Chapter 127

Zixiu could not find a loophole in Nangong Du’s deduction for the moment. Besides, the latter looked both calm and confident. Therefore, he felt a little relieved. As he had acted not only as a blood donor but also as a technical instructor in the morning, got a good beating after moving the thatch all afternoon, and quarreled with Nangong Du for a long time at night, he was exhausted. Though he was still a little worried about his dad, he felt so sleepy that he fell asleep soon.

After some time, he was awakened by a rustling sound.

Startled, Zixiu subconsciously wanted to open his eyes to see what was going on. However, because of the drowsiness, he had not fully recovered his consciousness yet. After wrestling with himself for quite a while, he barely opened an eye.

Though his mind was not very clear from sleep, from the dim light in the room, he could tell it was still dark outside! So, he fell asleep again, completely forgetting what he had opened his eye for.

‘How come Liu Zixiu is so unwary?’ Nangong Du thought helplessly. However, this didn’t affect him, and instead, this encouraged his arrogant attitude when he looked with an innocent look at Liu Wuyi who was standing at the door. Again, Liu Wuyi witnessed that his son was clinging to Nangong Du in bed!

“Wake up, Zixiu!” Nangong Du went on acting. To look more real and not to provoke Liu Wuyi, he did not address Zixiu as “darling” in front of his “father-in-law”. “Wake up, Zixiu, your dad is back! Wake up!”

“Huh? Um…” Half-awake, Zixiu turned his head unconsciously, muttered a few words, and became motionless again.

After waiting for a moment, Nangong Du heard no response from Liu Wuyi, so he reached out and gently pushed the one who had his head on his shoulder and was going to sleep again. To be honest, although he had a few consorts, male concubines, and was a frequent visitor to the brothel, he rarely slept with others. To be more precise, he hated having physical contact with others! He used to be on the same bed with Liu Zixiu, which was what the situation needed. Besides, as each of them was under their own quilt, it was tolerable for him. However, the night before, he could not remember when Liu Zixiu had stuck to his shoulder.  Of course, what he hated more was that he had to wake him up like a servant!  And the most annoying thing was that Liu Zixiu was drooling!

Beyond endurance, this arrogant prince secretly kicked Zixiu under the quilt while pushing him.

“Ah!!” Feeling the pain, Zixiu let out a scream and finally woke up. He was in the habit of sleeping in, so he was always a little annoyed whenever he was forced to get up early. Got kicked, he lost his temper and started yelling.

“Who… cough…” As soon as he opened his mouth, he choked on his own saliva.

“Disgusting!” Nangong Du spat the word with disdain.

Hearing that, Zixiu suddenly stopped coughing. He looked up, blinking his sleepy eyes, and gradually focused his attention on the person in front of him. It was Nangong Du who was hurling abuse at him!

The next second, he turned his head and was about to bite Nangong Du, aiming at his shoulder, but at the thought of how aggressive this pervert was, he changed his mind. He moved his mouth closer and deliberately stained Nangong Du’s clothes with his saliva while muttering, “How dare you frown upon me like that? Damn it! You asshole, how dare you say I’m disgusting…“

Given the fact that Zixiu was making a crazy “attack” on him with his mouth, it would be easy for this crafty prince to confuse Liu Wuyi by trying to turn black and white upside down. However, feeling like he was drowning in someone’s saliva, he stopped acting. With a sullen look, he tried to push away the “lunatic” who was hanging on his shoulder.

Unlike him, Zixiu was not sick, and after a night’s rest, he was very energetic at this moment, so there was no way that Nangong Du could get rid of him easily. Holding his arm tightly, Zixiu complained while rubbing his mouth against his clothes, “You damned pervert! You made me so sick that I even threw up when I was in your mansion! Why didn’t you think I was disgusting back then?”

“Cough! Cough!” Liu Wuyi wanted to watch the show while packing up, but as he felt ashamed to see his son become narcissistic again, he interrupted Zixiu in a hurry. “Zixiu, get up and pack up your things. Go down the mountain with me!”

“Go down the mountain?!” Only then did Zixiu realize his dad was back!

The reason for going down the mountain was very simple. Liu Wuyi briefly explained it to Zixiu. When he saw Nangong Du and Xingyi in their house the day before, he knew that those killers would get into the Cirrus Valley sooner or later. As he did not want to just await the doom, he decided to leave before those people found them.

“But dad, there are so many of us. How can we escape?” Zixiu asked while packing up. He couldn’t wait to know what his dad had sneaked out for the night before. He was certain his dad must have known that there might be an ambush all over Mount Windward.

“I have arranged for everything. Just follow me!” Liu Wuyi was busy packing the quilts and bedsheets, so he had no time to explain in detail.

Zixiu was confused. “Are you going to take the quilts with us?”

Liu Wuyi did not reply. Just then, Liuxu came in with a broom in her hand. “Dad, it’s all done!” she said.

“Good!” With a nod, Liu Wuyi took the broom and said to the two of them, “Move all your quilts and bedsheets to the cellar!”

“The cellar?” Zixiu and Liuxu grew even more confused. Didn’t their dad say they were going down the mountain? Why didn’t he lead them away asap, but asked them to move these things to the cellar?

Of course, despite their doubts, they did as their dad told them.

When they came back from the cellar, they were stunned.

“Dad, what… What are you…” Zixiu was so shocked that he could not find a word to describe it. The room was very clean a few minutes ago, but now it was full of dust, and the roof and windows were even covered with spiderweb, which reminded him of the scene he saw when he had just returned home months ago!  However, it didn’t seem necessary to confuse the enemy with so much effort!

“I did this for your Uncle Yan. They will definitely come back, but I can’t wait for them here!” After explaining briefly, Liu Wuyi picked up the bags that lay in the doorway, and gave the order, “Let’s go!”
