Zuo Xiaoduo finally vented the excitement in his heart, but he found that his parents were not as happy as he thought they would be.
His attitude should be described as … thoughtful, troubled, and even a little … fearful.
Zuo Xiaoduo knew something was wrong. He couldn't help but put away his smile and asked carefully, "Dad, Mom, are you … not happy?"
"Hahahaha …"
Zuo Zhanglu let out a long laugh, beaming from ear to ear, "Happy, too happy! Dad was stunned by you just now! Hahaha, my son can finally cultivate! From now on, who dares to call my son a loser? Hahaha … "
Mr. Zuo, who had a smug look on his face, secretly winked at Wu Yuting.
Wu Yuting also put on a smile and quickly wiped her eyes, saying, "Yes, I'm so happy. Doggy's cultivation is a great thing for our family. Doggy's dad, oh, our Xiao Duo will be a cultivator from now on … Dad, go buy some good wine and food, let's celebrate tonight."
Zuo Zhanglu laughed heartily and said, "That's right, that's right. We must celebrate this!"
He stood up and was about to open the door.
Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the disappointment when Zuo Xiaonian suddenly changed the way she called him, even though she was very dissatisfied with the name "cat" in her mind …
So that was it … He felt that his parents were being polite to him all of a sudden …
He couldn't help murmuring, "Let's call him Doggy … I'm not used to the sudden change …"
"Hahaha …"
The three of them laughed together.
Zuo Xiaoduo then added with a cheeky smile, "If it's possible … to slowly change it. Give me a period of time to adapt to it, that's the best."
"That's because you're dreaming!"
Wu Yuting and Zuo Xiaonian said at the same time.
Zuo Xiaonian made threatening gestures, saying, "You're Doggy, forever Doggy, always Doggy Egg."
Zuo Xiaoduo assumed the appearance of a ferocious dog and growled.
Zuo Changlu laughed and opened the door to buy some food and wine.
Wu Yuting pushed Zuo Xiaoduo out of her embrace and said gently, "Go and play with your sister. I'll see what else is in the fridge and cook a few dishes. It's not good to just eat the food bought outside. How about I fry a salted fish for you later? "
"Sure, sure."
Zuo Xiaoduo was excited.
Then, Zuo Xiaonian pulled him over. "Doggy, come here. Let me ask you, how did you break through? You really surprised me …"
As she was pulled away by Zuo Xiaonian, her voice became softer and softer. Finally, with the sound of the door closing, she could no longer hear her voice.
Zuo Xiaonian's voice was filled with excitement. She could barely contain her excitement. Just by listening to her, one could feel that this girl was completely overjoyed.
Wu Yuting stopped moving the kitchen knife in her hand and fell into a daze.
After a long while, her nostrils were sore and her eyes were red.
How could he be able to cultivate …
The road ahead … would be so difficult …
The sky slowly darkened.
She didn't know when Zuo Zhanglu had returned. He carried a few vegetables into the kitchen and quietly stood behind his wife.
He put his hand on his wife's weak shoulder and slowly held her in his arms. He said softly, "Don't worry. Don't forget that Little Nianzhi is watching over you. Don't worry too much."
He said softly, "Actually … Little Nianzhi is more worried than we are."
Wu Yuting nodded silently. She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't.
Yes, it was good to have her sister watching over her. But … it was better to see her safe and sound with her own eyes!
"I regret it," Wu Yuting said softly.
"… It's okay," Zuo Changlu said after a moment of silence.
Then he said in a relaxed tone, "Hurry up and cook. They're going to want to eat later."
"Okay."
The sound of kitchen knife chopping could be heard.
Zuo Changlu walked out calmly and set the table. It was no different from usual, but also very different.
…
A table of sumptuous dishes was served. The family of four sat in a circle. They were all happy and harmonious.
"Today is a big day."
Zuo Changlu smiled. "You two can drink some too."
Zuo Xiaonian's beautiful eyes and face glowed. She nodded repeatedly.
Zuo Xiaoduo rubbed his hands and smiled. "Dad, I'm already a powerhouse. I'm afraid these two jars of wine aren't enough."
Wu Yuting snorted. "Not enough? Last year during the New Year, who was the one who drank only two glasses and occupied the toilet for half the night? Who was it? My memory is really bad. "
Zuo Xiaoduo blushed. "Mom! I'm a Samurai now! A Samurai! "
"Samurai? That's amazing, so high and mighty! "
Wu Yuting pursed her lips. "Why do I remember that Nian Cat sitting next to you is already a Master? What level of peerless powerhouse is a Samurai? "
Zuo Xiaoduo pouted and pretended to be angry.
"Let's eat!"
Zuo Changlu ordered as if to smooth things over.
Zuo Xiaoduo, who was still pretending just now, reached out and grabbed a chicken thigh. He stuffed it into his mouth at lightning speed. His cheeks suddenly puffed up and he chewed in big mouthfuls. "Delicious, delicious!"
The family couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh right, doggie." Wu Yuting remembered something and said, "Didn't you say there was bad news? What is it? "
Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly remembered something sad and said, "Sigh, don't mention it. It's just that the school I went to is really too shady … I have to pay for the Samurai class, a lot of money, tuition fees …"
He looked melancholy. "It's really shady …"
Zuo Changlu, Wu Yuting, and Zuo Xiaonian were speechless.
