When Cao Xiaosi found Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang was preparing to leave Tongcheng and head back.
Thinking that the big shot in the thatched cottage had finally assigned him a task, and that he might be rewarded when he got back, Zhao Yang was overjoyed.
As I was hurrying along, someone suddenly bumped into me.
Cao Xiaosi pretended to turn around to look at something, and knocked Zhao Yang's hands full of things, scattering them all over the ground.
Along with Zhao Yang's belongings, an identity token from the sixth peak of the Dan Sect also landed on the ground.
"Are you fucking blind...?" Zhao Yang's angry curses froze as his gaze fell on the token.
"Oh dear, junior brother, I'm so sorry. I think I saw someone I knew just now and I didn't notice you and bumped into you." Cao Xiaosi didn't put on any airs of a senior at all and enthusiastically helped Zhao Yang pack his things.
Zhao Yang panicked immediately: the sign said "Sixth Peak, Sixth Field Team Leader"!
Although the Sixth Peak was established after the Acting Sect Master returned, everyone in the Dan Sect knows that the people on the Sixth Peak are all the Acting Sect Master's confidants!
Not to mention that this is a captain-level figure, someone whom Emperor Daizong would definitely recognize by name.
"Senior, you mustn't do that, I'll pick it up myself," Zhao Yang quickly rushed forward, trying to pick up the things himself.
“We’re all disciples of the Dan Sect, what’s there to be ashamed of?” Cao Xiaosi also returned the things in his hands to Zhao Yang very enthusiastically. Looking at Zhao Yang, his eyes lit up and he said, “Hey, junior brother, you look very familiar. Have we met somewhere before?”
Zhao Yang: "...?"
He racked his brains trying to remember where he had seen this great master before, so he could try to establish a connection with him.
It's rare to see such a big shot being so approachable, willing to take the initiative to talk to lowly disciples like them.
Such opportunities don't come around often, and not everyone gets to encounter them!
The more anxious he became, the less he could remember. He was afraid that the big boss would get impatient and leave, and he was also afraid that making things up would anger the big boss.
"Oh, right, didn't you stay behind to help tidy up Liuxiang Town last time, and then go to Feilu Peak to collect your reward?" Cao Xiaosi "remembered" before Zhao Yang could.
Zhao Yang was still completely bewildered, but he had indeed participated in cleaning up Liuxiang Town and had even received a reward.
He simply didn't remember when he had ever met this big shot.
However, since the big shot remembered, how could he not? A bewildered yet embarrassed smile quickly spread across his face: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect that senior would remember a nobody like me."
“Sigh, what’s the difference between a nobody and a big shot? Which great person didn’t start from humble beginnings?” Cao Xiaosi patted Zhao Yang’s shoulder affectionately and said, “Those who stay to do such rough work as carrying things are all hardworking and resilient people. That’s a good quality. Well then, I have nothing to do today, and I find my junior brother agreeable. Why don’t you come with me to the teahouse and have a cup of spiritual tea?”
"This...this..." Zhao Yang was overjoyed, but hesitated when he looked down at what he was holding.
Being invited by a big shot to drink spiritual tea is a dream come true for many people.
But there's a powerful figure at home waiting for him to go back and serve him!
"What's wrong, Junior Brother? You have a mission to complete?" Cao Xiaosi said knowingly. "If you have a mission and can't stay outside for long, then you should go back first. If we happen to meet again next time, we can have tea together."
Having said that, Cao Xiaosi showed no sign of lingering and turned to leave.
