much couldn’t help but wonder if Liang Xiaorou’s life was too valuable. But then they thought about Ye Yong’s boundless future. If they could use this opportunity to get closer to Ye Yong, it wouldn’t ‘t be inappropriate to give away this money.
What they didn’t know at all was that in the eyes of the elders, Liang Xiaorou was much more important than they could ever imagine.
