Seeing that he remained silent, Gao Qi continued, "How can that old man He Yuting be called the dean? He acted so arrogantly. The Eighth Prince should have taught him a lesson just now."
"Since Master Gao is so upset, why don't you go and teach him a lesson yourself?" Sang Zhi said.
"I feel sorry for the Eighth Prince."
Sang Zhi glanced at him and walked into the pavilion without saying a word.
Takasaki poked his chin with his folding fan.
Those red eyes seemed to penetrate deep into people's hearts, seeing through them without leaving any trace.
Since he knew everything, why didn't he take action to overthrow those great scholars?
The back mountain of Loushan.
Ten years later, the trees on the mountain behind were thicker and more lush than they were back then. When you first entered the mountain, there weren't many nests on the trees. You jumped onto the tree trunks, and the deeper you went, the more nests you found on the trees.
The chirping of birds in my ears was very lively. In addition to the nectar-sucking birds, many other different kinds of birds were also gradually heard around.
They seemed to be getting along very harmoniously. As soon as Ye Qianning landed on a tree, there was a constant chattering of people, most of whom were criticizing her and trying to play tricks on her.
Ye Qianning looked around and his sight fell on a nectar-sucking bird on a big tree not far away. He tapped his toes and flew away.
The little honey-sucking creature felt a flash before his eyes, his body tightened, and he became dizzy. He shook his head and opened his eyes, only to meet a pair of human eyes. He immediately came back to his senses, screaming and struggling.
The little honeyeaters around heard the sound and flew up from the tree trunks and headed towards Ye Qianning.
'Let me go, human, let go of your hand.'
The honey sucker screamed with its neck stretched out, and tried to peck at her hand with its mouth.
'Let go of our patriarch, let go of our patriarch.'
'Let's go together. Let's go together.'
In an instant, a large number of nectar-sucking beetles gathered and circled overhead, thousands and thousands of them, and continued to gather.
'Let me go, or you won't get out alive.'
"Stop screaming, I won't do anything to you." Ye Qianning said without loosening his grip.
'Humans are not to be trusted. They are not to be trusted.'
Ye Qianning and the small honey-sucking tribe had established an agreement that year, promising to supply them with fruit every month. However, an accident happened later, and he indeed did not keep his original agreement.
But although the little thing said so, there are only a lot of honey-sucking nests in the capital.
"sorry."
Ye Qianning stretched out his other hand and touched its head.
The struggling little honey sucker was slightly stunned, suspicious and surprised.
Ye Qianning didn't say much, and directly took out a few bright red fruits from the space and placed them in front of it.
The little honey sucker gave up struggling when he saw the red fruit, and his little eyes almost popped out of his head as he stared at the fruit.
'Peck her to death, save the patriarch, peck her to death.'
"Chief, Chief..."
In an instant, tens of thousands of nectar suckers gathered overhead. The setting sun shone on them from the side, adding beautiful colors, which looked like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.
With a cry in the air, tens of thousands of nectar suckers rushed down. Their beaks were very long and they came down at a very fast speed.
If Ye Qianning used his internal force to shake them away, they would surely die due to their small size, so he could only raise his hand and throw away the honey sucker in his hand.
The honey sucker gained freedom in his daze, and his little eyes glanced over Ye Qianning for just a moment before flying upwards.
Then a louder cry sounded in the air, louder and louder, one after another.
Crash...
When tens of thousands of nectar suckers were about to fall on Ye Qianning with their sharp claws and mouths, they all changed direction. Some of them turned away forcibly and failed to control their speed, resulting in a rear-end collision.
They crashed into each other and then fell to the ground.
In a blink of an eye, the ground of the forest was covered with the bodies of little nectar suckers. Some of them were still flapping their wings, while others were motionless, having just passed out.
After about a few minutes, the nectar-sucking birds in the sky calmed down and landed on the surrounding tree trunks, staring at the humans below without blinking, their eyes full of suspicion and inquiry.
The honeyeater calmed down, and the little honeyeater that Ye Qianning had just caught dived down again and landed directly on Ye Qianning's shoulder.
'Who are you and why do you have this kind of fruit?'
"Ye Qianning."
"Aren't you dead?" Honey Sucker tilted his head, his eyes rolling around as he looked around.
"I survived a disaster and came back again."
'Are you really?' It still didn't believe it.
"yes."
After receiving confirmation, the little honey sucker's expression of surprise instantly turned into mockery: "Humans really can't be trusted. Since you didn't die and didn't show up for so many years, you didn't keep the promise we made."
Liars, humans are all liars.
"Feel sorry."
"What's the point of apologizing? It's all because of you that our tribe leader is scolded by other birds and looked down upon by the younger generations."
"Where is the old patriarch?"
"The old patriarch has been dead for a long time. He refused to believe you were a man of his word until his death. He was convinced you would bring fruit, but he never saw you." Little Honey Sucker complained tearfully.
When Ye Qianning learned that the old patriarch had passed away, his heart skipped a beat, filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, from now on, whether I'm alive or dead, whether I'm in Beili or not, I promise you that for the next twenty years, I will send you a few carts of fruit every three months on time."
'real? '
"real!"
"Then... I'll trust you once more." Little Honey Sucker chirped a few times.
