C136 (1/2)

If we reach the same height, perhaps we might not be friends, but our greatest enemy. Just like Qiu Xuan and I before, people who are too good at scheming are not suited to be confidants.

I am curious, Chengtian is not satisfied. Of course, he is not completely aware of my secret. At the very least, he is completely unaware of the absolute thing.

With Chengtian's strength, I believe that the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Celestial Sect of Wonders will not pose any threat to me. But I need to worry about him, as the Immortal Emperor, will he give me the time to grow stronger than him?

”When are you going to start making a mess?”

”No rush!”

The tea was already cold. I poured it out and made a fresh cup. It was fresh now, but it was very hot.

”Three years. Allow me to enjoy three more years of peace and a dream. After that, I will begin to lay down my plans.”

This battle will not only be a battle between the Sky Bearing Empire and the six great Immortal Emperors, it will also be a battle between me, Zhang Fugui, and fate!

Cheng Tian left. Before he left, he gave me a jade slip the size of his palm. He said that if I met with any real danger to my life, he would save me for an unlimited number of times.

Following the withdrawal of the array, Du Xiang and Elder Bai also left with Cheng Tian. Du Xiang was called Duan Tian, Duan Tianyi, didn't this conflict with the name of Cheng Tian? Did Cheng Tian not mind?

”Sergei? They left? Who are they? ”

Facing Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhan's questions, I shook my head and smiled, not replying them. ”He's not here to do business with me. If you follow me, you should be able to find out about them one day.”

”Oh, then what kind of business does the resident do?”

”What we did, was our lives …”

”Hmm?” ”Life?” Small Tribulation asked curiously.

”Let's not talk about it anymore. After talking for so long, I'm already hungry. What has Little Yu prepared for me today?”

”Today, I made sweet and sour fish. I learnt it from Immortal Drunken Wine's chef...”

I have lived like this for three years. I have always known that my heart isn't willing to be at peace. Xiao Bai doesn't like this kind of life. But I also didn't expect that I would be so impatient. After three years, I would once again return to this unclear world. Just as I said, I will have another three years of dreams.

Every day, I would once again return to Immortal Drunken Wine. Occasionally, I would drink with Manager Qian and joke around with him, but he would come over to my place from time to time to make a fool out of himself, even saying that I had lost Whitey and couldn't cure him at all. Thus, Qian Duan'er and I had no choice but to do something about it. But Xiao Ji and Xiao Yu seemed to like him a lot, because every time he came, he would bring a few small gifts for Xiao Ji and Xiao Yu. Until one day he got too drunk and told me that he wanted his son to marry Little Yu when he grew up, and now that he's got a crush on the two of them, he can save a lot of money on the betrothal gift. After that, I told Tribulation and Little Yu in a very unkind tone. After that, they didn't deal with Shopkeeper Qian and the innocent Qian Duan'er anymore, so Shopkeeper Qian had no choice but to give up in the end.

The next year, when Little Yu turned 15, his neighbors, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's children were all married. Their target was the Li family's daughter who lived on the opposite street. Uncle Zhang and the others also followed my advice when the wandering souls were in a state of chaos. They sold bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and all kinds of knitwear.

However, a few days ago, Aunt Zhang actually came running to the door with a red face and asked Mingyuan why. As a result, the Guo family, who was involved in the jade business at the end of the street, sent a matchmaker. The son of the Guo family was a single son, and was already in his prime.

I asked Little Yu with a smile, but he just turned away and ran back to his room, closing the door behind him.

”Aunt Zhang, look. Little Yu doesn't agree either. I'll trouble you to go back and inform him that Little Yu can't get into this marriage. It's better if he finds another good person.”

”Ai!” Aunt Zhang let out a long sigh, ”Ah!” and called out: ”Justices, do you have any girls that you like? I can …” I forgot you couldn't see it. ”How about this, I'll pick one for you, Aunt Zhang. With your looks and status, who of the girls on the street isn't willing?”

I bitterly smiled. ”Aunt Zhang, I'm just a storyteller. Where did I get my status from? It's better not to delay the other family's young lady.”

”Eh, that's exactly what I'm saying. If that child of mine is a girl, I'll definitely let him marry you. How about this, when I get back, I'll help you pick out a lady with both the zither and painting skills and a virtuous and dignified character. I'll leave it to you to be satisfied.”

”Hehe, Aunt Zhang, when did you change your career to become a Red Maiden? Let's talk about my matters in the future.”

”Jushi, you're not young anymore. You should consider getting married and setting up your own business. Although Xuan City is not big, with tens of thousands of families, you will still be satisfied.”

”Aunt Zhang, this …”

The door opened with a bang, and Little Yu angrily bellowed, ”We will decide our own matters, there's no need for outsiders to worry about it!”

Not only Aunt Zhang, even I was confused. When had Little Yu become so angry?

”Little Yu, quickly apologize to Aunt Zhang!”

Hearing my stern voice, Little Yu cried out and ran back to the room and slammed the door.

”Aunt Zhang, I'm really sorry. I'll tell you about her later.”

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang was not angry in the slightest. She even laughed and said, ”Jushi, I was just being nosy. It seems like there's no need to trouble yourself about your marriage.”

”What does Aunt Zhang mean?”

”It's no big deal. My house is still busy, so I'll be leaving first. Tell me when we're having the wedding wine. My wife and I will definitely be there!”

Somehow, hearing the sound of Aunt Zhang's footsteps receding, I turned my head and said, ”Little Ji, go and advise your elder sister.”

”I'm not going. I'm going. You go by yourself …”

”Hey, you little bastard!”

I helplessly arrived in front of Little Yu's door. Just as I was about to knock on the door, I suddenly had a bad premonition. After hesitating for a moment, I decided not to knock on the door anymore and slowly turned around to leave.

Could it be that Little Yu has fallen for me?

Afterwards, it was as if nothing had happened between us. We should eat, eat, and chat. However, my heart was no longer as calm as it seemed on the surface.
