Chapter 158 Immortal Lord, stop flirting, be careful of your... (XII)
Han Xiao nodded, not quite understanding: "No wonder."
At this moment, Huang Shulan beside her suddenly bent her elbow and nudged her shoulder, saying in surprise, "Hey hey! Look, isn't that our Master?"
Han Xiao put down the ice-sculpted flower, looked in the direction of the other person's finger, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
They saw their master, who had an elegant face and a noble figure, sitting without any image on the doorstep of a shop not far away, holding a black chestnut in his hand, peeling and eating it.
The fat shopkeeper next to him was even more surprised. He held a black jar of wine and handed it forward with an eager look on his face.
"Sir, you can tell so much just by looking at my face. Could you help me calculate when I will get rich?"
Then his master avoided answering, took the wine jar with a profound look on his face, opened the red seal and smelled the aroma of the wine.
The shopkeeper blinked and turned around politely: "Look at my memory, I even forgot to get a cup for you..."
Yu Huo raised his hand and stopped the other person with a smile: "Don't bother, boss. What kind of cup do you need to drink from? Are you being pretentious?"
After saying this, he proudly raised the wine jar and took a sip, then wiped his chin with his thin sleeve and said, "Good wine!"
The handsome man was wrapped in the biting cold wind, but he didn't feel miserable at all. His clothes were rustling in the wind, which made him look lonely and unruly, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Yu Huo smacked his lips, glanced at the fat shopkeeper beside him, who looked expectantly. He squinted his eyes and looked at her carefully for a while before saying, "You have a smooth complexion, pearly ears, a large mouth, a square face, a strong beard, and a round chin. You will be prosperous in your later years. Don't worry, you have the face that means you will be poor first and rich later. Maybe in a few days you will inherit your family business and rise to the top in one step."
The shopkeeper was completely baffled: "But my family doesn't have much money, so how can I inherit this family fortune?"
In fact, if this person had said this at the beginning, he would definitely not believe it, but since the other party had talked a lot before, and even knew that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, he had to believe it.
Because of the local custom of keeping pregnancy secret for the first three months, he never told anyone else about this except his son and the old couple. Even the pulse was taken by his son who was an apprentice in a clinic. Naturally, no outsiders knew about it and had no way of finding out.
He was a little skeptical, but the young man in front of him was particularly confident: "Just wait, at least three days, at most a month, there will be a huge fortune waiting for you."
The shopkeeper was overjoyed. He turned around and pulled out two more jars of wine from the cellar. "Alright, young master, your words are golden, and I believe them. Take this wine with you when you leave. Before I opened this chestnut shop, I was in the tavern business. I don't have much else at home, but I have plenty of wine! During your stay in Xuanbing Island, you can come and get some whenever you want."
Yu Huo's eyes lit up, and he took the wine into his arms without any hesitation: "Thank you very much, boss."
The two were talking and laughing, but Han Xiao and Huang Shulan over there slowly looked at each other.
"What's going on?" Huang Shulan asked.
Han Xiao sighed, "What else could it be? The Sect Leader wouldn't let our Master buy any wine, and he also rejected his proposal to steal or rob, so the only option left is to cheat."
Huang Shulan was puzzled and said, "Is this even possible? Master is indeed worthy of being Master."
The two people were whispering to each other, and Yu Huo's eyes flickered over and he instantly noticed these two conspicuous people.
He immediately spread out his palms and hooked his fingertips at them.
Han Xiao and Huang Shulan immediately stepped forward and called out with a smile, "Master."
Yu Huo raised his eyebrows, the smell of alcohol creeping up to the corners of his eyes: "Why did you two come out?"
"Come out for a stroll."
Yu Huo nodded. The fat shopkeeper beside him looked over curiously and interrupted, "Aren't you a wandering painter? How did you become the master of these two children?"
Yu Huo chuckled and didn't answer. He suddenly reached out and touched his sleeve, then took out the Qiankun bag and shook it, looking like he was looking for something but couldn't find it.
Han Xiao asked curiously, "Master, what are you looking for?"
Yu Huo pursed his lips and said, "I'm looking for your apprenticeship gift."
Han Xiao and Huang Shulan stared at him with shining eyes: "Master, have you prepared the gifts for us to become your disciples?"
Yu Huo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head honestly: "I'm not prepared."
“…”
Han Xiao curled his lips and snorted in disappointment: "Then what kind of apprenticeship gift are you looking for?"
Yu Huo picked up the wine jar, took another sip, and said perfunctorily, "Okay, I will prepare a gift for you tomorrow."
Huang Shulan pouted even more when she heard this: "That's what you said yesterday."
Han Xiao added: "The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the first day of my apprenticeship, you said the same thing. Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there?"
Yu Huo shrugged, looking like he had given up. "Since there are so many, why not delay it a bit?"
After saying this, he no longer paid attention to his two cheap apprentices, stood up lazily, and said goodbye to the fat shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, business is booming, I'll go back first."
The shopkeeper hadn't reacted yet, and subconsciously imitated him and waved his hand: "Goodbye, sir."
During this time, the disciple that person had found followed behind him. As they passed by, they heard them quietly complaining: "Master is so mean! It's been several days since we became his apprentices, and there's not even a hint of the apprenticeship ceremony. All he does is make empty promises to us every day!"
The shopkeeper understood immediately, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. "So this wandering painter only knows how to paint pie-in-the-sky pictures, right? Then when he said I could get rich, was he also just painting pie-in-the-sky pictures? What kind of person is he? Unlucky!"
The three masters and apprentices returned to the inn. Yu Huo said, "Go to bed early, we have to go to the secret realm tomorrow morning," and then he staggered back to the room carrying the jar of wine.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a figure lying on the edge of the table by the window.
Yu Huo turned around, locked the door tightly, and walked forward quietly.
Jiang Feng closed his eyes, and the afterglow of the setting sun rushed in through the window gap, splashing onto his long eyelashes and casting a thin shadow on his eyelids. This seemed to infinitely magnify the tiredness on his face, and there was a sense of being about to break apart, and people who saw it subconsciously couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
He raised his hand to push the window up, his gaze involuntarily falling back on the other person's fair profile, his Adam's apple rolling slightly.
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, the drunkenness on his head quickly catalyzed the many memories buried deep in his heart. He couldn't help but lean over and gave the other person a light kiss on the forehead.
The delicate skin is cool and passes to the corners of the mouth, like a fine wine that has been treasured for many years, rich and mellow.
A satisfied smile flashed in Yu Huo's fox eyes. He lifted his eyelids and his wandering gaze instantly fixed on the person who had opened his eyes at some point.
Yu Huo's breathing stagnated, and he suddenly felt helpless as if he had been caught doing something bad.
"Are you awake?"
Jiang Feng slowly sat up and touched his slightly hot forehead: "I didn't sleep at all."
“…”
Hearing this answer, Yu Huo was stunned: "Are you pretending?!"
The person in front of him shook his head innocently: "I'm not pretending, I'm just too tired these past two days, so I'm going to lie down for a while."
After hearing this, Yu Huo couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Someone else helped him take care of Ye Hanfeng's affairs, and someone else helped him train his disciples. Even his travels were arranged by someone else. Anyone would be tired!
Yu Huo looked away, his arrogance instantly dissipated by half, and he could only laugh dryly: "Then you can rest."
Just as he was about to slip away, the other party grabbed his wrist.
"You just kissed me, didn't you?"
