Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

Soon, Aunt Ling and Lou Tao came out from the inner room.

Aunt Ling's face did not look good, and she became more and more silent.

Lou Tao patted Aunt Ling's hand with a smile in her eyes: "Sister, please keep in touch."

Aunt Ling silently avoided Lou Tao's gaze.

After giving these instructions, Lou Tao sent Aunt Ling to the courtyard.

She said to Huo Zicheng who was waiting, "Young Master Huo, I hope you can take good care of my sister."

Huo Zicheng didn't have a bad impression of Lou Tao after what they had just done. He nodded, "Okay, don't worry."

Then he looked at Aunt Ling: "Let's go, Miss Ling."

Aunt Ling lowered her eyes: "Okay."

After Lou Tao watched the two of them leave, he turned around and went back to the main hall.

The servants had already replaced the tea with new one.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw Wen Juncheng's gloomy face.

Lou Tao ignored him, walked straight to his seat, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Wen Juncheng became even angrier when she saw that she was frequently ignored.

But he still took Lou Tao's identity into consideration and did not quarrel with her. He just asked in a bad tone, "Why did you let her go?"

Lou Tao put down the teacup slowly and met Wen Juncheng's gaze: "Do you know who Huo Zicheng's great-uncle is?"

Wen Juncheng replied impatiently: "How should I know? Why are you bringing this up out of the blue?"

Seeing that Wenjun looked like a frog in a well, Lou Tao concealed the contempt in his eyes and began to explain.

"This great uncle of Huo Zicheng is the famous Immortal Master Wen Yu."

"Immortal Venerable Wen Yu?" Wen Juncheng exclaimed.

But soon he continued to ask: "Even if Huo Zicheng's great-uncle master is Immortal Venerable Wen Yu, what does it have to do with letting Aunt Ling go?"

Lou Tao was speechless when she saw Wen Juncheng asking such a question: "Have you ever thought about why Huo Zicheng, a disciple of the head of the Xuanling Sect, would be so respectful to a little embroiderer?"

"How should I know?" Wen Juncheng's mind was completely confused.

Seeing Wen Juncheng being so stupid, Lou Tao once again felt that it was a mistake to bet on him.

"If it wasn't for Immortal Venerable Wen Yu's instructions, why would he act so hypocritically? Immortal Venerable Wen Yu values ​​her so much, why should we go and confront her head-on?

It would be better to do a favor for Wenyu Xianzun, which would pave a better way for us."

When Wen Juncheng heard Lou Tao say this, he came to his senses.

He put away his discontented look and put on a smiling face, wanting to pat Lou Tao's hand as if he were teasing a pet: "Tao'er is really smart."

Lou Tao calmly avoided Wen Juncheng's hand and said, "Master, I have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now."

Wen Juncheng didn't notice Lou Tao's actions and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you can go."

Lou Tao got up and left.

On the way back to her room, the maidservant beside Lou Tao turned her eyes and complimented Lou Tao: "Madam, this move really kills two birds with one stone.

Firstly, I can do a favor to Immortal Wen Yu, and secondly, I can get Aunt Ling away from the Master."

Lou Tao stopped and glanced at the maid calmly.

The maid noticed that Lou Tao's expression was not right, and she shuddered and knelt on the ground: "My servant is too talkative, my servant is too talkative."

Lou Tao said calmly, "Go back and kneel for half an hour."

Then, without paying any attention to the maid who was shaking like a sieve, he walked back.

--------

On the other side, Huo Zicheng didn't relax his stern face until he walked a certain distance away.

He turned around and looked at Aunt Ling who had been lowering her head since just now: "Miss Ling, I still need to buy some other things. It may take some time before I can take you back."

His words brought Aunt Ling back from her thoughts.

She quickly said, "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter."

Huo Zicheng nodded and walked towards the largest restaurant in the city.

Noticing Aunt Ling's slightly inquiring look, Huo Zicheng explained, "My uncle-master told me to bring back some special snacks before I came here."

Aunt Ling thought about it and took the initiative to speak: "If it's a specialty snack, I might know a better place."

Huo Zicheng paused and said, "Please lead the way, Miss Ling."

Aunt Ling waved her hand and said, "You are too polite, young man. Please follow me."

Aunt Ling led Huo Zicheng around and around and walked into an alley.

At the end of the alley, a simple little shop appeared in front of them.

Aunt Ling walked forward and gently pushed open the shop door in front of her.

The store inside the door is simple but neat and clean.

There were a few scattered guests sitting inside, each with a plate of cakes in front of them.

Several of the guests were obviously acquaintances and were chatting while eating.

Not far from them, there was a white-haired old lady sitting nearby, watching the guests' interaction with a smile on her face.

Seeing someone pushing the door open, the old woman squinted and looked over here.

When she saw Aunt Ling's appearance clearly, the old woman stood up tremblingly and walked towards Aunt Ling happily.

Aunt Ling hurriedly took a few quick steps and supported the old woman.

The old woman's dry hands touched Aunt Ling's face and looked her over carefully from head to toe.

Then he smiled with relief.

"Xiao Lingjiao, you haven't been here for a long time. You've become thinner. Did someone bully you?"

When Aunt Ling heard the old woman in front of her call out the name "Lingjiao", her eyes also turned red.

She held the old woman's hand tightly and replied softly, "No, grandma, I'm doing fine."

The old woman carefully looked at Aunt Ling from head to toe again, her cloudy eyes full of heartache.

Huo Zicheng stood not far away, watching the scene in front of him. He did not rush forward, but just stood not far away and watched the two of them.

After chatting with the old lady for a while, Aunt Ling did not forget the purpose of her coming here. She introduced Huo Zicheng to the old lady in front of her: "Grandma, this young man wants to buy some special cakes here."

Hearing this, the old woman looked towards Huo Zicheng not far away.

Seeing the old lady coming, Huo Zicheng walked up to her and said humbly, "Grandma, do you have any cakes?"

The old woman smiled kindly: "Yes, yes, you wait here for a while, I will get it out."

Aunt Ling wanted to help, but was sent back by the old woman.

"You've come all this way, so just sit here. I'm not too old to walk."

The old woman walked tremblingly towards the inner room, leaving only Aunt Ling and Huo Zicheng outside, staring at each other.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Huo Zicheng simply shifted his gaze and started observing the small shop.

Aunt Ling was afraid that Huo Zicheng might be worried about the simplicity of the shop, so she hurried to explain.

“Young Master Huo, don’t be fooled by the simple appearance of this shop, but the cakes made by grandma are still delicious.

The recipes for the special pastries here were created by grandma. Although grandma is old now, her cooking skills are still good. "

When the diners nearby heard Aunt Ling's words, they also echoed her.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for the delicious food, I wouldn't have come here every day, little brother, don't worry."

Huo Zicheng thanked the man: "Thank you very much."

Then he looked at Aunt Ling: "Thank you, Miss Ling too."

Aunt Ling hesitated for a moment before asking the question in her mind: "Young Master Huo, why do you keep calling me Miss Ling?"
