Chapter 539: 539
Fangzheng was embarrassed by Red Boy's words as he pulled him to the side and got up . He pressed his palms together and said, "Amitabha . Patron, please don't mind him . Although this Penniless Monk's disciple isn't young, he still has the temper of a child . "
"He isn't young?" Guan Xiangfeng was taken aback . He looked at Red Boy, whose skin was supple and pink like a doll, and felt that he could only be a few years old . Was Fangzheng treating him as a retard? Guan Xiangfeng laughed dryly and just as he wanted to make a snide remark, his gaze happened to fall on the Frost Bamboo on the ground . He suddenly recalled that he was there to make a request and not to find fault with Fangzheng . Therefore he drew a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I won't hold it against a child . "
"I won't hold it against a child either . " Red Boy scoffed as he mimicked Guan Xiangfeng's tone .
Guan Xiangfeng looked unhappily at Fangzheng . It was obvious what he meant . Aren't you going to discipline this brat?
Deep inside, Fangzheng smiled wryly . How was he to discipline him? Red Boy had not said anything wrong! Compared to Guan Xiangfeng, apart from him being larger in size and having more facial hair than Red Boy, his age was not even enough to qualify as Red Boy's grandson… Ye ,there was no way to explain this .
Dog Song finally calmed himself down . When he saw Guan Xiangfeng attempting to find trouble with Fangzheng, he raised his hand and slapped Guan Xiangfeng on the shoulder . "Do you still want the Frost Bamboo? Do beggars act anything like you? In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang three times at his thatched cottage . To ask for something, shouldn't you act like you are asking for something?"
Fangzheng was taken aback when he heard that . "Ask for something? What?"
Dog Song hurriedly explained Guan Xiangfeng's situation, including how he had mocked Lame Ma . Early on, Guan Xiangfeng believed that Dog Song was helping him, but as Dog Song continued, he realized something amiss . Although it was the truth, why was Dog Song pointing out all his faults? He glared at Dog Song, yearning to tear apart the a**hole!
Fangzheng had had no idea what Jiang Zhou's profession was, but after hearing Dog Song's explanation, he realized that Jiang Zhou was a carving master . And from the looks of it, he was quite a famous one at that . With this in mind, Fangzheng smiled at Guan Xiangfeng . "Patron, you wish for Frost Bamboo to honor your master?"
When Guan Xiangfeng saw Fangzheng smile so radiantly, he heaved a sigh of relief inwardly as he thought, "From the looks of it, it's a deal . " Therefore, Guan Xiangfeng nodded immediately . "Yes . Master, I hope you can satisfy my request . "
Fangzheng smiled genially as he said lightly, "I can't!"
"Uh…" Guan Xiangfeng was dumbfounded as he cleaned his ears, afraid that he had heard wrong .
"Jingxin, send him off . " After Fangzheng said that, he turned around and began fiddling with the bamboo to make the beds . As for giving Guan Xiangfeng Frost Bamboo? What a joke! He owed nothing to him, and on the contrary, Jiang Zhou still owed his life to him! He also owed the villagers for board and lodging . He was in debt, yet his apprentice was unwilling to even give pointers to the villagers on bamboo carving? With such a character, how was it possible for Fangzheng to give any Frost Bamboo to Guan Xiangfeng?
When Red Boy heard that, he immediately beamed . He ran over and pointed outside, shouting, "Patron, please!"
"This… I'm not leaving!" Guan Xiangfeng's stubbornness erupted . It was a hot day, and it was already an hour past noon . He had scaled the mountain when the day was at its hottest . He was nearly enervated, but Fangzheng actually declined him so easily and sent him on his way? Dream on!
"Are you not leaving? Think it through . I'm not inviting you to leave . If you try to act scoundrelly, I will request my senior brother to invite you out," said Red Boy with a scoff as he crossed his arms .
"I'm not leaving no matter who comes!" Guan Xiangfeng glared angrily at Fangzheng's back as he said firmly .
"Your courage is commendable . Stay here then . I'll be making a move first . " When Dog Song heard Red Boy's tone, he immediately understood something as he ran off .
