Why do I have so many masters?-Chapter 875 - 94: Exceptionally Gifted, Dongfang Ximing (562 in 1)

Chapter 875 -94: Exceptionally Gifted, Dongfang Ximing (562 in 1)

After Tie Lin left, Wang Anfeng first sat quietly for a moment, collecting his thoughts, closed his eyes to focus his mind, and emptied his Spirit Platform.

Everything is ready, next is just waiting to meet ‘Qiong Qi’ tomorrow. Thinking carefully, they have dealt with each other many times before, but this is the first time he has had the upper hand.

The first time he has proactively faced an enemy, rather than passively accepting and being forced into events.

Also the first time standing in the shadows.

The first time he is no longer the target of others.

Wang Anfeng raised his hand, pinched his brow, a hint of self-mockery in his heart.

In the past it was always him being plotted against and framed, since Pharmacist Valley, or even earlier, all the way to now.

Is this time a case of an eye for an eye, blood for blood?

Thinking of this, Wang Anfeng exhaled, unsure of how to describe his feelings, only finding them quite complicated. Although he has done his utmost, as detailed and cautious as possible, the task still feels unfamiliar and strange.

Thinking again, he picked up his cup and drank the last of the tea from it.

Then, lightly chewing the moist tea leaves, he stood up, planning to tidy up the slightly messy room first. He intended to comfort Dongfang Ximing a little later, who was currently with Lv Baiping and Lin Qiaofu. The three of them have a very good relationship, so there is no need to worry too much.

The state of this guest room was also caused by Dongfang Ximing’s fright just now. Normally it’s quite tidy, not like the intentionally maintained appearances before, but still not chaotic.

As it stands now, the fruits once placed on the tray are scattered all over the floor, only the pastries in the wooden box were spared. The most conspicuous is the marks on the wall and furniture made by Xu Sixing being knocked away by Dongfang Ximing with the tray.

Wang Anfeng casually placed the wooden box on the table, then picked up the fruits, planning to wash them later as they were still edible and shouldn’t be wasted. He then walked over to the wall, righted the chair, and looked up at the spiderweb cracks spreading and slowly enlarging on the wall.

A small, flat piece of stone shook loose and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Wang Anfeng’s mouth twitched slightly, unable to help raising his hand to his forehead, suddenly realizing that he might have to pay the chubby shopkeeper quite a lot of silver money.

Thinking of how the shopkeeper, although amicably round, shows no mercy when naming a price, he couldn’t help but feel distressed, as if more silver taels were flying away, just like sprouting wings, fluttering away from his pockets.

Such heartache—

It had started with merely helping out.

When he secluded himself for bitter cultivation during those three years, he lived off the gold picked up from the assassin back in Danfeng Valley, occasionally having to hunt for food supplements, teaching to earn some cabbage and vermicelli. Later, when leaving Fufeng, he took a hundred taels of silver from the Divine Martial Mansion’s account.

In Wang Anfeng’s eyes, over a hundred taels of silver were enough to buy a small piece of land in the County City, or even enough for marriage expenses in Great Liang Village or the surrounding towns near Great Liang Mount, quite a lavish capital.

Who knew it wouldn’t last?!

Money, oh money…

Wang Anfeng clutched his hefty purse, finding some comfort in its weight.

Previously cut deeply, now only thirty-plus taels remain along with some small silver pieces. Wang Anfeng shook his purse, the sound of small silver pieces clinking crisply, then patted his pocket, feeling slightly reassured.

Inside there are ten Great Qin Tongbao coins that can serve as hidden weapons.

They can be thrown to strike, and after the fight, picked up, wiped of blood, and used again.

If worst comes to worst, these ‘hidden weapons’ can serve to cope for the time being.

Despite these funds appearing considerable, repairing the house will leave very little, only hoping to live off Wuxin’s subsidy. That subsidy, a significant part, was previously pre-paid to Blind Old Wu as a deposit, something he never found the opportunity to inform Wuxin about.

He touched the spot over his heart, his thoughts a whirl, then suddenly paused, mumbling to himself:

“Hmm, no, this shouldn’t be… ”

“This should be, yes, if I recall, the Great Qin Legal Code states that in Ministry of Punishment cases, when detaining criminals leads to ordinary people’s property damage, it’s required to report it, and compensate with one to three percent over the value of the property to Copper Coin.”

“I’ll write a letter to mention this to Wuxin later.”

Wang Anfeng’s eyes brightened, and he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as though the silver that sprouted wings and flew away circled back and obediently returned to his purse, immediately feeling at ease again, silver tael in hand, his stance was more upright. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Thinking of Wuxin, Wang Anfeng retrieved the letter just handed to him by Tie Lin, which in Wuxin’s usual concise style, listed all the pastry shops in Liangzhou City. Presumably, fearing Wang Anfeng might get lost, two of them even had simple maps, though basic, exceptionally clear, akin to official maps.

Wang Anfeng muttered to himself:

“Ahem, possessing a private map of Great Qin is a serious crime.”

“Wuxin, you are knowingly breaking the law.”

Then carefully folded the letter, placed it in his pocket, recalling he had promised Dongfang Ximing some pastries as a gift yesterday, and planned to visit these shops after discussing tomorrow’s free clinic at the medical hall this afternoon.

A slight stomach rumble interrupted his thoughts.

Then another sound followed.

Followed by a powerful wave of hunger, engulfing him.

After talking with Tie Lin, exerting significant mental effort, Wang Anfeng had gotten up late in the morning, missing breakfast, and exhausted Qi Mechanism healing Xu Sixing, now feeling quite hungry, his stomach making soft growling sounds. Under normal circumstances, enduring would lead to lunch soon, at which point he could have a good meal.
