The next day, Yang Kai continued to patrol his own fruit garden and look after the fruit trees. Just as he was catching insects for the fruit trees, he suddenly heard a familiar voice call out, “Yang Kai?”
Yang Kai looked up and saw a beautiful figure standing not far away in the fiery red background, staring at him curiously, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
“Xiao Die?” Yang Kai smiled, “Why are you here?”
Die You walked over and looked around, “I wanted to ask you, why are you here? Isn’t this Xiang Yong’s fruit garden?”
“It’s mine now,” Yang Kai smiled before revealing a look of realization, “You’re also here?”
Die You pointed to the side.
Yang Kai nodded, “No wonder it’s a Feng Shui Treasure Land, I see!”
“What Feng Shui Treasure Land?” Die You was puzzled.
“It’s nothing,” Yang Kai shook his head and didn’t try to explain. Yesterday, when he heard Xiang Yong say something about a Feng Shui Treasure Land, he had felt a bit strange and didn’t know what was so good about it. Today, after seeing Die You, he finally realized that this place was no different from any other place. But when Xiang Yong came here, there was no better place than this. No wonder he had such a big reaction when Zhou Zheng wanted to change his territory yesterday.
Moreover, when Zhou Zheng had followed him here, he hadn’t seen him at all, so it was likely that he had been entangled with Die You and had spent most of his time on her, so how could he have taken care of such a large garden?
The dust in the small house could also be explained, he probably didn’t have the time to return to the small house.
From the looks of it now, Zhou Zheng’s choice of borrowing knife to hurt him was not random, but rather targeted. He definitely knew Xiang Yong’s intentions towards Die You and had even deliberately asked him to replace him. It would be strange if Xiang Yong didn’t hate him now.
“What did Xiang Yong do? Why did you take over this piece of land?” Die You asked curiously.
Yang Kai smiled bitterly, “It’s a long story.”
“Then take your time,” Die You smiled lightly.
Since there was nothing else to do and everyone was familiar with each other, Yang Kai simply explained everything that had happened. When he heard that Yang Kai had actually found a Fourth Grade Scarlet Clouds Golden Flame, Die You covered her red lips in shock. Yang Kai, who had made such a great contribution, had not only received a generous reward from Du Rufeng but had also been transferred to this fruit garden.
However, because of this, he had offended Zhou Zheng, and now even Xiang Yong. It's unknown if this is a blessing or a disaster.
“Your life is quite interesting,” Die You smiled as her eyes curved into crescent moons.
Yang Kai glanced at her, “Why do I feel like you’re taking pleasure in my misfortune?”
“No, no,” Die You quickly waved her hand, “I’ve never seen a servant cause so much trouble in just a few months, this isn’t even the Great General’s fault.” Saying so, Die You took out a Jade Fire Silkworm and fed it to the Great General, who lazily ate it without any reward.
“Do you think I want to?!” Yang Kai was extremely angry, sometimes even if he didn’t want to, but trouble would fall from the sky.
“It doesn’t matter. According to what you said, you’ve made great contributions before, so I’m afraid Senior Du will view you in a different light and intends to promote you, so even if Zhou Zheng doesn’t like you, he won’t be able to do anything to you. Of course, the premise is that you don’t make any big mistakes.”
“Be that as it may, Zhou Zheng is not an easy person to deal with. Xiang Yong’s situation is quite obvious.”
Die You nodded slightly, “Borrowing someone else’s knife to kill… Xiang Yong, this guy…” She looked like she was having a headache because of Xiang Yong, “Don’t worry, if Xiang Yong comes looking for trouble, I will warn him.”
“Please don’t, if he really comes looking for trouble and you step in, the situation will only become worse,” Yang Kai quickly stopped him. The last time he had been seen going to the market with Die You, he had been blocked by him. If Die You did anything else, Xiang Yong would only misunderstand.
“You’re right,” Die You frowned, “Then what should we do?”
“Nothing, that’s all,” Yang Kai shrugged, “Right, how many Jade Fire Silkworms have you collected these past few days? Give them to me while you can.”
“Good,” Die You handed over the Jade Fire Silkworm she had collected over the past few days to Yang Kai, who patted the Great General Si Chen on his head, “Time to eat!”
Although he knew that Xiang Yong would not let this matter rest and would definitely come looking for trouble, Yang Kai had not expected him to come so quickly.
Not long after Die You left, the black bear descended from the sky and landed in front of Yang Kai.
Yang Kai blinked at him, “Brother Xiang is here?”
Xiang Yong’s eyes spat fire, “Just you wait, I’ll settle this with you later!”
Leaving behind these words, he hurriedly walked towards Die You’s fruit garden. After a while, Yang Kai heard Xiang Yong’s screams from the depths of the fruit garden.
A moment later, Xiang Yong returned with a bruised face. Although he was in a sorry state, his expression was filled with satisfaction as he walked over to Yang Kai and stared down at him, “Boy, do you have any wine?”
Yang Kai turned his head to avoid looking at him, afraid he would laugh out loud, so he casually took out a jar of wine and handed it over.
