VOLUME 10 CHAPTER 58: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE SECOND VISIT TO THE THATCHED COTTAGE (7)
Liu Bei POV
“Of course not.” I frowned and resigned myself to a long drawn-out discussion before I could get any answers, “Shouldn’t there have been others who would come to seek out Kong Ming as well?”
“Ah~ No, no, no.”
“You mean, that’s impossible.”
When I finished, s.h.i.+ Guang Yuan and Meng Gong Wei waved their hands dismissively as they denied what I said.
“Eh? What do you mean?”
“Ah…” s.h.i.+ Guang Yuan who had been giving glib replies in quickfire succession the whole time suddenly paused and seemed to be stumped as to how she ought to reply, “Let me ask you first. Teacher Shuijing and Yuan Zhi, and Zhou Ping as well, did they give you their views on Kong Ming?”
“Yes they did.” I nodded as I thought back to what they said, “Teacher Shuijing and Yuan Zhi said Zhuge Liang is someone who was difficult to figure out, that they couldn’t understand what she was thinking or saying many times. As for Cui Zhou Ping… She said Zhuge Liang is very cute.”
“Un un,” s.h.i.+ Guang Yuan listened closely and nodded, “That is more or less it. If you combine what they told you about her, that’s a pretty accurate image of Kong Ming herself.”
“Undeniably so.” Meng Gong Wei nodded.
“So what does this have to do with the question I asked?”
“Aiya, you still don’t understand even after this much?”
What a silly feudal lord. She did not say that but I could see that in her eyes.
“To put it simply, we have never seen any feudal lord come to seek Kong Ming.”
“Eh? Really?”
“Yes. Though Teacher Shuijing and Master Pang De have tries many times, Kong Ming has never left to follow any feudal lord.”
It sounds as though they are trying to marry off their daughter or something…
“And the reason why that is so is because of the 2 characteristics of Zhuge Liang I mentioned before right? No, to be more precise, the first reason right?”
The 2 hermits nodded.
“But at the same time,” s.h.i.+ Guang Yuan replied as she looked up at me, “Kong Ming’s mind is definitely more brilliant than ours so you needn’t worry about that. As is s.h.i.+ Yuan’s.”
s.h.i.+ Yuan… Ah, it’s Pang Tong. Really, do not just use their courtesy names so casually like that. Even I find myself lost frequently enough.
“So if you really have fate with her, enough to whisk Kong Ming away from here, that means that Lord Liu Bei is truly benevolent and virtuous, enough to awaken the Crouching Dragon.”
“Hahaha, well put Gong Wei, well put.”
“No, please don’t exaggerate it.”
It sounds like you are just being sarcastic, especially when you are guffawing like that.
“The food is here~~~” Just then, the waiter came out from the kitchen with 4 plates in hand. Even though it was supposedly cheap dishes, I was completely floored by them. Be it the aesthetics or the smell, all the dishes look very delicious.
“Why did they have to bring them out now of all times…” Yun Chang mumbled as she gulped.
“You want to have some?”
“No, no, no, let’s not.” Yun Chang hurriedly shook her head and turned my offer down as she closed her eyes.
“But this is a waste of good food.” I said as I looked at the food on the table and then remembered s.h.i.+ Guang Yuan and Meng Gong Wei, “Ah, why don’t you have this food?”
&ldq
uo;Eh? Can we?”
“We only came here to drink… It’s Guang Yuan’s weird habit.”
“Weren’t you enjoying it too?” s.h.i.+ Guang Yuan frowned as she stared at Meng Gong Wei before edging her chair closer to the table and picking up some chopsticks.
“Well then, many thanks, Lord Liu Bei.”
“Many danksh Lad Liu Bei!”
Do not speak while you are eating.
“No need to thank me. I should be thankful to you both, in various ways.”
