27 Green Wind Kingdom's Backer

"Master, you're going to get my justice back tomorrow, right?" Tang Rue frowned slightly as she asked with a worried tone.

"En." Lu Shan watched Tang Rue as she was putting on an act like he was watching a comedy performance.

"Is there anything this disciple can help with?"

He arches his lips, "You don't have to do anything hard, just keep your Father Emperor company." If Tang Rue kept the emperor busy, his plan would sail more smoothly. "Make sure that he is unaware of what will happen tomorrow until I finished."

Actually, she wanted to come along to watch how Zhu Xiao Wan would look like when she saw the present. She wanted to humiliate her and personally beat her up! Who does Ning Xiao Wan think she is to compare with her?

"Yes, Master." Tang Rue chortled in her heart. 'Ning Xiao Wan, it's your fault for attracting Song Hui Yao's attention away from me. You must enjoy the gift Master and I prepared for you!"

While the Zhu siblings were relaxing in the Bamboo Pavilion, Ning Rou Li was decorating the manor with Ning Su Cai and Ning Hai Heng.

"Xiao Qian, Xiao Wan!" Ning Rou Li called out. Behind her follow Ning Su Cai and Ning Hai Heng. She went to Zhu Xiao Wan, asking curiously, "Xiao Wan, your birthday is tomorrow, don't you feel excited?"

Zhu Xiao Wan smiled awkwardly when she heard Ning Rou Li's question; she never had a real birthday party before. If it wasn't for the birthday banquets that was for collaborations and socializing reasons, she would probably have forgotten when was Huang Xun Wan's birthday. The former Zhu Xiao Wan celebrated her birthdays with her family, but that was the former Zhu Xiao Wan.

"Your contractual spirit will also be awakened tomorrow," Ning Su Cai said as sat down while Ning Rou Li who had a sweet tooth and Ning Hai Heng were stuffing their bellies with pastries.

Zhu Xiao Wan looked curious as she asked, "What do you think Xiao Wan's contractual spirit should be?"

Ning Su Cai was the first to reply: "Scarlet Python was described as a strong beast in books."

Ning Hai Heng: "Pure Spirit Steamed Bun."

The others: "..."

Ning Rou Li: "Purple Qilin!"

Zhu Xiao Qian smiled as he looked at them before turning to his little sister. "Ice Jade Saber is suitable, what does Wan Wan think?"

She contemplating for a bit, "Anything would be fine as long as it's powerful."

They chatted for a while before Ning Rou Li said, "Mother had been practicing her cooking, especially on one dish..."

Ning Hai Heng: "Lotus roots..."

Ning Su Cai: "It's Lotus Seed Pod Fish."

"Why don't we go to Mother and eat the practice dishes then pick Zhu Xiao Wan's clothes for tomorrow together?"

A young man in purple was seated in a wooden chair as he stared at his old man.

"Xiao Yin [1], do you know the Lu Family?"

Zhuang Yin was a little startled, "The backer of Green Wind Kingdom?"

His old man nodded, "I made you come back because of this. Do you know who Tang Rue's master is?"

"Lu Shan wouldn't be from the Lu Family..."

Zhuang Che sighed, "Lu Shan is the Head of the Lu Family."

His eyes glinted with a hint of disbelief. Then suddenly, a man in black rushed in, "Sect Master!"

"What is it?"

"People from the Lu Family are coming to Prince Ning's Manor!"

"What!?" Zhuang Yin abruptly stood up with widened-eyes.

Zhu Xiao Wan and the others were enjoying Fu Yan Xin's meals. Fu Yan Xin's cooking had become better and they tasted quite nice. After eating, Ning Rou Li went to pick Zhu Xiao Wan's clothes for the birthday banquet in her room while the other three were outside waiting to see what clothes would be chosen.

Unbeknownst to them, a group of people had arrived at the gate of Prince Ning's Manor. The leader had a sinister smile on his face. "I'll give this place a big present."
