Chapter 532 Do Me A Favor?
Seeing that Rong Jun was volunteering, Shen Hui felt happy, but her face was full of embarra.s.sment. She said, "Don"t cross the line. After all, he is also a guest invited by the old master."
Rong Jun smiled slightly and said, "Don"t worry, I will make him turn back from difficulties."
Seeing him turn around and leave, Shen Hui looked at Li Yundong with a smile, and her eyes were glittering with schadenfreude. The female companions around her asked curiously, "Huihui, who is this? He"s so handsome. Why don"t you introduce such a handsome guy to us? Why do you drive him away?"
Shen Hui rolled her eyes at them angrily. "Idiot, that"s a teacher my father wanted to give me! Humph, if I don"t drive him away, won"t I suffer in the future?"
Most of Shen Hui"s female companions were her cla.s.smates. Most of them were young girls, who were at the age of idolizing celebrities. Some girls couldn"t help saying with shining eyes, "Huihui, he is such a handsome tutor. If you don"t want him, to avoid wasting him, you can give him to me!"
"Yeah, I"ve never seen such a handsome tutor before!"
Shen Hui tilted her head and looked at Li Yundong. He was wearing a Tang costume and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, and his clothes were not in line with those of anyone around him. If others dressed up like him, he or she would seem absurd. However, on Li Yundong, the outfit exuded a strong cla.s.sical elegance, especially when he stood amongst the crowd with a relaxed and imposing posture. No matter how much she hated this guy, she had to admit that he was indeed a man who was very attractive to girls.
Shen Hui snorted. She pursed her lips and said, "Tutor? He asked me to acknowledge him as my master. He"s some kind of teacher from ancient times!" As she said this, she couldn"t help sighing. She pressed her forehead with her hand and said, "I don"t know what the old master is thinking. What era is he in?"
"Apprentice?" The girls asked together with excitement, "Sounds fun! What can you learn from it?"
"I don"t know what to learn!" Shen Hui said with a look of madness, "Can you not be obsessed with any handsome man you see? There are so many hot guys in this world. Aren"t you afraid that one day you will be obsessed with one of them and become a fool?"
The girls laughed and said, "We aren"t afraid, but we"re worried that there are not enough handsome men!"
The girls laughed together, and their voices immediately attracted the attention of the men in the hall.
Li Yundong also looked at them strangely, only to notice a handsome young man coming toward him. This boy was about 1.8 meters tall and dressed in famous brand clothes. He was handsome. Although he had a smile on his face, one could see that there was a sense of n.o.bility exuding from him.
Rong Jun walked up to Li Yundong and looked at Su Chan with amazement and l.u.s.t. Then, he smiled at Li Yundong and said, "h.e.l.lo, may I know your last name?"
Although Li Yundong didn"t know why Rong Jun had come, he still nodded politely and said, "My family name is Li."
Rong Jun nodded. Although he wanted to make trouble for Li Yundong, he had some scruples. He asked, "h.e.l.lo, Mr. Li, what do you do?"
After thinking for a while, Li Yundong turned to Su Chan and said with a smile, "What do I do?"
Su Chan was also stumped by this question. She blinked, thought for a moment, and said to herself, "He can"t say he is the leader of Fox Zen School, can he? He can"t say he is a cultivator, either."
The little girl asked tentatively in a low voice, "You"re the owner of the teahouse?"
Li Yundong couldn"t help laughing. He winked at Su Chan and whispered, "How vulgar!"
After that, Li Yundong turned back his head and said to Rong Jun with a smile, "I"m a vagrant!"
Su Chan burst out laughing, pinched Li Yundong"s arm, and whispered, "That"s more vulgar than being the owner of the teahouse!"
Although Rong Jun didn"t hear what they said, he felt a little sad when he saw Li Yundong and Su Chan talking so intimately. He smiled and asked, "A vagrant? Mr. Li, you like to joke too much."
Li Yundong said seriously, "I"m not kidding. I used to study in school, but now I don"t. I opened a teahouse which was nearly shut down."
