Chapter 182: Acupuncture Point Stomach 36 (ST36)

"What’s the rush?" Ye Fengyun asked, puzzled.

"Um... that, haha, it’s just a small matter. Don’t ask too much, just remember my instructions," Wenren Qingqiu said with a chuckle.

While indulging his sweet tooth all the way and abandoning his disciple halfway, it was quite embarrassing that he inadvertently ran out of money. Therefore, Master Wenren was too embarrassed to speak it aloud.

He found it difficult to say, and Ye Fengyun also felt it inappropriate to ask more. He just gave Ye Fengyun a questioning glance, then looked at Mu Hanyan, recalling that his master had mentioned it was he who had helped in the emergency.

In Ye Fengyun’s eyes, there was clearly a sense of wariness.

Others might not understand Wenren Qingqiu, but how could he, his eldest disciple, not? The Master was simple of heart and inexperienced, having rarely ventured beyond the gates of Longyan Academy. This time, the several disciples accompanied him precisely because they feared that someone might recognize him and cause trouble.

If they were only sucking up to him because of his status and seeking some benefits, that would be one thing, but if they were deceitful and manipulative, taking advantage of the Master, that would be utterly unforgivable.

"Master, you rarely venture out, unaware of the dangers of the outside world. Be careful not to be deceived by others," Ye Fengyun said, looking at Mu Hanyan with an implied meaning.

"Nonsense, do you think your master is so easily fooled? I see the sincere hearts of these young friends, and they are not pretending. I have lived for over a hundred years, can’t I see that?" Wenren Qingqiu said displeased.

Sincere hearts? Seeing the displeasure on his Master’s face, Ye Fengyun didn’t say anything more, merely giving Mu Hanyan a quiet, scornful smile.

Wenren Qingqiu hadn’t left Longyan Academy much over the years, unaware of the treacherous ways of the world. Meanwhile, as his eldest disciple, he often had to share the Master’s worries, and thus, had more opportunities for exposure to the world than other academy disciples. Having seen too much of the treacherous human heart, he certainly did not believe in what was claimed as sincere hearts.

"Alright, alright, the hour is getting late. Let’s go," Wenren Qingqiu said, still feeling that running out of money due to gluttony was very embarrassing. He urged them to leave quickly, fearing the disciples would learn of his mishap if they stayed much longer.

"Senior Wenren, please wait. It’s not often we have the honor of your presence. We, the younger generation, have not yet shown the proper hospitality. At the very least, let us treat you to lunch before you go. We will prepare a great meal of chicken legs to suit every taste," Mu Hanyan, seeing what Wenren Qingqiu was worried about, did not detain him, but Mu Nan, unaware of these concerns, earnestly offered.

"Yes, yes, please stay for lunch before you leave," Qu Shanling also said eagerly.

You wouldn’t know by looking at his two disciples, who boasted to the skies, that when it came to status and ranking, he truly could not compare to a Holy Dragon Master. He was eager for the chance to share a drink and good company with Wenren Qingqiu, which could raise his own status significantly.

"Eat lunch? Oh, yes, yes!" Wenren Qingqiu’s eyes lit up, expressing joy like a child. Just thinking about a big table full of chicken legs of various flavors made his mouth water.

Mu Hanyan chuckled to himself: a feast of chicken legs, Mu Nan sure came up with an odd one. But it hit right home with this Holy Dragon Master. Look at his eyes practically shining.

"Master, there are several junior disciples still waiting for us. Let’s head back first, so they don’t worry. We can have lunch on the road," Ye Fengyun suggested.

"Yes, Master, we have been looking for you for several days, missing you dearly. There’s a lot we want to talk to you about. Why don’t we eat and talk on the road?" a young girl cooed.
