Chapter 519: A Big Loss for Saving Face
Da Mao and Hui Xiong stole a glance at Zhou Dazhu's beaming face and shrugged helplessly. They always followed their boss' instructions. The most important thing right now was to leave Futian Village quickly. They couldn't be captured alive by these villagers, or their lives would be in danger.
Under the cover of night, the three of them carefully came to the edge of the wall and quickly climbed out of the hidden hole.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Dazhu suddenly called out to Damao and Huixiong.
He looked at the cave entrance and said, "Let's seal this cave." Now, his son is safest in the village. Even if he has to risk his life, he must protect his son.
Da Mao and Hui Xiong didn't dare to delay and immediately searched around, brought a few large rocks, and laboriously blocked the cave entrance. Zhou Dazhu also found some branches and carefully placed them at the cave entrance to cover it up.
Just when everything was about to be completed, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the cave: "Wait a minute."
The sudden sound was like a thunderclap, frightening Zhou Dazhu so much that his hand trembled and the branch in his hand fell with a "crash". He gripped his sword tightly and shouted, "Who's over there?"
At the entrance of the cave, a slightly mysterious voice came slowly: "Want to cooperate?"

Nanyang Prefecture City
Bowen found the waiter who sold the "thousand-year-old eggs" and, through his tenacity, managed to get the extorted money back. Then, the three of them, filled with anger, hurriedly moved out of the inn.
As Wen Yuan put the luggage onto the carriage, he couldn't help but complain, "You're such a stubborn person! I've always told you to keep a low profile here and not cause any trouble, but you just wouldn't listen. Now, look what happened! You've even started a fight with the waiter."
"What's wrong with me?" Bowen retorted without a shred of timidity. "They're clearly trying to extort money. How can I just stand by and watch them swindle me out of my money? Is there any justice or law left in this world?"
Wen Yuan sighed helplessly and asked, "Do you think this is a place where the law can be enforced?"
Ji Feng climbed onto the carriage and asked, "Master, are we going to the academy with Master Wenyuan?"
Before Bowen could even open his mouth, Wenyuan spoke up, "If you don't go to my place, where else can you go? If you had listened to me from the beginning and gone to my place as soon as you entered the city, how could all this trouble have happened?"
Bowen snorted coldly and said angrily, "Go to Long Qiushan! My students are all over the country, is there no place for me? It's a joke."
As he spoke, the portly old man suddenly climbed onto the carriage, threw Wen Yuan's bag out, and said unhappily, "Alright, let's go our separate ways. You and I really have a friendship as pure as water."
Wen Yuan hugged the bundle tightly, his eyes revealing a mixture of helplessness and concern. He looked at the stubborn and face-saving old man in the carriage and said softly, "Junior brother, are you really angry? I just said that because I was afraid of attracting the attention of Concubine Sun and her followers... The world is complicated, so we should act with caution."
However, before Wenyuan could finish his words, Bowen, with a look of rage on his face, slapped the horse's rump. The horse neighed in pain and galloped forward.
Ji Feng quickly turned to look at Bowen, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and asked, "Master, Long Qiushan's farm is not far ahead. Are you sure you want to go there?"
Bowen nodded heavily. "Go, why not? Long Qiushan's family is big and powerful, and he's generous. He's not as petty as some people. When I go this time, Master Long will definitely treat me as a guest of honor and with all due courtesy. Humph!"
The carriage slowly moved forward. Soon, it slowly stopped in front of an extremely magnificent villa.
"Master, we're here." Ji Feng reminded softly.
Bowen sat in the carriage, half-closed his eyes, with a leisurely and somewhat arrogant look, and said, "Go knock on the door, there is no reason for me to come in person."
He was the Master of Bowen at the number one academy in the world, and there were countless parents of students who were eager to curry favor with him. Naturally, it would be fitting for his status if he asked the parents of the students to go out and greet them in person.
Ji Feng responded and swiftly jumped off the carriage. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the doorknob. The door creaked open, and the doorman poked his head out. Seeing a scholar in blue clothes, he looked him up and down and asked, "Who are you?"
Ji Feng bowed slightly and said politely, "Please tell Master Long that Master Bowen from Wenyuan Academy is here to visit."
When the concierge heard that the visitor was actually from the academy where his young master studied, he did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly wanted to welcome the person in. "Quick, please come in, please come in, I will go and tell the master right away."
Ji Feng turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the carriage, "You should ask your master to come out in person."
The doorman quickly replied, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment." Without even taking a breath, the doorman turned and trotted towards the hall, shouting as he ran, "Master, someone is coming from the Capital Academy!"
When Lord Long, who was sitting in the hall, heard someone coming from the academy, he jumped up from his chair and asked anxiously, "Is there any news about the young master?"
The doorman, breathless from running, quickly replied, "I don't know, but the man who arrived looked quite impressive, and it seemed he wanted you, sir, to greet him in person."
As for what it was called, I forgot because I ran so fast.
Upon hearing this, the butler's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "How dare you! Who has the guts to ask the master to come and greet him personally? Go tell him to come in if he wants to. If he's being arrogant and refuses to come in, get out right away!"
When Lord Long heard the butler's words, he couldn't help but frown. He was really dissatisfied. Even if the other party was sent by Wenyuan Academy, this was really too much.
In Qingshui County, even the county magistrate would show some respect to him. Thinking back to when he retired from banditry and endured countless hardships to build his current fortune, it was truly not easy.
His son was a promising student, and he always attached great importance to his son's studies, fearing any mistakes. However, the current situation really made him angry.
He was just a servant in a college, yet they dared to let him go to greet them in person.
The butler immediately sensed the conflict and discontent within Long Ye. He bowed slightly and said softly, "Master, I'll leave this matter to this old servant. If anyone dares to treat you with such disregard, the young master will likely suffer considerable hardship while studying in the capital. However, if the visitor is truly a remarkable figure, I can immediately invite you to come forward. It won't be a problem."
