My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 269: My Lord Imperial Master, Long Time No See

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wan Sutong sat down, she heard a cheerful and unbridled male voice coming from outside the hall, "Okay, I will definitely forge an identical one for you tomorrow." Just when Wan Sutong was curious about who the person was, she saw that the person who pushed the door and walked in was Zhao Jinghua.

Zhao Jinghua's tone and voice at this time were completely different from usual. Even Wan Sutong found it difficult to associate the Zhao Jinghua in front of him with the usual Zhao Jinghua.

Bai Moyan laughed and handed a very finely crafted short knife to Zhao Jinghua. "Boy, don't forge it with different weights."

Zhao Jinghua sneered and then pretended to hand the dagger back to Bai Moyan. "If you don't trust me, just wait for my brother to come back. His forging skills are better than mine."

Upon hearing this, Bai Moyan waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, uncle was just joking with you. Trust me, trust me. I dare not trouble Songyue. Songyue has a bad temper."

Zhao Jinghua laughed and said, "Are you sure? Since I came out of confinement, my brother has been saying that I am not as patient as my brother."

Bai Moyan said "oh my" and patted Zhao Jinghua's shoulder with a look of disapproval, "Come on, everyone in Qiyue Pavilion knows that the boy is angry that you suddenly went into seclusion three years ago without telling him. He has the mentality of a child, you just need to coax him."

At this time, the two of them walked slowly in front of Wan Sutong, and Wan Sutong quickly stood up from the couch. Just when she was hesitating about how to address Zhao Jinghua, Zhao Jinghua handed the food box to her and said, "Uncle Bai, this is my sweetheart." Zhao Jinghua chuckled at Wan Sutong and said, "Qingqing, this is Master Bai of the Discipline Hall. You can just call me Uncle Bai as I say."

Wan Sutong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and nodded slightly to Bai Moyan, "Hello, Uncle Bai."

Seeing this, Bai Moyan nodded happily and said, "Hey, girl, I was rude just now."

Wan Sutong shook her head and said in a low voice, "It's okay." Wan Sutong glanced at the food box in her hand, fearing that the food inside would get cold. The next moment, she suddenly had an idea and took off the crescent jade pendant from her waist, then handed it to Zhao Jinghua.

Who would have thought that she said the wrong thing in her first sentence, "That Jing..." Realizing that something was wrong, Wan Sutong quickly changed her words and lowered her head pretending to be shy, "Ji Lang, I'll return the jade pendant to you. I'm going back to Qinggu Sect first and won't bother you here anymore."

But upon hearing this, 0533 immediately became anxious, "Host! I haven't asked the real question yet!"

Zhao Jinghua gently held Wan Sutong's hand and spoke with a tone full of grievance, "Qingqing and I finally got to meet tonight, how could Qingqing just leave like that?"

Seeing this, Bai Moyan mistakenly thought that Wan Sutong wanted to have a private conversation with Zhao Jinghua, but had to leave because of his presence. Thinking of this, Bai Moyan was very tactful and clasped his hands and said, "I have something else to do. Goodbye." After saying this, he strode out of the room and thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them when he left.

Seeing this, Wan Sutong shrugged helplessly at Zhao Jinghua and said, "He misunderstood again."

Zhao Jinghua shook his head, then looked at 0533 and then at Wan Sutong, and resumed his original voice when he spoke, "What is it talking about?"

Wan Sutong looked at 0533 helplessly, "Why didn't you ask? Didn't I tell them that Ji Shuheng alone is enough to keep them busy, and they won't accept any disciples?"

0533 Hearing this, he covered his face with his hands, his tone even more helpless than Wan Sutong's, "Didn't you say you wanted to ask him how he could be Zhao Jinghua on one side and Ji Yun on the other?"

Wan Sutong immediately remembered it when she heard this, but she lowered her head and looked at the food box in her hand without interest. "I'm not curious anymore. The food will get cold soon."

Zhao Jinghua laughed and said, "Then I will go with you, Madam. I have carefully considered the matter of taking in a disciple. If it is feasible, it would be good to let him take over Shuheng's position. I also have something to tell Shuheng."

The next day, at yin time, the Prince Regent's Palace

Zhao Jinghua and the other two walked out of the palace gate. Zhao Jinghua raised his hand slightly to signal Gu Zong to get on the carriage first.

Gu Zong hummed and stepped into the carriage, then looked back at the plaque on the gate. However, this glance made him freeze in place. He saw four large golden characters written on the plaque of the palace: Prince Regent's Palace!

Gu Zong looked down at Zhao Jinghua who was still calm and composed, and then looked at Eunuch Chen who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He sighed indescribably and then turned around and walked into the carriage.

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and followed him into the carriage. Eunuch Chen coughed and got into the carriage, while he instructed the driver:

"Let's go." Then he lifted the beaded curtain beside him and walked in.

After Eunuch Chen sat firmly, Gu Zong frowned and stared into Zhao Jinghua's eyes and asked, "When I asked you to cultivate yourself and restrain your edge after returning from the battlefield, eat vegetarian food and worship Buddha, did you do as I said? Is the white jade bead string still in your hand?"

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Wan Yanzhong's voice suddenly came from the back of the carriage, "Son-in-law! Wait for me!"

Zhao Jinghua spoke immediately after hearing Wan Yanzhong's shout

"Stop the carriage." After the carriage stopped, he got off the carriage and looked at Wan Yanzhong, who was walking hurriedly in the distance, and asked in confusion, "Does father-in-law have any instructions?"

At this time, Wan Yanzhong ran to Zhao Jinghua breathlessly and said helplessly, "No, the horses in the mansion got sick for some reason. I wonder if my son-in-law can take me to the palace with him?"

Zhao Jinghua nodded very respectfully after hearing this, and then turned sideways to signal Wan Yanzhong to get on the carriage. "Why not? As long as my father-in-law doesn't mind that my carriage is too small, please..."

Wan Yanzhong smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Not a small thing, not a small thing. Thank you, son-in-law, you have helped me a lot." Then he stepped into the carriage.

"We are a family, why would we say thank you?" As soon as Zhao Jinghua finished speaking, Wan Yanzhong and Gu Zong looked at each other. After a moment, they both spoke at the same time, "General Wan? / Master Imperial Master?"

After hearing this, Eunuch Chen smiled at Gu Zong and said, "Master, this is the Right Prime Minister." At this point, he looked at Wan Yanzhong kindly and said, "Please sit down."

Wan Yanzhong nodded and sat down opposite Eunuch Chen uncomfortably, then clasped his hands and bowed to Gu Zong, "Master Imperial Master, long time no see."

Gu Zong raised his hand calmly in return. "I haven't wanted to see you again for many years. Brother Wan has become a prime minister and now the father-in-law of my disciple. We are really destined to meet. Let's get together someday."

Wan Yanzhong smiled and said, "Of course we have to get together. You haven't met my little girl yet, have you?"

Zhao Jinghua then lifted the pearl curtain and walked into the carriage. As soon as she sat down beside Eunuch Chen, she heard Gu Zong sigh, "I have indeed never met the Regent Princess." Gu Zong emphasized the words "Regent Princess" very much, obviously implying something.

Zhao Jinghua sneered when he heard this and said, "Then Master, please stay in my house for a few more days. When Su Tong returns from Qinggu Sect, I will bring her to meet you."

Gu Zong nodded, his eyes dark and unclear, "Okay"
