Chapter 1302: 633 Reunion (First Update) Chapter 1302: 633 Reunion (First Update) Old Master ng looked at the little child, dark as the night. He seed to be no older than four, with eyes that were incredibly black and bright, like vessels filled with all the purity and beauty of the world.
Old Master ng was not a man of overflowing empathy, but nor was he cold-blooded enough to ignore a helpless child.
Under ordinary circumstances, the most appropriate action for him, given his temperant, would have been to report to the authorities.
Old Master ng thought for a mont and asked him, “Did you co out here by yourself? Where is your family?”
The little dark child’s eyes spun around. She couldn’t ntion her wicked brother-in-law, or what if the old gentleman sent her back to him?
Clinging tightly to the small bundle in her arms, the child said earnestly, “I’m… I’m going to find my family!”
“Where is your family?” asked Old Master ng.
“At Tianqiong Academy!” the little dark child said.
He knew Jiaojiao had gone to her wicked brother-in-law’s Academy. The wicked brother-in-law thought he didn’t know the na of that Academy, huh? He, who had put away the docunts, would have known!
It was quite the coincidence; Old Master ng had just visited near Tianqiong Academy today and had played a ga of chess with one of the teachers there.
Unable to help himself, Old Master ng chuckled and asked the little fellow, “Tianqiong Academy is outside the city, so if your family is outside the city, how did you get inside the city walls?”
The little dark child’s eyes spun around again: “A man brought !”
The man was the wicked brother-in-law!
It turned out to be a child who had been abducted; no wonder she was wandering the streets so late at night, likely having just escaped from the man.
Old Master ng said to the little dark child, “You co up on the carriage first.”
The little dark child, holding her bundle, trotted over, first tossing the bundle up, then clambering up with her little short legs huffing and puffing.
Amused by her innocent and endearing antics, Old Master ng laughed, “What is your na?”
The child patted the dust off herself, picked up the small bundle from the carriage’s external board, and climbed into the carriage, replying to Old Master ng, “My na is Jingkong!”
Old Master ng said, “Jingkong, that’s a really unique na.”
It sounded almost like a Buddhist monk’s na.
Little Jingkong climbed up onto the long bench next to Old Master ng and sat down properly, very well-behaved.
Seeing how unguarded he was towards him, Old Master ng couldn’t resist making a joke, “Aren’t you afraid that I am also a kidnapper?”
Little Jingkong shook his head vehently like a rattle-drum and said with utmost seriousness, “You, with such kind and benevolent features and an aura of immortality and virtue, how can you be a kidnapper?”
The art of flattery is all about praising whatever the other person lacks!
Honestly, Old Master ng was neither immortally ethereal nor radiating benevolence; he looked just like a very ordinary little old man.
But it was clear at a glance that the old gentleman’s carriage was expensive, sothing a kidnapper couldn’t afford to ride in!
Little Jingkong once again amused Old Master ng. Say what you will about n reaching the age of knowing destiny, but even at a hundred years old, they’re all the sa—ordinary yet so confident.
“This little fellow has a good eye.”
He was indeed ethereal and full of righteous energy!
The coachman could hardly bear to watch. Little guy, you’re as dark-hearted as you are dark-skinned. Can my master really be praised like that? And Master, don’t you have any self-awareness about what you look like?
Old Master ng said, “You said your family is in Tianqiong Academy; are they a student there or—”
Little Jingkong replied, “A student!”
Old Master ng asked with so confusion, “Is there… a student nad Jiaojiao?”
Wasn’t that the na of a little girl? Tianqiong Academy was all male students!
“Ahem.” Little Jingkong regretted speaking too hastily, and quickly corrected herself, “Her na is Liulang, Jiaojiao is her nickna!”
Old Master ng’s mouth twitched.
Why would a big guy have such a strange nickna?
After much thought, Old Master ng ultimately decided to take the little one to the Yan for officials to handle the matter, but since Tianqiong Academy was outside the city, the inner city Yan generally wouldn’t intervene in outside city disputes.
Old Master ng drew back the curtain and instructed the coachman, who had returned to the external seat, “Go to the outer city, to Sanhua Street.”
Tianqiong Academy was on Sanhua Street.
The coachman whispered, “Master, at this ti… aren’t the city gates closed?”
Old Master ng then said, “No matter, just tell them, and use the National Master’s passage.”
With the National Master Hall’s extraordinary influence, there was a dedicated passage at each of the city gates, and as an esteed guest of the National Master Hall, Old Master ng could naturally use the hall’s passage in urgent situations.
