Chapter 55
Zhao Jiangui doesn't understand where he actually went wrong. He hadn't said at all that Ji Han was only three years old, why does Ji Han think that?
He actually can't guess.
Zhao Jiangui arrives outside, in just one glance sees Hua Hufa standing under a tree, laughing at him.
Zhao Jiangui asks her, "Where did Xiao Lin go?"
He simply has a bellyful of questions, needing Xiao Lin to come tell him the answers.
Hua Hufa asks him in response, "How's Jiaozhu?"
Zhao Jiangui sighs a breath, "I don't get it."
Hua Hufa, "You don't get it?"
Zhao Jiangui says. "Your Jiaozhu is rather a bit too unpredictable."
Hua Hufa laughs hard.
Zhao Jiangui knits his brows and looks at her, "What are you laughing at?"
Hua Hufa, "I'm laughing at two little idiots."
Zhao Jiangui, "Little idiots?"
Hua Hufa, "Not only was Jiaozhu not angry, he was also very happy. Extremely happy."
Zhao Jiangui can't help but stare blankly.
What does this speech mean?
Hua Hufa says, "Zhao Gongzi, there is something, would you please still go speak with Jiaozhu."
Zhao Jiangui asks, "What matter?"
Hua Hufa, "The Eagle Hall's Wei Tangzhu* already arrived down the mountain awaiting Jiaozhu's summons."
Zhao Jiangui, "Is this precisely then that...Wei San'er?"
Hua Hufa smiles faintly and says, "I didn't think Zhao Gongzi also remembered. He's called Wei Qi. Iin the sect's seventy-two halls, he ranks third."
Zhao Jiangui, "So you call him Wei San'er."**
Hua Hufa nods.
Zhao Jiangui asks, "Ji Han is just inside, why don't you go tell him yourself?"
Hua Hufa, "Jiaozhu is in a temper right now, I don't dare go."
Zhao Jiangui is even more puzzled, "You had also just said..."
"That's toward you, not towards us." Hua Hufa winks at him, "I don't want to go in and get scolded."

*堂主/tángzhǔ - hall master
**三/sān - three (He ranks third so they refer to him by this ranking. I figured it was easiest to put this here where the text explains it.)
