Xiao Budian plucked the ‘Nine Steps to Heaven’ Herb, and rubbed its thin bamboo-like leaves between his fingers. He grinned to himself, "It’s just like what that person said. This is a rare treasure."
He scanned his surroundings shiftily with his large round eyes, "Well, I should leave now. That person should be returning anytime now."
With that, Xiao Budian slipped out of the mansion and disappeared amongst the crowds on the street.
Lin Feng gazed at Xiao Budian’s back in silence, and as he noticed Miao Shihao’s vision shifting towards him, he coughed to clear his throat. "Ahem, how embarrassing."
Miao Shihao grinned widely and said, "Not at all. I’m actually quite fond of this brat."
Lin Feng forced a hollow laugh, and thought to himself, "My poor disciple, you’re being admired by such a sissy. I don’t even know whether this is a blessing or a curse."
