Chapter 36: Ch. 18 Part 1

Yue led Xiao Ling to all fruit trees one after the other she had seen on the mountain... she first took him to where he could get wild berries, Xiao Ling sighed regretfully as he saw a lot of berries on the floor under the berry tree. It looked like people here don’t really concern themselves with fruits so the fruits on the trees are left to rot and regrow years after years...

" let’s pick all the berries on the tree... it would still stay the way it is in my dungeon " he said to Yue and started to pick the berries using their qi... it didn’t take long before they cleared up all the good berries on the tree and floor leaving only rotten ones. After the searched again and saw a wild pear tree which they picked all the pears too from the tree... they did the same to the wild peach tree and plum tree they found and continued on clearing all fruit trees of their fruits which they found in their way, they concealed themselves with qi and went deeper where the wild animals reside in search for fruits.

Xiao Ling stopped Yue as he spotted the vines of wild grapes which they stopped to pick the grapes clearing the vines of it’s grapes. They found wild strawberries and cleared that too along with wild apples, Xiao Ling decided that was enough adventuring into the deeper parts of the mountain as it was getting near the time to start cooking dinner. They decided to return for now and come back another day, when they were almost out of the mountain Xiao Ling spotted a vine looking fruit which was familiar yet not familiar to him, he bend to and took hold of the vine and inspect it’s fruits trying to recall where he has seen it before.

His eyes glittered as he finally recalled which made him smiled brightly.. Yue was confused to why he would be happy over a vine so she walked to him to see what made him so happy, she stared skeptically at him as she saw what was in his hands and couldn’t help but ask

" mistress do you want to pick the medicine fruit? " She asked confused because there was no way Xiao Ling could get sick which requires him to take medicine... YanZhi can refine medicine pills for him and there was even no way YanZhi would allow Xiao Ling to be sick in the first place. Xiao Ling shook his head and continued to pick the fruits throwing them to his dungeon

" Yue these are jelly fruits.. they’re good things. Tho it’s use for medicinal purposes here I can use them for another purpose, don’t worry I’ll make them when we get back so you’ll see... I’ll make them into delicious desert " Xiao Ling said with tranquility but that still didn’t assure Yue as she watched him continued picking the fruits insecure.

After he was done they cut a lot of grasses for the horses and throw them into the dungeon before finally going down the mountain, they could hear some commotions as they got closer to the house. Seeing the villagers crowded at the house they only had one thing in mind and which was the Jun family causing problems again, ’ ah this people are so persistent ’ Xiao Ling thought and walked to the house in a hurry

" give way and let us through! " Yue shouted making the crowds startled before they made way for them through.

" Ah the broomstar and fox spirit are finally back! " grandma said pointing to them " since the head refuses to come out, the wife can give us the answer.. village head, ask him to give us answer for what they’ve done to my Xangren " Du Shi added with crocodile tears making the village head sighed. He was really getting tired of these people’s dramas but he couldn’t send them out of the village because of Xiangzhi and they haven’t done anything which deserved to be sacked from the village.... and if he ignores them too it’ll ruin his reputation as a village head making him loose face among the village heads of the nearby villages.

" Xiao Ling the Jun household brought your reports over saying Xangren was beaten when he came to visit you... he’s face is now swollen which required the village doctor to treat him. Father Jun wants an answer from you and for you to pay the cost for his treatment, that’s why we’re here now and it looks like Master Yan refuses to come out. " The village head said apologetically to Xiao Ling... if it was up to him he wouldn’t come to disturb them but he had to do his work as the village head in other not to loose face.

" village head I understand but did Xangren told you why he was hit? " Xiao Ling asked with tranquil making the village head turn to the father Jun in anger shaking his head

" no they didn’t.. they just said he was beaten in your house today " at the moment the door of the house was opened... YanZhi stood at the door way as his sight searched for Xangren in the crowd, when his sight caught him YanZhi pointed at him with his face looking serene.

" You... didn’t I tell you not to come here again? " YanZhi asked in a very calm voice making everyone who heard it shivered and Xangren nearly ran with his tails between his legs but when his wife step in front to shield him he got his momentum back and stood proud.

" don’t talk to my son that way! who are you to tell him not to come here again?! I raised you when your mother died when you were still at a very young age, I treat you like my very own flesh and when you got rich you become unfilial forgetting those who raised you to be who you are now... you’re even disowning your parents, grandmother and siblings! " Du Shi yelled at him and the crowd nod agreeing with her, in this time and space filial piety was a must and if you’re deemed unfilial you can be hanged for that so Du Shi using that against YanZhi was ruining his reputation and could cause many problems for them

" mother what are you saying? eldest brother has always been filial and he’s still is even after the separation.. second brother must have done something to be beaten by eldest brother since there was never once has eldest brother laid his hand on his siblings let alone anyone in the village.... "

" shut up.. what do you know? " grandma shut Chuntao up as she tried defending YanZhi which made Xiao Ling like her more but that still didn’t do anything... most of the villagers didn’t like YanZhi and Xiao Ling because of envy and jealousy so they sided with the Jun family.... YanZhi watched those who sided with the Jun family well as if recording their faces in mind for future purpose before he opened his mouth

" Mother I thank you for raising me up from the age of three until the age of six which you all worked me almost to death... and for that the silver tael I pay as filial piety to the house you also gain from it.. when I came back I gave twenty taels and still I’m unfilial? okay, I farmed for you all overworking me again and most of the preys I hunted ever since I came back were given to you all.. and yet still I’m unfilial? That’s alright... if all the things I did for you all didn’t make me filial then I want to stay unfilial... but what do you call someone who is a color-seeking wolf and a lazy bug? " Gaps disrupted when they heard the question YanZhi asked.. they didn’t care when he listed what he had done for the Jun family the only thing the crowd cared about was the new gossip they get to talk about which was YanZhi calling Xangren a lecher

" what do you mean by calling your second brother a color-seeking wolf just because he hit your slave for disrespecting him! " father Jun questioned in fury but YanZhi, Xiao Ling and Yue were looking at everyone presented with serenity. They felt that the people who followed the Jun family with intentions to see them make fool of themselves were brainless.

" Xangren was lusting over Yue’s body and hit her on the face after she was pissed off by him... so I had her return back the slap. I never hit Xangren he just got what he asked for, and also Yue is not a slave " Zhao Shi turned to Xangren with red eyes as tears threatened to flow out of them.... she felt so furious when she heard that the husband with whom she had being with for years now and with two children was lusting for another woman.
