Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 672 Borrowing an Umbrella
After Wu Xunsheng had eaten in Ao Qian Palace, he saw that Tie Hongyan had not returned yet, and he felt a little uneasy.

After a while, two people came to Aoqian Hall, one of them was called Li Xingyi, and the other was called Chenglou, the latter was the former's subordinate. When the two arrived at Aoqian Hall, Chenglou was holding two umbrellas in his hands.

Li Xingyi came to look for Wang Zaiqian. You can't just enter the Aoqian Palace. It's not the first time for Li Xingyi to enter the palace. The people in the palace are familiar with him. Even Tie Hongyan has seen him several times. So when he arrived, someone from the Aoqian Palace wanted to take him in to see Wang Zaiqian. Cheng Lou was in the Aoqian Palace for the first time. It was inconvenient for him to go inside, so he could only wait in the hall.

When Wu Xunsheng walked out of Bitianju and came into the hall, Li Xingyi had just finished his work and was about to go back with Chenglou.

At this time, it started to rain outside. Li Xingyi took one of the umbrellas from Cheng Lou and said, "It's raining! I heard that the young patriarch hasn't come back yet."

Wu Xunsheng remembered what Tie Wandao said to him when he became the butian: "You should not only assist her in handling the affairs of Tiecang Court, but also consider other things. For example, if she goes to do something by herself and it rains, and she doesn't bring an umbrella, and you happen to have nothing else to do at the time, go and give her an umbrella. You have to understand that she is working for the Tiecang tribe. If you do something good for her, it may seem that you are only helping her personally, but in fact, you are also helping Tiecang Court and the entire Tiecang tribe." In fact, even if he hadn't heard what Tie Wandao said that time, he would have thought of giving her an umbrella, regardless of whether he just felt that it was a responsibility as a butian. Although he was not sure which way Tie Hongyan would come back, he also guessed and felt that it was almost certain. He thought that the sooner he went to pick up Tie Hongyan, the better. Seeing a public umbrella in the hall, he picked it up and continued with Li Xingyi's words: "I'll go find the young patriarch."

Li Xingyi handed the umbrella in his hand to Wu Xunsheng and said, "There is only one umbrella here? I'll lend this one to you first. Cheng Lou and I can share one. After all, we live very close to here. You better go quickly."

Wu Xunsheng thought that if he went back to his room to get an umbrella, it would take more time. In this way, if she was caught in the rain, she would be caught in the rain for a while longer. So he said to Li Xingyi without hesitation: "Thank you! I'll bring it back to you after you use it!"

Li Xingyi and Cheng Lou shared an umbrella and quickly left Ao Qian Palace.

Wu Xunsheng could have walked out of Aoqian Palace with them, but he heard someone behind him calling out, "Wu Bidian, are you going out?"

He turned around and saw that it was the person who made dinner. "Yeah, what's up?"

"Do you know when the young patriarch will be back? Well, we are waiting for her to come back so that we can prepare dinner for her again. Some snacks that don't need to be heated have been prepared and can be eaten directly after the young patriarch comes back. Actually, it doesn't make any difference whether we ask or not, we just want to have an idea in mind." said the man.

“I can’t explain this clearly.” Wu Xunsheng said.

"Oh. Thank you, Wu Bidian." The man said and went in.

Because Wu Xunsheng was stopped and asked a few questions, Li Xingyi and Cheng Lou had already walked a distance before he left Ao Qian Hall. It was also because of that person asking him a few questions that he met Tie Hongyan who was returning just as he was about to leave Ao Qian Hall.
