Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2355: Chapter 2355: In a Sorry State

The two brothers were startled, turned around to look at the old man, and asked guiltily, "Dad, you’re back?"

Their father was straightforward and definitely wouldn’t want them doing such things. So, every time they did something mischievous, the two brothers tacitly hid it from the old man, not expecting that this time he had overheard them.

The old man blew his beard and glared in anger, tossing the buns in his hand onto the table, and said grumpily, "If I didn’t come back, I wouldn’t know you two little rascals are up to no good again, even targeting our lifesaver. Have your brains fried? Don’t forget, our lifesaver isn’t just anyone, she’s the Princess Consort of the War Prince. Do you think the War Prince’s Mansion is a marketplace where you can come and go as you please? Hmph!"

The two brothers exchanged a glance, and the Fat Man said with a smile, "Dad, I was just joking with big brother, don’t take it seriously!"

The old man was skeptical, "You’ve always been full of ideas since you were a little ghost, your big brother is almost led astray by you."

Despite the Thin Man’s explosive temper and being easily provoked, he wasn’t very smart. The Fat Man was the truly cunning one, and everything the Thin Man did was masterminded by him.

Everyone saw the Thin Man’s viciousness and the Fat Man’s friendliness.

Their father knew the truth better than anyone.

The real culprit was indeed the Fat Man.

The old man wore a face of disbelief.

The Fat Man secretly pinched the Thin Man.

The Thin Man snapped back to reality and said, "Dad, Fatty Brother really isn’t lying to you, we were just talking."

The old man asked doubtfully, "Really?"

The two brothers nodded repeatedly, "Really."

"If that’s the case, eat your buns. We’ll have to head back to the Heavenly Mountain soon, the Sect Master must be worried since we’ve been out for so long," the old man murmured to himself.

"Hey! Alright then!"

The two brothers responded in unison, picked up the buns, and started eating while whispering secrets to each other.

The old man had already hired a carriage outside the inn. After finishing the buns and tidying up, they set off.

After traveling about several kilometers, the two brothers found an excuse, saying the Sect Master had tasked them with something, and told the old man to return to the Heavenly Mountain on his own.

They even used a secret code to summon two disciples from the Heavenly Mountain Sect to escort the old man back to the Heavenly Mountain.

Although the old man was skeptical, they used the Sect Master’s name, and he couldn’t help but believe them because the Sect Master was an authority in his eyes, thinking his sons, no matter how mischievous, wouldn’t joke about the Sect Master. So, he instructed them not to cause trouble and left with the two disciples in the carriage towards the Heavenly Mountain.

Deep in the night.

In a large mansion, under dim lights, the Thin Man emerged from a tunnel under the bed, covered in mud. His hair and clothes were all muddy, and his face was smeared with dirt, making him look very disheveled. Despite his appearance, he seemed very cheerful.

The Fat Man was waiting on the ground. Seeing him pop his head out, he quickly asked, "Big Brother, how’s it going?"

"Fatty Brother, it’s done, it’s done, the tunnel is through."

The Thin Man was extremely excited. Two days ago they rented this house because it was close to the War Prince’s Mansion and they could dig a tunnel from here to the mansion. Since the Fat Man was too heavy and had difficulty moving, the hard work of digging the tunnel fell to the Thin Man.

Fat Man: "Big Brother, do you know where the tunnel leads to in the War Prince’s Mansion?"

The Thin Man thought for a moment and excitedly said, "I think it’s the kitchen, I could hear the sound of knives being sharpened."
