Chapter 1971 - 145: So You Know You’re Despicable
He thought carefully for a moment, then nodded seriously with a solemn face, "That’s true."
"So what exactly have you been up to these days?"
Yue Ning’s expression suddenly changed, becoming fierce.
"Don’t tell me that you’ve been deliberately ignoring me this whole time?"
He recalled how Yixuan and Third Brother teamed up to trap him into the Qin family. And, don’t think he didn’t understand their intentions; it was clearly an attempt to make him stay away from his wife.
The people at home, their minds are too dark, completely black; only Liang Yuening is the most pure-hearted, humph!
Yixuan was speechless, "Fifth Brother, are you stupid?"
He simply couldn’t stand it.
Pressing his brow, Yixuan smiled wryly, "Even if... I do occasionally indulge in a bit of deceit."
"So you actually know you’re deceitful?"
Yixuan: "..."
Can’t chat anymore!
Sighing in exasperation.
"What I mean is, at least in matters like this, I wouldn’t be so despicable. A little mischief, just consider it a spice of life."
But, during these days when Fifth Brother was at the Qin family, having him take his place was indeed because he had legitimate business to attend to.
Yixuan suddenly leaned closer to Yue Ning, whispering in his ear.
Yue Ning was momentarily stunned, "Is that so??"
Yixuan nodded, "I discovered it midway too. The waters of Dongdi are deep, controlled by an invisible hand, known to the world as the Mountain God, and this Mountain God... has been quite troublesome for me. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken so long to deal with the Second Elder."
Yue Ning frowned, seeming to think, and after a long while... "Forget it, I don’t want to think about it, I’m not good at these things anyway."
Ugh, conspiracies and tricks, he’d rather have a straightforward fight than deal with these convoluted matters. Besides, isn’t Yixuan here?
Yixuan is good at thinking, better leave it to Yixuan.
As Fifth Brother, he shamelessly thought.
...
On the other side.
Before Yixuan left, he had a brief chat with Dong Huiying.
Dong Huiying initially thought that Yixuan had already started closing the net and she could watch a show, but recalling the matters Yixuan raised, she understood it wasn’t looking optimistic.
"They’re busy, I don’t want to stay idle either."
Furthermore, the issues in Dongcui City have brought up a ’big one’, which won’t be resolved in the short term.
Dong Huiying bought a lamb bun and strolled down the street lined with shops.
She suddenly thought of Wu Wang and Little Star. The two children were with Old Lady Qin.
Back when Dong Huiying came to Dongcui City, the old lady followed behind with the two kids secretly.
To ensure the safety of the old lady and the two kids, Dong Huiying and the men at home dispatched many hands to secretly watch over them.
And before Dong Huiying, along with Zhi Chen and others left, they would steal time every day to visit the old lady. Of course, this was all done secretly, hiding in the shadows to watch the old lady with the children.
Dong Huiying’s eyes gleamed.
"I miss my son!"
Going to see her son!
She finished her lamb bun in a few bites, brushed off the crumbs from her hands, and strode forward quickly, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.
Meanwhile, in the shadows.
Some inconspicuous vendors and passersby acted with great secrecy. They looked in the direction Dong Huiying left in, saw the girl had disappeared, exchanged glances, and someone immediately wrote a coded message, circling around, secretly sending it out of Dongcui City.
On Burial Dragon Mountain, inside the temple.
The Old Monk, draped in a Kasaya, wore a devout expression, chanting and beating a wooden fish.