Xiang Yong opened the wine seal and gulped down half a jug before letting out a satisfied burp and nodding, “This little brat’s attitude is quite good!”
Yang Kai quickly asked, “Does Brother Xiang not need to take care of the fruit garden? How come you have time to come here?”
Xiang Yong spat out a mouthful of saliva and said, “Your bumpy place is also called a fruit garden? This old master can see it with a single glance. That place is too small and I’m too lazy to serve it, so I just threw it all to an old man nearby.”
Yang Kai turned to look at him, “Is that old man surnamed Fang?”
“Yes, that’s him!” Xiang Yong nodded, “He even asked about you and what happened to you. It seems he has a good relationship with you.”
Only then did Yang Kai remember that he had forgotten to tell Old Fang that he was safe. Yesterday, he had been taken away by Zhou Zheng and had been forced to this place, so he had no time to return. Old Fang was probably worried about him.
“Then what did you say?”
Xiang Yong sneered, “Why should I tell him?”
Yang Kai was speechless as he took out his communication device and sent a message to Old Fang, immediately receiving a reply asking him what had happened. From this, it could be seen that Old Fang had been waiting for him to contact him these past two days.
Since he couldn’t explain it in detail, Yang Kai could only tell him that he didn’t need to worry and that everything was fine. He would tell him when he went back to rest.
After exchanging a few words with Old Fang, Yang Kai put away his things and turned to Xiang Yong, “This is quite ruthless.”
Xiang Yong’s strength was extraordinary, so even if he was beaten to such a state, Die You must have not held back.
“I’m used to it, it’s no big deal,” Xiang Yong chuckled.
Yang Kai couldn’t help admiring him, “Brother Xiang is truly a saint of Love.”
“What do you know?” Xiang Yong sneered, his mouth filled with the smell of alcohol, “If it weren’t for Xiao Die, this old master would have died many years ago. This old master’s life is hers, so what does it matter how many times she beat me?”
Yang Kai asked curiously, “Lady Die You also saved Brother Xiang’s life?”
Xiang Yong snorted, “I have nothing to say to you, why ask so many questions?”
“It’s just a casual chat, there’s nothing much to do anyway.”
Xiang Yong frowned and pondered for a moment, seemingly thinking that Yang Kai’s words made sense, and his attitude softened slightly, “Then tell me, why does Xiao Die not like me? What have I done wrong?”
If you ask me about this, how would I know? You should ask Die You. Besides, love is a matter between two people, what’s the use of being hot alone?
“Is it too tight?” Yang Kai asked.
“What’s too tight?” Xiang Yong stared.
“You’re pushing too hard!” Yang Kai explained, “Think about it from another perspective, if there was a woman pestering you all day without giving you any time to breathe, how would you feel?”
“Is it beautiful?”
“Is there a difference?” This time it was Yang Kai’s turn to stare.
“Of course there’s a difference,” Xiang Yong snorted, “If she’s beautiful, I’ll immediately make her my woman. If she’s ugly, I’ll give her a few punches… En? Boy, are you saying I’m ugly? How am I ugly?”
Yang Kai said seriously, “Brother Xiang is an extraordinary man, how could he be associated with the word ‘ugly’? It’s probably because Lady Die You doesn’t know how to appreciate your beauty!” For some reason, Yang Kai’s conscience suddenly ached!
Xiang Yong narrowed his eyes and asked, “You mean Xiao Die’s vision is very poor?”
Unable to continue, Yang Kai waved his hand and said, “Brother Xiang, please go ahead, I still have things to do!”
A palm landed directly on Yang Kai’s shoulder, causing him to bend down slightly. Xiang Yong said, “Don’t go yet, don’t go yet, make yourself clear.”
“About what?” Yang Kai turned to look at him.
“Tell me, how can I make Xiao Die willingly follow me? As long as you can help me this time, this Xiang will let bygones be bygones!”
Frick, how can I help you? You have to rely on yourself. Yang Kai was really speechless.
However, from the looks of it, if she didn’t say anything now, it would be difficult to resolve the situation. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “Why don’t you try playing hard to get!”
Xiang Yong’s eyes lit up as he looked around suspiciously, “What do you mean by playing hard to get?”
Yang Kai also lowered his voice, “I noticed that Brother Xiang had been pestering Miss Die You, so she must have adapted to the situation where you went to look for her every day. Under such circumstances, if you suddenly stopped looking for her, wouldn’t she be surprised? Would she think about what you were busy with? Did you suffer some kind of injury? As long as she has these thoughts, she will begin to care about you. Men and women are the same, what they can’t have is the best. If you take the initiative to approach her, she won’t appreciate it.”
Hearing this, Xiang Yong’s heart trembled and his face flushed red as he imagined the beautiful scene in the future. He licked his lips and asked, “Will this method work?”
“If you don’t try, how will you know? In any case, it’s not like you’ll lose anything. If you can’t, think of another way.”
“Fine!” Xiang Yong clenched his fist and smashed it against his palm, “We’ll do as you say. When do we start?”
“There’s no time like the present.”
“Good!” Xiang Yong strode forward, “Then I’ll go back first. If Die You asks about me later, remember to let me know.”
