C107 (2/2)
Mu Qin wiped her oily mouth and ran back to her room to take out the medicine box. Lu JinNian had already disappeared without a trace, along with Ya Xiong.
She shook her head helplessly. Even if Lu JinNian didn't say anything, she still knew where she was going.
”...”
Most of the building materials used by the Howling Tiger Martial Arts School were made of wood. Those who had just started training in martial arts would inevitably have a lack of sense of propriety. Wooden items that were too heavy could also give a certain amount of buffer and reduce damage.
But because it was made of wood, the fire spread faster.
The south side of the city had its back against the mountain. The cold wind blew in the night, and the fire spread faster. Before long, the dojo was burnt into ruins.
The collapsed building was almost burnt into charcoal, black smoke was still floating on the still warm wood. A few dirty-looking people used a cart to move the burnt wood on the ruins piece by piece.
Lu JinNian frowned and waved his hand to stop one of the carts. He said to the person on the cart, ”Little brother, I heard that there was a fire last night. The situation is very serious. I wonder how is everyone in the dojo doing?”
”Eh? ”Miss, so it's you.” The person on the cart wiped his face, ”You came to our dojo yesterday, and your people even fought with our senior. I know you.”
”So you are a disciple of the dojo. I have offended you yesterday, but why did the dojo suddenly catch fire?” Has your head and your martial brothers in the dojo been injured? ”
”Miss is too polite, they were more or less injured, but that was because they were incapable. The head said long ago that they would pack their luggage and move to another place, but they just dawdled and only cleaned up when the fire started. It would be weird if they weren't injured!”
Hearing that it was only an injury, Lu JinNian was relieved. The reason the crown prince attacked the Howling Tiger Martial School was because she had followed the dojo's lead to find the crown prince and make a ruckus in his residence.
She was the direct descendant of the Great General's Estate. If the Crown Prince wanted to seek revenge on her, he would have to consider his status. However, there was no power behind the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School and the little beggar, so he decided to vent his anger on them.
In any case, it had all been her fault. She had overestimated Xiao Yi's narrow-mindedness and tolerance.
”Little brother, you said your head told you to clean up early? ”From what you're saying, the head already guessed that there would be a fire?”
The little brother laughed, ”Miss, what are you talking about? Our head isn't an immortal, it's just that he was preparing to move a few days ago, it's just a coincidence this time.”
No matter what, Lu JinNian was assured, ”I wonder where your head is right now. Little brother, it's not convenient for you to introduce me.”
The little brother hurriedly nodded, ”Miss, please wait for a moment, I will take this cart of charcoal with me.”
”Charcoal?” Lu Jinsheng raised his eyebrows as he looked at the burnt black wood. It was true that a large portion of the wood had turned into charcoal, but there were still many that hadn't burned through …
”Cough cough, we are taking them to a place that sells charcoal for money, the charcoal merchants still need to process more.” Cough cough, we are taking them to a place that sells charcoal for money, the charcoal merchants still need to process more.
As the sound of the cart faded away, Lu Jinniang who was standing by the side of the road suddenly sighed with emotion, ”I thought I was simple enough. I didn't think that there would be someone more stingy than me. It's just too scary.”
Ye Xiong, who had followed Lu JinNian all the way here, was still standing on the side indifferently. However, the corner of his mouth twitched when he heard Lu JinNian. He was only using trash with the head of the school.
