Extra 3.2 Old Place (Part 3.2)
At this moment, his hand was faster than his brain. True to his past as Guard Mo who was used to throwing hidden weapons in the Dark Hall, he picked up a brick from beside him and threw it, hitting the wooden door squarely.
Bang!!
The wooden door was slammed shut by the force of the brick, making a loud noise.
The wise and martial Jiuzhong Palace Master had the door slammed shut in front of him for the first time in his two lifetimes combined.
…An awkward silence spread.
Guard Mo, who had realized what he had done, suppressed the urge to slap himself. Following the idea of breaking the pot and falling, he ran over in two or three steps to first hold the door panel. “This place is unclean, master, don’t come in…” (TL: breaking the pot and falling-allow things to worsen even if you know there are faults or mistakes)
As soon as the door was closed, Chu Yan became even more panicked. “Ah Ren! Open the door! What’s wrong with you!? You, don’t scare this Master, don’t be like this… open the door quickly!”
He knew that with Mo Ren’s enduring nature, if he quietly vomited a few liters of blood behind the door, no one outside would notice at all.
In addition to just standing outside the door and hearing almost all of Mo Ren’s words, Chu Yan’s heart was already in so much pain that it felt as if a piece of flesh had been cut off. The tremor in his voice was becoming more and more fragmented, almost pleading, “Listen, you listen… It’s this Master’s fault for yelling at you like that, this Master admits his mistake, if you’re upset, take it out on this Master, don’t hurt yourself!”
“Master, calm down, this subordinate is fine…this subordinate is really fine! This subordinate is not upset and hasn't thought too much about anything…!”
Mo Ren was really anxious when he heard Chu Yan, and he also became anxious. The indescribable look in the eyes of Xiao Wu, who was kneeling behind him, made him feel like a thorn in his back—
After all, the dignified Jiuzhong Palace Master and his personal guard shouting through the wooden door, it must not be very solemn and majestic…
But at this moment, he really couldn’t open the door. If he opened the door, wouldn’t the palace master come in directly and hold him in his arms?
Jokingly, in Guard Mo’s mind, it was okay for him to joke and belittle himself privately with this little slave, but it was absolutely unacceptable to dirty the palace master.
So Mo Ren could only continue to hold the door, pleading, “This subordinate is unclean, please allow this subordinate to clean himself before going out…”
“Ah Ren!” Where could Chu Yan listen now? He was both anxious and angry, and slapped the door.
But Mo Ren was right behind the door, where would he dare to infuse his inner strength? Not to mention inner strength, he didn’t even dare to exert too much force, just like a resentful woman knocking on the door, “This Master doesn't care about those, you open the door first, listen, open the door!”
“…” Guard Mo silently increased the force on his hand against Chu Yan, silently expressing his opposition.
Silent for a long while, the two were at a stalemate. Finally, it was Palace Master Chu who couldn’t hold on and gave in. He sighed and said, “…Alright, this Master will wait for you.”
Mo Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and pulled up the young man who was kneeling on the ground with one hand, and hurriedly walked towards the clean hand pool.
And Xiao Wu, who had watched the entire conversation between the Jiuzhong Palace Master and the person in front of him, now sounded like he was about to cry, “Big brother…ah no, Daren… this slave deserves to die…”
