“I wonder if you’re from the north or the south?” Hong San asked.

North.

South.

This division was very interesting.

Generally speaking, even if they met an old friend in a foreign country, they would only ask where he was from and if he ate salty or sweet food. They would not ask if he was from the north or south.

Unless… in the current Cathay, the southerners were against the northerners to a certain extent.

Moreover, it must be an intense confrontation at the political level.

However, this was not important.

Most importantly… why did Hong San ask this?

Kang De’s mind raced as he quickly thought of the most correct answer.

He said indifferently, “South? North? What’s the distinction?”

Since it was a political confrontation between the north and south, the regimes of the two sides would definitely seek unification and treat each other as an illegal fake dynasty. In that case, claiming that the north and south were unified and not divided was naturally the most politically correct answer.

Hong San was stunned for a moment before smiling, “You must be a big shot like my master.”

Kang De glanced at him. “You have a master too?”

Hong San still smiled, “Of course. Otherwise, where did this ability come from?”

Kang De sat at the side and looked at the scenery outside the window. He said indifferently, “Did your master teach you his ability and how to make a living in the Glory Sand Viscounty?”

These two sentences were already extremely mocking.

However, Hong San did not mind. He did not even look angry at all. He smiled and said, “Master did not teach us this. He only taught us skills and told us some old things about our hometown. Occasionally, he would get drunk and curse the heavens and earth. He would beat his chest and stomp his feet and cry loudly. His heart ached for the collapse and fall of the country…”

Kang De nodded and said, “He cares about his home country. Didn’t he teach you the principle of being subjects?”

Hong San shook his head and said, “He didn’t teach that. Master said that they lost their country and their home. What kind of bullsh*t logic is this? In the end, the country collapsed to this extent. It was a group of insects who misunderstood the principles of the Saint and changed the great school of thought into a laughable joke. These disciples of logic deserve to die cleanly…”

When he spoke of his master, a nostalgic expression flashed through his eyes. To be able to remember his master’s words in his mind, it seemed that he still respected his master.

Hong San continued, “Therefore, Master told us that he won’t teach us any logic. He only told us stories about the past of our country, the rise and fall of the dynasty, the stories of the Saints, and the small matters around us. He said that he won’t teach us logic, nor will he let us do anything. His only hope is that we can do what we want the most.”

Kang De was stunned. “Then you ran to the Glory Sand Viscounty to be a servant?”

Hong San said proudly, “How could it be that easy? I’ve also done many jobs. Being a mercenary was bitter and tiring, and I had to risk my life to be a guard. Rich families looked down on me. Those small nobles are too stingy. I was even targeted and bullied by those barbarian knights and guards who thought that I stole their limelight. It’s even harder to be a soldier, and farming is also tiring. After walking around, I discovered that it’s comfortable and easy to serve others.”

He explained his business plan, “At first, I went to a large theater to be a guard. Later on, the person in charge of the theater recruited me to be a waiter and specially serve the important figures in the private rooms on the second floor of the theater. At first, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to do it. Later on, I discovered that those nobles enjoy seeing us Easterners serve them and feel proud about it. I only need to dress up neatly and flatter them. They’ll be extremely happy and give double the tip…”

“At that time, I wondered why my barbarian colleagues who were also servants did not earn as much as me. Later on, I thought that it was because my identity as an Easterner was rare on the continent. It was rare, and those who were willing to serve others were even rarer. They should earn more. I understood this and inadvertently revealed that I knew martial arts. Good lord, those nobles all want to take me in as a servant…”

At this point, he seemed to be talking about the business he was most proud of, “But this is like doing business, right? Since so many people want to buy it, I’m not in a hurry to sell it. I have to sell myself for a good price. I can’t sell this large family because there are many things to do. I’ve heard from my master that even small families can’t do it. They’re petty and don’t have much money. After choosing, Lord Samuel was the most suitable…”

D*mn.

It was really amazing.

Kang De was dumbfounded.

He simply wanted to praise this guy.

How should he put it…

He had seen a large number of strange idiots on the Internet. The Internet had pulled people closer, and although he had seen all kinds of stupidity, he had never seen such a self-deprecating person.

Kang De was speechless.

He said, “If your master sees you like this, he’ll probably beat you up.”

Hong San’s face turned bitter, “That’s right. I earned some money and wanted to show my filial piety to him. Unexpectedly, he asked about my recent situation and immediately turned hostile. He even wanted to hit me and chased me out without any explanation. He said that there would be no disciple like me from now on and told me to get lost as far as possible…”

Kang De looked at his aggrieved expression and could not figure out if he was really crazy. He sighed, “Your master’s principles have also been misinterpreted by you.”

Hong San widened his eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Kang De frowned and said, “Your master taught you to do as you pleased, and you became a dog?”

Hong San widened his eyes, “What’s wrong with being a dog of a rich family? I’ve lived on the continent for many years and have seen all kinds of people. Most of them live worse than a dog of a noble family. Look, I won’t starve or freeze now. What’s wrong with pleasing my master and being rewarded?”

He could not help but start to show off his knowledge again, “In my opinion, when a person comes to be a dog, there’s really nothing for a dog to do. A dog is insensible and doesn’t understand words. Sometimes, it’s stubborn, sometimes stupid, and sometimes disobedient. However, people are different. He’s smart and knows when to please, when to shut up, and what to do and not to do…”

Kang De was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, “…F*ck.”

“Your reaction is the same as Master’s again.”

Hong San revealed an aggrieved expression, “I can’t figure it out no matter how I think about it. Master told me to live according to my heart. I listened to him. Why is he angry with me? I just feel that it’s very easy to live like this. I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. It’s comfortable. It’s better than licking blood and digging in the ground…”

It was really amazing.

Kang De could completely understand why Hong San’s master would fall out. If this was his disciple, he would also beat this idiot up. D*mn, what was this?

He looked at Hong San’s matter-of-fact and confident expression and wanted to beat him up.

However, hitting someone could not resolve any problem, and this guy would definitely not learn from this. He snorted and stood up, “Shut up…”

Hong San immediately shut his mouth and asked, “Master, do you want to rest?”

Kang De said, “Let’s go out and walk around.”

After hearing this fellow’s explanation, he felt a little dizzy.

Hong San immediately patted his chest and said, “I’m familiar with this place. Where do you want to go?”

Kang De paced around the house.

He originally wanted to tour this manor and familiarize himself with the terrain just in case. However, after seeing Hong San’s slave appearance today, it could be imagined how popular this Cathayan was in the manor. If he brought this person to stroll around the manor, even he would be sized up by subtle gazes. When he thought of this, he was especially unhappy.

He said, “Let’s walk around the town.”

Hong San was stunned, then advised, “Master, there’s nothing to see in the town. They’re all vulgar and lowly barbarians. They’re an eyesore. Why don’t…”

Kang De said indifferently, “I prefer to see vulgar and lowly barbarians. Let’s go.”

Hong San advised again, “It’s fine if it’s crude and lowly, but if there are any blind thieves and hooligans…”

Kang De turned around and smiled, “I offended Knight Glenn at the dock today. He looks like a vengeful person and will definitely think of a way to take revenge on me. In this manor, he doesn’t have much of a chance to attack, but in the chaotic town, he will definitely not be able to hold back. He will either find a hooligan to cause trouble or instigate some random person to disgust me. To be honest…”

He smiled and said, “What a coincidence. I have to think of a way to kill him too.”

Hong San’s eyes widened and he subconsciously took a step back.

Kang De said meaningfully, “Hong San, you’ll protect me, right?”
