"What did you do to the teapot?" Bi Quan said, suppressing his anger.
Bi Junxian knew that since he had already started talking, it was impossible to hide what followed, so he confessed directly, "Last night, I woke up and rushed out of my room to the bathroom, but the urgency just kept increasing.
When I couldn't hold it in any longer, I saw two teapots on the table. I'm a grown man, I couldn't just pee my pants, so I grabbed that purple clay teapot and opened the floodgates.
I know you usually drink tea with that 'little leaf red sandalwood pot', didn't expect you to use the purple clay teapot today."
Old Lu instantly stiffened, although he had vaguely guessed the answer long ago, hearing Bi Junxian say it personally was still a bit hard to accept.
No wonder.
No wonder the tea tasted with a hint of stink.
"You... you... you bastard!"
Bi Quan was trembling with rage, slamming the "civilized stick" on the table with force, furiously saying, "Did you use the teapot I've cared for decades as a chamber pot?"
"Who knew you would whimsically use that purple clay teapot to brew tea?" Bi Junxian muttered with his head down.
His words made Bi Quan's head buzz, and he said in fury, "So, should I thank you for your thoughtful gesture?"
"It's just a teapot, at worst, I'll compensate you for a few." Bi Junxian furrowed his brow, speaking in a tone of "you're making a big deal out of nothing."
"You... I... you..."
Bi Quan was so angry he started to stamr, his vision darkening, stepping back two steps, before plopping onto the chair.
"Master, calm down, calm down, your health is your own, don't let anger ruin your health." Old Lu stepped forward to support him, speaking words of comfort like a cliché actor.
But this was also a very natural phenonon.
That tea with the stinky sll, Bi Quan took a sip and spat it out.
Xie Zhuang, although taking a big sip, didn't really swallow it; only Old Lu drank it for real.
Thinking about it made Old Lu's stomach churn, filled with nausea and discomfort.
...
While Bi Quan was fuming, and Xiao Feng busy transporting gold and jewels down the mountain, the courtyard welcod unexpected visitors.
There were six people, all with gray hair, looking to be at least sixty years old on average.
When they appeared, Lin Zhiyan already led the little girl and Lu Yao into the yard, standing firm and said, "Coming in uninvited at night, I assu your intentions aren't good?"
Among the six, an old man with exaggeratedly large eyes and mouth laughed, "Little girl, since you know our intentions, why not surrender quietly?
Or else, your pretty face might end up with so marks that can't be erased."
"Did Bi Quan send you?" the little girl asked.
"That's right," a man holding a folding fan replied, "we've been hired and it's best not to waste words."
Lu Yao opened her mouth, but before she could speak, the door creaked open.
The six didn't exchange glances but simultaneously leapt onto the roofs on either side before daring to look towards the door.
Never turn your back on the enemy—a lesson paid for with lives and blood.
The little girl, Lu Yao, and Lin Zhiyan looked expectantly at the door, hoping it would be Xiao Feng walking in.
However, it was the Ninth Lord with two bottles of wine instead.
Today, Ninth Lord seed in particularly good spirits, his face smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum, he greeted the three won warmly, "Where's Old Sun? I'm here to have a drink with him to unwind."
"Ninth Lord, you've co at a really bad ti," the little girl pouted, discontented.
"What's that supposed to an?" Ninth Lord asked, puzzled, "It's alti now."
Lu Yao pointed to the roof, "Look up."
Sun Shijie followed Lu Yao's direction and widened his eyes in shock, "Why is it you?"
The man with large eyes and mouth, and the one with a folding fan greeted Ninth Lord with a bow, "Long ti no see."
This left the three won surprised, seemingly Ninth Lord knew this group?
After a brief mont of astonishnt, Ninth Lord walked quickly to the three won, lowered his voice and said swiftly, "These guys have been famous for a long ti, I know two of them.
The one with big eyes and mouth is nicknad 'Old Ha', practices the Toad Skill, and the one with the fan is 'Aspergillus oryzae', aning bad luck follows anyone when he opens the fan, don't underestimate them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Ha on the roof sneered, "The famous Ninth Lord, why have you beco so gossiping like a woman now?
Do you want to pull your tongue out?"
Ninth Lord felt a flicker of anger but dared not speak further.
The reason being, when it cos to tomb raiding, even six against one wouldn't match Ninth Lord.
But when it cos to fighting, six Ninth Lords tied together probably couldn't beat even one of the six.
"Let's go inside, leave this to us," Lin Zhiyan said to Ninth Lord.
Ninth Lord nodded wisely and headed to Sun Shijie's room.
Aspergillus oryzae tapped his paper fan on his palm, saying, "Six of us fighting against three girls seems a bit unfair.
I suggest we capture Ninth Lord as hostage to force them to surrender, how about it?"
Imdiately, an old man with a long beard opposed, "It's disgraceful to bully with numbers. If you don't even dare to fight, how is it favorable?
I don't care what you do, but I, Hu Guangxin, won't do such things."
Seeing potential internal conflict, Old Ha intervened, "Stop arguing, we're all here for the sa goal, no need to fight over this.
How about this, three of us fight first, if it doesn't work, we all join in, and if that still fails, we'll capture Ninth Lord as hostage, is that okay?"
The little girl was displeased, "Are you treating us as air? You're so old, jumping on roofs, aren't you afraid of falling?
To be honest, I suspect you've co to scam us."
"Little girl, sharp tongue isn't a complint. If you keep talking recklessly, don't bla us for bullying juniors," Old Ha said coldly.
Little girl snorted, "Whether you're bullying juniors or we're bullying old folks, it's too early to say."
With her words, she whipped a long whip towards Old Ha's ankle.
Old Ha, not panicking, lifted his foot to dodge the whip, but didn't expect it to coil around his other foot, quickly lifting the other foot.
The whole motion appeared like tap dancing, absurd and amusing.
anwhile, Lin Zhiyan noticed that Aspergillus oryzae had already quietly opened his folding fan.
