Chapter 1243: Blowing the Cover (2)

Naturally, this news was very likely fake. The goal was to prevent him from raising Ji Wanru as a concubine.

In that case, the Hundred Flowers Palace was very suspicious.

On the cliff.

The rain poured down.

Wei Ting hung from a cliff cypress and was drenched.

He spun in the rain and said expressionlessly, “Master, if you don’t fish me in soon, I’ll be drenched.”

Elder Qiu sat in the cave and smacked his lips. He unwillingly used a wooden hook to fish in this disciple whom he did not acknowledge.

Wei Ting took off his mask and gloves, took off his wet outer robe, and threw it to Jing Yi.

“Son, dry it.”

Jing Yi refused. “Dry it yourself.”

Wei Liulang asked, “Little Seven, did Xiahou Qing recognize you?”

Wei Ting recalled Xiahou Qing’s reaction. “He probably didn’t recognize me, but he probably guessed that I’m a young man.”

He deliberately imitated the old voice, but Xiahou Qing’s gaze lingered on his neck and gloves. Perhaps he had already guessed that he was hiding his age.

Wei Liulang asked worriedly, “If the Palace Lord finds out, will she be angry?”

Wei Ting took out 5,000 taels of silver and sighed helplessly. “I didn’t want to, but Big Brother gave me too much.”

Wei Liulang was speechless.

Jing Yi gave him a disdainful look.

Wei Liulang muttered, “Is Xiahou Qing so easily fooled? How can one believe something about a person who has been dead for so many years because of a note from a stranger?”

Wei Ting said, “Without a doubt, he will suspect the authenticity of the incident. Yes… 70%. No, it’s 99% now because I played him again.”

Wei Liulang frowned and said, “In that case, when the rain stops later, will he have to return to the City Lord’s Manor to continue naming Madam Ru as the City Lord’s Madam? Wouldn’t we have worked for nothing?”

Wei Ting raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Sixth Brother, do you want to make a bet?”

Wei Liulang asked, “What are we betting on?”

Wei Ting said, “I bet that Xiahou Qing will go to the Hundred Flowers Palace. 5,000 taels.”

Wei Liulang said, “I only have a thousand taels.”

Wei Ting looked at Jing Yi. “What about you?”

Jing Yi said, “I won’t bet with you.”

Wei Ting said to Wei Liulang, “A thousand taels it is. Do you want to bet?”

Wei Liulang said, “No bet.”

Wei Ting said, “I’ll bet five thousand taels.”

Wei Liulang was hooked. “Deal!”

Half an hour later, the rain stopped.

After Xiahou Qing calmed down, he figured out the cause and effect.

He had most likely fallen into a trap. That guy was here to cause trouble.

At this moment, the people from the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and Xiahou Yanyu also found this place.

“City Lord!”

Lou Bufan got off the horse with his raincoat and cupped his hands.

Xiahou Qing nodded slightly.

“Dad!”

Xiahou Yanyu also got off the horse and walked quickly towards the cave.

She saw Ling Yun at the side. “I’ve seen you outside Ming Xia Hall. You’re from the Hundred Flowers Palace!”

Xiahou Qing said, “He’s the Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Yun Lin.”

Seeing that he was wearing her father’s robe, Xiahou Yanyu frowned.

Ever since she was young, she had been the only apple of her father’s eye. Even though her father had a few godsons, there was a difference in closeness.

Rather than calling them father and sons, they were more like a monarch and ministers.

Her father’s love had always been given to her alone. Even her brothers had never enjoyed such treatment.

What right did a young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace have to deserve this treatment?

Lou Bufan asked, “Is there something urgent for the City Lord to leave suddenly?”

Xiahou Qing said calmly, “An assassin came to our residence. I chased after him and bumped into Young Palace Lord Yun.”

He couldn’t say that he had been deceived.

Lou Bufan looked at Ling Yun suspiciously and said to Xiahou Qing seriously, “Disciples of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, stay behind to capture the assassin. I’ll escort the City Lord back to the residence first.”

