Chapter 60: Beggar Chicken (1) (2/2)
”You- I can't even believe you do this kind of thing. Do you know what would happen to you if your fellow disciples learned that you would rather catch some chicken instead of rushing to save their life?” Elder Jing asked after regaining her sense from his ridiculous explanation.
”Eh… I believe my fellow disciples would agree with my action. After all, we don't even know each other well so if the scenario was swapped and I was the one in danger then I am sure that they would not be willing to risk their lives to save mine.” Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.
He had no interest in saving them if it weren't for Elder Jing intent on saving their life for some reason. Also, Lian Xinyue was an exception since she could be considered his savior due to the fact that she gave up the mission of helping Elder Jing out.
Elder Jing rubbed her head slightly as she needed to take some time to calm herself down.
”Sigh, I know you aren't one to open up to others but in the cultivation world, you must learn to have at least some friends that you can rely on otherwise when you get ganged up by others, no one would be there to save your life.” Elder Jing said slowly, hoping that Yang Wei would understand her motive.
Sure, she has been betrayed once but it doesn't mean everyone who tried to be your friend would betray you.
”I understand your point, Elder Jing.” Yang Wei replied calmly while being careful with his tone in case he opened up her wound again.
Elder Jing wanted to care for Yang Wei and at the same time, Yang Wei didn't want Elder Jing to worry about others and focus on relaxing herself.
He may seem like a youth but he was not ignorant to the point where he believed the world to be all rainbows and colorful.
Not willing to waste any more time, Yang Wei grabbed some lotus leaves that he picked up from the herb garden to start wrapping around the chicken.
Elder Jing was spectating the process in silence with a smile hanging on her face. However, her expression soon changed when she saw something outrageous happening.
”YANG WEI!” Elder Jing shouted.
Yang Wei shuddered and almost dropped the chicken for her sudden outburst.
Yang Wei turned his head around to glance at Elder Jing and asked softly, ”What happened, Elder Jing?”
Elder Jing's face darkened as she pointed at the chicken that Yang Wei was holding and asked solemnly, ”Why are you placing the dirt all around the lotus leaves? How can the chicken still be eaten when it's covered in dirt?”
Yang Wei was rendered speechless as he recalled telling her that it's going to be a surprise and an amazing dish that she will ever taste.
”I told you, I'm going to make my hometown specialty, beggar chicken.” Yang Wei said with a serious face.
