398 Master, Please Enter the Residence
What a large fanfare. She wondered how Shangguan Patriarch felt about his son-in-law… Could the gender requirement not be so rigid?
Seeing that Dong Xi was still in a daze, the maids said, “Master, please enter the residence.”
At this time, Dong Xi was riding a tiger and had no way to back down. If she did not go, it would be slapping the Shangguan family’s face.
Dong Xi braced herself and came down from the roof. She patted the dust on her clothes and said, “Umm… Go in?”
“Please come in, Master,” the maids said.
Rui Ming and Tie Zhu saw Dong Xi being brought in and immediately became anxious.
What… What is this?
Junior Sister… She’s a woman!
After Dong Xi entered the Shangguan Residence, the gate closed again. The onlookers then dispersed, leaving behind sounds of regret.
Rui Ming and Tie Zhu looked at each other. This matter was a little out of their expectations.
“Junior Brother, did Junior Sister…” Tie Zhu said. “She went in just like that?”
“I’m also a little confused.” Rui Ming shook his head.
“What should we do?” Tie Zhu asked. “Should we go back now?”
Rui Ming shook his head and said, “No. When Shangguan Patriarch finds out that something is wrong, Junior Sister will be in danger. I want to stay. Maybe I can help Junior Sister.”
“If I grabbed the embroidered ball, wouldn’t this have happened?” Tie Zhu sighed.
“Me too.” Rui Ming nodded.
Tie Zhu stared at Rui Ming with his eyes wide open. Tie Zhu said in surprise, “You?”
Rui Ming nodded seriously. Tie Zhu immediately laughed and said, “Haha, you? You don’t even have hair… Hahaha.”
When Rui Ming heard Tie Zhu’s words, he frowned and said, “Senior Brother, I have fur all over my body!”
Tie Zhu, “…”
Tie Zhu could not stop laughing. He hugged Rui Ming’s neck and said, “Junior Brother, you’re really interesting. Let’s go back first and send a message to Junior Sister. We’ll see what happens.”
At this time, Dong Xi was alone in the house. The place was decorated with shells and corals, and the pillars around it were covered with shimmering shark gauze.
Dong Xi said in her heart, ‘Big Snake, save me! Don’t sleep anymore, wake up quickly. Big Snake, wake up quickly. I’ve been waiting for the wind and rain, waiting for you.’
…
There was no response for a long time, and Dong Xi immediately became anxious.
What should she do? When Shangguan Patriarch comes, Dong Xi should just tell the truth. Shangguan Patriarch should not be so unreasonable…
Just as Dong Xi was about to give up on herself, Su Cheng’s voice rang in her mind.
“Did you get into trouble?” Su Cheng asked hoarsely.
To Dong Xi, this voice was like the sound of salvation. She quickly sat up straight and said excitedly, “Big Snake, you’re finally awake. If you continue sleeping, I’m going to get a wife.”
Su Cheng was speechless.
“What?” Su Cheng asked in confusion. “A wife?”
How old was this little girl?
No, this girl was a woman. How could she marry another woman?
Su Cheng was still puzzled when Dong Xi said, “I came here to watch the show, but who knew that the embroidered ball would come to me? At that time, I thought that Senior Brother Rui Ming’s things were here, so I caught the embroidered ball. Now that I’ve entered the Shangguan Residence, I’ll immediately enter the bridal chamber… What should he do? If Shangguan Patriarch finds out, can he kill me?”
“Let’s see if he dares!” Su Cheng said coldly.
Hearing Su Cheng’s words, Dong Xi felt much more at ease.
It was great to have a backer.
“Then I’ll tell the truth later. I don’tw ant to waste Miss Shangguan’s time,” said Dong Xi.
“No need. Didn’t you say that Senior Brother’s things are here?” Su Cheng said directly. “Let’s find it first.”
“But…” Dong Xi said. When Shangguan Patriarch comes in, won’t he find out that I’m a woman?”
“Don’t worry, we won’t find out,” said Su Cheng.
Dong Xi was instantly overjoyed. She said, “With your assurance, I can show my skills.”
This time, Su Cheng ignored her. Footsteps could be heard from outside the house.
Dong Xi adjusted her state of mind. Just as she sat down, the door was opened.
Shangguan Patriarch entered with two maids.
“Good skills, Fellow Daoist,” said Shangguan Patriarch with cupped fists.
“Senior, you flatter me. I’m not even a ten-thousandth as skilled as you are.” Dong Xi immediately stood up and bowed.
Shangguan Patriarch sized up this youth who was not even as tall as his daughter. No, he could be called a child.
“How old are you, Fellow Daoist?” Shangguan Patriarch asked. “What spirit root?”
“Junior’s aptitude is dull. I have three spirit roots. There’s no time to cultivate. I can’t even remember how long I’ve been cultivating for,” said Dong Xi.
This was the art of speech. Only when there was truth and falsehood could one be confused.
Shangguan Patriarch nodded. After a moment, he sighed and said ,”Forget it, this is all fate.”
