The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 44

Chapter 44: Separate Ways

He Ping town was just as lively as before, not much different from the last time because he was now familiar with the town, You XiaoMo didn’t have to search like he did the last time to find what he was looking for.

As for Tang YunQi and Chen-shixiong, they both actually had a reason to come down the mountain , but it was not something big, just helping get some tea leaves for Grand Master Tang. Grand M aster Tang was a tea lover , but he only liked to drink a type of tea known as the Mesona tea. Since the yield for the Mesona tea was very limited, even the biggest tea shop in He Ping town would get not even one pound (500g) of Mesona tea each month. The tea shop owner knew that the Tian Xin Sect would send someone over each month to buy some , so he simply set it aside waiting for them to come pick it up. So arose a point of divergence between the four in the group. That tea shop was on East Street whereas You XiaoMo wanted to go to North Street to sell magic pills. These two were simply not on the same street.

You XiaoMo didn’t want them to know that he wanted to go sell magic pills, so he proposed that they split up. They went to East Street while he went to North Street.

At first this suggestion was just what Tang YunQi wanted, she couldn’t wait to get You XiaoMo out of her sight. The problem was Ling Xiao, who chose to go with You XiaoMo to North Street , leaving Tang YunQi to go with Chen-shidi to East Street. They would meet up later at the largest restaurant on West Street. Tang YunQi was unwilling, but she already experienced how Ling Xiao’s words couldn’t be denied. Each time he made up his mind, it couldn’t be changed and Ling Xiao was someone that would do what he said.

Looking on helplessly , as You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao walked away, one at the front, one following behind, Tang YunQi restrained herself so much that her nails dug into her flesh to stop herself from chasing after them. Chen GaoYang at her side, although happy at having the opportunity to be alone with Shimei, was still a little uneasy , seeing how upset she was. Moreover, wasn’t this the chance to ingratiate himself with Shimei?

“Shimei, don’t be angry. That You XiaoMo, even though he is close to Da Shixiong, since the both of them are split with one in Capital Peak and the other in the Warrior Division, they simply wouldn’t be together normally. Perhaps it won’t be much longer before their relationship cools down.”

Tang YunQi scoffed, saying with a clouded face, “Even with them not in the same division , Da Shixiong still went to see him everyday. Yesterday, as soon as Da Shixiong came back, he immediately rushed over to Capital Peak. Do you still think their relationship will cool down? I had already heard that recently Da Shixiong has always gone over to Capital Peak, which is almost certainly to see You XiaoMo.”

“It looked like Da Shixiong really had his heart set on that You XiaoMo.” Chen GaoYang really had no idea just what was so good about You XiaoMo to warrant such attention from Da Shixiong.

“Chen-shixiong, do you have a way of teaching You XiaoMo a lesson?” Tang YunQi asked mockingly.

“This … I’m afraid won’t be easy. I heard that four days ago, Kong-shifu accepted him as his own disciple.” Chen GaoYang looked uncomfortable as Tang YunQi saw his helpless expression. She was inwardly calling him a good – for – nothing, but what he said was not wrong. You XiaoMo was a disciple of Capital Peak , and a Kong Wen’s disciple on top of that.

His current status was unique. If he were from Heaven Peak or Flying Peak, she would have her ways of teaching him a lesson. But he just had to be from Capital Peak. Capital Peak disciples disliked Heaven Peak and it went both ways.

Unable to find a solution, the two of them decided to leave it and first complete the task from the Grand Master before discussing it further. They never expected that this trip to the West Street would almost cost them their lives.

On the other side of the town, You XiaoMo didn’t take much time to find that pill shop. He was not sure if he was mistaken, but You XiaoMo felt that the shopfront looked a little newer than before. As if it had been renovated.

Before he even entered the shop, the shop assistant near the door shouted with glee towards the inside of the shop, “Boss, that Master You is here!”

As soon as the words were out, the manager rushed out helter – skelter, almost tripping on himself. Seeing You XiaoMo, the manager immediately became excited, rushing over , saying, “Master You, you’re finally here. I have been waiting for you for many days.”

You XiaoMo became shocked . What was going on?

After saying that, the shop manager realized that he had lost control of himself. He quickly put on a smile and invited them in, at the same time telling the shop assistant to serve some tea.

“Master You, the magic pills you sold me the last time really exceeded my expectation. In less than two days, they were completely sold out. Furthermore, customers have been coming non-stop to ask about the next batch. But don’t worry, I definitely did not say anything about you.” The shop manager uncharacteristically winked at You XiaoMo. Upon saying this, he noticed Ling Xiao who came with him, asking, “This distinguished guest is?”

Ling Xiao didn’t pay any attention to him, taking a sip of the tea that the shop assistant had brought over.

You XiaoMo laughed awkwardly, “He is a friend of mine who came along with me. You don’t have to bother about him.”

The manager immediately understood, and asked, “Master You, are you here to sell magic pills again this time?”

“Yes.” You XiaoMo said while taking out the hundred magic pills he refined in the past few days. Five bottles altogether, each one containing twenty level one magic pills. These were all refined in those four days and the quality was definitely better than ordinary level one magic pills.

The manager carefully picked up a bottle , opened the stopper , and immediately a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out.
