1473 The Little Old Man 3 (1/2)

Jun Wu Xie swept a sidelong glance at the old man and raised up her own bottle of medicine to wave it before the old man's eyes.

”I concocted this myself.”

The old man's eyeballs very nearly popped out of his head.

[That medicine was made by that little kid? How was that possible!]

”You have nothing there that I can use. I'll be going.” Jun Wu Xie really wasn't in the mood to chat any longer with this eccentric little old man. With a flick of her hand she tossed her own bottle of medicine to that little old man and Jun Wu Xie then lifted her foot to go about on her own way.

The little old man caught the bottle deftly and was left in his spot a little stunned, to stare after Jun Wu Xie's quickly disappearing back.

Suddenly, a flurry of hurried footsteps came floating in from within the forest. The little old man who had been stunned in his spot quickly repressed the surprise on his face and his gaze grew deep as he looked towards the man that was just stepping out from between the trees.

”Why had my Lord come down the mountain again?” The man asked highly helplessly when he saw the little old man.

The little old man carefully placed Jun Wu Xie's bottle of medicine deep into his robes and then turned to the man to say: ”What? I can't even come out to take a walk around? Moreover, I have only come down to the mid sections and it is not as if I have left the mountain. What are you getting so panicked about?”

The man repeatedly went yes yes yes, his gaze drawn to the scattered medicinal bottles on the ground.

”My Lord, you've….. been out here testing out the your medicines again?” The man asked very carefully.

The little old man's face immediately stiffened and grew dark.

”Will I need you to tell me how to handle my own affairs?”

”No, of course not!”

”Pick all these up for me. Hurry up!” The little old man snapped testily, recalling how Jun Wu Xie had disparagingly snubbed his ”works of art” and his face quickly felt a burn spread over his face.
