Chapter 116 Su Yuyao Throws a Tantrum

The food to be delivered to the team is ready!

Several bamboo baskets were filled with fragrant steamed buns, which Grandma Bao and White Tiger Mother carefully covered with clean white cloths. They then lifted a wooden bucket filled with congee onto a small cart.

Everything is ready, let's set off!

Su Yuyao felt a little guilty. She was hesitant to take Xuanfeng to see the plank road she had burned down. What if she angered Xuanfeng again?

"Xuanfeng, let's go to the hot springs!" Su Yuyao said, taking Xuanfeng's hand.

"Hot spring?" Xuanfeng frowned.

"Then going to see white rice cakes is fine too!"

"What's wrong?" Xuanfeng squeezed Su Yuyao's hand and asked, "Weren't you going to deliver steamed buns?"

"I..." Su Yuyao glanced at the group that had already set off, blinked her eyes, and said, "I'm fine with going, but don't get angry!"

"Why should I be angry? You've already burned it, what we need to do now is figure out how to fix it!" Xuanfeng rubbed Su Yuyao's head. "You brat, you still know how to be scared!"

Su Yuyao followed Xuanfeng onto the plank road that she had burned. On the blackened plank road, traces of repairs and joints at the broken points could be clearly seen.

Su Yuyao looked up to get a general idea of ​​the location. If she walked straight up from here, she could reach the area below her own yard!

She leaned on the railing and looked down. She could see a dark dot in the distance, which must be Yuqing's yard!

I burned such a large area of ​​the mountain?!

Although Su Yuyao started the wildfire, she never bothered to find out exactly how much was burned. Firstly, she felt too guilty to look, and secondly, she couldn't help in any way, so looking wouldn't have made a difference!

Hearing some noise, Su Yuyao looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out that a group of people were squatting on a platform in front, and Bai Jinsi and her group were coming up to greet them.

"Hey? Brothers! It's perfect that you're resting here. My wives and I steamed some buns and cooked some congee, so we brought them over for you to try!" Bai Jinsi said loudly.

The people resting on the platform quickly stood up to express their gratitude before accepting the steamed buns and congee and distributing them.

Xuanfeng pulled Su Yuyao along as well. Everyone was startled at first, then quickly stood up straight and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Xuanfeng! Greetings... uh..."

Xuanfeng pulled Su Yuyao to his side and said with a hint of pride and arrogance, "This is my wolf clan wife, Su Yuyao!"

The crowd erupted in uproar upon hearing this!

Wow! This is Su Yuyao!

"Let me see! Let me see!"

"She's...quite cute!"

Wow! So tender!

"How dare you talk like that! So rude! You're really young!"

"Lord Xuanfeng is truly blessed!"

Su Yuyao had been surrounded by onlookers many times, but she had never been intimidated.

But this time was different. It was the first time she had been surrounded by people as Xuanfeng's wife, and she actually became shy. She mustered her courage, her face flushed, and said loudly, "I... my name is Su Yuyao..."

Ha ha ha ha!

Su Yuyao's delicate voice drew laughter from everyone again.

Xuanfeng's eyes sharpened as he surveyed the crowd. The people who had been laughing and joking moments before suddenly fell silent, with only the sounds of munching on buns and slurping porridge filling the air.

"Can't you shut your mouths up with food?" Xuanfeng scolded in a low voice.

Su Yuyao didn't know why they kept laughing; she just felt shy when they laughed.

She hid behind Xuanfeng and buried her head in his armpit.

"Hmm?" Su Yuyao looked up. Where was that armpit that she used to be able to squeeze into? Could it be... that I've really grown taller?

Xuanfeng also noticed Su Yuyao's change. He turned his head to look at the girl who had grown up to his shoulder. "You brat, you've grown up so fast!"

"Ugh! I'm so angry! He still won't agree!" Lei Ming's angry voice came from afar. "Lord Guan Xiao! Is he always this unreasonable?"

"Oh dear! General Lei, please don't be angry. I'll go and persuade him again later!" Guan Xiao's voice was full of helplessness.

"Yo! Yo!" Lei Ming saw Su Yuyao standing on the platform. "Isn't this Miss Yao'er?! What brings you here?!"