Rong Jun laughed. Seeing that Li Yundong was serious and didn"t seem to be joking, he gradually relaxed. He said with a smile, "Well, Mr. Li, do you know where this place is?"
Li Yundong said with a smile, "It seems to be the Shen Mansion?"
Rong Jun nodded and said, "So could you do me a favor?"
Li Yundong asked, "What can I do for a young master like you?"
Rong Jun smiled and slid out a stack of money from his wallet. He pointed at the door and said, "Can you buy something for me?"
Li Yundong was stunned. "Buy something? For what ?"
Rong Jun nodded and said with a smile, "As long as you are willing to help, these are all yours. Moreover, Old Master Shen likes the freshest lotus seeds from West Lake. Can you buy some for me?"
Su Chan, who was standing to one side, suddenly asked in surprise, "Lotus seeds from the West Lake? That"s in Hangzhou and far away from here! What"s more, where could the fresh lotus seeds come from in this season?"
Rong Jun smiled at Su Chan, then looked at Li Yundong seriously and asked modestly, "Please?"
It was not until then that Li Yundong realized that Rong Jun was beating around the bush to drive him away! How could he buy fresh lotus seeds in this late winter season? Even if he could buy fresh lotus seeds from West Lake, it would be too late to get from Dongwu City to Hangzhou, and the banquet would be over.
Li Yundong had almost lost his anger during cultivation in his Spirit s.p.a.ce, but his nature had not changed. If others were polite to him, he would be polite back. But if someone had a problem with him, he would be worse than anyone else.
Li Yundong was not angry. He smiled and said to Rong Jun, "Ah, but I know that Shen Wancai likes to eat something else more."
Seeing that Li Yundong was serious, Rong Jun frowned secretly and asked, "What is it?"
Li Yundong said seriously, "This is a good thing. Old Master Shen must have dreamed of eating it. It is said that after eating it, you can renew your youth and even live forever!"
Rong Jun looked at Li Yundong with a strange expression. He vaguely felt that Li Yundong seemed to be playing a trick on him. However, when he saw that Li Yundong was serious and didn"t seem to be joking, he asked, "What the h.e.l.l is it?"
Li Yundong said with a smile, "A dragon"s liver and a phoenix"s gall!"
Rong Jun"s face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to get angry, Li Yundong reached out to touch his pocket and took out a coin from it. He said with a smile, "Can you help me buy a dragon"s liver and phoenix"s gall? And then, I"ll help you buy the lotus seed of West Lake."
Rong Jun wanted to get angry, but after hearing Li Yundong"s words, he suddenly thought of something and suppressed his rage. He said with a smile, "I"ll help you buy the dragon"s liver and phoenix"s gall, and you"ll help me buy the lotus seeds of West Lake? Okay!"
Li Yundong was overjoyed. He took the notes from his hand without hesitation and handed over the coin. "Here you are. This is the money to buy the dragon liver and phoenix gall!"
When Rong Jun saw that Li Yundong seemed like a beggar, he sneered in his heart and said with an unnatural expression, "Forget it, would I be short of such little money?"
Li Yundong smiled and said, "Then I won"t stand on ceremony. No matter how scarce mosquito meat is, it"s still meat!"
With this, he unceremoniously put the coin back into his pocket, and then put a stack of red notes into Su Chan"s hand, acting careless. He said, "Girl, your lord is rich today. Count the money. How much is there?"
Su Chan and Li Yundong had been together for a long time, so she knew very well that her lord loved to play tricks on people. Even though he had become a great cultivator, he still hadn"t changed this habit. At this time, she also put aside the troubles in her heart, took the money with a smile, and counted it gladly.
Li Yundong saw Su Chan counting. After looking at her for a while, he noticed that Rong Jun had been standing beside him and looking at him with hostility. He said strangely, "Hey, why are you still here? Aren"t you going to buy a dragon"s liver and phoenix"s gall?"
Rong Jun snorted and sneered, "Let"s talk about it when there are dragons and phoenixes in the world! Aren"t you going to buy the lotus seeds of West Lake? Why haven"t you gone?
