Chapter 2769

Since that little brat Shan Hu had dared to set his sights on him, Venerable Hong naturally taught him a lesson without the slightest bit of courtesy.

Having been taught a lesson, Shan Hu wore a mournful face, but in front of Venerable Hong, he truly had no temper to speak of.

As for Chen Mang on the side, he very wisely chose to remain silent.

To speak up at a time like this—wasn't that just asking for death?

After venting the anger in his heart, Venerable Hong's mood improved quite a bit, while the bruised and swollen Shan Hu said with a resentful look.

"Then, this junior will take his leave?"

After speaking, he glanced at Venerable Hong, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, Shan Hu finally dared to take Chen Mang and leave.

Who could have imagined that this old thing would actually leave an external incarnation in his own cave dwelling? It was simply outrageous.

But just as he turned around and hadn't even taken two steps, Venerable Hong's voice came from behind him.

"Wait a moment."

Huh???

Hearing this, Shan Hu's body stiffened. Still at it? He had just been beaten up; was he still not planning to let him go?

However, since Venerable Hong had spoken, Shan Hu didn't dare to leave directly and could only turn around sullenly, looking at Venerable Hong with a resentful expression.

Forget it, having been caught red-handed, what else could he say? Whether it was a beating or a punishment, he would just have to accept his fate.

But what Shan Hu didn't expect was that Venerable Hong didn't continue to attack, but instead said irritably.

"Didn't you want wine? You're leaving without taking the wine?"

Huh???

"Peak Master, this is..."

"What 'this' or 'that'? Come in with me."

Although he had taught Shan Hu a harsh lesson, Venerable Hong still couldn't bring himself to be truly heartless.

This kid wanted to find fine wine to entertain his friend, and Venerable Hong wasn't such a stingy person; he could still afford to bring out a few jars of fine wine.

Bringing Shan Hu and his companion into the cave dwelling, Venerable Hong told him to go choose the wine himself. Seeing this, Shan Hu was still in a daze for a moment.

With a bewildered face, he picked out three jars of good wine and stared blankly at Venerable Hong. Seeing this, Venerable Hong said irritably.

"If you've picked them, then get lost. What are you staring at me for?"

"This... Peak Master, are you serious?"

"Do you think I'm joking with you? Get lost quickly, I'll deal with you when I return."

Seeing that Venerable Hong was really giving him good wine, Shan Hu grinned. Although he looked ridiculous with his bruised and swollen face, he still smiled brightly.

"Many thanks, Peak Master. When you return, I won't even frown if you want to kill or punish me."

"Get lost."

Happily hugging the fine wine, he left. After coming out of Venerable Hong's cave dwelling, Chen Mang glanced at Shan Hu, who was still foolishly happy, and asked suspiciously.

"You've been beaten like this, what are you still happy about?"

"Hehe, why wouldn't I be happy? Isn't the wine in hand? Let me tell you, the wine collected by Peak Master Hong is truly good stuff. You'll know in a moment. Let's go, let's head back to the cafeteria first."

With the fine wine in hand, Shan Hu's mood improved quite a bit, and he took Chen Mang back to the cafeteria.

Just as they entered the backyard of the cafeteria, they saw Ye Changqing leaning on a lounge chair. Seeing Shan Hu's bruised and swollen appearance, Ye Changqing laughed.

"What, were you beaten by Peak Master Hong?"

"Big Brother, I..."

"Your guts are getting bigger and bigger, daring to enter his cave dwelling to steal wine?"

Under the sweep of his divine sense, the little things this kid Shan Hu did naturally couldn't be hidden from Ye Changqing; he saw it all clearly.

However, Ye Changqing wasn't worried that Venerable Hong would hurt him, so he hadn't gone over earlier.

Now, seeing Shan Hu's bruised and swollen appearance, he couldn't help but be amused.

This kid was truly thick-skinned; suffering a bit and getting a lesson was for the best.

Facing Ye Changqing, Shan Hu wasn't as nervous, and he walked up to Ye Changqing with a smile.

"Big Brother, why don't you cook a few dishes tonight? I'm entertaining Brother Chen Mang."

Now that there was good wine, how could there not be good food?

Hearing this, Ye Changqing glanced at Chen Mang. Had these two silly kids become friends through fighting?

However, Ye Changqing was happy to see it happen, so he nodded and said.

"Alright, at mealtime, I'll make two dishes for you."

"Hehe, Big Brother is still the best."

"Enough of that, go back to your room and treat those injuries. Look at the state you're in."
