Chapter 968: Chapter 51 Giant Spirit Snake Armor_2
Owen smiled and said, "Lu Ping, your temper is becoming more and more like your Uncle Seven." The person who came was none other than Lu Yi’s father, Lu Ping.
As soon as Lu Ping saw Xi Wen, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly suppressed his anger, bowing respectfully and saying, "I’ve seen the Sect Leader Great Uncle. Great Uncle, I heard that my daughter’s leg was broken by someone, which is why I was rude; please forgive me."
Xi Wen stepped aside to let Lu Ping see Yi Yi on the ground. "Don’t act rashly; this is trouble your daughter brought upon herself."
Lu Ping had this one precious daughter whom he usually doted on excessively. Seeing his daughter in such a distressed state pained his heart, and he rushed over, asking tenderly, "Daughter, what happened to you?"
Yi Yi glanced at Ah Dai beside her and said, "You should ask him."
Anger flickered in Lu Ping’s eyes. Although it was not suitable to show his temper in front of Xi Wen, he still said resentfully, "Even if my daughter was mischievous, you shouldn’t have been so harsh. Whose disciple are you?"
Xi Wen answered for Ah Dai, "This is your youngest junior brother, Ah Dai, the only disciple of your late Uncle Owen. Ah Dai, this is your senior brother, Lu Ping. Though he’s a bit hot-tempered, he’s a good person."
Ah Dai hurriedly said, "I’ve seen my senior brother."
Lu Ping huffed, "So it’s Junior Brother. Why did you break my daughter’s leg?"
Already not good at expressing himself, Ah Dai, under the piercing gaze of Lu Ping, became even more tongue-tied.
"Dad, this time it’s indeed my fault." It was Yi Yi who ended up helping Ah Dai out of the situation. She explained what had happened and concluded, "Anyway, I don’t care, Great Grandpa said he would make a set of light armor for me. Dad, you have to vouch for me." She had heard early on that the Great Ancestor Master had obtained some superb material suitable for making light armor, and that’s why she helped Ah Dai explain, to obtain that item soon. The Snake Skin was in limited supply, so getting one set of light armor was not easy.
Having listened to his daughter’s narrative, Lu Ping knew he couldn’t blame the monosyllabic young man before him. He shook his head helplessly, unable to say a word.
By then, several second-generation disciples of the Tian Gang Sword Sect had already rushed over. Xi Wen called out to Lu Ping, "Little Lu, we need to see your Ancestor Master. Since Ah Dai is free now, why don’t you take him to cut those Snake Skins. He should know how to do it." After speaking, he quickly left with his fellow disciples.
Lu Ping was taken aback. He knew all too well the toughness of the Giant Spirit Snake Leather. As a core disciple among the third generation, the Giant Spirit Snake Leather brought by the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang was something they had tried every possible method to work with but still couldn’t find a good way to properly segment.
"Ah! Junior brother, I really am sorry. I was too reckless just now."
Ah Dai, who had broken Yi Yi’s leg, felt extremely guilty and quickly said, "No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have broken my grandniece’s leg."
Yi Yi pouted, "Okay, enough pleasantries. Just give me the compensation you owe me."
Lu Ping picked up his daughter and sighed helplessly, "You crazy girl! Always so fierce. Who would dare to marry you in the future?"
Yi Yi’s face flushed as she retorted, "Dad, what are you saying? Stop it! Hurry, carry me to where the Snake Skins are kept. I want to see how he cuts them."
Lu Ping frowned and said, "No, you’re injured like this, you must go back to your room to rest immediately, and when the light armor is ready, dad will bring it to you."
"How could that work? How can the light armor fit properly if it’s not tailored on me? Dad, my leg is fixed now, just let me go. I promise, I’ll go back to rest right away after the light armor is ready, okay?" Yi Yi displayed a look of grievance and pleaded softly.
Seeing his daughter’s expression, Lu Ping’s heart softened, "Alright, but you mustn’t move around, otherwise, it will be a problem if you end up lame."
As soon as her father agreed, Yi Yi was immediately overjoyed, promising repeatedly.
Lu Ping turned to Ah Dai, "Junior Brother, I’ll trouble you then. Let’s go now. All of you, go back to your training. You’re not diligent at all, always hovering around Yi Yi, what’s the point? Your Uncle is younger than you, yet his cultivation is far above yours." The last remark was directed at the seven or eight young disciples.
Led by Li Yi, the young disciples hastily agreed and went their way, their hearts filled with grievances. Following Yi Yi was an order from Lu Wen, but in front of the volatile Lu Ping, none dared to argue.
Lu Ping watched them leave and said discontentedly, "Yi Yi, it’s all your fault. Your senior brothers always hang around with you and they’ve picked up your lazy habits. How can this go on?"
Yi Yi snorted, "That’s my fault too? I never asked them to follow me; they cling to me on their own. Dad, you mustn’t wrongly accuse the innocent."
Lu Ping glared at his daughter, "You’re the innocent one? I must have heard wrong. Now that your leg is also injured, I want to see how wild you can be from now on. Junior Brother Ah Dai, let’s go." Saying this, he turned and headed towards the back yard.
Just then, a deep voice suddenly called out, "Ah Dai, Ah Dai—" As the shout echoed, two robust figures appeared in Ah Dai and Lu Ping’s view, it was the brothers Yan Shi and Yan Li, whom they hadn’t seen for many days. For the past half-year, the Yan brothers had been learning martial arts from Xi Wen, who told them that Ah Dai had to stay here and meditate for half a year, and they needed to patiently wait. Under Xi Wen’s meticulous guidance and their own rigorous training, their strength had greatly improved. Their bronze skin shimmered with a healthy glow, and their muscles were filled with explosive power.
