Chapter 312 All Right, I Will Do I (1/2)

t

As a matter of fact, Lin Su did know the reason why Qin Sheng had cooked for her and watched her having dinner today.

Because it was unknown when they could meet each other after they said goodbye this time. She did not want to complain at all. All she could do was accompany Qin Sheng in experiencing the last peaceful moment. Instead of being a burden on him and making him feel anxious for her, she would help him exert his great efforts to face the difficulty this time. She believed that their story would not come to an end easily.

Lin Su still ate in a quite delicate manner. She chewed carefully and swallowed slowly in a charming way, making people feel that eating was a kind of performance art. She tried her best to enjoy every dish since this was the best dinner she had enjoyed so far. When Qin Sheng was not paying attention to her, she took advantage of the opportunity to wipe away her tears silently. She did not want to cry in front of Qin Sheng. If she did so, Qin Sheng would feel concerned and sorry for her.

However hungry they were, it was not possible for them to finish 10 dishes on their own. Qin Sheng only ate a bowl of rice. Previously, Lin Su had been capable of finishing half a bowl of rice. But she finished two bowls of rice in the end even though she was already full. She simply did not want to waste the fancy dinner that Qin Sheng had cooked specifically for her.

After Lin Su finished sipping the last mouthful of soup, she put down the bowl and said satisfactorily, “I am fully stuffed.”

Qin Sheng handed a tissue to Lin Su and chuckled as he said, “Go to watch a TV drama for a while. After I finish cleaning up the table, I will join you.”

Lin Su stood up in a hurry and said, “I will clean up the table since you have been occupied all afternoon.”

Qin Sheng teased her smilingly. “Be obedient. You need to rest yourself for a few days.”

Upon hearing what Qin Sheng had said, Lin Su felt shy instantly. Her face blushed. She covered her face and ran away…

In the evening, affected by the cold air from the north, the temperature on Mount Putuo plunged dramatically all of a sudden. In addition, the sea wind howled continuously. Third Master Wu, who had been living in the small yard on Mount Putuo, suffered from rheumatism again, which had tortured him for a long time. He dared not go outside at all. He had no choice but to turn up the heater. As people got old, they would fear the cold more.

It was quite cold in late autumn this year and the coldness had hit Mount Putuo much earlier than in previous years. Back when it was early winter in previous years, Third Master Wu had set out to Sanya to pass the winter or gone back to Hangzhou and stayed there till spring came. All in all, he definitely would not stay on Mount Putuo throughout the winter.

Luo Changgong just arrived at Mount Putuo after rushing all the way from Hangzhou. He was quite surprised that the Old Master had called him over all of a sudden. He had an odd feeling that the reason why the Old Master had called him over definitely was related to Qin Sheng. After all, the most interesting thing going on in Hangzhou in the past two days was that Qin Sheng had offended both the Qu Family and the Yan Family. Could it be that the Old Master planned to give Qin Sheng a hand and help him out? Well, it was not reasonable for the Old Master to do so. However, it would make sense if somebody had convinced him.

Since it was completely impossible for Master Liu and Cao Da to convince the Old Master, only the Xue Family could do that…

In the small yard of Mount Putuo, though there were only a few servants and bodyguards, all of them were Third Master Wu’s trusted subordinates, who had been by his side for many years, especially the one named Tiger Man, who followed Third Master Wu like a shadow and was claimed to be ranked among the top three positions. As for the other bodyguards, they had been hand-picked by Third Master Wu himself. The servants had been brought here from Hangzhou.

By the time Luo Changgong walked into the yard, a middle-aged man, who had been by Third Master Wu’s side for many years, had been waiting for him there. Luo Changgong walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Chu, why did the Third Master call me over here?”

The family name of the middle-aged man was Chu. His name was Sikong. He was addressed respectfully as Mr. Chu by all the people on Third Master Wu’s side, who turned out to be Third Master Wu’s favorite. Whoever dared to offend Mr. Chu would probably have no choice but to abdicate his position and give it to better ones. Mr. Chu’s words worked better than the Third Master’s words sometimes. Consequently, everybody was reverent and respectful to Mr. Chu.

Mr. Chu, who was dressed in a down jacket, smiled happily as he said, “Lao Luo, you will figure it out once you are inside. It is neither a good thing nor a bad one. Whether it is good or bad will depends on how you make the choice.”

Every circle had its own sects. It was also true with Third Master Wu’s circle. However, Mr. Chu was polite to everybody. Never would he take sides selectively. That was also the reason why Third Master Wu trusted him so much.

Upon hearing that Third Master Wu had called him over for neither a good thing nor a bad thing, Luo Changgong felt more puzzled. With mixed feelings in his heart, he followed Mr. Chu into Third Master Wu’s study room. At this time, Third Master Wu was reading a book related to those royal censors and imperial censors in the Ming dynasty.

After Luo Changgong entered the study, he said reverently and respectfully, “Third Master.”

Upon hearing the voice, Third Master Wu said directly without ever lifting up his head, “You are here. Come over and have a seat.”

Luo Changgong was not as sophisticated as some people. Sometimes when it came to dealing with issues, it was true that he would be impatient. It was especially true when it came to the current situation. Consequently, he spoke up directly and said, “Third Master, why did you ask me to come here?”

“Oh. Here is the thing. Someone intends to cooperate with us now. However, to get it done, we need to help them with one thing first. I would like to assign the task to you.” Third Master Wu knew Luo Changgong’s temperament quite well. Of course, he knew his trusted subordinates quite well since he had trained them step by step on his own.

Luo Changgong replied directly without any hesitation, “Third Master, feel free to assign whatever tasks. I will get them done according to your order.”
