I was full of question marks, puzzled by Lu Chen's inquiry. What did he mean?
During this visit, the man hadn't asked for anything from me, and the first thing he did ask for was this thing?
Rocking horse?
Was he planning to ride this thing to reincarnation even after death?
I carelessly tossed the rocking horse to Lu Chen, feeling ashamed to be seen holding such an unlucky toy.
A proper paper-crafting artisan without any other skills, capable only of... if your father's father is called a grandfather?
I had intended to broaden Lu Chen's horizons and keep him away from paper-crafting artisans and Chuma disciples, but hadn't expected such a misunderstanding to arise.
Lu Chen took the rocking horse and curiously fiddled with it.
Ninth Master Chang finally spoke after recuperating in my palm for a while:
"I...my Eighth Brother was too ruthless, and even with Second Brother and Third Brother holding back Master, oh... I, Ninth Lord, am going to be beaten to death."
