Chapter 189.2: Dying Flash (2/2)
“The wound and the cutting tools must be cleaned. Ah Shu has gone back to his hometown. Hurry up and go!” Cang Baicao urged impatiently. Afterwards, he slammed the door shut without waiting for Su Yi’s reaction.
Su Yi rubbed his nose. He sensed Bai Luoqing looking at him with a strange expression and immediately escaped to the kitchen to start boiling water.
Who asked the person that was injured to be his precious disciple?
Bai Luoqing looked meaningfully at the closed door, then followed Su Yi to the kitchen.
“City Lord Su.”
“You saw as well. I’m currently very busy, I don’t have the time to chat with you so Bai Family Head, you should just head back!” Su Yi pulled the box bellow and told Bai Luoqing to go home without even bothering to look at her.
However, it hadn’t been easy for Bai Luoqing to finally meet Su Yi. How could she possibly be willing to return just like that? She walked over with a smile. “I just wanted to ask if City Lord Su needed me to help with anything. I didn’t have any other intentions.”
Su Yi wanted to say, it’d be a huge help if you just leave.
However, as the proverbs say, it would be better to offend a petty person than a woman, so he silently started the fire before saying, “It’s just boiling water, there’s not much to help with. Many thanks for Bai Family Head’s good intentions.”
“I never would have thought that City Lord Su, with your respected status, would still be so familiar with kitchen matters…” Bai Luoqing watched as Su Yi swiftly started the fire then started pouring the water. All his movements were smooth and fluid as if he had often done them.
What was strange about it? Countless people that looked impressive outside Cloud City would have to do everything themselves once they came to Cloud City. This was because the quota on the number of people allowed into Cloud City every year was very strict so barely anyone in Cloud City had servants to wait upon them.
After residing a long time in Cloud City without breaking the rules and after accumulating reputation and prestige points, one could recruit within Cloud City for residents who were willing to work as servants. Cang Baicao’s Ah Shu was the person he had spent fifty thousand reputation points to recruit as a helper to help him take care of the medicinal plants he grew. If Cang Baicao wanted Ah Shu to help look after his meals, he’d have to spend even more reputation and prestige points.
Moreover, he even had to arrange for reasonable resting times and vacation days for Ah Shu. In brief, in Cloud City, this sort of place, the City Lord was the only one that had a slightly higher position. Everyone else had the same status. Even if you were very amazing, in the eyes of the people in Cloud City, you were the same as them.
Su Yi was originally preparing to write all this on the Cloud City announcements, but he encountered an urgent matter right after he returned to the City Lord Residence and ended up having to put it off.
What Bai Luoqing said earlier caused him to recall this matter. More and more people were entering Cloud City so he had to hurry and announce all the rules and regulations.
However, he currently couldn’t leave this place…
As he thought about all this, he looked towards Bai Luoqing.
