Chapter 231: Chapter 51 Giant Spirit Snake Armor_2
Xi Wen smiled and said, "Lu Ping, your temper seems to become more like your Seventh Uncle." The person who had arrived was none other than Lu Yi Yi’s father, Lu Ping.
Upon seeing Xi Wen, Lu Ping was startled. He quickly reigned in his anger and greeted respectfully, "I greet the Sect Leader Uncle. Uncle, I heard that my daughter’s leg was broken, thereby causing my discourtesy. I ask for your forgiveness."
Xi Wen sidestepped, allowing Lu Ping to see Yi Yi on the ground. "Don’t jump to conclusions, your daughter brought this upon herself."
Lu Ping only had this one precious daughter, whom he usually pampered a lot. Seeing her in such a pitiful state, his heart ached. He quickly went over to her and asked gently, "Daughter, what happened?"
Lu Yi Yi glanced at Ah Dai sitting next to her and said, "Ask him."
Lu Ping’s eyes flashed with anger. Although it was inappropriate to vent in front of Xi Wen, he still bitterly said, "Even if my daughter is mischievous, you shouldn’t have used such excessive force. Whose disciple are you?"
Xi Wen answered for Ah Dai, "He’s your youngest apprentice brother, Ah Dai, the only student of your deceased Uncle Owen. Ah Dai, this is your senior brother Lu Ping, who, despite his fiery temper, is a very good person."
Ah Dai quickly said, "I greet my Senior Brother."
Lu Ping hummed, "So it’s the little junior brother. Why did you break my daughter’s leg?"
Ah Dai wasn’t adept at expressing himself. Under Lu Ping’s burning gaze, he became even more tongue-tied and couldn’t articulate a reply.
"Dad, it was really my fault this time." The one who came to Ah Dai’s rescue was Yi Yi. She recounted the circumstances leading to her injury. In the end, she added, "Anyway, I don’t care. My great-grandfather said he would make a light armor for me as compensation. Dad, you have to testify for me." She had heard that the Great Ancestor Master had obtained some valuable material. Using it to make a light armor was certainly a good idea, so she explained the situation on behalf of Ah Dai in order to get this treasure as soon as possible. The amount of snake skin was limited, and it was not easy to acquire a piece of light armor.
After listening to his daughter’s account, Lu Ping realized that he couldn’t blame the inertia of the boy standing before him. Helplessly, he shook his head and was rendered speechless.
By this time, several second-generation disciples of the Tian Gang Sword Sect had arrived. Xi Wen said to Lu Ping, "Little Lu, we are going to see your Great Ancestor Master. Since Ah Dai is free now, you can take him to cut those snake skins. He should be capable." Having said that, he quickly left with his disciples.
Lu Ping was shocked. He was very familiar with the toughness of the Giant Spirit Snake’s skin. As one of the core disciples of the third generation, he along with the others had tried various methods to cut the giant spirit snake skin. However, they had failed to split it into suitable shapes.
"Ah! Little Brother, I’m really sorry, I was too impulsive."
Ah Dai felt very guilty about breaking Yi Yi’s leg. Upon hearing Lu Ping’s apology, he quickly said, "No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have broken my niece’s leg."
Yi Yi pouted, "Alright, let’s stop with the formalities and give me my compensation."
Lu Ping picked up his daughter and sighed helplessly, "You crazy girl! Always acting so tough. Who would dare to marry you in the future?"
Yi Yi’s face turned red, and she complained, "Dad, what are you talking about? You’re so annoying! Quick, take me to where the snake skin is stored. I want to see how he’ll cut it."
Lu Ping frowned, "No, with your injury this severe, you must rest immediately. Once the light armor is finished, I’ll send it to you."
"That’s not right, a custom-made light armor made without measurements won’t fit. Dad, my leg is already healed, so just let me go. I promise, right after the light armor is made, I’ll immediately return to my room to rest. Isn’t that all right?" Yi Yi’s face expressed her grievance as she pleaded.
Seeing his daughter’s expression, Lu Ping’s heart softened, "Fine, but you shouldn’t move around. Otherwise, if you become a cripple, it will be a problem."
Hearing that her father had agreed, Yi Yi was overjoyed and repeatedly promised.
Lu Ping turned to Ah Dai and said, "Little Brother, it will be a bit troublesome for you. We should leave now. All of you go back to your training, you’re not diligent at all, always hanging around Yi Yi. Your Uncle is younger than all of you but has higher martial arts skills." The last sentence was directed at the seven or eight young men.
Li Yi and the others hurriedly agreed and left with a yes, appearing obedient. They all felt wronged in their hearts. Pursuing Yi Yi was all Lu Wen’s instruction, but no one dared to argue in front of the volatile Lu Ping.
Lu Ping watched them go and discontentedly said, "It’s all this crazy girl’s fault! Your senior brothers spend so much time with you that they’ve become lazy. How can they continue like this!"
Yi Yi huffed, "It’s my fault too! No one asked them to follow me around, it’s they who want to cling to me. Dad, you shouldn’t wrongly accuse me."
Lu Ping glared at his daughter and said, "You’re a good person? Have I heard you wrong? Now that you’ve injured your leg, I’d like to see how you run wild. Ah Dai, we should go." With that, he turned and walked towards the backyard.
Just then, a deep voice suddenly rang out, "Ah Dai, Ah Dai--" Along with the shout, two robust figures appeared in the sight of Ah Dai and Lu Ping. These were the long-unseen brothers Yan Shi and Yan Li. In the past half year, the Yan brothers had been learning martial arts from Xi Wen. Xi Wen told them that Ah Dai had to stay here and cultivate quietly for half a year, asking them to wait patiently. Under Xi Wen’s careful guidance and their own diligent practice, their skills had greatly improved. Their bronzed skin glittered with a healthy glow, and their muscular bodies were full of explosive power.
