Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2045: The Deaf Man

Lady Zhang frowned and said, "Just a crude mountain man. As long as we find the Old Master, we won’t bother with him."

The maid pouted and said discontentedly, "He bullies madam like this, I don’t understand why the Heavenly Master treats him like a treasure."

"What do you know? The Old Master is a man of sentiment and righteousness. Remembering that Lin Kong taught him some moves back then, he just indulges him."

"The Heavenly Master is just too good-hearted."

"Yes, indeed! I hope he comes back safe and sound this time."

"Madam is also a kind person, enduring so much grievance, and yet not telling the Heavenly Master."

"Alas! Forget it. I don’t want to put the Old Master in a difficult position. He’s already troubled enough with state affairs, so what’s a bit of suffering on my part as his wife?"

"Madam, you are truly virtuous. The fact that the Heavenly Master married you is indeed a blessing across three lifetimes. Don’t worry, the Heavenly Master will return safely."

"I hope so."

"After a whole morning of fussing, Madam, you must be tired. Let’s return to the residence!"

"Okay."

The onlookers at the door, hearing the conversation between the mistress and the maid, felt very sympathetic toward Lady Zhang. Moreover, they had also witnessed the scene at the inn just now. Lady Zhang indeed suffered from Lin Kong’s bullying. Being the Wife of the Celestial Master, she had a noble status yet endured such grievances without complaining to the Heavenly Master, which they admired. Thus, they consoled her, saying, "Indeed, madam, go back. The Heavenly Master will be fine."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, fellow villagers."

After the embarrassing encounter at the inn, Lady Zhang thought she had lost her image, but unexpectedly, everyone’s concern comforted her a lot.

And rightly so, she, a dignified Wife of the Celestial Master, crying and clinging to the foot of a man in public was indeed undignified.

However, people understood that she lost control because the Heavenly Master was missing, and she was scared. They showed understanding toward her behavior. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Purple Peak Mountain.

Lin Kong wandered in the mountains for an entire day without seeing even a trace of a ghost. Celestial Master Zhang was nowhere to be seen. Exhausted and drenched in sweat, as the sun began to set, he couldn’t bear it any longer and sat on a large rock to rest.

At this moment, his stomach growled loudly, and Lin Kong remembered that he’d been so busy looking for Celestial Master Zhang that he hadn’t eaten all day.

So, he opened the bundle and found that Lady Zhang had prepared thoroughly, bringing along everything from chicken, duck, fish, and meat to a small jug of wine.

Having searched the deep mountains for a whole day, Lin Kong was both hungry and thirsty. Unable to care about much else, he grabbed the wine in one hand and the roasted duck in the other, taking a bite of the duck and a swig of wine, feeling immensely pleased.

Fortunately, he hadn’t thrown away the bundle; otherwise, he’d be starving now.

While Lin Kong was enjoying his food, with sauces dripping from his mouth, a disturbance arose around him...

"Crunch, crunch!"

In the deep mountains and ancient forests, due to years of accumulation, the ground was covered with a thick layer of leaves. When someone or something stepped on them, it produced a crisp sound.

Lin Kong’s ears twitched. He slowed down his eating, clearly hearing a group of people approaching him with an aggressive demeanor.

He remained seated on the stone, keeping his posture, leisurely eating and drinking, though his movements slowed significantly.

"Hey, this is a robbery."

Suddenly, a man’s rough shout came from behind.

Lin Kong acted as if he hadn’t heard, continuing to eat slowly, not even budging an inch.

"Brother, could this person be deaf?" a high-pitched voice said.
