Chapter 120 Jiang Ziya Recruits the Five Gods
Because he was thinking of his rather legendary martial uncle, added with the bustling Zhaoge, and there were many fun things, Nezha, although he had already cultivated a Golden Core, was not in a hurry to return to Chentang Pass.
Anyway, it certainly wasn’t because Yumao’er had a nice voice or that her meat was fragrant and tender that he was reluctant to leave!
That day Ziya returned, and again bumped into Song Yiren. Song Yiren asked, "Good brother, how’s business today?"
Jiang Ziya had earlier enjoyed a meal with Nezha and the others, and after some consolation from this group of friends, he felt a bit more at ease, but upon seeing Song Yiren, he couldn’t help wanting to find a hole to hide in.
But despite that, they were as good friends as one could be; even if he felt guilty, he wouldn’t avoid meeting him.
So Jiang Ziya recounted the events of the day once again and, in the end, said, "Really, I am too ashamed to face you. Today, not only did I not earn a single penny, but I also lost a lot of capital."
Hearing this, Song Yiren also sat on the threshold worrying with him, though he didn’t mind losing this bit of money, but going back like this to face Ma, let alone Jiang Ziya, even he would feel scared.
He sighed and said, "Good brother, don’t worry. The loss is not much as it has only been a day. A gentleman keeps his life and timing in perspective; let’s think of other ways."
Song Yiren’s mind worked fast and he had many ideas, whether useful or not, the ideas just came quickly.
Immediately he exchanged fifty taels of silver, had someone take Ziya to sell cattle, horses, pigs, and sheep, according to his idea: slaughtered livestock would rot if left too long, but live animals wouldn’t rot, would they?
