Chapter 312: Not Qualified?
Xiao Yeyang walked out of Taohua An in a daze, turned to look at Daohua: "Did I offend your master in some way?" Asking him to build a road alone, isn't this making fun of him?
Daohua was also a little confused: "My master should be more concerned with the heart, right?"
Xiao Yeyang: "I asked people to come and build the road, isn't it just to make it convenient for them? Isn't that enough of a gesture? Do I have to build it myself to show my kindness?"
Having said that, he paused.
"Could it be that they really have a grudge against my father? Since they can't torture my father, they're torturing me instead?"
Daohua immediately retorted, "No way! If there really was a grudge, would he have given you his unique sword technique? My master always has a stern face towards you, but Granny Gu is very kind to you."
Xiao Yeyang looked puzzled: "Then why does your master dislike me so much?"
Daohua was also very puzzled. Her cheap master did treat Xiao Yeyang differently. It didn't seem like he disliked him, but he also didn't like him either.
Several times she saw her cheap master looking at Xiao Yeyang with complicated eyes.
It seems that the relationship between Granny Gu and Master and Xiao Yeyang's family is not very simple.
Daohua narrowed her eyes. She had to find a chance to ask.
The two walked down the mountain while talking.
"Be careful."
Passing a slope, Xiao Yeyang wanted to help Daohua, but the guy jumped down flexibly with one leap, then skipped to the front, turned around and gave him a proud raised eyebrow.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang felt helpless.
He now understood why people always asked girls to be gentle and quiet. If they were too strong, men would not be able to show their affection.
Later, Wang Man'er and Defu found it a little funny when they saw Xiao Yeyang awkwardly retract his hand that was suspended in the air.
After walking down the mountain, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Have you thought it over? Do you want to build a road?"
Before Xiao Yeyang could answer, Defu spoke up: "Of course not, the master has never done such rough work." As he said that, he looked at Taohua Mountain.
"This mountain isn't high, but building a path through it, and relying on just one person, would definitely be exhausting."
Xiao Yeyang also had a hesitant look on his face. It was not because he was afraid of being tired, but because he had grown up, and even when his uncle and grandmother celebrated their birthdays, he would at most personally go find some rare antiques to give to them to show his gratitude. He had never done anything with his own hands.
To be honest, he was not very willing to build a road for two outsiders.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang's changing expression, Daohua thought for a moment and said, "Do you think that with your status, my master and Granny Gu are not qualified to build roads for them?"
Xiao Yeyang's expression froze, and he looked at Daohua in surprise.
This guy actually understands what he is thinking.
Xiao Yeyang did not deny it and said, "I have never done such a thing."
Daohua was silent for a moment. She also understood Xiao Yeyang's thoughts. Royal children were arrogant in their bones. Even if his cheap master gave him sword skills as a gift, it was not enough to make him let go of his arrogance.
"As you wish."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua: "You're not angry, are you?"
Daohua shrugged. "Why should I be angry? If you don't repair this road, I will do it."
Xiao Yeyang moved his lips and was silent for a moment: "What if your master also lets you practice alone, what will you do?"
Daohua hesitated: "No way, my master won't torture me. I'm a weak woman."
Xiao Yeyang immediately grasped the meaning behind Daohua's words: "You also admit that your master is torturing me, right?"
Daohua smiled awkwardly, "My master is several years older than my grandmother. Elderly people tend to have different ideas. As younger generations, we shouldn't be so picky."
Xiao Yeyang sighed: "Your master has some special ideas. Listen to what he said. If I am sincere, I will build the road myself. It seems that if I don't build the road myself, it will be fake."
"Also, he only appreciated my kindness when I built the road myself. Why does it feel like he's even harder to please than my uncle?"
Daohua didn't respond, but just said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should leave quickly, otherwise, it will be too late when you return to the academy."
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Then I'll leave and come see you again later."
Daohua said quickly, "My farm will be finished in about half a month. Once it's finished and everything is ready, I'll be going home. You'd better not come over here again."
Xiao Yeyang: "Okay, I'll go to your house." After saying that, he smiled and left with Defu.
Daohua watched the two people get on the boat, and only returned to the mountain after the boat left.
Peach Blossom Temple.
Granny Gu leaned against the headboard of the bed, looking at her brother who was sitting beside her in silence, and sighed, "Why are you doing this?"
Gu Jian muttered, "Without my sister, how could they exist? Without my sister's selfless sacrifices and life of loneliness, how could they achieve their prosperity and wealth? What's wrong with asking that kid to build a road? I don't think it's excessive."
Granny Gu said softly, "With you by my side, my sister won't suffer."
Gu Jian looked up at his sister's face, half of which was burned, with deep hatred flashing in his eyes.
Seeing her brother like this, Granny Gu smiled bitterly, "Xiao Jian, you and I are already this age, some things should be let go. These are our fates, and this fate is not in our control."
Gu Jian looked unwilling: "Why? The person sitting in that position is your sister."
"Shut up!"
Granny Gu scolded Gu Jian harshly, and because of his emotional fluctuations, he started coughing violently.
Gu Jian was startled and hurried over to pat her back.
Old Mrs. Yan, who was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, heard it and immediately walked into the room: "You were fine, why are you coughing so badly?"
Gu Jian looked remorseful and said, "Grandma Daohua, please look after my sister. I'm going to make some snow pear soup."
Old Lady Yan quickly stopped him: "You know medicine, so you stay here and I'll go make the soup." With that, she swiftly walked out of the room.
"Sister, are you okay?"
After coughing for a full quarter of an hour, Grandma Gu finally calmed down. She closed her eyes in pain, gasped for a few breaths, and then slowly spoke.
"Xiao Jian, don't say that anymore. The day they escape the capital, they will have nothing to do with us anymore."
"I am already very satisfied with the days like this."
"Look, when my time was running out, God allowed us to see Xiaojiu's son, and you also accepted Daohua as your clever apprentice. It shows that God has been kind to us."
Gu Jian's eyes turned red.
Isn’t it thin?
Maybe!
"Sister, I will listen to you and never mention the past again."
Granny Gu nodded and said, "Daohua is a smart girl. I saw that several times when you stared at Yang'er, she just watched silently."
Having an apprentice who is too smart and likes conspiracy theories, Gu Jian is also very troubled: "Sister, don't worry, I will find an excuse to prevaricate that girl."
Grandma Gu nodded, but couldn't hold on any longer, so Gu Jian helped her lie down on the bed.
