“Brother White, just prepare something easy and effective. There’s no need to make a feast,” LordAsked shivered and his stomach felt a little unwell even before eating anything.
“No worries. I’ll take note of that. I can guarantee that it’ll be quick and tasty,” Ye Cang’s words made everyone’s skeptical hearts sink.
The Qin family’s branch.
Meanwhile, LordAsked and Ji Xiao were at the hawker stall by the street.
“Six sets of meals please!”
“Hey, the two young men, if you’ve been tortured by someone, you can always make a report to the police. Don’t just quietly endure it. *sigh* Life is hard nowadays…” The stall owner felt pity and gave them two big bowls of vegetables and fried rice with meat slices. “Just pay for three meals. The others are on me.”
Staring at them as they were eating, the owner said, “When you’re done, come with me.”
Meanwhile, Ji Xiao was licking the bowl and praised the owner, “This is the best fried rice I’ve ever eaten!”
The boss’ sympathy for them was getting stronger as he wondered how horrible their life was in the Imperial City.
VastSea’s house.
The house by the beach.
Gongsun Qian and SpyingBlade were spending their own romantic time in the room with each other’s company. AV and Lil’Wang decided to come over for a two-day short stay. The two of them were eavesdropping outside SpyingBlade’s room. Fang Ci who was coincidentally passing by sighed when he knew what they were up to and decided to walk away. Yet, they exclaimed, “Even though we know that…how should I say this…well, you’re jealous, Zhaozhao is actually awesome. He always takes care of you during our adventures. You can’t be jealous, alright, since Sister Qian is his official wife.”
“……” Fang Ci’s chest was heavy. Just then, the door opened and they grabbed Fang Ci to prevent him from leaving. “We know that it isn’t easy for you but since Sister Qian has accepted you, why don’t you give them some personal space? Stop eavesdropping outside their room… *sigh* Whatever.”
The two of them left casually.
Seeing Fang Ci standing in front of her, Gongsun Qian grabbed his hand, “Sister, come in. Let’s have a talk. Wanna go on a shopping date with me and Sister Song?”
After making her return to China, the first place Song Xin went to was Lin Le’s room and they started clearing each other’s mucus in their ears.
Ye Cang quietly opened the drawer and took out a picture of Xinxue. “Xue, I’ll never forget you. Your death anniversary is around the corner. You wouldn’t hate me for starting my life again, would you? I don’t even know whether a creature like me deserves to have a future or not but I… I’m sorry…”
Qin family. Main branch.
“Qin Zhong, do you have in mind any candidates for The Great Families’ Youth Meeting this year?” Qin Xiong was sitting in the trigram.
“Qin Yunlong (CloudDragon) from the main branch and a relative of someone from the side branch. My son-in-law, Ye Cang! And Qin San’s two apprentices, Zhang Zhengxiong and Lin Le! I can be the guarantor of their strength even though they’re not from the main branch.” The first part of Qin Zhong’s words earned some nods from the elders but the latter gave rise to some dissatisfaction.
All of the elders started to object and argue.
“Shut up! Qin Zhong, you’ll be responsible for the Youth Meeting this time! Anyone who has any objections, come and talk to me personally!” Upon finishing, Qin Xiong closed the gate of the eight trigram.
