Why do I have so many masters?-Chapter 643 - 250 Is It Enough? (Two in One)_3

"But doesn't that waste a lot?"

Lv Baiping scooped some water from the stream beside her, washed the fruit in her hands clean, and said,

"Yes, it seems a bit wasteful, but the monkeys grow up to support the family, the birds will make next year's fruit better, and the insects will turn into butterflies. So, it seems like there is no waste, right?"

Lv Baiping stood up, tossed a fruit to Wang Anfeng, her eyebrows slightly raised, her expression heroic as she said, "This one's for you, don't be shy."

Wang Anfeng caught the fruit with a laugh and said,

"Then I will accept it without pretense."

He took a bite, finding it sweet indeed. When he looked up again, he saw Lv Baiping standing under the green walls and tiled roof.

Leaning against the wall, she looked like a picture herself, radiating serenity. It was entirely different from her usual demeanor, where she was always protecting Lin Qiaofu or running around swinging her sword and giving Yuchi Jie bumps on his head.

Wang Anfeng noticed she had a small pouch at her waist, glimpsing needles and thread within, and guessed its purpose.

Lv Baiping did not look at him, and with a hint of jest, said,

"So, what kind of reward did Qiaofu offer you, the busy Great Swordsman, to accompany me out? It would be good for me to know what price is put on the Head of Scripture Pavilion of Myriad Swords Peak."

Wang Anfeng felt both amused and at a loss at the same time, not knowing how to respond.

Lv Baiping curled her lip and said,

"No need to pretend, you and Uncle Master Gong Yu are of the same nature, only liking to practice martial arts and swordplay, unmoved by scenery and reluctant to go out."

Wang Anfeng replied,

"For the sake of friends, I am willing to break my routines..."

Lv Baiping uttered a nonchalant 'oh,' and said,

"But Qiaofu knows your character too. So there must be something she promised you for coming out here, surely she wouldn't let you run an errand for nothing."

Wang Anfeng was at a loss for words and replied,

"Miss Lv, you really understand Qiaofu very well. No wonder she worries so much about you."

His voice hesitated, then he went on,

"Qiaofu said you've always been with her, so she also hopes you can see the sceneries you like and do the things you enjoy, to be a bit more like yourself and not to worry too much about her."

Lv Baiping was silent, waiting for Wang Anfeng to finish before she curled her lip and said,

"What does that have to do with being oneself?"

"Sweet words are often spoken, and the world is full of them. How many have been inspired by such grandiose talk, dreaming of cutting through myriad laws with a single sword? But when it's time to draw the sword, they can't even grip the hilt properly."

"Those who learn from the Hermits and seek famous mountains, how many willingly enter the court of their own accord? They recall their wish to retreat in simplicity when they face disappointment. Yet, the moment the Emperor's decree arrives, they run faster than anyone else."

"Their words aren't as good as Yuchi Jie's."

She turned around, looked at the alley ahead with its stream and bridge, and said softly,

"Qiaofu is destined to become the Peak Master of Myriad Swords Peak, the hundred Famous Swords up and down the mountain, the Sword Manuals in the Scripture Pavilion, the clouds above Myriad Swords Peak, the rivers and streams below, they are all hers."

"But she doesn't like martial arts, so there'll need to be someone by her side in the future. It can get boring reading alone."

"In the future, she reads and I watch over her, isn't that enough?"

Wang Anfeng replied,

"But Qiaofu might feel guilty about this..."

Lv Baiping looked at Wang Anfeng and said softly,

"Qiaofu is not me, so she doesn't understand how important she is to me."

Wang Anfeng had no reply.

Lv Baiping waved her hand and laughed, "Let's drop the subject. Let's discuss another matter... What did Qiaofu agree to give you?"

Wang Anfeng didn't hide anything and said,

"It's the Sword Manual related to the past ten Famous Swords."

Lv Baiping blinked and asked further,

"Then... since I'm the reason you got this Sword Manual, do you owe me a favor?"

Wang Anfeng nodded, empathizing with Yuchi Jie's feelings, and said helplessly,

"So... what would you like me to do, Miss Lv?"

Lv Baiping, with her hands clasped behind her back, laughed and said,

"Nothing much, I just want you to teach me how to grill fish..."

Wang Anfeng's face showed surprise and said,

"Grill fish?"

Lv Baiping nodded matter-of-factly, a trace of subtle pride showing as she slightly lifted her smooth chin and said,

"That way, in the future, only I will be feeding Qiaofu."
