Xiao Feng wore a stupified expression on his face, he couldn't understand why his uncle would suddenly attack him and then back off.
Was he having a personality disorder? No... how can that be...
In fact, it was not Xiao Feng alone who thought of this, even the clan elders didn't understand well his behavior at this time. It was true that they were coveting the assets of the clan and they mostly hated the pair of Xiao Feng and his father, but they do not have the courage to oppose them in broad daylight.
Seeing the dumbfounded expression on Xiao Feng's face, he smirked and said in a low tone.
" Haha... Don't be mad little Feng, I was just happy seeing you after a long time, As for the attack earlier, it was just a test to see whether you learned anything from the academy, I hope you will forgive this foolish uncle of yours... "
Xiao Feng was still having some doubts in his heart, but considering the fact that his uncle was always like this since he was a kid, he decided to let it go.
" hem..."
And he nearly forgot what he actually came for, if not for Qianli's little cough interrupting their moment of silence.
" That's right... Uncle, I want to "
" Don't be hasty, I'll explain everything later on. For now, go and rest, as for your friend... "
He slightly turned his head and quietly tried to asses Qianli
" She is my master "
" Your ... master? "
The Grand Elder was a little surprised by his response, but he didn't ponder long on this subject
" Excuse me for my rudeness, thank you for taking care of little Feng all this time. I'll assign some maids to help you accommodate on. "
" Thank you for your concern, but that won't be necessary. We will stay at my house and we will come back later. Let's go, Xiao Feng. "
The pair turned back and left the hall as swiftly as possible, but the grand elder didn't return to his seat till a long time...
----------------------------------------
On the way out, Xiao Feng noticed the worried expression on Qianli's face and said
" Master, why did we... "
" Your uncle... The new patriarch... Since when did he study the arrays? "
Xiao Feng was dumbfounded by this question, he answered
" Master, he... he doesn't know anything about arrays or formations... he is just a martial art master who cultivates alone, as for his attribute.... he doesn't have... "
Qianli was surprised for a moment, she stopped walking and turned her head towards Xiao Feng
" He... doesn't have an attribute? How is it possible then... "
She seemed lost in thoughts, the next moment she took his hand and dragged him faster to her house.
----------------------------------------
It's truly weird....
The patriarch couldn't really shake the feeling he had earlier when he met Qianli.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
It's like her soul is as deep as the vast oceans, I couldn't fathom her strength at all...
When he attacked earlier Xiao Feng it gave him a rough approximation of his strength, he wanted to test Qianli too, but the moment his gaze landed on her eyes, his instincts were screaming to not do anything foolish
It's as if a huge monstrous beast was hiding underneath her skin...
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the 3 brothers and ordered them to follow Qianli and Xiao Feng to the house.
Relunctly, they accepted this mission and left soon afterward.
----------------------------------------
Back to the small house, Qianli was busy preparing some alchemy preparation.
Ah... If only I had brought more ingredients from the luminary palace before my descent... It's no use lamenting now. I will get them back one day...
After the decoction was prepared, she poured it two cups of tea and gave one of them to Xiao Feng
" Drink this and let your body relax "
Xiao Feng wanted to question her some more, but he trusted her unconditionally, furthermore, the fragrance from this tea was truly exotic.
Soon after, he felt his entire body relaxing, his eyes closed for one second, but that was enough. .
When he opened his eyes, the senary changed. He was alone on the room with his shirt drenched in sweat, and Qianli wasn't there anymore
" What in the... "
He got up, and went to the kitchen but found no one there, then panicking he went outside the house.
" Master where are... "
He stopped his tracks and didn't utter a single word after watching the scene before him.
There, was Qianli's clothes near the shore of the lac, and as for her she was bathing under the moonlight and the cyan bamboos gave an ethereal feeling as if it was a moon goddess.
She turned back and said
" Oh... you're awake..."
Then she swam back to the shore to get dressed, Xiao Feng intoxicated by the feeling nearly forgot to turn back ashamed.
F***k, this is the second time already... Can you please have some consideration for yourself, if not for me, please... I'd rather get hit by a tribulation right now than watching you each time getting naked in front of me... I'm not a eunuch... ok? Even Buddha himself will turn to a mad devil if he was in my place...
After wearing her clothes, she came back near him and said
" You need to take a shower too... You stink... "
" .... "
Xiao Feng couldn't respond, since the first time he met her till now he knew that this master of his wasn't bound by common sense. He could only nod desperately and try to hide his desires in front of her.
----------------------------------------
Back at the house, she told him what happened earlier when he lost consciousness.
Apparently, the tea fragrance that he drank earlier was a decoction made to open the sea of memories.
That way, she could penetrate his consciousness and travel back to his memories.
" I investigated about your uncle, and from what I've gathered it seems that... "
The tone of her voice changed coldly
" Your uncle has been working with a formation master... Furthermore, this master has done a taboo experience on the body of your uncle "
Xiao Feng didn't understand exactly the words of Qianli, nonetheless when she mentioned the word "taboo" , it meant surely nothing but bad omen.
" Anyway, there is nothing we can do tonight, sleep well. Tomorrow we will investigate this after we go back to the city lord's mansion "
Xiao Feng nodded.
----------------------------------------
Back at the city lord's mansion, the 3 brothers came back to report.
The new patriarch who was waiting impatiently said
" So... What did you find out? "
The 3 brothers didn't look at him directly at all, they kept silence and afraid to even speak.
In the end, he became enraged and shouted loudly
" SPEAK YOU MORONS! "
Finally, the third brother opened his mouth and said in a low tone
" They were.... having an indecent act... my lord "
" .... "
The patriarch was dumbfounded
The first brother sighed and recounted what he saw.
When they arrived at the location of the house, they were prepared for any trap. After all, the first time it was difficult for them to escape alive. And as for the second time she herself came with that mad dog attacking their mansion...
But this time they didn't find anything...
There were at first skeptical why, till they peaked at them from the open windows and saw them both lying unconscious on the floor hugging each other intimately. The cups of tea near them gave the visitors a feeling that they may have drunk until they passed out.
Qianli then opened her eyes slowly and woke up, this gave the brothers a moment for them to hide near the cyan bamboos at the shore of the lake.
No need to tell, that they watched here getting up and walking to the shore, then stripped naked and went to the lac.
Fortunately, the third "idiot" woke them up from their trans when he said
" ... should we also report this to the patriarch? "
" ... "
" ... "
Then, they went back to the mansion.
After reporting in, they left the patriarch palm facing.
Oh dear brother.... how did you put up with these 3 morons for so many years...
