Chapter 2372: Chapter 2369: Love Tribulation
Su Yun had set up a table of food in a tavern near the Chu family early in the morning, waiting.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before he saw a figure flash downstairs, followed by an old man entering the room, his eyes lighting up with satisfaction at the sight of the delicious food on the table, and he immediately started eating.
Seeing that he wasn’t even using chopsticks, Su Yun was a bit taken aback and hurriedly handed him a pair of chopsticks.
“Master, which remote place have you been to this time? How long has it been since you last had meat?” Su Yun exposed Master Yuanhe’s mysterious facade with a single sentence.
Master Yuanhe snorted and complained, “Don’t mention it. Three years, three years without properly tasting meat.”
“At least you have a bit of filial piety, knowing to buy some good food for your master. Don’t even mention your other senior and junior disciples, they haven’t even left a shadow.”
“Master, enjoy your meal, but as for Lord Chu…” Su Yun asked directly.
Master Yuanhe was eating the dishes in large mouthfuls, paused for a moment when he heard this, and said nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, that person has a big destiny, he won’t die, it’s just a test.”
“What do you mean?” Su Yun hadn’t learned very advanced Buddhist teachings but had a good understanding of his master’s skills, and he sensed there was a cause and effect involved.
“It’s none of your concern, that is a love trial, a matter of fate.”
“A love trial between Lord Chu and Madam Chu?” Su Yun’s expression was somewhat strange. Although he knew Madam Chu had deep affection for Lord Chu, he didn’t think it was so serious as to be a love trial. To be precise, he doubted all aspects of love.
How could there be true love, especially in the official circle? It was probably because Madam Chu was quite capable that she could always stay by Lord Chu’s side, right?
As for Lord Chu keeping himself decent, that was something he admired about him.
After all, as a man, he knew all too well that when he wanted to indulge, a bit of silver could solve the problem and he could enjoy comfort without affecting important matters.
Besides, he considered himself to be quite demanding, yet he still found himself having affection for several people, never thinking about loyalty to just one.
Master Yuanhe looked at his expression, and said mysteriously, “Do you know what a calamity is? If you get through it, it’s a complete experience, if not, it’s the end.”
Su Yun was unexpectedly speechless, “Master, you mean Lord Chu didn’t faint from injury?”
“That’s just an excuse. I’m sure the imperial physicians in the palace have also checked; it’s not a serious injury.”
“That’s right, we initially suspected someone might have poisoned Lord Chu. Master, since you’ve looked into it, I’m at ease now.” Su Yun was indeed playing this card.
After all, Chu Heng waking up also significantly affects the Prince’s plans.
Master Yuanhe snorted, “This time you guys are lucky, but everything has two sides, nothing can be forced. It’s fine that you used me this time, but you might not have such an opportunity again, and don’t forget, using me, your master, always comes with repercussions.”
Su Yun’s expression changed repeatedly, recalling the times he and his master had plotted against each other. Every step Master Yuanhe took had deep meaning, many of which he couldn’t foresee, and he could misstep into a trap at any moment, his previously joyful mood disappeared instantly.
He furrowed his brows, deep in thought about when exactly he had been tricked again.
Master Yuanhe smiled and ate even faster, sweeping all the dishes off the table in merely fifteen minutes.
After finishing, he put down his chopsticks contentedly and wiped his mouth.
“Thank you, disciple, for footing the bill this time. Consider this your compensation for trying to scheme against me. Next time we meet, remember, don’t lose your original intent.”
