Chapter 47: Ch. 23 Part 1

YanZhi took hold of Xiao Ling’s hand when the got to his sanctuary while Yue run happily, they were five people waiting for them. When they saw YanZhi and Xiao Ling approached four cupped their hands happily and respectfully and greeted excitedly.

" Master, Mistress! " they were so excited to see their master after months since their master returned and the opportunity to get to meet Xiao Ling.

" Little wife these are my other four disciples..... Lin the second, Feng the third, Chang the fourth and finally Liu... Pay greetings to your Mistress " YanZhi introduced and said.... they all kowtowed to Xiao Ling. Lin was a burly looking young man and he seemed to be the eldest amongst all five including Yue, but since Yue’s cultivation was advanced over theirs she got the title of the eldest disciple. Feng and Chang have slim features and Feng seemed like he was the oldest after Lin and before Yue... Chang and Liu seemed to be the same age and the youngest of them all. Liu seemed to be the shy type she had her hand raised covering half of her enchanting face, they all looked very handsome and enchanting.

" Ah mistress is happy to be able to meet you all... Yue couldn’t stop talking about you all that I was dying to see you " Xiao Ling said with a smile and teased making Yue flustered and the others laughed...

" Since you all have advanced and formed your first core you’ll be coming down the mountain with us in the day and return in the evening just like Yue does.. until the house is built and you’ll all be living with us. You have new juniors who I’ll introduce them to you tomorrow... " They all smiled happily hearing YanZhi say they can also go down the mountain, Xiao Ling turned to look at the other younger man standing alone and looking anxious.

" Xiong Gong what about him? " Xiao Ling couldn’t help but ask.

" Master he is the tiger who took possession of one of the caves here and was also cultivating... he came out of seclusion the same day as us and he pleaded to meet you " Lin explained and both YanZhi and Xiao Ling nodded.

" wLWeren’t you a pair... I felt a pair a tiger and his mate tigress. " YanZhi watched him silently as if in deep thoughts, the young man hurriedly kowtowed.

" Answering to master, my mate wasn’t able to advance so she’s still in seclusion. I came to meet and worship master first, master please permit us to worship you as our master... master please we’ll do anything you say " he hit his head on the floor until it started bleeding making everyone surprised at his earnesty and his resolve but YanZhi still stared at him indifferently not saying anything.

" Xiong Gong what will you do about him? " Xiao Ling asked curiously.

" Hmm there’s no harm in keeping him... he has been here watching us along with his mate cultivating channeling from my qi and the arrays here. He’s smart not like the others around, since he was able to cultivate without any guidance he has potential, i give him that " YanZhi analyzed to Xiao Ling.

" Get up, you’ll be my six inner disciple and your name will be Baihu and your mate will be my seventh... " Baihu kowtowed one last time before getting up and thanking them honestly.

" Thank you master, thank you mistress... Baihu will serve you with his life for eternity " he said happily. Xiao Ling spent the rest of the day getting to know the rest of the disciples and conversing happily with YanZhi.

On the day of the opening of the diner, all of YanZhi’s disciples came to the house very early including the Lu’s. When they got to the house YanZhi and Xiao Ling were already prepared, they cupped their hands and greeted as YanZhi introduced them to each other.... Lixin, Suchang, Xiao Mi and Lan Fen cupped their hands respectfully.

" I have seen second eldest brother Lin, I have seen third eldest brother Feng, I have seen forth eldest brother Chang, I have seen fifth eldest sister Liu, I have seen sixth eldest brother Baihu" they greeted respectfully from Lin to Baihu in the arrangement which YanZhi introduced. Lin and the others nodded their heads in response and didn’t show any intimacy with the Lu’s since they were not used to being around humans yet like Yue, Lixin and Suchang went for the horse carriage and the bull cart including the one horse which wasn’t pulling the carriage. Yue approached her horse happily as a way to get her brothers and sister jealous, they looked at her petting the horse happily and turned their heads to YanZhi aggrieved.

