Chuanwu, who was inside carrying a wooden bucket to help put out the fire, froze.
The manufacturing camp was not far from the Second Prince's residence, and all the people from the manufacturing camp came to help after the fire broke out.
Chuanwu felt guilty for having swindled 100 gold coins from the Second Prince, so he worked harder than others to put out the fire.
Upon hearing his younger sister's thoughts, he looked around to see if there was a back door. He thought it best to slip away first!
Outside the gate, Chuanwen felt that his brother was wrong to lie, but he was even more speechless at the Second Prince for not being able to recognize even leeks.
Only a rich landlord's foolish son would do something like buying a bunch of chives for a hundred gold coins!
Chuanwen looked at the Second Prince with the same pity he would show for the landlord's foolish son.
This guy is the epitome of someone who's rich but foolish!
Thinking about it, Chuanwen felt quite sorry for the Sixth Prince. They were both princes, but their lives were worlds apart. Refining pills was much more expensive than buying birds, but the Sixth Prince had to borrow clothes to enter the palace to see the Emperor even when he bought a bird, while the Second Prince had a whole room full of pills and mountains of gold and silver.
So being born into the right family is a skill, huh? Who can blame him when that idiot's uncle is rich!
In Chuanwen's words, the Second Prince was practically a fool.
The Second Prince, who was still grinning foolishly because the elixir wouldn't burn, was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that Chuanwen's heartfelt words were always directed at him.
Who's an idiot?
What are chives? He bought a rare herb for 100 gold!
He may have a lot of money, but he's not stupid!
The Second Prince decided to ignore Chuanwen's thoughts and focus on waiting for the fire to be extinguished so he could see his Great Soul Pill.
The Second Prince couldn't wait to get his Great Soul Pill. Although it hadn't been forty-nine days yet, his Great Soul Pill was sure to be glowing, waiting for him to pick it up from the charred rubble.
If he could see the emperor's expression, he would know that what awaited him was not a gleaming Soul Pill, but a slap in the face from the emperor.
Chuanwu never found the back door, but he did find a dog hole under a wall that hadn't been burned.
Looking up, Chuanwu saw that everyone was frantically putting out the fire on the other side and no one was coming to his side, so he crouched down and prepared to crawl out. At that moment, a pair of large hands grabbed his belt and pulled him back.
Chuanwu was shocked and frightened, thinking he was about to be arrested. When he turned around, he saw that it was actually Tang Fengxing, the master he had just become a disciple of yesterday!
Tang Fengxing ignored him and went straight out. Chuanwu looked back and, thankfully not being discovered, quickly followed suit.
The two men had just emerged when they met the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, whose trousers were already half-undone.
All three were startled and stared at each other with wide eyes.
"You, you all!"
The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies recognized them; one was a renowned manufacturer and gambler, and the other was the brother of the legendary creature.
But when did these two get together? And they even crawled out of the Second Prince's residence through a dog hole!
"Don't even mention you've seen us before!"
Tang Fengxing warned, then glanced at the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies hurriedly fastening his belt and said disdainfully, "To urinate and defecate anywhere, and you're still an official."
The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial was furious. He hadn't just wandered off anywhere! He'd deliberately hidden in this secluded grove! Who knew those two would crawl out through a dog hole here!
Tang Fengxing ignored his explanation and left gracefully. Chuanwu, who was behind him, looked at the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, whose face was red with shame and indignation, smiled awkwardly, and quickly followed his master.
He tricked the Second Prince, and he ran away through the dog hole, but why did his master do that?
Chuanwu asked his master in confusion, and just then Chuanwen's inner voice came through.
Good heavens, it wasn't just my brother who fooled that idiot, but also Tang Fengxing, the world's number one manufacturer!
[My brother at least sold that idiot a bunch of chives, but this Tang Fengxing tricked him into giving him the remaining eight ingredients for refining the Great Scoundrel—Asarum Herb, Dan Wood, top-grade spirit stones... Seriously! He charged that idiot a hundred gold for each of those worthless vegetables and stones! Didn't he even offer a discount?]
The crucial point is that that idiot was scammed and yet he's still grateful to them...
[Second Prince, what other pills do you need to refine? I'll prepare the raw materials for you in advance!]
Chuanwen's inner self knelt before the Second Prince, fawning and excited, and even stopped calling him "Second Fool" and almost called him "Father"!
The emperor, standing to the side, was itching to spend money. What a spendthrift son! His son right at his feet was a perfect example!
The second prince's eyes lit up. "Does the letter contain the raw materials for various elixirs?"
Haha, yes, yes, such a miraculous thing as having one's thoughts heard happened to her, so she must have had some extraordinary encounters, so it's not surprising that she has a few spiritual herbs and stones!
The second prince's eyes sparkled; he'd struck it rich! He'd struck it rich!
Outside the dog hole, Chuanwu looked at his master with a complicated expression. Tang Fengxing chuckled and said, "Good disciple, thanks to you, your master has discovered this way to make money."
Traditional Martial Arts: I...
He felt bad about swindling the Second Prince out of 100 gold coins, but his master, on the other hand, boasted and tricked the Second Prince out of 800 gold coins and was still not satisfied.
[Hahaha... Just who is this Tang Fengxing?! She's the one who got that divine bird for the Sixth Prince, and during the transaction, she even gave herself a foreign-style Chinese makeup to make herself look like a burly man! Hahaha!]
Tang Fengxing stumbled and was caught by Chuanwu. "Master, why don't we go out and hide for a couple of days?"
Chuanwu thought he was alright, but if his master were caught by the emperor, he would probably be severely injured even if he didn't die!
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Tang Fengxing coughed.
"Help! They're here! Tang Fengxing is here!"
