Cao Toufei took a deep breath in his car after leaving the racecourse.
“Oh my gosh……”
Recalling what had happened earlier, he still had a lingering fear in his heart. Bringing those ancestors out was truly stressful. If he didn’t handle the situation earlier well, the consequences could be dire!
Therefore, without hesitation, he called Su Qiubai23Su QiubaiProtagonist, a taxi driver with a powerful and mysterious navigation system. Sometimes written as the old driver in this novel..
It would be better to let the boss handle such an explosive burden!
Su Qiubai answered the call without much thinking, seeing that the caller was Cao Toufei. However, he was dumbstruck after hearing about what had happened.
The heck… Why are you guys so stupid!
Without saying much, Su Qiubai let Cao Toufei quickly return to the villa. He too was no longer in any mood to continue his search.
He had never imagined that in just a few hours without him around, those ancestors actually caused so many things to happen!
Both parties returned to the villa after a little over half an hour.
The emperors were initially bickering with one another in the living room. Furthermore, they were all quite depressed as they didn’t get to race one another on horses on that day. However, all of them immediately quieted down as soon as Su Qiubai stepped in with an unhappy look on his face.
Everyone looked at someone else, pretending as if nothing had happened. After all, Su Qiubai had warned them not to go outside before he left the villa earlier. After a long silence, Su Qiubai was indeed furious at first. He was really worried about what those ancestors would do if they went out.
He was clear about their capabilities. With a word of disagreement, blood would instantly be shed. If they could be reasoned with, they wouldn’t be emperors…and as for the warriors, they had killed more people than the emperors had, how well could their personalities be?
Ultimately, he could only patiently advice the group, but he didn’t even know if they were listening to him. By the time he dragged Cao Toufei out, planning to find out more details from him about what had happened, those guys had already started a round of Dou Dizhu.
Outside the villa with Cao Toufei, Su Qiubai listened carefully to the entire series of events from the beginning. He was relieved after knowing that nobody had gotten hurt, but he tensed up again after finding out about the horse racing the next day.
This had to be handled properly. He was quite hesitant about whether to let them go for it. Anyway, that was everyone’s wish, and it wasn’t good to reject them. But if they really went for it, he worried that they would cause unnecessary trouble…
Just at that time, Su Xiaoxiao31Su XiaoxiaoSu Qiubai's sister; also written as Xiao Xiao in this novel., who was sitting on the sofa, received a call from Zhang Wen. They chatted for a while. Zhang Wen told her that Mo Jialing had dropped out of school, which made her very surprised. There was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
Although that girl always liked to bully her, they were classmates after all, so she was a little saddened by the news. Zhang Wen also told Su Xiaoxiao that the school had just sent out a notice. It was the last day for her project registration. If she couldn’t make up her mind, she would miss her chance. She became silent after hearing Zhang Wen’s words. She sat on the sofa, not knowing what to do.
She definitely didn’t have enough money to pay the fees. She was also worried that she would trouble her brother if she asked for money from him… although it did seem that her brother wasn’t quite the same as before.
The uncles, who were playing cards, became aware of her sudden silence. They turned around and saw the conflict and restlessness in Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes. Everyone quietly focused on her phone.
“It’s alright. I’ve decided to give up. I’m good here.” She smiled bitterly and made up her mind.
“But…” Zhang Wen also felt that it was quite a waste. Su Xiaoxiao was the only person in the entire college who met the requirements, but no one would have thought that she would be stopped by what seemed to be the simplest condition.
“No buts, I’m quite happy. Anyway, I will miss you all…”
Later, they hung up the phone.
Su Xiaoxiao looked through the window. The unwillingness in her eyes could clearly be seen by the uncles.
“Xiao Xiao, what happened? Tell us, maybe we can help you!”
Throwing his cards to the floor, Cheng Yaojin14Cheng Yaojin Li Shimin16Li ShiminTang Taizong or Emperor Taizong/Tang Taizong/Emperor Taizong15Emperor TaizongLi Shimin or Tang Taizong's general was the first to walk over. Several others also came and sat around her. Although everyone remained quiet, they all had the same thoughts as Cheng Yaojin.
