Chapter 1363: Xuan’er Demon

Xiahou Zheng really could not understand why such an important thing like the City Lord Seal would disappear for no reason.

It was not on his adoptive father, nor was it in his bedroom. Could it be that his adoptive father had someone steal it?

No, from the moment something happened to Xiahou Qing, they immediately sealed his bedroom. Not a fly could fly in.

Or… had his adoptive father given away the City Lord Seal?

This was unlikely.

The City Lord would only pass the City Lord Seal to the next City Lord the moment he stepped down.

As for saying that his adoptive father had predicted the danger in advance and deliberately hid the City Lord Seal, this guess was even more untenable.

Because in the end, he dared to meet his great-uncle alone, it could be determined that he was very confident in his situation.

“It can’t be that he drank too much… His mind went blank… and he gave away the City Lord Seal as a lousy thing…”

Xiahou Zheng frowned, puzzled.

He asked, “Granduncle, can you just say that the City Lord Seal has also fallen into the sea? In any case, no one stood up to object to Granduncle becoming the City Lord. The three major sects have tacitly agreed. The Hundred Flowers Palace is nothing.”

Xiahou Yi did not say anything. The trusted steward beside him smiled. “Eldest Young Master, the three major sects tacitly agree. It doesn’t mean that the three major sects are willing to listen to the City Lord’s orders. They just don’t want to participate in the internal strife of the Xiahou family. Only the one who wins in the end is qualified to become their new City Lord.”

Xiahou Zheng was puzzled. “Didn’t Granduncle already win?”

The trusted steward said, “Only when the lord obtains the City Lord Seal can he truly stabilize his position as the City Lord and can openly command all the forces on Thousand Mountain Island.”

Xiahou Zheng fell silent.

If Lou Bufan was still alive, the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion could have been obtained.

It was not difficult to convince Heavenly Jade Hall that the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion was loyal.

Lou Bufan’s death blocked this retreat.

Xiahou Zheng let out a long sigh.

The trusted steward smiled and said, “Eldest Young Master, you don’t have to worry too much. Even if the three major sects don’t listen to Master’s orders, they won’t listen to Yun Lin’s orders unless he has the City Lord Seal. However, according to Master’s deduction, he doesn’t. Otherwise, he would have taken out the City Lord Seal to fight with Master for the position of City Lord these few days.”

Xiahou Zheng was enlightened. “No wonder Granduncle endured and did not to cause trouble for the Hundred Flowers Palace. So he wanted Yun Lin to take out the City Lord Seal. At that time, we’ll kill and snatch the seal to prevent future trouble!”

The trusted steward smiled and nodded. “That’s right. Moreover, the Hundred Flowers Palace probably doesn’t know that we don’t have the City Lord Seal. The City Lord didn’t order the three major sects to avoid exposing the fact that we don’t have the City Lord Token.”

If Xiahou Qing was the one commanding the three major sects, he would not need the City Lord Token. He had been the City Lord for many years, and no one had any doubts about his identity.

Xiahou Zheng said, “If Foster Father isn’t dead… He went to look for the four major sects…”

The trusted steward said without worry, “He can’t speak or write with his hand. His appearance is ruined, and there are scars on his neck. Now that he’s the murderer of the City Lord, no one will believe him.”

Xiahou Zheng continued, “What about the Hundred Flowers Palace?”

The trusted steward smiled and said, “Even his own son won’t be able to recognize him.”

–

Hundred Flowers Palace.

Xiahou Qing sat on the hay in the horse shed and tried to grab the branches on the ground with his hands. However, after grabbing for a long time, he failed.

He couldn’t even grab a small branch. What else could he do?

Xiahou Qing lay back dispiritedly and closed his eyes in despair and helplessness.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the horse shed.

At this time every day, Su Xiaoxiao would come to change his dressing.

However, he did not want to change his dressing today.

He felt that there was no need to treat him.

“What’s this? Are you pretending to be dead?”

A calm voice sounded.

Xiahou Qing was stunned. He lay on the ground and turned around, but what he saw was not Su Xiaoxiao, but Wei Xu.

