The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1496 - 730 Group’s Pet (One more update)

Gu Chengfeng, upon realizing he had lost Wang Xu, put on an effort as if reincarnating and hurried to the National Master Hall.

He pushed his light-body skill to its utmost limit, with the wind blowing so hard that he could barely keep his eyes open.

Yet, he still couldn’t catch up to Wang Xu. There was no other reason; here in the inner city of Shengdu, this was Wang Xu’s territory.

Gu Chengfeng usually stayed in the remote Tianxiang Pavilion outside the city, and even if he entered the city, it was only to visit Xiao Hen and Xiao Jingkong. He was not as familiar with the inner city as Wang Xu, who knew all the shortcuts.

Moreover, in order to eavesdrop on Wang Xu by the corner undetected earlier, Gu Chengfeng had dressed in women’s clothes, which now held him back.

He straightly grabbed the hem of his dress, spread his legs, and ran forward with his feet splayed out!

The pedestrians on the road all stared at him as if he were a lunatic, their jaws nearly dropping. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Finally, Gu Chengfeng made it to the National Master Hall. He couldn’t very well enter the National Master Hall brazenly, so he had to climb over the wall.

But after the mad rush here, he was already panting like a dog.

"I just... I just... need to catch... catch... my breath..."

Oh my goodness.

What is all this?

I’m exhausted!

Gu Chengfeng, having caught his breath a bit, went to the side wall of the National Master Hall and leaped up—

And landed right back in place.

He tried to leap up again.

Still in the same spot.

—He was utterly spent.

Gu Chengfeng had no choice but to resort to the most primitive method—climbing the wall.

He grunted and heaved himself up the wall, only to fall down clumsily from the high battlement.

This was indeed the most disgraceful mission he’d ever executed.

When Gu Chengfeng arrived at the courtyard outside the ward in Qilin Palace with his hair in a mess and his clothes all loose, looking like he had just been ravaged, he was completely unaware of his disheveled state.

As he approached the window, about to lift his skirt and climb through, he caught sight of Gu Changqing inside the room.

Gu Changqing was sitting by an eight-immortal table, most of his face turned toward the window, his handsome jade-like face covered in quite a bit of flour; various ingredients such as dough and flour were laid out on the table, and he was intently rolling out dough with a rolling pin.

It took Gu Chengfeng several looks to recognize that this was his own elder brother.

He was suddenly struck with surprise.

What’s going on?

Why would his brother be here?

He knew that his brother had come to Yan Country, but not to Shengdu—

Moreover, why would his brother be sitting here quietly rolling out dough?

The dough was rolled out so... ugly, too, with the noodles varying in thickness and length. This wasn’t rolling noodles, it was making lumpy dough, wasn’t it?

More than the appearance of his brother, it was his brother rolling dough that surprised Gu Chengfeng even more.

This was something his brother would never do in ten lifetimes, even more improbable than him actually reincarnating as a woman.

Gu Chengfeng’s mouth twitched, reaching the point of flying. He even suspected he was dreaming, so he pinched his thigh sharply, almost leaping up in pain.

So, it wasn’t a dream.

That really was his brother.

His brother had come looking for him, and his brother was rolling dough for him.

Gu Chengfeng was moved to tears, gazing affectionately at his brother who was clumsily rolling dough, and excitedly began to speak, "Big—"

Bang!

A rolling pin came flying over—

Gu Chengfeng was struck squarely on the head and fell to the ground, stiff as a plank.

The rolling pin had already flown back.

"I said no noise." Gu Chengfeng grabbed the returned rolling pin and continued rolling out dough.

Gu Chengfeng looked up at the blue sky and the white clouds, whispering despairingly in a voice only he could hear, "Big brother, I am your little brother, Chengfeng Chengfeng oh..."

Xiao Hen had been called away by the monarch just a moment ago. He knew that Gu Changqing had arrived and felt assured to leave because Gu Changqing was watching over the place.

When he returned to the ward, he first found a National Master Hall disciple who had fainted at the door, and when closing the window, he spotted an unconscious common girl in the courtyard...

"It seems to be Gu Chengfeng."

Xiao Hen recognized him.

Gu Changqing paused in his dough rolling.

Xiao Hen wondered, "Eh? Why did he faint?"

Gu Changqing’s body stiffened slightly: "..."

...

Gu Chengfeng was hauled into the room by Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing pinched his philtrum.

When the little sister sleeps, no one may disturb her.

When the little brother sleeps, he’s ruthlessly woken up.

Gu Chengfeng gradually came to on the chair, unaware that his entire face was striped with the mark of a stick, his cheeks clearly divided.

Seeing his elder brother standing before him like a towering mountain, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

He felt so wronged. His brother had hit him the moment they met.

Gu Changqing looked down at him from above and said indifferently, "Have you been neglecting your martial arts training recently? Why couldn’t you handle even one move?"