Su Xiaoxiao was reluctant to say anything initially. However, she did feel a lot of self-pity then, and she could tell that those uncles were really just trying to help, so she told them about the situation.
All this while, she had thought that those uncles were just some poor people with illnesses, so talking to them actually made her feel better.
In fact, the situation wasn’t difficult at all. There was a student exchange program in Bei Du that had many requirements, and after the school scanned through the list of students, Su Xiaoxiao was the only one who met all of those harsh conditions!
Originally, the matter had already been confirmed, but since she had to go abroad at a later stage of the event, she needed an additional 200,000 Yuan.
It was this 200,000 Yuan that troubled Su Xiaoxiao!
After talking with those uncles, she suddenly felt a lot better, especially when she saw the concern in their eyes. She felt touched, and the sadness she felt previously was also swept away instantly.
It was at that moment that Su Qiubai and Cao Toufei came back in.
Seeing the scene in the living room, both of them were stunned. Something’s wrong. Why are they surrounding Xiao Xiao?
The uncles glared at Su Qiubai. They were upset because Su Qiubai, as a brother, didn’t even know that his sister was facing a problem, and he even let her give up such a precious opportunity due to a lack of money. But at the same time, the uncles also felt quite helpless.
On one hand, they didn’t know how much was 200,000 Yuan was in this society, but looking at Su Xiaoxiao’s saddened face, it should be quite a lot!
On the other hand, they were frustrated for not having brought any gold and silver.
Feeling that something was quite odd, Su Qiubai was about to ask about what had happened. However, Tie Muzhen18Tie MuzhenEmperor Genghis, Genghis Khan19Genghis KhanEmperor Genghis, Tie Muzhen suddenly spoke.
“Xiao Xiao, this is my sabre. My mom gave it to me when I was a child. You can take it!”
Then, he took out a very delicate sabre. It had a beautiful green gem on it.
Then, without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to react, Ying Zheng9Ying ZhengQin Shihuang10Qin ShihuangYing Zheng or Emperor Yingzheng or Emperor Yingzheng had already taken down the jade that was tied around his waist.
“Xiao Xiao, this is my jade that I bring along with me, I’m giving it to you!”
Then, Li Shimin also took a step forward, “Take this night pearl, you can trade it for some money!”
Seeing the others like this, Liu Che20Liu CheEmperor Wu of Han Dynasty22Emperor Wu of Han DynastyEmperor Liuche, Liu Che, Emperor Liuche21Emperor LiucheEmperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Liu Che and Qian Long also followed suit. Liu Che gave Xiao Xiao a small golden lock, and Qianlong also gave her a jade.
The remaining generals felt slightly awkward, but in a situation like this, they couldn’t display any weakness!
Although they didn’t have any jewelry, they did carry a sabre with them, so Bai Qi, Cheng Yaojin and the other generals all gave their sabre to Su Xiaoxiao. Her hands now had six more differently shaped, but equally delicate knives.
Su Xiaoxiao was completely stunned. She just felt upset earlier, so she chatted with those uncles. She didn’t expect the situation to turn out like this.
Without hesitation, she refused all of them. It was easily understood that the things that they carried along would definitely be extraordinary. Even they didn’t have high value, they had to be meaningful to them!
Therefore, Su Xiaoxiao felt that she shouldn’t exchange those for money. Those uncles’ gifts could never be retrieved once they were gone. She didn’t think much about the value of those gifts. However, when she wanted to return them to the uncles, they didn’t want to accept it.
Su Qiubai and Cao Toufei couldn’t comprehend what was going on.
Why are the emperors giving my sister presents?
Cao Toufei had a different thought though.
Tie Muzhen’s sabre, Ying Zheng and Qian Long’s jade, Liu Che’s golden lock, Li Shimin’s night pearl and Bai Qi and other generals’ knives! My goodness! How much are all of this worth?
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was about to cry, Su Qiubai finally couldn’t resist it and spoke up.
“What… What happened?”
