Chapter 275 - Revealing Queries (2/2)

Doctor Lou folded his arms and squinted at her, ”My daughter, my student...Therefore my business. The question should be why are you here? I thought you were too busy with your isolation training...you've been ignoring all this time and now you're here complaining about this and that and yet you wonder why I never come to see you...not like you ever come to see me....” Doctor Lou went from talking normally to grumbling under his breath.

Qi Yin let out a breath and decided to just let it drop and focused on what brought her here, ”Was it you who brought the four suns here?”

”Can you move them?” Doctor Lou responded with a raised eyebrow and a question of his own.

Qi Yin did not respond and simply narrowed her eyes at him and Doctor Lou went, ”Exactly. If you can't do it, then why would you think that I can?... If I could, then I'd have sent them back rather than using this stupid false night to hide them. But don't worry, they'll eventually return on their own, probably by the end of the day...I think- either way there's nothing you can do and there's nothing to worry about so you can go~”

”Why are they doing here in the first place?” Qi Yin asked with a frown.

”How should I know? Maybe they came here to witness a wedding. Why ask me? Do I look like their keeper? If you have questions, then you should go ask their owners...” Doctor Lou indignantly said pulling at his beard.

He was still very disgruntled about his sister making him wait so long. He had been to visit her twice now and she made him wait so long he got cramps and now she showed up here with not even an apology.

Qi Yin narrowed her eyes at Doctor Lou and he narrowed his eyes back in challenge.

”Where are my students?” Qi Yin asked. She had come out of her isolation to find her temple empty. She did not have time to ponder over their whereabouts as the issue of the missing suns was more concerning. But now that she was here, she was getting the sense that her brother also had something to do with their absence.

”How should I know? They're your students...and I'm definitely the better Shifu~ I at least know where my student is~...Too bad some people are just blind to my brilliance~” Doctor Lou shook his head with a lamenting sigh.

”You don't know?” Qi Yin asked with a frown.

”I don't.” Doctor Lou firmly responded with a resolute nod.

”Fine. I'll go find them myself.” Qi Yin said turning in the direction of the capital but Doctor Lou swiftly moved to her front and said, ”You are not allowed to interfere...I am in charge here, and you being such a stickler for the rules that you are, you wouldn't want to make any mistakes and ruin your well-crafted image, now would you?” He finished with a smug grin as he stroked his beard.

”Move.”

”NO.”

”Qi Yang! -”

”Don't call me that! I've told you I don't like that name, who the hell wants to be a Yin-Yang pair with you?... It's Lou now, Lao Lou.” Doctor Lou corrected with a fierce glare.

Qi Yin rolled her eyes, ”Have you thought about the repercussions of what you're doing?”

Doctor Lou glanced off to the side, ”I am simply doing what is right...”

”This is not what is right, this is what you want. I thought you had already let go of your obsessive feelings lo-”

”It's not about that!” Doctor Lou angrily interjected.

Qi Yin frowned and barked back, ”Then why exactly are you doing all this?! How can you endanger everything just for on-”

”I've told you it's not about that! It's unfair is why!... You grew up with her as well, how can you not feel any guilt? !If we had done better then -” Doctor Lou paused and let out a breath, ”It's not her fault...she has suffered enough. You shouldn't be so uncaring...”

Qi Yin lowered her head with a frown, ”It's not that I don't care...but the risk is too high. I can't let you do this.”

Doctor Lou scoffed, ”So what are you going to do now? Report me? Go ahead, not only will they support me, they'll force it...And if you decide to go talk to the clans then you'll be destroying the peace and solidarity you seem to love with your own hands...I'm still trying to be reasonable here.” Doctor Lou finished with a pout, ”You should stop putting trees on nature's established path or a karmic tree fall on your head~...” He finished squinting at her.

Qi Yin did not respond and simply glared at Doctor Lou in annoyance.

Doctor Lou blinked at her and then covered his chest with his hands, ”Ah? Do you want to fight me? Oh ho~ then I'm ready! It's been so long since I've had a good fight...Come, let's see if all your so-called-ignoring-me training has paid off~” Doctor Lou said as he began stretching while squinting at Qi Yin, ”Come on, you should stretch too~...Don't complain after that your back hurting is what caused your loss~...” He added with a snicker.

Tung Mei and Ah Jin stared at the arguing aged siblings, forgotten and at a loss. Tung Mei turned to Ah Jin and sent a message to her mind.

{...Do you know what they're arguing about?...}

Ah Jin shook her head and responded.

{...No clue...I thought your father was doing all this for fun...But it seems there's more to it than entertainment maybe?...}

The two girls knit their brows and then turned back to look at the two elder siblings, who now seemed to be deeply engaged in a stretching competition with all sorts of odd poses.

Tung Mei frowned and covered her face with a hand.

{...If anyone saw this - so embarrassing...I definitely don't know these people! ( „ಡωಡ„)...}
