Acai's Sky

Chapter 404: The Master Has Been Kidnapped...

Taoist Jiugong stared at Acai with deep eyes, and saw that he was making finger gestures flexibly, with skillful and natural movements.

As time passed, Taoist Jiugong couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had realized something important. A happy smile immediately appeared on his face. He nodded with satisfaction and stroked his long snow-white beard.

Afterwards, Taoist Jiugong looked at Ah Cai with a kind face and asked softly, "Little girl, come to me..."

Acai blinked her bright eyes and nodded obediently to show her agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Acai was gently picked up by her grandfather and carefully placed in the arms of Taoist Jiugong.

Taoist Jiugong had an ethereal aura and an otherworldly aura. Ah Cai secretly suspected that this Taoist must have real skills.

Ah Cai sat quietly in the arms of Taoist Jiugong, her bright eyes looking at the old Taoist in front of her curiously.

She stretched out her little hand and gently grabbed Taoist Jiugong's long beard. As if attracted by something, she began to fiddle with it unconsciously, and even braided it with great interest.

At this moment, Sima Yan looked at Yun Wanyue who was quietly lying in his master's arms, and it was difficult to connect her with the person who had just chased his brother for compensation.

Taoist Jiugong gave King Rui a look, then carefully handed A Cai to General Li next to him.

Ah Cai was still a little dazed and was taken away in a daze.

...

Jiugong Taoist: "Hmm..."

"Let's put it this way, this girl is blessed by heaven. Even an old Taoist would be jealous of her virtues! She's a lucky charm. Anyone who crosses her will have a bad ending!"

Hearing this, General Li and Prince Rui both frowned.

Taoist Jiugong coughed lightly, then said, "I have decided to practice with her and teach her some things..."

General Li was immediately displeased when he heard this and quickly objected, "That won't work. What if the one I teach you becomes a Taoist priest? We in the Li family have no intention of becoming monks!"

Taoist Jiugong shook his head repeatedly and explained, "Don't worry, I'm just living in the General's Mansion and won't let her become a nun. Besides, if the prince has any problems, he can come to the General's Mansion to find me at any time. This is both convenient and safe, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

After hearing this, Prince Rui couldn't help but turn his head and look at Taoist Jiugong and ask, "Since Yue'er is so blessed, will it have any impact on other aspects? For example, will it cause some unnecessary trouble or jealousy?"

As he spoke, he pointed his finger upwards, indicating that people at a higher level might be involved.

Taoist Jiugong smiled and replied, "Don't think too much about it. This is all God's will. However, if you are really worried, you can go and persuade him. If that doesn't work, you can also consider adopting Yue'er as your daughter. This way, your relationship will be even closer."

Prince Rui nodded slightly.

Then he tapped the table lightly and fell into deep thought.

Finally, he stood up and said, "This idea is feasible. I will go to the palace now to ask for an imperial decree to adopt Yue'er as my adopted daughter. This will not only protect her, but also enhance our relationship."

Seeing this, Taoist Jiugong waved his hands and said, "Hurry up, be careful of villains..."

Prince Rui immediately stood up and went into the palace.

General Li turned his head and looked at Taoist Jiugong, "This villain..."

Taoist Jiugong stroked his beard and said, "He has the same surname as King Rui, and he's very sinister in his actions, so just be careful. Besides, if we really confront him, he might not be able to gain any benefits."

Only then did General Li feel relieved.

He thought with a smile, God must bless my Yue'er, those who have no conscience should go to hell.

……

In the side hall, several round dining tables were neatly arranged.

When Ah Cai was brought over, a rich aroma of food filled her nose and her little stomach immediately started to growl.

The aunt took Ah Cai with a smile, carefully placed her on a chair, and said gently: "You should eat more these days and take good care of your body. Look at your pale face..."

Ah Cai touched her cheek and smiled bitterly in her heart.

She knew that her pale face was not due to illness or malnutrition, but because the mysterious controller had sucked a large amount of her blood when it claimed its master, causing her to become so weak.

But in order not to worry her aunt, she could only nod silently to express her gratitude.

Misunderstood……

Several aunts took care of Acai enthusiastically, constantly picking up food and scooping soup for her.

Their concerned eyes and warm smiles made Acai feel the love and care of her family.

The meal was very sumptuous, with all kinds of delicious dishes filling the table.

Ah Cai ate with gusto, but because it was so delicious, she accidentally overeaten and ended up burping.

Sima Nan, who was sitting next to her, looked at Acai's happy face and couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

He thought to himself, how come this little girl is so lucky?

There were so many people surrounding her while she was eating, and they were scrambling to pick up food and feed her.

He thought about how he had never enjoyed such treatment when he was in the palace.

If he dared to be picky about food or skip meals, he would only receive a caring meal from his father or a friendly greeting from his eldest brother, the Crown Prince, who would say, "Eat if you want, or go hungry if you don't."

Sima Nan ate his meal while looking at Acai with envy.

The more he thought about it, the more unfair it seemed. Why couldn't he be loved by everyone like Ah Cai?

Look at Acai again, she was happily chatting with her uncles, with a happy smile on her face.

But he could only eat alone in silence, and no one cared whether he was full or what he liked to eat.

"Hmph, that's annoying."

Sima Nan muttered softly, then lowered his head and continued eating.

Sima Yan kicked him.

She glared at him fiercely.

Eldest cousin Li Yifei and second cousin Li Yizhou were also sitting at the table. Li Yifei looked at Sima Yan and jokingly said, "Prince, you can't have this brother anymore. Look at his jealous eyes...tsk tsk!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Yan glanced at the two brothers and said unhappily, "Not only is he jealous, this prince is jealous too. Even our master has been kidnapped by her..."

Li Yifei was immediately interested when he heard this. He approached Sima Yan and said with a smile, "To be honest, it would be great if Taoist Jiugong could stay. If we have any problems in the future, we can just go to him directly. We don't have to go to the Taoist temple all the way, and we don't have to search all over the world for him!"

Li Yizhou, who was standing by, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. It was really hard to find him those few times before. Now, if there's anything, we can just go to the General's Mansion and find him. How convenient!"

Sima Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes when listening to his two cousins, and muttered to himself: It's convenient for you, but is it appropriate for me, a serious disciple, to come here often?

Moreover, if the people above know about it, they will definitely think too much about it, and who knows how much trouble will arise.

cut!
