The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism Chapter 1296 - Difference

Chapter 1296: Difference

Monkey: “… Master, this a.n.a.logy of yours is a little too… too vivid! I can’t accept it…”

BOOM.

A bolt of lightning landed in front of Fangzheng as he hurriedly changed the topic. “Alright, that’s all for today’s lesson. Do whatever you need to do. I’m going to continue making Frost Bamboo Armor.”

Monkey nodded and left in satisfaction.

Three days pa.s.sed. Everything remained calm until the tea festival!

The tea festival was originally set up in Spring City, but due to the machinations of Song Ming and the others, it was moved to Songwu County.

This was a huge gift that Song Ming and the others had given Songwu County. It could be considered as a form of grat.i.tude towards Fangzheng.

At the same time, someone gave Fangzheng an invitation letter. Fangzheng looked at the invitation letter in his hand and shook his head. “Forget it…”

“Master, if you don’t go, can we go?” Red Boy suddenly asked.

Salted Fish also looked pitifully at Fangzheng.

Squirrel squatted on Fangzheng’s thigh and pressed his palms together. His eyes widened as tiny stars nearly flew…

Fangzheng thought about it when he saw the little fellows. It seemed like Salted Fish and Squirrel had not gone down the mountain for a long time.

It was indeed not good to always coop himself up on the mountain.

Therefore, Fangzheng put down the work in his hand and said, “Alright. Since everyone wants to go, I’ll bring you there. Jingfa, are you going?”

Lone Wolf yawned and shook his head decisively. “No.”

Monkey added, “I’ll stay behind to guard the monastery. I’m not interested in the bustle.”

Fangzheng nodded. “Alright. Stay. The rest of you, follow me.”

With that said, Fangzheng waved his hand and led his disciples down the mountain.

The compet.i.tion was at night, and it was already evening when Fangzheng went down the mountain. As a stingy master, Fangzheng definitely couldn’t bear to pay the transportation fee. Therefore Red Boy became a free plane.

However, Red Boy was already accustomed to this. Furthermore, he was more than happy to do it since they were going to have fun.

It was unknown if Song Ming and the others were doing it on purpose or if j.a.pan’s Hiei Group was doing it on purpose, but there were especially many reporters today.

Originally, it was just a compet.i.tion of tea leaves; the impact was not as great as one would imagine it to be. It didn’t cause as much of a stir like the Frost Bamboo tea; yet, there were many domestic and international reporters. They pointed their cameras at the Third County Middle School’s field.

That’s right. The compet.i.tion was held outdoors instead of indoors.

This was because Songwu County didn’t have a suitable place that was large enough for the compet.i.tion, so they could only hold it at a school.

Regarding this decision, the students of the school clapped and cheered because they could finally not attend evening cla.s.ses…

There were also many people who had come today. Tea merchants, tea farms, and tea-brewing experts from all across the world gathered here.

In addition, the people who had come up the mountain to ask for the tea had also invited their friends over to try some Frost Bamboo tea.

If they couldn’t drink it, just smelling it would do…

Quickly, more and more people gathered on the field. Many chairs were added. Qi Dongsheng personally took charge of the venue and directed the entire situation. He sharply realized that this match might have a huge impact! Therefore, he did his best to ensure that this match would go on normally. The police and armed police came to help maintain order.

Even so, because it was the first time that such a large-scale compet.i.tion was held, and because it happened last minute, the scene was chaotic.

When County Head Qi saw this scene, he scratched his scalp and grumbled, “If I knew this would happen, I would have sold the tickets. I would have been able to control the number of people entering. This is a mess. Who knows how many people are here…”

Just as he was grumbling, County Head Qi suddenly shouted, “Captain w.a.n.g, go over there and take a look. Don’t let them climb the walls! It’s dangerous! Also, why are there people on the trees? The windows there! Right, don’t let too many people stand on the balconies…”

However, there were people who appeared very calm. They were the partic.i.p.ants in the compet.i.tion like Song Ming and Is.h.i.+.

Is.h.i.+ believed that the Hiei family had a chance of winning, so he remained calm and had the time to point and make comments, “The Chinese lack manners.”

Song Ming’s composure naturally came from Frost Bamboo tea. When she returned, she was also a little worried about whether the Frost Bamboo tea could reach her standards. After brewing some and tasting it, everyone in the Song family was astonished! It was much better than their Seven-Inch Fragrance!

Therefore, Song Ming was confident of victory in this match. Upon hearing what Is.h.i.+ said, Song Ming said lightly, “What do you know? This is called keeping the people’s humble enthusiasm. It’s unlike you; all of you are like robots. Do you know anything else other than working and working overtime?”

Upon hearing this, Is.h.i.+ snorted coldly and said, “Don’t explain away manners. We’re professional!”

Song Ming shook her head and said, “If you lack the human emotion, say so. Why are you talking about professionalism? By the way, Is.h.i.+, do you know what it means to take care of your parents until their pa.s.sing? If I remember correctly, your estate seems to leave everything to be taken care of by property management, including the care for the elderly, right? I wonder why your father had you? Even in death, you never returned to take a look.”

Is.h.i.+ slapped the table and stood up angrily. “Song Ming!”

Song Ming spread out her hands and said, “Don’t be agitated, calm down. If I have said anything wrong, just tell me. However, I doubt I did, right? I forgot to tell you that even for the countryside, when elders in the family pa.s.s away, we’ll try our best to rush back to attend the funeral even if we are a thousand miles away or overseas. There’s only lateness, never nonattendance. Do you know what’s that? That’s called the human emotion! It’s filial piety!”

Is.h.i.+ clenched his fists tightly, his face ashen.

Song Ming continued, “Go ahead and refute me; I’m waiting.”

Is.h.i.+ tried to say something several times before finally letting out a cold snort and sitting down.

His father had pa.s.sed away while he was working overtime. He had failed to attend his funeral, and it was a knot in his heart. It was fine if this was in j.a.pan. Many people did so, and no one would say a thing.

But now that he was here, to have it pointed out while already deeply influenced by Chinese culture, his heart ached…

Song Ming scoffed when she saw Is.h.i.+’s reaction. “At least you have a conscience. Let’s change the topic.”

Is.h.i.+ grunted and looked at Song Ming with less resentment.

At this moment, an old man walked over and said, “Hi there, the compet.i.tion can begin. Is it fine if we compete in the Way of Tea before the tea leaves?”

Facing this old man, be it the proud and arrogant Is.h.i.+ or the Song Ming, who came from a famous family, stood up and answered, “It’s fine by me.”

The elder nodded slightly. Someone had already brought a tea set over. The match was about to begin…

Meanwhile, on Songwu County’s streets, Fangzheng landed with Squirrel, Red Boy, and Salted Fish. They had originally planned on heading directly to school, but Fangzheng did not rush over after seeing that there was plenty of time. Instead, he brought his disciples with him and began strolling.
