Chapter 53
Zhao Jiangui finally leaves the Demon Sect to go down the mountain.
Although he goes with Ji Han's few bodyguards and Hua Hufa, Ji Han had told him these few people are all reliable. They absolutely won't make things difficult for him, giving him no need to worry.
Down the mountain of the Demon Sect is a small village. In the village live mostly the wives and children of the Demon Sect's members, and the town is also regarded as lush and flourishing. They chance upon a fair just then, spread across the street there is every type of vendor's stall, the crowd in the village bustling with activity.
Many people seem to all know Hua Hufa. When they greet her a number of eyes will just inevitably look in Zhao Jiangui's direction, probably seeing two people who are an extremely well-matched couple, smilingly daring to ask the sentence, "Is Hua Hufa finally looking to marry?"
Hua Hufa clearly glances at that person, "Wei Qi! Wei San'er! Don't mix up your stories, be careful or Jiaozhu will cut out your tongue."
Wei Qi doesn't understand, "What relation does this have to Jiaozhu?"
Hua Hufa points at Zhao Jiangui, her face a profound mystery, "Jiaozhu's man."
Zhao Jiangui, "..."
Wei Qi suddenly sees the light.
Someone nearby hears the activity, soon all turn their heads to stare directly at him.
Zhao Jiangui's face is cold, somewhat confused by their looks, then hangs his eyes down to pretend he's going to look at the little playthings at fruit stalls on the side of the street.
That merchant asks, "What can this gongzi be looking at?!"
Zhao Jiangui can't respond at all.
Behind him Hua Hufa says, "Whatever looking is looking, that's all."
The merchant grabs a basket of fruit, forcibly stuffs it into Zhao Jiangui's chest.
Zhao Jiangui is dumbfounded, "This..."
The merchant, "Gongzi doesn't need to be courteous! This lowly person is giving this to you!"
Zhao Jiangui, "...Ah?"
The vendor, "Whatever else gongzi likes, just take it!"
Zhao Jiangui, "This...there's no reward without merit..."
Behind him suddenly someone also calls him, "This gongzi!"
He turns, suddenly another person lifts a tightly bundled Plymouth rock chicken,* throwing it into his chest.
Zhao Jiangui, "...And this is?"
That person says, "I heard Jiaozhu received injury recently, gongzi take this back to Jiaozhu to properly mend!"
Zhao Jiangui, "No..."
That person says, "Gongzi doesn't need to express his thanks! Gongzi's happiness is just as good!"
Zhao Jiangui, "..."
Zhao Jiangui is in the middle surrounded by a crowd of people, already not wanting to speak.
Hua Hufa can't stand it and laughs.
Wei Qi looks Zhao Jiangui up and down carefully for a long time, says to Hua Hufa, "Alright, this stature, Jiaozhu's sight isn't bad."
Hua Hufa nods, "It's not bad, swindling the number one swordsman."
Wei Qi, "...What did you say?"
Hua Hufa points at Zhao Jiangui, smiles and says, "You don't think he looks familiar."
"He's Zhao..." Wei Qi chokes, sighs, "Jiaozhu's appetite, I'm just an ordinary person. I actually can't understand it, ah."
