Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2027: Fooled

Capítulo 2027: Chapter 2027: Fooled

The carriage left the city, and after traveling for about four hours, the mountain road became narrower and seemed impassable for the carriage. So, the two had no choice but to get off and prepare to walk to Purple Peak Mountain. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Lin Kong looked at the endless mountains ahead, his frown deepening: “Disciple, did Miss Situ trick us?”

“What’s wrong?”

“The area of Purple Peak Mountain is so vast, it would take us a year or two to find the Thousand Year Striped Tiger.”

“Master, hold on a moment.” With that, Celestial Master Zhang took off the bundle on his back and laid all the tools on the ground: “I’ll perform a divination first to see if that girl deceived us. If she did, we’ll skin her alive.”

“Disciple, stop babbling. We got swindled of five hundred thousand taels of silver without daring to make a sound, just sulking in your room, and now you’re talking about skinning someone!” Lin Kong sneered. This disciple had no courage, yet still wanted to save face.

Celestial Master Zhang looked at Lin Kong, aggrieved, and called out, “Master.”

Lin Kong: “Alright, alright, I won’t say any more. Is that okay?”

The scene was somewhat unbearable to watch. After all, although Lin Kong was Celestial Master Zhang’s master, he was only in his twenties, while Celestial Master Zhang was over fifty. It was quite incongruous for him to suddenly act childishly with Lin Kong, but Lin Kong seemed used to it and didn’t mind.

Celestial Master Zhang focused intently and closed his eyes to perform divination. After a short while, he opened his eyes and said, “Master, I really figured it out! The Thousand Year Striped Tiger is indeed nearby. It seems that lousy girl didn’t lie about this.”

“Hmm, that’s good. Quickly pack up; let’s head into the mountains.”

“Yes.”

The two of them each shouldered a bundle and started walking into the mountains.

About an hour later, at another exit of the mountain peak, two figures, one big and one small, appeared.

The little boy was about four or five years old, looking very cute. He raised his rosy little face and asked the stunning woman beside him, “Master, how did you know Celestial Master Zhang and his master would enter the mountain today?”

The woman smiled and said, “Of course I knew. Your master is so clever. I had already stationed people near the Celestial Master’s Mansion to keep watch. As soon as they set out, we knew.”

It turned out these two were Xuexue and Little Tiger. Early in the morning, Xuexue received news that Celestial Master Zhang and his master had left the city by carriage. She immediately rode a fast horse out of the city and took shortcuts, quickly arriving at Purple Peak Mountain ahead of them.

Xuexue knew very well that if Little Tiger didn’t appear here, they wouldn’t be able to fool Celestial Master Zhang and his master, since they were both skilled in divination.

Little Tiger blinked his big round eyes, flashing as he looked at Xuexue and said, “Master, it would be such a pity to go back right after coming out. How about we play in the mountains for a bit before heading back?”

“Are you crazy? Knowing full well that others came specifically to catch you, yet you dare to play here, aren’t you too bold?”

“What are you afraid of? Don’t you have a space ability? As soon as they appear, I’ll hide in there. They won’t be able to find me no matter what, master, you can be at ease.”

“I don’t mind, but you should ask Xiao Taohong whether she’s up for it. If she’s willing, we can stay.”

Little Tiger was speechless upon hearing this.

Xiao Taohong, upon learning that Celestial Master Zhang and his master were at Purple Peak Mountain, was unwilling to step out of the space even a bit. Little Tiger had no way to persuade her. Now hearing Xuexue mention letting Xiao Taohong decide whether to stay, he almost didn’t need to think to know her decision would definitely be to leave.
