Yao Lao sat on the chair with an angry look on his face, his beard twitching. He was breathing heavily because he was too excited, and one could clearly see his chest rising and falling.
Emperor Shitian had never seen this old man care so much about someone other than himself. It can be seen that the eldest grandson and the little girl he mentioned are really important to him.
"Oh my old lord, please stop struggling. You don't know that your health is very bad. You'd better listen to your Excellency and stay in the Demon Palace to recuperate." The Excellency is already worried enough, but the old lord still doesn't understand. It's really a headache.
"I tell you, no matter who comes to persuade me this time, or what you say, I will make the decision!"
This sentence was said very firmly, expressing his determination to go without reservation.
After a moment of stalemate, Emperor Shitian spoke.
"Tell me, what will it take for you not to go?"
When Yao Lao heard this, his eyes rolled and his eyebrows moved, "It's okay if I don't go, then you go for me."
Although he is the master in name, his disciple is unfathomable in terms of strength. So if he goes, it will be more effective. And it will also give him and Xia Yatou a chance to get along. Maybe they will...
When he thought of this, Yao Lao felt that the whole world was bright.
"Can."
"Also, you have to agree to a few requests of mine."
"you say."
"First, when you get there, you have to help me find the whereabouts of my eldest grandson and her mother."
"Sure." He also wanted to see what the two people who made the old man so concerned looked like.
"Second, if they get into any trouble, you must make the decision for them unconditionally."
"... ... "I became more and more curious about those two people. What kind of magic potion did they give to the old man
"Third, Yu'er is already my grandson, you have to chase his mother for me!"
"Poof... ... cough cough cough!" Shadow Guard No. 1, who was drinking medicine, spat it out after hearing this. He also choked and coughed violently.
Oh my God, is this my real master
You said you just adopted a grandson and asked the Lord to protect him, and you actually asked their great Lord to chase after a woman.
Of course, this is not a big problem. The key point is that the woman is actually a married woman! And... and... she has a child!
Oh my god!
What kind of master is this
Sure enough, Emperor Shitian’s expression, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, turned gloomy.
"That's not possible." What kind of request is this? It's too weird.
The secret guards following behind Emperor Shi Tian were also stunned at this moment.
The old master's words are really shocking. Fortunately, their master is relatively calm. If it were someone else, he would probably be furious on the spot.
But why do I find it so funny
The Lord is chasing a married woman...
Hahahahaha...
When Yao Lao heard that Di Shi Tian had refused, he immediately quit.
"Look, you don't let me go, and you don't agree to my request. You... you just want to piss me off to death. Woohoo... I have such a miserable life."
"... ... "
"I don't care. If you don't agree, just let me go. If you don't find me a wife, I'll find one for you."
"... ... "
"Old Master, this is not right." Servant No. 1 was really impatient and couldn't hold back. Although he had bruises of varying sizes on his body, he still endured the pain and jumped in front of Yao Lao.
"Old Master, you said that the woman has a child, which means she already has a husband. How can you let you pursue a married woman? This is not right." Servant No. 1 said earnestly, hoping to persuade the Old Master to turn back from his wrong path and not have such outrageous ideas again.
After listening to this, Yao Lao pondered for a while, then nodded in sudden realization.
Servant No. 1 was relieved when he saw this. He thought that the old master had figured it out. This is good, this is good.
"You're right. It's not good to destroy the relationship between husband and wife." He looked up and said to Servant No. 1, "Why don't you send someone to kill her husband? That way, Xia girl will no longer be a married woman."
"... ... " Servant No. 1 not only staggered, but fortunately Servant No. 2 was standing next to him and helped him up, otherwise he would have fallen on the spot.
No, what exactly is going on in the old master’s brain
Is this what he just said
Originally, the plan was just to abduct a married woman, but now it has developed to the level of murdering and robbing a decent woman? The degree of error has even increased!
What the hell is this!
"No, Yu'er is so smart, and Xia is also a powerful girl. Her husband must be a different person. How about you, my disciple, kill her husband before you go."
"... ... "Emperor Shitian lowered his head, and looked straight at Yao Lao with his pair of phoenix eyes, which made Yao Lao feel a little guilty.
"Hehe, if you don't want to kill, then forget it. But you must meet the first two requirements." He knew the temper of this disciple very well. Although he seemed very strict to his master, he was actually being tolerant to the maximum extent, so he couldn't force him any further.
