The little sister is a troublemaker

Xiangyun City, City Lord’s Mansion.

The courtyard where the Regent was was surrounded by his men. The maids and servants of the City Lord's Mansion would walk a few steps faster every time they passed by, for fear of being spotted by the other side.

In the study, Chu Chenfeng was leaning on a soft couch, holding a military book in his hand. In front of him, a small person was kneeling straight.

Chu Chenfeng looked up at the sky outside. Well, it was getting late. He put down the book in his hand and looked at the little figure with cold eyes. "What? Are you still not convinced?"

The child looked up and saw that this person was Chu Jie. He had a blank expression on his face, like a little adult, "My nephew wouldn't dare."

"Don't dare? I think you dare." Chu Chenfeng stood up, "You left the palace without permission, without even a guard. What do you want to do? You don't care about your own safety. What did I teach you?"

Chu Jie's eyes instantly turned red, "Those are all the emperor's uncle's people. If I take them with me, can I still leave?"

Chu Chenfeng snorted coldly, "You still think you're right?"

"Nephew, I dare not." The little guy lowered his head again, looking a little aggrieved.

Chu Chenfeng sighed and looked at the child who had obviously become thinner. "Did you find the person you were looking for?"

Chu Jie pursed his lips, "Not yet."

"It's no use."

Chu Jie was a little dejected, "I will find it."

"Does he have to be the one?"

Chu Jie raised his head and looked at the uncle. He knew that the uncle looked cold, but he was always very attentive to him and was his only relative. "Uncle, I want him. If he can teach my father, he can teach me."

"It took Dean Liu a lot of effort to agree to this."

"I know that Dean Liu is very good, but I just want Master Li to teach me. Uncle, please agree to my request this time."

"Humph, if I don't agree with you, you'll run away from home?"

"I..." Chu Jie lowered his head.

"Do you know how many people have to bear the consequences because of what happened to you? The first one to bear the brunt is Xiao Linzi who has been taking care of you."

Chu Jie turned pale instantly and grabbed Chu Chenfeng's sleeve, "Uncle, you... you killed Xiao Linzi?"

Chu Chenfeng flicked his sleeves and said, "Humph, are you worried now? Didn't you think about the consequences when you did this?"

"Uncle Emperor..." Chu Jie was almost crying.

Chu Chenfeng was not soft-hearted at all. "Go back and reflect on yourself. As for Master Li, after all he has gone through, does he still have the ability to teach you? I will give you a reply after I figure it out."

"Uncle..."

"This is already the biggest concession I have ever made. Don't push your luck."

"Yes, nephew knows."

"Let Xingyi take you back. Haha, you probably don't want your new friends to know your identity for the time being, right?"

"Uncle, I..."

"Go back and think carefully about what I said today. Will you still be so reckless in doing things in the future?"

"Yes."

As soon as Xing came in, he took the young master away.

Chu Chenfeng looked out the window with cold eyes, Li Cong, I hope you won’t let me down.

When Li Mulan and Huo Yuanruo returned to the inn, they saw Qingyu, who looked a little anxious, hurried out.

"Sister? Where are you going?"

Qingyu was relieved when she saw Li Mulan. "Xiaojiu is back. Hey, Xiaojie disappeared not long after returning from the mine. I don't know where the kid went."

Huo Yuanruo said nonchalantly, "Sister Qingyu, why are you worried about him? That boy is very righteous and smart, he will be fine."

Li Mulan was also a little worried. "No matter how smart she is, she is still a child. Let's go look for her. After all, we brought her to Xiangyun City. I hope nothing really happens to her."

"Sister Lan, Sister Qingyu, Brother Yuanruo." Chu Jie trotted over, looking very happy.

Of course I was happy that the emperor's uncle had relented. I just heard from Xingyi that the emperor's uncle did not punish Xiao Linzi, hehe.

"Where have you been? You made Sister Qingyu worry." Huo Yuanruo stepped forward and grabbed Chu Jie by the back of his neck, with an obvious threat in his voice.

Chu Jie glanced at Qingyu with some guilt, then struggled to get out of Huo Yuanruo's hand, "Sister Qingyu, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you when I went out, and then... I forgot the time."

Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that he's okay. The same goes for you, kid. You dared to run out when you're unfamiliar with the place. Don't do that again in the future."

"I...I know." Chu Jie scratched his head in shame, "I just...came back from the mine and saw that it was still early, so I went out for a walk again."

Li Mulan stepped forward and rubbed his head. "It's okay as long as he's okay. Remember to tell me next time."

"I understand, Sister Lan."

"Okay, let's not have dinner yet. Let's go, I made a few specialties today." Qingyu took the little boy's hand and went into the inn first, then looked at Huo Yuanruo, "There are spare ribs that Yuanruo likes to eat."

Huo Yuanruo's eyes lit up, "Sister Qingyu is the best, how did you know I wanted to eat spare ribs tonight?" Then he followed her in happily.

On the other side, at the City Lord's Mansion, Xingyi sent Chu Jie back and immediately went back to report to Chu Chenfeng.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the table covered with various human skin masks. Chu Chenfeng looked at them one by one with great interest.

Xing Yi looked at those unfamiliar faces and felt creepy. He shuddered suddenly.

"Has the person been sent back?" Chu Chenfeng didn't look up. He was stroking a human skin mask in his hand, as if he had chosen one that he was satisfied with.

"Yes, the young master has returned to the inn safely."

"I guess you must have asked a lot of questions along the way." Chu Chenfeng put away the human skin mask in his hand, slowly walked to the couch and lay down, rubbing his brows tiredly.

"Nothing much? I just asked about Xiao Linzi's situation and what arrangements were made in the harem after he left."

"Haha, how did you answer?" Chu Chenfeng curled the corners of his lips slightly, as if he had expected it.

"I answered truthfully."

"Yeah." Then he pointed at the human skin masks on the table and said, "You can pick one that you like."

Xingyi frowned unconsciously, he really didn't like the cold touch.

His expression naturally did not escape Chu Chenfeng's eyes, "Haha, these are all made by Heifeng himself, they are very rare, please don't damage them for me."

Isn't it very rare? Heifeng is a strange man, good at disguise, and the human skin mask he made can be mistaken for the real thing. But he has many bad habits, so he doesn't do it easily. It's not easy for the master to get so many masks from him.

Xing Yi picked one at random reluctantly, "What is the master going to do?"

Chu Chenfeng raised the corners of his lips slightly, lying on the couch with his eyes closed, he seemed to be in a good mood, "How can I be at ease with Xiaojie being out there alone? Change your identity and go check it out, to avoid any problems."

"What about this way?"

"Just find someone of similar build, and tell them that I need to rest and no one is allowed to disturb me."

"Yes..." For some reason, Xingyi thought of the little girl in his mind. It seemed that his master treated that girl differently. He didn't know what she owed his master.