Ye Qianning turned around and took out a large number of red fruits from the space. In an instant, they piled up into a small hill in front of him. The bright red fruits were extremely eye-catching, and the fragrant aroma quickly spread.
The fragrance made the surrounding honeyeaters agitated, and the ones that had fainted on the ground gradually fluttered their wings and stood up.
The little honey sucker standing on Ye Qianning's shoulder was also stunned, watching so many fruits being poured out. Soon there were more than a dozen carts.
"This... these are all for us?"
"Thank you for remembering our original agreement."
Ten years is too long to be a honey sucker.
Even though it kept saying it didn't trust her, it still kept the promise they made. She was very grateful and would do her best to make amends.
Upon hearing this, the little honey sucker flapped its wings twice, with a hint of embarrassment in its eyes. After a moment of hesitation, it finally spoke: "I'm sorry... I didn't intend to keep the promise at all. It was the old patriarch who, when he died, told the tribe to uphold the promise. If you don't listen, he will die with regret."
"It was me who didn't keep the promise. I failed the old patriarch."
Ye Qianning still remembers the scene when she first met the old patriarch. With the old patriarch's trust, she will protect the honey-eating tribe in Loushan from now on.
"I used to think the old patriarch was a deadbeat, but now I know he is the wisest."
At this moment, Xiao Ximi's complaints and confusion towards the old patriarch disappeared. The old patriarch was not wrong about him.
The humans that were promised back then have really returned.
Chirping sounds also continued to be heard from above. Some people who knew the fruit cheered, while some who were born late and had never seen it before began to drool at the smell of the fragrance.
"You can't eat them. These need to be stored." Honey Sucker raised his head and called upwards.
Upon hearing this, the restless honey sucker above lowered its head in displeasure.
"Let them eat, I still have plenty here." Ye Qianning said, looking upwards, "There's plenty of fruit for today."
'boom……'
"Chichichichichi..."
The flock of birds was in an uproar. This time, without waiting for the honey-sucking leader to speak, the flock of birds swarmed over and flew away with the little red fruits in their mouths.
The little honey-sucking chief tried to stop them but to no avail, so he flew down and pecked at one, then grabbed another with his claws and flew to Ye Qianning again.
Ye Qianning stretched out her hand, and the little honey sucker wanted to take the fruit in its claws and put it in its palm, and then it landed on her hand: "Is this really enough?"
"certainly."
Seeing her smile of affirmation, the little honey sucker lowered his head and quickly pecked away all the fruits, then went on to peck at the second one.
Ye Qianning was not in a hurry and let it stand on his hand and eat.
This little thing looks much prettier than it did ten years ago, and it seems to have gotten over its bad habit of swearing. The only reason I could recognize it was because of its head.
That year, when she was making paint with space fruit in the general's mansion, it rushed in recklessly and dove into the paint box. Since then, its little head has been dyed orange and yellow, as if it was wearing a hood.
Unexpectedly, it became the head of the clan.
After the honey-sucking leader finished eating, the satisfied elder brother burped, his eyes showing joy: "I will increase my inspections of the capital tomorrow."
If someone gives them fruit, they will definitely do their best to use it.
"I see that every mansion in the capital has honey suckers' nests. There are already enough of them. There is no need to let them build new nests." Ye Qianning was afraid that the sudden influx of a large number of honey suckers would arouse suspicion.
It would be bad if it causes harm to the honey suckers.
"Okay, come on, I'll take you to see something." The honey sucker flapped its wings and flew away.
Ye Qianning followed the honey suckers into the depths of the forest. The trees became thicker and thicker as they went deeper. Almost the entire tree was covered with honey suckers' nests, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Following the honey-sucking tribe, we came to a big tree. The tree was about one meter thick and there was a very large tree hole in the middle.
The nectar-sucking creature landed on the tree, and Ye Qianning used his Qinggong skills to climb up.
The tree hole was very big, and the sun was about to set, so it looked very dark inside.
Ye Qianning took out the night pearl, which instantly illuminated the tree hole. She looked around and found that the tree hole was large enough to accommodate two people. There seemed to be something carved on the tree wall.
At first she couldn't understand it, but after looking at it carefully, she seemed to have some clues. It looked crooked and looked like a courtyard where humans lived.
"This is?"
There was surprise in Ye Qianning's eyes.
The honey sucker chief trembled his wings and boasted, "How is it? Not bad, isn't it?"
"Have you, the honey-sucking clan, evolved?"
Ye Qianning never knew that there were nectar-sucking birds that could be carved. Although they looked crooked, it was truly unbelievable for a bird.
"What evolution? Can't you see what these are?"
"courtyard."
"Now that you've figured it out, why aren't you surprised?"
"I'm surprised. Even a woodpecker can't peck as hard as your kind."
The honey-sucking leader seemed dissatisfied with her attitude and squeaked a few times in anger.
Ye Qianning could see that the other party was unhappy, and he couldn't figure out what it meant for a moment. Some of it could be vaguely seen as a courtyard, while some were crooked and could not be seen what they were.
There are also some horizontal and vertical stripes with different proportions.
After watching for a while, I was still confused.
The honey sucker leader was waiting to be praised with great joy, but he didn't expect the other party to look at his little face for a long time without smiling. He was annoyed and disgusted: "It's so obvious that you can't see it, you are so stupid." (End of this chapter)