Wei Xu was holding a first aid kit.

Why was this guy here to change his dressing today?

Xiahou Qing immediately turned away in rejection.

Sihu jumped over happily and rubbed its head against Wei Xu’s arm.

Wei Xu touched Sihu’s head. “Sihu, do you want to die? Why don’t you bring it back from where you got it?”

Sihu was dumbfounded.

Xiahou Qing turned around and sulked.

“Dad!”

Wei Liulang walked over with a bottle of medicine. “Why are you here?”

Wei Xu replied, “What’s the matter?”

Wei Liulang said, “Oh, Xiaoxiao asked me to send this bottle of medicine over.”

Wei Xu said, “Give it to me. By the way, lower your voice. Ling’er is sleeping. Don’t disturb him.”

Wei Liulang nodded. “Got it, Dad.”

Strange, his father usually called her him Ling Yun. Why did he change his name today?

Wei Liulang was careless and did not mind his father having a son like Ling Yun at all. Only Ghostfear secretly fought with Ling Yun for favor.

Xiahou Qing felt that something was wrong. Why did this person call Duanmu Qi father? How many sons did Duanmu Qi have?

Soon, Ghostfear came over. “Dad, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu are looking for you.”

Wei Xu nodded. “Got it. I’ll be right there.”

Xiahou Qing frowned even more and couldn’t help but turn his head again.

Wasn’t this person… a death warrior?

Was he also… Duanmu Qi’s son?!

Including Duanmu Yun, he had three sons, right?

“Dad.”

Just as Ghostfear left, Wei Qing came again.

He smiled. “Oh, I’m here for Little Six.”

Xiahou Qing’s eyes widened.

Four?

They were definitely not his biological children. Never!

Wei Qing and Wei Liulang led Sihu away.

Only then did Wei Xu enter the horse shed and sit in front of Xiahou Qing. “Yo, are you looking at my shoes?”

Xiahou Qing, whose head was about to twist to the side, thought, I wasn’t looking at you at all!

Wei Xu said leisurely, “My son bought it for me. Which son? Ah, the Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Yun Lin.”

The corners of Xiahou Qing’s mouth twitched. That was his son!

Wei Xu continued, “You want to ask if it’s expensive? It’s expensive and is worth thousands of gold. I heard that the City Lord couldn’t buy it even if he wanted to. My son is filial to me.”

Xiahou Qing muttered, “Damn it, who wants to ask you?”

Xiahou Qing turned around angrily and glared at Wei Xu.

Wei Xu looked down at his clothes. “Why? Are you asking about my clothes? This is cheap. It’s only a few hundred gold coins. Even though I said no, Ling’er insisted on buying it for me.”

Xiahou Qing was about to vomit blood.

“Alright, let’s change the dressing.”

Wei Xu pretended to bow to look for medicine and deliberately revealed his hair crown in front of Xiahou Qing.

When he straightened up, he frowned in disagreement. “Why are you asking about my hair crown? I don’t know how much it costs. I’ll ask Ling’er later. He bought me more than ten in one go. If you’re really envious, I’ll give you one and a half.”

If looks could kill, Xiahou Qing would have killed Wei Xu 81 times!

Duanmu Qi, will you die if you don’t speak!

Hurry up and change my dressing!

Change and leave!

Wei Xu sighed. “What? You’re asking me what’s in the water bag? It’s not water, but the mulberry nectar of the Hundred Flowers Place. Ling’er said that drinking this is good for my health and asked me to drink it like water every day.”

Drinking it like water every day?!

Thinking of the small bottle of mulberry nectar that Ling Yun had given him, Xiahou Qing felt terrible!

Ling Yin entered the horse shed and asked strangely, “Eh? Lord, why are you here? Ah, so you brought Second Young Madam’s medicine box over. I was looking everywhere just now and thought I had lost it. Lord, if there’s nothing else, I came in to change his dressing.”

“Yeah.”

Wei Xu stood up seriously.

Xiahou Qing trembled.

After all this time, he was not here to change the dressing?!
