Chapter 54: The Rascal Fu Junru

  "Huh? Young master, how did she just leave like that? Nobody even asked her name yet!" Qin Yao suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted.

  "As far as I know, Fu Cailin has adopted three disciples, namely: Fu Junruo, Fu Junyu and Fu Junlian. If my guess is not wrong, the eldest one should be Fu Junruo." Li Jiancheng said slowly.

  "Huh? Young master, how did you know? Are you...?" Qin Yao said with a sly smile.

  Li Jiancheng tapped her forehead with his finger and said, "Don't think nonsense, how I know it's none of your business. Let's go, see if there's a place to rest ahead."

  "Young master, you're hitting people's heads again. What if you become stupid later?" Qin Yao first complained and then said: "These things are wasted here, why don't we take them away and have them as a midnight snack tonight." Qin Yao pointed to the barbecue.

  "No need, young master will make it for you to eat again when he has the chance. I didn't know you were so greedy before!" After saying that, Li Jiancheng pulled her away and left, glancing somewhere before leaving.

  "Huh? Did he see me? No way, Master said that among people of the same age, few can surpass me." This person was muttering to himself in a hidden place, and it turned out to be none other than Fu Junzhuo, who had just left. Originally, she came back to find out if we two had any intention of reporting, and if so, she could only take drastic measures, although the two were innocent, but for the sake of the country, she had no choice but to do so.

  "Besides, among our three sisters, few people in Goryeo know about us, how did he find out? Is it possible that he has someone in Goryeo? It shouldn't be, if there was, it would have been discovered long ago." Fu Junzhuo continued to think, but after a while, she couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking and suddenly realized her stomach was still hungry. She walked out slowly and started eating barbecue.

  "I didn't expect the things he made were so delicious, hurry up and eat, then catch up with him."

  ……

  "Young master, there's a temple up ahead." Qin Yao suddenly shouted, she had seen the broken-down temple in front of them and was excitedly shouting about it. Of course, she had already seen it, and Li Jiancheng had seen it even earlier.

  "Alright, let's rest inside for the night then!" Li Jiancheng said as he walked towards the broken temple.

  Pushing open the temple door, in the center is a statue of Guan Yu, while around it are broken offering tables. Nowadays people can't even get enough to eat, who has extra things to offer? On the ground there is also some dry grass, just right for spreading out and resting on.

  "Young master, let me help you set up a place to rest." Qin Yao saw the dry grass on the ground and quickly got to work. Although they usually joked and played around, when it was time to get things done, she would still lend a hand. Li Jiancheng didn't stop her either. Once he had tried to stop her before, but that only made her cry. He asked her why she was crying, and she said maybe he wasn't satisfied with her, didn't want her anymore? He felt helpless about this. He just couldn't get used to having someone serve him, after all, he was a young man from the future, how could he do something so corrupt? But she refused to listen, and in the end, he had no choice but to let her have her way.

  Soon, Qin Yao had laid out two resting places, and the two of them lay down to start chatting. "Young Master, do you think that Miss Fu will succeed in her assassination attempt?" Li Jiancheng only then realized that gossiping was a natural talent for women, and every female had this innate ability.

  "What do you think?" Li Jiancheng asked back, seeing her shake her head, he then explained: "Of course it won't succeed, do you think the guards in the palace are just for show? If she were a master like her teacher, there might be some hope of success, but unfortunately she's not, so it will definitely fail. And who knows, she might even lose her own life."

  "What a pity!" Qin Yao shook her head and sighed.

  "What a pity!" Li Jiancheng asked in puzzlement.

  "Fu's young lady is so beautiful, if she dies like this, wouldn't it be a pity? If we let her warm the bed for Young Master instead, wouldn't that be better?" Qin Yao said with a sly smile.

  "Alright! You're now daring to mock me, aren't you? It seems like you're thinking of men, I'll have Young Master find a suitable husband for you and get you married off." She was actually pitied by this, leaving Li Jiancheng speechless. Does he look like that kind of person?

  "Master, don't! You're always thinking of sending me away, am I really that unwelcome?" Qin Yao said with a resentful look at Li Jiancheng.

  "Cough, cough..." Li Jiancheng cleared his throat, feeling a bit awkward under her gaze. "Miss Fu, have you been listening for so long and still haven't had enough? Why don't you come in and listen?" Li Jiancheng suddenly turned around and said to the outside of the door.

