Chapter 437 - Hannahs Question (1/2)
”What?” Luo Mei lost her train of thought and immediately sprinted forward. ”No, no, no, no, no, no. Father, what's going on? What is happening to you?”
”I don't know, my child. I've been asking myself that as well. Unfortunately, COUGH COUGH something is really wrong with me,” her father said.
”Then what were you talking about with him?” Luo Mei asked.
”Oh, he heard about me being sick from somewhere, so he acted like he came to check up on me.”
”But that bastard was really just trying to ask your hands in marriage. That bastard, he thinks he can get my lovely daughters just because I'm sick? I will be dead and still not hand you guys over to that bastard,” her father said.
”Oh,” Luo Mei said. ”I'm sorry. I got overly emotional, father.”
”Haha, it's alright, COUGH COUGH. Let's go somewhere else, this place is dirty now,” he said and walked out.
”Oh, Mengmeng, you came back too. Go meet your mother, Meimei is fine now,” he said to Meng Yun who swiftly took her leave.
”And… are you Meimei's junior brother that Xingxing told me about? Wen Cheng's youngest disciple, right?” he asked.
”Yes, senior. I am Yu Ming,” Alex introduced himself.
”Oh, good to see you, young man. Since you are Meimei's disciple brother… you can call me Uncle Keng,” Luo Keng said.
”Yes, Uncle Keng,” Alex said.
”Did little Xun not come? It's been a while since I've met him too,” Luo Keng said.
”Senior brother is the leader of the guards. He can't leave whenever he wants,” Luo Mei said.
”Well, at least your junior brother is free to go around as he likes. Haha, COUGH COUGH,” Luo Keng said.
”He is not that free, he came here with a purpose father,” Luo Mei said.
”He did? Oh, right. Xingxing told me about that,” Luo Keng said.
”I just saw Meng Yun leave. Is Mei'er back?” A woman's voice came from the hallway. Luo Mei immediately walked out and hugged a middle-aged woman.
”Mother, I'm back,” she said.
”Oh, my sweet child. You must be tired from your journey,” the woman said.
The woman was wearing a refined, violet robe. She had a fair face and had her hair braided down the side.
She looked nothing like Luo Mei, but did have features belonging to Luo Xing.
”Oh, and who's this young man?” She asked when she saw Alex.
”This is Meimei's junior apprentice-brother who came with her, Yu Ming. And as far as I can tell, he's going to be my doctor for the next few days,” Luo Keng.
”Ah, the boy Xing'er was talking about. I am Shi Nangong, Mei'er's stepmother. Welcome to the house, young man. Think of this as your own home,” the woman said.
”Mother!” Luo Mei screamed in annoyance.
”Haha, yes yes. Mother, not stepmother. Mei'er hates when I say otherwise,” Shi Nangong said.
”Mother, show little brother to the guest room, please. He's been making pills non-stop for the people injured in the beast hoard attack. He is extremely tired,” Luo Mei said.
”What?” Luo Keng said. ”You've been helping the people all night long. You must be extremely tired. My bad young man for keeping you here.”
”Honey, show him to our guest room,” Luo Keng said.
Shi Nangong took Alex through the house to an area where the guests stayed at. There were multiple rooms there, and all of them were for the guests.
A door suddenly opened as a young man walked out.
”Oh good afternoon Auntie. Huh? Junior brother, did you just come?” Xiao Huang asked as he saw them.
”Yes, I just arrived with my sister,” Alex said.
”Oh, so your sister made it back safely? She wasn't attacked by the beasts or anything right?” Xiao Huang asked.
