Chapter 434: Arrival of Liu She

That sound left a lasting impression on Liyun, but he missed his teacher a lot and did not give it much thought.

Liyun and his teacher lived in the secluded deep mountains and forest for many years. It is an isolated area, on steep terrain, yet he felt it was familiar and close to his heart.

Even with his eyes closed, he could come and go as he willed.

“Teacher! Your disciple is back!”

He pushed open the straw hut, his smile froze on his face. There was no one in the house, a lot of dust accumulated at the table and stove.

“Teacher?” Liyun pursed his lips tightly. Since he can remember, his teacher has never left this mountain, but upon observing the thick layer of dust, it must have been a long time since someone occupied the house… where did his teacher go?

After pondering, Liyun pulled apart the torn and tattered curtain to the inner house, bent his back to enter and felt beneath his teacher’s mattress where there was a small dent his teacher often hid his items. He did it with an attitude to try, the tip of his fingers touched a hard scroll like item, upon retrieving it, it turned out to be a scroll containing a message.

Just like the impression his teacher gave, he has a spear like figure, he’s as bold as a vanguard so was his handwriting:

“Foolish disciple, read these words.

You have grown up and are able to take care of yourself. Your teacher is very relieved. When you see this letter, your teacher will have already left to seek revenge. If I am alive, naturally I will return, unfortunately if I am defeated and die at the hands of my enemy, remember to seek revenge on my behalf.

Your beloved teacher, Xie Qian.”

He widened his eyes in unbelief, Liyun re-read the letter countless times. Eventually, he helplessly accepted that his own teacher indeed went to take revenge…only, he followed his teacher for years but never heard of any enemies he had…

Would it be too dangerous to seek revenge, is the enemy too mighty for him?

Liyun’s head was muddled and in chaos, his entire being seemed to have lost his senses.

Some time passed before he rose up to fill the wooden basin with water from the pool. He tidied the house till it was sparkling clean.

Night passed, he sought the brush and wrote down his location on the bamboo sheet and returned it back to its original position.

If his teacher returned safe and sound, surely, he would follow the clues to find him.

As he carefully closed the doors to the straw house, Liyun left feeling disappointed.

Concurrently, when Liyun went to the mountains to find his teacher, Xiangyang district welcomed some unexpected guests.

Striding along the twilight of the setting sun, a large scale of more than fifty people approached the west city gate in horse-drawn carriages.

Presently, the security at Xiangyang district is very tight, one has to be checked strictly before one is allowed to enter or exit.

The soldier who guarded the city wanted to step forth to question them, when a wooden emblem flew towards him. He caught it with a clearly bewildered expression.

“Get someone with more sense over. The person in the carriage is not someone you are fit to examine.”

The soldier immediately became infuriated.

Who was this? Someone dared to be ostentatious at the Xiangyang district?

As his anger was about to flare into action, the soldier beside him stopped him and signalled to him with his eyes to examine the ethnic emblem on the horse carriage.

An ethnic emblem?

The soldier lowered his eyes to see the wooden emblem, then turned to see the unassuming horse carriage behind the crowd.

Both carried the willow leaf shaped grain on their carriage, they looked like a few willow leaves, truthfully forming the word “Liu” in an exquisite design.

But…didn’t this pattern seem familiar?

“Why are you in a daze? Isn’t that the ethnic emblem for district magistrate Liu!” his companion reminded him softly.

The soldier trembled and lost his grip on the wooden emblem, and he stepped forward fearfully and asked politely, “To the honourable person within, are you a relative of district magistrate Liu?”

His higher authorities did not notify him of the arrival of any Liu’s recently, as the guard of the city, he felt rather aggrieved and was worried that he will lose his job.

That person smiled and replied, “This honourable person is indeed a close family member of district magistrate Liu. Hurry and report my arrival to prevent any delays.”

At this, the soldier was sorely afraid. He immediately returned the wooden emblem, and said, “Please wait, my Lord. Your servant will report this matter.”

Even so, this soldier was still cautious, he didn’t report directly to the district magistrate but rather sought for Feng Jin.

“The Lord’s family member is here?”

Feng Jin furrowed his brows, the Lord’s family members are mostly in Hejian. Liu She is far off in Chongzhou, how is it possible for them to be here in Xiangyang district?

Regardless, he would see for himself personally…then the truth or the lie will be revealed.

“Lead the way.”

He finished speaking and walked towards the city gates first.

He was 80% convinced at the sight of the horse carriage.

At this moment, the carriage curtains were opened from within, revealing a somewhat familiar face.

Feng Jin did not lose his composure. Why did Liu She traverse from the borders of Chongzhou to Xiangyang district?

“Huaiyu, don’t announce this publicly,” Liu She whispered, concealing his exhaustion, “Let’s enter the city.”

As Liyun is on leave, no one could oversee the matters in the field. Jiang Pengji stepped up to handle it personally.

She wore a pair of straw shoes, held a pair of wooden clogs in her hands, leisurely strolling back to the city.

Her trousers were rolled upwards above her knees, her fair legs are now full of mud, her long, black hair was bun up casually using twine.

During her journey home, she rubbed her hungry stomach and took out some coins from her pocket to buy two steam buns. She held one in her hands and the other in her mouth, without reminders, in fact, no one will recognise her as the district magistrate of Xiangyang.

Thus, Liu She saw his daughter in her sloppy state.

Upon seeing Liu She, Jiang Pengji was so appalled that she forgot to bite her steam bun.

The livestream audience and the streamer’s companions are shocked too.

Feng Jin and the others waited silently in the hall, her rightful seat was taken by a breathtakingly charming middle-aged man. Aging did not have its effects on Liu She, the white hair that grew from his temples only magnified his maturity, time has shown favour on this man, he only looked even more mesmerizing than before… Nevertheless, this is not crucial, more importantly, why is Liu She here?

A magistrate usually cannot leave his area of supervision without an imperial order.

Jiang Pengji held a steam bun in her mouth while shouting in a muffled voice: “Father?”

Liu She glanced at Jiang Pengji’s wild appearance in disbelief. This made his head even more dazed than before.

How bizarre that he had raised this to be his daughter.

“Father, why are you here in Xiangyang? We live in times of disorder now…”

Jiang Pengji swallowed her steamed bun in less than two mouthfuls. She saw the sparkling clean floor just as she’s about to lift her feet and step into the main hall, then looked at her own two feet full of mud and silently stepped back. “I will go wash up… please wait, Father. Huaiyu, please help to host my father first…”

The mud on her feet was washed off and Jiang Pengji let down her trouser legs and wore her wooden clogs, walking with steady footsteps to meet Liu She.

Her actions intending to conceal her previous wildness will surely be condemned by the audience.

Jintian Wugengo: Rubbish streamer, your father has seen your most unruly state yet what use if you appear so neat and stable now! It is hilarious to see both the streamer’s father and the streamer’s facial expression. This reminds me of a when a father catches his son watching pornography.

Nicaishizhen Shijia: Pity the streamer’s father, he must be doubtful if he reared a fake daughter.

Liu She examined her from top to bottom with a scrutinizing expression.

“Come over and let your father see…you’ve gotten thinner and grown taller than before…”
