Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2044: Unreasonable

Lin Kong said helplessly, "You unreasonable woman, how many times have I told you, the apprentice is in the deep mountains? How can I bring him to you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, "Then go to the deep mountains and find him! Once you bring him back, there will be evidence!"

With so many people supporting her, Lady Zhang quickly wiped the tears from her face and also said, "Yes! I can believe it if you go to the mountains and bring the master back."

The crowd began to discuss loudly again...

"Exactly, since you led the Heavenly Master into the mountains, you should bring him back. How can you still call yourself his master?"

"We don’t even know if he’s really Celestial Master Zhang’s master. From what I see, this brother doesn’t look mature enough; how could he be the master’s master? Celestial Master Zhang has extraordinary skills, even the Emperor holds him in high regard."

"I think so too."

Lin Kong glanced at everyone and said, "I have a connection with Celestial Master Zhang. We don’t judge by age but by skill. I’m not afraid to tell you, Celestial Master Zhang learned his divination skills from me."

The crowd was in an uproar: "How is that possible? How old are you, and how old is Celestial Master Zhang? More likely, he taught you."

Lin Kong pondered for a long time, realizing that without Celestial Master Zhang’s return, he couldn’t prove his innocence. Reluctantly, he said, "I’ll go into the mountains to find the apprentice and let him serve as proof. Is that acceptable?"

The crowd replied in unison, "That’s fine, as long as Celestial Master Zhang admits it, we will believe you."

Lady Zhang immediately stopped crying, looked at him, and asked, "Really? Will you really go find the master? Don’t deceive me."

"I’ll go, do I have a choice? The way you make it, I’m almost a murderer." Lin Kong said irritably, thinking how troublesome women are, always clingy and crying. Luckily, he wasn’t married, or he would have been angry enough to become a monk.

Lin Kong seemed to forget that earlier, he had kicked Lady Zhang to the ground, and she cried from a mix of sorrow and anger.

The maid next to them helped Lady Zhang up from the ground and thoughtfully handed her a handkerchief.

Lady Zhang took it, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Lin Kong, and urgently said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find the master."

Lin Kong gave her a cold glance, said nothing, and turned to stride out...

"Hey, hey, hey!"

After walking about a few dozen meters, Lady Zhang caught up from behind.

"What do you still want? I’ve already agreed to go into the mountains to find the apprentice." Lin Kong turned around with an impatient look.

"No, no, I wanted to ask you to help me deliver these things to the master." As she spoke, Lady Zhang handed a large bundle to Lin Kong.

Lin Kong didn’t take it, frowning as he asked, "What’s inside?"

"It’s all food. The master has been in the deep mountains for a day and a night, he must be hungry. It’s good to bring him some just in case." As she spoke, regardless of whether Lin Kong was willing or not, she shoved the bundle into his arms, and with some unease, reminded him: "These are specially prepared for the master, you mustn’t eat them."

She asked him to go into the mountains to find someone, and also to bring things, which made Lin Kong angry. But with a glance, he saw a crowd of onlookers at the inn entrance, so he resisted the urge to throw the bundle away.

He understood that he could not anger the masses.

After giving clear instructions, Lady Zhang began to urge, "Go on, go on, hurry up, the master can’t wait any longer in the mountains."

As if being late by a quarter of an hour, Celestial Master Zhang would starve to death.

Lin Kong glared at her fiercely, then turned and left with the bundle.

The maid standing behind Lady Zhang saw this and said, "Madam, look, he glared at you."
