Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 38: Farewell

Ever since the young master learned root carving from Tang Jie, he became obsessed with it.

Compared to Tang Jie, Wei Tianchong didn't like human forms much. He preferred carving flowers, birds, fish, and insects, and he produced all kinds of wondrous creations.

As the days went by, the flowerbed was slowly filled with his carvings. Every time a guest came and learned of the young master's works, they would sigh in wonder at his talent.

And whenever this happened, Tang Jie felt the sorrow of imminent unemployment.

His 'incompetence' in the arts had caused Tang Jie to give up on carving. If not for the little sprite, he would have stopped carving entirely.

At present, the greatest achievement Tang Jie had made in root carving was building a maze. This was a rather simple task: find a few blocks of wood, dig out seven or eight holes in them, and then pile them up in his room in a small mountain so that the little sprite could play around in them.

Tang Jie's root carving plan had utterly failed, but there was a benefit to it: Wei Tianchong's relationship with Tang Jie began to improve.

Ever since the horse-stabbing incident, Wei Tianchong's attitude toward Tang Jie had been lukewarm, and it wasn't because he was holding a grudge against Tang Jie. After falling from the borrowed horse in the day that one time, he no longer resented Tang Jie.

He just couldn't forget Tang Jie's cold gaze when killing the horse. Whenever he recalled that gaze, he couldn't help but shiver, and so he became subconsciously reluctant to get too close to Tang Jie.

And Tang Jie was going through the lady for the student spot, so he wasn't too interested in getting in Wei Tianchong's good graces. Thus, the two of them had maintained the ordinary relationship of a servant and his superior.

But after root carving, Wei Tianchong and Tang Jie began to grow closer.

Whenever Wei Tianchong received a gift, he would think about sharing some of it with Tang Jie.

This made the eyes of all the other servants of the estate
