Why do I have so many masters?-Chapter 613 - 233: The Bow is like Thunder and the String Shocks (Two in One) (5700)_3

Lin Qiaofu exclaimed softly:

"This, how can this be..."

Mei Lianhua laughed, "It's merely that we have one less white rabbit as a starter prize than them. With the archery skills my Third Uncle passed on to me, how could I lose to them?"

"If you don't want it, I'll let this rabbit go, and soon someone else will pin it to the ground. Do you want it or not?"

Mei Lianhua shook her palm, pretending to drop the white rabbit on the ground. Seeing this, Lin Qiaofu reluctantly took the rabbit and held it in her arms.

She was fair-skinned by nature, and in her white dress holding the rabbit, she seemed even more delicate. Even Mei Lianhua, though a woman herself, couldn't help but whisper her admiration, let alone the other noble clan sons? They were already staring with fixed gaze.

Just as they thought to strike up a conversation, they saw Lin Qiaofu hesitate for a moment and drive her horse two steps to the right, arriving by Wang Anfeng's side. She raised her head, her eyes looking at Wang Anfeng, and asked:

"Big Brother Wang, you can cook grilled fish...can you also make grilled rabbit?"

Wang Anfeng appeared slightly dazed, shifting his gaze to the white rabbit in the girl's arms, and said:

"Grilled... rabbit?"

Lin Qiaofu murmured softly: "I see that they all shot the rabbits till they can't even be used, right? This one is good; Sister Mei from the Mei Family gave it to me, it's not dirty..."

"Is it usable?"

Her last sentence was full of hope.

Wang Anfeng almost burst out laughing, but suppressed his laughter and said, "Of course, of course it can be used. It's just that I've made grilled fish and chicken many times, but I've never made roasted rabbit before. If you'd like to eat it, I'm afraid I'll need some time to do a bit of research."

"Right..."

"Since Sister Mei gave the rabbit to you, no matter what, shouldn't you say something to her?"

On the other hand, Mei Lianhua was also stupefied. She had thought that Lin Qiaofu couldn't bear to see the killing, never expecting the rabbit's fate would be from the wolf's den into the tiger's lair in just a moment. For a time, she was at a loss for words.

Lin Qiaofu turned back to look at her, thinking that Mei Lianhua was displeased, and stammered:

"Sister Mei... I..."

"I..."

She closed her eyes as she spoke, as if she had made a great sacrifice, clenched her teeth, and said:

"After Big Brother Wang has roasted it, I'll share some with you..."

Mei Lianhua was stunned, then burst into laughter, pinching Lin Qiaofu's cheek and said cheerfully, "Of course you can. If Qiaofu wants to eat, even roasting all of today's game is not an issue. It's just a bit of game; I am not so petty. I just never expected that Brother Wang from the Wang Family would possess such excellent culinary skills, truly unexpected."

Wang Anfeng laughed:

"I've grown accustomed to living alone; one has to be versed in all sorts of things..."

Two noble clan disciples were ready to approach Lin Qiaofu on the pretext of her kind heart but were shocked by this scene of 'burning pianos and boiling cranes'. At that moment, they simply lost the opportunity to initiate conversation, and the frustration naturally couldn't be vented on a beautiful woman.

So they looked toward Wang Anfeng with a hint of mockery:

"A gentleman stays far from the kitchen. You look like you come from decent origins, so why demean yourself with such servile tasks, staining your status for no reason!"

"Truly, I am ashamed to be in your company!"

Wang Anfeng replied amiably, "Then please keep your distance."

"You..."

The noble clan youth who had spoken was dumbfounded, unable to believe his response. His face turned pale then flushed, he flicked his sleeve, upset and aggrieved:

"Truly ignorant! One cannot wall up the wall made of dung!"

"I wished to offer some advice, but you're beyond help!"

Unable to preserve his dignity, he turned and mounted his horse to leave, while other noble clan disciples voiced their disapproval, mostly about how someone from decent origins could engage in lowly tasks, indeed ashamed to be associated. The previously upset young man seemed to find encouragement and his expression became one of defiance, turning to Wang Anfeng and speaking:

"Jade must be carved to become a vessel; I advise you to read more books. That would be wise."

"Otherwise, it's a waste of fine clothes."

Then he turned and laughed heartily with the other noble clan disciples.

