Free Web NovelChapter 2354: Chapter 2354: Laughable
The old man is a person who knows how to repay kindness, unlike the Thin Man, who doesn’t speak much, but when he does, it’s all about fighting and killing, with no sense of gratitude.
The Fat Man, on the other hand, is a cunning person, despite always having a smile on his face. Xuexue can see that he’s definitely not as innocent as he seems.
Long Rui and Xuexue exchanged a glance and laughed, "Definitely, when we have the chance, the Prince and I will visit you on Heavenly Mountain."
The old man was overjoyed and repeatedly said, "Great, great!"
Saying goodbye to the three of them, Long Rui and Xuexue boarded the carriage back to the Capital.
Watching the departing convoy, the father and his two sons sat back down at the inn. After all the fuss, they still hadn’t eaten!
The three of them, having narrowly escaped death, felt as if they were in a different world and were naturally very happy. So, they called over the waiter and ordered a full table of dishes, starting to feast and drink heartily, celebrating their new lease on life.
The Thin Man raised his glass and said, "Who would have thought that the three of us would still be alive to eat here? Heaven has really treated us well. Dad, Fatty Brother, let’s drink a toast."
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The three of them ate and drank merrily until they were extremely drunk. They stayed at the inn for the night and didn’t wake up until almost noon the next day.
Recalling the events of yesterday, the Fat Man felt both relieved and somewhat uneasy, sitting by the side sulking.
"Fatty Brother, what’s wrong? Dad and you’re healed, and our family is doing well. Why are you unhappy instead?" The Thin Man, who was lying on the next bed, found it strange to see his always-smiling brother so downcast.
Thinking about the token taken by Xuexue, there was no way the Fat Man could be happy.
The Fat Man said, "Big Brother, my token was taken by the Princess Consort of War Prince. We worked so hard to reach our position in the Heavenly Mountain Sect, and it doesn’t sit well with me."
As it turned out, the token taken by Xuexue was an important token representing the identity of the Heavenly Mountain Sect. Holding this token, one could find the Sect Master and make a one-time transaction, exchanging the token for a wish. Once the Sect Master agreed, the token would have no connection to its holder.
If no transaction was made, the holder of this black token would be a protector of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, and others would obey them.
That’s right, the Fat and Thin Man are protectors of the Heavenly Mountain Sect. This time, because their father accidentally got possessed, they had no choice but to descend the mountain to Fengcheng City to seek a famous doctor to heal their father. Unexpectedly, they met Xuexue at the inn, who cured their father’s illness, but at a cost—the loss of the token and their esteemed status.
The Fat Man was very frustrated. After struggling for years to become a protector, a single possession brought him back to square one.
Seeing his brother’s distress, the Thin Man also felt bad. His brother lost the token because of him. After some thought, he said, "Fatty Brother, don’t be upset. Let’s come up with a plan to sneak into the War Prince’s Mansion and steal the token back."
The Fat Man’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Can we?"
The Thin Man replied, "Of course we can. Why not? We’ll sneak it back quietly, and the Princess Consort of War Prince won’t know who did it."
As the two brothers were plotting, they suddenly heard a loud shout behind them, "You little rascals, someone just saved your life, and now you’re thinking of stealing from them? Have you no shame? If you have no shame, I still do!"
The old man, who had gone out to buy things, exploded with rage upon hearing their words. His two sons had no sense at all! Giving something to a lifesaver only to steal it back? Aren’t they afraid of being laughed at?
