As soon as Gu Shan's words fell, Person A and Person B knelt on the ground again and said in unison, "Please, master, bestow names on us."
Seeing the two kneeling on the ground again, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but feel toothache. With her little education, most importantly, she was also bad at giving names. What nice names could she possibly give them!
"I'm not good at naming either! Why don't you two be called Little..."
"Wait!"
Before Lin Zaozao could finish, Xiao Taohua immediately interrupted.
"What's the matter, Xiao Taohua?"
Lin Zaozao asked puzzledly turning her head.
"Zaozao, I'm now called Xiao Taohua, the National Master is called Little Xibei, the Fifth Young Master is called Xiao Liuli. What do you want to call them with the prefix 'Little'?"
Hearing Xiao Taohua's questioning, Lin Zaozao smiled at her somewhat awkwardly.
Damn, she really couldn't name people! Now letting her give names to two grown men, what good names could she possibly come up with!
Since she couldn't use the prefix "Little", she would just give them domineering names. So Zaozao cleared her throat and said to Person A and Person B kneeling on the ground:
"From today onwards, you two shall be called Matchless and Invincible, the most formidable of all under heaven! It means you two are the most powerful in the world, how about it? Does it sound good and domineering?"
Hearing Lin Zaozao's proud voice, Person A and Person B instantly lowered their heads, not even daring to answer.
With those around their new master, how could they dare call themselves Matchless and Invincible! If they did, forget about the big mountain beside their master, their former master Gu Shan could slap them to death with one palm.
Seeing Person A and Person B trembling with fear, Lin Zaozao squatted in front of them and asked puzzledly:
"Don't you like the names? If not, I can change them."
"Zaozao has given you names, you should thank her."
As soon as Gu Shan's words fell, Person A and Person B said in unison:
"Thank you for the names, Master."
"Stop thanking me, stand up. I really can't get used to you two kneeling all the time."
With Xiao Xibei's help, Lin Zaozao also stood up after Person A and Person B did.
Now looking at Matchless and Invincible, she somehow didn't feel they were that cold anymore.
"Matchless and Invincible, with such domineering names, we can scare our enemies to death by just reporting our names when we go out and run into opponents. Don't you think so?"
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing the uniform responses, Lin Zaozao was not discouraged and continued asking:
"Matchless, Invincible, can you take off the masks on your faces? Take them off if you can, keep them on if you can't."
"Matchless, Invincible, you are no longer my subordinates. You can take off the things on your faces. After taking off the masks, you will have nothing to do with your past. Follow Zaozao closely and protect her well. As long as she is safe, your future lives will be smooth sailing."
Right after Gu Shan finished, Matchless and Invincible hesitated for a moment before taking off the masks on their faces.
When they removed the masks, Lin Zaozao's eyes instantly widened.
She turned to Gu Shan and said in shock:
"Gu Shan, are they even fifteen? They look so young! Would I break the law by hiring child labor?!"
"Zaozao, they are adults. And they are even a few years older than you." Gu Shan said coldly.
"Alright, Zaozao, let's not worry about your Matchless and Invincible. We have specially prepared a table full of food and wine for you to sit down and have a nice chat."
Hearing Ji Fantian's words, Lin Zaozao immediately nodded.
As soon as Lin Zaozao walked up to Ji Fantian, Matchless and Invincible instantly disappeared from their spots.
Lin Zaozao took a glance - awesome!
If Matchless and Invincible played hide and seek, no one would be able to catch them.
Arriving at the dining room, seeing a full table of dishes and the barely upheld smiles on Ji Fantian, Murong Hai and the others' faces, Lin Zaozao suddenly had an ominous feeling.
"You've prepared such a big table of dishes, don't tell me you've got something to say to me!"
Indeed, as soon as Lin Zaozao's words fell, the faces of Gu Shan, Ji Fantian and the others instantly turned ugly.
"If you've got something to say, just spit it out directly! Don't beat around the bush."
Lin Zaozao said coldly.
"Zaozao, there has been a change of plan. We have to leave tomorrow."
Ye Yi said hoarsely with emphasis on every word.
"Leaving tomorrow? What about your health? You haven't fully recovered yet. With poor odds to start with, going back now is seeking death!"
"Zaozao, we can control the poison in our bodies now. Purging all poison is just a matter of time. Also, the journey back is long. By the time we return, we would have fully recovered."
Ji Fantian's words choked back what Lin Zaozao was about to say. She could only purse her lips and stand there.
"Come, Zaozao, we've prepared so much food and wine today, let's have a good meal."
Seeing the purse-lipped silent Lin Zaozao, Murong Hai directly pulled her down to sit.
After Lin Zaozao sat down, everyone else also took their seats, except the passed out Xiao Liuli.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly depressing after they started eating.
Lin Zaozao drank two glasses of wine. Feeling that the alcohol level was not high, she downed a few more glasses in succession.
"Zaozao, stop drinking. Drinking too much harms your health."
Nodding at Gu Shan's words, Lin Zaozao met Gu Shan's serious gaze and still put down the wine glass in her hand.
However, after a short while, Lin Zaozao could no longer stand the heavy atmosphere at the table. They would only be gone for months! It wasn't as if Gu Shan and the others definitely wouldn't come back.
Thinking of this, Lin Zaozao directly stood up from her chair and stepped onto the bench. Holding up a wine glass, she shouted loudly:
"Come come come! Everyone, this gloomy parting atmosphere really isn't great. Let's play a game of ‘I Have You Don't’ to lighten things up."
