Chapter 426 Norio (19)
The monks and Taoists were beaten and fled in all directions. Now they were in dire straits and had no intention of saving the national teacher.
The Imperial Advisor had not expected Xiong Bufan to be so powerful, and there was no reaction from the heavens at all. If this continued, a hundred years of cultivation would be in vain.
Xiong Bufan fought with increasing enthusiasm, even secretly pulling the National Preceptor's hair, thinking that if he pulled it all out, he would become a monk.
The Imperial Advisor began to plead for mercy: "Brave Warrior Xiong, let's call a truce, let's call a truce, let's stop fighting."
Xiong Bufan is now mimicking the National Preceptor's words: "A demon should die. I'm doing this to rid the people of a scourge."
The Imperial Advisor: "I am not a demon, let me go."
Xiong Bufan hit even harder, "Demons are all good at deceiving people, who knows if you've been possessed?"
The Imperial Advisor patted Xiong Bufan with his hand, seemingly trying to free his neck, and kept refuting, "No, I'm not."
Please, please let me go. I'll never do it again.
"What I say goes, what you say is irrelevant."
The Imperial Preceptor was repeatedly slammed to the ground by Xiong Bufan, and the young Taoist boy who tried to approach was also crippled.
The Imperial Preceptor felt that his days were numbered, but he wondered whether he would meet the Dao Ancestor or his Grandmaster after he died.
This was a very serious matter; his thoughts had completely wandered, and his gaze was beginning to dart away.
"Brave warrior, stop!"
Xiong Bufan turned his head and looked at the newcomers. Li Tian'ao and Lu Guanqi were standing there, looking nervous as they watched the Grand Preceptor being beaten.
If the Imperial Preceptor dies, the Emperor will not let Xiong Bufan off the hook, and this would be tantamount to making an enemy of all monks and Taoists in the world.
It's impossible to forcibly rescue the Imperial Advisor now, since they can't defeat Xiong Bufan.
Knowing Xiong Bufan's greedy nature, Lu Guanqi took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it at Xiong Bufan, saying, "Brave Xiong, here's a tael of silver. Go buy some food."
Upon seeing the silver, Xiong Bufan quickly abandoned the Imperial Advisor and stuffed the silver into his pocket.
Lu Guanqi was surprised that this actually worked, and then threw over a money bag, saying, "Brave Xiong, let him go."
Xiong Bufan took the money bag and kicked the Grand Preceptor, saying, "You've already bought this monster. The rest of the money is for my emotional distress."
Upon hearing Xiong Bufan's words, the Imperial Advisor coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Xiong Bufan always had a habit of humiliating his opponents with cheap prices, but they brought it on themselves. Xiong Bufan was never the kind of bear who would cause trouble for no reason.
Li Tian'ao had no idea when Xiong Bufan and Lu Guanqi had become so close. Lu Guanqi would stop immediately if he told them to, which was more effective than him, a prince.
The able-bodied monks and Taoist priests hurriedly carried the national teacher away.
Xiong Bufan watched the spectacle from the sidelines, saying, "You bunch of little monsters, if you cause any more trouble, I'll refine you all into pills."
Kongkong: "Bufan, you can also refine pills?"
"No way, I was just kidding them."
"Ow."
Lu Guanqi and Li Tian'ao stood there somewhat awkwardly. They had come to rescue Xiong Bufan, but unexpectedly ended up saving the Imperial Advisor by mistake.
There was an awkward silence. Lu Guanqi asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Go back," Li Tian'ao and Lu Guanqi said, still wearing their court robes. They had rushed over as soon as court was over, fearing that Xiong Bufan might have died.
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Xiong Bufan disappeared in a flash, leaving behind the words, "The snacks are mine."
This left the two of them somewhat puzzled. Was this an attempt to flee from justice?
Looking at the ruins of the Imperial Preceptor's residence and the Imperial Preceptor's unknown fate, Lu Guanqi hesitated and said, "Your Highness, what should we do?"
"It has nothing to do with us; we are the ones who saved the Imperial Advisor."
When Li Tian'ao said this, he was panicking, but he couldn't show it. He had to calm Lu Guanqi down first.
Lu Guanqi: "Your Highness is wise."
"Yes, let's go back too."
Xiong Bufan ran back and headed straight for the kitchen; no one could take away her beloved snacks.
The butler only felt a dark shadow run past, moving too fast, and before he could see the person clearly, they had disappeared.
The manor could not withstand the new blow, and the steward quickly followed.
Xiong Bufan stuffed half of the pastry into his mouth and put the other half into his spatial storage, determined not to leave any for Li Tian'ao and Lu Guanqi. Who told those two spendthrifts to buy that monster, the Imperial Advisor?
The pastries seem to taste even better after being left to sit for a while. Xiong Bufan and Kongkong eat pastries together.
The cook was still not used to Xiong Bufan's way of eating snacks, swallowing them whole. Could he really taste the flavor?
The steward saw Xiong Bufan eating snacks in the kitchen, with the cook and three palace maids waiting cautiously beside him.
When Xiong Bufan saw the butler arrive, he put all the remaining snacks into his spatial storage and then mumbled, "That's all."
Looking at Xiong Bufan's shameless behavior, the steward thought, "This man has no conscience. It's a shame that His Highness and Lord Lu went to rescue her all by themselves."
"Where did His Highness and Lord Lu go?"
Xiong Bufan: "He's still alive. I bought a monster. I wonder if I'll burn him to death."
He was supposed to save her, so how did it turn into buying a monster? Xiong Bufan really likes to talk nonsense.
Instead of asking Xiong Bufan, it would be better to send someone to find him secretly.
The butler sighed, glanced at Xiong Bufan, and went out again.
This person can do nothing but eat and kill.
Since Xiong Bufan arrived, the expenses of the prince's residence have increased significantly, but His Highness is not short of money, so he has not cared about these food expenses.
Seeing that the butler had left, Xiong Bufan started urging the cook to make some snacks, "Hurry up and cook, I'm starving again."
"Yes."
To the butler's relief, the two returned just as he stepped out of the kitchen to arrange for someone to find Lu Guanqi and Li Tian'ao.
Li Tian'ao: "Has Guard Xiong returned?"
The butler replied respectfully, "Your Highness, she has returned and is having refreshments inside. Shall I call her over?"
Li Tian'ao: "No need, you go ahead and do your work."
"It's Your Highness."
This Xiong Bufan must have bewitched His Highness, which is why His Highness is so accommodating to her.
The two men, dressed in their court robes, went straight into the kitchen and got smelled of food, meaning they wouldn't be able to wear their robes the next day.
So the two of them didn't go straight into the kitchen, but went back to their room to change clothes.
Judging from Xiong Bufan's return, she won't leave the prince's residence easily now. The question is, what should she do next?
The Imperial Advisor was not a magnanimous person; in other words, he was petty and narrow-minded. Those who offended him generally met with bad ends, but dying was also troublesome.
The emperor will definitely investigate the cause of the emperor's death, and then neither of them will be able to escape.
Li Tian'ao began to doubt whether bringing Xiong Bufan back was the right or wrong thing to do, but no matter what, it was too late to kick him out now.
