Martial Peak

Chapter 3843, Old Fang

“Otherwise, why do you think this Old Master is willing to work so hard on catching worms?” The old man continued disdainfully.

Yang Kai rubbed his chin, “No wonder!”

As a Worker, one would receive three Open Heaven Pills every year. Although Yang Kai did not know how significant these three Open Heaven Pills were, he could infer from Dié You’s tone and attitude before that it was a rather insignificant amount.

Now he learned he could get Open Heaven Pills easily if he could please the Ruler of the Dawn Great General. Who would not pursue such a good thing? No wonder the old man was so happy to hear that there were worms on the tree just now.

Yang Kai’s eyes could not help following the worm squirming in the box in the old man’s hand.

“What are you planning to do?” The old man covered his treasure box, his beard flapping as he stared at Yang Kai, mainly because he had been threatened too many times by this bandit today. He already knew that the young man in front of him was nothing good. He could guess what Yang Kai was up to with just a look on his face.

“Old Sir…” Yang Kai reached out his hand and patted the old man on the shoulder, “There’s something you don’t know, I promised Ruler of the Dawn Great General two days ago that I would catch five Jade Fire Silkworms for him within a month, but you already know the situation of my land, there are thirty fruit trees in total, how can I get that many worms…”

“Scram!”

“If you don’t want to give me the worms, you could at least give me a set of worm-catching tools. That incense seems to be somewhat useful, and this box seems to be specially made too.”

The old man was silent, which confirmed Yang Kai’s guess.

“Old Sir, you don’t want me to haunt you day and night about this, do you?”

The old man sneered, “Do you really think you really can threaten this Old Master?”

Yang Kai quickly responded, “I wouldn’t dare. You are a respected Senior and I’m nothing but a newcomer, how could I be so daring as to be rude to you? But I really don’t have any tools to capture worms, and I don’t know where to acquire them. We’re all in a foreign land, so we should help each other, no?”

The old man’s face remained dark and unmoved.

Yang Kai continued, “It’s not a big deal, I’ll just buy a new set and return it to you in the future. Is that good enough for you?”

“I only have this set! I don’t have any extra, so I can’t give it to you even if I wanted to,” The old man’s expression softened a little.

“Then let me borrow it first…” Yang Kai snickered and pointed at the box in his hand, “Lend me that worm too. I’ll give you any Open Heaven Pills if I get them.”

The old man was moved, “Really?”

Yang Kai put his arm around the old man’s shoulders affectionately, “We are neighbours, and we’ll see each other regularly as we work together in the future. What’s the benefit of me lying to you? It’s because I made a promise to the Ruler of the Dawn Great General, and I’ll be in trouble if I can’t complete the task within a month.”

“Seems you’re at least a bit sincere…” The old man pondered for a while, “If that’s the case, this Old Master can lend you this.”
