Professional Father - Chapter53

Xie Lige was satisfied to see Jia Xu accept the red silk,

She patted the latter's shoulder very intimately,

It was completely like a parent entrusting their child to a teacher,

Full of sincerity, "I'll leave Fengxian to you."

Jia Xu only felt a pain in his shoulder,

It was as if his bones could not bear the weight, and a soreness spread from the inside out,

Just as he was about to rub it..,

The big hand once again patted his shoulder with the sound of the wind. There was only a "Crack" sound,

His shoulder lost its intuition.

"Hiss!"

Jia Xu frowned and pressed on his shoulder. As soon as he touched his shoulder, he immediately knew that his bones were dislocated.

The cracking sound of the dislocated bones was very loud,

Xie Lige was very close to Jia Xu, so he naturally heard it,

His body stiffened reflexively, and his right hand stopped in mid-air, neither moving up nor down.

Did he break the bone from the slap?

Xie Lige was still a little drunk in his daze, but he actually woke up from the shock,

Some..,

He immediately lowered his head to check on Jia Xu's condition,

He asked a series of hurried questions, "Are You Okay?"

Lü Bu was also frightened by this series of situations. He, who was originally watching the show coldly, saw Jia Xu being patted weakly, making a crisp sound,

His foster father, who was opposite him, also had a nervous expression on his face. He immediately stood up straight, and his expression slowly began to become serious.

Lü Bu put down the drumstick in his hand, raised his foot, and walked to Jia Xu's side,

He was ready to ask what had happened.

Who knew..,

He heard another crisp sound in his ear.

Lü Bu raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound,

Jia Xu's expression was very calm as he comforted the anxious Xie Lige, indicating that he was fine. After a while, he seemed to feel that someone was coming. He raised his gaze and met Lü Bu's gaze.

Jia Xu smiled as he looked at the expressionless but worried expression in his eyes. He knew that the child was worried about him, so he shook his head and said comfortingly, "Little General, don't worry. I'm fine!"

Speaking of which, Jia Xu was also quite miserable. As the victim, not only did he have to comfort the culprit, who was drunk and could not think straight, but it was not enough to successfully comfort the other party. He could not let go of the proud little Lion, who had discovered his abnormality, and had to be comforted as well.

Lü Bu frowned and pointed out the truth, "You're too weak!"

His adoptive father had broken his bones with a single slap. Moreover, because he was drunk, he did not use too much strength. However, even with such a delicate and weak body, a certain someone was still injured. Lu Bu saw his thin appearance and lowered his head to look at his own claws. He suspected that if he used a bit more strength, he would be able to kill this person.

So, what was the purpose of his entanglement with this guy?

Such doubts suddenly flashed through Lu Bu's mind. Even he himself had to admit that he was doubting his own intelligence at that moment. He could clearly finish off the opponent in one move, so why did he have to go through so much trouble to trick the opponent?

With this thought in mind, Lü Bu could not help but look up at Jia Xu, who was opposite him. He saw the green-robed scholar calmly twist his hand upward, and the bone returned to its original position. He raised his right hand and tried to pinch it, but he did not find any abnormalities.

Jia Xu said in a very apologetic tone, "General, I may not be able to participate in the happy occasion of the generals."

Xie Lige saw Jia Xu skillfully setting the bone and was surprised when she heard the latter's apologetic words. She remembered that Jia Xu was in this state because of her. She immediately felt embarrassed and waved her hand, "Sir, don't think too much. Let's leave it at that. You can rest at ease and recuperate. I will get the doctor to take a look at you later."

After all, Jia Xu was not a medical professional. It was better to be cautious when it came to major matters like fractures.

When Jia Xu heard Xie Lige's words, he knew that he did not have to participate in the embarrassing event. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more genuine, "Thank you for your concern again, general."

"There's no need to be so polite."

Xie Lige shook his head, turned around, and returned to the crowd. Because of Lü Bu's shout, he thought that something bad had happened and immediately rushed over, causing the loading bar to stop. Now, he had to restart it again.

When he reached the bottom of the pillar, Xie Lige looked at the exhausted people at his feet with disdain. They were still weak. He looked at the system interface and saw that the loading bar had already started. He immediately turned around and shouted at Lü Bu, "Fengxian, beat the drum!"

Lü Bu looked at the smiling Jia Xu with a puzzled expression. His intuition told him that things were not as simple as they seemed. How could it be that his adoptive father came to invite him and patted him on the shoulder a few times when he was happy? This person just happened to have an injured shoulder. There was no such coincidence in the world. Lü Bu was more inclined to believe that Jia Xu had planned this from the beginning.

After a few months of being master and disciple, Jia Xu could not help but know Lü Bu's little habits like the back of his hand. The countless schemes between them also made Lü Bu have a deeper understanding of how black-hearted his master was.

Based on his past experience, Lu Bu believed that Jia Xu will definitely be able to disguise himself as a broken bone to escape this disaster.

