Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279: Shameless

Furthermore, no matter how good Xuexue is, she is still a girl, and she will have to marry eventually. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like water spilled, and by then, Situ Zhi will have to hold up the General’s Mansion.

Yet, looking at Situ Yongjie’s attitude towards Situ Zhi, it’s cold and indifferent, as if Xuexue is more important than a son. The Old Madam just can’t stand this.

Confronted with the Old Madam’s unreasonable behavior, Situ Yongjie felt helpless, caught between his daughter and his mother, unable to express his hardships.

At this moment, a noise erupted from the street outside.

The four sisters of Situtu Qinger immediately directed their gaze...

"Ah! Is the Heavenly Master here?"

"It must be, otherwise who could have such a grand procession!"

Everyone craned their necks, straining to look onto the street.

On the street, people were coming and going, the cries of small vendors rose and fell, and at that moment, a long procession appeared at the end of the street.

The pedestrians and vendors on the street swiftly moved aside.

Two rows of neatly arranged guards, holding swords to clear the way in front; in the middle of the procession, a luxurious sedan chair followed by a long entourage.

Due to the appearance of the procession, the entire street was in chaos.

The procession stopped at the entrance of General’s Mansion.

The Old Madam and Situ Yongjie immediately went to greet, waiting for the Heavenly Master to alight from the sedan chair.

A pair of slender, somewhat pale hands lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and a black long boot emerged, stepping onto the ground.

Celestial Master Zhang, with his lean body wrapped in a purple robe, had piercingly sharp eyes. Just after stepping out of the sedan chair, his eyes swiftly scanned the crowd, finding nothing he desired and returned to his usual calm.

Of course, nobody noticed this action.

Situ Yongjie with a forced smile stepped forward. He really didn’t want to see this pesky person, but since they were all Imperial Appointed Officials, meeting frequently in the Imperial Court, it wasn’t wise to have too strained a relationship. Besides, the Old Madam had a request, hence invited the Heavenly Master to the mansion, rather than having him perpetually asking about the mansion affairs. Inviting him openly might make him lose interest in the General’s Mansion.

Celestial Master Zhang was a favorite around The Emperor, his visit to the General’s Mansion was truly a great honor.

The Old Madam was inwardly delighted, forgetting it was she who persistently invited him over herself, not waiting for Situ Yongjie to act, and warmly greeted them...

"Ah! The Heavenly Master’s visit, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner!"

Despite waiting for ages at the entrance, had it really been an oversight? Everyone heard this and involuntarily twitched their mouths, yet given his esteemed status, the Old Madam’s sycophancy seemed natural, none dared to show otherwise.

Celestial Master Zhang wore a broad smile and appeared very easygoing: "Old Madam, sorry to intrude."

"No intrusion, no intrusion, it’s us who are troubling the Heavenly Master." Finally, the Old Madam remembered that the Heavenly Master was here to help.

The Heavenly Master glanced at the stationary Situ Yongjie, aware that his persistent following would annoy him, while daring to be angry but unable to speak. To inquire about the Thousand Year Striped Tiger’s whereabouts, he sacrificed his dignity.

Celestial Master Zhang bowed slightly to him with an amicable smile: "General Situ, how have you been!"

Visitors are all guests, especially Celestial Master Zhang who was invited to help.

Situ Yongjie immediately smiled: "Some family trivialities, sorry for bothering the Heavenly Master by coming amidst your busy schedule, I’m really feeling apologetic."
