Chapter 1018 The Show Begins



Chu Feifeng was horrified: "Xiao Qi, what should we do?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "Don't panic, we will stop the enemy with soldiers and block the water with earth."

Chu Feifeng nodded worriedly.

Wei Ting said: "Hit me again."

Chu Feifeng made a feint and gave Wei Ting a palm strike that seemed fierce but was actually powerless.

Wei Ting was "knocked away" and fell heavily on Wei Liulang.

Wei Liulang, who was used as a scapegoat, said: "..."

Chu Feifeng snorted coldly: "For the sake of the city lord, I won't bother with you! Go back and practice your martial arts well before coming back!"

Wei Ting and Wei Liulang climbed up in a "woeful" manner.

In the eyes of the servants, the two of them slipped away very quickly and must have gone to complain to the Palace Master of Baihua Palace.

"It's really useless."

"That's right, he's still the Second Young Master, but he can't even beat a steward."

Chu Feifeng looked at the two people's departing backs with a serious expression.

Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, please don't get into any trouble with you and dad.

Where the servants couldn't see, Wei Ting's expression suddenly became serious.

"What happened?"

Wei Liulang asked in a low voice.

Wei Ting frowned and said, "There was a small problem."

Upon hearing that the city lord had arrived, the wet nurse immediately picked up the little boy and handed him over to Madam Ru.

Mrs. Ru went out to greet them, holding the child.

Madam Ji also went out to greet them.

Only Su Xiaoxiao, the Palace Master and Xiaohu were left in the flower hall.

Su Xiaoxiao was applying mosquito ointment from the pharmacy on Xiaohu's head.

"Daddy."

"Sixth uncle, Daddy."

Xiaohu is also a little smart boy. When he saw his stinky daddy was in a bad mood, he was worried that his little butt would get hurt if he rolled on the lawn, so he immediately acted cute.

Su Xiaoxiao and the Palace Master also noticed that something was wrong with Wei Ting's aura.

Su Xiaoxiao gave Xiaohu a piece of honey candy.

Xiaohu licked it with relish.

Wei Ting told the conversation between him and his sister-in-law.

The two had not expected that the matter would involve such a wide range of issues, including Qianji Pavilion and Tianyu Hall.

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully: "Qianji Pavilion is the most neutral sect on the island. It has never had any hostility with our Baihua Palace. Who would have thought that the water is so deep in the dark. But who in the City Lord's Mansion is the mastermind behind this?"

Wei Liulang muttered, "Could it be Xiahou Qing? This is very possible. He is so ambitious that he even arranged for his adopted son to control the Great Zhou royal family. Maybe the incident at Suibei Pass is also related to him."

Wei Ting pondered for a moment and said, "The reason why the Assassin's Alliance agreed to the deal with the King of Southern Xinjiang back then, apart from Xie Jinnian being the middleman, we cannot rule out other reasons."

Su Xiaoxiao understood what he meant: "You mean, the Assassin's Alliance was also involved in the Shattered North Pass incident?"

Wei Ting said seriously: "It's just a guess. After all, the disappearance of my brothers and the capture of my father all happened during the war between Suibei Pass and Beiyan."

Su Xiaoxiao followed Wei Ting's thoughts and reasoned: "I guess the Killer Alliance has nothing to do with the disappearance of my brothers. Otherwise, Sixth Brother should have been recognized long ago after staying in the Killer Alliance dungeon for so long."

The palace master agreed: "Xiaoxiao's words make sense."

Let’s not talk about others for now, Wei Liulang’s characteristics are too obvious - disfigured face, ruined voice, and broken arm.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, "The King of Southern Xinjiang made a deal with the Killer Alliance, letting the Killer Alliance snatch Dad from Helian Ye. If the Killer Alliance hadn't intervened, Dad might have been captured by the mastermind behind the scenes along with my eldest brother. The reason why my third, fourth, and fifth brothers weren't captured was because they all died on the battlefield."

It is hard to say whether it is more miserable to be captured by the King of Southern Xinjiang and used as a puppet, or to fall into the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"By the way, where's Dad?"

Wei Liulang looked around and asked.

Several people shuddered.

