Secondly, was Second Granduncle Xiahou Yi the mastermind behind the plot on the Wei family? If so, why did he do this?

Xiahou Qing got someone to call Wei Xu and Palace Lord over.

Today was the one-month-old celebration of the children of both families. They should be toasted together.

As they toasted, Xiahou Qing’s gaze subconsciously landed on Ling Yun’s masked side profile.

He remembered that the other party was a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace he had seen in the small garden.

However, his clothes were clearly not those of an ordinary disciple.

“Duanmu Qi, who is that person?”

Xiahou Qing asked Wei Xu.

Wei Xu said without changing his expression, “He’s Yun Lin, my eldest son.”

“Ah…”

Xiahou Qing looked at the other party’s thin figure and frowned for some reason when he heard him refer to Ling Yun as his eldest son.

Wei Xu calmly blocked Xiahou Qing’s gaze. “City Lord, I toast you.”

Madam Ru carried the little master and sat in the Xiahou family’s seat. The Madams of the various sects came to congratulate her.

“The little princess is still the cutest. We’ve seen the child of the Hundred Flowers Palace just now. She’s a country bumpkin. It’s obvious that

she’s not blessed and is an unlucky child.”

Madam Ru’s face immediately darkened. “Who are you calling unlucky?”

The person who was rebuked was the sister-in-law of the Lotus Sect’s Sect Master. She was quite famous on Thousand Mountain Island.

Madam Ru was usually very polite to her.

But presently, Madam Ru turned against her. “Don’t say it if you don’t know how to speak. The two children are one month old today. I don’t want to hear anything that slanders the children.”

“Yes… yes, I misspoke.”

Lotus Sect Master’s sister-in-law hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

The others looked at each other.

Wasn’t Madam Ru sworn enemies with the Hundred Flowers Palace?

Yet she actually spoke up for Yun Shuang’s granddaughter today. Could the rumors be true that it was not the City Lord’s intention to organize a one-month-old celebration for the two children, but that is Madam Ru?

Did Madam Ru want to take the opportunity to rope in the Hundred Flowers Palace?

Or was she planning to let the Hundred Flowers Palace personally witness her being conferred the title of Madam City Lord?

Anyway, they did not believe that Madam Ru would like Yun Shuang’s granddaughter from the bottom of her heart.

Madam Ru secretly remembered those people who were unfriendly to her daughter. They would suffer in the future!

Jiang Guanchao and Lou Bufan also came over to toast Xiahou Qing, Wei Xu, and the Palace Lord.

Jiang Guanchao said with a faint smile, “Hero Duanmu, why are you wearing a mask?”

The Palace Lord said domineeringly, “Only I can look at my man. No other woman can!”

Jiang Guanchao lowered his eyes and smiled. “Pavilion Master Lou, I heard that your Thousand Possibilities Pavilion found out that an outsider secretly infiltrated Thousand Mountain Island not long ago?”

Lou Bufan would not be used by others. If they died, they would die together. “Didn’t your Assassin Alliance ask the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion to investigate?”

The two of them knew that Duanmu Qi was Wei Xu, but they could not expose him in public.

After all, compared to pulling down a guest of the Hundred Flowers Palace, it was more complex to bring down the male master of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

The latter required more evidence.

The Palace Lord took in their expressions.

Hmph, fighting with her?

Dream on!

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, a burly bearded man suddenly walked in from outside the hall.

He was about the same age as Elder Feng.

“Who is he?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Ling Yun.

Ling Yun said, “The other elder of the City Lord Manor, Hai Wuya.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Feng Wuchang (unpredictable wind), Hai Wuya (limitless sea) … These elders really know how to name themselves. Why does he look like he has ill intentions?”

Other people came to congratulate with gifts, but he was the only one carrying a big hammer.

Hai Wuya’s face was filled with killing intent. The moment he entered the hall, he quickly locked his gaze on the Palace Lord and Wei Xu beside her.

“Are you Duanmu Qi?”

He raised the sledgehammer in his hand and pointed at Wei Xu.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was silent.

Jiang Guanchao glanced at Wei Xu.

Lou Bufan’s eyes moved.

Xie Jinnian naturally took the wine glass from Xiahou Qing’s hand.

Xiahou Qing frowned and said, “Elder Hai, have you come out of seclusion?”

Hai Wuya bowed. “Greetings, City Lord.”

Xiahou Qing ignored his rudeness to the guests just now and said calmly, “Since you’re here, take your seats.”

Hai Wuya said angrily, “I’m not here to eat today. I’m here to avenge the Fourth Young Master and Brother Feng!”

Wei Xu’s expression did not change.

Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao exchanged glances.

Xiahou Qing released his aura and said, “Don’t mess around on a big day like this!”

Hai Wuya pointed at Wei Xu. “City Lord, the person in front of you is not Duanmu Qi! It’s the Great Zhou’s general, Wei Xu! The Fourth Young Master, Elder Feng, and the four Arhats all died at his hands!”
