Rules of Heaven - C51

The stormy night was naturally suitable for sleeping in one’s own house. Even though it was windy and drizzling, a person living in the Hao family residence would definitely not have any influence.

It was already late at night, yet the Cao family’s mansion was still brightly lit. Servants were walking back and forth as if they were busy with something. In the backyard of the Cao family, the wife of the head of the Cao family, An Ziyue’s house, many people were anxiously waiting.

At the top of the stairs, there was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe with black borders and a brown spotted belt. He was the current leader of the Cao family, Cao Ziren.

It was strange to say that Cao Ziqian was benevolent and benevolent. He had always been kind and kind in the name of his “Zi Ren”. However, the current Cao Ziren was already thirty-nine years old, but he did not have a single heir. Every time he thought about it, Cao Ziren would feel guilty and feel that he had let down his ancestors.

Who knew that a year ago, just as Cao Zijian was about to lose all hope, his first wife, who was also his first wife, was suddenly overjoyed! This made Cao Ziren very happy. He spent a lot of money to ask famous doctors to gather at his mansion, hoping that mother and son would be safe.

It had been a year, but she was pregnant with three more months than an ordinary person. Although there were some people who talked casually, Cao Ziren didn’t care at all. He believed that it was the work of the Heavens, and that in the future, he would definitely become a dragon and a phoenix.

Not long after that, the doctors said that An Ziyue was going to be born tonight. Cao Ziren was overjoyed, and mobilized the whole mansion.

Just as Cao Ziren was anxiously waiting, a sudden gust of cold wind blew past the crowd, followed by the sound of a baby wailing. The midwife hurriedly shouted, “It’s a baby! A young master!” After that, she hurriedly wrapped the baby up in an extremely luxurious marten skin and gave it to Cao Ziren.

When Cao Ziren saw this, he was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth. Suddenly, he thought of An Ziyue and hurriedly asked, “How is Madam?”

The midwife smiled and said, “Madam, you are well.”

Hearing this, Cao Ziren let out a breath of relief. He quickly carried the baby into the room and came to An Ziyue’s side. An Ziyue was also about thirty years old, but she didn’t look old. She looked like she was in her twenties, with delicate skin. It was just that after giving birth, his face looked exhausted. He couldn’t help but reveal some of the wrinkles on his face.

Cao Ziren placed the baby beside An Ziyue and said with a smile, “Madam, look at our child.”

An Ziyue smiled, and slowly touched the baby with her hand, “Master, do you want to use the name that we originally thought of?”

Cao Ziren looked at the baby, his smile growing even wider. “Of course, let’s call it ‘Cao Zijian’.”

Just as An Ziyue wanted to reply, there was a sudden burst of surprised exclamations from outside. Following that, she heard an urgent voice: “Fellow Taoist, you should rest here now. I’ll go find Bai Yi and the others.” It was actually Yan Beihui’s voice.

However, Cao Ziren obviously did not know who Yan Bei belonged to. When he heard that someone had barged in, his expression immediately changed and he hurriedly went outside. In the courtyard, he saw a large man holding a bronze sword, while another youth had traces of blood in his mouth. He then shouted, “Who are you, daring to trespass into my Cao family’s residence!” Men, take him down. ”

At this moment, there was no time for Yan Beihui to explain. He reckoned that Ding Hong had the ability to deal with this. Enduring the immense pain, he turned back on his sword and looked in the direction of the temple.

After Cao Ziren’s loud shout, the people who had already arrived prepared to pounce on him. However, when they saw that Yan Beigui had revealed this move, they couldn’t help but be stunned as they stared blankly at Ding Hong. Cao Ziren took a closer look at Ding Hong and saw that he was dressed in extremely luxurious clothes. Especially the mask on his face, it did not look ordinary at all. This time, the courtyard suddenly sank into a strange silence.

He only wanted to find a place to rest and immediately said: “I am a rogue cultivator from the Heavenly Dao. I just had a fierce battle with a ghost and suffered some injuries. I did not intend to barge into your house. Please forgive me.”

These words were spoken with sincerity, especially the words’ Heavenly Dao Rogue Cultivator ‘. Cao Ziren changed his mind and hurriedly said, “So you are a god-like person, I am lacking in manners.” He turned to the butler and said, “Quickly bring this young master to the side room to rest.”

The butler received the order and, knowing the relationship between the two, sent some people over.

Seeing this, Ding Hong endured the pain and said, “Thank you.” He followed them to the side room.

After seeing Ding Hong leave, Cao Ziren pondered for a moment, then said to the butler, “Quickly go and invite those immortal elders from the Violet Immortal Temple, regardless of the price!”

The butler was aware of his master’s character so he didn’t dare to delay. He turned around and left as soon as he heard the elder. However, he wanted to make a trip himself.

After everything was settled, Cao Ziren let out a sigh of relief and returned to his room. Seeing that he had returned, An Ziyue hurriedly asked, “What’s going on outside?”