"Hmm..." Su Yuyao tilted her head and looked Lei Ming up and down, but she still couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Lei Ming had met Su Yuyao in Huangshang City and Yuantun Palace, and had a very deep impression of her.

"My name is Lei Ming. We've met before in Huangshang City and also in Yuantun Palace!"

"Oh, General Lei!" Su Yuyao curtsied slightly.

"Lord Xuanfeng! Miss Yao'er!" Guan Xiao bowed and asked, "What brings you here today?"

Xuanfeng looked at Su Yuyao and said, "The girl wanted to bring food to everyone, so I came along."

"Lei Ming!" Xuan Feng looked at Lei Ming and asked, "What trouble have you encountered?"

"Ah? Oh! Reporting to you, sir!" Lei Ming bowed and replied, "The plank road is almost finished, but we've encountered a family who absolutely refuse to let the plank road go around their yard. I've explained to them that it won't damage their yard, but they just won't listen! They say, 'Nobody used to walk on this plank road before, so why do we need to build it?!' I'm really... sigh!"

"Whose house is this with the flute?"

"Reporting to you, sir! It is Luo Fengyue's residence!" Guan Xiao replied. "He lives alone and is a loner who hardly interacts with outsiders, so communication with him is somewhat difficult."

"How was the plank road built before? Why was it agreed to then, but not now?" Su Yuyao asked in confusion.

“Miss Yao’er, Luo Fengyue only built her house here after the plank road was repaired!” Guan Xiao replied with a smile.

"Oh..." Su Yuyao thought for a moment and then asked, "Does Luo Fengyue also have a memorial tablet?"

Guan Xiao nodded, "Yes!"

Su Yuyao smiled and looked at Xuanfeng, "Xuanfeng, you just looked at the list. Was this tombstone for Luo Fengyue erected by Qinggan?"

"Yes!" Xuanfeng replied with a smile.

Su Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "Can I go take a look?"

"You?" Xuanfeng asked curiously, "You want to persuade him?"

“I…I’m not sure either, but we can’t let so many brothers stay here forever!” Su Yuyao said.

Xuanfeng was somewhat worried that Su Yuyao would cause trouble, but he was also very curious about what kind of things Su Yuyao was capable of doing.

After a brief moment of thought, he said, "Okay!"

Su Yuyao was very surprised, "You...agree?"

"Yes! I agree!" Xuan Feng looked at Su Yuyao, who had grown up, and realized that she really should be given some experience.

"Then... I'll really go!" Su Yuyao said excitedly, unable to hide her excitement.

Xuanfeng nodded and took Su Yuyao's hand. "Let's go!"

"Wait!" Su Yuyao looked at her hand, which was being held tightly by Xuan Feng, and said seriously, "Let go! I want to go by myself!"

"Go by yourself?" Xuan Feng frowned, glaring at Su Yuyao. "No way!"

"Hmph!" Su Yuyao muttered reluctantly, "I knew it! Saying I could go was just a lie! If you come with me, you definitely won't let me do anything!"

Pfft! Pfft!

The crowd gathered to the side, eating and watching the commotion, couldn't hold back their laughter and covered their mouths to stifle their giggles.

Su Yuyao glanced at the rustling crowd and became shy again. She hid next to Xuanfeng, twisted her body, and said coquettishly, "Just let me go by myself! At worst, General Lei can come with me!"

Xuanfeng glanced back at the laughing crowd, and the entire platform fell silent again.

He tightened his grip on Su Yuyao's hand, stepped aside, and patiently persuaded her, "I'm going with you because I'm afraid you'll be in danger..."

"They're afraid I'll cause trouble, aren't they!"

"You're not familiar with the people here. If you don't handle things properly, it could cause other problems..."

"Do you know this Luo Fengyue?" Su Yuyao asked, unconvinced.

"I...don't know him..."

"Since you don't know me either, why are you worried about me?"

"Girl, you lack experience!"

That's why I have to practice!

"Yao'er!" Xuanfeng's eyes widened.

"I'm just going to take a look, I won't do anything else... Please!" Seeing that Xuan Feng was really getting anxious, Su Yuyao quickly softened her tone, "Let General Lei come with me, nothing will happen! You don't trust me, but don't you trust General Lei?"

