“It’s Master Gu.”
“Master Gu?” Fan Jin frowned, “What’s he doing here?”
“Master Gu said he invites you for tea…to discuss some matters.” The enforcement leader said in a low voice.
Fan Jin rubbed his forehead, impatiently said: “Tell him maybe another day…I’m not in a good mood today.”
“Alright,” said the enforcement leader, “I’ll go tell him you’re not in a good mood and to come back another day.”
Fan Jin’s forehead twitched, his temper flared, he gritted his teeth: “Are you… thick-headed? Can you reply to someone like that? I’ve told you so many times, why can’t you remember! You should say I’m ‘busy with affairs’, and ‘invite him to come another day’.”
Fan Jin felt desperate.
They say a spiritual land raises special people, non-spiritual land, non-special people.
This godforsaken place of Solitary Mountain City, with its harsh conditions, recruits some enforcement leaders whose brains aren’t sharp and whose speech isn’t smooth.
“Oh, okay…” The enforcement leader memorized “busy with affairs”, “come another day”, and walked out the door.
“Wait,” Fan Jin frowned, asked, “Did Master Gu come alone?”
“No,” the enforcement leader said, “he also brought a follower.”
“Follower?” Fan Jin frowned, waved his hand, a bit dispirited, “Then never mind.”
The enforcement leader walked out a few steps.
Just as he was about to leave, Fan Jin felt uneasy, called him to stop: “Hold on!”
Fan Jin asked: “This ‘follower’… what do they look like?”
The enforcement leader pondered for a moment, described: “…fair-skinned, not very tall, quite handsome.”
Before he finished speaking, the originally slumped Fan Jin immediately sprang up from his chair like a carp flipping out of water.
“You’re really… gonna be the end of me someday.” Fan Jin was extremely annoyed.
Just a little, just a little more…
“Quick, go invite them in!” Fan Jin ordered.
The enforcement leader was taken aback, said “Yes”, and was about to turn around when Fan Jin stopped him again.
“Forget it…” Fan Jin pondered, “No need to invite; I’ll go myself!”
“You’re going yourself?” The enforcement leader was stunned.
“Yes.”
Fan Jin somehow took out a mirror.
He tidied his clothes in the mirror, adjusted his hair crown, and then promptly put on an extremely bright smile, walked out of the inner hall with a brisk step, leaving the enforcement leader with a look as if he’d seen a ghost.
When he left the inner hall and came to the front yard, seeing Mo Hua from a distance, Fan Jin’s eyes lit up, and his smile became even more radiant.
“Master Gu! Young Master Mo! Pardon my neglect, please forgive me, please forgive me!”
Fan Jin was exceedingly enthusiastic.
Times have changed for the better, fortune has turned, the “great noble” has finally arrived!
