Chapter 386 Garbage in Human Shape

Their breakfast was simple, including some boiled sweet potatoes, a few bowls of coarse cereal porridge and a few plates of pickled cucumbers and vegetables. As merchants, they often ate these food during their journey.

After seeing Lin Mengya, Master Guo just raised his eyes to glance at her and then continued eating his porridge.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Baishao even secretly dragged her Master’s clothes, for fear that her master would be unable to find a way out of the embarrassing situation.

However, instead of feeling embarrassed, Lin Mengya directly sat by the table and began to gobble up the food, which was considered for pig, with them.

Baishao stared at her Master in surprise. They had never eaten these food in the prince’s mansion.

Now, why did her Master enjoy these food a lot? If Ms. Tian saw her Master’s table manners, she would definitely be saddened into faintness.

However, Master Guo and his two deputies showed a touch of admiration in their eyes.

Lin Mengya helped herself to everything she saw on the table with the three men.

Obviously, these three strong men did not expect that this young man, who seemed to be too frail to stand a gust of wind, would eat so much.

Seeing him wipe his mouth with his sleeve casually, those three men even showed slight smiles on their dark faces.

Master Guo, sitting between them, should be about fifty years old.

As the former chief of an escort house, he didn’t show any weakness of an old man after years of experiencing the severe test of wind and sand.

Instead, he showed a cruel and decisive spirit of an experienced man.

On his dark face, there was a pair of slightly flaccid eyes emitting a gleam which seemed to be able to see through people’s mind.

On his chin, his grey beard had never been shaved carefully and grew wildly like him.

Those who had made a living in the business circle all year round wouldn’t easily provoke the man in front of Lin Mengya. He was like a treasured sword which had been through years of hardship. Although he had lost his sparkle forever, his chilling sharp edge couldn’t be hidden.

Nevertheless, at the same time, those people also knew that someone like him was the most straightforward and righteous.

Being a friend of him, they could understand what the passionate way of repaying and revenge meant and what sacrificing himself for saving his friend meant.

Apparently, Master Guo had a good impression of Lin Mengya now.

Master Guo picked up his pipe on the table. His experienced pose suggested that he was obviously a chain smoker.

Lin Mengya took out the pipe she had just tied to her waist and presented it respectfully with both hands.

“This is…”

Master Guo raised his eyelids to glance at it and asked deliberately.

“Master Guo, this is my small gift for you. We meet for the first time, so I should ask you to take care of us.”

The pipe with gold gilding in her hand had a mouth made of white jade. It was extremely precious, but Lin Mengya regarded it as an ordinary small object with neither complacency nor a show of humility on her face.

She was neither humble nor arrogant, but showed the respect in front of an elder.

Master Guo took over Lin Mengya’s gift after glancing at her and knocking the table three times with his pipe.

He tied the old pipe to his waist and took over the new pipe without taking another look at it.

Instead, he put his tobacco shreds in it, ignited the tobacco shreds with a flint, took a light drag, and then said.

“Okay, thank you. Sit down. All members of our caravan are going to gather here soon.”

The atmosphere was finally eased.

The two black-faced men sitting next to Master Guo also began to show rough smiles and talk with Lin Mengya.

Baishao didn’t understand why her Master had put up with that.

However, Yuan San beside them showed a meaningful smile. He had forgotten to remind his new Master of the rules here just now, but he did not expect that his new Master did better than he imagined.

It was no wonder that the deputy Hall Master urged him to protect the new Master in front of him with all his heart before they set out.

It seemed that she was not just the behind-the-scenes owner of a pharmacy subordinate to the Sanjue Hall.

“Little brother, please don’t take it amiss if we’ve offended you just now.”

Between the two black-faced men, the one on the left dressed in black clothes and looking malicious was called Zhao Fei. Although he looked a bit fierce, he became very polite and gentle when talking.

The other bearded man was called Wen Shi, and was a silent person who was reluctant to talk.

Master Guo sat and smoked, and people kept coming to chat with him. Meanwhile, Zhao Fei, who was sitting next to him, started to talk with Lin Mengya.

“Brother Zhao, it’s very kind of you to say so. As a member of the martial arts circle, how would I care about these trivial matters? Moreover, without the help of Master Guo and two brothers on the way, I would probably be killed by villains during the journey.”

Lin Mengya said with a smile. She was straightforward, so now she was less restrained as a man.

