Wei Liulang changed his shameless behavior and stood up. He quickly grabbed Baili Chen’s wrist.
“What’s this?”
He asked Baili Chen coldly.
Baili Chen had been in the Wei family for a few years, but Wei Liulang had never discovered this tattoo.
Firstly, Baili Chen did not easily expose his wrist. Secondly, this kind of pigeon blood tattoo would only appear after one circulated his energy or drank alcohol.
If Baili Chen had not used his movement technique to save him just now, he would probably never have noticed this secret.
“Nothing.”
Baili Chen retracted his hand and rolled down his sleeve.
“I don’t believe you!”
Wei Liulang reached out to grab it again.
Baili Chen’s figure flashed.
Wei Liulang raised his golden arm and was about to call out to Baili Chen.
Old Madam Wei poked the walking stick in her hand and scolded, ‘Wei Yan, what are you doing?”
Wei Liulang paused and glared at Baili Chen warily. He said to Matriarch Wei, “Grandmother! He has the tattoo of the Assassin Alliance on his wrist! He’s from the Assassin Alliance!”
His grandsons had mentioned Thousand Mountain Island to Matriarch Wei.
Old Madam Wei looked at Baili Chen.
Baili Chen said, “I’m not.”
Wei Liulang said coldly, “Then you must be related to the Assassin Alliance!”
Baili Chen said, “I’m not.”
With that, he turned around and returned to his courtyard.
“Stop right there!”
“Wei Yan!”
Wei Liulang wanted to chase after him to ask for an explanation, but he was stopped by his grandmother.
He frowned and said, “Grandmother, why are you stopping him? If he’s a spy of the Assassin Alliance, our family…”
“He’s not,” Matriarch Wei said firmly.
Wei Liulang looked at Matriarch Wei in confusion.
Old Madam Wei sighed. “Your second brother has long probed Baili Chen and seen his tattoo.”
“Really?”
Wei Liulang was stunned.
When did this happen?
Why didn’t he know?
Old Madam Wei said, “After you returned from the Southern Wilderness, your second brother investigated everyone in the residence, and an expert like Baili Chen would not be missed. His tattoo is not on his forearm, and his emblem is different. ”
With that said, Wei Liulang thought about it carefully. That did seem to be the case.
He was a little embarrassed.
Then, he pushed the responsibility to Second Brother and muttered bitterly,
“Why didn’t Second Brother tell me? Are we not brothers anymore?”
Old Madam Wei said earnestly, “He has never deliberately hidden anything, but he’s not willing to mention his past. Back then, your grandfather went out to sea and saved him from a drifting piece of driftwood. From then on, he followed your grandfather to the Great Zhou. He has no ill intentions towards the Wei family. If not for him, the Wei family would have been plotted against countless times over the years.”
The Wei family had been secretly hindered by many people.
Wei Liulang asked, “How old is he?”
Old Madam Wei said, “About your brother’s age.”
Wei Liulang asked, “I always thought he was about the same age as Third Brother.”
Old Madam Wei thought for a moment and said fairly, “He does look younger than your brother.”
Ghostfear, who had been despised by his biological grandmother for looking old, was speechless..
When Old Madam Wei saw her eldest grandson, she suddenly remembered something serious. “I let you cause trouble and almost forgot about it! The two of you, follow me and be punished according to the family rules!”
The four brothers spent an unbearable night.
The next day, they sat on the steps of the pavilion soullessly.
The faint light of dawn landed on their dark circles. In the hot summer, one could see the desolation of the harsh winter.
“Brother, did Ling Yun agree?”
Wei Liulang asked miserably.
He had been taught a lesson by his grandmother last night and couldn’t be bothered to ask about the outcome of his brother’s conversation with Ling Yun.
“I’m not sure.” Ghostfear replied expressionlessly.
Wei Ting asked, “What do you mean?”
Ghostfear took out a pear blossom dart from his pocket. “Ling Yun gave it to me. He said that Xiahou Yan would naturally recognize it if he saw this. As for whether Xiahou Yan will take the bait or not, he can’t guarantee it.”
Wei Liulang brought the dart over. “What a unique dart.”
Wei Ting was a little surprised. “I didn’t expect him to agree so readily.”
At first, when his eldest brother suggested letting Ling Yun lure Xiahou Yan out, he and his second brother actually did not have much hope.
After all, this matter had little to do with him. He could completely not get himself involved.
One of the reasons why he asked his brother to ask was to test Ling Yun’s true relationship with Xiahou Yan.
Wei Qing said, “At least it proves one thing. Ling Yun and Xiahou Yan are not on the same side. He might not have let Wuyou and that expert go last time to give Xiahou Yan face.”
Wei Ting nodded. “If that’s the case, it can’t be better.”
Ling Yun was their friend and the master of Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu. They did not want to be enemies with Ling Yun.
At the Protector Duke’s Estate.
Lu Aotian had been locked up for a day and a night.
He did not remember what happened that day at all and suddenly lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was locked in the woodshed again. What was worse than last time was that his internal energy had been sealed.
Who the hell did it!
Damn it!
He did not have any strength left in his body. He did not even need to be tied up and leaned against the wall half-dead.
He closed his eyes and thought about how to escape later.
Suddenly, he heard a small slurping sound.
He opened his eyes and saw three cute children standing at the door.
Each child was holding a big meat bun.
Each bun was oily and fragrant. It was extremely tempting.
Lu Aotian had not eaten anything since he was captured by the Jade-faced Rakshasa and was already hungry.
He looked at the three young children and his eyes flashed. He squeezed out a coaxing smile and said, “Kids, whose family are you from?”
Dahu said, “Mother’s (Damn it).”
Lu Aotian muttered, “You scolded me!”
The three little ones had so many candy bars in their pockets that they could barely fit them in.
Lu Aotian endured it for a bite of food.
He glanced at the youngest and easiest to deceive and smiled. ‘You have so much candy in your pocket. Can you finish it?” Xiaohu touched his pocket. “Grandma’s! (God damn you!)”
Lu Aotian glared at him. They were scolding him again!
Just as he was about to coax the gentlest little fellow in the middle, Su Xiaoxiao appeared.
“Mother!”
The three little ones turned and clattered into her arms.
Lu Aotian was even more confused.
This girl… already had such big children?
Su Xiaoxiao touched their heads. “Go play with Grandmaster.”
“Yes!”
The three of them nodded and obediently went to cause trouble for their grandmaster.
Su Xiaoxiao came to Lu Aotian with big meat buns and a pot of plum wine.
“You’re a sect master after all. Aren’t you too ashamed to scam a few children out of their food?”
“Hmph.”
Sect Master Lu turned his face away and ignored Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao was not angry. She waved the big meat bun in her hand. “Do you want to eat it? It’s mutton filling.”
Lu Aotian was unmoved.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “As long as you tell me what Xiahou Yan cares about the most and who the most powerful expert beside Xiahou Yan is, these food will
be…
Lu Aotian roared, “Of course, Xiahou Yan cares about the position of the successor of the City Lord Manor the most! The City Lord has promised him that as long as he succeeds in the Great Zhou, he will inherit his position! The most powerful expert beside him is a guy called Feng Wuchang, one of the five elders of the City Lord Manor!
“I’m definitely not saying this for your meat buns! I’m a principled person!”
“I only want sweet buns!” Su Xiaoxiao’s lips twitched..
