I really became a king.

As soon as Jiang Yi entered the restaurant, Princess Will came up to greet him with a smile, but when she saw the other person clearly, she was stunned for a moment.

Prince Will may not have much impression of Jiang Yi, the former vanguard officer, but Princess Will is very familiar with him.

At that time, the army marched westward and won great victories all the way until they rescued Prince Will. People who were not aware of the situation would think that it was Princess Will who commanded the army well, but those who knew the inside story understood that the pioneer officer in front of them had made an indelible contribution.

However, it was deliberately concealed. Prince Will vaguely knew some of the inside story, but he didn't care at all. He even sent Jiang Yi away directly after joining the Qingyun Sect.

Now seeing Jiang Yi suddenly, Princess Will suddenly found that she didn't know how to address him.

Jiang Yi had not expected this situation, but after a moment of stunned silence, he quickly came to his senses, smiled and nodded slightly, then found a table and sat down.

"Why did Manager Li come to the East Sea Market?"

With so many people around, it was naturally impossible for the two to discuss any confidential matters, so Jiang Yi asked the questions in his mind.

Li Chaosheng didn't know how to answer, so he said, "Because I believe that Senior Brother Jiang will succeed!"

At this time, the former Concubine Dong served tea and smiled cautiously, but still did not dare to look at Jiang Yi. She left in a hurry after serving the tea.

Jiang Yi just smiled and nodded at her, picking up the teacup and turning it gently in his hands.

Li Chaosheng stared at him motionlessly, feeling very nervous, as if he wanted to get the answer he wanted.

But then he suddenly remembered something and leaned closer to whisper, "How did Senior Brother Jiang get here from Xingxiu Sea?"

He had not thought of this before, but now he remembered that there was only one-way transmission between Donghai Market and Xingxiu Sea, and no one could come back from Xingxiu Sea.

He had been waiting here for three years, just waiting for news from Xingxiu Sea.

"I was lucky enough to survive and got some opportunities." Jiang Yi said this in one sentence.

Li Chaosheng knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he stopped dwelling on the topic, but still asked, "I wonder what's happening over at Xingxiu Sea..."

Jiang Yi blew on the hot tea and took a sip: "It's almost time. This is why I came back. I wonder what's going on with the sect?"

"Brother Jiang, eat here first. I will go and send the message now."

Then he stood up and wanted to leave, but then he remembered something and sat down again, saying with a wry smile, "There's no rush for a while."

It was as if he was afraid that Jiang Yi would disappear once he left.

"I wonder if Sister Jiang is okay?"

A voice came from the side, it was the former Princess Will. As for Sister Jiang, it refers to Jiang Yun, the mistress of the Jiang family.

"She's doing well now. She visits neighbors all day long, chatting about family matters. Please take a seat, ma'am." Jiang Yi gestured, and the other party sat down in the empty seat.

Princess Will smiled and said, "That's really good."

But my heart is filled with mixed feelings, thinking about the neighbors and family matters. Just eight words can describe the other person's current life: carefree and free.

"Madam, why did you come to the East Sea Market?"

"Alas, I can't stay in the sect anymore..." The answer came from another voice next to me. Concubine Dong also came over carefully at this time.

But he didn't dare to do it and just stood behind Princess Will.

Jiang Yi said softly: "What a pity..."

No one knows the meaning of these three words, but it seems that everyone understands them. All we can say is that Prince Will started high and ended low, and took the wrong path.

"From now on, Master Jiang... Master Jiang will stay in the East Sea Market?"

"I guess so. I will probably come here more often in the future."

"Master Jiang, please take care of our business in the future." After Princess Will called him Master Jiang for the first time, it became very natural to call him Master Jiang again. "Yes, yes, Master Jiang, please take care of us in the future."

Jiang Yi nodded and asked, "Have all the old people in the mansion been dismissed?"

Princess Will and Princess Dong were a little embarrassed: "Yes, there is nothing we can do. We can't even afford to support the prince's cultivation, and we have a whole family to support..."

The two women felt bitter in their hearts and regretted following Prince Will to this world of immortal cultivation. If they continued to stay in the secular world, even if they did not have the power they had before, they would still have a life of luxury.

There is no need to serve tea and food to customers, smile, or even endure some guests' teasing in person like it does now.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and the two of them dealt with it casually before leaving the restaurant.

Li Chaosheng was just about to lead the way when he saw Jiang Yi turn around and go to the alley entrance again. Out of curiosity, he followed him.

"Uncle Jia, wake up. It will be dark if you sleep any longer." Jiang Yi squatted in front of an old beggar.

The old beggar opened his hazy eyes, rubbed them hard in disbelief, and sat up all of a sudden: "Brother Jiang?"

"it's me."

This old beggar was none other than Uncle Jia, who had fed horses with him in Prince Will’s Palace, and who later followed him to the Qingyun Sect.

But today, three years later, he has become an old beggar living as a helper.

Old Man Jia looked at Jiang Yi's clothes and saw that he was doing well. He moved his lips a few times but said nothing.

Once upon a time, he felt sorry for the other person who had become a servant, but now, he was driven out by Prince Will and was too old to do any work, and had fallen into such a situation.

"Let's go, Uncle Jia, and live somewhere else." Jiang Yi called out.

"Good."

Uncle Jia did not refuse, and did not even bring a straw mat or anything. But when he arrived at the door of the restaurant, he still bowed respectfully to Princess Will.

The reason why he is still alive today is because his former master would give him a few steamed buns for three meals a day. Otherwise, even if he didn't starve to death, he would still be skinny.

"Eunuch Huo has also come out to make a living?"

"Alas, if they are all laid off, how can we feed so many people?"

Old Mr. Jia looked deeply sad and a little depressed, as if he had never expected that he would end up living on the streets when he was about to enter his coffin.

"Xiao Huozi... that's not..."

Jiang Yi looked and saw a young slave in blue standing in front of a brothel on the street, soliciting customers with a flattering smile on his face. Is this a eunuch?
"Xiao Huozi is also a kind-hearted man. Whenever it is cloudy or rainy, he will quietly take me back to the dormitory. Otherwise, he might not be alive today." Old Man Jia sighed.

Jiang Yi didn't say anything and walked in another direction under the guidance of Li Chaosheng.

Old Man Jia was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed with regret. Forget it, this little Huozi seemed to be enjoying it, so he would talk about it later when there was a chance.

"Manager Li, is it difficult to buy a house in the Donghai Market?"

"It would definitely be troublesome if it were someone else, but if Senior Brother Jiang wants to buy it, it's very simple."

Li Chaosheng pondered Jiang Yi's intention of buying a house. It seemed that this was a good thing for him and it would make it easier for him to socialize in the future.

"Then please trouble Manager Li to find a house for us."

"No problem, I'll get it done tomorrow."

Old man Jia listened to the conversation between the two and felt mixed emotions, but at least he no longer had to live on the streets. (End of this chapter)
