Fangzheng was also infuriated by Red Boy's words. He hurriedly pulled him to the side and got up. He pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Patron, please don't take offense. Although This Penniless Monk's disciple isn't young anymore, he still has the temper of a child."
"He isn't young anymore?" Guan Xiangfeng was taken aback. He looked at Red Boy, whose skin was as tender as jade. He looked no more than a child. Was Fangzheng treating him as a fool? Guan Xiangfeng chuckled dryly. Just as he was about to mock Fangzheng, he swept his gaze across the Frost Bamboo on the ground. He suddenly recalled that he was here to ask for a favor, not to find fault. Hence, he took a deep breath and said, "Forget it. I won't stoop to the level of a child."
"I won't stoop to the level of a child either." Red Boy scoffed as he mimicked Guan Xiangfeng's words.
Guan Xiangfeng looked unhappily at Fangzheng. The meaning in his eyes was clear. Aren't you going to discipline this brat?
Fangzheng could not help but smile wryly. How was he to discipline him? Red Boy hadn't said anything wrong! Compared to him, apart from being bigger and having a longer beard than Red Boy, he couldn't even be considered a great-grandson in terms of age. Yet, there was no way to explain it.
After Dog Song caught his breath, he raised his hand and slapped Guan Xiangfeng on the shoulder when he saw that Guan Xiangfeng was still making things difficult for Fangzheng. "Do you want the Frost Bamboo or not? Is there anyone who asks for help like you? Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times when he went to invite him. Shouldn't you at least look like you're asking for something? "
Fangzheng was taken aback when he heard that. "Ask for something? Ask for what? "
Dog Song hurriedly recounted Guan Xiangfeng's matter, including how Guan Xiangfeng had mocked Lame Ma. When Guan Xiangfeng heard the first half, he imagined that Dog Song was speaking up for him. But the more he listened, the more he felt that something was amiss. Although it was the truth, why did Dog Song keep mentioning the bad stuff? Hence, he glared at him, yearning to tear the bastard apart!
Fangzheng originally did not know what Jiang Zhou did for a living. Only after hearing Dog Song's explanation did he realize that Jiang Zhou was a sculptor. And from the looks of it, he had quite the background. With this in mind, Fangzheng smiled at Guan Xiangfeng. "Patron, do you wish to ask for the Frost Bamboo as a gift to your master?"
Guan Xiangfeng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Fangzheng smiling warmly. He thought to himself, "From the looks of it, this matter will succeed." Therefore, Guan Xiangfeng nodded immediately. "Yes. Master, please fulfill my wish."
Fangzheng smiled warmly and said lightly, "No!"
"Uh …" Guan Xiangfeng was dumbfounded as he dug his ears, thinking that he had heard wrong.
"Jingxin, send the guest off." After Fangzheng said that, he turned around and continued fiddling with the bamboo to make a bed. As for giving Guan Xiangfeng the Frost Bamboo? What a joke. It was not like he owed Guan Xiangfeng anything. On the contrary, Jiang Zhou owed Fangzheng his life! He even owed the villagers food and lodging … He owed a huge debt, but his disciple was not even willing to teach the villagers how to carve bamboo. With such a character, how could Fangzheng give the Frost Bamboo to Guan Xiangfeng?
When Red Boy heard this, he immediately smiled and ran over. He pointed outside and shouted, "Almsgiver, please!"
"This … I'm not leaving!" Guan Xiangfeng's stubborn temper flared up as well. It was a hot day, and he had climbed up here with the hottest sun of the day. He was on the brink of collapsing, but Fangzheng wanted him to leave with just one sentence? Dream on!
"You aren't leaving? Think it through. I'm the one asking you to leave. If you continue acting like a scoundrel, I'll get my Senior Brother to ask you to leave, "Red Boy hugged his arms and grunted.
"I'm not leaving no matter who comes!" Guan Xiangfeng glared angrily at Fangzheng's back as he said firmly.
"Your courage is commendable. Hold on here. I'll be leaving first." Dog Song immediately understood something when he heard Red Boy's tone. He immediately ran off.
Guan Xiangfeng was taken aback as he frowned, unsure of the situation. Who could be so terrifying? Could it be that he dared to hit someone?
"Senior Brother, it's time for you to appear," shouted Red Boy.
The next moment, a wolf the size of a calf crawled out of its kennel. It bared its fangs and had a ferocious expression. Its murderous aura made Guan Xiangfeng feel like he had fallen into an ice cavern. He had goosebumps all over as his legs went limp.
"Awoo!" Lone Wolf's howl tore through the sky.
Guan Xiangfeng exclaimed as he turned to run. All the toughness he had from before was gone!
When Red Boy saw this, he curled his lips and said, "You're so tall and strong, but you're such a coward. What's the use of all that meat?"
Guan Xiangfeng ran out of One Finger Monastery and when he turned his head, he realized that the terrifying wolf had not followed him. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief. A distance away, Dog Song was sitting under the shade of a tree, enjoying the cool. When he saw Guan Xiangfeng run out, he grinned with a look of mockery.
Guan Xiangfeng looked at Dog Song before looking at the monastery behind him. Was he leaving just like that? Was he going to leave the mountain with his tail between his legs? He was indignant! If it was not for his master, Jiang Zhou, he was unwilling to leave just like that for the bamboo. He had never seen such a perfect piece of bamboo in his life! He believed that once he obtained the bamboo, he would be able to easily obtain first place in the graduation exam by modifying it a little. When that happened, Jiang Zhou would have no choice but to take him in as a disciple. It was a rule!
On the contrary, if he did not get first place, it would be difficult for him to become Jiang Zhou's disciple.
With this in mind, Guan Xiangfeng gritted his teeth and walked to the side of the monastery. There was quite a lot of Frost Bamboo on Fangzheng's mountain. There was a huge patch in the distance and outside the monastery. When he first arrived, Guan Xiangfeng had only been staring at the monastery and had not noticed it. Now that he was taking a careful look, he found himself liking it more and more. He turned more excited.
"It shouldn't be a problem if I secretly chop one myself, right?" Guan Xiangfeng thought, but the moment he had this thought, he felt a pair of eyes staring intently at him from behind. Without even turning his head, he knew that the owner of the eyes was definitely that darn Dog Song!
With Dog Song watching him, he definitely could not steal it. However, he was indignant about it!
After some thought, he had no choice but to wander outside the monastery. Unknowingly, he had circled to the back of the monastery. When he heard the crisp sounds of bamboo being chopped, his heart felt like it was bleeding! Such good bamboo had actually been chopped!
At the same time, he heard the brat's voice. "Master, aren't you a little too ruthless? You chopped it into two. Sit on the bed for us. I want it prettier. Don't try to fool us. "
Fangzheng's voice sounded. "Fool? Don't worry. My skills are excellent. "
"Excellent?" Guan Xiangfeng scoffed inwardly. He had seen many people carving from a young age, and there were many carpenters. But to use a machete to make furniture? Was this a joke? It was just chopping with a machete. How was he to handle the delicate parts?
At that moment, the brat mocked him. "Master, if I remember correctly, all you did was use a hammer to hammer a few nails in when our table broke. You even chopped it …"
Fangzheng blushed when he heard that. He coughed dryly and said, "That was then and this is now. It's different. Make way. The Frost Bamboo is too thick. The roots need some strength."
"Master, why do I feel like you are chopping wood?"
"What's wrong with chopping wood? As long as I can chop it. "
