Chapter 362: (1): Shoulders Carrying Hopes and Aspirations
Zheng Dafeng was stunned into silence, and he was trying to make a connection between the young man before him and the young boy from back in Jewel Small World, but it was clear that he was struggling in that endeavor.
In the end, all he could do was grumble, "Calm down! You spat all over my face!"
After a brief silence, Zheng Dafeng accepted the vial of Seated Meditation Pills from Chen Ping'an. If Chen Ping'an wasn't exaggerating about the quality of these pills, then just two pills would be enough to suppress his injuries. However, making a full recovery was not such a simple matter, and the root of his problems couldn't be remedied with just a pill or two.
Pei Qian was looking into the room from the doorstep, and she was furious as she raised her hiking pole and yelled, "What the hell's wrong with you? If you keep being so ungrateful, I'm going to get really mad!"
Zheng Dafeng put the vial away, then turned to her with an amused grin as he replied, "I'm absolutely quaking in my boots! My, where has a beautiful and heroic maiden like you come from?"
Pei Qian cleared her throat, then stood up straight and slammed the bottom of her hiking pole into the ground as she declared, "Listen up! My name is Pei Qian, and I'm a princess who's fallen on hard times. Chen Ping'an is my... master, and I'm the founding disciple of our sect!"
Pei Qian no longer dared to proclaim herself Chen Ping'an's daughter in front of others for fear of a beating.
Zheng Dafeng stared at Pei Qian for a moment with his mouth slightly agape, then turned to Chen Ping'an, wondering how this strange duo had come together.
"Let's go inside, I have some important matters to discuss with you," Chen Ping'an said.
