Chapter 2636: Fooled the Young Master

This damned Lin Kong, just because he has lost his martial arts skills, don’t think he’s incapable of catching it. He’s such a cunning person. To control Xiao Jiu, he even made a fork from a branch. As long as he puts a small stone on it, even if Xiao Jiu flies to the sky, he can shoot it down.

So, after Xiao Qiu was untied from the grass rope, he didn’t escape immediately for this reason. He was waiting for the right moment, and now that the opportunity has arisen, it would be strange if he doesn’t run!

After eating his fill, Lin Kong lay sprawled out on the ground, rubbing his round belly: "Ah, after being hungry for so many days, I’ve finally eaten enough today."

After a while, he asked, "Xiao Jiu, are you full yet?"

"...!"

The surroundings were dead silent.

Lin Kong shuddered and jumped up, shouting loudly: "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu!"

Still no sound.

Lin Kong collapsed to the ground. He had been too careless and was tricked by that little bird. It must have escaped.

Thinking that the old man knew Long Rui and Xuexue and just now was so fond of Xiao Jiu, could Xiao Jiu have gone back to find him?

Lin Kong couldn’t worry about so much, so he hurried back to the City God Temple to see if Xiao Jiu had gone back to find the old man.

The old man and the young man had packed their bags and were about to head out when they ran into Lin Kong rushing back.

Old man: "Hey, young man, why are you in such a hurry? What’s happened?"

Lin Kong, panting and a bit angry, questioned in a tone of accusation: "S-say less nonsense. I-I ask you... did you kidnap the little bird?"

The old man looked bewildered: "What happened? The bird is missing?"

Lin Kong: "Stop pretending, hand it over quickly."

The old man was also unhappy: "Young man, can we be reasonable? You just went out with that bird, and now it’s gone. Why are you asking me instead? Don’t you know how it got lost?"

Of course, Lin Kong knew Xiao Jiu had escaped, but he couldn’t admit it! That would be too embarrassing.

"It... it must have been lured away by your beef jerky. You weren’t up to any good giving it meat earlier."

"Hey, why are you being unreasonable?"

"Today, I, the young master, will be unreasonable. If you know what’s good for you, hand it over immediately."

"What? Do you want to fight, young man?"

"...!"

Talking about fighting made Lin Kong feel guilty. What could he fight with now? His martial skills were gone, and he wasn’t even as good as an ordinary person.

"I-I, a young master, am a gentleman and scorn to lay hands on you!" As the saying goes, don’t lose the battle even if you lose the person. Even if he’s cowardly, he can’t admit it – that’s Lin Kong’s basic principle in life.

The young man saw that Lin Kong didn’t dare to fight, so he said to the old man: "Old master, let’s go, ignore him."

The old man glanced at Lin Kong, nodded, and turned to leave.

Lin Kong watched them leave with his eyes wide open, not daring to stop them. After all, in his current state, he’d be lucky if they didn’t beat him up. How dare he provoke them?

"Damn stinky bird, how dare you deceive me? Next time I catch it, I’ll lock it up with a three-layer iron chain and see how it runs!" Lin Kong was close to exploding with anger, having been tricked by a bird.

Speaking of this, he sat on the ground, feeling something at his waist. Looking down, it turned out to be the wooden fork used to threaten Xiao Jiu.

He picked it up and tossed it aside. The bird had escaped, so what good was holding on to it?

After eating and drinking, Lin Kong lay on the ground and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, he suddenly jumped up, shouting: "Not good, that stinky bird has escaped, and it will surely inform Long Rui, so won’t I be in danger? No, this place isn’t safe; I must escape quickly."
