Chapter 1338: The Most Scheming Xiaoxiao

Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiahou Zheng did not want to stay in the Hundred Flowers Palace for another moment.

The Palace Lord stopped him coldly. “Eldest Young Master, you slandered the Hundred Flowers Palace and just killed a petty thief? Aren’t you looking down on the Hundred Flowers Palace too much!”

Xiahou Zheng suppressed the anger in his heart. “Palace Lord Yun, what else do you want?”

The Palace Lord scoffed. “You make it sound like I’m making things difficult for you. Have you forgotten that you were the one who kept saying that the Hundred Flowers Palace is harboring criminals last night and insisted on pinning the blame on the Hundred Flowers Palace? Just because my Hundred Flowers Palace respects you doesn’t mean that we’re afraid of you! If you don’t apologize to the Hundred Flowers Palace in public, my Hundred Flowers Palace would be falsely accused when the rumors spread.”

Xiahou Zheng said righteously, “If an islander reported it, I would be ordered to search. It’s only right and proper. Your Hundred Flowers Palace should be grateful that I cleared your names.”

The Palace Lord snorted. “If not for the two elders being present last night, it’s uncertain if my Hundred Flowers Palace would be innocent!”

Xiahou Zheng looked at her coldly. “Do you mean that you think I’ll use the search to send people to the Hundred Flowers Palace?”

The Palace Lord was not afraid of his gaze. She returned his gaze with a cold and sharp glare. “Young Master said so himself.”

Xiahou Zheng clenched his fists tightly.

From Yun Shuang to Yun Lin, the Hundred Flowers Palace was indeed vicious.

Losing the most powerful scout was already painful enough, but to be ridiculed like this… Xiahou Zheng was furious.

However, a little impatience would spoil great plans.

Xiahou Zheng forced himself to endure it. “I was ignorant last night and offended the Hundred Flowers Palace. Palace Lord Yun, please forgive me.”

Elder Li stepped forward to mediate.

The Palace Lord looked like she had finally calmed down. “You’ve been busy all night. The two elders must be starving. Why don’t you have a meal at the Hundred Flowers Palace before leaving?”

As she spoke, before the two of them could refuse, she looked at Xie Jinnian. “Second Young Master and my brothers, please stay for a meal. As for Eldest Young Master… I think Eldest Young Master wouldn’t like my Hundred Flower Palace’s food, so I won’t keep you!”

Xiahou Zheng felt his face had been slapped again. Why was it so awkward?

The guards did not dare to look up at him.

“Goodbye!”

Xiahou Zheng coldly left with the hundred guards.

Elder Li and Elder Liu wanted to refuse, but it was difficult for them to refuse the hospitality of the Palace Lord and Wei Xu, so they could only stay.

The chef of the Hundred Flowers Palace had been specially trained by Su Xiaoxiao. The novelty and taste of the dishes were not to be criticized. Not only did they retain the flavor of the traditional dishes on the island, but they also added new delicacies from the Central Plain.

It was unknown if the elders found it delicious or not. In any case, the guards could not stop eating.

Xing’er hugged the wine jar and poured wine for everyone. “This is wine brewed by my Miss. It’s not intoxicating. Everyone, drink at ease!”

The Palace Lord and Wei Xu treated the two elders and Xie Jinnian sincerely. Their words seemed to pave the way for Ling Yun.

In the eyes of the two elders, the situation was clear. Yun Lin couldn’t avoid the battle for the heir, and the usually cold Palace Lord Yun began to rope in forces for him.

The Palace Lord even prepared generous gifts for the three of them.

The two elders sat still.

Xie Jinnian pushed the brocade box back.

Wei Xu frowned. “Does Second Young Master look down on this little gift?”

Xie Jinnian smiled and said, “No, it’s just that I’m not good at these things. I heard that the phoenix birds of the Hundred Flower Palace are rare. Can you lend them to me to take a look?”

Wei Xu relaxed. “Of course! Someone, bring Second Young Master to choose a phoenix bird!”

Phoenix birds were extremely precious. When the two elders saw that Second Young Master had accepted the gift from the Hundred Flowers Palace, they cleared their throats and accepted the astronomical gifts with great hospitality.

When Xie Jinnian arrived at the Phoenix Bird Garden, Su Xiaoxiao had been waiting for a long time.

After feeding the last phoenix, she smiled at Xie Jinnian and said, “Second Young Master.”

Xie Jinnian looked around.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Don’t worry, it’s very safe here!”

Xie Jinnian raised his finger, and the six guards behind him stepped forward, four men and two women.

One of the female guards helped the last male guard out.

The two of them were none other than Yuwen Xi and Yuwen Huai.

Yuwen Huai had relied on the fever medicine to survive until now. Otherwise, he would have fallen long ago.

“Thank you, Second Young Master.” Yuwen Xi thanked him.
