"Master, I have something to report,"
When Empress Feng returned from Guxuan Peak, she saw Chu Liang waiting for her in the hall of the attic with a serious look on his face.
She immediately looked excited, "What? Did you get beaten up again?"
"..." Even if I did get beaten up, you don't have to be so cheerful about it. Chu Liang couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
He looks as though he's reveling in another's misfortune.
Of course, he understood why Empress Feng had this reaction. Previous experiences of him being bullied had led her to form the concept that her disciple "getting beaten" equated to "profit".
She had been paying people for the fights she got into for decades. It was only recently when she found out that she could make money while fighting, thanks to Chu Liang's arrival.
Sadly, this time the disciple wasn't bullied... I'm sorry to disappoint you, master.
