Chapter 9: Yuan Stone
"Senior Brother Tian, Junior Brother Shen, are you both dogs in the Chinese zodiac? I’ve just returned and you’ve already cornered me.” One of them was busily unlocking the door while chuckling at the other two.
The one unlocking the door was Bai Xiaotian, the Junior Brother Shen he referred to naturally was Shen Luo, and that Senior Brother Tian was the same Tian Tiesheng who was assigned by Master Luo two years ago to bring Shen Luo up the mountain.
A fair while after Shen Luo arrived at the mountain, he felt that this person was quite honest and simple, only his personality was a bit too timid. Even though he arrived at the mountain earlier than most of the disciples, he was often teased by Ding Yuan and his group.
Bai Xiaotian and Shen Luo had both helped him out of his encirclements before, and because the three of them were disciples of Luo Shi, their relationships became increasingly close.
"Let’s go in first, go in first…” Shen Luo said with a smile.
The two of them urged Bai Xiaotian to open the room, lit the lamp, and then they all took their seats at the circular table in the hall in turns.
Bai Xiaotian placed what he was holding onto the table which turned out to be four oil-paper wraps soaked in oil and three green porcelain pots.
"Oh my, this fragrance… it’s from Hongyun Building, isn’t it?” Upon seeing the oil-paper wrap on the table, Tian Tiesheng swallowed his saliva.
"Good eye.” Bai Xiaotian responded as he unwrapped the oil-paper packages.
