Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 258: Call me aunty

"Tsk." Gao Lan Mei walked ahead of him, her steps getting faster as she keeps on ignoring Wei Jaiyi's nonsense. 'You are not hearing anything.' she keeps on chanting to herself.

Not giving up, "Mei Mei, hey..." Wei Jiayi calls out until both of them got inside the courtyard. "Where are you going? Wait for me!" he exclaimed as he continued on following Gao Lan Mei, closely behind her like a shadow.

The rest did not follow further and just stayed to deal with Li Shao, aside from Xi Jun who just disappeared after giving everyone a grunt.

Li Mao frowned as she is concerned about Xi Jun who seems to be not happy with Gao Lan Mei's presence.

"Do not mind him Madam Gao, he is just being grumpy because of lack of alcohol." Lou Ren said reassuringly, "Well, is there really no way for Wei Jaiyi to go to the Valley?" he asked. On all honesty, it is the first time that they have heard of such a place.

Li Mao shook her head, "It is not possible. The ancestor's spirits will not allow him to go past the barrier. To be honest, I am not certain if all of us can pass together." she explained considering the possibility that some of them might not even be able to see the inner part of the Valley.

If Gao Lan Mei was able to hear this possibility, she would also be concerned are her spiritual circumstances is entirely unique and the ancestors might find out.

"What do you mean?" Li Shao asked in frustration. What if the ancestors decided that he is not worthy to enter the valley because of his mixed blood?

"Aunty. Call me aunty." Li Mao gave Li Shao a playful glare. "Regarding your question, I really do not know how to answer that. The ancestors are previous Keepers accountable for Fngy treasures so who knows what their qualifications someone to be allowed to enter." She explained patiently.

Xi Ma seriously looked at Li Mao, "Madam we do not know about the valley's existence up until now, since you are aware of it, we will assume that you are an accountable to a Fangyu treasure as well."

Keepers are like any family with their hometown and family registry. Most of them are already under the wing of a strong family that they are even given a new surname.

It is not normal to have a whole valley as an ancestral place of a whole race, that is the reason why they never even considered it.

They can only imagine the vast history that lays on that place pertaining to their lineage.

Li Mao just smiled knowingly, "No need to worry about those things. Regardless who is chosen by a Fangyu treasure, there is still a limit on how and when it can be used." She then waved her hand, to give clothes to Li Shao and removed the rope that is bounding him. "Ah, your hair will be back to normal after a day."

Then she added, "We will not tie you up anymore. However, you still need to cooperate with us. I believe you are wise enough not to run away." Li Mao smiled to Li Shao then turned around to leave the place. She still needs to send a message to the others for safety.

Li Shao is not sure if he will call the day the worse day of his life or not. Probably not as he met his father's cousin that does not treat him with hostility. Not only because his father is a criminal but Li Mao even found out that he is not a pure Keeper.

He is mixed blood as his great-grandmother from his maternal side is a mermaid. Mostly will make a big deal out of it but some like Li Mao will brush it off.

Li Shao just hopes that it is really the case especially when the rest seems to plan on helping his father.

The idea that they will visit the Keeper's Ancestral Valley gives him hope that his father is not a criminal and can still be saved. If he can find Li Guang there, much better.
