Chapter 966 Liao Chen Qing Feng's Child-Raising Diary (Twins)
After a moment of stunned silence, the two of them simultaneously looked up, first at the sky, then at their surroundings.
Since Master Qingfeng came with the intention of killing Chen, in order not to harm the innocent, he relentlessly pursued him all the way until he left the inner city and arrived at this abandoned wilderness before he finally made a move against Chen.
While it's not to say that the area is completely deserted for miles around, it is certainly sparsely populated.
"Where did the child come from?" Master Qingfeng asked, puzzled.
Liao Chen looked up at the bright moon, a hint of confusion flashing in his alluring peach blossom eyes. He pointed to the vast and boundless sky: "It looks like it fell from the sky."
"How could that be?" Master Qingfeng said calmly.
Even if knives rained down from the sky, a child wouldn't fall.
He stood up, holding the child.
"What are you doing?" Liao Chen asked him.
He looked around warily: "Someone must have been here just now."
After saying this, he ignored Liao Chen and planned to take the child to look for him nearby, but Liao Chen called him back.
"You old fox." Liao Chen raised an eyebrow and glanced at the way he was holding the child. "That's not how you hold a child."
Master Qingfeng looked at his posture while holding the baby and really couldn't understand where he had gone wrong.
Liao Chen complained, "Are you holding a book? Who holds a child by tucking them under both arms?"
Xiao Cong, who was trapped between the legs, had a look of utter despair on his face, as if he were expressing his dissatisfaction.
He looks like a sage, so how come his baby-holding skills are so bad?
Master Qingfeng ignored Xiao Cong's disdainful look, but still asked Liao Chen, "Then how should I hug you?"
Liao Chen looked at him with disbelief and sighed, "Daoist Master, may I ask how you grew up?"
She has face blindness, terrible sense of direction, and can't even hold a baby.
He clicked his tongue twice, calmly stood up amidst the powerful killing intent of Daoist Qingfeng, and demonstrated: "Watch closely, such a small child should be held horizontally more often."
With his long arms and large hands, he could easily hold Xiao Yan in his arms with just one side.
Xiao Yan lay in his arms, leaning against his strong and warm chest, hearing his powerful heartbeat, which was similar to her father's, and felt a sense of security that she did not reject.
"Wow~" Xiao Yan smiled at Chen.
Liao Chen raised an eyebrow smugly, glanced at Xiao Yan, and then looked at Daoist Qingfeng: "See? When you hold the child comfortably, the child will smile at you."
Master Qingfeng lacked experience in raising children, and it took him several glances to barely learn the same way of holding Chen.
"Why isn't he smiling?" Master Qingfeng frowned as he looked at the aloof Xiao Cong.
Liao Chen said with a half-smile, "Maybe he doesn't like you?"
Whether you like it or not doesn't matter, but hearing it coming from Chen's mouth this time makes you want to kill him even more.
"Want to continue?" Liao Chen asked with a smile.
When it comes to being irritating, Liao Chen and Marquis Xuanping are truly evenly matched.
Master Qingfeng gave him a cold glare, then turned to find the mysterious person who had brought the child there.
However, after searching the entire vicinity, he couldn't find even a single stranger.
Liao Chen's efforts were not in vain; he sat in place, teasing the little guy in his arms.
The little guy laughs easily when teased; he's so funny.
He was not surprised to see that Master Qingfeng had returned empty-handed.
If the child didn't fall from the sky, but was actually thrown to them by someone, regardless of the other person's purpose, they didn't notice when the child came, and naturally couldn't track them down when they left.
Liao Chen looked at the small medicine box on the ground and said, "Instead of looking for people, you should take a look at this box. It seems to have fallen with the two children."
Master Qingfeng knelt down on one knee. The moonlight at the end of the month was too dim, so he took out a tinderbox.
Liao Chen watched as he blew on the tinderbox above the child's head, and his brow twitched: "Hey, be careful, don't burn the child!"
Master Qingfeng paused for a moment: "Oh."
He turned his head and blew on the tinderbox from a different direction.
Xiao Cong's small body was trembling.
They also seemed to sense that this adult was too dangerous.
"Never mind, I'll do it." Liao Chen got up and walked over, taking the tinder from his hand. He used to raise Jing Kong, and one Jing Kong was equivalent to ten children. Rounding it up, he was already the father of ten children.
Holding the child and carrying the tinderbox were not mutually exclusive.
By the light of the fire, the two could see what the small medicine box looked like.
"It's just an ordinary box," said Master Qingfeng.
This place is nothing like the secret chamber of the Imperial Preceptor's Hall, which is spotless.
The small medicine box was lying in the dust on the ground, becoming dirty and grimy, so much so that Chen didn't recognize it as Gu Jiao's box for a moment.
"Open it and take a look," Liao Chen said.
Master Qingfeng used his other hand to open the box.
An unbelievable thing happened: it was like a fake box, and it couldn't be pried open at all.
Even when internal energy is used, it is still the same.
Liao Chen handed the tinderbox to Daoist Qingfeng: "Here, I'll give it a try."
Master Qingfeng expressed his dissatisfaction with Liao Chen's actions: "Do you think you are more powerful than me?"
