Chapter 126 - Tang Yu Joins The Team

“Nice to meet you, Princess. I am Shi Gonghu, the general of Nan Zhao.”

The old man glared at Ling’er and immediately bowed respectfully to show his respect.

Zhao Ling-er frowned slightly. Shi Gonghu, Shi Jieren’s foster father… This person, his master had specifically talked about him.

The Nan Zhao had turned into a tragedy. It was Shi Gonghu’s fault from the very beginning. The Moon Worshipping Cult Master, Shi Jieren, was clearly a sensitive and intelligent scientist. If he was properly educated, he should be an existence that would benefit the people and the celebrities for all eternity. However, because Shi Gonghu did not understand education, he forcefully turned Bai Yue into a soldier…

Now, Baiyue has completely turned black, brainwashed the army, controlled the Shaman King, and embarked on the path of self-supremacy.

Say, if Baiyue was not adopted by Shi Gonghu, how scientific is it for an ancient person who can realize that the earth is round and that there is gravity?

Seeing that the Princess was not willing to speak for a long time, Shi Gonghu quickly reminded her in a low voice, “Princess, Princess?”

Lin Yueru couldn’t stand it any longer. Ling’er, no matter how unhappy you are with Shi Gonghu, don’t be so obvious! She reached out and poked Ling’er’s fair arm. “Wake up! —“

“Oh… oh! Shi Gonghu, right? The foster father of Sect Leader Baiyue, right? Don’t call me Princess. I can’t bear it. Ah Nu!”

To everyone’s surprise, Zhao Ling-er opened her mouth and began to retort. In the end, she even called Ah Nu, preparing to bypass Shi Gonghu and the others and leave.

“Call your Tang Yu, we have to speed up! —“

“Yes, Princess! —“

Ah Nu responded excitedly, making a face at Shi Gonghu, greeting Tang Yu openly. “Tang Yu, the Princess wants you to follow us! —“

“Godfather?”

Tang Yu had long been moved and could not help but ask softly, his eyes filled with excitement.

The corners of Shi Gonghu’s mouth twitched. What could he do? Originally, as the foster father of Baiyue, he was already very embarrassed in Nan Zhao. He had no choice but to come to the Central Plains to look for the Princess… but now, the Princess also did not like him. The only link was his foster son, Tang Yu, and Ah Nu’s childhood sweetheart. How could he really dare to tear them apart?

Even if he wanted to tear them apart, Tang Yu had to listen to him! —It was not the first or second time! —

“Go, go! —Remember to protect the Princess! —“

Yes,

Godfather, I will definitely protect the Princess and Ah Nu completely unharmed! —

Tang Yu quickly made a bow and ran away… he had completely forgotten that what his godfather had just said was to save the Princess, not some Ah Nu.

Shi Gonghu shook his head helplessly and waved his hand in a dispirited manner, indicating for everyone to hurry into the city…

He had raised two children, one rebellious, and one ungrateful – what could he do? He could only hold onto his old father’s heart and obediently go rest!

……………

After obtaining his foster father’s permission, Tang Yu was like a happy husky as he skipped over to Ah Nu’s side to ask about her well-being.

“Ah Nu, are you hungry? I brought roast duck. It’s the most authentic Beijing flavor…”

“Good, good! —“

“Ah Nu, I still have some pastries here. Do you want to try them…”

“Good, good! —“

“Ah Nu, I have two movie tickets. It is the latest drama from Suzhou. It is said that it is written by a person named Shakespeare…”

“Good, good! —“

The two big sisters in front could not bear to watch any longer, and Tang Yu was about to feed Ah Nu with his own hands… no, he had already fed her!

Ah Nu actually turned a blind eye to it, even showing off to his two best friends with a smug look on his face… what a scum! —What a standard scum! —

Ling’er really could not stand it any longer, using the fact that she was Ah Nu’s childhood friend, she pulled her to her side…

“Ah Nu, tell me the truth. Do you like Tang Yu?”

“Princess, are you talking about Tang Yu?”

Ah Nu bit her lips as she thought hard, her beautiful brows furrowed into a straight line… Ling’er and Yue Ru looked at each other, calling each other so intimately. There was a chance! —

“Tang Yu, is very kind. He treats me very well. He can give me whatever i wants and takes good care of me… However, his foster father is too fierce. He always shouts at me, and he has to practice every day. So annoying!”

“Eh… don’t worry about that foster father. Just tell me if you like Tang Yu “

Ling’er covered her head helplessly. It seemed that he was a father who cheated her son! However, for the sake of her best friend’s happiness, she still consoled him in peace.

“Yes, but I don’t like the Great Stone Drums! —” Ah Nu pouted and said, “As long as Tang Yu lives at the Great Stone Drums, I will never marry him! —“

“That’s right! —Marrying a man is marrying a family. If you can’t even settle your own family, what right do you have to let our Ah Nu marry! —No matter how good a man is, he can’t! —“

Lin Yueru agreed with Ah Nu’s idea. The corners of Zhao Linger’s mouth twitched. “What about you? Your cousin Jin Yuan treats you well, right? Your parents also like you very much. Why don’t you marry him?”

“Tsk, Cousin Jin Yuan and I are blood relatives of the third generation! —Didn’t you hear what State Teacher said? Blood relatives of the third generation are forbidden from marriage. Otherwise, they will give birth to a deformed little baby! —“

Lin Yueru said casually, without the slightest hint of shyness when she married and had children.

Ling’er couldn’t bear to continue listening and ruthlessly gave Lin Yueru a headache… With her personality, it would be strange if she could get married!

It was no wonder that Yue Ru clearly had talent and appearance, and her family was a big shot in Suzhou, yet no one chased after her in the school… With this carefree personality, if she married her, she would probably find a troublemaker! —

“Hehe, don’t talk about me, Princess. What about you? Do you have a sweetheart? For example, big brother Xiao Yao who took you away many years ago?”

Ah Nu came over and hugged Zhao Linger’s arm, teasing little green plum… Hearing that there was a melon to eat, and it was his own best friend, Lin Yueru hurriedly came over.

Zhao Linger glared at her two best friends in annoyance… Big brother Xiao Yao, when he was young, she thought that he was very good and wanted to marry him. However, the older she grew, the more she understood. On the contrary, she had forgotten her wish when she was young.

Especially after she had secretly gone to Chang’an to see Li Xiaoyao a few times under the guidance of her master Hao Yun, she became increasingly interested in the carefree Xiao Yao, who was like a ruffian.

After all, those who came into contact with school and experienced in the government office were all first-class talents… Wu Zetian and Li Longji were even more afraid that she would be caught up in a romantic relationship when she grew up, so they had found quite a number of high-quality little brothers by her side… Xiao Yao was becoming more and more useless.

“Big Brother Xiao Yao, you can only be my big brother…”

The three girls laughed as they discussed private topics in front of them. Tang Yu silently followed behind them with his hands behind his back, keeping the conversation between the three girls behind his ears… it was great to be able to see Ah Nu again!
