Chapter 363: The Unlucky State Preceptor (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee TranslationsThe State Preceptor’s master fought with the Priest for three days and three nights before finally winning with a single move.
Of course, this was the outcome that was announced to the public. The truth was that the old man had won. It was only because the State Preceptor’s master had discovered the old man’s secret that the old man deliberately admitted defeat in order to keep the secret.
“What secret, Grandma?” Moon Hook asked curiously.
This secret had been hidden in the old man’s heart for many years, and even the king of the clan did not know about it.
The Eldest Princess had been sent out of Nanzhao since she was young and had grown up in the Ghost Clan. She was only three or four years old when she heard about her parents. She knew that her parents were where the Priest was going, so she secretly hid in the Priest’s box. She hid all the way without being discovered. When the old man rummaged through the box and drawers to look for something, he discovered the girl curled up and slept in his pile of bottles.
Her forehead was bruised and her knees were swollen. It must have been the bumpy carriage, but in order to see her parents, she did not make a sound.
The Priest carried the girl out.
The girl woke up and looked at him with wide innocent eyes. It was too late for him to send the girl back to the clan, so she could only continue to hide. He knew that she wanted to see her parents, but he could not do that. Nanzhao had long made an agreement with the Ghost Clan that this little jinx of Nanzhao could not return to her house for the rest of her life.
“Grandma, are they my parents?” The girl leaned on his shoulder and looked from afar at her parents holding hands with a little girl of her age. The little girl was wearing the most gorgeous clothes and was followed by the most dignified servants. Everyone liked her and the girl was very envious.
The Priest put on a ghost mask for the girl and pulled her to the Emperor. He said to the Emperor, “This is our clan leader’s little daughter. She saw you just now and said that you are the most powerful and handsome man she has ever seen.”
The Emperor laughed.
The girl was wearing a very ugly mask, but her body was very small and cute. The Emperor squatted down to hug her. At this moment, the Little Princess walked over and pushed her to the ground. “You’re not allowed to touch my father!”
“Don’t be rude,” the Emperor scolded his daughter.
The Little Princess burst into tears. The Emperor’s heart broke. He quickly picked up his delicate daughter and coaxed her gently. He had long forgotten about the girl she had rudely pushed to the ground.
“Grandma, why don’t my parents want me? Is it because I’m disobedient?” He could still hear such words a few years ago, but he had never heard her say it again.
That night, her mask fell off. Coincidentally, the State Preceptor’s master saw it. That fellow didn’t say anything at first until the last moment of the competition. He either admitted defeat or let the Eldest Princess be dealt with by the Emperor and the Empress.
The Priest admitted defeat.
The Eldest Princess had long grown up and could not remember her childhood. That time, after she returned to the clan, the Priest moved into the Elder Hall and the Eldest Princess was raised by a stricter maidservant. He had seen the Eldest Princess a few times from afar, but the Eldest Princess had never seen him again, so she did not know him now.
As for Ah Wei and the other two, the Eldest Princess did not know them either. Therefore, the mission of capturing the Eldest Princess back to the clan was originally considered a big win… if they hadn’t used up all the money.
The old man pulled back his thoughts and glanced indifferently at the State Preceptor outside. His master was such a despicable person. What good could his disciple be?
“We can’t let him see the Eldest Princess,” the old man said.
If he saw her, they would not be able to capture the Eldest Princess.
Qing Yan and Yue Gou agreed deeply. The Eldest Princess, who was supposed to be imprisoned in the Ghost Clan, had appeared in a small village in the Great Zhou. She even had children with a citizen of Great Zhou. If word got out, the royal family of Nanzhao would come out and cause trouble again.
The Eldest Princess could only be captured by them. Others could forget about it!
Yue Gou asked, “Grandma, what should we do? He’s going to find the Yu family soon.”
The village was only so big. One could see that woman from every room.
The old man snorted coldly. “In his dreams!”
The old man told the two of them his plan. The three of them unanimously decided not to tell Ah Wei. That kid could not do anything right and could only ruin things. If he got involved, he would only ruin things.
Their plan was very simple. Didn’t the State Preceptor come to look for Mrs. Yu? Then they would give him Mrs. Yu!
Qing Yan went to the Yu residence first. Yu Shaoqing went to the mine, and Madam Jiang went to visit. Little Bruiser was practicing calligraphy in the room. This was the homework assigned by the old man. Little Bruiser didn’t do it last night, so he had to go to class after finishing his homework.
The State Preceptor arrived outside the Ding Family’s new residence and asked, “Excuse me, is this the Yu Family?”
