Chapter 9: Couplet
Next to the pavilion’s door, there was an old man in a gray robe, his head full of white hair, leisurely swinging a paper fan with his eyes closed. Upon hearing the commotion, he opened his eyes and sneered, “You’re quite persistent. Clearly, you don’t have the ability to enter, yet you come here every day. Aren’t you tired?”
“Oh, brought a helper this time?” The white-haired old man noticed Qin Feng behind Cang Feilan. He was about to mock them but seemed to notice something, his eyes widening. He abruptly sat up from the wicker chair.
“Such a thing… Boy, what’s your name?”
This person is so rude. He even called me a kid. Why am I kid?
Qin Feng frowned. “Elder, if you want to know someone’s name, shouldn’t you introduce yourself first?”
Cang Feilan looked at Qin Feng, her eyes seemed to say, “I didn’t expect you to be so bold.”
The white-haired old man was also taken aback but then chuckled, “I’ve lived for so long. You’re the second person who dares to speak to me this way. Young man, listen carefully. My surname is Baili. As for my full name, I won’t tell you. It won’t be beneficial for you to know.”
Damn, why is this old man so arrogant? And that look in Miss Cang’s eyes, did I accidentally offend some big shot?
Qin Feng swallowed hard and immediately changed his tone to be respectful. “Elder, forgive my earlier disrespect. My name is Qin Feng, just a scholar.”
