Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1258: Wolf’s Den

Lu’s father, holding a huge pile of food with Xiao Xiao, came to the gate of the side hall with Lu Xiaobu and the others.

"Is this the place?" Lu’s father squatted down and asked Xiao Xiao.

"Yes, just here." Xiao Xiao looked at the large amount of food and toys in her arms, smiling so broadly that her mouth couldn’t close.

This uncle is so nice!

At this time, Lu Xiaobu asked towards the side hall, "Is anyone here?"

No one answered.

Lu Xiaobu frowned.

He had just heard some sounds inside, there should be someone, right?

Therefore, he asked again, "Is anyone here? We brought Xiao Xiao back!"

Inside the side hall, Xiao Xiao’s mother immediately started struggling, "Mmm mmm mmm!"

She now wished more for Lu Xiaobu to leave with Xiao Xiao.

She wasn’t stupid, clearly Lu Xiaobu didn’t harm her since he could bring Xiao Xiao back!

"Shut up!" He Peng slapped her and then said to Lu Xiaobu outside, "Oh, thank you, let her in."

He didn’t dare go out, afraid of being recognized if he did.

Upon hearing the response, Lu Xiaobu frowned, not even allowed to go in?

Who exactly lives in this side hall!

Could Xiao Xiao be someone from Medicine King Valley?

He didn’t bother thinking too much, "Xiao Xiao, go in by yourself."

"Okay." Xiao Xiao bounced towards the side hall.

Hehe, so much delicious food today, I’ll let mom taste it later.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, turned around, and sweetly said, "Goodbye uncles, goodbye brothers, goodbye sister."

After the farewell, she bounced back into the side hall.

At this moment, she had no idea that this was no longer the home she remembered!

But a den of wolves!

"Ah!" Lu’s father sighed deeply when he saw Xiao Xiao’s figure vanish, "Too similar, too similar."

"Like who?" Lu Xiaobu, filled with questions, finally asked.

"Your mother." Lu’s father said softly, "That brow and eyes, especially when smiling, are just like your mother."

"My mother?" Lu Xiaobu sighed slightly upon hearing the word ’mother’.

Well, he understood now, Xiao Xiao wasn’t some illegitimate granddaughter; she just resembled his mother.

No wonder his father reacted that way.

Since the doubt was cleared up, Lu Xiaobu stopped worrying about it.

However, Lu Xiaobu still signaled Zhang Meng to investigate this side hall.

Although he knew it was a side hall of Medicine King Valley and probably housed special people, making it hard to investigate, he still wanted to try.

No matter which family Xiao Xiao belonged to, he wanted to see if he could ask Medicine King Valley to let Xiao Xiao spend more time with her father.

.....

Xiao Xiao’s matter was just a minor episode in Lu Xiaobu’s mind, not something he thought much about, and he continued to wander around.

Then, people from Medicine King Valley came.

Grandmaster Ye Changsheng and Honorary Master Lu Xiaobu, the two had quite a reputation.

If Medicine King Valley didn’t send people, it would be hard to justify.

"The Sect Master invites both of you grandmasters." A disciple greeted respectfully and then said.

"Alright, let’s go." Ye Changsheng nodded, this was customary, necessary for both his perspective and the other sect master’s.

Lu Xiaobu had Zhang Meng send his father and Chili Pepper back, and followed along. Perfect timing, as he wanted to ask the sect master about Xiao Xiao’s identity.

On the way, that little disciple kept looking back at Lu Xiaobu.

He felt very strange, truly strange.

Clearly, Lu Xiaobu looked like someone physically weak, unable to harm even a chicken, and seemingly couldn’t even defeat himself.

But, why was he designated as an Honorary Master?!

Even the Jianghu claimed he crushed a grandmaster!

Really, he wondered if they were lying!

Yet, if it was a lie, why did the sect master specially remind him that inviting Ye Changsheng doesn’t matter, but he must invite Lu Xiaobu?

Hence, he couldn’t help but keep looking back at Lu Xiaobu.

"What’s up? Curious?" Lu Xiaobu looked at the disciple and smiled.

"No, no!" The disciple was suddenly frightened, quickly turning back and dared not look anymore.

Regardless of true or false, someone designated as an Honorary Master is beyond his casual judgment.

Since they’d just brought Xiao Xiao, they were already near the side hall, so reaching the main hall took just a few steps.

Entering the main hall.

"The arrival of two grandmasters, forgive us for not welcoming properly. Please, forgive us!" Medicine King Valley’s sect master stood up to greet.

Notably, Medicine King Valley’s sect master wasn’t a grandmaster.

In fact, generally, for slightly larger sects or family heads, it’s uncommon to have a grandmaster lead.

There are many reasons, the biggest being that grandmasters have transcended human limits, and their thinking on viewing people and events can vary widely.

If a grandmaster were in charge, it would practically spell disaster.

Of course, publicly it’s said that grandmasters need to focus on cultivation, not be distracted by miscellaneous tasks.

"Where’s the old poison master? Haven’t seen him?" Ye Changsheng asked as soon as he entered, wondering about their sect’s grandmaster’s whereabouts.

Medicine can heal, and it can also kill!

Though Medicine King Valley is termed ’Medicine King’, calling it ’Poison King’ wouldn’t be inappropriate either.

Hence, within the grandmaster circle, Medicine King Valley’s grandmaster is often called the old poison master.

"The grandmaster is busy with other matters and can’t greet personally. Please forgive us." Medicine King Valley’s sect master replied with a smile.

Actually, he was quite troubled.

One Ye Changsheng, a wanderer among grandmasters.

One Lu Xiaobu, known for stirring things up everywhere!

Two big troublemakers in Medicine King Valley at their Hundred Medicine Conference, felt like something was bound to happen!

Therefore, he must find a way to keep an eye on these two!

If they ruin the conference, so be it, but they mustn’t disrupt that matter, as it’s Medicine King Valley’s last hope!

"Stop the nonsense." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, interrupting Ye Changsheng.

Ye Changsheng shrugged, and stayed silent.

Medicine King Valley’s sect master, seeing this, perceived Lu Xiaobu’s presence significantly heavier.

Ye Changsheng actually complied with Lu Xiaobu?!

This definitely wasn’t insignificant news!

Wouldn’t that mean Lu Xiaobu’s name equates to a Half Grandmaster?!

"Master Lu, is there anything you wish to ask?" Medicine King Valley’s sect master’s attitude improved further.

"Do you know about that Xiao Xiao? The little girl living in the side hall." Lu Xiaobu inquired.

"Xiao Xiao?" Medicine King Valley’s sect master was a bit puzzled.

With so many people in Medicine King Valley, how could he pay attention to a child’s name?

This question stumped him...

At this moment, someone intervened to rescue him, but it wasn’t really helpful.

"Sect Master, you must help our He Family!"
