Chapter 428: Chapter 428: He has no wounds on his body? Chapter 428: Chapter 428: He has no wounds on his body? Since they were going to leave, the old ancestor never held anyone back. If they wanted to go, they could go.
Old Li expressed his regret upon hearing the news.
Indeed, it was rare to find someone who had the fate to be associated with the young lady. He was already a lucky one.
Bai Chuwei smiled and said, “Arrange a guest room for the three of them that has a view of the Sky Garden.”
The butler, upon hearing this, nodded and said, “Sure, miss, rest assured.”
Su Ruan and the others exchanged glances and were instantly bewildered.
There really was a Sky Garden?
They weren’t talking about the Sky Garden that was one of the wonders abroad.
Instead, it was recorded in ancient Chinese books that someone had seen a garden in the sky two hundred years ago, a garden so beautiful it was beyond description.
Latter-day experts speculated that it must have been a mirage, an illusion, impossible to really exist!
Duan Xingye, Su Ruan, and Cao Yushu followed the butler towards the guest rooms.
Duan Xingye, with one hand pulling his suitcase, took out his phone from his pocket with the other and nervously sent a WeChat message to Duan Feihan.
[Xingye Liaoyuan: Uncle Si, Weiwei whipped Tang Ke ninety times plus two slaps, is that going to be a problem?]
He did not expect Duan Feihan to reply so promptly.
[Duan Feihan: No, I will handle it.]
Seeing this message, Duan Xingye felt much more at ease.
However, the butler beside them seemed to have noticed his action and chuckled, “Young student, don’t worry, there’s nobody in this world who can do anything to our miss.”
Ah… This old guy had an enigmatic trust in Bai Chuwei.
Suddenly, the butler’s expression turned solemn, startling the three of them: “Remember, young master Duan, that dog Tang Ke still owes our miss twelve lashes, waiting for him to come knocking on the door to repay them!”
The three kids couldn’t figure it out—Tang Ke wouldn’t dare retaliate against Bai Chuwei, would he? And he surely wouldn’t be crazy enough to come knocking just to get beaten, right?
Could it be… that Bai Chuwei belonged to the same generation as Tang Ke’s parents? Because of cultivation, her appearance hadn’t changed?
But could she, with the identity of an elder, withstand the Tang Family’s attacks, and what about the rest of the seven great families? This content belongs to novᴇlfire.net
It was really puzzling.
Tang Ke was thrown out while unconscious. When he came to, what caught his eye was a splendid crystal chandelier.
Propping himself up, Tang Ke looked around… it was his bedroom.
Tang Ke was utterly shocked; he had been knocked out by that woman, so why hadn’t he been taken to the hospital, but back home instead?
The butler came in after knocking on the door and, seeing that Tang Ke was awake, asked with concern, “Sir, did you drink too much? Why did you faint outside the mansion in Sky City?”
This idiotic butler! What good was he?
Tang Ke nearly roared, “I was whipped, and I’m all bruised. Why didn’t you take me to the hospital?”
As he raised his voice, he could feel the bone-penetrating pain, acute and severe.
The butler, sprayed with spittle, was somewhat baffled: “Whipped? But there are no injuries on you, sir.”
How was that possible?
Struggling, Tang Ke lifted his shirt and found to his amazement that there were no marks on his stomach, arms, or waist. His tan skin seemed very healthy…
It was like seeing a ghost.
Determined to get checked out, Tang Ke felt like he must have internal injuries.
Of course, Tang Ke had to be carried to the hospital; he was in too much pain to walk.
Nothing. The medical report showed he was in perfect health.
Tang Ke lifted his excruciatingly painful arm—he… was in perfect health?
Damn it, that damned hospital should just close down already!
A cold light flashed in Tang Ke’s eyes; that woman… that ignorant woman…!! That enchantress!
She really had whipped him eighty-eight times, leaving twelve outstanding…
“Sir, the heads of the other major families are sending letters asking how the preparations are going for this year’s family summit,” the butler asked from the side.
The so-called family summit was an occasion where the heads of the eight major families took turns hosting, gathering for three days to bond. This year, it happened to be the Tang Family’s turn.
Preparations be damned, he had been beaten to this state.
Suddenly, a shrewd glint crossed Tang Ke’s eyes as he asked, “Butler, if something happens to one of the family heads, the other families are obliged to help, aren’t they?”
