Qi Fei responded crisply and had a maid lead the way, heading towards the Shura Courtyard.
The courtyard where Shura lived was not far from the old lady's courtyard, and it was considered a very nice courtyard in the Shu family mansion.
However, compared to his status in the entire Yun Kingdom, this courtyard is not very impressive.
As a renowned general of the Yun Kingdom, Shura rose to fame at a young age and has remained so for over a decade.
His reputation as the Cold-Faced King of Hell is known throughout the Yun Kingdom, deterring other countries from taking any action.
The Xiu family also rose to prominence in the capital because of Xiu Luo.
Shura has become the most prominent figure among the younger generation.
The phrase many people hear most often is, "Look at Shura, he's so young yet already holds a high position and wields military power, and look at you..."
You can't compare; if you do, you'll feel like you gave birth to some unlucky thing.
The maidservant led Qifei to the Shura Courtyard, where they bumped into a servant. The maidservant smiled sweetly at the servant and said, "Brother Xiaosong, this is the old lady's sister."
Xiaosong was taken aback when he saw Qifei, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes. He quickly cupped his hands to Qifei and asked, "Sister, does the old lady have any instructions?"
Qi Fei smiled and said, "The old lady has woken up and wants to see the second master. Please inform him."
"Who's outside?" Before Xiaosong could speak, Shura's voice came from inside the house.
Xiao Song quickly replied, "Reporting to Master, it was the old lady's sister who came to deliver the message."
"Let her in." Shura's voice was deep. Qifei composed herself and followed Xiaosong into the house.
Shura was writing when he saw someone come in, but he didn't stop. He just said, "Wait a moment."
Seeing that he hadn't finished writing, Qifei watched intently.
When Shura writes, his body is very straight, lacking the elegance of a scholar, but instead exuding a murderous aura.
It's like facing a massive army, with the faint sound of clashing swords still audible.
Qifei had never seen a Shura like this before. In her previous life, although Shura was ruthless and decisive in killing, that was in a peaceful era, and Shura was always gentle in front of her.
The Asura in this world might have a stronger murderous aura because he was a military general.
When she's not speaking or smiling, her expression is quite intimidating, making people afraid to look directly at her.
Many people in the Xiu family are afraid of Xiu Luo, always feeling that he has an aura of authority even without anger.
As a martial arts practitioner, Shura was able to sense Qifei watching him even while he was writing.
According to past practice, if any maid dared to look at him like that, he would have her thrown out long ago.
However, he felt very good today, and this naturally radiated from his writing.
After finishing his writing, Shura was quite satisfied with his work. He then looked up at Qifei and asked, "What is it?"
Qi Fei bowed, a smile playing on her lips, and said in a clear, crisp voice, "Second Master, the Old Madam has woken up and heard that you visited her. She sent me to deliver a message that she wishes to see you now."
"Then let's go." Shura's gaze swept over Qifei's face, and he nodded.
Qifei lagged slightly behind Xiuluo by a few steps, walking side by side with Xiaosong.
Then she heard Xiaosong whisper to her, "Sister, why haven't I seen you in front of the old lady before?"
Qi Fei smiled and said, "You can just call me Qi Fei."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I was taken in by the old lady in Anling, and that's how I ended up working for her."
“No wonder.” Xiao Song suddenly realized, and secretly glanced at Qi Fei, his face turning bright red. “My name is Xiao Song. I run errands for Second Master. If you need anything, just come to me.”
Qi Fei smiled slightly, but did not answer. Her gaze was fixed on Shura walking ahead.
Although the two were speaking softly, Shura had amazing hearing and could hear everything clearly.
Qi Fei? Shura lowered his eyes, but he didn't know which two words it was.
Shura took long strides, and Qifei could only hurry to keep up. While she was thinking to herself, she noticed that Shura's pace suddenly slowed down. She didn't notice and bumped into Shura's back.
"Second Master, I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." Qi Fei rubbed her head, even though she was in pain from the bump, she still apologized to him.
What a wicked society!
Shura's back was as hard as a brick, and Qifei felt like she was about to get a bump on her forehead.
"Let me see." As soon as Shura turned around, he saw Qifei covering her head, probably because of the pain, with tears in her eyes, which made his heart tremble for no reason.
As Qifei hesitated, Shura unceremoniously took her hand away.
A red mark appeared on his forehead, and Shura couldn't help but mutter, "So delicate."
It turned red from just a bump; her skin is far too delicate.
Qi Fei didn't hear what Xiu Luo said, so she could only look at him with blank and innocent eyes, and slightly raised her face, "What did you say, Second Master?"
Her small, delicate face, long, curled eyelashes, and bright red lips stood before Shura, giving him a strange feeling.
"It's nothing." Shura felt a little awkward for once and wanted to reach out and touch her forehead, only to realize that he was still holding Qifei's hand.
Feigning composure, she released Qifei's hand. "Let's go, Grandmother must be getting impatient."
Shura turned around and continued walking forward, but this time he walked much slower than before.
If you look closely, you'll notice that his earlobes are a little red, but it's not very noticeable.
Xiao Song looked at Qi Fei with sympathy. Qi Fei had bumped into the Second Master earlier, which had almost scared him to death.
Fortunately, the Second Master didn't hold it against him.
You should know that Second Master has a very direct temper. If anyone dares to bump into him like that, that person will definitely be kicked several meters away.
Today, Second Master was unusually good-tempered and didn't get angry at Qi Fei.
Upon arriving at the old lady's courtyard, a series of greetings had already alerted her. Her voice came from inside the house, "Is that Luo'er?"
Shura then quickly walked into the house, and knelt down to greet the old lady, saying, "Greetings to Grandmother."
"My dear grandson, come quickly and let your grandmother see you." The old lady's eyes were full of love, and she told Xiu Luo to get up and come to her side.
Shura got up as instructed, and let the old lady look him up and down many times before saying, "You've lost weight."
"Grandmother, it's been too long since you've seen me." Shura chuckled; he had remained in the same state all along, and in reality, he hadn't changed much.
However, the old lady loved her grandson dearly, and she felt that her grandson had lost a lot of weight, which must be because he had been mistreated while she was away.
The old lady looked at Xiu Luo with heartache, took Xiu Luo's hand and wiped away her tears, "When Grandmother isn't home, they won't let you eat your fill, poor child."
After crying for a long time while holding onto Xiu Luo, Qi Fei still whispered a word of comfort, "Madam, if you feel sorry for Second Master, let him sit down and talk to you."
The old lady then realized that she had been holding Xiu Luo's hand and making him stand for a long time, so she quickly asked him to sit down.
"Alas, I'm getting senile, I can't do anything right now." The old lady sighed, looking at Shura with tears in her eyes.
