Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1463

Xiao Jinghai's words confirmed this, especially since the White Lotus Daoist had just left.

This is the moment when Xiao Jinghai is most vigilant, and Master Zheng will not do anything that would arouse suspicion at this time.

After a few hours, Xiao Jinghai lowered his guard, and only then could he think of a way to send the message out.

Master Zheng knew very well that the conversation that had just taken place in the room had been transmitted through this inconspicuous object in his hand.

But what he wanted to say was not just what had just happened, but also the details he had seen.

As for who the person on the other side of this thing was, although Wei Wu didn't tell him explicitly, he could guess that it was either Shen Lin or Zhang Hai.

He stuffed the buttons back into his clothes, then picked up his own clothes and struggled to put them on.

His disability in both legs prevented him from moving quickly, and by the time he finished dressing, he was already covered in sweat.

Meanwhile, about an incense stick's worth of time had passed.

After dressing properly, Master Zheng did not delay and immediately addressed the people outside the room:

"Mr. Xiao, I'm all dressed and ready to rest. Would you like to come in and keep watch, or would you like to find another room to rest in?"

As soon as Master Zheng's voice came out, Xiao Jinghai's response rang out from outside the door.

"Of course I'm resting in my room. The Lord's orders are for me to stay by your side at all times."

Just as the sound rang out, the door to the room was pushed open again, and Xiao Jinghai strode in.

However, after entering the room, Xiao Jinghai did not go to Master Zheng's side, nor did he show any intention of helping him up.

He didn't even glance at Master Zheng. After closing the door, he turned and walked towards the bed.

Seeing this, Master Zheng immediately understood what the other party meant and quickly said:

"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by this? Even if you won't help me get up, you shouldn't be taking over my bed!"

"What, you can sleep in this bed but I can't?"

As soon as Master Zheng finished speaking, Xiao Jinghai immediately responded with dissatisfaction, then plopped down on the bed.

"Mmm~~~!"

After stretching and letting out a sound of enjoyment, Xiao Jinghai turned his head to look at Master Zheng.

"I was following the orders of the cult leader the other day, and I had to put myself in your place as a servant in order to avoid exposing my identity."

"When you sleep, not only do we have to serve you, but we also have to stay in that little room next door, waiting for your call at any time."

"But I'm not your servant now. Since there's a bed in the room, of course I'll sleep on it!"

As he spoke, Xiao Jinghai fell backward onto the bed, letting out another groan of pleasure.

"Damn it, no wonder you betrayed the Holy Church, you bastard. The rich live a life where even their beds are more comfortable than mine."

"This blanket is so soft and feels so good, and this bed frame feels like I'm sinking into it. It's so unfair!"

Xiao Jinghai, who was initially enjoying himself, became increasingly angry as he spoke, and finally resorted to swearing and shouting that it was unfair.

However, what he didn't know was that money and power weren't the keys to unlocking the quality of life that Master Zheng was currently enjoying.

Many of the things he has were gifts from Wei Wu, mainly because he has difficulty walking and they wanted to make his life as comfortable as possible.

For example, the bed board that Xiao Jinghai mentioned, which was so thick that a person could sink into it, was actually a latex mattress that Wei Wu gave to Master Zheng.

Apart from Cao Cao, no one else in the world could produce this, especially since the Ming Dynasty had only recently started planting rubber trees.

So even if you're rich and powerful, you can't sleep on a latex mattress made of natural rubber like Master Zheng.

Just as Xiao Jinghai was enjoying the soft bed while ranting and raving, Master Zheng also spoke up.

“Mr. Xiao, since you want to sleep in the bed, then you can have this bed. I’ll go sleep in the small room next door.”

After saying this, Master Zheng stopped looking at Xiao Jinghai and, relying on his own hands, laboriously crawled towards the wheelchair.

However, he had only climbed less than half a meter when Xiao Jinghai's voice of rejection came from the side.

Did I say you could sleep in the small room?

As he spoke, Xiao Jinghai slowly sat up from the bed, turned his head, and looked at Master Zheng with disdain, saying:

"The cult leader said he would watch over you every step of the way. If he sends you to a small room, does that still mean he will watch over you every step of the way?"

Upon hearing Xiao Jinghai's words, Master Zheng, who had been choosing to back down all along, felt a surge of anger in his eyes and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Xiao, before the cult leader left, he instructed you not to make things difficult for me anymore. Are you going to disobey the cult leader's orders?"

"Have it?"

Xiao Jinghai was not intimidated by Zheng Shiye's words; instead, he looked at Zheng Shiye with an indifferent attitude.

After a pause, he extended his little finger, picking at his ear as he slowly said:

"If I remember correctly, the cult leader's exact words just now were that I must not attack you again, but he did not say that I must not make things difficult for you."

"Besides, am I making things difficult for you? I have strictly followed the leader's instructions and stayed by your side without leaving for a moment."

"This room is so big, why do you insist on sleeping in the small room when you can sleep anywhere else? It's not that I'm making things difficult for you, it's that you're making things difficult for me!"

Upon hearing this, Master Zheng felt helpless. He thought that if he could go to the small room, he could find an opportunity to pass on the message.

However, Xiao Jinghai deliberately caused him trouble.

They kept saying they were following the White Lotus Taoist's orders, but in reality they were just using a trivial matter as an excuse to make things difficult for him.

The problem is that nowadays, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Even if you know the other party is looking for trouble, you have no power to resist.

Left with no other choice, she simply stopped arguing with Xiao Jinghai and silently crawled toward her wheelchair.

Seeing that Master Zheng was ignoring him and was still crawling towards the wheelchair, Xiao Jinghai immediately stood up.

"What, you think my words have no effect? ​​The sect leader told me not to attack you, but you're courting death, so don't blame me!"

As he spoke, Xiao Jinghai's expression turned sinister again, as if he was about to make a move.

But Master Zheng wouldn't give him another chance to cause trouble, so before the other party could make a move, he immediately spoke up:

"Mr. Xiao, I didn't mean anything by it, I just want to go back to my wheelchair!"
