Chapter 266: Chapter 267: This Encumbrance Cannot Be Shaken Off
Xiao Tan smiled and spoke as if he were coaxing a child, “Don’t worry too much, I will ride in my own carriage and won’t disturb you. As for als, I still have so Silver and can fully cover my expenses.”
He then looked at Su Yan, a hint of teasing twinkling in his eyes.
“Shen Wu has a reasonable excuse for not allowing to join you on the road, but why won’t you allow ? Are you planning to go back on your promise?”
“I… that’s not what I ant. After all, I’m also just tagging along with them. If I want to bring you with us, I still need to ask for Master Mo Chen’s opinion,” Su Yan said, her eyes flickering sowhat guiltily.
Indeed, her behavior had been rather unfair.
She had agreed to take him along, but then she had encouraged Master Mo Chen not to bring him…
“Your Master Mo Chen didn’t raise any objections to my joining you. Do you have any objections now?” asked Xiao Tan again.
“…No.” Su Yan replied, evidently disheartened.
It seed she couldn’t shake him off after all…
Good, one persuaded, one to go.
Xiao Tan then turned his efforts to Shen Wu, “Brother Shen Wu, as I said earlier, I won’t spend a penny of yours and I also have my own carriage. Do you still have any objections to joining you on the road?”
Shen Wu frowned and thought for a mont, “But, I still don’t like you traveling with us. There are so many roads you could take; why must you follow us?”
“Exactly, there are so many roads, and I can choose whichever I want. Is there any law that says I can’t travel the sa road as you?” Xiao Tan countered lightly.
Shen Wu furrowed his brows even tighter. He looked at Xiao Tan and said reluctantly, “Alright, have it your way.”
He had the logic; there was no arguing with him…
Xiao Tan clapped his hands and laughed heartily, “Then it’s settled, I’ll join you on the road.”
And so, the four of them, with two carriages, set off together.
Moreover, Xiao Tan’s carriage was bigger, more luxurious, and sturdier than theirs…
That earned him several disdainful glances from Shen Wu.
Xiao Tan had also hired a coachman to drive the carriage. He sat comfortably inside the spacious carriage, enjoying himself imnsely.
