Chapter 59

What the hell is going on? The Sect Master sent Ling Qing, one of the Shadow Guards, to Yan Feili as a servant? Lin Yanyan asked Ximei carefully about the matter again, and only let her go until she couldn’t ask anything anymore.

After taking two steps into the room, Lin Yanyan felt weirder the more she thought about it. Why does the Sect Master send Ling Qing to serve Yan Feili? He also let Ling Qing go with him to the battlefield. Is it for surveillance? Or for protection? What does this have to do with that child?

Lin Yanyan was left puzzled.

Ling Qing was one of the Sect Master’s shadows. He couldn’t have been deployed without a token. Even if she asks him, he won’t say anything.

The nurse came in holding Beitang Yaohui who was breastfed. Lin Yanyan held him and opened his little skirt. There was nothing on his skin, especially not the plum blossom-shaped birthmark. At this time, she had a strong mind, wanting to see if the child named Beitang Ri had inherited the birthmarks of the Beitang and whether it had inherited the unique physique of cultivating the Ming Kingdom’s Divine Art.

After giving her child back to the nurse, Lin Yanyan took Lan’er and a few maids out of Shenmei Courtyard.

“Li’er, come here!” Yan Feili clapped his hands, watching Li’er standing in the middle of the carpet with two chubby legs, swaying left and right.

“Li’er, here!” Beitang Ao stood on the other side, pointing to something under his feet and summoning the child.

Today was an auspicious day for the child. Beitang Ao especially came for Li’er’s Year ceremony. He and Yan Feili laid a carpet in the lobby of the house, placed things around with Li’er at the center, and let him choose. But Li’er’s temper was also strange. When he grabbed something, he just threw it away at a glance as if he wasn’t interested in anything. He crawled on the carpet for a long time but did not choose anything.

When Beitang Ao saw the child threw a fine jade pendant out again, he finally couldn’t help and said, “This kid, what does he want!?”

Yan Feili was not worried and replied, “Maybe he hasn’t found an agreement yet. Everything here has been caught by him all the time, and he doesn’t see what he wants.”

There were many things scattered on the ground like wooden swords, pens, inkstones, paintings and calligraphy, jewelry, official cards, things representing martial arts, literary talent, money, and power were all there. Yet Li’er was dismissive.

After turning around for a while, Li’er finally caught something in these things, looked at it, smelled it, and refused to let it go.

Both Beitang Ao and Yan Feili felt a little bit ridiculous. It turned out that they were a few winter plums that Cui Nu had folded from the plum tree in the morning, which were originally put in a vase in the hall.

Probably not paying attention when placing, one plant fell on the ground. In the end, Li’er was attracted by the fragrance of the flowers, walked staggeringly, and grabbed it.

Beitang Ao said unhappily, “Why did this child choose a plum blossom?”

Yan Feili laughed, “There is nothing wrong with this. In the future, he will be a pure-hearted person.”

Beitang Ao still felt a little unwilling, picked up the gold medal he had prepared from the ground, coaxed Li’er again, and said, “Li’er, come here, come to Daddy!”

After patiently coaxing for a long time, Li’er seemed to be a little excited at last, raising the plum blossom in his hand. He moved over and took the token from Beitang Ao’s hand.

Beitang Ao’s expression was slightly dark, but he nodded in satisfaction. Yan Fei was a bit funny. The Sect Master sometimes acted like a child, but he didn’t seem to know it himself.

Yan Feili walked over, picked up Li’er, and watched him holding a plum blossom in one hand and a token in the other. He looked left and right again and again as if he was comparing. The flowers were fragrant and the token was shinning.

It seemed hard to choose.

Yan Feili felt very funny and said, “This is possible?”

Beitang Ao laughed, “We are here to kill two birds with one stone!”

“What two birds with one stone?” The door opened, and Lin Yanyan walked in.
