Chapter 58: Big trouble (2/2)
“Then why?” Ye Chuan asked somewhat curiously.
“Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, it’s all because of you. Because I take you to the Ghost Market for a stroll, Miss Jiajia is angry. Yesterday, after you walked away with Liu Hong in the underground Ghost Market, all the anger fell onto me, it was so disastrous to me.” Fatty drooped his head and aggrievedly said.
“Oh, so it was like that.”
Ye Chuan smiled, recalling Zhu Sijia’s that acknowledging defeat and angrily stomping her foot appearance in the underground Ghost Market, “Fatty, is this a trouble for you? Didn’t your family have rice stores everywhere around Di Qin Dynasty, and you don’t lack money? So why are you bickering about such trivial amount of silvers?”
“My family had rice stores, and originally the business was also doing really great, but later……, later for the sake of sending me to the mountain to cultivate, my family sold a lot of property, and then my family encountered a number of matters, and declined gradually.”
Fatty said in a low voice, then pausing for a bit, he carried on, “Last night, my family sent someone to bring the news. When my father went out to trade rice, don’t know how but he offended a big clan, which resulted in all of the money being robbed without speaking, and he was even beaten to the verge of the death. And even after spending the remaining fortune of the family, it was not enough to heal my father, so now I can no longer continue to cultivate inside the sect. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, today I came here to help Miss Jiajia pass on the message. Great Elder wants you to go to the Cloud Mist Hall early in the morning tomorrow, and hand in the name list of the participants you have chosen for this Great Competition. In addition, I also come to you to bid farewell, I……, I am leaving Cloud Mist Sect.”
“What? Fatty, you are leaving Cloud Mist Sect?” Ye Chuan was extremely surprised.
Fatty didn’t speak, but slowly nodded his head, then said with a sad look, “All these years, I was still unable to become the inner disciple of the sect, breaking through to Rank 1 Xiushi realm is also useless. Father is seriously injured, and the financial situation of my family is declining, so as the eldest son of the family, this time I naturally have to go back to bear the heavy burden. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I’m sorry, I have offended you many times before. Today, I fear this is the last time I will be calling you Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.”
Fatty said with a serious look, in a span of one night, he seemed to have changed into a grown-man from a teenage boy who only knew how to seek pleasure and make merry.
“Slow down, fatty, don’t be too impatient. Even if you immediately return to your home, I fear you will not be much of a help. For the matters of money, we can think about a way together. Wait until the Great Competition is over, then we will go down the mountain together to examine your father. Senior apprentice-brother, I also haven’t gone done the mountain for a long time.” Ye Chuan stopped smiling. When fatty who had followed him everywhere was in a hard time, he naturally wouldn’tlook on with folded arms.
“Thank you, thank you, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!”
The eyes of Fatty Zhao Dazhi shone, what was making him worried was not only silvers, furthermore was also the injuries of his father. Although he had already broken through to Rank 1 Xiushi, but he practically knew nothing about alchemy and treating the injuries, and felt that, he had cultivated in Cloud Mist Sect for so many years in vain. But Ye Chuan was different, before he had pretended as ignorant, remaining calm and collected, but secretly was an expert, even Second Elder come to him to ask for advice, so if he went down the mountain to help then there would be a hope for curing his father’s injuries.
Fatty was very happy, but thinking a bit, his complexion couldn’t help but sink again, “Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, recently you are also having many troubles, dealing with Great Competition, and also guarding against some villains inside the sect, so how can I have the face to trouble you with this matter?”
“It’s okay, that’s just a small matter, just wait a bit.”
Ye Chuan indifferently smiled, as if from the start, the upcoming Great Competition was a simple matter. Then turning around, he entered the study, then picking up a brush, he wrote for a while in a black sheet of paper. After that, he folded that paper, and handed over to the fatty, “Fatty, take this and sell it in the underground Ghost Market. Remember, don’t sell it too cheaply, sell it in at least this amount.”
Ye Chuan spread his five fingers and shook in front of fatty.
“50 taels of silver?” Fatty asked.
Ye Chuan shook his head.
“500 taels of silver?” Fatty said with sparkling eyes.
Ye Chuan still shook his head.
“Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, 5……, 5000 taels of silver?”
Fatty began to pant, selling this trivial piece of paper for several thousand taels of silver, are other people blockhead in money matters?
Fatty Zhao Dazhi couldn’t help but be doubtful in his heart. He opened the paper and saw that many obscure texts were written on the paper, furthermore there were a number of odd design, and looked very sloppy. Not a calligraphy work, nor cultivation technique, merely was a scribble, “Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, this……, what is this?”
Fatty had doubts, was very disappointed in his heart and his looks also disheartened. Such piece of paper, not to mention a large sum of silvers, even if given away for free, no-one might want it.
“Fatty, no matter what this is, take it to the Ghost Market, and there inevitably will be a person that knows what’s what, just remember, what I have taught you, now go. With this money, you and your family will be able to tide over a difficult time for the time being.” Ye Chuan smiled and said nothing more.
“Fine, I will go to try!”
Fatty stood up to leave being a laden with anxiety, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said: “Oh, that’s right, Big Senior Apprentice-brother, with regarding to the participants name list of Great Competition, it would be best to personally ask Miss Jiajia, she is clearest about the situation of the sect. Allegedly, after the news of Great Competition, many elite disciples of the sect who were outside for experience have rushed back in succession. Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect are well prepared, so it would be best to select the real elite disciples of the sect to resist them.”
Fatty reminded Ye Chuan and left with large strides.
“Elite disciples?”
Ye Chuan whispered in disdain, but, thinking for a bit, he still went down the mountain, going towards the mountain where Zhu Sijia resided.
