Chapter 1231: Chapter 1230: Pretentious_1 Chapter 1231: Chapter 1230: Pretentious_1 Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “Yes.”
The wheat was beyond saving, but these domestic animals could still be saved.
Feeding them with Spiritual Spring water for half a year, their taste would surely be excellent by the New Year.
After checking on the livestock, Qiao Xiaomai went up the slope to look at the fruit trees he had planted last year. The fruit trees were common types and had already sprouted; it looked as if they would bear fruit next year.
With so much farmland, time passed quickly as he wandered around.
It got dark, and after having dinner, Tong Sanlang quietly went to Rooster Mountain to visit Deng Chun.
The master and student hadn’t seen each other for many days. Tong Sanlang recounted in detail what had happened in the Capital City, including the corn, which he said was originally from the Liuli Space.
There was also the matter of Qiao Xiaomai’s strength, which he explained as something that had suddenly emerged when resisting the Sun Family.
Deng Chun didn’t say a word, just silently listened to him. By the time all topics had concluded, it was already deep into the night.
Deng Chun finally spoke, “That was a good move.”
He didn’t mention a word about the corn or Qiao Xiaomai’s strength.
Having received this praise, Tong Sanlang was quite pleased. He asked, “Master, why didn’t you follow the plan that day? Was there some unexpected event?”
“No unexpected event, I just wanted to make Yang Wenxiao wait.” Deng Chun’s expression was unclear in the murky night, his voice as bland and cold as ever, “Putting on airs.”
Tong Sanlang “…”
He opened his eyes wide in surprise. This… this…
He had never heard Deng Chun use such harsh language to describe anyone!
Holding his breath, he carefully asked, “Master, why say ‘putting on airs’?”
Hmph.” Deng Chun scoffed coldly, “Always going on about how deeply he felt for your great-grandmother, yet when he came this time, he didn’t even visit her. It’s only when faced with trouble that the true weight of his so-called sincerity becomes apparent.”
Tong Sanlang “…”
That seemed quite reasonable.
Yang Wenxiao was always talking about his deep love for Liuli, yet this time he didn’t even visit her grave.
“Your great-grandmother really was blind to give him the Explosive Recipe, to have saved him,” Deng Chun continued.
Tong Sanlang “…”
He pursed his lips, his face showing a hint of curiosity, “Master, do you know why my great-grandmother gave him the Explosive Recipe?”
“He was once sworn brothers with your great-grandfather, and at that time your great-grandmother thought highly of him. But who knew he would develop inappropriate feelings for her, so your great-grandfather became furious. At the end of the day, it was his lack of righteousness that started it all.”
Tong Sanlang “…”
So, Deng Chun really didn’t know the true events of the past.
Poor Yang Wenxiao was being wrongly blamed again. Back then, it was truly Liuli who initiated.
Lowering his gaze, Tong explained, “The reason they were struck by the Hell Flower was due to his confidence and carelessness, so he feels guilty towards them. Although he has feelings for my great-grandmother, the Emperor is his only son. It’s understandable that he worries his son might inadvertently neglect my great-grandmother.”
“If he truly cared, he would have had the time to stop by and check,” said Deng Chun with a mocking tone, “So-called affection is all lip service.”
“If I were twenty years younger, I would certainly take his head and push you to ascend the throne.”
Tong Sanlang “…”
He touched his nose, feeling somewhat uneasy.
“It’s a pity, among the entire Tong Family, you’re the only one who qualifies as outstanding.” Deng Chun said with a long sigh, “But what’s the use in talking about these things now? I’m already one foot in the grave. Whatever you and your wife plan to do, go ahead with courage.”
One must accept aging.
All I am now is a tomb keeper.
After all, this world… it is not hers.
