I'm really worried that he won't be able to shut up and will go around telling everyone about it.
The system jolted, then said uncertainly, "[It shouldn't be!]"
Lu Qingyan sighed, "I have a pretty good feeling that he'll probably run around telling everyone about my heroic deeds. What if it gets to Xiao Liuchen's ears...?"
【Don't worry, Master. As long as he's here, he'll have to call you Master in front of everyone. You're the elder, what are you afraid of?】
I just want to know whether they see this as me being disrespectful to my teacher, or as Xiao Liuchen betraying his master and ancestors.
Lu Qingyan had a bit of a headache. After exchanging ten points for a sleeping potion from the system, she went back to take a nap. When she woke up again, the first act of the day had already ended.
Perhaps it was because Lu Qingyan was too sensitive, but she felt that the way he was looking at her today was ambiguous, and that he kept glancing at her and Xiao Liuchen. When Xiao Liuchen met her gaze, he smiled slightly, which made Lu Qingyan feel uneasy.
That smile... it looks like she's scheming against someone.
“Yiyi,” Tian Shenhua was the first to speak, “Hunmeng said he has remembered some things. He happens to have a business friend here who is going to Kyoto to resell some things, and he can give us a ride along the way.”
"Oh, my disciple's health has recovered quite well. He's remembered so much in just one day. May I ask who your friend is?" Lu Qingyan's gaze fell on Xiao Liuchen, secretly asking him: You wouldn't be thinking of running away now just because you got the painting of the beauty, would you?
So, under Lu Qingyan's gaze, Xiao Liuchen nodded.
Lu Qingyan sighed: This disciple is unworthy!
Lu Qingyan glanced at the others sitting down and said, "Father, our four carriages are going quite fast, why do we need someone else to give us a ride?"
After she asked that question, several of those people lowered their eyes.
Tian Shenhua then explained, "It's not easy for us to keep running around like this. Some of them want to settle down. Others have relatives coming to their door, and they want to go back to reunite with their families."
Lu Qingyan nodded: "They've already said so much, we can't just stop them. But we've been together for so many years, we can't let them go back empty-handed."
Several people lowered their heads even further. Tian Shenhua smiled and stroked his beard: "Who says otherwise? I'm discussing with them what to leave for them. Those clothes and props have been with me for most of my life, they're practically my lifeblood. I really can't bear to give them all away. I'm thinking of leaving each of them a set of clothes and five taels of silver each. As for the four carriages, we were going to set one aside specifically for those things anyway, so let them keep one and divide it among themselves."
Everyone was satisfied to hear Tian Shenhua say that. Those who were leaving didn't say anything more because he had given so much, and those who stayed appreciated his kindness and sincerity.
Only Lu Qingyan was there, covering her mouth and secretly laughing.
Dividing a carriage among six people—isn't that just asking them to argue? A carriage is a means of transportation; you can't just sell it or cut it into pieces of horse meat just to make it easier to divide. If you did that, not only would one person object, but they'd be heartbroken.
After all these people left, only Xia Sheng, Qiu Sheng, Dong Sheng, Jun Hua, and Tian Shen Hua's family remained in the huge Chunxi Troupe.
Tian Shenhua shook his head and said regretfully, "It seems that the Chunxi Troupe has finally come to an end. When we get to the capital, we'll probably have a lot of free time and go hungry."