Wang Anfeng arched his eyebrows, watching his retreating figure, and slowly said:

"A true gentleman, while regarding birds and beasts, sees them alive and cannot bear to see them die; hears their cries, and cannot bear to eat their flesh. Therefore, a gentleman stays far from the kitchen."

"The sages talked about practicing benevolence and did not preach about demeaning professions."

The loud laughter from the other side abruptly ceased, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Having just suggested that someone should read more books, he was met with such a retort. He felt a tingling on his cheeks, as if they were stinging. The young man, who had been loud and spirited, turned back to look at Wang Anfeng with clenched teeth, saying:

"You... you actually..."

Wang Anfeng sighed and said earnestly, "I was going to advise you... no, never mind."

"You don't need to read books, just stay as you are."

Yuchi Jie, ever the one to fan the flames, said, "That's not right, Brother Wang. As the saying goes, 'Jade must be carved to form a tool.' Shouldn't you be encouraging this young master to read more at this point?"

Wang Anfeng said indifferently, "You also said, 'Jade must be carved.'"

Yuchi Jie slapped his forehead in an exaggerated gesture, as if he had just realized something:

"Brother Wang is brilliant, it was my oversight. If what we have is just a lump of stubborn stone, what's to be done if the carving turns it into rubble? Hahaha, at that point, nobody would even want it for paving roads. Advising him to read books might indeed be a disservice."

"Hahaha, I didn't think of that at the moment, please don't mind me, don't mind me."

As he spoke, he shook his head and bowed his fists towards the young man.

The young man's eyes widened, trembling with anger. The disciples of the Noble Clan around him were similarly outraged; it didn't matter who started the verbal altercation or whose fault it was—as long as one of their own had been slighted, they were more riled up than anyone. Such was the nature of the Noble Clan's disciples.

The disciples of the Mei Family nearby wanted to intervene and advise, but were at a loss where to begin. Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, laughter suddenly sounded from the other side.

Gao Zhenhai, who had earlier taken the initiative to greet them, rode forward. Beside him on a tall, black steed, sat a young man dressed in black Vigorous Attire. The sleeves of his arms were stretched tight, clearly indicating considerable inner strength.

Gao Zhenhai urged his horse to the center, laughing, "We came out today for the spring hunt, intending to enjoy the scenery and exercise our limbs—it's a great day for fun. What's the matter with everyone?"

The previously angry young disciple from the Noble Clan, upon seeing the newcomers, suppressed his anger. Shaking his head, he coldly uttered a 'nothing's wrong,' then rode away. Gao Zhenhai smiled and turned his gaze back to Wang Anfeng and Yuchi Jie, saying helplessly:

"Brother Da Ye, Brother Ye, how did you two get into a conflict with that man?"

"His family holds no ordinary official positions within Wanling City, and they are quite wealthy too. If he holds a grudge, it could cause a lot of trouble."

Yuchi Jie feigned surprise, saying, "What?"

"How could this be good?!"

Gao Zhenhai reassured him, "Brother Ye, take it easy. With Brother Golden Bell here, it's just a trivial quarrel. Even if he's a scoundrel, he wouldn't bother you afterwards over such a minor matter."

Yuchi seemed to relax, exhaling deeply, and said:

"If that's the case... then that's for the best, the very best."

"Ah, right, I also have to thank Brother Golden Bell..."

He appeared quite nervous, and even his gestures of courtesy were somewhat awkward.

Gao Zhenhai waved his hand, laughing, "Brother Ye, you shouldn't bother too much with formalities."

"Brother Golden Bell comes from an extraordinary background, is broad-minded, and his Martial Arts are among the finest in our generation in Wanling. He's top-notch among our peers, a man of bold character, who also doesn't care for those formalities."

"Oh, I see, I see..."

"His presence is truly extraordinary and impressive."

Yuchi Jie praised him repeatedly.

Wang Anfeng saw his antics, and the corners of his mouth twitched, almost unable to hold back his laughter. Relying on the muscular control of Golden Bell Shield and the disguise techniques of the Divine Thieves Sect, he tensed his face muscles and managed to maintain an icy expression, preventing his true emotions from showing through.

Gao Zhenhai did not notice anything abnormal about Wang Anfeng, and seemed quite satisfied with Yuchi Jie's performance, nodding and then continuing warmly:

"We have come to inform you both of a matter."

"In past spring hunts, we always chased wild game, and although we got to enjoy the landscape, it has become somewhat tedious year after year. Therefore, this year we have come up with a new method, sure to be much more interesting than the hunts of previous years."

"What do you think about it?"
