Chapter 525

Xuanqing Daozhang, what's wrong with that...

Luo Taiqing subconsciously opened his mouth, still thinking Xuanqing Daozhang was referring to Lü Tu accepting a disciple; before he could finish speaking, following Xuanqing Daozhang's gaze, he suddenly noticed Wang Ping'an standing beside Zhang Guihua, couldn't help rubbing his eyes, his face and gaze full of disbelief.

Xuanqing Daozhang, Luo Sir, what's wrong with you?

Cheng Yong watched Luo Taiqing's words about to leave his mouth swallow back, as if seeing something unbelievable, froze in place, widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, following the gazes of Xuanqing Daozhang and Luo Taiqing, he likewise saw Wang Ping'an beside Zhang Guihua, and asked in puzzlement:

Isn't it just that this child Ping'an can stand up and walk? What's there to be shocked about?

Village Chief, you, you, don't forget, this child Ping'an has only been born a few months, not even half a year!

Si Ping trembled in tone, reminding.

Isn't it just not having a few months, what's so strange about not being able to walk...

Cheng Yong subconsciously opened his mouth, his words not yet finished, his face drastically changed; he is the Village Chief of Hutou Gou, he has seen many children of Hutou Gou, he is not unfamiliar with seeing infants who can walk, but most are around one year old; like Wang Ping'an, only a few months old, able to walk, able to stand—this is the first time he has seen, he exclaimed in astonishment:

I, I, I couldn't still be asleep, could I? This kid Ping'an has only been born a few months; how could he possibly walk?

"Hiss!", "Hiss!", "Hiss!"

The next moment, one after another the sound of drawing in a cold breath rang out, followed by the surroundings unable to believe that Wang Ping'an, only a few months old, could walk upright.

Doubting whether they were dreaming, they fiercely pinched their arms; the burning pain instantly woke them up completely.

They hurriedly lifted their heads to look at Wang Ping'an, seeing Wang Ping'an standing upright beside Zhang Guihua, his face and eyes full of shock.

Among these people, either they were fathers or elders, each having their own children, they were relatively familiar with children; they clearly knew that even a one-year-old child could not stand as steadily as Wang Ping'an.

Zhang Chengyong chuckled proudly: "You don't think about it, our Ping'an is who? He's a child valued by the clan chief of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, the Thousand Commander of the Fengyin Prefecture Demon Suppression Office, and the Hundred Commander of the Capital City Demon Suppression Office; what ordinary children cannot do, our Ping'an can do—what's so outrageous about that?"

It's just walking; maybe in a few days our Ping'an will start speaking; if we wait for our Ping'an to speak, we'll surely scare you to death.

To say that Wang Ping'an, only a few months old, could walk upright and walk so steadily, when he saw this scene back then, he was somewhat frightened as well; even though he knew Wang Ping'an was highly regarded by many, knew Wang Ping'an was extraordinary, he still found it hard to accept this.

He could understand the surrounding pairs of shocked gazes, but thinking that his maternal uncle was a show-off, his maternal uncle not speaking, he supposed he wanted him to step forward and speak out everything his maternal uncle wanted to say.

He naturally had to satisfy his maternal uncle's idea!

Little brother, you're right, this child Ping'an, this child Ping'an cannot be judged by common sense!

Xuanqing Daozhang quickly recovered from his shock, his gaze toward Wang Ping'an filled not only with affection but more with worry; he knew there was also a poisonous woman eyeing this child like a tiger, so he changed his words:

According to reason, it's not up to me to decide whom Ping'an should take as a master...

Liu Dongzhu hurriedly interrupted: "Daozhang, you can't say that; for our family's Ping'an, you didn't hesitate to damage twenty years of yang lifespan, our family's Ping'an's affairs—how could you possibly lack the authority to decide? Whether our family's Ping'an takes Lv Qianhu as master is entirely up to your word, Daozhang!"

Twenty years of yang lifespan?

Before Xuanqing Daozhang could speak, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but exclaim in surprise; compared to others, although some knew this matter, many still did not, after all Xuanqing Daozhang is not the type to show off.

Cheng Yong stepped forward and asked: "Dongzhu, you say Xuanqing Daozhang damaged twenty years of yang lifespan for our family's Ping'an—what exactly is this, how come I don't know?" Liu Dongzhu didn't rush to answer Cheng Yong's question, but glanced at Xuanqing Daozhang, seeing he didn't stop her, then she said: "Village Chief, it's our family's fault toward Daozhang..."

Afterward.

Liu Dongzhu told the whole story, explaining in detail why Xuanqing Daozhang had lost twenty years of yang lifespan.

Not long after.

After hearing Liu Dongzhu's account, whether it was Cheng Yong, the Hutou Gou villagers, or Luo Taiqing's guards, they all stared at Xuanqing Daozhang with shocked faces.

They never expected that, when the servant of the Prime Minister's Daughter tried to harm Liu Dongzhu and her child, Xuanqing Daozhang actually dared to go to the Capital City and forcefully break into the Prime Minister's mansion.

No wonder he lost twenty years of yang lifespan!

At this moment.

The crowd didn't know whether to sympathize with Xuanqing Daozhang for losing twenty years of yang lifespan, or to feel relieved that it was only twenty years of yang lifespan lost.

Prime Minister!

What a figure that is—under one person, above ten thousand; those daring to break into the Prime Minister's mansion cannot be said to be none, but they are extremely rare, perhaps one in ten thousand—no, one in a million, and even then only having the idea.

This novel you have arrived.

Those who actually dare to act are almost none, after all that place is more dangerous than a dragon's pool and tiger's den.

They had never heard of anyone who could still walk away alive after breaking into the Prime Minister's mansion; Xuanqing Daozhang merely lost twenty years of yang lifespan—one can only say the Prime Minister, his belly could hold a boat!

Xuanqing Daozhang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing the shocked crowd in his peripheral vision, he changed his words:

It's not early either; if there's anything, let's go back and talk.

Cheng Yong looked up at the sky; the sun was high, and it was still a long way to Luoshan, so how could it be not early? A flash of inspiration passed through his mind, he understood the meaning in Xuanqing Daozhang's words, and bade farewell:

Daozhang, Luo Sir, I have other matters; I'll go ahead first!

Afterward.

The other villagers of Hutou Gou also bade farewell one after another.

Maternal uncle, I'm leaving too...

Zhang Chengyong rose, preparing to leave, before he could take a few steps, Luo Taiqing called out to stop him, saying:

Zhang Brother, Shizi Ling is quite a distance from us; relying solely on your walking, you might not even make it home by nightfall, so take the fine horse I'm sending you!

Zhang Chengyong was about to refuse, before he could utter his words, Luo Taiqing hurriedly interrupted:

How come, you don't like this fine horse or you don't like me, Luo Taiqing, and are unwilling to accept my kindness?
