Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart

Chapter 344: Acting in Opposition

The First Elder glared angrily at Chu Wuqu, his finger trembling in fury. If not for the inconclusive outcome, he would have sought another battle with Chu Wuqu."What are you staring at?" Chu Wuqu snorted coldly, "My apprentice getting married is none of you old folks’ business. You all come looking for relevance; the older you get, the more muddle-headed you are."

"Shut up!" The First Elder was so angry he felt a pain in his liver, "Say another word, and see if I don’t strike you down!"

"Then come on, I’m waiting for you to come hit me!" Chu Wuqu replied scornfully.

"You—"

"Don’t get angry, everyone!" Duan Nian couldn’t hold back and interjected, "The food is ready. Please take your seats!"

"Hmph—"

The First Elder shook his hand dismissively and was the first to return to the main room.

"Miss..." The Second Elder persistently looked at Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan smiled and kindly explained to him, "They say this is called a special physique. They say there’s a membrane outside my Dantian that can isolate the Inner Strength inside."

"I see!" The Second Elder realized, "I never imagined that Miss would be so fortunate to possess such a naturally advantageous physique!"

"How about it?" Chu Wuqu said, "This little girl is fit to be your Young Madam now, isn’t she?"

"Uh..." The Second Elder was embarrassed, "I was quite offensive earlier, please forgive me, Miss!"

"Not at all!" Shen Qinglan politely replied, "If it weren’t for the Second Elder, I wouldn’t have learned Qinggong. I should be thanking the Second Elder!"

The Second Elder chuckled.

When the elders entered the room, Luo Jing chuckled softly, "You are really impressive, girl. You quickly stunned the elders; I had a tough time back then!"

Shen Qinglan laughed lightly, "Did Aunt have a hard time back then too?"

"Didn’t I?" The Xuan Madam covered her mouth, laughing secretly, "When the Madam was about to marry in, the elders were testing martial abilities and also painting, music, calligraphy, and chess. The Madam was so angry back then she almost called off the wedding."

"So...how did they finally let Aunt go?" Shen Qinglan asked curiously.

Luo Jing sighed lightly, with a complicated expression, "My martial abilities were average, and my arts were just passable. They insisted on testing me, and if it weren’t for the manor owner and Madam stepping in at the end, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have passed."

She looked at Shen Qinglan with a smile and said, "However, you now avenged Aunt!"

Duan Yunfei and Duan Nian exchanged a glance, shaking their heads helplessly.

At the dinner table, whenever the First Elder picked a dish, Chu Wuqu would pick the same, using the same chopsticks each time.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone else only dared eat the dish in front of them. Even if they wanted something else, they resisted the urge to extend their chopsticks.

Listening to the gnashing of teeth, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but admire that despite his age, the First Elder had such good teeth.

The First Elder slammed his chopsticks on the table, gritting his teeth, "Chu Wuqu, are you insistent on opposing me today?"

"Not at all?" Chu Wuqu feigned innocence, "Aren’t you the one opposing me? Out of so many dishes, why do you keep picking the ones I like to eat?"

Regarding Chu Wuqu’s blatant denial, the others just exchanged looks, not daring to speak.

"You—" The First Elder was so angry he rose to his feet, "I’m done eating!"

"Hey~ First Elder, you haven’t eaten yet!" Xuan Ying reminded.

"I’m filled with rage!"

The First Elder snorted disdainfully and strode out the door.

Triumphant, Chu Wuqu chuckled contentedly, hurriedly switched chopsticks, and picked food for the younger generation.

"Ignore that old fossil, come on, eat more!"

The remaining three elders looked on in irritation.

Duan Nian shook his head helplessly and glanced at Xuan Hua, who nodded knowingly.
