Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife
Chapter 22 - You can choose now
It had been a while since Wei Jiayi watched a good show. It still did not rectify the fact that this had bothered and wasted his time a lot.
Aside from that, his shopkeeper's action did not go unnoticed. A stupid action with the desperation to defend.
He always believed mortals were not desperate if they did not have a reason.
It was also in the mortal's nature to be on the safe side and not act without benefits.
Watching his own shopkeeper become the playthings of the hungry crows still looked interesting for Wei Jiayi.
…
Before an incense of time was over, most of the crows finally left the courtyard. They still remained around though. Some were on the roof, waiting for something.
Some were still around the scattered walnuts like they were guarding their food and would attack if anyone attempted to approach.
Seeing this, Xi Ma brow wrinkled. He felt that he would be getting a headache soon. This young woman was the cause of all of this.
Why bother to have this large commotion? He was sure that all the citizens of the Shizi Empire would have a feast regarding this strange incident.
Xi Ma's assumption was correct. From that day onwards, when a crow was spotted anywhere, the story of when the Medical Pavilion was raided by thousands of crows would be remembered.
He really felt bad about the situation. This was the first time he had encountered such an event and Xi Ma did not know how to explain it to his master.
Though thinking this he surely did not consider that since there's a limit to how long the mute old beggar could choose the poisonous walnuts, Gao Lan Mei just created the best tool as a solution to segregate.
Beasts were very picky about their food. A relative example was crows who would eat just about anything if it's not poisonous. With that, the ones that were not touched were the one that could not be eaten.
Gao Lan Mei needed to show one of her cards to get what she wanted. In case this incident and rumors related to her spread, no one would believe them. After all, she was the famous waste of a daughter from the Gao family.
Since the crows were still around, no one wanted to approach or help Shopkeeper Yu who was currently lying on the ground with wounds all over his body but mostly on his face.
Of course, the wounds were caused by the crow's pecking. Every peck left a hole which meant that the flesh was taken as well to be eaten. There were also bleeding claw marks that looked deep enough to make anyone cringe.
By just looking at his current appearance, one would have thought that he was a very loyal and honest man working at the Medical Pavilion.
Some also thought that he was stupid. Especially those that were left in the courtyard to watch his volunteered suffering.
There were less than ten people who stayed after some already left to save themselves from the bird attack. Those who were still there watching were mostly high-level cultivators from known families.
This made Xi Ma more concerned as the families who were left were the lackeys of the other princes. Especially Ye Ju from the Ye Family. He was a close friend of the second prince.
