He looked at the beautiful sister-in-law with a bad look and asked.
"I went to meet you outside the mansion. When I returned to the living room, I heard the maid say that she accidentally spilled tea on her skirt, so she came here to change her clothes. I rushed over when I thought of you being here."
"I see. I will apologize to her."
"Humph."
Wei Buqi gazed at her receding figure thoughtfully. The image of Princess Kang's lake green palace skirt that was torn in the wind and her perfect body beneath the skirt appeared before his eyes. This woman was truly stunningly beautiful.
"How could she be Princess Kang..."
The great villain whispered silently.
He did guess her identity the moment he saw her just now, but in the fleeting glimpse he got at the Lin family, he never thought that she was the only princess of the Li'an Mansion.
It wasn't that he was negligent, but that he got the wrong information. When Lin Zhuoyue mistakenly thought that he was being manipulated by the poisonous incense and ordered him to attack Princess Kang, what she said at that time was "You go and knock down a woman with dark blue hair."
"Princess Kang clearly has black hair, why did Lin Zhuoyue say she has blue hair?"
Wei Buqi touched his chin.
In his opinion, there was something wrong with this princess, so he tried to test her. When he swung his sword at her, he only used the level of an ordinary cultivator who had broken through the first level, but she was like an ordinary mortal who had no ability to resist.
Rather than believing that she was a weak woman who could not even lift a finger, he preferred to think that she was a woman of hidden talents, which was reflected in her humble figure. She looked ordinary when she was dressed neatly, but once she took off her clothes, she would remind people of the immeasurable sea. Her talents far surpassed all the women he knew, and she could be said to have a broad mind.
"Ok?"
Wei Buqi had just gotten up from the bathtub and was getting dressed. He walked in with his head down towards Ji and reported something to him.
"You said she went back?"
He narrowed his eyes immediately.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Kang should have left the Wei residence by now."
Asahime whispered.
"After she changed her clothes, she insisted on leaving without even seeing the eldest young lady."
Wei Buqi nodded. If one understands her from an ordinary perspective, it is reasonable for her to do so.
"Do you see anything unusual about her?"
He asked with a gentle smile.
"This one……"
Asahime went forward to help him change his clothes.
"I don't see anything wrong with Your Highness."
She guessed that the Second Master Wei might want to know about Princess Kang and his sister-in-law.
"She met the eldest young lady at a flower viewing party a year ago. Since then, our two families have had contacts, and she often comes to visit the Wei Mansion."
Wei Buqi nodded slightly and asked no more questions.
It was not yet noon, and the Wei family had prepared a banquet in advance because of a distinguished guest. Unexpectedly, the guest left before he even had his meal.
The delicacies were served and the family of three sat around the round table. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the eldest young lady, who was sitting in the seat of honor, was unhappy.
"Mother."
Xiao Xiangwu, who was sitting in her uncle's arms, asked doubtfully.
"Didn't you say Aunt Ling is here?"
Wei Buqi held his niece in his arms and put a chicken leg in her bowl, trying to shut her up. The person she was talking about was of course Princess Ling of Kang Wang. She was just talking about something else.
"Ah."
Ning Shu glanced at her brother-in-law charmingly.
"Ask your uncle!"
Chapter 20: Chao Ji: Don’t treat my sister like a dog!
"What's wrong?"
Wei Xiangwu blinked her big eyes and looked at Wei Buqi.
"fine."
He rubbed his chin against the soft black hair of the little girl in his arms.
"Your Aunt Ling went back for something."
Xiao Xiangwu nodded, but didn't ask any further questions. She stretched out her little hand, picked up the chicken leg in the bowl and brought it to his mouth.
"Let's eat together."
Wei Buqi smiled and took a bite of the chicken leg.
Ning Shu was speechless as she watched the scene of deep affection between uncle and nephew.
Her damn brother-in-law is really good at coaxing children.
"Uncle cheated me yesterday!"
Xiangwu suddenly wrinkled her pink nose and pulled back the chicken leg that he had taken a bite of, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"When did I coax you?"
Wei Buqi asked doubtfully.
"It was last night!"
She said, puffing her cheeks.
