Actually Sucking Up to a Girl

Cheng Chao smiled awkwardly and said:

"Yes, I'm just a coward. You guys just go for it and don't worry about me."

I'm not feeling well today, I need to rest for a while.

He's so scared right now, he really wants to run away, what should he do?

But his legs are weak right now.

Xie Cheng'en's men walked directly towards Zhou Wanwan, but unexpectedly, someone emerged from the shadows and stared coldly at Xie Cheng'en's men.

Soon the two sides clashed, and within a few rounds, all of Xie Cheng'en's men were lying on the ground.

Zhou Wanwan kicked the person on the ground and said:

"No way? You guys aren't trying to scam me, are you?"

"My men haven't even started fighting yet! How come they're already lying down?"

Xie Cheng'en looked at those people and said, "Useless trash, get up now! Who exactly did you bring?"

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and said, "Ah! You mean this grandpa next to me? I found him."

Xie Cheng'en roared, "Those hiding in the shadows, come out now! Attack him! He's just an old man, what are you afraid of?"

The guards all emerged from the shadows and began fighting with the old man.

But they were defeated in less than three moves. The old man laughed loudly, "These people are really trash."

No sooner had he finished speaking than countless roots appeared out of nowhere and pulled all these people away.

Xie Cheng'en blinked and asked, "What was that? What was that just now?"

No one could see clearly; they only saw many strange tentacles emerge from the ground and then pull the people away.

It was so fast that no one had time to react.

Only Cheng Chao plopped down on the ground, saying, "My goodness! You scared me to death! Why did you all have to offend her? She's not someone you can afford to offend!"

Xie Cheng'en looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You're always playing tricks on me. Hurry up and give those guards back to me."

Zhou Wanwan spread her hands and said, "Big brother, are you being reasonable? I've been standing here without moving an inch, why are you asking me?"

Uncle Scholar Tree was also getting anxious; these bodyguards were of very high quality.

Xie Cheng'en's face turned pale with anger. "You... you wait, I'll go find someone right now."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him obediently and said, "I'm not leaving. I'll wait for you on this street."

The Old Scholar Tree ate two of the hidden guards and brought two more to the Old Ancestor, who was thousands of years Old Ancestor movements were already very slow.

The Old Ancestor saw the two guards, licked a branch, and said, "Can we... really... eat people? No... that's... too... good, isn't it?"

The Old Scholar Tree coughed and said, "Old Ancestor, your power will surely increase greatly after you eat it. You might even be able to walk as fast as the wind."

Actually, the Old Scholar Tree felt that the Old Ancestor spoke too slowly; wouldn't it be better to eat two of the hidden guards?

The Old Ancestor didn't stand on ceremony and placed the two guards under the tree roots, where they were quickly absorbed completely.

After the Old Ancestor finished eating, he pulled out the tree root and said:

"Wow! I feel much better now. Do you have any more? Give me a few more."

Hehehe... He doesn't stutter anymore, and his brain works again.

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "If we leave now, who knows if that brat will bring a bunch of experts with him."

The Old Ancestor quickly followed behind the Old Scholar Tree, moving at a very fast pace:

"Oh my! I'm so old, but I feel like I've gone back to my youth."

I used to think my time was almost up, but now I feel like I've gone back to when I was over a thousand years old.

Why didn't you tell me sooner? It would have been so much better if you had!

The Old Scholar Tree said speechlessly, "I told you long ago! But you didn't believe me."

The Old Ancestor chuckled and said, "Now you believe me. Let's hurry up and go. Let's try to eat as many as possible today."

Zhou Wanwan strolled down the street, with Cheng Chao standing respectfully beside her, like her little brother.

Other scions of prominent families followed closely behind, fearing she might run away.

Zhou Wanwan walked into a shop, Cheng Chao quickly said, "What do you want to eat? I'll pay."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Cheng Chao, you're quite enlightened!"

Cheng Chao chuckled and said, "Although I'm not good at studying, I'm pretty good at judging people!"

Zhou Wanwan looked up and smiled at the waiter, "Bring out whatever you have on hand, your specialty dishes, just keep bringing them up."

The waiter glanced behind her out of the corner of his eye and was immediately stunned. A large group of young masters from prominent families were following behind her, blocking half of the entrance.

The waiter asked cautiously:

"Miss, young lady... how many of you are there? Would you like me to get you a large private room?"

With so many people, the lobby probably won't be big enough to accommodate everyone.

Zhou Wanwan nodded lightly, her tone very relaxed:

"We need a private room; there are six of us."

As for them! They're not with me.

The waiter led them to a private room. Zhou Wanwan looked at the menu and said, "Bring up all your local specialties."

The waiter nodded quickly, while the young masters from wealthy families, seeing Cheng Chao's fawning manner, couldn't help but sneer, "What kind of county magistrate's son is he? He's actually sucking up to a girl, tsk tsk tsk! How shameful!"

"Exactly! We won't associate with people like that anymore. It would lower our status to associate with someone like him."

"Don't let this little girl get away. Young Master Xie has already gone back to get reinforcements, and this time, who knows what kind of important figure will come."

The Old Scholar Tree stood outside and said:

"Did you hear that, Old Ancestor? Reinforcements will be here soon. Let's stand at the window."

As soon as those people arrive, we'll just run away, so you won't have to worry.

The Old Ancestor nodded An'an waited quietly.

This time, Xie Cheng'en found more than fifty secret guards, all of whom were secretly trained by the Xie Family.

Those who were previously abducted were all low-ranking bodyguards, but these fifty-odd are different; they are all mid-ranking bodyguards.

It's fair to say that with these bodyguards in Yunxi County, he could do whatever he wanted.

He said aggressively:

"You guys book this restaurant for me. I'm bringing that brat back today."

Be careful of the old man next to her; that old man is the most terrifying person.

The guards surrounded the entire restaurant.

Xie Cheng'en looked at the few lackeys beside him and asked, "Is she inside?"

The lackeys nodded and said:

"We didn't dare take our eyes off her while we were eating lunch, afraid she would run away."

We always eat lunch at the entrance.

"That brat has some nerve, daring to eat and drink like that. And Cheng Chao is spineless too, even treating her to dinner!"

Xie Cheng'en sighed and said, "With someone this stupid and dull-witted, County Magistrate Cheng actually wants me to take his son as a study companion? What a pipe dream!"

Cheng Chao stood next to Zhou Wanwan Zhou Wanwan, serving her food:

"This is the specialty of this store, and it's the store's number one selling point."

Honey-glazed Eight-Treasure Gourd Duck: The whole duck is deboned and stuffed with eight kinds of fillings: glutinous rice, lotus seeds, walnuts, longan, and candied dates.

Steamed until tender and falling off the bone, then drizzled with aged honey, it has a perfect balance of sweet and savory, and is incredibly nourishing.

He then pointed to another main dish that had just been served:

"And this braised fish fillet with fermented rice wine is made with fresh carp, which is lightly braised in aged fermented rice wine. It is tender, smooth, and has no fishy smell at all."

I ate here with my elders a few days ago, and it was delicious. You should try it.