  "Just passing by, I saw this broken temple and thought of coming in to rest. Didn't expect the two of you to be here." Fu Junru's face turned slightly red after being discovered, having just eaten someone else's food and now eavesdropping on their conversation, feeling quite unscrupulous. Luckily, she reacted quickly and immediately thought of an excuse.

  "Oh! So that's how it is!" Li Jiancheng looked at her with a half-smile: Let's see how thick your skin can be, whether you can withstand my gaze.

  As expected, she soon lowered her head under Li Jiancheng's gaze. "Fu sister, come over and join me! Anyway, the one I laid out earlier is big enough." Nowadays, Qin Yao has also resigned herself to her fate, who made her older after all? However, she doesn't care, anyway, she will rely on Master Shao for the rest of her life, and Feng'er sister has also agreed to let me enter the door in the future. Just thinking about having Dugu Feng's agreement, Qin Yao felt a sense of confidence.

  "Good!" Having received Qin Yao's invitation, Fu Junruo responded with a low voice and ran over.

  Li Jiancheng saw Qin Yao like this and was too lazy to care about her, so he said a word of early rest and continued on the road tomorrow, then turned his face to sleep.

  Fu Junzhu's face was full of grievance, as if to say that she wasn't welcome either and didn't even want to talk much. But I'll keep pestering you, let's see what you can do! Fu Junzhu made a secret decision in her heart.

  The next day when I woke up, Fu Junzhuo was already gone, presumably she had left. Qin Yao also woke up and stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.

  "Yao'er, get ready to set off, wake up." Li Jiancheng shouted at her.

  "I haven't even had breakfast yet!" Qin Yao replied without looking at him.

  "Then let's go find something to eat!" Li Jiancheng saw that she still didn't get up and was about to go over and pull her.

  "I'm back!" Suddenly I heard a voice coming over, turned around and found it was Fu Junzhuo.

  "Didn't you leave?" Li Jiancheng asked in puzzlement.

  "No way! I'll go pick some fruit for breakfast! You guys treated me to those things yesterday, today it's my turn to find something for you to eat." Fu Jun said with a smile, as if it was only natural.

  "Oh!" Li Jiancheng responded faintly and stopped talking, while Qin Yao ran over, picked up the fruit and ate it, and helped Li Jiancheng pick a few to wipe clean, then handed them to him.

  After a while, Guozi finished eating and continued on the road. Li Jiancheng furrowed his brow, wondering why Fu Jun was still following them, so he asked: "Why aren't you leaving? What are you doing following us?"

  "What? Aren't we all on the same path?" Fu Jun asked, seemingly surprised.

  "Fellow traveler? When did I ever say we were fellow travelers?" Li Jiancheng asked in confusion, he remembered that he hadn't said that, had he?

  "I didn't say you said it!" Fu Junzhu's face showed a look of "I knew it", "Yesterday when I was chatting with Yaoer sister, she told me that you guys are also going to Yangzhou?" Fu Junzhu looked at Li Jiancheng with pure eyes, as if trying to see through his thoughts.

  Li Jiancheng glared at Qin Yao fiercely, who let you talk so much. Qin Yao also gave him a glance back, how about it? I just want to say that, it's killing you! Seeing her like this, Li Jiancheng was helpless, it's all because he had been too good to her usually, looking at it, there's no way to get rid of Fu Junxiao, so he didn't care about the two women anymore, and he just walked ahead with his head down.

  "Yao'er sister, will your young master get angry?" Fu Jun asked anxiously after seeing Li Jiancheng leave without saying a word.

  "Fu's sister, don't worry. Our young master is a kind person, nothing will happen!" Qin Yao said, patting her already considerable bust.

  "Oh! So that's how it is, then let's catch up first! Otherwise, if Young Master Li leaves before us, it won't be good." Fu Junru said anxiously after losing sight of Li Jiancheng.

  "Hey, don't worry. Young Master is waiting for us up ahead, we'll just follow slowly." Qin Yao said with her chest out. But Fu Junru was still a bit worried and insisted on speeding up, Qin Yao had no choice but to quicken their pace, and indeed they saw Li Jiancheng waiting under the tree up ahead.

  "Hurry up and keep up with me, or I'll go ahead without you." Li Jiancheng said irritably.

  "Here..." Qin Yao stuck out her tongue and then pulled Fu Junruo along with her.

  Fu Junzhu was amazed in her heart: these two people, one young master and one servant girl, how can they get along so harmoniously? The servant girl is not afraid of the young master, and the young master does not seem to be angry either. It's really a strange relationship between master and servant.
