Chapter 74: Sleeping Together (1/2)
Once Elder Jing left the disciples alone, Elder Pao Huang stood up and glared at Yang Wei and Lian Xinyue.
”You two, tell me what that sweet fragrance is emitting from the inside.” Elder Pao Haung raised his finger at them and demanded an explanation.
If it weren't for that sweet fragrance that agitated his stomach in wanting some food, he wouldn't have been scolded by Elder Jing.
Not to mention, if the sect failed to obtain anything useful in the Pagoda because of his negligence then the sect leader would definitely punish him.
Yang Wei and Lian Xinyue glanced at each other, speechless because the main culprit is right in front of him.
Although it was Yang Wei that was cooking the beggar chicken, it was due to Lian Xinyue's insistence for another piece of chicken that caused Elder Pao Huang to resort to hunting magical beasts and cooking them.
”Hmph, why are you two staying silent?” Elder Pao Huang yelled.
He knew that sweet fragrance cannot be from Elder Jing otherwise, she wouldn't have scolded him so harshly in front of the other disciples.
Thus, he concluded it was Yang Wei's fault but he didn't dare to point him out directly since his relationship with Elder Jing remains a mystery to him.
Elder Pao Huang needed to salvage his face from the previous humiliation so he could only try to be clever in his speech to get Yang Wei to admit his mistake given the fact that he is a senior and a sect elder.
Lian Xinyue tugged on Yang Wei's sleeve and sent him a mental transmission, ”Elder Pao Huang is looking at you for a scapegoat to save his face.”
Yang Wei nodded his head slightly at her kind reminder. 'Sigh, being a junior means you must admit the mistake even if it's not your fault.'
As Yang Wei prepared to explain that it was his fault, Elder Jing's voice suddenly echoed to them.
”Come inside already, Yang Wei!”
Yang Wei brightened up and thanked Elder Jing inwardly as he cupped his fist and bowed slightly to Elder Pao Huang.
”Apologies Elder Pao Huang, but Elder Jing is calling for me, and delaying any further will not do us any good.” Yang Wei said.
Lian Xinyue couldn't help but start giggling at Yang Wei's cheeky speech that is like a slap to Elder Pao Huang's face.
Elder Pao Huang wanted to fault Yang Wei yet Elder Jing is clearly saving Yang Wei so if he still dared to pursue this further then he would be offending Elder Jing again.
At that time, it wouldn't be over with a simple kneeling but a sect punishment rule on him that could possibly result in him being kicked out of the sect.
Elder Pao Huang took a deep breath before showing an awkward smile, ”Since Elder Jing is calling for disciple Yang Wei, then you must hurry up and not delay any further.”
Yang Wei thanked Elder Pao Huang politely and hurriedly fled the scene to meet up with Elder Jing.
