VOLUME 10 CHAPTER 22: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS FAN CITY (9)

Liu Bei POV

“Are we still going to see her then?” Wen Yuan asked. I initially wanted to say no but when I looked at her face, I saw that she seemed relatively concerned about the child.

“Un… Let’s go. No matter what, we ought to go and show our faces.”

This is what we did with Yi De as well. When I finished, everyone nodded and we looked at Yi De.

“Yi De, bring us to her.”

“Un, got it.” Yi De nodded and turned around as she headed towards the inner courtyard.

“Where did Guan Ping leave the child?” Yun Chang asked as we entered the inner courtyard.

“Lord Guan Ping left her in a room near the third courtyard which seems to be her own room.”

“Eh~ Won’t it be very messy then~” Yun Chang said with a disdainful look.

“Haha, it’s actually… Un, alright.”

Is it really that bad?!

“We’re here. *Dang* *Dang* *Dang*” Yi De said as she knocked on the door but there was no reply so she knocked again.

“A-ah, yes.”

“We’re coming in.” Yi De said softly before pus.h.i.+ng the door open.

As we entered the room, we found that it was a complete mess. The floor was completely covered in weapons, bamboo scrolls and clothing and it felt like there was not too much difference between this room and one of the rooms we had been in just now in the robbed mansion.

“Hai~ This Guan Ping. I’ll deal with her later.” Yun Chang said with a red face as she began picking up the stuff in her room, starting with the clothing. When the little girl saw Yun Chang fly into a rage, she seemed even more timid and curled up into the side.

“Ah, little girl, don’t be afraid. It’s alright.” I smiled as I headed towards her with everyone else following behind me into the messy room.

“Wu~~~” She backed up even more just as we entered and pointed at us.

“Eh? What’s the matter?” I asked. As I looked at the finger, I saw that she was not pointing at me but beside me. Un? What’s the… Ah, I get it.

“What’s the matter?” Feng Xian asked when she saw me looking at her. Everyone except her had realised what was up by now. But how do I tell her? It’s really difficult and inappropriate to say it explicitly.

“Ah…” Feng Xian uttered when she realised what we meant and looked stunned. She then frowned and closed her eyes before yelling at the child, “Oi! Brat! What do you mean by that!”

“Ah, Feng Xian, don’t…” I said, trying to calm her down. I then looked at the child and saw that her eyes were wide open and she was s.h.i.+vering while curled up in the corner of the bed.

“… Wu~~~~”

In the end, she could not hold back her tears and ended up crying. This was difficult. We were not that young but we did not really have much experience with children after all.

Ah~ If only Gan Qing were here. She would definitely be able to pacify her. But now, we can only use the simplest and perhaps most effective method.

“Feng Xian, ah… Everyone, please wait outside.”

“Eh~ Why do we have to go out along with my lord (Lu Bu) as well? Isn’t it only my lord (Lu Bu)–”

“Wen Yuan, what are you trying to say?” Feng Xian coldly interrupted Wen Yuan who took a step back and nodded before turning around to leave.

“Xuan De, will it be alright with just you?”

“Will you be okay?”

Zi Long and Chen Dao expressed con

cern as well.

“It’ll be fine, it’ll be fine~” I said as I smiled stiffly and pushed them all out of the room. When I turned back, I saw that Yun Chang was still cleaning up the room and said, “Yun Chang, you too. You can clean up later.”

Guan Ping will definitely mess up the room again so it’s fine if it remains messy for a while longer.

“Come on, Feng Xian.”
