Chapter 973 Annoying Kid

It's just a simple world but the flower within her suddenly bloomed painting every corner of her heart with beautiful pink color, Guan Men Niang lowered her head to hide her joy even though she kept telling herself that this feeling was futile but she couldn't help feeling this way, the only thought she could do was to prepare herself for the inevitable heartbreak because she knew full well she didn't deserve someone like him.

"Please have a seat" Wu San Bo gestured politely to invite her to sit down then he waved his hand on the table and several ceramic boxes appeared, "I got new cakes from my shop, you might want to taste them?"

Guan Men Niang's face lit up looking at the colorful and cute looking desserts, he thought all the food from Wu San Bo not only tasted good but also the shape and packaging were very novel, unlike anything she had ever seen, "May I..." Guan Men Niang took a seat and her eyes swept across the table full of cute desserts with excitement.

"Of course, enjoy your meal, I'll brew some tea first." Wu San Bo casually said.

Feeling guilty just sitting around Guan Men Niang quickly got up from her chair "No, let me…"

"Sit down!" Wu San Bo gave her a reprimanding look then he continued to brew tea at another table.

Giving no way to refute the Guans, Niang reluctantly returned to his seat but he did not take his food, instead, he waited for Wu San Bo, while he waited, the sound of running water gave him a rare sense of calm. , and once again he always felt this way when he was around Wu San Bo as if a rock on his shoulder had been lifted.

As soon as he finished brewing the tea, Wu San Bo surprised Guan Men Niang to sit there watching him without touching his food, giving off a doy loyal feeling that was cute but sad at the same time.

"Why don't you eat?" Wu San Bo sighed as he put the teacup in front of him.

Guan Men Niang answered honestly "It's better to eat together" she sheepishly smile.

Wu San Bo turned his gaze towards him and he inadvertently avoided his gaze. Wu San Bo took a deep breath then sat in front of him then he took some cakes onto Gu Men Niang's plate and said "You should try this"

"Yes.." Guan Men Niang nodded obediently then picked up the chopsticks and started eating, although he kept his head down so Wu San Bo could see that she was enjoying his meal.

Wu San Bo watched her while sipping his tea while Guan Men Niang enjoyed his meal quietly but the aura around her soften a lot indicating she had lowered her guards down.

After a while, Wu San Bo ask, "How are you doing?"

Guan Men Niang thought Wu San Bo was asking about the situation in the Heaven's Gate sect situation she quickly put down her chopsticks then took a sip of tea and started reporting everything she knew.

"Actually the situation is quite tense lately, it's because some sects withdrew their support from The heaven's Gate sect after they lost to Hei Shen sect and the faction that against Mada Duan Shu Shu take this chance to blame Wei Zu Tian"

Wu San Bo didn't correct her, looks like she's too focused on completing his task then again GUan Men Niang rarely takes care of herself, oh well since he'll be here for a while, therefore, he can keep an eye on her.

"Oh, so the inner turmoil has begun" Wu San Bo sneered.

Guan Men Niang didn't hide her joy then she nodded "Yes, now within the Heaven's Gate sect the power has split into two factions, one is the people who support Duan Shu Shu and Wei Zu Tian while the second is the people who oppose them,"

"Haven't the two factions always fought like this?" Wu San Bo asked while rubbing his jaw.

"Yes, but never this great because they were all afraid of the Duan family and Wei Zu Tian, but then someone spread the news about Wei Zu Tian being seriously injured by Lord Long Ming then they thought this was a good opportunity to suppress Duan Shu Shu faction also many people are starting to switch sides as well," said Guan Men Niang.

"What does Duan Shu shu side says?" Wu san Bo narrows his eyes.

Guan Men Niang pondered for a moment then she looked at Wu San Bo with a confused expression, "Strange, they didn't say anything…."

Wu San Bo pursed his lips then a faint tremor of amusement was on his lips "It seems Duan Shu Shu wants to do a 'clean sweep' in the Heaven's Gate sect"

'.',

Guan Men Niang tilted his head staring blankly "What do you mean?"

Wu San Bo supported his chin with his palm then smiled mischievously "It means…we have a chance"

____________________________

Today Lory was bored because Zhao Li Xin increased her practice time in the mystic realm inside his ring therefore Lory took this time to take a walk alone….kidding, Girsha and Mong Ki also came with her and they dressed modestly in hopes they will blend with the crowd. Unfortunately, Mong Ki is quite manly therefore he garners quite a bit of attention from young girls but certainly not as much as Zhao Li Xin, and Girsha also garners a bit of attention from others as well but since they don't feel any power coming from Girsha they think she's just a pretty bird which is useless so no one bothers as the result their stroll time is quite peaceful.

[You look happy?] Girsha perched on Lory's shoulder while talking through a telepathic connection.

[You know how rare I'm taking a stroll without anyone asking for a fight with me?] Lory smiled in absolute contentment while enjoying the noise on the street and the gentle breeze.

"Be careful madam!" Mong Ki suddenly stretch his arm in front of Lory then suddenly a butt flew in front of her and then rolled on the ground like a ball.

[There goes your peaceful time] Girsha quipped.

"You stupid Son, what do you think you doing!" a middle-aged man appear at the front gate he look like in his forties, he got a long black beard and appear dignified however his eyes right now were burning with fire "Is it not enough you almost killed all your subordinates and friends and now you want to repeat your mistakes again!"

'',

The man's loud voice attract everyone's attention, meanwhile, the one who was rolling on the ground, painstakingly pull himself from the ground showing his face covered with bruised he glare at the middle age man "I will not go back, if I do people will laughing at me they will think I'm useless and weak, you had no idea what they say about me behind your back!" he screamed with tears brimming in his eyes.

"He looks Familiar…." Lory tilts her head and mumbles.

[Yeah, that stupid face seems familiar to me too…but where do I see that face?] Girsha also cocked his little head in the same curious manner.

"Tao Bing Wen…" Mong Ki frown.

Lory clasped his hands as he finally recalled the brat he met when they were harassed by the Iron Sect, didn't Yang Xi Ying tell him that the child was beaten by his father, it seems the beating was still continuing.

"Then go alone if you insist on seeking death, don't bite your people with your stupidity!" the dignified middle-aged man shouted loudly then flicked his cloak and turned into the gate while his men looked confused but decided to come in and closed the gate.

Tao Bing Wen looked at him in disbelief that he was abandoned, he looked sad and hurt because no one cared about him, tears almost fell on his cheeks but he quickly wiped his eyes.

Meanwhile, Lory was conflicted about whether she should greet him or ignore him but remembering how annoying the stupid kid was, Lory decides to ignore him, Lory then signs Mong Ki with her eyes to get out of here before the kid notices them. Lory and Mong Ki then quietly took a detour as they prepare to leave but suddenly they hear shouts.

"You, wait a minute!"

Lory bit her lips and cursed inwardly then she turn around with a forced smile plastered on her face "Hello young master, what a coincidence!"

"Aren't you the one I help before?" Tao Bing Wen's face suddenly lit up "Since I help you before, now I will give you a chance to repay your debt!" he smugly said with his arms resting on his hips.

Lory's face turn awry, actually, at that time Lory didn't need Tao Bing Wen's help at all and if there was any help it was Yang Zhou who helped them in the end, meanwhile, this kid only do was run his mouth and acting tough.

However Lory swallows her annoyance, so she braces herself and smiles kindly "How can I help young master Tao?"
