Chapter 981 - 146 Old Flower Cat
The one who must have felt the most aggrieved when Zhao Hongyan arrived at Zhuma Town was undoubtedly Lao Fan.
First, he had to watch Eunuch Chang relishing the food, then he began to endure the intense protest from his stomach, and finally, to distract himself, Lao Fan stubbornly started walking circles around the room, mumbling with his eyes closed, "I’m not hungry, I’m not hungry, I’m not the least bit hungry!"
Just at that moment, Xiao Linshuang’s crisp voice suddenly rang out, "Oh, so Master, you’re not hungry, huh? To think I still worried about you and brought you food late at night!"
Lao Fan’s ears perked up immediately; at first, he thought he was hallucinating from hunger, but this hallucination was so real he could hear and see it, and even smell the aroma of the food!
"Good apprentice! Good apprentice!"
Seeing Xiao Linshuang about to leave with the food container, Lao Fan darted forward and grabbed it tightly within two or three steps, "Apprentice, you’re the one who cares about your Master the most, it wasn’t in vain that I cared for you the most."
Knowing that Lao Fan was really starving, Xiao Linshuang hadn’t really meant to leave. She walked into the room chuckling, holding the food container, "Master, I see you’re truly pitiable. To think you’d be this afraid of a mere child!"
As soon as she brought it up, Lao Fan, who was beaming with joy just moments ago, suddenly looked distressed and hurriedly shut the door tightly; it turned out this girl still thought he was afraid of Zhao Hongyan!
"Girl, you don’t understand. Where am I afraid of that little brat? What I’m afraid of is that—huh? No, the Master is not afraid of him. What’s there to be afraid of that old thing?" Lao Fan grumbled to himself while stuffing Crystal shrimp dumplings into his mouth, "I, the Master, am not afraid of heaven or earth, let alone that Chang Laoguai!"
Chang Laoguai? Xiao Linshuang blinked, so her Master was actually afraid of that Eunuch Chang.
Xiao Linshuang slapped the table hard, and with Lao Fan staring in shock, she declared indignantly, "That’s what I thought, how could our Master be afraid of anyone! Obviously, Master doesn’t want to meet him. Right, with your status and prestige, you can’t be seen by just anybody who wishes to. Eunuch Chang wants to meet my Master without making an appointment in advance, it’s simply impossible, right, Master?"
