The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 126

Elder Yu Heng’s exit from seclusion was naturally worthy of the entire sect’s celebration. However, Xue Zhengyong knew that Chu Wanning did not like crowds and was not good with words. Thus, he had already arranged everything that needed to be said and done beforehand. Chu Wanning had originally been afraid that the banquet would be somewhat awkward, but later found that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Although Xue Zhengyong was a burly man, he had a clever mind and understood the situation very well. In front of all the elders and many disciples, he said a few heartfelt words. However, he did not say much and did not appear to be emotional. Instead, it was very moving. Only Elder Lucun was less perceptive and shouted with a smile.

“Yu Heng, today is a festive day. Why are you still so cold? You should say a few words as well. There are some new disciples here who have never seen your face. ”

Xue Zhengyong blocked for him. “Lucun, I’ve already helped Yu Heng say what he wanted to say. Why do you have to drag him to say more nonsense?”

“That’s not the same. He should at least say a few words.”

“But he —”

“It’s fine.” Xue Zhengyong still wanted to say something but was interrupted by a cold and deep voice. “Since there are new disciples, I will say a few words.” As Chu Wanning spoke, he stood up from his seat. He looked around the Meng Po Lobby and saw that several thousand people were looking at him.

However, Mo Ran had not arrived yet.

Chu Wanning thought for a moment and said, “The South Peak’s Red Lotus Pavilion has many mechanical weapons. In order to prevent accidental injuries, I ask all new disciples not to trespass if there is no reason.”

Everyone sank into silence.

Lucun could not help but ask, “… Are you done?”

“I’m done.”

As Chu Wanning spoke, he lowered his eyes and lowered his head. He flicked his sleeves and sat down.

Everyone sank into an even longer silence.

Most of the new disciples were pondering. They thought to themselves, was coming back from the dead five years after death an experience that a mortal would have? No matter what, he should talk about his feelings in his heart, or thank his savior, or something like that.

But why did this person seem to be reading out a dogma and end it with just one sentence? This was too insincere.

The older disciples could not help but chuckle. A few of them whispered to their companions beside them, “It’s Elder Yu Heng. He hasn’t changed.”

“He still speaks as little as ever.”

“Pfft, that’s right. She has a bad temper and is impatient. Apart from her pretty face, she can’t do anything else.” Since there were so many people around and Chu Wanning couldn’t hear them, someone joked. Everyone looked at each other and smiled. Then, they turned to look at the white-robed man sitting next to Xue Zhengyong.

The banquet began. In addition to spicy Sichuan dishes, there were many exquisite pastries and Jiangnan dishes that were deftly arranged. The table was bustling with noise and excitement.

Xue Zhengyong also opened about a hundred jars of the best Pear Blossom White wine and distributed it to each table. The amber colored wine was poured to the brim. Chu Wanning was eating her fourth Lion’s Head with crab powder when suddenly a large bowl with a big mouth was placed right in front of her eyes.

“Yu Heng! Drink a cup! ”

“… This is a bowl.”

“Aiya, who cares if it’s a cup or a bowl, drink it! It’s your favorite Pear Blossom Wine! ” Xue Zhengyong’s thick eyebrows were dyed bright with happiness. “When it comes to your alcohol tolerance, I, Xue Zhengyong, am the first to admit defeat! You really can’t get drunk after a thousand cups! You can’t get drunk after ten thousand cups! Come, come, come. Let me toast you with this first cup! ”

Chu Wanning smiled. He raised the big bowl and clinked it with Xue Zhengyong’s.

“Since the Great Lord says so, I’ll drink this first cup.”

He finished it in one gulp and flipped the bowl over for Xue Zhengyong to see. Xue Zhengyong was overjoyed, but his eyes reddened. “Good, good! Five years ago, you asked me for a jar of excellent Pear Blossom Wine in the cellar. I didn’t want to give it to you. Later, I regretted it very much. I thought I would never … never … “His voice grew softer. He suddenly raised his head and exhaled deeply. Then, he said loudly,” Let’s not talk about it anymore! There’s no need to talk about it anymore! If you like it in the future, the entire cellar of Pear Blossom Wine will be yours! I’ll let you drink good wine for the rest of your life! ”

Chu Wanning smiled. “Okay, I’ll make a profit.”

While they were talking, Xue Meng was talking to someone in a corner for a long time. Suddenly, Xue Meng dragged that person over. The two of them bowed in front of Chu Wanning.

“Shizun!” Xue Meng raised his head. His youthful face was dignified.

“Shizun.” That person also raised his head, like a lotus flower emerging from the water, like a cloud emerging from the mountain. If it wasn’t Shi Mei, who else could it be?

Shi Mei said shamefully, “Disciple was in Wuchang Town’s doctor’s clinic today. I couldn’t leave and only came to see Shizun now. I’m really ashamed. Please forgive me, Shizun.”

“… It’s fine.”

