Chapter 247: A Deal Sealed

Chen Er paced back and forth on the pier, the sun climbing higher in the sky. It was already late morning, and he should have returned by now, but there was still no sign of the others.

The sun was a daily occurrence, nothing to marvel at. Chen Er couldn't understand why people from the capital found it so fascinating, but until the contract was signed, he dared not relax. Even if they wanted to stay and watch the sunrise for a whole day, he had to be there waiting.

“They’re back! They’re back, Manager Chen. Look!”

Chen Er quickly turned towards the sea. Yes, it was their fishing fleet. He immediately ordered the stevedores to prepare to receive them.

It didn’t take long for the boat to dock. Hua Zhi looked at Chen Er without surprise. “I apologize for keeping you waiting, Manager Chen.”

“Not at all, not at all. Please be careful on the steps.”

When she wasn’t being harassed, Hua Zhi was always willing to maintain harmony. As she got off the boat, she said, “Let’s go straight to the fishing company. There’s no need to go back to the inn.”

“Yes, please follow me.” Chen Er smiled broadly and led the group onto a carriage. Before they came, he had asked his wife to clean the carriage thoroughly and even put a fragrant pillow inside.

Shao Yao sniffed it and put it down. The pillow was filled with something very refreshing.

No matter how nice a carriage was, it was still bumpy. Fortunately, the road to Shuiguang Village was well-maintained, thanks to the several fishing companies in the area, and the journey wasn't too far.

“Huahua, are you really going to take those two siblings with you? I don’t like that sister, but the younger brother seems talented. Why don’t you just give him to me? Master said I can take on a junior disciple now.”

Hua Zhi, who had already made up her mind, asked, “Does he have a talent for medicine?”

“He can’t even get out of bed, how would I know if he has any talent?” Shao Yao pouted. “We’re both miserable, we can be companions.”

And then have you both go out and destroy the world?

Hua Zhi felt a mix of sadness and amusement. Caochao had been well-educated by the former princess when she was young, and even though she had lost her memory, the foundation was still there. Plus, there was Yanxi watching over her. As for that boy, he could talk, but if she really let him learn all of Caochao’s skills, no one could guarantee he wouldn’t go astray.

It was hard to be a good person, but it was so easy to be bad.

Pushing her forehead, Hua Zhi didn’t agree.

Shao Yao rubbed against her ingratiatingly, “He’s very resilient, and he’ll definitely put in a lot of effort to learn. As long as he’s serious, he can learn well.”

“He’s not suitable. I’ll keep an eye out for a suitable one for you in the future.”

“Okay,” Shao Yao didn’t insist. Since Hua Hua said she would keep one for her, she would definitely do so. She didn’t necessarily need a disciple, but having one would be nice. She could let her disciple do the things she didn’t want to do. That’s what her master did. She really didn’t like cutting herbs, and she would only cut her own with reluctance. But as soon as her master came back, she had to cut all his herbs!

Thinking about this painful task, Shao Yao was determined to take on a disciple. Apprentices were there to do the work that the master didn’t want to do, that’s what her master taught her.
