Lin Tianfeng sighed. “Sigh, we naturally must go! However, our only first-grade transportation formation in Grotto-Heaven Cliff is broken at this crucial time, so we’re delayed! We still need two more days to fix it… You are dismissed first. I’ll personally write a reply and explain the reasons clearly…”

“Yes!” Upon hearing this, the guard hurriedly went down.

Lin Tianfeng stood in the courtyard for a while before he turned around to walk into the house. He furrowed his brows tightly, clearly worried about all these matters.

On the one hand, His Grace’s birthday banquet was approaching. It would definitely be bad if they continued dragging it. Grotto-Heaven Cliff’s status originally wasn’t high. If they made a mistake at this crucial time, it would be adding fuel to the fire!

On the other hand, he was even more frustrated as he had just learned of Lin Zhifei’s health situation.

He walked to the duo and looked at Chu Liuyue worriedly. “Ms. Dugu, look… Can you really not make some time? As long as you can treat Zhifei, my Lin family will definitely treat you as our important guest!”

Lin Zhifei looked down, his expression light. “It’s life no matter if I live or die. Father, don’t force Ms. Dugu—”

“It’s not that there’s no way,” said Chu Liuyue suddenly.

Lin Tianfeng’s eyes lit up. “Ms. Dugu, please go on!”

Chu Liuyue smiled and seemingly asked nonchalantly, “Just now, I heard that Master Lin is going to attend… His Grace’s banquet?”

Lin Tianfeng paused and didn’t hide it. “Yeah.”

Quite a few people knew about this matter now, so it was not something he couldn’t say.

Chu Liuyue looked nonchalant, but she gradually clenched her fists in her sleeves. She asked every word clearly, “I wonder if His Grace’s name is… Rong Xiu?”

“Ms. Dugu, mind your words!” Lin Tianfeng suddenly widened his eyes, and he instinctively hollered, “How can you and I casually call His Grace’s name?”

Chu Liuyue’s heart sank. As expected! This ‘His Grace’… is indeed Rong Xiu! Then, it seems like the birthday banquet and the contest for the position of princess consort are real?

Chu Liuyue was silent for a moment, and she suddenly laughed. So when he said he was busy, he was talking about… this?

“Master Lin, don’t mind me. I’m just asking casually, and I have no intentions of offending anyone.” Chu Liuyue leaned against the chair and gently knocked on the handle as she smiled.

However, Dugu Mobao—who was right beside her—could clearly feel the coldness exuding from her body. He raised his brows slightly, and a faint light flashed across his sinister purple eyes.

“I previously said that I was rus.h.i.+ng to a place, and it’s actually the same place as the one you’re going to, Master Lin. So if Master Lin and Fourth Young Master don’t mind, why don’t… we go together? This way, we won’t delay either of our matters. On the other hand, I can constantly check the Fourth Young Master’s body on the way and nurse him back to health as soon as possible. I wonder what the two of you think of this?”

Lin Tianfeng thought for a moment and was quite tempted. This is indeed a good suggestion.

“Ms. Dugu… you’re going there too?” He looked at Chu Liuyue in shock. That place isn’t somewhere that everyone can go! Besides, Dugu Yue is from outside the G.o.d Residence realm, and it would be even harder for her to go there.

“May I know what you’re going there for?” The matter was important, and Lin Tianfeng didn’t want to cause trouble for himself.

A thought popped up in Chu Liuyue’s mind. She suddenly looked at Dugu Mobao at the side.

Dugu Mobao had a feeling that something was wrong!

As expected, the next moment, Chu Liuyue’s eyes turned slightly red as she lightly said, “I’m not afraid of you laughing if I say it. Actually, this time, I came along with Big Baby because…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she used her sleeves to cover her face and sniffed.

Dugu Mobao’s eyelids harshly twitched, and he clenched his tiny fists tightly. If not for his last bit of rationality, he would’ve directly exploded!

Lin Tianfeng and Lin Zhifei sized him up and saw a hint of a ripple on Dugu Mobao’s face that usually didn’t have any expression.

Agitated? Angry?

“W-we were originally in love with each other. Then, he said he had something on, so he had to leave for a while first. But after much waiting, he didn’t come back… Hence, I thought of bringing Big Baby along to look for him…”

The father-son duo exchanged glances and understood in their hearts. So she came to look for the child’s father!

“I know nothing about his ident.i.ty and his background. I only heard him say something about ‘Your Grace,’ but I don’t know his specific ident.i.ty… So if Master Lin and Fourth Young Master can help me, I’ll be very grateful!” Chu Liuyue curtly finished her story. Even though there were only a few mere sentences, every single word and sentence was filled with sorrow and grievance, causing other people to feel the same way when they heard it and were even moved by it.

A wave of ripples appeared in Lin Zhifei’s eyes. “Ms. Dugu… May I know the surname of the person you’re looking for, or perhaps I should address you as ‘Madam?’”

Chu Liuyue laughed bitterly. “You should just address me the same way as before. Who knows if his… surname is real?”

Lin Tianfeng stroked his beard. That side does indeed sometimes send some people outside the G.o.d Residence Realm to complete some missions, so perhaps a soldier has let down this Dugu Yue… Originally, I didn’t want to intervene in such a conflict, but Zhifei can’t leave her side.

After much thinking, Lin Tianfeng said, “Ms. Dugu, your suggestion might work, but there’s one condition. I hope that you’ll wait for us to finish our matters when we get there; then, we’ll think about the search for your friend. To compensate you, we can also send people to help you find him at that time, okay?”

As long as we can successfully partic.i.p.ate in the birthday banquet and secretly look for the person afterward without making a big deal out of the matter, it will be acceptable.

Chu Liuyue gradually smiled. “Then, Big Baby and I will thank you here first, Master, Fourth Young Master! Don’t worry. No matter if I find him or not, Big Baby and I won’t cause trouble for you!”

As she spoke, she even shot Dugu Mobao a look. “Big Baby, hurry up and thank them.”

Dugu Mobao took a deep breath in and hopelessly closed his eyes.

“Big Baby? Big Baby?” Chu Liuyue waved her hands.

Dugu Mobao forced his eyes wide open, and every single word seemed to be squeezed out of the gaps of his teeth. “Thank. You!”

Even though his expression was amiss, he was luckily a chubby ball with a child-like voice, so he didn’t seem strange. On the other hand, the Lin family father-son duo felt that he was upset toward his irresponsible ‘father’.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhifei sighed lightly. “It’s always hard on mothers.”

Chu Liuyue smiled delightfully. Thinking of Dugu Mobao’s aura that was so scarily low, she didn’t continue on with this topic.

“Then, this is a deal. For convenience’s sake, you’ll disguise as Zhifei’s personal accompaniment when we get there,” said Lin Tianfeng. “If not, one isn’t allowed to add people suddenly.”

Chu Liuyue nodded in grat.i.tude.. “Thank you, Master Lin. Thank you, Fourth Young Master!”
