Chapter 174: Final Choice
How would the red faced old man be able to win against two of them? But, he was extremely unhappy to be dragged away. Thus, he shouted out, “I say, we have a mission here. We have not checked this sect master’s achievement!”
“Check your head! Doesn’t he only want to be transferred away? He pa.s.sed!” The bald old man shouted out.
“Get lost, you only stayed here for about an hour before returning. What have you checked? This is obviously neglecting your duties!” The red faced old man cried out angrily.
“I can prove that he had checked!” The bearded old man shouted out, “According to the sect rules, as long as 2 of us agree, then he would pa.s.s! Now, 2 of us had checked and approved this sect master’s request! What can you do?”
The moment the red faced elder heard that, he was rendered speechless. He could not help but curse, “These two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, you two obviously just want to go back to drink the Dao Comprehending Tea to achieve a breakthrough. Now you are still trying to talk about logic!”
“Haha, serves you right, who asked you to be so petty!” The bald old man said with a laughter, “If you were generous, you would definitely have some returns as well!”
“Bulls.h.i.+t, the Five Element Robe is obviously worth more than your lightning talisman. It is just that that darn fatty cannot recognise a superior good thus choosing yours!” The red faced old man scolded in exasperation.
“Haha, its because you are too unlucky. Who else can you blame!” The bald old man laughed.
Following which, the 3 of their voices gradually became softer until it disappeared into the wilderness.
With the departure of these 3 troublemakers, Little Fatty wiped off his cold sweat and packed his things. Then he headed for the inner courts. He really wanted to know what exactly happened to the Dao Comprehending Tea which he gave to HongYing and why it was not bought by the seniors.
With this doubt in mind, Little Fatty flew to the sect master’s yard.
The first thing he saw the First Lady seated on a chair sighing with a depressed face. The sect master was consoling her by the side with HongYing having an indifferent look.
Seeing Little Fatty come in, the sect master immediately asked him, “Where are the 3 senior uncles?”
“They said they were returning to the sect!” answered Little Fatty.
“What? They returned already?” Hearing that, the sect master’s face displayed looks of shock, “Ai yah yah, this is bad. They must definitely be angry. I’m afraid this matter would be difficult to settle!”
“No no no!” Little Fatty quickly explained, “They were happy when they left. I heard their conversation when they were leaving. They said that your request is approved!”
“En?” As the sect master heard that, his eyes lit up and said, “But they did not even check anything and had only arrived here for an hour. How did we pa.s.s?”
“Hehe!” As Little Fatty heard that, he immediately said with a laughter, “Two of them managed to obtain the Dao Comprehending Tea from me. Thus, they happily went back to try and achieve a breakthrough. Naturally, they would let you pa.s.s!”
“Ah, so that’s the case!” The sect master immediately said with surprise, “Ai yah yah, pudgy boy. It is all thanks to you this time!”
“Hehe, you’re too polite. Actually, I made quite a bit of profit. Even the half pot of tea allowed me to get some treasures!” Little Fatty said with a smile. Then, he asked seriously, “Strange, you guys have a tael of Dao Comprehending Tea as well. Why didn’t you give it to them, forcing my pot of tea to become a treasure!”
As the First Lady heard that, her face turned pale as she was completely at a loss as to what to say.
However, HongYing was extremely straightforward and she said with a bitter laughter while rolling her eyes, “Ah, that tael of tea leaves was taken by my mother to wash her feet! When they entered, the Dao Comprehending Tea had already became leg was.h.i.+ng water~”
“Ah?~” As Little Fatty heard that, his face immediately changed colours. He just did not know what kind of an expression to have now.
The First Lady’s face then turned red as she stared fiercely at HongYing and scolded, “n.o.body will take you to be a mute if you don’t say anything!”
The sect master then glared fiercely at Little Fatty and said, “This matter better rot in your stomach. If I hear anything about it outside, I will brew all your fats into oil!”
“Yes yes!” Little Fatty knew that this was a big matter. It was just far too embarra.s.sing to be spread out. Thus, he hurriedly placated them, “Rest a.s.sured sect master, this disciple did not hear anything today!”
“En! It’s best that you did not!” The sect master then nodded and said, “Alright, let this matter rest! That tael of Dao Comprehending Tea was given out by you unknowingly. But, us husband and wife are still extremely grateful to you. Say, what do you want and we will try our best to satisfy it! You can consider that your reward!”
“Err, let’s just forget it!” Little Fatty said with a bitter laughter, “Anyway, I already have plenty of good things. Besides, if not for this event, I wouldn’t even know that it is the Dao Comprehending Tea and it would all be wasted by me! This disciple can be said to have benefited from an accident. How would I have the cheek to ask you for a reward! Just take it that I am being filial!”