Li Yundong held back his laughter and said seriously, "I did agree, but maybe I will go for it in ten minutes, or maybe ten years later."
Su Chan, who was standing to one side, burst into laughter. She suddenly remembered the scene of Li Yundong playing with Liu Dakai before. For a moment, she was trembling with laughter.
Rong Jun was instantly angered by the laughter. Finally, he couldn"t help losing his temper and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Li Yundong looked at Rong Jun with a strange face. "It"s strange. I didn"t mess with you. I promised you that I would buy the seeds for you, but I didn"t say when!"
Rong Jun took a deep breath and said angrily, "Do you know who I am? How dare you mess with me?"
Li Yundong said with a smile, "I haven"t asked for your name yet."
Rong Jun wanted to give his name and ident.i.ty, but he also felt that it was too impolite. He forced a sigh and said angrily, "You don"t even know me. How dare you come to such a dinner party?"
Li Yundong asked in surprise, "Your surname is Shen?"
Rong Jun said angrily, "My surname is Rong!"
Li Yundong said with a smile, "This banquet is for Shen Hui"s birthday. You are not a member of the Shen family. Why should I have to know you? And even if you are from the Shen family, why should I have to know the people from there?"
Su Chan also made a face at Rong Jun and said, "Let"s go. You"re so annoying! We don"t want you around!"
Rong Jun was furious. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the fourth concubine of the Shen family suddenly come over and say with a cold smile, "It should be that we don"t welcome you, right? It seems that in this family I have the right to speak and make decisions, right?"
The fourth concubine had been eavesdropping on the trio"s conversation from one side. At this time, she had finally caught the handle of the conversation and interrupted.
Seeing that the most favored fourth concubine of the Shen family had spoken, Rong Jun couldn"t help being excited and he smiled, "Aunt Shen, it"s very kind of you to come!" He pointed at Li Yundong and said, "How could Uncle Shen have invited such a person to the banquet? They"re so rude and impolite!"
The fourth concubine snorted and said deliberately, "Maybe Steward Zhang"s eyes were dazzled, so he brought in some riffraff. Hum, Zhang Xiaoquan, Zhang Xiaoquan!"
Fourth Concubine"s voice was sharp. Her shout immediately attracted everyone"s attention in the hall.
Zhang Xiaoquan, the housekeeper who was welcoming the guests at the door, immediately came over and said respectfully, "Fourth Aunt, are you calling me?"
The fourth concubine"s face was full of sarcasm. She pointed at Li Yundong and said, "Are you too old to see clearly? Why did you let them in?"
Steward Zhang glanced at Li Yundong, who was standing to one side, and said hesitantly, "That"s right. He is holding an invitation letter written by the old master himself!"
Fourth concubine raised her eyebrows. "Did he fake it?"
Steward Zhang was stunned. He knew that it would be difficult to settle this matter today. This Fourth Concubine was used to running amok at home because of her son. If he did not follow her wishes, he was afraid that he would be in trouble in the future.
Steward Zhang turned around and said to Li Yundong and Su Chan helplessly, "I"m really sorry... Maybe, I was wrong. You two, how about..."
Although Li Yundong was in full view of everyone, his expression didn"t change at all. He just looked at Steward Zhang with a smile, as if he were just an ordinary pa.s.serby who was watching the fun. He smiled and said to Su Chan, "Forget it. Someone here doesn"t want us. Let"s go. Anyway, we have already given Zhou Qin face."
Su Chan also nodded hard and made a face at the concubine. She snorted and said, "You look down on me!"
The fourth concubine looked at the backs of Li Yundong and Su Chan, feeling that this was not the place to vent her anger. She immediately turned her head and shouted at Steward Zhang, "Keep your eyes open wide in the future. Don"t let such a shameless person in again!"
Shen Hui, who was upstairs, saw that Li Yundong and Su Chan had finally left. She gloated and laughed with joy. "Great! They"re gone! Really gone!"
"Xiaohui, who"s gone?"
As soon as she finished speaking, an old man came out with a smile. It was Shen Wancai!
