476 The Most Powerful Little Fatties! (4)
Great Gu Master Meng… Gu Elder Meng now.
Gu Elder Meng watched as the geniuses jumped in front of the young man he disdained. They looked extremely excited, as if they were waiting for the young man to praise them. It was really embarrassing!
Ah Wei naturally did not praise them. What was there to praise? He was just throwing a few little good-for-nothings in to play. Was there a need to praise them?
Ah Wei put the boiled goat milk that had cooled for a while into their small milk bottles. The three of them grabbed their little milk bottles with both hands and drank. Ah Wei packed his things, held the bag in one hand and the sheep in the other, and left with his three useless disciples.
“Wait!” Gu Elder Meng could not help but chase after him.
Ah Wei turned around. The three little black eggs had their mouths full. They glanced at him perfunctorily and continued to drink milk.
The Gu Elders, who had stolen his limelight, were actually a few children who were still weaned. This realization made Gu Elder Meng very unhappy. However, he could not cause trouble here. This was a place that even the Queen Manor had to avoid. As an advisor of the Queen Manor, what right did he have?
Gu Elder Meng took a deep breath and asked Ah Wei as usual, “Who are you? And who are they?”
Gu Elder Meng seriously suspected that these people had cheated, but he had no evidence. It would be easy for Gu Elder to cheat for a Great Gu Master, but if a Great Gu Master’s strength was insufficient, how could he pass through the Gu Elder’s test through the help of others?
“What business is it of yours?” Ah Wei said bluntly.
Gu Elder Meng gasped. He was just a Great Gu Master, but he dared to be so arrogant in front of a Seventy-feet Gu Elder like him. In the past, he would not have to do anything. There would naturally be people from the Gu Hall who would teach him a lesson. However, there were three Seventy-feet Gu Elders standing beside this young man. It was three to one, so he did not dare to find trouble with them.
The little black eggs were impatient and did not want to talk to this old man. They held Ah Wei’s hand and left.
Gu Elder Meng wanted to ask something, but he was stopped by Ah Wei’s indifferent gaze. Every Gu Elder was a treasure of Nanzhao. Not only was there a reward, but there was also a monthly salary and a spacious courtyard. They were definitely people who ate imperial food.
Gu Elder of Nanzhao was even more precious than the top scholar of the Central Plains. At least one top scholar appeared every three years, but a Gu Elder might not appear in thirty years. Today, three of them appeared—
Gu Elder Meng went crazy. Have you forgotten about me!!!
These three were brothers… brothers who were not weaned, so it was not good for them to live separately. Therefore, after asking for their master’s permission, they temporarily handed over the other two houses to the Gu Hall to take care of. They stayed in the best house in the area.
This best house was rather relative. In fact, the three courtyards were all in the golden area of the Capital, and the people living around them were all top-notch officials and nobles.
Therefore, while their father and mother were still “living under someone else’s roof”, the three little black eggs already owned three real estate in prime locations.
“Lord Ah Wei, this is the salary of the three little Gu Elders. May I ask where it is most suitable to place this ?” A steward of the Gu Hall who accompanied them pointed at the large box carried over by two attendants.
He was also a Great Gu Master, older than Ah Wei by more than ten years and more experienced. However, Ah Wei had taught three disciples to be Gu Elders at once. Whether it was luck or anything, he did not dare to be disrespectful to Ah Wei.
Ah Wei casually pointed to a room. “Carry it inside.”
“Yes!” The steward of the Gu Hall quickly instructed the attendants to carry the box in.
Ah Wei and his three disciples stayed there happily. It was his little disciples who were happy, but Ah Wei was unhappy. He was a villain. A villain did not like children. The three little disciples slipped over and looked up at him with lamb-like eyes. They were hungry.
Ah Wei went to the kitchen to cook in a second!
Gu Elder Hall was in an uproar because they discovered a few genius Gu Elders, but Gu Elder Meng was not happy at all. It was for no other reason than that today should have been the most memorable and bragging day in his life. Unexpectedly, no one congratulated him. It was not until the sun set that a Gu Lady reminded the Gu Elders as if she was enlightened, “Aiya, isn’t there another Seventy-feet Gu Elder? Where did he go?”
There was someone who finally remembered Gu Elder Meng.
Gu Elder Meng gloomily received the jade token he had dreamed of, but he wished he could throw it away. He had a feeling that this was not true. How could there be such a young Gu Elder? He seriously suspected that they had cheated, but the people from the Gu Hall agreed that everything was the Gu God’s decree. It was the Gu God who protected them, so the poisonous Gu in the passageway did not attack them.
