Chapter 1311: Arrogant Master

Right on the heels of that, he said casually, “It’s useless to be envious. If you’re not your biological, you don’t have the fate.”

Xiahou Zheng clenched his fists.

Under Xiahou Qing’s presence, Su Xiaoxiao took Xiahou Yi’s pulse and performed acupuncture treatment.

Xiahou Yi also continued to be a terminally ill person and did not provoke Su Xiaoxiao.

“City Lord, that’s enough.”

Su Xiaoxiao said to Xiahou Qing, “Just continue to take your medicine according to the prescription given by Elder Qiu.”

Xiahou Qing felt relieved and said softly to Xiahou Yi, “Second Uncle, rest well. Elder Qiu has already gone to find medicine for you. When he comes back, you will definitely recover.”

Xiahou Yi ignored him and looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Xiahou Qing looked at Xiahou Yi and asked, “Second Uncle… do you have something to ask Physician Qin?”

Su Xiaoxiao felt like she was being targeted by a poisonous snake again.

Xiahou Yi tapped his fingertips on the armrest a few times.

Xiahou Qing said to Su Xiaoxiao, “My second uncle thanks you.”

He really knew how to put on an act!

Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile, “Second Grandfather is too polite. It’s my honor to treat you. Ah, but there’s something I want to remind you about. I’m from the Hundred Flowers Palace. The Hundred Flowers Palace has made too many enemies recently. I’m afraid that someone will deliberately tamper with Second Grandfather in order to frame the Hundred Flowers Palace. City Lord, you have to be careful.”

Block your escape route!

Let’s see how you can pretend to be sick and frame me!

Xiahou Qing felt that it made sense. “I’ll get someone to guard him strictly.”

Su Xiaoxiao reminded him “kindly”, “I’m afraid ordinary guards are not enough.”

Xiahou Qing nodded. “I’ll get the elders to take turns guarding.”

Xiahou Yi stared at Su Xiaoxiao with a deathly gaze.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.

Come on, jump up and hit me.

After coming out, Xiahou Qing saw that Ling Yun and Xiahou Zheng seemed to be talking. He asked Ling Yun, “What are you talking to your brother about?”

Ling Yun said coldly, “I don’t have a brother.”

Xiahou Qing was embarra.s.sed by his son again and his eyes darkened.

“Stay for lunch.”

“No.”

“You…”

Seeing that the way out he had given Ling Yun was completely crushed by Ling Yun, Xiahou Qing could not help but become even angrier. “Don’t think that you can disrespect your elders just because I dote on you!”

On Thousand Mountains Island, no one dared to speak to him like this!

Ling Yun chuckled. “You almost beat me to death in my mother’s womb. You really dote on me.”

Xiahou Qing choked.

Ling Yun said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Let’s go.”

“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao followed obediently.

Xiahou Qing was furious.

Every time he felt that his relationship with his son had improved, he would be angered to death by the other party.

What an unfilial son!

Xiahou Zheng smiled. “G.o.dfather, don’t take it to heart. Ling’er probably can’t accept his background for the time being. When he thinks it through in a while, he will understand your painstaking efforts. How can father and son have overnight grudges?”

Xiahou Qing sighed helplessly. “If he was half as sensible as you and Second Brother, I wouldn’t have a headache. You’re the eldest brother, so tolerate him more.”

Xiahou Zheng said respectfully, “What are you talking about, Foster Father? Ling’er is very good. Why do you need to be tolerant?”

These words pleased Xiahou Qing.

No matter how much Ling Yun angered him, he was still his biological son, the flesh and blood Yun Xi had left for him.

He could be annoyed with him, but he didn’t like others slandering him.

Thinking of the grievances Ling Yun had suffered today, he frowned and said, “Third Brother…”

Xiahou Zheng hurriedly said, “I didn’t discipline him well enough and allowed Third Brother to speak without thinking. If Third Brother has the chance to wake up, as his elder brother, I will definitely teach him a lesson.”

There was a chance to wake up…

This was telling Xiahou Qing how seriously Xiahou Yu was injured.

Xiahou Qing waved his hand. “Forget it. He has to be taught a lesson. Let him be careful with his words and actions in the future.”

He only said forget it and had no intention of reprimanding the Hundred Flowers Palace for being too harsh.

Xiahou Zheng cupped his hands and agreed. “Yes, Foster Father.”

Xiahou Qing was about to leave.

Xiahou Zheng said, “Foster Father, it’s almost lunchtime. I brought back a powerful chef from the Western Jin and asked him to make a few dishes for you.”

“There’s no need. I still have something on.”

With that, Xiahou Qing left.

Xiahou Zheng looked at his adoptive father’s departing figure with a complicated expression.

His trusted guard walked forward. “Eldest Young Master, is the City Lord a little… biased?”

Xiahou Zheng said coldly, “In the past, the four of us always fought hard to obtain Foster Father’s favor and love. Only now do I understand that some people can obtain these and more effortlessly.”

What Yun Lin could easily obtain was what they could not ask for.

What was even more infuriating was that Ling Yun looked indifferent.

How could they tolerate this?!

In the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her fingers and said innocently, “Ling Yun, do you want to see the City Lord?”

“No.”

Fifteen minutes later, Xiahou Qing saw Ling Yun again.

He was delighted, but his expression was calm. “Have you thought it through? Are you back for lunch?”

Ling Yun extended his hand. “The consultation fee.”

Xiahou Qing was speechless.

On the other side, Wei Ting, Su Mo, and Jing Yi arrived at the discovery site of yesterday’s incident—the backyard of the half-destroyed embroidery building.

In waiting for the compensation from the City Lord Manor, the lady boss got someone to cordon off the backyard and not let anyone touch it.

The event location was well protected, especially the three-foot-long pit.

Jing Yi said, “Wow.”

Su Mo looked at Wei Ting, who was squatting in the pit and fiddling with something. “Did you find any clues?”

“Yeah.”

Wei Ting pinched the clay with his fingertips and ground it. “Fortunately, the pit is deep enough and the clay below is wet enough. The soles of her shoes must be stained a lot.”

“Over there.” Su Mo pointed at an eave on his right.

There was a little dried clay there.

Wei Ting said, “Let’s go take a look.”

After finding a few roofs, Wei Ting made a new discovery. “She didn’t deliberately hide from Xiaoxiao. Or rather, hiding from Xiaoxiao wasn’t the only reason. There was another person here at that time. She was chasing her.”

Following the traces along the way, Wei Ting and the other two found a quiet alley.

There were mottled bloodstains scattered in the corner.

At this point, the traces of the Saintess disappeared.

However, Wei Ting discovered new footprints.

Jing Yi asked, “Was the Saintess injured?”

Wei Ting nodded. “Most likely.”

Su Mo said, “Her martial arts attainment is so high. Not many people can hurt her, right?”

Wei Ting a.n.a.lyzed, “There aren’t many. Even if she can’t win, it won’t be a problem for the Saintess to retreat unscathed. Either something happened to the Saintess’s body, or the other party’s martial arts are far above hers, such as Jiang Guanchao and the elders of the City Lord Manor. However, Jiang Guanchao left the island to capture Lou Bufan, and the elders have no grudges with the Saintess.”

Su Mo agreed. “Looks like something happened to her. We have to find her as soon as possible.”

Fortunately, Wei Ting’s brain was really good.

An hour later, he found a brothel according to the clues along the way.

The corners of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched. “Why is it a brothel again?”