Dad is outside!

Xiahou Qing is here too! Wei Ting clenched his fist and said, "Let's take a gamble. The mastermind behind this is not Xiahou Qing."

Wei Liulang asked, "What if it is?"

The Palace Master said, "If that's the case, Xiahou Qing would have already ordered people to be arrested at Baihua Palace."

Xiahou Qing is the island master. He usually tolerates Baihua Palace. Apart from his old feelings for Yun Xi, the reason is that Baihua Palace has never done anything too outrageous.

If someone is really harboring a serious threat to Xiahou Qing, Xiahou Qing will not tolerate it.

The few of them gathered their thoughts and walked out of the house calmly.

At this moment, a magical scene was taking place in the yard: Xiahou Qing was holding his son, Wei Xu was holding his granddaughter, and the two grown men were facing each other, looking at each other's babies.

Madam Ru introduced with a smile: "City Lord, he is Duanmu Qi from Baihua Palace, and that child is the one who was born on the same day as Chen'er, and his name is Xiaobao."

She just heard Yunshuang call her that.

Xiahou Qing looked at Wei Xu, his whole face said: Master Yun's man? Why wear a mask? It's not shameful.

Then he looked at Ji Minglou who was standing beside him with some sympathy.

"Are you Yun Lin's father?"

Xiahou Qing asked.

He asked the question that Ji Minglou had always wanted to ask, and Ji Minglou's ears pricked up.

Wei Xu frowned and was about to say, "Of course I'm not."

Su Xiaoxiao coughed lightly: "Dad! Mom is here!"

The Palace Master was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he said seriously: "Ah, the child's father, have you met City Master Xiahou?"

The child’s father, you’re not wrong to call him that.

He is Xiaoting’s father.

"Dad, let me hold you." Wei Ting walked over quickly and whispered, "Dad, the plan has changed. You have to act it out with the Palace Master's wife. If you fail, you won't be able to leave the City Lord's Mansion today."

Wei Xu's mouth twitched, and he held his precious granddaughter tightly, whispering, "What happened?"

"I'll explain it to you in detail later. You just act first."

Wei Ting wanted to explain a few more things, such as he wouldn't ask me and so on.

After all, in the family, he is the best actor besides his second brother.

The rest of the people are basically from my grandmother's group.

Wei Xu held Wei Xiaobao in his arms and smiled gently at Yun Shuang: "I just met City Lord Xiahou and was about to go find Shuang'er. Xiaobao missed you."

Wei Xiaobao's milk bubbles burst.

She looked confused.

Not to mention her, Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting, and even Wei Liulang were all stunned by the word "Shuang'er".

Is your acting so perfect?

Instantly immersed in the play! The palace master held Xiaobao in her arms and said, "Grandma misses Xiaobao too."

Xiahou Qing had heard about Yun Shuang a long time ago, and he just wanted to confirm it. He was not too surprised, nor did he suspect anything else.

It was Wei Ting who caught his attention: "Are you Yun Lin?"

The Palace Master said calmly, "He is... Duanmu Yun, our youngest son. One takes my surname and the other takes his. Xiaobao is his daughter."

Xiahou Qing asked curiously, "Your daughter-in-law... is the doctor of the Nie family?"

The Palace Master said, "Yes, can't my son marry the female doctor of the Nie family?"

Xiahou Qing said: "As long as you like it."

She is a female doctor, and her status is a bit low. However, Duanmu Yun is not the eldest son, so he does not have to inherit the Baihua Palace, so it doesn't matter if he marries an ordinary person.

Xiahou Qing handed his son to Madam Ru and said, "The feast is about to begin. Let's go to Mingxia Palace."

"Um."

It was rare that the Palace Master didn't show displeasure to Xiahou Qing.

After all, she was Yun Xi's sister, so Xia Hou Qing couldn't help but ask a few questions with concern: "Since you have a husband, why haven't you shown up for so many years?"

Madam Ji smiled and said, "Just now I heard from Palace Master Yun that Hero Duanmu is from outside the island. I wonder where he is from?"

What the hell are you two doing? The palace master secretly had a headache.

