The deputy hall master was not so lucky. After smashing the plaque of Tianyu Hall, he fell on the steps in a mess and rolled down in a humiliating manner.
Just as the plaque was about to fall to the ground, a tall and mighty figure suddenly appeared in Tianyu Hall and hung the plaque back exactly where it belonged.
He landed in front of the deputy hall master, staring at the carriage of Baihua Palace with sharp eyes.
"Master..."
The deputy hall master covered his chest and cried out with difficulty.
The man said coldly: "Why don't you help the deputy hall master up?"
The disciple suddenly came to his senses, quickly walked down the stairs and helped up the injured deputy hall master.
Wei Ting: "He is——"
The Palace Master answered his son: "The Master of Tianyu Hall, Ji Minglou."
Ji Minglou said in a deep voice: "Tianyu Hall and Baihua Palace have nothing to do with each other, why are you going to Tianyu Hall to cause trouble today?"
The Palace Master said sarcastically, "It's a good saying that one should keep out of the way. Ji Minglou, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for saying this? How many things have your Tianyu Hall done to offend Baihua Palace? Do you want me to list them one by one? Or are you too old and have a bad memory? Otherwise, you should abdicate immediately and let someone else be the Hall Master!"
Wei Ting gave the Palace Master's wife a thumbs up.
Ling Yun looked at Wei Ting speechlessly.
Ji Minglou was relatively calm, unlike the deputy palace master who was provoked and lost his composure by just a few words.
He asked sternly, "If the Palace Master of Baihua Palace is here to settle old scores, just come after me. Do you want to fight here or somewhere else?"
The palace master wanted to start a war immediately.
Wei Ting whispered, "Mom, we are here to look for someone. If we start fighting, we won't be allowed in for a while."
The palace master woke up as if from a dream: "I almost forgot the important matter!"
She coughed lightly and said in a very cold tone, "You people from Tianyu Hall like to bring up old scores, but I'm not that petty."
The deputy hall master was furious.
Who is digging up old scores?
The Palace Master waved his folding fan and said, "Just last night, someone broke into my Baihua Palace. After I caught him, he admitted that he was a disciple of your Tianyu Hall. It's a pity that he escaped this morning. I came to your house to ask for an explanation!"
The deputy hall master gritted his teeth and said, "You are talking nonsense! When did our Tianyu Hall send anyone to your Baihua Palace? You are clearly accusing Tianyu Hall?!"
The Palace Master said, "Whether it is a false accusation or not, we will know it after we investigate. Ji Minglou, do you dare to let me go in and search?"
Ji Minglou said, "How do I know what the disciple you are talking about looks like? What if you just grab someone and say he is an assassin?"
Wei Ting took out a portrait from his arms and handed it to the palace master.
The palace master's eyes lit up, his son is really smart!
She threw the portrait out of the car window.
Ji Minglou caught it with his bare hands, unfolded it and took a look: "There is no such person in Tianyu Hall."
The palace master said arrogantly: "Of course you said no."
The deputy hall master snorted coldly, "Hall master, don't pay attention to her! We in Tianyu Hall are upright and have nothing to fear. We didn't do it, so we didn't do it! If she really lets me in to search, it will seem like Tianyu Hall is afraid of her if the news gets out!"
The Palace Master said sarcastically, "Oh, you are so afraid, could it be that you sent this assassin? You deliberately tried to sow discord between me and Tianyu Hall, could it be that you wanted to use me to get rid of Ji Minglou so that you can become the real hall master?"
The deputy hall master choked with anger: "You——"
Ji Minglou took a deep look at the carriage and said, "Okay, I'll let you search it."
The deputy hall master gritted his teeth and said, "Palace Master!"
Ji Minglou ignored his obstruction and continued to say to the Palace Master: "But if you don't find it..."
The Palace Master said: "I will apologize to you myself."
Ji Minglou turned sideways and waved to the disciple guarding the gate.
Disciples, please move aside.
The Palace Master said to Wei Ting, "Son, let's get off the car."
Wei Ting paused and put on the mask casually.
Although no one knew him on the island, it was still better to take an extra precaution just to be on the safe side.
Ji Minglou looked at the young man who appeared beside the Palace Master: "He is..."
The Palace Master said, "My son."
Baihua Palace has no dealings with Tianyu Hall and the City Lord's Mansion.
Ling Yun rarely appeared in public, so Ji Minglou had never seen him.
The palace master snorted and didn't explain.
Ji Minglou could sense that there was another person in the carriage, but the other person didn't get out, so he didn't dare to lift the curtain to see who was inside.
Ji Minglou brought the two of them to the training ground of Tianyu Hall and called out all the disciples in the hall.
The Palace Master asked, "Are all the disciples here?"
Ji Minglou said: "They are all here."
The Palace Master asked Wei Ting: "Son, have you found it?"
Wei Ting compared the portrait seriously and said, "Mom, it's not here."
The Palace Master waved his folding fan and asked nonchalantly, "Could it be that you have hidden the person?"
The deputy hall master covered his aching chest and said, "You people in Baihua Palace should not go too far!"
Wei Ting pointed to the east and said, "Mom, there are people over there."
The Palace Master's face darkened: "You really have someone hidden!"
Ji Minglou frowned and said, "That's my wife's yard. There are only some maids and housemaids cleaning the house."
The Palace Master and the Overlord looked unconvinced.
Ji Minglou sighed unhappily: "Forget it, just follow me."
Ji Minglou went to tell Madam Ji about the assassin.
Madam Ji said calmly, "In that case, let them come in and search. I want to see what kind of living person they can find."
The palace master took Wei Ting and searched each room.
If we were looking for something, we might be worried that they would frame us, so we would have to send someone to follow us, and definitely not a living person.
Therefore, Madam Ji waited in the yard with confidence.
When Wei Ting passed by an accounting office, he happened to run into a woman who was coming out with an account book.
Wei Ting was startled: "Sister-in-law?"
Chu Feifeng shuddered, raised his eyes and looked at him, eyes full of disbelief: "Xiao Qi?"
She looked around quickly, freed one hand, pulled Wei Ting into the accounting office, and closed the door.
She raised her hand and touched Wei Ting's cheek: "Xiao Qi, is it really you?"
When Chu Feifeng married into the Wei family, Wei Ting was only eleven years old.
Wei Ting has a cold relationship with Madam Wei, and it is Chu Feifeng who has been taking care of him.
It is not an exaggeration to say that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother.
Chu Feifeng looked at the more mature Wei Ting, feeling both relieved and excited: "How did you find this place?"
Wei Ting said, "I saw my sister-in-law at the gate of Qianji Pavilion that day, so I came here to look for her. Sister-in-law, how have you been these days? Why did you come to the island? And why did you enter Tianyu Hall?"
Chu Feifeng said: "It's a long story."
Wei Ting asked, "Did your sister-in-law get arrested?"
Chu Feifeng shook her head: "No, I approached the wife of the head of Tianyu Hall on my own. Now I am her manager and I am highly valued by her."
Seeing that Wei Ting was staring at her, she had no choice but to explain clearly.
"After I left the Wei family, I didn't know where to go, so I wandered around and accidentally met people from Qianshan Island. When they mentioned the persecution of your father and your brothers, I realized that there was more than one person behind the scenes, and the forces of Qianshan Island were also involved. So I found a way to follow them to the island."
It turned out that the sister-in-law was trying to investigate the truth of what happened back then.
Wei Ting said seriously: "Sister-in-law, my brother is not dead, he is back."
Chu Feifeng was stunned.
Do you still have monthly tickets? Why not vote for the active palace owner?
