Xie Lige smiled lightly.
He followed Yao Yue's gaze and looked down.
There was a tall and handsome man sitting there.
He had a chivalrous aura.
His collar revealed his firm abs. He lowered his head and sipped his tea.
Behind the fragrance of the tea was his calm face.
Footsteps came from outside the door.
He raised his head reflexively. His originally serious eyes lit up the moment he saw Hua Wu Que step in.
His entire body froze as his black eyes stared at Hua Wu Que, who was looking at Yao Yue with pure adoration in his eyes.
His expression was filled with disbelief.
Xie Lige turned his head and looked at the man in the hall with surprise.
He frowned reflexively and looked at the man coldly.
At this moment, he more or less had an answer in his heart.
"Yan Nantian?" Xie Lige frowned immediately.
Yan Nantian heard the voice beside his ear. He pulled his attention away from Hua Wu Que's face and looked to the side.
He saw the girl in pink whose expression was filled with disdain.
His body couldn't help but tremble.
After a while, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Palace Master Lian Xing."
It was rumored in the pugilistic world that the Second Palace Master of the Shifting Flower Palace was powerful and beautiful. Her temperament was unpredictable and temperamental.
The only confirmed news was that this Palace Master Lian Xing was often inseparable from her sister, Palace Master Yao Yue.
The girl in pink standing in front of him heard Yan Nantian's slightly emotional voice.
She covered her mouth with her white fingers and smiled lightly.
Her every move was captivating.
Idiot!
Xie Lige thought to himself.
His expression didn't change. He patted Hua Wu Que's head and signaled him to go to Yao Yue's side.
Then, he turned around and sat in his seat. He asked calmly, looking straight at Yan Nantian. He didn't give him any chance to dodge. His tone was filled with malicious ridicule.
"Heh!
I wonder why Hero Yan has come to my Shifting Flower Palace? "
Hua Wu Que ran away obediently. The ears of the white rabbit in his arms jumped along with his movements. Yao Yue saw her brother's actions and understood that he was probably going to clash with Yan Nantian. She remained silent and her gaze landed on Hua Wu Que who was rushing towards her.
"Elder Aunt."
Hua Wu Que walked to Yao Yue's side and called out softly.
Yao Yue took a sip of her tea and turned her head to look down. The maid automatically brought over a small seat for Hua Wu Que to sit down.
The direction of the seat was facing downward.
Hua Wu Que had just sat down on his seat. After panting for a while, he lowered his head to look at the situation below. Yao Yue glanced at him and pushed the plate of snacks in front of her.
The ice porcelain plate was translucent, and the edges were a faint red. The pastry the size of a fingernail could be eaten in one bite, neatly piled into a pile.
Hua Wu Que took the plate and thanked him in a low voice.
With some difficulty, he lifted up the fat rabbit in his arms and delivered it into Yao Yue's arms. An understanding smile hung on his handsome little face as the child said in all seriousness, "Do you want to hold Little White?"
Before Yao Yue could react.
In his hand was a plump, furry rabbit that had been stuffed by the child. The slightly warm body temperature reached his hand through the snow-white fur, and it felt very good to the touch.
Yao Yue lowered her head to look at the rabbit in her hand. Coincidentally, her eyes met the plump rabbit's. After a while, she shifted her gaze away and pinched the plump rabbit in her hand.
The two people above were happily chatting, while the two people below were chatting wittily. Both of them had ulterior motives.
When Xie Lige saw Yan Nantian's smiling expression, he couldn't help but look up at his sister. En, she was very beautiful and had a good personality. It was clear that this Yan Nantian was a fool.
"Palace Master Lian Xing, he must be my younger brother's child, right?" Yan Nantian impatiently opened his mouth the moment Hua Wu Que went up.
Xie Lige was looking down on Yan Nantian's brain when he heard his words. He reflexively snorted coldly in his mind and was about to retort when his gaze involuntarily swept past Hua Wu Que, who was taking care of Yao Yue like a little adult. He discarded that thought and blinked before saying, "So what if he is?"
Yan Nantian was overjoyed when he heard this. "Then can I take him away today?"
Xie Lige coldly snorted. "Great hero Yan, you are wrong. Wu Que isn't just your younger brother's child. He is also the child of my Yihua Palace's disciple, Hua Yuenu."
There were two husband and wife and two children. One for you and one for me. It was very fair. Whoever dared to touch this child of the Yihua Palace would have their claws chopped off.
Yan Nantian seemed to have never seen such an unreasonable person before. He couldn't find a reason to retort.
On the contrary, the righteous him followed Xie Lige's train of thought and discovered that there really wasn't any problem. He was deeply shocked.
Xie Lige looked at Yan Nantian's frozen expression and understood that his words had successfully put Yan Nantian in a difficult position. In that instant, a sense of accomplishment exploded in his heart like a rocket. It was too f * cking satisfying.
He was secretly happy, but on the surface, he calmly picked up the fragrant tea that the maid beside him had just served. He slowly drank a mouthful and rested for a while before continuing, "Before Hua Yuenu died, she also entrusted this child, Wu Que, to me."
Yan Nantian was speechless. He didn't think that things would turn out like this. This child was actually entrusted to the two Palace Masters of the Yihua Palace by Hua Yuenu herself. He remembered that when he had just entered that ancient road, the couple and the child in their arms had died under the carriage. Looking at the method of the couple's death, it was indeed not the martial arts of the Yihua Palace.
