Chapter 48 Change of Heart

On the back mountain of the small bamboo house, Yuan Chaomei sat opposite Wen Huifang who was sewing a black cloak.

Wen Huifang smiled at Yuan Chaomei and asked, "Do you think the chief will like this?"

Yuan Chaomei said, "I think he will like it. The chief is not a picky person." She looked at Wen Huifang. "Wen qianbei, what is the occasion, why do you suddenly make the chief cloak?"

Wen Huifang smiled and continued stitching. She said, "When I was a teenager, I planned to make right guard Zan a cloak when he take over the leader seat and become the new leader of Sunset Sector, but our sectors was destroyed before I could finish it. This time, I want to make sure that the day chief walks into Central Plains, he will be wearing this cloak."

Yuan Zixin walked into the room and stood in front of the two women. He bowed to Wen Huifang. He said, "Wen Qianbei, where is the chief now. I need to discuss something with him."

Wen Huifang took her needle, scratched her forehead twice, and continued to sew. She said, "Chief is in seclusion. Chief ordered to not disturb him."

Yuan Zixin, "Where is this seclusion?"

Wen Huifang smiled and said, "I don't know, nor dare to ask." She looked up at Yuan Zixin. "Zixin, you don't have to worry about anything. The chief already has a plan to kill the enemies."

Yuan Zixin asked, "I have heard that the chief is practicing a new skill. Is this real or not?"

Wen Huifang raised her head and rolled her eyes at Yuan Zixin, "Real or not we will see in couples of days."

Yuan Zixin, "I have prepared so many plans for this day, and I will not let anyone destroy it."

Yuan Chaomei said, "Godfather, the chief doesn't tells us about this kind of things. Please stop asking?"

Yuan Zixin looked at Yuan Chaomei, "Have you meet him since he is in seclusion?"

Yuan Chaomie said, "Yes."

Wen Huifang chuckled, "You see, your daughter even vouch."

Yuan Zixn, "Where is he?"

Yuan Chaomei, "I'm sorry father, I don't know. A few days ago, chief said he will go into seclusion, but we don't know where."

Yuan Zixin looked at Chaomei, "Is the chief avoiding me?"

Yuan Chaomei replied, "Father, please don't asked me because I don't know."

Yuan Zixin said angrily, "Very well. Such a loyal subject. You stay here and take care of Wen qianbei." He walked out.

Wen Huifang said, "What a pity that Yuan Dai-xiong's son turned out this way." She continued to stitch.

Along the dirt road, the six people are walking towards towards the Mu treasure cave. They encountered many martial artists along the way. At the foot of the mountain, they were met with many people from different sectors and clans, sitting around the open roadside teahouse. The whole place is booked.

Cao Yanmei who had experienced the deadly of the Mu treasure Cave frowned, "Look at these idiots, they will die sooner or later." She sighed. Then someone touched her left shoulder, and she turned around. "Red qianbei."

Red Mice, "We are sitting over there."

Cao Yanmei asked, "My ge, is he here?"

Red Mice nodded. Cao Yanmei followed Red Mice towards the far end where a group of Beixing Sector members were sitting.

Wu Jianping stepped forward to greet Rao Zhengsheng, , "Rao-xiong."

Rao Zhengsheng, "Leader Wu."

Wu Jianping said, "Rao-xiong, Yuan guniang, if you don't mind please come sit at my table."

Rao Zhengsheng took Xue Horan's hand and they followed Wu Jianping to his table. Everyone sat down. Rao Zhengsheng and Wu Jianping began to talk.

Yongzheng looked at the gathered people, there was no place to sit, and he decided to sit under a tree farther away from the sitting martial artists. He was used to sitting alone, so he didn't think too much.

Xue Horan turned around and looked at Yongzheng, who was sitting alone away from other people. Then he looked at Rao Zhengsheng who was talking with Wu Jianping and Wei Shuai. Xue Horan stood up and walked to the teahouse owner.

Xue Horan said, "What food do you have?"

The owner replied, "I'm sorry, I am back with orders. You have to wait one to two hours before I can complete your order for you."

Xue Horan asked, "Is there anything else?"

The owner replied, "You could either eat pork steam bun or plain rice."

Xue Horan said, "Can I get ten pork steam buns and a pot of tea?"

The owner said, "Laopo, give this young man ten pork steam buns and a pot of tea."

The owner wife quickly grabbed the seven steamed buns onto a plate, a small bowl, and a pot of tea. She placed them in front of Xue Horan.

The owner wife said, "I'm sorry, young gongzi, these are the last seven steam pork buns."

Xue Horan smiled and said, "It's alright, it's better than nothing." Xue Horan paid the owner's wife and grabbed the plate of steam buns, the pot of tea, and the small bowl. He walked to Yongzheng.

When Yongzheng saw Xue Horan walking towards him. He stood up and said, "Horan..." Xue Horan handed a plate of steamed buns to Yongzheng. He looked at Xue Horan. "Thank you."

Xue Horan sat down and said, "Do you want to eat while standing?" Yongzheng sat down beside Xue Horan. "I asked the owner, but he said that he have many orders, so today we have to eat this. I originally wanted to buy ten, but he has only seven." He poured out the tea in the small bowl and handed it to Yongzheng.

Yongzheng said, "Horan, go back and sit at the table." He took the bowl from Xue Horan's hand and took a sip.

Xue Horan smiled at him and said, "I don't know what those people are talking about or what they are boasting about. Listening to them is like listening to another language." He grabbed a steamed pork bun and handed it to Yongzheng. "I would rather sit here, eat under this tree, and wait for the wind with you."

Yongzheng smiled and took the steamed bun. He continued to eat. He watched Xue Horan pick up the same bowl of tea and drank it. The two men sat embracing the wind under the tree and happily ate their pork steam buns.

After the waiter put the dishes on the table, Rao Zhengsheng discovered that Xue Horan was not sitting next to Yuan Xiurong. He looked around and found Xue Horan and Yongzheng sitting under the tree, eating and drinking from the same bowl. He saw Xue Horan picked up the last bun on the plate, breaking it in half, giving one half to Yongzheng and Xue Horan eat the other half. He clenched his hands, his heart beating wildly with anger and jealousy.

Xue Horan smiled and said, "Yongzheng, it feels pretty good to eat on the side of the road like this. I want to travel around this land and taste all kinds of delicious food."

Yongzheng said, "Alright, I will accompany you."

Xue Horan turned his head to look at Yongzheng and smiled. He said, "This is a promise. Let us travel together one day and taste all the food that the world offers us."

Yongzheng smiled and said, "Alright."
