I ate white rice listlessly. Moran called, “Han?” I immediately turned, “What?” Moran said, “I’m going to check if Ning Xiang Pavilion has delivered lunch to the guests who ordered in Lian Xing Pavilion.”
“Eat your meal and stop daydreaming,” I nodded weakly, “Oh.”
After Moran left, I lost all appetite. Without Shang, nothing tasted good. I went to He Huan Pavilion to check on business and saw Yang Ziru practicing the Dog-Beating Stick Technique.
“Huh, is she from the Beggar Clan?” I realized such a clan actually existed. How bizarre. Why would a noble lady leave her comfortable life to pretend to be a beggar? Ancient people’s minds were strange.
Suddenly, a dog-beating stick flew towards me. I dodged, narrowly avoiding what could have been a fatal blow. Just as I was about to curse, I heard applause, “Boss Ling indeed has great skills!” Yang Ziru approached, whispering, “With such impressive skills, have you ever considered joining the Beggar Clan?”
“I have no interest in being a beggar. Under the party’s leadership, I live a happy and prosperous life, with plenty of money, good food, clothes, and sleep. I’d rather be a content citizen than pretend to be poor in the Beggar Clan.”
Yang Ziru looked at me with a warning gaze: “Hey. Don’t discriminate!” I was speechless; this girl was just too weird. “It’s human nature, Miss Yang, don’t take offense.” Yang Ziru sighed, “Isn’t the Beggar’s Sect good? Why doesn’t everyone want to join?”
I patted Yang Ziru’s shoulder and said, “Yang Ziru, I understand your passion for the gang, but not everyone shares your views. They don’t see being a beggar as honorable, while your perspective is different.”
Yang Ziru shrugged, “Perhaps you’re right.” She leaned in closer and added, “And don’t always call me Yang Ziru; it might expose my identity. Call me the future first leader of the Beggar’s Sect!” I wiped sweat from my brow and nodded, “Uh, okay.”
Happily, she picked up her dog-beating stick and bounced back to the training ground to continue practicing. I was dizzy—this girl was strange, abandoning her noble status to become a beggar.
But if I said there was a noble lady in the Beggar’s Sect, would anyone believe me? Hehe O(∩_∩)O~