She became more unrestrained and bold instead. Within a short time, she had won the favor of Zhao Fei and Wen Shi.

The three of them began to call each other brothers. At the sight of this, Baishao secretly felt worried, for fear that her Master would become extremely rude ever since.

All members arrived soon. These people often traveled extensively. Although most of them were subordinate to the Sanjue Hall, they were not familiar with each other.

Of course, on the surface, they were all real businessmen.

If it weren’t for Yunzhu’s list, even Lin Mengya wouldn’t have recognized them.

She secretly cheered in her heart. It seemed that it was a right decision for her to ask Yunzhu to come out and work for her. If these people helped them open up their sphere of influence, the forces of the Sanjue Hall could spread all over the world sooner or later!

Everyone came over to say hello to Master Guo, and naturally saw her talking fervently with the two subordinates of Master Guo.

Nevertheless, no one bothered her, but just greeted her by smiling politely at her.

After all, anyone, who could sit next to Master Guo, must have won his favor. They needed to rely on Master Guo on the way, so they couldn’t offend his friend.

Lin Mengya also knew Master Guo’s intention, so she tried to maintain a gentle and friendly smile in front of everyone.

They were all members of a caravan. It was always good to be nice to them.

However, a big bird flew in various forests.

As Lin Mengya thought that the caravan was full of elites, a lump of garbage in human shape kept staring at Baishao with flirting eyes.

Most of the caravan members looked at the garbage, choking with silent fury.

But at the same time, they were worried about the little childe who looked very kind.

“Ah…”

Baishao, who had stayed there quietly, suddenly screamed in horror and then stared angrily at the complacent scum with her murderous eyes.

Lin Mengya looked towards the direction of the scream, only to see Baishao’s flushed face and a guy who was sniffing his left hand obscenely.

“It’s so fragrant. Little lady, do you specially come here and wait for me?”

Garbage in human shape was actually garbage. He looked dandified, but considered himself pretty handsome.

However, in Lin Mengya’s eyes, his delicate face had become extremely ugly because of his indecent behavior.

People around were pointing at them, and some even seemed to enjoy the show.

They obviously thought that such a seductive show of taking liberties with a beauty in the morning was so entertaining.

Baishao was definitely not willing to suffer a loss. After recovering from the shock of being treated indecently, she instantly slapped the man violently.

The people around considered that she did the right thing. For a while, they sneered and discussed lively.

“Oops, little lady, you are quite fiery. What’s up? Are you going to have some fun with me?”

The garbage became even more arrogant, and seemed to consider himself impressive.

He even stared at Baishao’s chest firmly with his wretched eyes and seemed to be unable to hide his greed. However, his view was blocked by a figure dressed in steel grey clothes in the next second.

“Are you all right?”

Lin Mengya asked softly. Baishao shook her head in grievance, but her eyes were full of tears.

During the long period she lived in the prince’s mansion, no one had dared to treat her so rascally. Thus, Baishao, who suffered this kind of humiliation for the first time, was tremendously ashamed and indignant.

But she could do nothing to that rogue.

“Xiao Sanzi, take Young Madam to the carriage for a rest. I’ll handle the situation here.”

Yuan San was a little worried, but he knew that Baishao must be still suffering from the shock after suffering a lot.

The garbage in human shape looked the young man in front of him up and down. Different from him, the young man was extremely good-looking. Even the gigolos, who earned a living by prostitution in the capital city, appeared insignificant when compared with the young man.

He touched his chin. No one knew what he was thinking about as a bisexual man.

“Which hand did you just use to touch my wife?”

Repressed her anger, Lin Mengya sneered.

Although she was petite and obviously not as burly as the scum in front of her, she was fearless, staring coldly at the scum in front of her.

“Hey, little childe, you look so pretty, as juicy as your wife. What’s up? Do you feel lonely and want to serve me like your wife or anything else?”

The scum grinned indecently again, but Lin Mengya curled her finger and deliberately gave the scum a flirting smile.

“Come here. I have something to tell you.”

The bystanders all thought that this little childe was afraid of the scum, so he intended to flatter him.

However, the situation suddenly changed before they cast disdainful looks at him.

They saw that as the scum intended to grab the young childe’s shoulder, the young childe suddenly dodged and then caught the scum off guard with a neat sweep kick.

Before the scum was about to struggle, she was fully prepared to seize him by the throat with her small hands.

With a bang, the scum’s head was pressed firmly against the table by her.
