Chapter 334: Chapter 312, Not Qualified?_1
Xiao Yeyang walked out of Taohua Temple in a daze, turning his head to Daohua, “Did I offend your master somewhere?” Having him repair a road by himself, that must be a trick, right?
Daohua was also somewhat puzzled, “My master… he probably just values sincerity, I guess?”
Xiao Yeyang, “I had people come to fix the road, isn’t that for their convenience? Isn’t that enough of a gesture? Must I personally repair it to show sincerity?”
Saying so, he paused.
“Could it be, they really have a grudge against my father? Unable to torment my imperial father, they’ve decided to torment me instead?”
Daohua immediately countered, “That can’t be right, if there was really a grudge, would they have taught you the ultimate swordsmanship? Although my master has always kept a stern face towards you, Granny Gu has been very kind to you, hasn’t she?”
Xiao Yeyang showed a puzzled expression, “Then why does your master treat me with such disdain?”
Daohua was also very perplexed, her foster father indeed seemed different towards Xiao Yeyang. To say he disdains him doesn’t quite fit, yet to say he likes him would also be incorrect.
Several times she had seen her foster father looking at Xiao Yeyang with a complex expression in his eyes.
It felt like Granny Gu and the master’s relationship with Xiao Yeyang’s family was not that simple.
Daohua’s eyes narrowed slightly, she had to find an opportunity to ask.
The two of them continued to talk as they walked down the mountain.
“Be careful.”
As they passed a slope, Xiao Yeyang attempted to support Daohua, only to find her leap agilely down and then hop to the front, even turning back to give him a smug eyebrow raise.
Seeing this, all Xiao Yeyang felt was helplessness.
He now understood why people always expect girls to be gentle and demure, too formidable, and men can’t even play a role.
Behind them, Wang Manman and De Fu saw Xiao Yeyang’s sheepishly retracted hand hanging in mid-air and both thought it was quite amusing.
After walking down the mountain, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, “Have you decided? Will you repair the road?”
Before Xiao Yeyang could answer, De Fu spoke up, “Of course not, the master has never done such rough work.” Saying so, he looked around Taohua Mountain.
“Although the mountain is not high, to build a road from scratch, relying on a single person, it would certainly be exhausting.”
Xiao Yeyang’s face also showed hesitation, not from the fear of getting tired, but because all his life, even when the imperial uncle, or the imperial grandmother had a birthday celebration, to express his sentiment, he would at most personally seek out some rare antiques as gifts. He had never personally done any manual labor.
Now to repair a road for two outsiders… honestly, he wasn’t really willing to do it. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Seeing Xiao Yeyang’s changing expressions, Daohua thought for a moment and said, “Do you feel that with your status, repairing the road for my master and Granny Gu is beneath them?”
Xiao Yeyang’s expression froze, and he looked at Daohua somewhat surprised.
This fellow seemed to understand his thoughts quite well.
Xiao Yeyang didn’t deny it and said, “I have never done such a thing before.”
Daohua remained silent for a moment; she understood Xiao Yeyang’s thoughts. Descendants of the imperial family all carry pride in their bones. Even with the gift of swordsmanship from her foster father, that wouldn’t be enough for him to let go of his pride.
“It’s up to you.”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, “You’re not angry, are you?”
Daohua shrugged her shoulders, “Why would I be angry? If you don’t repair the road, I’ll do it instead.”
Xiao Yeyang moved his lips and after a moment of silence, he said, “What if your master also makes you repair it alone, what will you do?”
Daohua hesitated, “That shouldn’t happen, my master wouldn’t torture me like that, I am a delicate young lady.”