Chu Wanning lowered his eyes and carefully looked at Shi Mei for a while. Although his face was indifferent, he suddenly felt a strange sense of loss in his heart.

This person, who was Mo Ran’s favorite, had grown into a peerless beauty.

If it was said that five years ago, Shi Mo was still a beauty, then now, he was like a bunch of Epiphyllum blooming in the middle of the night. The tender green petals could no longer hide the whiteness inside. The fragrant petals trembled as they peeked out, making everything around them pale in comparison. He had a pair of charming peach blossom eyes. His eyes were as soft as spring water. The curve of the bridge of his nose was extremely soft. If it was a bit more, it would be too fierce, but if it was a bit less, it would be too weak. His lips were bright red and full, like cherries soaked in dew. The words he spat out were sweet and soft.

“Shizun, disciple misses you very much.”

He rarely expressed his emotions so openly. Therefore, Chu Wanning couldn’t help but be startled. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Shi Mei’s eyes were red. He was deeply moved, making Chu Wanning feel a little ashamed.

Why would he be jealous of Shi Mingjing? He was older than the younger generation by so many years. He was in a high position. Why would he be jealous of Shi Mingjing?

Thinking of this, Chu Wanning nodded and said indifferently, “Both of you can stand up.”

After getting permission, the two disciples stood up.

… …

Chu Wanning had already calmed down, but when he glanced at Shi Mei, he was suddenly stunned.

“… …”

Shi Mei was taller than Xue Meng?

This comparison made Chu Wanning choke. He coughed twice and couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

He was taller by more than a little.

But this made Shi Mei’s figure even better. His shoulders were broad, his waist was thin, and his legs were long. There was an indescribable exquisiteness and elegance. His hair was long and thin. He didn’t look like the weak youth he was in the past.

Chu Wanning’s face couldn’t help but sink.

He felt that he had lost a little too miserably.

But … … forget it.

Anyway, he couldn’t say his feelings for Mo Ran until his death. It was even more impossible for him to say it in the future. As for Mo Ran, that guy chased him to the ends of the earth, but he couldn’t tell that he liked him. In the future, it was even more impossible for him to tell.

The two of them could be master and disciple for life. Their friendship was deep, so it wasn’t impossible.

As for the other things, it couldn’t be forced. Just forget about it.

Xue Meng suddenly blushed. He elbowed Shi Mei and gave him a look.

Shi Mei was helpless. He said softly, “Do you really want me to go?”

“Yes, it’s more suitable for you to go.”

“But these things were prepared by you for five years, Young Master … …”

“It’s awkward because they were prepared by me. You go. Besides, didn’t you bring back some of the other things today?”

“… … Okay.” Shi Mei sighed. He couldn’t persuade Xue Meng. He could only take a large rosewood wood stick from Xue Meng’s hands behind his back. He held it with both hands and walked in front of Chu Wanning, who was sitting down and eating the Lion’s Head.

“Shizun, Young Master and I … … have prepared some gifts for the past five years. They are all … … small gifts. I hope Shizun will accept them.”

Xue Meng listened from behind. His face became redder and redder. In order to hide his panic, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned his head leisurely. He pretended that he suddenly had a strong interest in the carved pillars of the Meng Po Lobby.

Normally, it was impolite to open the gifts given by others. However, as their Shizun, Chu Wanning wasn’t willing to accept things that were too expensive. Hence, he thought for a while and asked, “What are they?”

“They are … … some small trinkets that we bought from everywhere.” Shi Mei was extremely intelligent. How could he not understand Chu Wanning’s intentions? Hence, he said, “They aren’t worth much. If Shizun is worried, you can open them when you go back and take a look.”

However, Chu Wanning said, “There’s no difference between going back and now. Open them.”

“No, no, no! Don’t open them! “Xue Meng was stunned for a moment. He immediately rushed over to snatch the box.

However, Chu Wanning had already opened the box. He even glanced at him indifferently.

“You ran so fast. Aren’t you afraid of falling?”

Xue Meng: “… …”

Sure enough, it was stuffed to the brim with all sorts of interesting little objects. There were some intricately embroidered hair bands, ingenious hairbands, and divine jade hooks. Chu Waning casually picked up a bottle of calming pills. Under the candlelight, the insignia of the Cold Scale Divine Hand shone brightly.

This box of items was priceless.

Chu Wanning really didn’t know what to say. He raised his phoenix eyes and glared at Xue Meng. Xue Meng’s face turned even redder.

Xue Zhengyong was amused. He said, “Since Meng ‘er is so considerate, Yuheng, just accept them. In any case, the other elders have already prepared gifts for you. They’re all worth quite a bit. It won’t hurt to add one more. ”

Chu Wanning said, “Xue Meng is my disciple.”

In other words, he wasn’t willing to accept so many things as a disciple.