Cao Ziren did not want to worry her, so he said, “I’m just a wandering Warlock who’s passing by. I want to borrow your help for a night.”

An Ziyue said: “Then let them stay for the night.”

Cao Ziren smiled. “That’s for sure.” Alright, hurry up and rest. It’s already getting late. ”

An Ziyue responded with a “hmm” and reluctantly looked at the baby. She could no longer resist the fatigue as she fell into a deep sleep. Seeing that she was sleeping, Cao Ziren gave a few instructions to the maid beside him before walking out.

At this moment, apart from a few guards, there was no one else around. He seemed to be very worried about the sudden arrival of Ding Hong. After muttering to himself irresolutely for a while, he took out an old and worn yellow talisman from his sleeve and lightly stuck it on the door. Only then did he leave in peace.

However, no one noticed that in the instant the yellow talisman was glued to the talisman, it slightly trembled.

No one noticed.

After Ding Hong was brought to the side chamber to stay, he hurriedly sat down to recuperate.

The night passed in silence.

The next morning, the birds chirped and the trees’ fragrance permeated the air. It was extremely fresh and fresh, giving off the feeling that one would have to live another ten years just by inhaling a breath of air. The people of Cao family had already woken up and cleaned the mansion.

After the leaves had been washed away by the rain, they revealed an attractive green color, making people feel good when they saw it.

Cao Ziren came out of his room, took a deep breath, and hurried to where An Ziyue was. However, when he walked to the door, a maid had just come out. When she saw Cao Ziren, she bowed and said, “Master, Madame is still sleeping. Please do not disturb her.”

Cao Ziren said, “Are you still sleeping? “Alright, let’s rest a bit more. How is the young master?”

The maid was surprised: “Didn’t Master send someone to carry the young master away?”

“What?” Cao Ziren’s expression changed and he asked, “When did this happen?”

The maid noticed the change in Cao Ziren’s tone and was shocked. She quickly kneeled down and said, “About half an incense stick of time ago.”

Cao Ziren’s face was unsettled. He snorted and said, “It must be that wandering Warlock who did it yesterday!” Thinking of this, he shouted, “Someone come! I invite the deities of the Violet Immortal Temple! The rest of you, follow me to that person’s place last night! ”

“Yes sir!” The group of people hurriedly agreed. Some of the more quick-witted ones quickly ran to the other side to look for the Immortal Elder of the Violet Immortal Temple.

As for Ding Hong, he had just woken up from his meditation. Although his entire body was still aching, especially his chest, it was much better than the pain he felt yesterday.

“Fortunately, I circulated my spirit energy and neutralized most of the force. Otherwise, that punch would have pierced through me!” Ding Hong rubbed his chest, still having some lingering fear from last night’s scene.

Thinking about how Yan Beihui went to find Bai Yi’s group yesterday, he wondered what was going on.

Suddenly, there was a commotion not far away, and the sound of footsteps was even faster. From the direction, it seemed like it was coming towards Ding Hong.

Ding Hong’s eyes narrowed, “Huh? Could something have happened? ”

How could Cao Ziren remain calm when he had lost a son and was taken away by someone else in the blink of an eye? At this moment, he arrived at Ding Hong’s residence. “Peng”, he pushed open the door.

However, Cao Ziren was not a reckless person. When he saw Ding Hong quietly sitting on a chair, a huge weight in his heart was lifted. He had originally thought that if he took away the child, it would be easy to deal with. However, if it wasn’t him, how could he even start looking for the child?

When Ding Hong saw Cao Ziren barging in with a group of people, he knew that this was not the time to be flustered. It was best not to cause a misunderstanding, so he stood up and saluted. “If you think that I have taken up more space, I will leave now.”

“Hmph!”

Wearing a blue and white Daoist robe, the old Daoist walked over with a long white beard and a horsetail whisk. Wherever he passed, the onlookers would give way and all greeted him, “Supreme Celestial.”

The old Daoist enjoyed these people’s salutations very much. He could not help but stroke his white beard. He slowly walked up to Cao Ziren and asked, “Who would be so bold as to kidnap Young Master?”

Cao Ziren glanced at Ding Hong, but his heart was filled with hesitation. He did not know if it was him or not.

The old white-bearded man saw Cao Ziren’s gaze and saw that Ding Hong was the only person in the house. He took two steps forward and said coldly, “Why did you kidnap Young Master!”

Ding Hong had long since seen through their ill intentions, but these words from his mouth were somewhat inexplicable and miraculous. He replied, “What do you mean by that?”

The old Daoist snorted and waved his horsetail whisk. He said, “You ask the question even though you already know the answer. Do you really have to let this humble one take action before you are willing to speak the truth?”

Seeing this attitude, Ding Hong could not help but frown and look at Cao Ziren.

Cao Ziren had always been decisive, but now, he was at a loss as to what to do. Yesterday, he had met this person before. Judging from that person’s cultivation base, he might even be higher than the Celestial Immortal from the Violet Immortal Temple.