Wasn't it normal to pay tuition fees? How was it shady? It was really shady?!
"Just tell me how much it is."
Zuo Changlu took a sip of wine. "We have money. Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem in our family. Just say it. "
"One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand! And there's an additional fifty pieces of low-grade Astral Souls Jade! Tell me, do you think it's shady? "
Zuo Xiaoduo said bitterly, "So much money, and it's only for one semester!"
"Do you think it's shady?!"
Zuo Xiaoduo sighed.
"Shady? It's quite normal. " Zuo Changlu said nonchalantly. His understatement made Zuo Xiaoduo's jaw drop. It even felt unreal.
He thought that his father would be shocked for a while, feel the pinch, and feel embarrassed for a while, but in the end …
"One hundred thousand for tuition fees isn't too much. A Samurai training for a few months should be about this amount."
Zuo Changlu casually took out a card and said lightly, "There's eighty thousand in here."
Then he reached into his pocket. "I'll give you another twenty thousand in cash."
"Dad!"
Zuo Xiaoduo and Zuo Xiaonian spoke at the same time.
Zuo Changlu and Wu Yuting turned to look at them.
"You first."
"You first."
The siblings spoke at the same time.
Finally, Zuo Xiaonian bit her lip and said bravely, "I have some money here … I'll pay for the dog's tuition fees."
Zuo Changlu narrowed his eyes. "You have money? How much money do you have? "
It was obvious that Zuo Xiaonian regretted her words. Now that she was being questioned, she suddenly became timid and said timidly, "About … two … two hundred thousand … I think?"
"Hmm?" Wu Yuting immediately put down her chopsticks and turned to look at her. "Where did you get it?"
Zuo Xiaonian stammered, "This … this … my master gave it to me … Ahem, yes, my master gave it to me."
Zuo Changlu and Wu Yuting stared at Zuo Xiaonian without saying a word for a long time.
"My master really gave it to me." Zuo Xiaonian mustered up her courage.
Both of them still stared at her quietly.
After a long time, Zuo Xiaonian was defeated and said dejectedly, "I … I carried out a few … tasks …"
Still, no one spoke.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly heavy.
Zuo Xiaonian spoke faster and faster. "I didn't mean to hide it from you … but I'm a grown-up now, right? I should do something for this family. Mom, you said just now that I'm a Grandmaster. If I don't do anything, I'll just be a decoration … The tasks I took were very simple … very simple and easy!"
She emphasized on the ease of the tasks.
Zuo Changlu and Wu Yuting still did not speak.
Zuo Xiaonian's eyes were red. "It's … it's really simple."
Zuo Changlu turned his head and looked at Zuo Xiaoduo expressionlessly. "What did you want to say just now?"
Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly stammered, "I … uh? I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I can help you … "
"Secret stash?" Wu Yuting narrowed her eyes and sighed. "What can you do with that little money of yours, my silly dog?"
Zuo Xiaoduo was not convinced. "I have more than ten thousand …"
"Huh? What?! "
Zuo Changlu and Wu Yuting grunted at the same time. Even Zuo Xiaonian turned her head and looked at them in surprise.
Wu Yuting frowned and said, "You dug out all the money in the book, The Chronicles of the Continent. There was only five thousand in total. Where did you get ten thousand?"
Zuo Xiaonian nodded desperately and tried to steer the topic to Zuo Xiaoduo. "That's right, mom. I secretly counted it the day before yesterday. It was exactly five thousand, no more, no less. Now that you said ten thousand, there must be something wrong. Mom, you have to investigate carefully. "
“？？？？”
Zuo Xiaoduo was dumbfounded.
His eyes widened in an instant. If it were not for his eye sockets, his eyes might have popped out.
His mouth was wide open, causing the drumstick in his mouth to fall out with a clatter. Fortunately, his cultivation base had improved greatly, and his reaction was fast enough. He lowered his head and sucked the drumstick into his mouth, swallowing it in large mouthfuls. What fell to the ground was only a piece of dry and smooth bone.
After chewing unconsciously, he asked in shock, "My money … My … My secret stash … How do you know so much about it?"
Zuo Xiaonian giggled. She laughed so hard that she trembled.
Wu Yuting smiled faintly and said, "I don't dare to speak about other things, but I'm quite confident about my secret stash." After saying that, she glanced at Zuo Changlu. She seemed to be hinting at something.
Zuo Changlu immediately sat up straight. The muscles at the corner of his eyes trembled slightly. He shouted sternly, "Zuo Xiaoduo, tell me the truth. Where did you get the ten thousand?"
This question greatly damaged his gentle and elegant temperament. It was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. It was obvious that he wanted to divert attention.
"I … I …" Zuo Xiaoduo's eyes kept rolling. He stammered, "Today … I earned … cough cough … I earned …"
"Earned … Not bad, not bad." Zuo Changlu asked, "How did you earn it? What did you do? "
Zuo Xiaoduo looked around to find a way out. He stammered, "This … I earned it … from fortune-telling …"
Zuo Changlu said, "Hahahaha, you earned it from fortune-telling …"
Then he reached out to unbuckle his belt.