Xuanfeng sighed and looked helplessly at Su Yuyao. It wasn't that he didn't want to let go, but every time he did, something would happen to Su Yuyao.

"General Lei..." Seeing that she couldn't persuade Xuan Feng, Su Yuyao asked Lei Ming, "General Lei, what kind of person is Luo Fengyue?"

“Replying to Miss Yao’er, that Luo Fengyue is an extremely stubborn and obstinate old man,” Lei Ming replied.

"He's just an old man... just let me go by myself!" Su Yuyao pleaded again. It wasn't that she didn't want Xuanfeng to come along, but that if Xuanfeng came along, he would definitely keep an eye on her.

"Girl, I promise I won't bother you..."

"I'm not going!" Su Yuyao angrily shook off Xuanfeng's hand and turned to walk down the mountain.

"Hey! Girl!" Xuanfeng called out.

Su Yuyao didn't turn her head.

Pfft! Pfft! Everyone was trying to hold back their laughter.

"Yao'er! Stop right there!"

Su Yuyao lifted her skirt and ran.

Hehehehe! Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Su Yuyao, am I..."

Su Yuyao quickened her pace and disappeared from sight.

Hahahaha! Everyone burst into laughter.

Xuanfeng was anxious to chase after her, but stopped because of his pride, and explained while suppressing his anger, "I've spoiled this girl!"

"Lord Xuanfeng! Miss Yao'er's temper is really enough to keep you in check!"

Hahahahahahaha!

Everyone laughed without restraint, even Xuanfeng started to blush. "You brat! You didn't beat me enough!"

Su Yuyao ran down the mountain in a huff and unknowingly arrived at the school. She peered over the courtyard wall and saw that the children were not in class but playing in the yard. Yuqing was sitting under the eaves, doing needlework while watching them.

I don't want to go back anyway, so I might as well stay here for a while. Even if I get scolded, it'll be worth it!

Su Yuyao skipped and hopped to the gate of the courtyard, only to find it tightly closed.

Bang bang bang!

Su Yuyao banged on the door without any politeness, "Yuqing! Yuqing! Why is the door locked?!"

"Sister Yao'er! Sister Yao'er!" Baihu was very excited to hear Su Yuyao's voice and hurriedly opened the door. "Why are you here?!"

"White Tiger!" Su Yuyao stepped into the courtyard and said, "Xuanfeng told me to come out and play, so I came to find you!"

"Miss Yao'er!" Yu Qing rushed over and blocked Su Yuyao's way. "This is a school! You can't just come in like that!"

"Hmm?" Su Yuyao looked at the courtyard. "Although it's a school, there are no classes. They're all playing in the courtyard. Can't I play for a while too?"

Yu Qing said with difficulty, "Miss Yao'er, please go back. Granny Zhong specifically instructed me before she left that... keep the door closed and don't... let you in..."

Yu Qing's voice grew softer and softer, but it was still loud enough for Su Yuyao to hear.

Su Yuyao said angrily, "Why?! Why won't you let me in?!"

"Sister Yao'er, could it be because of... our efforts to save Jiujiao Mountain?" Baihu asked embarrassedly.

"Oh..." Su Yuyao knew she was in the wrong. Going to save Jiujiao Mountain last time was indeed too risky, and she was indeed too reckless, almost causing a disaster.

She left the school dejectedly, and Yuqing helplessly closed the courtyard gate.

Looking at the closed door behind her, Su Yuyao suddenly felt incredibly lonely and lost. No one wanted to play with her, and... she was starting to be isolated!

Yu Qing closed the door and peered through the crack in the wall at Su Yuyao. She thought back to when she was homeless and destitute, how many times she had been chased away like this before finally finding a place to stay…

“Aunt Yuqing,” Baihu peeked through the crack in the wall and said, “Last time, we went out with Sister Yao’er because there was trouble in Jiujiao Mountain! Now that the flood has passed, Sister Yao’er has no reason to take us out anymore, so why can’t we let her come in and play?”

“That’s right!” Zang Mao squeezed in and said, “Let Sister Yao’er come in and play, since we don’t have class right now!”

