Da da da~
However, at this moment, there were clear footsteps at the bedroom door. Everyone turned to look, only to see a middle-aged man who exuded a gentle aura like a spring breeze, wearing black leather shoes and walking in, carrying an inherent air of authority.
"Long Cangjue?" Long Ling'Er whispered softly.
Indeed, this visitor was none other than the eldest among the eight brothers of the Long Family, Long Cangjue, also the father of Long Ao.
Among the eight brothers of the Long Family, it was Long Xiaoyun who had the most outstanding talent, otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Clan Leader of the Long Family. In his youth, Long Xiaoyun was unmatched by anyone in the Long Family. After Long Tianxiang retreated to Dragon Garden, he swept through the Long Family and forcefully assumed the position of Clan Leader.
Everyone else's expressions were tense, yet Xiao Tianyu still sat there playing games with a serious demeanor, as if he hadn't noticed Long Cangjue's arrival at all.
"Seventh Brother, is your injury any better?" Long Cangjue asked with a smile.
Long Ling'Er glanced at Long Cangjue, thinking, a weasel giving New Year greetings to chickens, definitely up to no good.
Long Xiaoyun remained unmoved, speaking indifferently, "I'm not dead yet!"
"In that case, I'm relieved!" Long Cangjue replied with a faint smile, walking towards the bedside and grasping Long Xiaoyun's wrist. Long Xiaoyun frowned slightly as a force surged into his arm.
Bang~
A sudden force rebounded Long Cangjue's arm, making him look grim, realizing that even a poisoned Long Xiaoyun was still beyond his adversary.
Thinking of this, Long Cangjue continued, "It's best that Seventh Brother is fine. This way, the Long Family won't be leaderless!"
"You better release my wife!" Long Xiaoyun's expression was cold.
"Seventh Brother, you're being too distant. Now that you're critically ill and the Long Family is in chaos, I merely protected your wife. Once you recover, I will personally bring her here!" Long Cangjue remained unfazed, continuing, "Seventh Brother, take your time to heal. I'll come to see you in a while!"
With that, Long Cangjue left the bedroom.
Pfft~
As soon as Long Cangjue left, Long Xiaoyun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, causing Long Ling'Er to cry out, "Dad!"
"Keep it down!" Long Xiaoyun glared at Long Ling'Er.
He had just been holding on; if Long Cangjue had stayed a bit longer, he might not have been able to hold it in, which would have definitely exposed him. If that happened, Long Cangjue would have nothing to restrain him anymore.
It was precisely because Long Cangjue still feared Long Xiaoyun, afraid that Long Xiaoyun might fight to the death, especially since there were still many people in the Long Family who supported Long Xiaoyun.
"Oh!" Long Ling'Er nodded, naturally understanding Long Xiaoyun's meaning.
"Uncle!" Lu Die'Er stepped forward, taking out an elixir and placing it in Long Xiaoyun's mouth. After swallowing, Long Xiaoyun's complexion improved slightly.
He said, "You must not speak of my injuries outside, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the two nodded, and Long Xiaoyun looked at Xiao Tianyu; however, Xiao Tianyu was still playing his game there. He said lightly, "Don't look at me like that; I won't say a word!"
"That's good!" Long Xiaoyun nodded, "Thanks for helping detoxify me earlier!"
"It was just a trivial effort, no need to thank me!" Xiao Tianyu said nonchalantly, causing Long Ling'Er to glare at him. This guy can't stop mentioning urine, can he?
Seriously, what a jerk.
But Long Xiaoyun told Long Ling'Er, "Ling'Er, go arrange lunch and let your Brother Xiao have a meal here!"
"Him?"
"Yes!"
"It'd be better to give him urine to drink!" Long Ling'Er glanced over.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu didn't mind, but Long Xiaoyun glared at Long Ling'Er. Can't we avoid mentioning that word?
"Alright, you all chat here, I'll take a walk outside. No need for lunch!" Xiao Tianyu stretched lazily, stood up, and showed a nonchalant expression.
Long Xiaoyun said, "How is that okay? Mr. Xiao saved my life, let me be a proper host!"
"We'll talk about it when you're better!"
"This..."
"Dad, rest assured, with me around, nothing will happen to this guy!" Long Ling'Er smiled gently, "Brother Xiao, let's go!"
"Where to?"
"To eat!"
"Oh!" Xiao Tianyu nodded.
"I'm going too!" Lu Die'Er blinked her beautiful eyes.
Xiao Tianyu said, "Forget it then!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Die'Er pouted, "Do you really dislike me?"
"That's what you said, not me!" Xiao Tianyu replied seriously.
"You..."
Xiao Tianyu continued, "I don't want trouble. Look at those people outside, which one doesn't look at you with leering eyes? If you walk with me, I can't handle that kind of animosity!"
"So, if you can't protect a beauty, you're not a man?" Lu Die'Er glanced at Xiao Tianyu with her beautiful eyes, while Xiao Tianyu shrugged, "Say whatever you like, Ling'Er, let's go!"
"You... you..." Lu Die'Er gasped in anger. Could it be real that there's a man who finds her a burden? She's one of the four great beauties of the Imperial Capital, shouldn't she be cherished by men?
Xiao Tianyu ignored her, taking Long Ling'Er's hand and leaving the room, leaving Lu Die'Er dumbfounded.
Da da da~
Yet, Lu Die'Er still followed on with her strides, determined to go along despite being told not to.
Soon, the three arrived in the backyard. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~ There were still many eyes brazenly staring at Lu Die'Er, causing her to display a look of disgust. She quickened her pace to catch up to Xiao Tianyu, but Xiao Tianyu didn't bother waiting for her, leaving Lu Die'Er bewildered. Does this jerk truly not know how to be gentle?
Lu Die'Er hatched a plan, hum ~ since you're afraid I'll be a burden, I'll be a burden on purpose.
Thinking this, Lu Die'Er affectionately said to Xiao Tianyu, "Hubby, can't you slow down a bit? I'm tired, I want a hug..."
The voice was so soft and tender, it's almost impossible for any man to refuse.
Xiao Tianyu was stunned, what is this woman doing calling him "hubby"? That's not something to call casually, and where have I heard that before?
What's going on?
Hubby~
As soon as Lu Die'Er uttered this phrase, the entire backyard seemed to fall silent. One of the four goddesses, Lu Die'Er, calling that guy hubby? Is that a joke?
Lu Die'Er is mine.
Hey you, don't walk away, I challenge you to a duel.
Clearly, I'm better looking than him, why does Lu Die'Er like him?
This isn't fair.
Especially the prodigies from Heaven Slayer Academy, their gazes were extremely grim. Which of them didn't surpass that guy in talent? In terms of background, he couldn't compare either.
Even Long Ao's expression stiffened, when Lu Die'Er came to the Long Family, Long Ao was all flattering, yet Lu Die'Er didn't even glance at him. But now, Lu Die'Er, in front of everyone, called an obscure man hubby.
Unbearable, absolutely unbearable.