While he was struggling with his thoughts, a maid suddenly ran to Cao Ziren’s side, knelt down, and said in a low voice, “Master, Young Master has found him.”

Cao Ziren was stunned for a moment, and then he exclaimed, “Where is he?”

The maid replied, “We’ve already returned to Madam’s house.”

“Get out of the way!”

As soon as the maid finished speaking, she ignored the crowd. Cao Ziren pushed aside the crowd and ran in the direction he had come from. Seeing this, everyone looked at each other and felt that it was strange that they had been busy all morning, but they did not dare to complain and followed Cao Ziren.

The Immortal Elder from the Violet Immortal Temple was also pushed aside. His face was ashen, but he did not flare up. He looked at Ding Hong and gave a cold harrumph before flinging his sleeves and walking in the direction of Cao Ziren.

Ding Hong sat down alone again and muttered, “This early morning, it’s really puzzling.”

The one who felt the most baffled was naturally Ding Hong. Surrounded by a group of people early in the morning, asking you if you kidnapped the other young masters?

After sitting for a while, Ding Hong thought, “The timing is a bit odd. It’s better to go take a look.”

Without hesitation, he got up and walked out of the room. He thought of the direction in which he had come last night.

At this moment, just as Cao Ziren arrived at the entrance of An Ziyue’s room, one of the more composed maids approached quietly and whispered a few words into his ear. Upon hearing that, Cao Ziren’s expression changed. “Is that true?”

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, “Master, whether this is true or false, it is still worth investigating. Please reconsider.”

Cao Ziren nodded and said, “Got it.”

After saying that, he walked into the house. Seeing An Ziyue already sitting up on the bed, she hugged Cao Zijian, her face full of tears. He sat down beside An Ziyue and said, “Is Zi Jian alright?”

An Ziyue ignored him and just hugged Cao Zijian.

Cao Ziren looked a little embarrassed as he reached out his hand, “Let me hug you.”

An Ziyue glared at him, but still gave the baby to Cao Ziren. After Cao Ziren held the baby, an indescribable expression appeared in his eyes.

The reason for this expression was due to what the maid had just told him.

“Rumor has it that someone saw the man made of yellow paper carrying the young master away.”

When he thought of this yellow talisman, Cao Ziren couldn’t help but think back to twenty-five years ago. At that time, he was still a teenager who had been given to him by an old monk when he followed his grandfather through Mount Pudd. He said that he would be able to transform into a human in the future and bring back something with a murderous aura.

But, but …

“Sigh …” Cao Ziren let out a sigh due to carelessness.

An Ziyue thought that he was guilty about what had happened today and said: “Master, now that there is Zi Jian, we should hire more people to guard this house.”

Cao Ziren quickly said, “Yes, yes!” His mind was in a mess as he said to her, “Madam, you and Zi Jian should rest well. I will arrange more people for you!”

When An Ziyue heard this, her mood improved a lot. She couldn’t help but say, “Don’t tire yourself out.”

Cao Ziren nodded and went outside. When they arrived outside, they realized that the visitor from last night and the Daoist Immortals of the Violet Immortal Temple were in front of their door, the complexity in their hearts was even greater. After pondering for a moment, they bowed to Ding Hong and said, “Sir, please forgive them for offending you just now.”

Ding Hong shook his hand and said, “Of course, thank you sir for arranging our living quarters.”

Cao Ziren laughed and said, “Young Master has been merciful. Let’s talk in the hall.”

Ding Hong said, “Very good.”

The white-bearded old man beside Ding Hong could not help but snort coldly when he saw Cao Ziren ignore him.

Only then did Cao Ziren remember the old man with the white beard. He said, “Immortal Elder, I’m sorry. Zi Ren’s heart is a little bored today. Please forgive me.”

The old Daoist stroked his beard and said, “Sure, sure. As long as you give me more gifts, I will definitely ensure the safety of your Cao family!” The old Daoist was very familiar with the Cao family. He knew that the Cao family had a lot of treasures, but he wasn’t sure exactly how much.

Hearing his tone, Ding Hong’s eyes slanted and his heart was filled with disgust.

Cao Ziren smiled but did not say anything, “This way please.” He made a gesture of invitation.

The old Daoist took the lead, as if he was the first guest. Ding Hong did not care about these things and followed behind slowly. However, just as he took two steps, he suddenly turned his head and looked at An Ziyue’s room.

Seeing Ding Hong’s actions, Cao Ziren’s heart skipped a beat, and he faked a question, “What happened to Young Master?”

Ding Hong turned around and frowned. He had just felt an extremely strong wave of resentment, which soared into the sky and actually dispersed the surrounding spiritual energy. Other than Ding Hong, who could communicate with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, it was very rare for him to feel this peculiar fluctuation. Hearing Cao Ziren’s question, he was at a loss for words.

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Cao Ziren was overjoyed. He pretended to smile and said, “If there’s nothing, Young Master, please follow me.”
