Chapter 548 The Secret Site of the Killing Palace
In the brightly lit inner city, two streams of green smoke passed through the sky, almost invisible.
In his room on the third floor of Wangque Tower, Bai Xiaofeng watched his elder and younger brothers flee. He closed the west window amid the cheers of the entire city, his lips curled up slightly as he snorted, "I stole all the goodies I've collected for two years in one go, you old bastard, little bastard... Tingfeng, bring up the goodies hidden in the underground secret room."
Ting Feng, "...OP, are you still moving?"
The man shook his sleeves, turned over on the bed, and slept facing inwards, his tone lazy, "What do I need?"
Ting Feng suppressed his laughter and retreated.
With the OP doting and pampering them like this, how could Du Lao and Tian Bao not make a big fuss?
On the other side, the old man Du was carrying a package on his shoulder. He was so excited listening to the cheers below that he really wanted to stop and wave to those people.
"Tianbao, they all know Grandpa! I didn't expect Grandpa to be so famous and prestigious here!"
Tian Bao's lips curved, "Yes, everyone loves Grandpa Du."
"Really? Don't lie to me, I have lost my memory!"
"Whether I'm talking or hitting someone, I mean it."
"Really? Grandpa believes you! Hehehe!"
After a moment, the old man chattered again, "Sweet baby, Grandpa likes it here!"
Tianbao's smile softened a little, "This is our home, we'll live here forever."
The little old man grinned and danced with joy.
He likes it here, and he likes his little sweet baby the most, hehe!
The people looking up below saw a wisp of black smoke swirling in the air and rapidly rushing towards the Bai Mansion.
"... I'm going to Bai Mansion, brothers. There's nothing exciting to watch. Let's go to sleep."
"Why isn't there anything exciting to watch? Bai Yu is at home right now!"
"It's because Bai Yu is at home. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Tomorrow when we wake up, we might even see Bai's carriage rushing by to take Tianbao and the old man back to Tubei Village. They won't be able to leave for a while anyway, so Bai Yu has plenty of goodies for them to play with."
“…”
That night the city was as lively as a big opera, with one group performing and another coming on stage.
Wangque Tower was quiet, while Bai Mansion was bustling.
As the head of the Bai family, Bai Kui turned over and continued to sleep after hearing the noise, without even moving his eyelids.
The eldest princess only asked the maid and then went back to sleep peacefully.
The locks of various places in the mansion were opened one by one, allowing the old man to explore the secrets.
The old man Du immediately lost interest in such an easy mystery. He forgot about the warehouse and went to raze the Bai Mansion's kitchen, looking for something delicious to eat in the middle of the night.
A bunch of cooks played house with the old man.
In the small flower hall, the lanterns cast a warm yellow glow. Two bowls of steaming lotus seed soup were placed on a small round table carved from pear wood. When the lids were opened, hot steam wafted out, bringing with it a light sweet fragrance.
Bai Yu supported the table with one hand, supporting his chin, and sat in a loose and lazy posture, like a sleepy cat, but his eyes were bright as he stared at the woman.
"The light in the study was still on when I came. Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?" Tianbao placed her hands on the table, supporting her chin, and looked at the man.
Like a belligerent fighting cock.
Bai Yu pictured fighting cocks flapping their wings in a scramble, and he chuckled, "It must be telepathy. I sensed you and Grandpa Du were coming, so I was waiting for you."
"You are hiding something from me." Tianbao didn't believe his lies and hit the nail on the head.
"Nothing, I just feel a little disappointed. I haven't been able to talk to you for the whole day."
"You can say that now."
"Strange, I don't want to talk about it now. It's better to just look at you. Sweetie, you're back."
Tianbao nodded, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she and the man just lay on the table, looking at each other, the lights were dim, and the room was quiet.
The time is quiet and the heart is peaceful.
"I have some personal matters to take care of, so I need to be away for a while. I will be back in two months at the latest." Bai Yu suddenly spoke, his gentle tone breaking the silence.
Tianbao nodded again and didn't ask any more questions.
"Su An and Bing'er's wedding will take several months after all the red tape, so it should be ready in time for their wedding banquet."
"Can you come back safely?" Tianbao tilted his head.
Bai Yu was slightly stunned, his peach blossom eyes curved, "Of course."
He flicked the woman's fair forehead with his finger and said, "I won't keep you waiting."
The wait is too painful.
How could he bear to do that?
After the old man finished messing around in the kitchen, he came back holding a roasted chicken and gnawing on it. He saw the brat from the Bai family applying medicine on the scar on Tianbao's face next to the lantern.
He took a bamboo sprig, dipped it in the ointment and applied it, and he was very quiet, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But the old man just felt something was wrong.
One lamp, two people, a single man and a single woman!
The old man circled around Bai Yu, biting a chicken leg, then rolled up his sleeves and knocked a bump on his forehead. "Grandpa doesn't know why I want to beat you up, I just feel uncomfortable. Bai boy, you look too much like a fox, as if you're going to take away my chickens. Don't move, don't move, be careful not to hurt Tianbao with the bamboo strips! Grandpa will hit me again to vent his anger, just bear with it!"
Bai Yu, Tian Bao, "..."
After staying at the Bai Mansion for one night, after lunch the next day, the Bai Mansion's luxurious carriage took the father and son to Tubei Village.
After seeing Tianbao and the old man off, Bai Yu set off immediately.
We had originally planned to leave in the morning, but the delay had already made it a bit late. Because we were in a hurry, we didn't notice that the carriage turned back after leaving the city and rushed to Wangque Tower.
On the third floor, the gauze fluttered and the sound of the piano was long and distant.
A man in a moon-colored robe sits in front of a guqin, playing it with great interest, while the incense curls from a gold-bronze Boshan incense burner beside him.
"Godfather, where is Bai Yu?" Tianbao went straight to the third-floor living room and hugged Guqin.
The strings were pressed down and could not be plucked.
Bai Xiaofeng glanced at her with a lecherous look, "After two years away, have you become a scoundrel?"
Tian Bao was serious for a moment, "It's just a spoiled child."
"..." Bai Xiaofeng suppressed his laughter and snorted, pretending to raise his hand and pat the woman's head. "You only remembered me as your godfather when you had something to do. He has returned to the Killing Palace."
"Killing Palace? Where is it?"
Bai Xiaofeng didn't answer directly. He rescued his precious guqin and rearranged it, his eyes lowered slightly. "The Killing Palace's ability to transmit and receive information is now comparable to that of the Magpie Tower. I only know that he's going back to the Killing Palace, but I haven't found out why he's leaving at this time. But I can guess that for Yu'er to leave his exile and handle it personally, it must be a serious matter, and the dangers involved are difficult to estimate. He didn't tell you because he didn't want you to get involved."
Tian Bao pursed her lips, "Godfather, where is the Killing Palace?"
"Are you really going? You've finally survived a disaster and returned home. If something unexpected happens again, have you thought about your grandparents at home, and all the people who care about you in the exile area?"
"I'm going precisely because it's dangerous. If Bai Yu and I were in each other's shoes today, he would make the same decision. Godfather, he's done far more for me than I've ever done for him. If my grandparents knew my decision, they would support me, too."
Outside the door, the old man's messy hair poked out as he grumbled anxiously, "Bai, why don't you tell me quietly that I'll go help that brat. If anything happens to him... I'll feel bad too."
Bai Xiaofeng rubbed his brows, then said in frustration, "The secret site of the Killing Palace, you are actually revisiting it. Well, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll take you there for some fun."
Poison old man, "..."
I didn't ask you to bring it.
You want to play it yourself?