"You said you would hold me while I slept, but as soon as I fell asleep you and Chao Ji went to another room. I saw it when I woke up this morning."
Ning Shu narrowed her beautiful eyes immediately, and stared at her brother-in-law who still smiled dimly, and snorted imperceptibly.
"It's my fault. I won't leave the fragrance mist behind next time. Please don't be mad at me, okay?"
Wei Buqi rubbed his niece's head gently.
"It's agreed~"
Wei Xiangwu then smiled.
"No weapon."
Ning Shu said with a stern face at this time.
"In a few days, come with me to the Kangwang Mansion to apologize to Her Royal Highness the Princess. She will not hold you responsible, but you can't just pretend nothing happened."
Wei Buqi nodded in agreement.
Given what he did to Princess Kang, if it were someone else, even ten lives would not be enough.
The princess didn't want to ask him about his crime, but she was powerless. Her husband was just an idle prince, and he had to kowtow to Prime Minister Wei. If she wanted him to pay the price, she had to risk her life and make the matter bigger. But even if she did so, the result would only be a mess.
……
"Mr. Yang."
Wei Buqi returned to Qingyuyuan after lunch.
"I need your help with something."
He stood under the willow tree in the courtyard, the warm wind blew along the lake, the gray-green willow branches caressed his face, it was so pleasant. Yang Shaocheng stood behind him, listening to him attentively.
"Use the Chongming Guard to help me find out the connection between Xu Yuanwang and Earl Taining. Also, I want all the information about Princess Kang."
Envoy Yang paused and nodded.
"I understand."
After what happened yesterday, he certainly would no longer regard the Second Young Master Wei as a playboy. He even thought that all the extraordinary qualities he showed were just the tip of the iceberg beneath his playboy appearance.
"correct."
Wei Buqi turned around and gave him a smile as gentle as jade.
"Sir, you are Dao Xiu, right?"
Yang Shaocheng was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to suddenly talk about cultivation, and nodded.
"There are eight buckets of cultivators in the world, and I am one of them."
Wei Buqi responded calmly, and suddenly he took out a jade book with "Questioning the Sword" written on it.
"I have been practicing in the Sword Sect for many years. As one of the four sects under the Four Immortal Sects, our sect is full of sword practitioners. We follow the path of practice that is closest to that of a cultivator, and have always been regarded as a part of Taoism. The classics of our sect are extensive and profound. Although I have studied them for several years, I have gained very little. Could you please interpret the classics for me, sir?"
He handed over the Sword-Asking Sect classic in his hand.
"This……"
Yang Shaocheng was half surprised and half happy.
The sages of the human race have opened up countless evolutionary methods. There are seven mainstream cultivation methods in the world, and the source of all of them is Taoism. Among the seven holy places established when Daqi was founded, four are immortal gates composed of Taoist practitioners, which shows the status of Taoist practitioners!
Sword cultivation is the branch that is closest to the origin of Taoism. The Sword-Asking Sect is also recognized as a Taoist sect by the four major immortal sects. The handed-down classics of this sect can be compared with the inheritance of the holy land, and have immeasurable value for Taoist cultivation. Even if the Sword-Asking Sect now submits to Elder Wei, they are unwilling to open all magical powers to the Wei party. Now that the most fundamental method of the Sword-Asking Sect is in front of him, how can he not be moved?
"Please, sir, give me a lecture."
Wei Buqi smiled and pushed the jade book in his hand in front of him.
It's just a scripture. Everything in the Wenjian Sect belongs to him, so of course he wants to make the best use of it.
How could he not try his best to win over such a capable and great cultivator? In his opinion, Mr. Yang still had a great deal of surplus value that could be developed.
"Thank you, sir."
Yang Shaocheng took the scripture solemnly.
"You go do your business."
Wei Buqi smiled gently and raised his hand to brush the fallen leaves off his shoulders. He lowered his head and said "yes", then turned and left.
"It's so noisy."
He watched Envoy Yang walk away, then slowly took out an iron ball. The ball vibrated in his hand, and one or two low roars reached his ears.
"I have to keep you locked up for a few more days~"
