Chapter 223 3-Year Agreement
Wu Feng refused without hesitation, making the atmosphere awkward in an instant.
The village chief secretly tugged at Wu Feng's clothes and scolded him in a low voice, "Talk to Miss Meng nicely. Miss Meng didn't force you to do anything."
He turned around and smiled at Meng Xiyue again, "I'm sorry, girl, this kid is stubborn and doesn't know how to talk."
Meng Xiyue forced a smile and nodded. She really wanted to say that she must buy this mountain.
Wu Feng has to sell it even if he doesn't want to.
But she also saw Wu Feng's character. The tougher her attitude was, the more he would resist.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "I really like this mountain. Can I go for a walk?"
"Of course you can. I'll take the girl to have a look." The village chief said quickly.
"Village chief, you go and do your work. I'll take Miss Meng for a walk." Wu Feng suddenly said.
"This..." The village chief was a little hesitant. He indeed had a lot of things to do. Judging from Meng Xiyue's expression, he would not go down the mountain for a while.
"It's okay, Village Chief. I know the way and I'll go back by myself later."
Meng Xiyue also nodded in agreement.
"How can I let you go back alone? Wu Feng, you should stay with Miss Meng and personally send her back to the village later."
The village chief gave instructions with concern, and only left when he saw Wu Feng nodded in agreement.
Wu Feng put down the tools in his hands, brushed off the dust on his body, and said.
"Girl, please."
Meng Xiyue smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Master Wu."
The two continued to walk upstairs. This place was indeed well taken care of by Wu Feng.
You can see that he put a lot of thought into it, no wonder he was reluctant to sell it.
"Mr. Wu, I heard from the village chief that you spent all your savings to buy this mountain a year ago. Why did you choose this one?"
"like."
Wu Feng answered concisely.
Meng Xiyue continued to ask, "Then why do you want to plant so many flowers and plants on the mountain? It takes time and effort, and they may not survive."
"Easy."
Hearing these two words, Meng Xiyue suddenly felt a nameless fire rising, "Wu Feng, can you answer my question properly?"
Wu Feng stopped and looked at her innocently.
"I answered very seriously. I don't know how to fish or grow kelp. I just want to plant some flowers and plants on the mountain when I have nothing to do. Is that a problem?"
Meng Xiyue took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, "No problem, no problem."
"But you can't live like this forever. Sell me this mountain and I'll pay you ten times the price. Then you can use the money to live in the city and start a business. You can live a better life, right?"
"I'm not selling it."
Wu Feng's firm answer immediately made Meng Xiyue furious. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard him say again.
"But I can give it to a girl."
"What did you say?" Meng Xiyue felt like she was hallucinating.
Seeing her confused look, Wu Feng couldn't help but laugh, "I said I won't sell it, but I can give it to you, girl."
Hearing his words, Meng Xiyue was not happy. Instead, she frowned and looked at him sarcastically.
"You're still saying you're not Xie Junyi? If you're not him, why would you give it to me? Did you know I needed this mountain a long time ago and bought it in advance just to wait for me here?"
"Xie Junyi, stop playing these tricks on me. I am no longer someone you can fool around with, and I will not go back to Yuanqing with you."
"Uh... Miss Meng, I don't understand what you are saying." Wu Feng still looked confused.
It was as if her words were just some kind of fairy tale.
Seeing him still pretending to be stupid, Meng Xiyue snorted coldly, "Okay, you still don't admit it, right?"
"Didn't you say you would give it to me? Then tell me your conditions."
Meng Xiyue felt that if he were Xie Junyi, his condition would be nothing more than to let her go back to Yuanqing Kingdom with him.
"I..." Wu Feng lowered his head and said shyly.
"I want to take the girl as my teacher."
"what?"
Meng Xiyue wondered why Wu Feng always said shocking things.
"It's like this. I've loved reading since I was a child, and the person I admire most is Mr. Ye Xiu. However, my knowledge is shallow and I can't catch the old man's eye. I know that you are Mr. Ye Xiu's last disciple, so I shamelessly ask you to accept me as your disciple."
Wu Feng’s words made sense, but Meng Xiyue didn’t want to accept a disciple, especially one who looked like Xie Junyi.
"You want to change the terms?"
Wu Feng's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness, "No, then I can be a book boy beside the girl, okay?"
"I have a maid, I don't need a servant." Meng Xiyue refused impatiently.
"Nothing works? Forget it." Wu Feng sighed, "I'd better live out my life in this mountain."
It's really uncomfortable to hear someone in his twenties saying things like "I'll live the rest of my life".
Meng Xiyue felt as if if she didn't accept him, she would be forcing him to death.
"I know your biggest dream is to get into high school. I can send you to Donglin Academy. What do you think?"
Wu Feng shook his head. "That place is full of children from aristocratic families. There is no chance for them to make a name for themselves. After so many years, I have also realized that I am not suitable for officialdom at all, and I have no intention of joining the government."
"I only have these two requests. If the girl doesn't agree, then forget it. I don't want to force you."
Wu Feng's attitude was very firm, which made Meng Xiyue understand that there was no room for easing.
She really didn't want to agree, but she had to get the mountain.
"I can let you be my servant, but you can only stay with me for one year."
There has to be a deadline for this matter. I can't support him for the rest of his life.
"I will give you some money then, and you can do other things."
"One year is too short. Five years. I will stay with the girl for five years. After five years, I will never pester her again."
Wu Feng stretched out a hand and said.
"Five years is too long, three years..."
"Okay, three years."
Before Meng Xiyue finished speaking, Wu Feng made the decision.
She suddenly felt like she had been cheated, but she was the one who said it was three years, so she couldn't refute it.
"Okay, then three years."
Meng Xiyue sighed. She had paid too much for this mountain.
She raised her eyes and looked at Wu Feng, "Are you really not Xie Junyi?"
"The girl always says that I am that person. Why, do we look alike?" Wu Feng asked, touching his face.
"It's not very similar, it's exactly the same."
Every time she saw him, Meng Xiyue felt dazed and a little scared.
"Exactly the same? After hearing what the girl said, I really want to meet this person. Who is he and where is he?"
"He is the Prince Qi of Yuanqing State. He should still be in Yuanqing State now."
Meng Xiyue thought, if the person in front of her was really not him, then he should be busy fighting for the position of crown prince in Yuanqing Kingdom.
"King Qi? You must be joking, young lady. How dare I, a mere fisherman, marry the King Qi, who is from an enemy country?"