Liao Chen chuckled and said, "It's not what I think, it's the truth."
Then Chen got slapped in the face, slap slap slap slap!
He scoffed coldly, "A broken box!"
Master Qingfeng said, "Now there's not even the last clue left."
Liao Chen carefully observed the two children's faces and pondered, "Don't you think they look somewhat familiar?"
"Hmm?" Master Qingfeng couldn't tell.
"Forget it, it's pointless to ask you," Liao Chen said. "Let's find an inn first. There are a lot of mosquitoes at night. If you don't rest, the other two will also need a peaceful place to sleep."
"Should we report this to the authorities?" Master Qingfeng suggested.
Liao Chen sighed, "The government office is far from here, and besides, there's no one to take care of such a young child if we send him to the government office."
Master Qingfeng remained silent.
Liao Chen said, "If you don't want to go to the inn, you can give me the child. I can manage on my own."
Master Qingfeng hit the nail on the head: "You're trying to slip away again."
The last time they abandoned him in Shengdu, he searched for several months. Then they abandoned him in Zhaoguo, and he searched for several months again.
He's not going to fall for his tricks this time, no matter what.
Liao Chen waved his hand: "Whatever you say."
After saying that, he carried Xiao Yan and walked forward calmly, teasing her as he went.
Xiao Yan burst into laughter.
Master Qingfeng frowned, looked down at the little one in his arms, and said with some confusion, "Why aren't you smiling?"
"Take the box with you." He said, watching Chen's retreating figure. "Perhaps we'll find some new clues later."
Liao Chen had no choice but to turn back and pick up the small medicine box.
The two went out onto the street.
This is the outer city. Although it is not as bustling as the inner city, it is still quite lively.
A handsome monk and a Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly wisdom were walking side by side in the bustling crowd, each carrying a child, attracting the attention of countless people.
Are monks and Taoist priests all the same family?
And they raised two kids?
What an earth-shattering, unprecedented event!
Liao Chen doesn't care what others think of him, but someone else might.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hunted down for years just because he was observed birdwatching once.
Liao Chen turned his head and glanced at the Taoist priest who was pretending to be calm, suppressed a laugh, and went into the inn next door.
He looked at the Taoist priest who had followed him: "Two rooms?"
Master Qingfeng said in a chilling tone, "Don't even think about it."
Liao Chen said to the innkeeper, "One superior room."
The innkeeper stared blankly at the two people and the child in their arms for a long time before he came to his senses: "Ah, upper rooms, yes, we have them!"
He called over a waiter who led the two men to the top-class room.
After entering the room, Liao Chen first placed the dusty little medicine box on the table, and then gently placed the little guy in his arms on the soft bed.
After doing all that, he stepped towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Master Qingfeng asked in a cold voice.
Liao Chen turned around, looked at the two children, and said, "I'll go get them some food. Don't worry, I won't run away."
Master Qingfeng said, "You have a criminal record and a bad reputation, I don't trust you."
Liao Chen said, "Then why don't you go?"
Master Qingfeng said logically and with evidence, "Even if I leave, you will still run away."
Liao Chen sighed, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Master Qingfeng said sternly, "Give me your Shadow Token."
"Hiss—" Liao Chen gasped. The Shadow Token was the most precious thing he possessed, and he could not easily hand it over to others.
But if I don't pay him, this guy is too difficult to deal with.
"Never mind, here you go." Liao Chen took out the Shadow Token from his pocket and casually tossed it to the other party.
The other party easily accepted: "Alright, you can go now."
Liao Chen shook his head and went downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat.
The two babies looked to be about five months old and could eat some fine rice cereal. He went to the kitchen and asked someone to cook two small bowls of rice cereal. He also ordered a few delicate and delicious side dishes and asked the waiter to send them to the main room later.
He carried the rice porridge upstairs on a tray, and just as he reached the door, he bumped into Xuanyuan Qi, who was walking from the end of the corridor.
The father and son were startled.
"father?"
"Zheng'er?"
Xuanyuan Qi came out of the city on business and had just secretly met with an important person at the inn. He did not expect to run into his son, whom he had not seen for many days, here.
"Zheng'er, what are you doing here?" he asked curiously, his gaze falling on the tray. "What's on it?"
Before Liao Chen could answer, the waiter came over with a bucket of hot water and said to Liao Chen, "Sir, shall we bring the hot water you and the other guest ordered to your room now?"
Xuan Yuanqi's body trembled: "You...you checked into a hotel with someone?"
"What you're saying..." Liao Chen slapped his forehead: "Don't misunderstand, he's a Taoist priest."
Xuanyuan Qi was startled again: "You and a Taoist priest... booked a room together?!"
Liao Chen gestured for him to look at the two small bowls of porridge on his tray, and said with a look of utter despair, "It's because of the child..."
Xuanyuan Qi's body trembled three times: "You even have a child?!"
"Father!" Liao Chen was speechless. "It's not the kind of relationship you're thinking of!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Qingfeng came out with the Shadow Token in his hand.
Xuanyuan Qi didn't look at the face, but first saw the token. He was instantly struck dumb, and roared, "You gave away your family heirloom???"
