"Do you think these sticky things will really be able to protect people? "
Plastering the umpteenth talisman on the inner wall of the shelter, Zhang Long Wei asked the youth besides, raising one brow. The youth was in charge of carrying armfuls of talismans whereas he was to plaster them on each and every wall of this temporary shelter.
It was a miracle in itself how harmoniously the duo were working together right now despite the incident from a few days ago. One got slapped like a pervert, not to mention a special bonus was added with a bang in the head while the other almost had his head crashed right there.
Well..... but with the immortal Wang to supervise them, of course, anything was possible as long as a single command came out from him. Yeah... the smart immortal could sense the tension between the two these days. Their trainings didn't seem to be going well either. Though he did say Zhang Long Wei to handle his son by himself, he knew it was impossible.
So the immortal master decided to help his poor disciple. To make sure that the two get to know each other, immortal Wang let them go down the mountain with a mission to place soul protectors in temporary shelters.
These shelters were built temporarily for inhabitants whose lost their homes and for prostitutes who were yet to get summoned to the capital. Butterfly village was still in its renovating stage, so that's how people ended up building shelters.
The original soul protectors were burnt and ruined in the fire. Even so, Butterfly village was just a small one with inhabitants no more than a hundred. It would only take less than an hour or two if immortal Wang were to send a dozen of disciples to place soul protectors here. But he didn't. Just to make sure that his son and disciple got enough time to learn about each other, immortal Wang only make the duo go for the mission.
Yeah... it was like a good hour already. Still, the pair of little master and unruly disciple didn't talk the whole time, let alone getting to know each other. It was as though they were playing a game "Who can shut the fuck up longer. "
Now with himself taking the initiative to have a word, it's obvious Zhang Long Wei was the loser here. Regardless of the fact these two didn't speak for the entire hour at all, it was a complete different story when it came to their task. They worked so harmoniously as though this was a regular occurrence. Apart from some dead silence surrounding them, everything seemed to be all fine and okay. Like this, Zhang Long Wei who was in a good mood attempted to initiate a conversation.
"What? You're doubting the capability of emperor Ming? "
Handing him another talisman, Wang Li Jie responded the question with a question. Not that he believed in the power of these soul protectors implicitly either. But still, the youth could tell just from this little master's tone alone that he also didn't have faith in them as well. He was curious if this little master would have some guts to criticize the great emperor openly.
"Obviously, I don't think they are nothing more than some sheets of paper. "
Emperor Ming could be barely his equal in the past, so Zhang Long Wei was especially unimpressed when it came to that so-called Ming or whatever emperor.
"Ahh....that fuckin mouth of you is just so useful in spitting out utter nonsense, isn't it? "
With a shrug of his shoulders, Zhang Long Wei only smiled at the youth's offensive words. The two had now exited the shelter. Sauntering leisurely in the middle of the street, the bored Wang Li Jie who was almost worn out from carrying piles of soul protectors grumbled.
"Seriously..... how long is it going to take to finish this task? All four of my hands and legs have gone out of energy already. "
From his peripheral view, the youth peeked at the reaction of his little master. To tell the truth, it's not that he's the only one here who had to carry this pile. The two took turns every half an hour. In fact, it was only some incense stick of time this youth started carrying these things. Even so, with his currently weak condition, this kind of small activities alone was indeed enough to wear him out.
"Then, why not give them to me? Anyway, it's gonna be my turn in a matter of minutes. "
Sensing the youth's hidden motives, Zhang Long Wei asked. But words like seeming refusal didn't come. The youth was quick to approve and handed them over in a flash.
"You really are as weak as a girl, aren't you? "
Zhang Long Wei mumbled this particular line under his breath. But it didn't seem to miss the youth's sharp hearing. With a frown, Wang Li Jie who was stretching his hands with a radiant smile turned to his direction before asking, his expression turned all solemn.
"What did you just say? "
"Nothing."
Unwilling to start another conflict in the public, Zhang Long Wei just chose to shut his mouth up. They were now right in front of another temporary shelter. The one from earlier was for the fairer sex. And this shelter here, of course, was for males.
Nodding to the elder physician who was sitting in front of the door, Wang Li Jie asked for a permission with ultimate respect. One might even wonder if this youth possessed multiple personalities or something. His disciple literally had such impressive ability to change expressions in a second, making Zhang Long Wei wonder whether the version earlier was simply his own hallucination.
But then, as soon as they stepped into the building and no one was around, Wang Li Jie had turned into his original detective mode once again.
"You're bad-mouthing me just now, yes? My hearing is quite accurate. I shouldn't hear it wrong. What is that you just say? Ah.... that... I'm as weak-"
"I already told you it's nothing, so it's just really nothing. Why do you keep trying to delve into this matter? You really like to talk to me this much, don't you? "
"Humph!.... as if !!!"
With that said, the youth grabbed a sheet of talisman from his little master's piles. With those lines on his forehead getting deeper, the youth began to plaster talismans all over the wall. He was feeling indignant right now. Even so, to prove his little master wrong, Wang Li Jie didn't utter a single word anymore. Like this, the duo went back to square one yet again. It seemed like today's afternoon was bound to be a boring one with absolute silence as their sole company.....