Yan Nantian sighed. The situation had suddenly become very difficult to handle.
Hua Wu Que looked down without moving. After surveying the entire battlefield, his little aunt had completely gained the upper hand. He withdrew his gaze without interest and turned his head to look at the snacks and tea in front of him. He then looked at the cold Yao Yue beside him. Yao Yue was expressionlessly looking at the fat rabbit.
In the afternoon, he had run to find his little aunt right after he had finished practicing martial arts. After a series of events, after settling down, he instantly felt an unbearable hunger in his stomach. He picked up a piece of snack and ate it seriously.
The snack had a soft texture and a milky fragrance. More importantly, the snack seemed to be filled with something. It was a small piece, but it was filled with sweet and sour jam, diluting much of the sweetness. Hua Wu Que could barely eat it.
He ate a mouthful of snack and drank a mouthful of tea.
He was extremely happy.
After feeling that there was something in his stomach, Hua Wu Que slowed down his eating speed. He didn't like to eat too much sweet food. It was fine as long as he was full. He picked up the tea beside him and began to carefully taste it.
After drinking another mouthful, a flawless jade hand took away the teacup in his hand and placed it on the table.
Hua Wu Que was slightly surprised.
"Elder Auntie?"
After Yao Yue put down the teacup, she withdrew her gaze. She heard Hua Wu Que's surprised voice and said faintly, "If you drink too much tea, it will be difficult to sleep at night."
Hua Wu Que had always been a good child. After he understood that his Elder Auntie wasn't going to let him drink, he gave up.
He shifted his gaze downstairs. At this moment, the girl in pink was confidently rebuking Yan Nantian. Her expression was nonchalant and full of provocation. She seemed to be saying, "If you have the ability, come up and fight me."
Yan Nantian retreated step by step. His ability to talk was completely inferior to Xie Lige, who seemed to have practiced the art of talking.
Xie Lige's tone was slightly sarcastic as she said, "I presume that Great Hero Yan can't make the decision for this child's parents?"
Yan Nantian didn't know what to say. He indeed couldn't make the decision for Hua Wu Que's parents. However, since Hua Yuenu had entrusted the child to this person in front of him, the two of them should be trustworthy.
After Yan Nantian understood, he didn't continue to argue. He nodded and said, "I've been rude."
Xie Lige snorted.
Yan Nantian raised his head and looked at Hua Wu Que's face. A trace of dullness flashed through his eyes. Originally, he had come to ask about the cause of death of his sworn brother and his wife. Although he could tell that the method used wasn't from the Shifting Flower Palace, he still wasn't willing to give up. When he found out that Hua Wu Que wanted to help, it was a surprise. This child's face was exactly the same as Jiang Feng's.
The only pity was that he couldn't take this child away.
In the end, he chose to look at Hua Wu Que with reluctance. Just as he was preparing to leave, he didn't expect that he would see the problem with this one look.
Yan Nantian's gaze inadvertently swept past Hua Wu Que's hair ornaments, to the exquisite pink little clothes, and then to the little golden bell wrapped around his ankle. His eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
He raised his head again and looked at the girl in pink who was wearing the exact same clothes as Hua Wu Que. She was looking at him with disdain.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered the time when they were together in the past. She would occasionally show him an endless amount of bad humor. He was in the area that was severely affected by the disaster. He recalled the tragic experience of that time.
Yan Nantian's expression instantly became serious. However, he quickly calmed down and asked calmly.
"Palace Master Lian Xing, may I ask if this child's clothes …"
Xie Lige calmly replied, "I gave them to him!"
Yan Nantian was speechless. He didn't know what to say for a moment. This was also due to his negligence. From the moment he entered the room, he had placed all his attention on the child's face. He had completely neglected the child's clothes. Furthermore, the child was very polite and well-mannered. He didn't seem feminine at all.
On the contrary, he could see that the child had been taught very well. He was able to advance and retreat with ease. He was calm and collected, and he treated the two Palace Masters with great care.
Just in case, Yan Nantian confirmed once again, "Could it be that my younger brother's children were dragons?"
Xie Lige looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. How could he not tell whether the child was a boy or a girl?
Although his son was wearing pink clothes, he didn't seem feminine at all. Anyone with a discerning eye could immediately see that this was a handsome little boy.
"Wu Que is a boy."
"But the clothes …"
"None of your business!"
Heh, this temper of his!
Xie Lige rolled his eyes. When Yan Nantian looked at Hua Wu Que's clothes in shock, he already had a premonition. When he heard this, his temper immediately flared up.
No matter what, he couldn't even tell whether the child was a boy or a girl. This Yan Nantian must be here to cause trouble!
Xie Lige pulled out his two swords from his back and calmly thought to himself.
When the System in his mind heard Yan Nantian mention that Hua Wu Que wanted to wear women's clothing, it immediately appeared. Its voice was filled with anger, "Attack him, attack him, attack him to death! Back then, I asked the Seven Refined Lane through the head office to ask for Xiu Tai equipment. Is he blind!!!"
The System was about to explode from anger. Ever since it recognized Hua Wu Que as its godson, it had been secretly helping Xie Lige to take advantage of the loopholes. It had even changed Xie Lige's female clothes to Western clothes, afraid that it would raise the wrong child.
What the hell did it know about the Seven Refined Lane's secrets? Xiu Luo's equipment was a dress, a small dress, okay?!!