" We’ll get you all horses before coming home today, Xiong Gong should get different horses for the carriage too. I ... want to ride my horse. " Xiao Ling assured them making them happy and said to YanZhi in a saddened tone making YanZhi chuckled.

" We’ll do that little wife... now lets get going " they all nod... YanZhi and Xiao Ling got into the cart along with Yue, Liu, Feng and Chang. Yue’s horse was given to Lin to ride on and Baihu took the coach seat with Lixin, Shuchang, Xiao Mi and Lan Fen took the bull cart before they headed to Dahu’s house to pick them up with the bull cart.... they went to pick grandma Shen and Caicai before the village head and his wife before finally heading to the county.

When they got to the diner the workers were already there and cleaned up the place, the horse carriage and bull cart went in through the back before everyone got down.. the workers greeted them respectfully and continued on with what needs to be done. Xiao Ling had them prepare the stall outside which was going to be used to hawk people because no one would believe ice can be gotten in summer, YanZhi took the board with the name ’ ZhiLing’s Diner ’ written colourfully and hanged it, he took out a paper talisman and threw it at the shop and it disappeared in a flash. Xiao Ling who saw that walked to him curiously.

" Xiong Gong what was that? " he asked in a curious tone.

" A talisman I drew.... it’s for a prosperity and good business " YanZhi said and he smiled brightly.

" Xiong Gong can draw talisman? then can you draw one that can drive away ghost?! " he said in a childish tone making YanZhi chuckled.

" Do you have a ghost bothering you? "

" No... " Xiao Ling giggled. YanZhi took out the fire crackers they bought and set them off in front of the shop.. the people who were passing by turned to look curiously and left but Xiao Ling didn’t bother since he had a plan for hawking for diners. The diner and stall were finally opened for business, Xiao Ling, Yue and Liu were the ones going to operate the stall as the others helped in the diner...

" Selling iced fruit juice, selling iced tea, get your cold dishes here " YanZhi who was standing by the door was to welcome the guests they invited couldn’t help but laughed seeing how Yue and Liu looking shy.... "Selling....iced...fruit" Liu and Yue stammered turning red from embarrassment, they couldn’t bring themselves to hawk like Xiao Ling especially Liu who was super shy. "Selling iced fruit juice, selling iced tea, get your cold dishes here" Xiao Ling hawked looking displeased. "You can go back if you can’t do it, I’m not forcing you, call the others to come if you can’t" he said with his tone cold making Liu and Yue feeling bad.

Xiao Ling had also never done such a thing like hawking in his past life, but there also was not such a thing like feeling ashamed of things like this for him. Lin and the others breathed a sigh of relief thankful that they were not the ones with Xiao Ling, they gave Yue and Liu a pitiful look.

" Mistress is scary " Chang said making the others turned back to him scared that Xiao Ling would hear him.

" If you don’t want to replace them you better shut up " Lin scolded and the others nod in agreement.

" Selling iced fruit juice, selling iced tea, get your cold dishes here " Yue and Liu got their momentum as they hawked shyly.

" Grandpa I want some... grandpa ice " an old man and a child walking by stopped as the child pointed at them.

" Pei it must be a lie... just how can they produce ice in this hot summer. Don’t let them deceive you " someone from the crowd who gathered in front of them said. A man sweating profoundly walked to them.

" Is it really ice? " he asked and Xiao Ling smiled.

" This guest it’s really ice... pay after confirming " Xiao Ling said and the man nodded.

" How much is it? "

" A small cup for four cents, a medium cup for eight cents and a large cup for fifteen cents " Xiao Ling cheerfully informed and the man nodded.

" Give me a medium cup " Xiao Ling took a porcelain cup and filled it to the brim with hawthorn ice tea and the ice cubes floating on top, the onlookers were surprised to see the floating ice but they still didn’t want to believe it. The man carefully took the cup from Xiao Ling’s hand, when he felt the cold cup he beamed before sending it to his mouth.

" It’s cold and sweet " he said after a taste before gobbling it down and left out a relaxed sigh after feeling cool on the inside.

" This boss can I get another cup? " the man asked excitedly, the onlookers who heard him hurriedly crowded in front of the stall.
