Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 163: What are you doing here?

Gao Manor...

Gao Shen arrived from the second prince palace, still conflicted. He didn't even notice that his home looked more lively and bright compared to the night Gao Lan Mei left. All lanterns were lit with spiritual stones.

He also did not notice that everyone was busy like they were preparing for a banquet at the light hour of the night.

Aside from the fact that Gao Lan Mei did not want him to take revenge on the Liqi Clan, his niece even allowed freeing the rest of the assassins that they had imprisoned.

Yin Bai and Yin Fu were behind him, he occasionally gave them a glare that was just brushed off with a smile.

"Welcome back Second Master!" The servant said smiling brightly.

That also goes for the guards too that sometimes looked at him knowingly. He was not able to notice anything at all.

Feeling that there was something wrong, Yin Fu commented, "I did not know that the Gao household was so accommodating." Giving emphasis to the word 'accommodating'.

"Huh?" Gao Shen not sure how to answer that,  looked at one of the servants, inquiringly, slightly narrowing his eyes, "What's going on?" he asked.

"Ah! Forgive us Second Master, but it's best if you visit the Master yourself instead." The servant smiled brightly, glancing at him respectfully but with a knowing smile, then ran away from them.

So he did so, when he got near his brother's courtyard, he heard loud laughter. It was a boisterous loud laugh, of which he was sure that it was not from his own brother.

"Ah! Old man! What are you doing here?!" he exclaimed when he finally saw who was the one laughing so loud with his brother and sister in law.

Throwing a large piece of rock, which  was easily dodged by Gao Shen, "Is that how you greet your father?"

Old Man Gao Tsu was initially happy to see his first son, but with his second son's remark, his mood soured. "Am I not even allowed to go home?" he asked with a scowl.

"Good evening third uncle." A young man next to Gao Tsu stood up to greet him respectfully.

When Gao Tsu saw this gesture of his grandson, "There!" Pointing at the young man, "That's how you greet an elder. Now repeat that. " Gao Tsu said, shaking his head.

Then added, "If your mother was here, she would've surely roast you alive. Ah! I miss my wife" cupping his chest showing mock hurt.

Despite the old man's playful smile, everyone was aware that every word he uttered, that was related to his wife was always true.

Gao Qi's mother passed away when Gao Lan Mei was ten summers. After that Gao Tsu moved to the Immortal Domain to just focus on cultivation and to hide from his endless depression.

Despite still being a good looking man and a strong cultivator, Gao Tsu did not marry anyone else up until that moment, and Gao Qi was determined to follow his old man's footsteps.

Rolling his eyes, "Fine. Fine." bowing his head, "Good evening father," he said with an exaggerated respectable tone. "There! Are all done? Now, tell us what you are doing here? You even dragged Hongqi with you. " Gao Shen pointed out, referring to the young man who had greeted him earlier. 

Mu Hongqi was Gao Shen's nephew from his sister. He was more closed to Gao Qi though, more afraid to deal with his elder sister.

"Ayayay! How rude! Of course, you will find my visit pointless, but I will make you help. Whether you like it or not. We will capture a fugitive!" Gao Tsu announced like it was nothing, then noticed the two people behind Gao Shen, "Oh! Yin Fu, what are you doing here?" he asked casually.