It no longer mattered if they knew Gu techniques. They were people protected by the Gu God, and that was enough.
Gu Elder Meng wanted to argue something, but First Gu Elder said, “Don’t forget, the Queen is also protected by the Gu God. You said that the Gu God’s protection is fake. In other words, there’s something wrong with Her Highness subduing the holy artifact?”
Elder Gu Meng shut up in a second. Elder Gu Meng boarded the carriage and returned to the Queen Manor. When the Queen found out that he was going to the Gu Hall today, she was already waiting for his good news in the manor. The reason why the Gu Hall was called the forbidden area of Nanzhao was because other than the Emperor, no one could influence the Gu Hall. The Queen really did not know the results of the test.
After Elder Gu Meng alighted from the carriage, the Queen let her maidservant to lead him to the reception pavilion.
“Greetings, Your Highness.” Elder Gu Meng bowed.
The Queen’s gaze landed on the Gu Elder Emblem on his robe, and a smile gradually appeared from the corner of her eye. “Congratulations, Lord Meng. I wonder how many feet of Gu Elder you are?”
Gu Elder Meng: “I’m not talented. Seventy feet.”
The Queen stood up excitedly. “Lord Meng is indeed the number one Gu Master of Nanzhao. Even the Gu Elders of the Gu Hall are inferior to you.”
Elder Gu Meng bowed and said, “Your Highness, you flatter me. I don’t deserve it.”
In the past, this would have been a polite greeting, but now, it was from the bottom of his heart. He had lost to four unknown master and disciples, so how could he talk about the number one Gu Master of Nanzhao?
He did not want to talk about this matter much, so he did not mention it to the Queen. In three to five days, the people from the Gu Hall would enter the palace to see the Emperor, so the Queen would naturally know.
The Queen realized that Old Gu Meng was not in high spirits. She only thought that he was exhausted and did not think too much about it. She quickly talked about serious matters so that he could return to his room to rest early. “Since Lord Meng has already become a Gu Elder, you must be qualified to enter Gu Mountain. I wonder how confident Lord Meng is in obtaining the snow toad?”
Gu Elder Meng said firmly, “Your Highness, don’t worry. I’m a hundred percent confident that I’ll definitely help you obtain the snow toad!”
The Queen held his hand in satisfaction and gently patted it. “Then I’ll rely on Lord Meng.”
On the other hand, the little black eggs were a little full from eating Ah Wei’s fragrant rice. Their stomachs were bulging. Ah Wei went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and the little black eggs strolled around the courtyard. They first fed the ewe grass and the sheep until they were round. Then, they led the sheep around. They strolled out of the courtyard.
This was not their fault. When they lived in Lotus Flower Village, they often strolled around the village. No one restrained them. They could not stroll while they were traveling, so they were stifled to the max.
The three little black eggs led the ewe to the road. They were surrounded by mansions, and there was an alley between the mansions.
The three of them and the sheep weaved through the alley. As they weaved through the alleys, they could not be able to find their way home anymore. Ah Wei said that if they couldn’t find their way home, they would wait for him where they were. He would find them. The three little black eggs found a closed house door and walked to the steps to sit down.
At first, they were still trying their best to stay awake, but in the end, they were exhausted from the day. Not long after, they fell asleep leaning against the wall. The rope of the peg ewe loosened, and the ewe did not run away. The ewe knelt down and wrapped its furry body around the three little black eggs to keep them warm.
This was what the Old Madam saw when she came out to visit Madam Li.
Originally, the east and west manors were connected, and they could walk directly from the inside. However, the two manors were too big and the journey was too long, so it was not as convenient as going through alleys.
The maidservant who was supporting the Old Madam said, “Aiya, whose children are they? Why are they sleeping at the back door of our East Manor?”
The old madam walked forward to take a look. Oh, what a dark child! But why was he so dark that he looked so good? Look at that chubby little face. It was simply the same as when Bull Egg was young!
“Old Madam, let’s… Ah!” The maidservant was halfway through her sentence when she saw Old Madam, who needed someone to help her walk, suddenly throw away her walking stick. It was unknown where she got the strength to pick up one of the fat children.
The maidservant exclaimed, “Old Madam, what are you doing?”
“Shh ~” The old madam told her to shut up. She looked around and said with a shifty look, “Hurry up, pick them up and steal them home to be my great-grandchildren!”
