Vol 8 Chapter 75 (2/2)

Those 3 idiots have begun to tire and slowed down. From this distance, I can clearly see beads of sweat on their faces.

“Lord Zhao Yun… What’s the problem…” Zhou Cang actually still had the breath to ask.

“No, it’s nothing.” Zi Long’s smile remained plastered on her face as she replied. She then looked about before pointing at a spot, “Chen Dao, this spot will do.”

“Alright.” Chen Dai said as she carried the stuff over and placed the lounging chair down before sticking the umbrella at the side. She even set up a small square table beside and placed the wooden pail on top.

“Zi Long, this is?” I asked as I pointed at the wooden pail.

“Un? You don’t know?” Zi Long smiled as she replied. I exchanged glances with Yun Chang who only shrugged in response.

“Un, apparently, we don’t. What’s up?”

“There’s a well in the back, a really deep one.” Zi Long said as she scooped up some water out of the pail and drank it with gusto, “Un, it’s really nice and cool.”

“Eh?! There’s such a thing!” Zhou Cang immediately stopped when she heard this.

“Wu!”

“Ah!”

Guan Ping and Mi Zhen who were just behind her weren’t able to stop fast enough, or perhaps they were dizzy from the heat, and crashed into Zhou Cang.

“Ah! It’s so hot!”

As I expected, the moment all of them stopped, the heat hit them like a truck. Immediately after they got up, they ran to the back, probably for the well.

“Hai… Zhou Cang and Guan Ping really are…”

“No, Zhou Cang and Guan Ping are really reliable.”

Yun Chang was clearly dismayed at such a disgraceful showing by her 2 subordinates but to me, there’s no issue at all. In fact, I actually think it’s rather funny and I do think they are reliable from the bottom of my heart.

“By the way, Guan Ping’s skills seem pretty good. Have you been training her during this time?”

“Ah, yes. Guan Ping is naturally talented– But wait, how did big brother know? Have you seen her in action?”

“Un… In pa.s.sing.”

I can’t possibly say that I saw Guan Ping actually kill someone with ease. That said, I recall Guan Ping being rather excited about her accomplishment but she didn’t tell Yun Chang. Perhaps Liao Hua told her not to.

“Well then, big brother, let’s go to the well as well. It is indeed rather hot here after all.” Yun Chang said as she stood up. I looked at her and saw that she was sweating profusely, so much so that her clothes were practically sticking to her skin.

“Go on then, you two. Lord Lu Bu and the rest are playing with the water from the well.” Zi Long smiled as she said so, “Go and join in as well. When I left, Liao Hua and Chen Gong were thoroughly soaked.

— Xuan De should go enjoy himself too.

At the end, she gave this ambiguous sentence.

“Un, I’m not going, I have to go out for a bit.”

Though playing with water is a very excellent choice, I have more important things to attend to for now.