“But these are the most suitable things for Shizun that I’ve seen in these five years!” When Xue Meng heard this, he became anxious. “I’ve only used the money I earned. I didn’t spend a single cent of Father’s money. Shizun, if you don’t accept them, I … … I … …”

“He’ll feel uncomfortable and won’t be able to sleep.” Xue Zhengyong spoke for his son. “He might even go on a hunger strike.”

Chu Wanning: “… …”

He really didn’t know how to talk to this father and son pair. Thus, he lowered his head to look at the box again. Suddenly, he saw an even smaller wooden box lying among the pile of things.

“This is … …” He took it out and opened it. There were four clay dolls lying inside.

He didn’t quite understand. He raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Meng, only to see that Xue Meng’s face was completely red, as if blood was about to drip out. Seeing that Chu Wan Ning was looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head. He was such a handsome man, yet he acted like a young boy. Being stared at by his master, he lowered his eyes and lowered his head. He was indescribably shy.

Chu Wanning asked, “What is this?”

Xue Zhengyong was also curious. “Take it out and let us see.”

“Don’t … … want … …” Xue Meng held his forehead and weakly muttered. However, his father had already happily laid out the four little clay figurines. The four clay dolls were extremely ugly. Other than the fact that one of them was slightly taller and the other three were slightly shorter, it was almost impossible to tell the difference between them. This kind of work was clearly done by Xue Meng.

It should be known that Xue Meng originally wanted to learn mecha techniques from Chu Wanning. In the end, after learning for a day, Chu Wanning made him change to knife techniques. There was no other reason than this brat not being able to accomplish anything in the entire afternoon at the Red Lotus Pavilion. Instead, he took a file and almost tore apart the mecha room.

It was really hard for him to make clay dolls with such a “pure heart”.

Xue Zhengyong picked up one of the clay dolls and turned it around to look at it. He didn’t understand it and asked his son, “What are you making?”

Xue Meng stubbornly said, “I, I just made it for fun. It’s nothing.”

“These black clay dolls really don’t look good. The taller one is much prettier. It’s painted white,” muttered Xue Zhengyong as he rubbed the doll’s head with his thumb.

Xue Meng said, “Don’t touch it!”

But it was too late. The doll spoke.

“Uncle, don’t touch it.”

Xue Zhengyong, “…”

Chu Wanning, “…”

Xue Meng slapped himself and covered his eyes with his arm, unwilling to look.

Xue Zhengyong reacted after a long time. He laughed loudly, “Hey, Meng ‘er, did you make Ran’ er? It’s too ugly, hahahaha. ”

Xue Meng angrily said, “That’s because he’s ugly to begin with! Look at how I made Shizun! It’s so pretty! “As he spoke, his face turned red as he pointed at the white clay dolls.

The white clay dolls’ heads were brushed by his fingertips. They coldly humphed and said, “Don’t be impudent.”

Chu Wanning, “…”

“Hahahahaha!” Xue Zhengyong laughed until tears were about to flow out of his eyes. “This is good, this is good. You even put some Lingyin Cotton in it, right? This little thing imitates Yu Heng’s tone. It’s quite similar. Hahahaha! ”

Chu Wanning flicked his sleeves and said, “Nonsense.”

However, he still gently took back the four clay figurines and put them back into the box, placing them beside him. During this process, his face was expressionless. He appeared very calm and indifferent. But when he looked up again, there was a gentleness that had not faded from his eyes.

“I’ll accept this. Take the rest back. You can use these things too. Master doesn’t lack them.”

“But …”

“Young Master, Shizun wants you to take them back. Just take them back.” Shi Mei smiled and softly persuaded him. He lowered his voice and said, “Anyway, isn’t this box of clay dolls the most the Young Master wants to give?”

Xue Meng’s head was practically smoking. He angrily glared at Shi Mei and kicked his feet. He bit his lip and didn’t say anything.

Xue Meng was a person who had been highly praised since he was young. There was nothing that he couldn’t say or do. Because of this, his way of expressing his likes and dislikes was often very passionate and straightforward.

Chu Wanning felt that he was very rare. This kind of directness was something he had never had. It was one of Xue Meng’s most precious qualities. He was a bit envious. Unlike himself, he had never been an honest person. His heart missed him very much, but his mouth said that he didn’t care.

After his rebirth, although he was a bit better, that was it. He wouldn’t change much. Rome wasn’t built in a day. He felt that even if he used the rest of his life to change, he wouldn’t be able to change much. If he changed too much, he probably wouldn’t be him anymore.

When the banquet was about to end, Mo Ran still hadn’t returned.

Chu Wanning was actually very depressed, but he didn’t say anything. Although he really wanted to ask Xue Zhengyong, he wanted to ask how Mo Ran wrote that letter today. He wanted to ask Xue Zhengyong if he knew where Mo Ran was.

But he held the wine cup and drank cup after cup. His knuckles were pale. The wine burned into his lungs, but it didn’t burn his heart until it was warm enough. It was warm enough to turn his head and ask when he would return.
