413 The Pot Calling the Kettle Black
Huayan Peak was their main base. However, it was extremely hot and lacked resources. It was also challenging to deliver supplies there. Hence, it was unquestionably a god-forsaken place!
He was occasionally dispatched there to deliver supplies but to leave him there… He couldn’t do it!
“Why can’t you just say what you want to say? Why do you have to be sarcastic?”
No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that Yan Shen’s remark was sarcastic. However, he did not understand what he had done wrong.
“Hey, you’ve grown capable.”
Yan Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Jin with an exaggerated expression.
“You actually knew I was being sarcastic? Not bad!”
“You—”
Yan Jin almost died of anger!
Yan Shen explained unhappily, “Since you know I’m being sarcastic, don’t you know that Master bought the materials to make a lotus lantern for Mistr… Miss An? They are going to release the lotus lanterns together!”
“So what?” Yan Jin asked instinctively.
Yan Shen was speechless.
So what? What what? If you want to do something for your loved one, you have to do it personally, right?
He sized up Yan Jin and remarked faintly, “No wonder you’re still single. You’re really big-hearted.”
Yan Jin was shocked.
What’s with this personal attack?
So what if I’m single? It’s because I don’t have a lady I’m interested in. Go and ask around. There are so many ladies waiting in line to marry me. I just don’t care!
“Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, Yan Shen! I’m single, but aren’t you too?” he shouted at Yan Shen.
“Forget it. I can’t be bothered to talk to you anymore.”
Yan Shen could not be bothered to talk to him anymore. He had said so much, but Yan Jin did not understand the main point. What else could he do?
“The supply list is here. I have to prepare something. Are you coming?”
“Yes, of course.”
Yan Jin did not hesitate to organize the supplies to be sent to Huayan Peak.
If they did not deliver the supplies, the people at Huayan Peak would starve to death!
…
Qian Jiyun returned to the courtyard and saw the two boys making lotus lanterns. He then looked at Qian Yiyun, who was praising them non-stop.
He frowned and could not help but dislike his sister.
“Yiyun, Yan Jin and the others have something to do. Go and settle it together,” he said to Qian Yiyun as he put down the things in his hand.
“Huh?” Qian Yiyun turned around and was stunned.
When did Brother ever ask me to work with Yan Jin and the others? Never! Not even when I begged.
“Big Brother, are you serious?” she asked excitedly.
Is Brother finally allowing me to get involved in big matters at home? As expected, he’ll trust me more after I gain more experience.
She had no idea that her brother was sending her away because he thought she was too much of a hindrance.
Qian Jiyun nodded seriously and said gently, “Go on. Yan Jin and the others are leaving soon.”
“Alright, I’ll go now.”
Qian Yiyun stood up impatiently and got ready to leave.
“Aunt Yiyun, are you not making lotus lanterns anymore?” Qian Yizheng looked up at Qian Yiyun, who was about to leave.
