Vol. 1 - Ch. 55 - The Aftermath of the Qing Xuzi Incident! It's not just the Wan Jin Hall, but also the Tang Sect!
“The Tower Master won’t see me.” Qin Yi sat on a long bench, speaking in a calm tone.
Huang San frowned deeply, muttering, “Why?”
“Why won’t the Tower Master see you?”
At this moment, Huang San couldn’t figure out what the Tower Master was thinking.
Nearby, Chen Er, who was shelling peanuts and eating them leisurely, said, “Don’t overthink it. The Tower Master must have his own plans. Since he called all the assassins back, he’ll probably inform us of the arrangements tomorrow or the day after. What’s the point of speculating? Might as well eat some peanuts. Here, Zhou Ba, try some.”
Chen Er handed a handful of peanuts to Zhou Ba, who was sitting beside him.
Zhou Ba, looking sulky, thought about it and decided Chen Er made sense.
He took the peanuts, started shelling them, and sighed, “We’re like eunuchs worrying more than the emperor. We’ll probably find out tomorrow or the day after.”
Hearing Zhou Ba agree, Chen Er grinned and clapped Zhou Ba heavily on the shoulder. “Finally, you’re on my side for once.”
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Zhou Ba’s face turned red as he choked, spitting out a peanut that spun in the air before falling to the ground.
Furious, he shouted, “Are you an idiot?! I’m eating peanuts here!”
Chen Er’s brows furrowed. “I may be wrong, but weren’t you at fault too? Why shout so loud?”
Zhou Ba retorted, “You—”
The two soon scuffled and ended up wrestling outside the house.
Qin Yi turned to the still-frowning Huang San and said calmly, “When I came out, Uncle Ya wrote a single character on my hand.”
Huang San’s eyes flashed with sharpness. “What character?”
“Leave.”
