617 You Were Picked Up in the First Place
“Alright, alright. I’ll stop talking, okay? I’ll stop talking.” Gong Cheng quickly pretended to surrender. He did not dare to say anything else. Nothing was more important than filling his stomach.
An Jiuyue woke up early the next day. After making arrangements for the two children, she prepared to set off to pick herbs.
But how could Qian Jiyun feel at ease allowing her to gather herbs alone after learning that she planned to do so?
He was worried even with Yan Nuo and Yan Jin accompanying her. He tossed everything he had to do to Gong Cheng to accompany her.
Gong Cheng, who had just awoken in a daze and had many things arranged for him to do for no reason, was speechless.
Does Second Brother think it’s unfair that I ate so much? Is that why he arranged so much work for me?
I really didn’t eat much. I can swear I didn’t eat as much as Second Brother. Everyone knows that, right?
The expansion of the camp already made him busy enough. He did not have the time to deal with the things his second brother had instructed him to do. Besides…
“Second Brother, I can’t go to the swamp alone!”
Qian Jiyun was going to the swamp today. He had an appointment with a lord there to discuss some matters. Why was Gong Cheng going?
Besides, what would he say if he went?
That his second brother wanted to accompany a woman, so he sent him instead? That would offend the other party!
And how was he supposed to go to the swamp alone? There were demonic beasts along the way. Would they not take him away?
“I’ve never seen someone who values their lover over their friends as much as him. Besides, we’re not friends. Second Brother, I’m your sixth brother. Even if we’re not biologically related, I’m still your younger brother, right?
“How can you treat me like that? Did you pick me up somewhere?”
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a young voice.
“You were picked up in the first place.”
Gong Cheng glanced sideways and saw Qian Yizheng and Qian Yirong. Warrior-Servant One and Warrior-Servant Two accompanied them.
He had witnessed Warrior-Servant One and Warrior-Servant Two’s martial arts. Even his second brother was not as powerful as them. Their Original Soul energy seemed limitless when they killed demonic beasts.
However, he was unaware that An Jiuyue had spent points equal to the amount of Original Soul energy used by the warrior-servants. Of course, it was impressive.
He was furious. He was inferior to the two children! He had no one to protect him, whereas they had someone to do so. Yan Qin had gone to the swamp to provide reinforcement early in the morning.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He looked at the two children with a green glint in his eyes.
“Uncle Gong, what do you want?”
Qian Yizheng instinctively became vigilant and stepped back with his younger brother.
They should avoid his wolf-like eyes. Gong Cheng was like a child who had yet to grow up. He was even worse than them.
With a wicked smile, Gong Cheng rubbed his hands together and asked, “Zheng’er, Rong’er, do you want to go out and play?”
Children loved to play, right? As long as he suggested going outside, they would agree, right?
“I’m going to the swamp. There are many fun places there. Do you want to go with me? Uncle Yan Qin is there too.”
