Chapter 1198: Fatherly Love
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the small garden, Wei Ting had just bandaged the last injured disciple of the Fire Slaughter Sect when he suddenly sneezed!
At this moment, he had yet to realize the seriousness of the problem and thought that his nose was itching.
He had no idea that he was itching for a beating.
Xing’er carried a food box and walked over with sweat all over her face. “Miss, Young Master, Sect Master Lu, are you hungry? Eat something first.”
Last night, she and Nanny were placed in another secret room by Ling Yin. As soon as the fight ended, the two of them went to the kitchen.
Lu Aotian looked at his brothers around him.
Xing’er understood and hurriedly said, “There’s enough for everyone. Sect Master Lu, don’t worry.”
She and Nanny had made many meat buns and even made sweet red bean soup.
Thousand Mountains Island was surrounded by the sea. There were many fish and shrimp, and the price of seafood was cheap. On the other hand, the price of meat was high. Ordinary people could not afford it.
As for the Hundred Flowers Palace, not only did they own ten thousand acres of flower fields, but they also had their own livestock ranch. No one else could afford it. It was a run of the mill, par for the course in the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Lu Aotian watched as his disciples ran over with large food boxes to distribute to his brothers. Only then did he look into Xing’er’s food box in peace.
“Soon. Sect Master Lu, come and sit first!”
Xing’er placed the food box on the stone table in the middle of the garden and untied the mat she had tied to her body to spread it for her lady.
Su Xiaoxiao sat down with Wei Ting, Jing Yi, and Lu Aotian.
Xing’er opened the food box and took out a few clean wet cloth towels from the top drawer, handing them to wipe their hands.
Lu Aotian was a rough man and had never been so meticulous. He looked at the three of them and awkwardly wiped his hands before wringing the towel.
“Ahem.”
He cleared his throat.
Xing’er smiled and brought out the second tray of meat buns and the third tray of red bean soup.
Lu Aotian continued to look in. “Is that all?”
Xing’er asked curiously, “What do you want to eat, Sect Master Lu?”
Lu Aotian said aggrievedly, “Sugar buns.”
Xing’er took out an oil paper bag from her wide sleeve. “Just sugar buns. Don’t you want sugar beans?” Lu Aotian’s eyes widened!
Sugar beans!
Lu Aotian took the candy and stuffed it into his arms.
He had worked all night for this. No one was allowed to s.n.a.t.c.h it from him!
Xing’er burst out laughing.
Lu Aotian pointed at the meat buns and red bean soup on the table and said, “Eat, eat, eat, eat!”
The few of them were indeed hungry after a tired night.
Wei Ting and Jing Yi picked up a big meat bun at the same time and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked.
Xing’er picked up the bun in the middle and said, “Miss eats differently from you! Less salt and less oil. This bun belongs to Miss!”
Su Xiaoxiao quietly decided to give Xing’er more monthly money later!
“Thank you for what happened today, Sect Master Lu, ” Wei Ting said. Lu Aotian waved his hand. “It’s a small matter!”
Wei Ting asked, “Speaking of which, how did Sect Master Lu know that the
Hundred Flowers Palace was in trouble?”
Lu Aotian told her about meeting Chu Feifeng on the way.
“That place is the only way to the Fire Slaughter Sect. I guessed that she was here for me, but she fainted. I couldn’t ask anything else, so I wanted to send you a letter. Unexpectedly, just as I arrived at the foot of the Hundred Flowers Mountain, I saw a few large sects coming towards the Hundred Flowers Palace.
It’s the middle of the night. I didn’t have to ask to know that they had ill intentions.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is Sister-in-law seriously injured?”
Lu Aotian said, “Girl, don’t worry. I’ve already invited a physician. The physician said that her life is not in danger.”
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting’s expressions softened.
“To be honest, don’t thank me. Thank your sister-in-law. She risked her life to send you news and was discovered by the Heavenly Jade Hall.”
After Lu Aotian finished speaking, he took a sip of the sweet red bean soup. It was so delicious that his entire body trembled!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “There’s no one from the Heavenly Jade Hall among the seven sects that came to attack us tonight.”
Wei Ting thought for a moment and said, “The seven great sects came later.
Previously, a group of men in black went straight to the Flying Cloud Palace. They don’t seem to be here for Mother.”
Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. “They want to s.n.a.t.c.h Xiaobao! That’s what Sister-in-law wanted to warn us about. I just didn’t expect that by a freak combination of factors, Sect Master Lu, who came to deliver the news, would b.u.mp into the scheme of the seven major sects.”
Jing Yi asked, “Why did the people from Heavenly Jade Hall want to capture Xiaobao?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The Hall Master of the Heavenly Jade Hall is Madam Ru’s biological brother. Madam Ru probably can’t bear to replace her ‘daughter’, so she wants her biological brother to steal her ‘daughter’ back.”
Jing Yi frowned.
Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “I have to find an opportunity to deal with Madam Ru. Also, these seven sects are strange. Someone must be instigating them.”
Wei Ting vaguely had a guess.
Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao said, “However, how did Dad find the
Hundred Flowers Palace?”
Wei Ting said, “He followed the Fire Slaughter Sect here.”
Lu Aotian exploded. “Grandpa! Am I being followed? Why didn’t I know?!”
Wei Ting, “If he let you know, he wouldn’t be able to make a living.”
Wei Ting guessed that his father did not target Lu Aotian from the beginning.
After all, when his father set off for Thousand Mountain Island, Lu Aotian was still imprisoned in the Protector Duke’s Estate.
The most likely possibility was that his father had b.u.mped into Lu Aotian and felt that it was suspicious, so he followed him all the way. Su Xiaoxiao said, “Go see Sister-in-law later and bring her over.”
The father and son said in unison, “Okay.”
Wei Ting glanced at his unfilial son. “My sister-in-law.”
Jing Yi snorted.
After breakfast, Wei Ting sent Su Xiaoxiao back to her room to rest. Then, he planned to go back with the Fire Slaughter Sect.
However, just as he left the house, he was stopped by Wei Xu.
Wei Xu had a murderous expression and clenched his fists.
Wei Ting had an ominous feeling. “Dad… you haven’t rested yet?”
He glanced at the empty s.p.a.ce in Wei Xu’s arms. “Have you handed the child to Ling Yin?”
Wei Xu clenched his fists and said, “You still have the cheek to mention the child! Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu.’
Wei Ting’s heart skipped a beat.
He finally remembered what he had forgotten. Three brats!
The three little ones came out.
Dahu was carrying Wei Xiaobao. “Grandpa, Sister is asleep!”
Wei Ting’s body trembled!
d.a.m.n brats! Do you know that you sold your father!
Wei Ting’s expression turned serious. “Dad, I can explain…”
Wei Xu said softly, “Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, bring your sister back to the room first.”
The three little ones obediently brought their sister back to the house.
Wei Ting said, “Dad, I can really explain… Dad! Dad… Dad, Dad…’
Wei Ting was pulled to the furthest room at the west end by his father.
“Howl—”
“Yiya—”
Lu Aotian and Jing Yi stood in the courtyard and heard someone scream from the room.
Lu Aotian felt pain when he heard that. His entire body trembled as he clicked his tongue. “Too tragic, too tragic…”
Jing Yi added, “Sect Master Lu, you’ll get used to it.” Lu Aotian was speechless.
In the end, Wei Ting could not pick up Sister-in-law.
It was Jing Yi and Lu Aotian who went.
A certain someone lay in the corner of the wall soullessly and complained aggrievedly, “Dad, am I still your most beloved Little Seven?”
Wei Xu staggered!
