Chapter 296: Chapter 292: Fortune_1
Yingbao put down her book, “You’re the one breaking the precept of false speech, I did not see you by the river at all, speak up! Did you just get out of bed? Look, the sleep in your eyes is still stuck on your face.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Min immediately used his finger to wipe the corner of his eyes, blinking as he asked, “Do I still have sleep in my eyes?”
Yingbao picked up her book and pretended to read.
This second senior brother of hers loved to sleep in. If he knew that Master was not at home, he could sleep until high noon.
Even though he had just woken up, he was afraid that she, his junior sister, would find out and tell others, so he started a diversion.
Hmph, she knew of his tricks long ago, she wasn’t scared of being seen through by him.
“Junior sister, have you had breakfast yet?” Zhang Min started to make conversation.
“I’ve eaten.”
“Do you want to eat some more? I can get someone to bring over two bowls of osmanthus soup balls.”
“Alright.” With regards to delicious food, Yingbao was never one to refuse.
Zhang Min grinned, revealing his white teeth as he rose to go buy soup balls.
Out front of the medical office was a marketplace with many vendors selling snacks. All Zhang Min had to do was stand at the entrance and call out, and vendors would bring over food.
In no time, two bowls of osmanthus soup balls were brought over to Yingbao. Zhang Min ate one bowl, and pushed the other one towards his junior sister.
Yingbao didn’t stand on ceremony, and began to eat with a spoon.
While eating, Zhang Min said, “I treat you pretty well, right?”
Yingbao: …
“So you can’t tell elder senior brother everything.” Zhang Min coaxed, “We’re on the same side.”
Yingbao took a spoonful of sweet soup and nodded.
“Hehe.” Zhang Min chuckled in satisfaction, gulping down a bowl of soup. He wiped his mouth and said, “Wait until noon, we’ll go out and eat mutton tripe.”
Yingbao looked at him and asked, “Master and elder senior brother won’t be coming back at noon?”
“They won’t be back, they have to stay at Qinglong Temple for the whole day.” Zhang Min propped his feet onto a long bench and swung them leisurely.
After finishing a bowl of sweet soup, Yingbao felt that the food was stuck in her throat. She quickly got up and went outside to aid digestion.
Zhang Min followed her, leisurely strolling around.
The two of them were walking along the stone path in the forest, when they suddenly noticed that there seemed to be people arguing up ahead.
Yingbao’s sharp eyes immediately recognized the two people as Chen Tiantian and Wen Yurong.
Curious about what they were discussing, she quietly got closer, using her short height to hide behind a holly bush and listened carefully.
“Chen Tiantian, have you lost your mind? We’re studying medicine very well here, so why would you want to go to the Yin Yang Department?”
“I…I’m not talented enough, I can’t learn medicine…” Chen Tiantian’s voice was very low, and what she said after was too quiet to hear.
“I don’t care! If you’re switching, do it yourself! I’m not going to follow your madness!” Wen Yurong was obviously angry and stormed off.
Chen Tiantian called out from behind her, “But Imperial Teacher Xiao wants you to move forward and retreat with me. I can’t learn medicine. I can only go to the Yin Yang Department…”
Wen Yurong paused, but eventually stopped walking.
Seeing them move farther and farther away, Yingbao didn’t follow, but her mind was filled with shocking thoughts.
This Chen Tiantian really came to absorb her, but why?
Did she get close to her intending to take her cave dwelling? Or did she want to take her luck?
But how could she take it?
Yingbao frowned. As she turned her head, she saw Zhang Min’s face getting closer.
“Junior sister, what did you eavesdrop on?”
“I eavesdropped on that Chen Tiantian wanting to join our Yin Yang Department.” Yingbao looked at her second senior brother, “Can you ask Master not to accept her?”
