It was already dark by the time Su Ying got home. She knocked on the gate, and Cheng Ming answered it.

“Mistress, you’re back.”

Su Ying nodded. “I’ve brought the seeds back. Take a look and see if there’s any problem.”

As soon as Cheng Ming heard that the seeds had arrived, he quickly called out to Number One and the others to unload the seeds from the carriage. Thereafter, they went to check on the seeds sack by sack under the candlelight.

After checking, Cheng Ming said excitedly, “These seeds look fine. We can plant some tomorrow sequentially.”

“1’11 leave the matters in the field to you then.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

…..

Su Ying walked into the hall, but there was no one there. She was a little puzzled. Usually, the children and Xiao Jin would be waiting in the hall for dinner at this hour.

Su Ying went up to the second floor and saw the three children sitting obediently at the desk, listening to Chu Yun’s lecture. No one even noticed Su Ying standing outside the window.

Children at the age of three to four were supposed to be the most restless and energetic, but ever since Xiao Jin told them that Su Ying would not leave as long as they knew more words than Chu Yun, the children would sit on the stools and listen to the lesson quietly even if they could not quite bear it.

Su Ying felt a stirring in her heart, and her chest felt bloated. She frowned and suppressed the heartache that was welling up. She turned around and went downstairs, only to see Xiao Jin sitting cross-legged in the side room, circulating his aura.

She did not know why, but she suddenly thought of what Aunt Zhao said.

“Mistress, this man needs to be placated just like a child. If you placate Master a little, he will definitely not argue with you on everything.”

Fine. She would try placating him then.

Su Ying walked into the room and sat down on a chair.

Xiao Jin heard the movement and slowly withdrew his aura before opening both his eyes.

Su Ying took out a kraft paper bag and opened it when she saw him looking at her. There was a large piece of date-paste cake inside. She had gotten it from Tiger Might.

“It’s the date paste cake that you like.”

Xiao Jin looked at her but didn’t move.

Su Ying seemed to have thought of something and stood up suddenly. She took the date-paste cake, walked to the bed, and handed it to him. “Take it.”

Xiao Jin looked at the somewhat awkward expression on Su Ying’s face, and a trace of a smile quickly flashed across his dark eyes. “You brought this back especially for me?”

Su Ying nodded. If she remembered correctly, he liked to eat this.

Xiao Jin lowered his eyes and took a bite of the date-paste cake in her hand.

The cake was a little dry and no longer as fresh, but Xiao Jin found it delicious. It had never tasted so sweet before.

Xiao Jin took a bite, and the rich aroma of the date paste wafted out. Su Ying subconsciously swallowed her saliva. She wanted to eat it too, but since she said it was for Xiao Jin, she wouldn’t fight with him for it.

Furthermore, she could clearly feel that after Xiao Jin ate the date-paste cake, the sense of depression in his body dissipated a lot.

It seemed that Aunt Zhao had a lot of experience. She was even very skilled in placating men!

Not surprisingly, Xiao Jin noticed the change in Su Ying. He took two bites and stopped moving. “It’s time to eat dinner soon. Have to leave some s.p.a.ce in my tummy.”

Su Ying looked at the cake which only had two bites taken out of it and frowned. “You’re not eating anymore?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Su Ying opened her mouth and took a bite of the cake. “It’ll be a waste if you don’t eat it. To think that I specially brought it back for you.”

Su Ying finished the date-paste cake in just a few bites.

Xiao Jin looked at the crumbs stuck on her lips and his throat quivered a little. He reached out and wiped them off for her so naturally that even Su Ying didn’t notice anything strange.

“Where did you go today?”

Su Ying got up to pour a gla.s.s of water and swallowed the cake that was still in her throat before saying, “I went to get the seeds.”

“You went to the Azure Dragon Base?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Xiao Jin frowned slightly. He didn’t need to think to know how she had gotten those seeds back.

“Didn’t we agree that we can’t act rashly before we have a clear understanding of the situation?”

“Qiao Yang went with his men and got hung on the gate. I don’t want my stuff to be taken away so easily by others.”

“How is the Azure Dragon Base compared to the Tiger Base?”

Su Ying rotated the cup in her hand and thought about the situation in the Azure Dragon Base. She was silent for quite a while before she said, “Tiger Might said that the group of people who established the Azure Dragon Base were deserters.” If they were deserters, it meant those people had received strict training in the regular army, so they were naturally different from ordinary people.

When she had fought with the guards, she could clearly feel that many of their moves were similar. This meant that they had received training on a regular basis. Judging from the overall strength of the Tiger Base, they would definitely not be able to defeat the Azure Dragon Base if these two sides were to fight.

“The Azure Dragon Base is more disciplined. 1 don’t know about the ordinary people in the base camp, but the ability of their armed forces is definitely stronger than those in the Tiger Base. 1 got my stuff back and took a few of their lives. As for what they will do next, let’s just wait and see.”

“Mm-hmm.”

In order to prevent the Azure Dragon Base from launching a surprise attack at night, Su Ying had Jiang Yang and the others stand guard at the four corners of the house compound, just in case.

The next day, just as the sky started to brighten, Tiger Might was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps.

He opened his eyes and saw his subordinate running up to him in a panic. “Leader, some people from the Azure Dragon Base are here. They say that they have something to discuss with you.”

Tiger Might’s eyes darkened at once. His wound was still vaguely painful and it was a constant reminder to him of the viciousness of Azure Dragon Base. This group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds had actually dared to come to his territory.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting rang out from downstairs. Tiger Might forced himself to stand up and go to the railing. He saw Wei Kun leading a group of people fighting with his own men. “Wei Kun, how dare you break into my Tiger Base. I think you must be tired of living!”

Wei Kun raised his hand, and the people he brought all stopped what they were doing. He raised his head and looked at Tiger Might with a smile. He said loudly, “Leader Qiao, don’t be angry. I’m here today to apologize to you. Leader Qiao, why don’t you invite me up for a cup of tea?”

liger Might looked at Wei Kun icily. He had come into contact with this fellow before. He was a malicious hypocrite. The concealed weapon that hurt him came from this guy. Tiger Might didn’t know what Wei Kun was planning in his mind today, but he thought there was no harm in letting him come up and see what he was going to do.

“You can come up alone,” Tiger Might said.

Wei Kun motioned for his people to leave.

Then, Li Yong came over and led Wei Kun to the second floor.

Tiger Might had already sat down on the chair. He tried his best to straighten his back so that he didn’t look like a person who was seriously injured.

Wei Kun looked at him with silent mockery and then sat down on the chair opposite him.

“What are you doing here? Don’t waste my time with nonsense,” Tiger Might was the first to speak.

Wei Kun took out a cloth pouch and placed it on the table. Then, he opened the cloth pouch. “Our leader has taken a fancy to the woman who came to the Azure Dragon Base yesterday. These gold pieces and the things in the carriage below are all yours. That woman comes with us.”

Tiger Might looked at the gold on the table and was stunned for a moment. When he raised his eyes again, he looked at Wei Kun as if he was looking at a fool.

“You mean you want to buy Su Ying with these things?”

“If it’s not enough, you can state your price.” Wei Kun a.s.sumed Tiger Might thought his offer was too little.

“Hahahahaha!” Tiger Might suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly. “Wei Kun, Wei Kun, you guys are too full of yourself.. Who do you think she is? Do you think you can obtain her with just a few pieces of rotten gold? You are simply having a fool’s dream!”
