Chapter 2719 — Stop Right There!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Now only Mother Tang dared speak such treasonous words so recklessly here, and the Snow Valley disciples did not dare offer the slightest rebuttal. Everyone was used to it by now—even the Grand Elder dared not cross her, so what were these disciples?
"Uh... that's true too..." Kang Xiaofeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded. Mother Tang was something else—she was going to marry her other daughter to Wei Zhao as well?
"Right? Oh, and lately I've gathered a great many rare treasures. Take them back for Wei Zhao and have him eat them to build up his strength properly—I'll get him more good things!" Mother Tang said. "And you three have a look around too. If you see anything good, just take it back with you—don't stand on ceremony!"
"..." Kang Xiaofeng was somewhat speechless. Mother Tang, you really are formidable! He had known before that this was her character, and in the past he had not much cared for it—but today he finally realized that this character of hers was actually a good thing!
"Come on, I'll show you around!" With that, Mother Tang led Kang Xiaofeng, Xiaofen, and Liu Xinlan out of the guest room to tour Snow Valley.
This was the three's first time entering Snow Valley, and they could not help but be captivated by its scenery. It was truly beautiful and lovely here, far more beautiful than any ski resort—a landscape entirely formed by nature. Within Snow Valley, numerous steward disciples were busily at work, though at the sight of Mother Tang they all shrank away.
"You there, bring us some fruit and something good to eat!" Mother Tang pointed at a patrolling disciple.
"Yes, Madam Tang." The patrolling disciple nodded hurriedly and hurried off, then hurried back just as quickly, now carrying a platter of fruit and several glasses of freshly squeezed juice.
Kang Xiaofeng and the others gaped in astonishment, but Mother Tang took the fruit platter without a care and handed it to the three of them. "Eat up—the fruit here is pure natural, green, and pollution-free. Delicious! When you leave, take a few crates back with you. As many as you want—if that's not enough, we'll pick some fresh!"
"All right..." Kang Xiaofeng said weakly. He took two fruits and handed them to Xiaofen and Liu Xinlan, then took one for himself and began to eat. And truly, the fruit here did taste quite good—after one bite, Kang Xiaofeng did not want to put it down!
After the fruit, Mother Tang took Kang Xiaofeng, Xiaofen, and Liu Xinlan to Snow Valley's medicinal garden. Mother Tang had come to conduct her weekly routine raid, and today happened to be the day, so she brought the three of them straight there.
Just then, several Snow Valley disciples came toward them, pushing a small handcart loaded with fresh medicinal herbs just picked from Snow Valley's medicinal garden.
"You there—stop right there!" Mother Tang planted her hands on her hips and barred the disciples' way.
"Madam Tang..." the Snow Valley disciples asked hurriedly and fearfully, "Is something the matter?"
"What are you doing? Has it passed my inspection, that you're pushing it out? You pick once a week, and it must go through my inspection—only what I've looked over and rejected may be carted away. Don't you know that? You little thing, you must be new here, aren't you?" Mother Tang jabbed a finger at the disciple and scolded.
