1762 A Master?

No one would believe that he wasn't a hidden master!

The senior gave a frown and cast Qiao Mu a sidelong look. "What are you child saying? This old man is just an ordinary beggar."

Qiao Mu naturally didn't buy it and gave a light harrumph.

Seeing that she was about to put away the jade gourd, the senior became anxious as he yammered, "Hey hey, what exactly do you child want to know. Just say it."

"Do you dare say that you didn't approach me for some purpose?" Qiao Mu questioned mildly.

The old senior immediately put on an innocent look and giggled, "What purpose could this old man have? This old man just got aroused by the scent of wine and ran over to ask you child for some wine."

The old beggar tried his hardest to put on a show of "please look at my sincere expression."

"Oh, is that so?" Qiao Mu couldn't help but scoff, "Stop pretending! You could see through my jade gourd at a glance, yet you dare say that you are not a master?"

The old senior hastily waved it off and explained, "No, no, you child are overthinking it."

After saying this, the old senior pulled over a chair and squeezed in next to Qiao Mu. He then gave in with a grin, "Fine, seeing as how you shared wine with this old man, this old man will give you something good. Don't you child think that this old man is a swindler."

Qiao Mu found it a bit funny on the inside, but she did not show it on the outside. The old senior was not able to make anything out from her little stoic face no matter how he tried.

In the end, the old senior could not help but feel gloomy. He was dissatisfied with her attitude and pressed, "Are you not the least bit curious at all?"

Shouldn't such a young little lady immediately show interest in this gift and ask what he was giving her?

Why was this little fellow not going according to the set routine?

A certain Qiaoqiao who did not get caught up in the old senior's pace blinked at the latter's quibble. "Then old grandpa, what do you want to give me?"

The old senior immediately beamed and laughed while slapping his thigh, "Aiya, that's right! Don't act sullen all day long when you're still a young girl."

Qiao Mu twitched her mouth, but she did not refute him.

"How about this, I'll let you see that good thing if you pour me two full bowls."

Ma Ta couldn't help but be disgruntled. "This old senior, you couldn't be thinking of swindling us of wine?"

"Don't you spout nonsense, lad. Is this old man that kind of person!!" The old senior glanced at him with flaring nostrils before turning to smile at Qiao Mu. "Little fellow, come, come, come. Fill it to the brim."

Qiao Mu found this old senior's behavior charmingly funny.

In reality, she hadn't planned to make things difficult for him from the start. She just wanted to tease this old senior.

She poured the senior a big bowl and saw him chug down a large mouthful.

Qiao Mu tilted her petite head. "Old Grandpa, I also have appetizers to go with this wine. Do you want some?"

The old senior's eyes instantly lit up. "Yes, yes, yes. You child really aren't considerate enough. You only thought of it after seeing this old man drink so much."

Everyone: "…"

This senior really made himself at home. He did not feel the least bit embarrassed from extorting a little lady.

With a wave of her hand, Qiao Mu took out a plate of spicy yellow croaker and held it in her arms. She then asked, "Old Grandpa, what good thing do you have?"