Wei Xu said ashamedly: "I am from the Western Jin Dynasty. I came to the island by chance many years ago and met Shuang'er. I was too selfish and insisted that Shuang'er give up everything and go back to the Western Jin Dynasty with me. In the end..."

Having said this, he seemed unwilling to mention that sad past.

He looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I have actually been coming back to the island to make amends to Shuang'er over the years, but I could never find Qianshan Island again. Not long ago, Lin'er suddenly appeared in front of me and recognized my father and me. Only then was I able to return to Qianshan Island again. I have let them down over the years, and I feel very guilty. In the future, I will do my best to make it up to them."

The palace master did not know Wei Xu and thought that Wei Xu was always like this.

Only Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting and Wei Liulang almost popped their eyes out.

Dad, are you such a dramatic person?

Why didn’t I notice it before?

Madam Ji glanced at Ji Minglou, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and said with a smile: "The young master of Baihua Palace left the island a few years ago. It turned out that he went to find his biological father. His filial piety is commendable. Congratulations on finally reuniting your family. You don't have to be separated anymore in the future and can enjoy the happiness of family life."

Wei Xu smiled and said, "Master Ji and Madam Ji have a deep love for each other, and their family happiness must be better than others."

Madam Ji looked at Ji Minglou with a sneer.

A loving couple?

Look, the woman you have been thinking about has already given birth to two sons for another man!

Ji Minglou clenched his fists.

The group entered the Mingxia Palace.

Everyone came forward to congratulate Xiahou Qing and Madam Ru.

"Today is also the full moon celebration of the little daughter of Baihua Palace." Xiahou Qing introduced Wei Xu and others to everyone.

On the second day after the seven major sects attacked Baihua Palace, rumors spread across the island that Yunshuang's man had finally appeared.

Now that the rumors have been confirmed, no one is surprised.

Instead, everyone was surprised to learn that the two had a younger son, and that the younger son married the female doctor of the Nie family.

"Hero Duanmu."

Jiang Guanchao bowed meaningfully to Wei Xu.

This is recognized.

Wei Xu did not feel guilty at all and bowed in return: "Alliance Master Jiang."

"The Master of Qianji Pavilion." Xiahou Qing introduced.

There was also a hint of intrigue in Lou Bufan's eyes: "Master Duanmu."

Wei Xu returned the greeting as usual: "Lou Pavilion Master."

"Second Master, you are here!"

The guard at the door saluted to Xie Jinnian.

Xie Jinnian looked at his adoptive father and others who were surrounded by the crowd, and his eyes fell on Wei Xu.

The guard smiled and said, "That's Hero Duanmu, the biological father of Young Palace Master Yun and Second Young Master Yun! It turns out Young Palace Master Yun has a younger brother!"

Xie Jinnian's eyes moved.

On a round table behind the screen, Wei Liulang asked Wei Ting in a low voice: "Did you find anything?"

Wei Ting said vigilantly: "There are only three people who look at Dad with strange eyes, Lou Bufan, Jiang Guanchao, and Xie Jinnian."

Wei Liulang's hair stood on end: "Xie Jinnian also recognized his father?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Xie Jinnian is very smart, he can't hide it from me."

Wei Ting: "Don't praise other men for their intelligence in front of your husband."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Dad is so smart."

Wei Ting: “…”

Wei Liulang peeked out from the crack in the screen: "Could he be the mastermind behind this?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Not really."

Wei Liulang: "Why?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Intuition."

Wei Ting stared at the huge crowd of guests: "The mastermind behind this is not in Mingxia Palace."

Wei Liulang said: "The banquet is about to start, where will he be?" - On the other side, Dahu and Erhu were playing hide-and-seek outside, and it was Dahu's turn to look for them.

Erhu ran and ran, like a sly little mink, and quickly went into a hole in the wall.

After getting through, he found that this was an orchard, exuding an enticing fruity fragrance.

He looked at the red fruits above his head, swallowed, rolled up his sleeves and started climbing the tree.

Suddenly, a gray-haired, haggard man pushed a wheelchair under the big tree.

A hand as cold and pale as a skeleton suddenly grabbed Erhu's foot.
