30 Serpents Conviction (1/2)

Class had ended and Xin Fan headed towards the school gates for Jun Fan. As one would expect, Chilong and Tianfei followed behind.

”Where are we going today?”

”I don't know. We'll see.”

They waited for quite a while until Jun Fan finally showed up. When he arrived, he was confused at the presence of two additional people.

”Umm. Xin Fan, why are these two here?”

”Oh. They are tagging along. You said it was your treat right? I might as well take them too.”

Jun Fan chuckled nervously. He was going to take Xin Fan to somewhere quite expensive. Now he was starting to regret it. He could already imagine his wallet becoming much lighter.

”Oh its Teacher Jun! Hey where are you going to take us?”

Tianfei cycled around Jun Fan,smiling like hyena. If she was going to get a free meal, she might as well make the most worth out of it.

”Hahaha...I...It's going to be somewhere nice.”

Jun Fan nervously chuckled as he unconsciously moved his hand to his wallet. He slapped his face to regain composure.

It's your own fault for not thinking this through. Deal with It.

”Okay. I did make reservations at 'Dragon and Tiger' this morning. We will eat there for dinner. But first, Xin Fan. The principal asked me to take you somewhere. You two can follow.”

Jun Fan lead the three through the city. He went along a side path far from the main road. through a series of alleyways, Jun Fan stopped at an inconspicuous shop. Overhead read the sign 'Jin Weapon Crafts'. Jun Fan knocked three times on the door before waiting. After around a minute has passed, he knocked twice. The doors automatically opened and they were able to enter.

An old man was reclining on a rocking chair while chugging a gourd of alcohol. He was dressed in just a white vest and blue shorts. His face was flushed and he seemed quite unstable.

”Oh! It's Jun boy. It's good to ..hic... see you again.”

The old man stood up and slowly wobbled over to Jun Fan. Even from 5 meters away, Xin Fan could smell the stench from the alcohol. The old man patted Jun Fan on the chest before laughing.

”Jun boy. You should stand straight...hic...With a posture like that, it's not wonder you are still single. kakaka.”

”Uncle Jin...there are children.”

”Whoops my bahhhd.”

The old man wobbled around before he stumbled back into the chair. Jun Fan sighed as he watched the old man attempting to make himself more presentable. Why of all times is he drunk now? I thought he quit alcohol.

”Sir I am here to show these kids around.”

”Ahaha feeel free!”

Jun Fan turned around slightly embarrassed by the situation.

”As you can see, this is a workshop. I know that metal weapons are forbidden and all but you should buy some. It may come in handy outside of school grounds.”
