Chapter 33: Hut
“I’ll never forgive Hu Feng,” Li Yao said on their way back. “At least Li Weidong and Xiao Zhuzi visited you on the first day. Yeah, I get it, he doesn’t want to get involved, but—”
“You guys shouldn’t get involved either.” Yu Han said. “You too, Huang Niuniu.”
“Call me Niu’er.” Huang Niuniu carried a large backpack like a snail.
“I don’t know you that well,” Yu Han said. “Where are the other two girls?”
“They were taken as direct disciples because of their talents. They’re in the Inner Sect now,” Huang Niuniu said.
Yu Han turned to Fang Zhao. “I know you even less. If I were you, I would be like Hu Feng. Why would I hang out with a guy who’s marked by some haughty noble?”
Fang Zhao just laughed. “I decided to live freely, not bound by decorum.”
“You speak pretty politely for that. You were a noble, yeah?” Li Yao asked.
“Still am. Just a crippled one.” Fang Zhao stopped, then clasped his hands. “This Fang Zhao shall take his leave. I report for my mission in an hour, lest I miss the boat. I’ll visit again in the next days if you’ll have me.”