Xiahou Yanyu said, “Yes, Dad, Mom and Brother have been waiting for you!”

Xiahou Qing looked in the direction of the cliff and said, “The assassin jumped off the cliff. Send someone down to search. I want to see him if he’s alive or if he’s dead.”

Lou Bufan cupped his hands. “I will.”

Xiahou Yanyu held Xiahou Qing’s arm. “Dad, let’s go back.”

Xiahou Qing subconsciously looked at Ling Yun.

Lou Bufan was smart. He immediately smiled and said, “Is Young Palace Lord Yun’s carriage nearby? I’ll send disciples to escort you over.”

Ling Yun said calmly, “There’s no need. I’ll walk myself.”

He pulled off his robe, stood up, and left the cave.

Xiahou Yanyu snorted coquettishly. “This person… is so rude! He dirtied Dad’s clothes!”

Xiahou Qing looked at Ling Yun’s thin back.

He had not noticed it when he was rushing in the rain just now. Now, he realized that his leg was injured.

Although he tried his best to hide it, his walking posture was clearly very stiff.

Ling Yun was really not injured.

He had just sat there for too long and his legs were numb.

The other party was Yun Shuang’s son and Yun Xi’s family. He couldn’t leave him alone in the deep mountains and old forest.

With this thought in mind, Xiahou Qing strode after Ling Yun.

Xiahou Yanyu was upset. “Grandpa, look!”

Lou Bufan narrowed his eyes meaningfully. “Today, the City Lord must announce the City Lord’s Madam. Nothing else is important.”

Xiahou Yanyu stomped her feet aggrievedly. “Dad is just biased. He used to be biased towards Yun Shuang, but now he’s biased towards Yun Shuang’s son. Does he have to be biased towards even a dog from the Hundred Flowers Palace?”

Lou Bufan said, “Yu’er, remember, you and your brother are the City Lord’s biological children.”

With that, he quickly stepped forward and said to the two of them with a smile, “City Lord, I’ll personally escort Young Palace Lord Yun back. If Young Palace Lord Yun loses a strand of hair, I’m willing to pay with my life.”

Xiahou Yanyu shouted, “Ah!”

Xiahou Qing turned around.

Xiahou Yanyu said with tears in her eyes, “Dad, I sprained my ankle.”

Lou Bufan immediately got his disciple to rush over. “City Lord, bring Yu’er back first. I will definitely send Young Palace Lord back to the Hundred Flowers Palace safely.”

Xiahou Qing looked at his injured daughter and could only nod.

Xiahou Qing and Xiahou Yanyu got into the carriage back to the residence.

They could finally go back… Xiahou Yanyu felt relieved.

The carriage drove all the way back to the City Lord Manor as quickly as possible.

“Miss, we’re here.”

The coachman said.

Xiahou Yanyu yawned. “Dad, we’re here.”

There was no response.

She opened her eyes and her expression changed drastically.

She was the only one left in the carriage. Xiahou Qing was long gone!

At Hundred Flowers Palace, Lou Bufan personally sent Ling Yun off and only left after seeing his disciple come out to welcome him.

Ling Yun returned to his Azure Cloud Palace.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Xiahou Qing waiting in his room.

He looked stunned.

Xiahou Qing was holding a portrait in his hand. It was a portrait of Yun Xi.

Ling Yun clenched his fists. “Who allowed you to come in? Who allowed you to touch my things?”

The disciples under the corridor did not dare to make a sound.

Those who served in Azure Cloud Palace did not know martial arts.

They all looked at the Saintess at the side.

The Saintess said innocently, “I can’t beat him.”

Ling Yun quickly walked over and snatched the portrait back.

Xiahou Qing looked at him steadily. “Who are you?”

Ling Yun said angrily, “Who I am has nothing to do with you! Get out!”

Xiahou Qing stared at him deeply and suddenly raised his hand to take off his mask.