The possibility was not low.

Just as Lü Bu lowered his head to think, he heard Xie Lige asking him to beat the drum. He put down his thoughts and stood behind the drum again. He picked up the drumstick and continued to beat the drum.

The sound of the drum began to reverberate in the hall. Many generals rested for a while and then joined the Yangko team again.

"Chi!"

Jia Xu tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and skillfully fixed his injured shoulder. His shoulder still hurt a little, but it was much better than before.

After fixing his shoulder, Jia Xu saw Lü Bu looking at him suspiciously. Even though he had returned to the place where he started to beat the drum, his expression was still suspicious. He knew that his plan had most likely been discovered. He suddenly wanted to tease him.

He followed Lü Bu in a few steps. In order to prevent Xie Lige from suddenly coming down from the field, he hid his figure in the shadow under the pillar.

Lü Bu's hands did not stop moving. He caught a glimpse of Jia Xu following behind him. When he saw the weasel-like smile on Jia Xu's face, he immediately pursed his lips and said very indifferently, "Congratulations, sir, for getting what you want."

Lü Bu's original suspicion disappeared when he saw Jia Xu following behind him. His face suddenly darkened, and his mood became worse than before. He was fooled by this person.

Jia Xu was not frightened at all when he heard Lü Bu's affirmation. It was as if he had already guessed that Lü Bu would know his plan. He nodded with a smile. As for the sarcastic words, he did not take them to heart. On the contrary, he even had the mood to praise Lü Bu's quick reaction after escaping a disaster. "Little general, you are really smart!"

Lü Bu: "…"

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"If you continue to be arrogant, I will tell father the truth."

Jia Xu blinked his eyes innocently and immediately shut his mouth. He put on an expression as if he did not say anything just now. He smiled and looked at Lü Bu who was depressed.

"Oh!"

Lü Bu said, "Did you break the bone yourself?"

Jia Xu shook his head, "No, I just saw the general coming over and pushed the boat with the current." He answered very quickly. It seemed like he did not want to lead Lü Bu to a life and death struggle.

When Lü Bu heard such a quick answer, he thought that Jia Xu had changed. He opened his eyes and looked to the side. He saw Jia Xu looking at the people who were dancing with relish.

"Hmph!"

Lü Bu snorted coldly. He seemed a little dissatisfied, but he did not ask Xie Lige to come back. The drumstick in his hand did not stop beating the drum.

They partied all night.

The next morning, the morning sun shone on the entire general's residence. In the hall, the general in black armor and white feathers stood up shakily from the pile of corpses. He first looked around and glanced at the sleeping faces of the generals next to him. When he saw Lü Bu lying on the drum under a pillar in the corner, he paused for a moment. He could not help but soften his gaze. When he looked behind him, he saw Jia Xu leaning on the pillar and sleeping.

Xie Lige raised his eyebrows and looked at his strategist. He began to look at him from head to toe. His gaze paused for a moment on Jia Xu's shoulder that was bound by a cloth strip. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. How did Jia Xu get injured? Just as he was about to go forward and ask, the dusty memories in his mind began to unfold. He also knew what happened yesterday.

His body stiffened when he saw himself slap Jia Xu's shoulder off when he was drunk yesterday. After that, he saw himself dancing crazily to Lü Bu's rapid drumming. He wanted to vomit blood.

As soon as Xie Lige woke up, his intelligence returned. At a glance, he could tell that Jia Xu's expression was obviously acting. He knew that he had been deceived by him. In order not to dance, Jia Xu tried his best to refuse and even hurt himself. It was probably because he was too presumptuous when he was drunk.

Xie Lige silently thought about how stupid he was when he was drunk last night. He was speechless. There were thousands of words he wanted to say. He stood up, kicked the generals next to him, and said, "Get up."

There was no movement.

He kicked those generals again and slightly raised his voice, "Get up. Don't sleep anymore. You have to go to the martial arts arena for morning training later!"

After that, he stepped over a few messy people and came to the door of the hall. He pushed the door open. Clear sunlight shone through the door and shone on everyone. Many people were dazzled by the sunlight and began to murmur.

Jia Xu was a light sleeper. As soon as he heard the noise in the arena, he immediately opened his eyes. The general in black armor and white feathers came into view. He was looking at him from afar. His body could not help but stiffen. When he saw that the general's eyes were clear, he knew that he had sobered up. His body slowly relaxed.

Xie Lige raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, you're awake."

Jia Xu used his uninjured hand to support himself against the pillar behind him to stand up. He smiled bitterly at Xie Lige and said, "General, you've caused me a lot of trouble after getting drunk."

Xie Lige could barely maintain his expressionless face. His eyes were calm and confident. Anyway, he was drunk. So what? He thought that this Poison Warrior would not hold a grudge against him. Xie Lige said happily, "It's my fault."

However, Xie Lige looked at Jia Xu with a faint sense of pity.
