CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 300: EQUALLY AUDACIOUS

"How did Master come across Old Feng?" Duan Yunfei asked curiously.

"That old geezer, at his age, still blinded by lust, acting like a thug by forcefully seizing a young woman in broad daylight." Chu Wuqu became increasingly indignant as he recalled, "That day, I was returning from Nanfeng Country, decided to go to Xiushui Town for some matters, and happened to come across that old geezer committing wrongdoings, so I taught him a lesson on the spot."

He snorted coldly and continued, "To save his own skin, he confessed everything he had done in the past in great detail."

Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t he afraid Chen Qi will kill him?"

"If he doesn’t tell Chen Qi, naturally, Chen Qi won’t kill him!"

Chu Wuqu suddenly changed the topic, "I’ve heard that you’ve recently stirred up trouble with the Heavenly Killer Sect, even angering Li Tianxing to the point of personally wanting to eliminate you. What’s going on?"

Shen Qinglan’s hand paused slightly while flipping through a book. She looked up and softly said, "The one who has a problem with the Heavenly Killer Sect is me, it’s got nothing to do with Yunfei."

"You?" Chu Wuqu was initially surprised, then laughed heartily, "Indeed, you’re someone chosen by my little disciple, just like him, daring beyond measure!"

"But," he looked at Shen Qinglan and said, "speaking of which, disciple’s wife, how did you end up offending people from the Heavenly Killer Sect?"

Shen Qinglan said, "A moment of mishap."

She couldn’t possibly say that her curiosity led to this disaster, could she?

Duan Yunfei laughed and asked, "Master, could it be that you came all this way after hearing about this matter?"

"That’s right!" Chu Wuqu said, "You’re the most talented child I’ve ever seen. If I don’t rush back, and you happen to meet a tragic end, where would I find such a good seedling?"

Duan Yunfei’s face darkened, "Can’t Master wish for something better?"

Besides, could Li Tianxing really manage to take him down?

"But what if?" Chu Wuqu smiled gently, "In any event, one must always prepare for the worst."

Seeing his little disciple suddenly silent, Chu Wuqu cleared his throat and changed the topic, "So, are we all full?"

"Mm." Shen Qinglan nodded.

Duan Yunfei asked, "Master, do you want to go back to rest first, or go visit Sect Leader Song at Song Mansion?"

"Let’s head to Song Mansion first." Chu Wuqu said, "If I rest now, I might not wake up until tomorrow."

Duan Yunfei got up to pay, then led him out of the noodle shop with Shen Qinglan.

"Why are there so many people over there?"

As the three passed Tianming Pavilion, Chu Wuqu stopped to inquire.

"Oh," Duan Yunfei explained, "those people are inside listening to stories."

If it weren’t for picking up Chu Wuqu today, he would’ve gone there with Le Zhao and Yan Yijie long ago.

"Listening to stories?" Chu Wuqu asked curiously, "What kind of stories are so many people listening to? It looks like the threshold is about to be worn out."

"Mythological stories." Duan Yunfei said, "If Master wants to listen, you can come by later, the story is told three times a day, so you won’t miss it."

Chu Wuqu stroked his beard, smiling, "With so many people queuing up, the story must be good. After I’m done here, I’ll come and listen too!"

Shen Qinglan watched the line of guests at the door, among them both men and women, old and young. The corners of her lips unintentionally curled up.

When the story of Journey to the West becomes popular, she’ll find a skilled craftsman to carve the protagonists from the story, surely they’ll sell well!

She could also hire people to make some cushions and occasionally stage a lottery in the tea house, perhaps attracting more guests.