Feng Zhan also ran over, watching Su Yuyao gradually walk away on the mountain path, "Aunt Yuqing, isn't it more dangerous for Sister Yao'er to play outside by herself?"

Yu Qing's heart suddenly skipped a beat. That's right! How could Yao'er have come out on her own? She's always been a troublemaker; even with someone watching over her, they might not be able to control her. She alone... No! It's too dangerous!

"They won't even let me into the school! Am I that annoying?! Humph! I'm not going in! I don't want to play with them!"

Su Yuyao grew angrier and angrier, and the angrier she got, the sadder she became. "Ugh... why won't you let me in..."

"Miss Yao'er!"

Su Yuyao stopped and turned to look at Yu Qing, who was jogging towards her.

"Miss Yao'er, why are you outside alone?" Yu Qing asked. "Where is Lord Xuanfeng?"

“He…” Su Yuyao blinked and said, “He’s very busy, so he lets me play by myself!”

"Is it true?" Yu Qing looked at Su Yuyao's guilty expression with some disbelief. "You didn't sneak out on your own?"

Su Yuyao turned around and continued taking steps forward, muttering, "Fine, if you don't believe me..."

Looking at Su Yuyao's state, Yuqing couldn't bear it any longer. "Miss Yao'er! How about this, you go to the school and stay with the children, but you absolutely, positively cannot take any of the children out of the school. Can you do that?"

Su Yuyao's eyes lit up, and she turned around with a smile, saying, "I can do it! I definitely can!"

"Then... you must keep your word and don't cause me any trouble!" Yu Qing instructed again.

"I know! My dear Aunt Yuqing! Don't worry!" Su Yuyao replied with a laugh as she lifted her skirt and ran towards the school.

Yu Qing smiled helplessly, clasped her hands together, and looked up at the sky. "God, please bless me! Please don't let this troublesome ancestor cause me any trouble!"

Under Su Yuyao's guidance, the children in the school had even more fun!

After several duels, Su Yuyao was dumbfounded. "Wow! Your skills are all amazing!"

Everyone started guessing the blind boxes again. Su Yuyao's divination was quick and accurate, leaving the children speechless with amazement. "Wow! Sister Yao'er! Your divination is amazing!"

Ever since Su Yuyao was brought in, Yuqing has dared not do any needlework anymore. She keeps a close eye on Su Yuyao, afraid that she might cause trouble again on a whim!

Su Yuyao didn't notice Yuqing's fear and played with the children until it got late and the children finished school and went home. Only then did Su Yuyao reluctantly sit down.

"Miss Yao'er, wipe your sweat!" Yu Qing handed her a warm handkerchief and said, "I'll take you home in a bit!"

Su Yuyao took the handkerchief and wiped her face haphazardly, saying, "No need! I'm not in a hurry to go back!"

Ugh... how am I going to get back? I've been out here for ages, I wonder if Xuanfeng is worried enough. What if he's angry? I'll be in big trouble! Maybe I should wait a little longer! Wait until he calms down! But... what if he doesn't calm down... ugh...

Seeing Su Yuyao's complicated expression, Yu Qing guessed what was going on. "Miss Yao'er! Tell the truth! Did you sneak out to play?!"

"No!" Su Yuyao said guiltily, "Xuanfeng knows I came out..."

"Does Lord Xuanfeng know that you've come to the academy?" Yu Qing asked again.

"Maybe... I don't know..."

"Get up!" Yu Qing snatched the handkerchief and said sternly, "I'll take you back!"

"I'm not going back!" Su Yuyao said, twisting her body. "I'll wait a little longer..."

"What are you waiting for?! Don't cause me any trouble!" Yu Qing grabbed Su Yuyao's arm and said, "I knew it! You must have sneaked out!"

“I already told you! I didn’t sneak out! I… ran away in a fit of pique… Xuanfeng knows…”

"What?! You ran away because you were angry with Lord Xuanfeng?!" Yu Qing's eyes widened in anger. "You're going to get me killed?! How am I going to explain this to the lord?! Come with me now!"

Su Yuyao shook off Yu Qing's hand. "Um... wait, by the way! Do you know Luo Fengyue?"