"I will do it." After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.
But just as he walked to the door of the room, he heard a voice behind him, "Disciple, think about pursuing Xia Yatou. She is really a wonderful girl. Most importantly, her son is so cute. Think about it. Marry one and get one free. It's a good deal!"
I guess the son is the key point.
Buy one, get one free
It sounded as if he was not capable of having children.
Emperor Shi Tian left in a hurry, and the secret guard following him almost fell down.
This old master is really a funny guy. When he said these words, he didn't think about the feelings of the master at all. It turns out that the master has been single for so many years, not because he doesn't like women, but... It's not possible.
Since then, the secret of the Demon Lord's inhumanity has spread throughout the Demon Palace...
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the Ling family's family recognition banquet.
From early in the morning, the invited guests arrived one after another.
The Ling family is extremely lively today.
"Ling'er, this is the dress that mother made for you. Mother used to make several for you every year, but later on, my memory became blurred..." At this point, Lingxi's eyes became moist again, but when she thought that today was a big day, she suppressed her tears and changed the subject, "Come on, Ling'er, come and try it on."
"Mom, you look so beautiful today." Xia Junyu came over and said with a smile.
"Yu'er is also very handsome."
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then a maid walked in.
"Greetings, young lady, young master. The master of the family asked me to come in and ask if the young lady is ready. The banquet is about to begin. Before it begins, please go to the ancestral temple to pay homage."
"Mother, I'll go first."
"Okay, you go with your grandpa first, and when the banquet starts, mother will go out."
"Um."
After following the maid along the winding gravel road, we stopped in front of an ancient pavilion.
"Young lady, please wait a moment while I go in and report."
Ling'er nodded, and the maid bowed and left.
This two-story building looks very old, and its architectural style is different from today's. The exterior has a sense of age, and the whole is intact, with no damage or repair. I think the materials used to build it must have been very sophisticated.
"Are you the illegitimate child born to Lingxi and the wild man?"
There was a strong sense of disdain in the old voice. Ling'er turned around and saw an old man with a goatee, a small nose and small eyes. There was a look of contempt on his wrinkled face. The way he looked at Ling'er made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Illegitimate children have no manners. They don't show courtesy to me and stare at me straight. They are not worthy of being on the stage."
As he spoke, his goatee moved, and his eyes were unfriendly. He raised his head, looking down on everything from a high position. It was as if what he saw was something dirty, revealing a strong sense of disgust and disdain.
"So you are the one on the countertop?"
This sentence successfully stunned Goatee. Perhaps he was not expecting it, or perhaps he thought he had heard it wrong.
"You? What did you say?" His expression changed from contempt to anger, and he pointed at Ling'er and asked with five points of disbelief.
"Oh, considering your age, hearing loss and poor eyesight, I will kindly say it again. Are you a decent person?"
Ling'er spoke every word at a very fast speed, smiling.
"You! You! You you you! How outrageous!" He stretched out his finger, pointed at Ling'er's face, and said with his body trembling slightly because of anger.
"Insolent? I'll give you five." Ling'er is not someone who will suffer a loss. If someone respects me, I respect them. If someone insults me, I return the favor double. No matter where she is or who she is facing, this is her way of life.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you be so rude to me?"
"I don't care who you are. Even if you are the king of the world, you have to be reasonable. If someone hits you on the left cheek, you don't resist and turn your right cheek to him? Then you must be a fool."
"you!"
"I, I, I, I, what do you mean by I? It seems that not only your hearing is not good, but your speech is not very fluent. Old man, you should go back to see a doctor as soon as possible, and don't hang around. I am very busy and have no time to deal with you."
After saying that, Ling'er went straight in the direction where the maid had just left.
"Oh, wild girl, I will let you be arrogant for a while. When we are in front of everyone, let's see how you end up! Humph!" The man with the goatee said viciously as he looked at Ling'er's departing back. His voice was not very loud, but Ling'er still vaguely heard it.
Ling Er raised her eyebrows. It seemed that things were not going to be peaceful today. But so what? If the enemy came, she would stop him. If the water came, she would block it. Could it be that she was still afraid of them
As Ling'er walked to the door, she heard a quarrel coming from inside.
