Chapter 826: 826: Next Door
"UNFILIAL SON!!"
It was only after the young looking Pei Ju had beaten his youngest son to a pig face that he had calmed down. Pei Xiu and Pei Yu who learned that this young boy is their father were both dumbfounded. But when Elder Shan Xu explained what happened to him, they understood that this was a mistake made by the maids in her majesty’s place. They just had to use a Immortal Mountain Dew instead of ordinary water for the bathing concoction for their father’s treatment leading him to regressing too much into such a young age. This effect is much more effective than eating a youth regressing pill.
Boohoo!
"Don’t blame me, father! You look so young that we didn’t recognize you at first sight!" Retorted Pei Xiu with a complaining tone in his voice.
The young Pei Ju coldly glanced at his silly youngest son and said, "Are you itching for another beating, hah?"
Pei Xiu immediately hid behind his elder brother who had calmly accepted the situation after the explanation. He is frowning a bit though.
"Father, if this state would last for a whole year, this means that you can’t return to the clan. What should we do?" Pei Yun said.
Pei Ju snorted. He said, "Who the hell said I am not returning? We will return alright."
"But father... None would believe that you are a clan leader in such a state?" Pei Xiu said.
Pei Ju said, "Who told you I am returning as the clan leader. We will come back to the clan and this old man will be your son!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" The other two were also surprised that they had exclaimed together with Pei Xiu.
Thud!
Pei Xiu was so excited that he stood up in a moving carriage and hit his head on the ceiling.
"That hurts!" Complained Pei Xiu. Now it wasn’t only his face which was hurting even his head was in pain.
"You foolish son! Don’t stand up in a moving carriage!" Pei Ju said.
Pei Xiu while in tears retorted, "Dad! You want to become my son!?"
Pfft!
"You father and son are hilarious! Puhaha~" said the town master, Shan Xu, as he watched the antics between Pei Xiu and Pei Ju with the calmer Pei Yun who was in the same carriage as them.
Pei Ju hit the back of the head of his youngest son in anger and embarrassment while his eldest son finally stopped him this time.
"Father, don’t hit Xiu’er on the head. What would we do if he becomes even more stupid?" Pei Yun said with a straight face. He had always been a man of few words and a few expressions. Even if he is joking his expression cannot keep up.
Hahahaha~
"You three are seriously haha..." said Shan Xu.
Pei Ju said, "Alright enough kidding around. The reason only you and I are returning is because I want to see the reaction of those two at the clan if they see that I am not coming back. Of course, your brother had another mission. He will gather force to back us up. You don’t know how to properly ask your elders for a favor but your brother is great at such tasks."
"Don’t worry, father. I think I know the right people for that task," said Pei Yun.

Meanwhile after they had left, they didn’t know that someone had been watching them ever since they came out from the mansion of the Moon Goddess. A young boy whose age is similar to Yue Zhiya had come out from the mansion on the other side of the courtyard. He had always been interested in the courtyard next door for some reason. Well, the number one reason is the scent of food coming from the other side.
This young man is none other than the child from Lei Yuwang’s lineage and is born from the Thunder King’s cousin brother’s son, Lei Ruiyi.
The Regal Lei Clan’s Main Bloodline are only two.
The lineage of Lei Yuhuang is composed of two sons, Lei Yuya and Lei Yuye, who was born from him. The eldest prince, Lei Yuya had married to his wife’s family and is now using Yue as his family name as for Lei Yuye, he is unmarried. However, the grandchildren of Yuhuang were all powerful dual divinity bloodlines. They possessed both the Ancient Moon God’s Bloodline and the Lightning Ancient God’s bloodline.
For those born female, their dominant bloodline is the Yue Clan while for those born male, their dominant bloodline is Lei Clan. That’s why the twin Moon Prince, Yue Leiya and Yue Ruiya excelled more in controlling lightning elements and even their Moon Domain had stronger lightning attribute than just moon element. The deviant one who can equally control both bloodlines is Yue Xuexia. That’s why he is Lei Yuhuang’s most beloved granddaughter as she inherited her father’s talent.
Meanwhile, Lei Yuhuang’s younger brother, Lei Yuwang had one daughter and one son. They are called Lei Meiyu and Lei Suyu. The current Prince Consort of the Yue Clan’s Crown Prince, Lei Ruiye is the son of Lei Meiyu. Lei Meiyu’s husband followed her name and was called Lei Wanyu after becoming a live-in son in law. As for Lei Suyu he has two sons, with the eldest called Lei Ruiyi and the youngest called Lei Duyi. Yue Zhiya is the son of Lei Ruiye and Yue Leiya. While Lei Liye is the son of Lei Ruiyi and Yue Zhiya’s cousin.
As for the distribution of power among the collateral branch families, the Shan Clan serves Lei Yuya and Lei Yuye. While the Dian Clan serves Lei Suyu and the Huan Clan serves Lei Meiyu. After all, among the collateral families the Shan clan is the biggest compared to Huan and Dian. Only the heir to the Regal Lei Clan can command them, which at this moment is the Thunder King, Lei Yuye, after his brother stepped down.
It can be said that the youngest generations of both the Yue and the Lei Clans were Yue Zhiya and his cousin, Lei Liye.
Lei Liye and a little older big brother called Huan Li stood in front of the gates of the courtyard of the Moon Goddess’s mansion. Because they are small and not even an adult, the height of the door feels a bit towering for them. Even then they look up, they can barely see the top of the gates. What is more surprising is when they tried to pass through the formation. For some reason, Lei Liye can enter the formation without a problem but Huan Li was blocked by it.
Lei Liye was about to leave there until he saw his future aide staring at him with round eyes about to cry out if he left him alone here. Having no other choice, Lei Liye tried to pull Huan Li inside the formation, for some reason this little servant of his can only come inside if they held each other’s hand. Once he let go, Huan Li would be thrown out by the formation around the house.
Pouting Lei Liye complained, "How annoying! How can you get thrown out just like that!? Be stronger!"
"Boohoo~ Your highness please don’t let go of this servant’s hand anymore, I have too many bruises already~," said Huan Li.
Tsk!
"Alright! Stop crying! You are older than me!" Scolded Lei Liye and said, "Go knock! I want to ask if we can go buy some food. I’ve been smelling delicious things since we moved next door."
"B-But Little Prince, what should we do for them to give us food? Are we buying it? Our money is with Senior Shan," said Huan Li.
Lei Liye acted like a spoiled brat and said, "We will think about it after eating. Go knock already!"
"Alright. I’m knocking. I’m knocking." Huan Li said as he started knocking on the door.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
At first there was only silence and after waiting for a while, the gates were finally opened by the puppet maids. The maids were looking right to left for the guests and didn’t see anyone. Just as they were about to close the gates. A small hand waves from below catching their attention.
"Here. We are here. Look down," Huan Li said to the maids.
The puppet maids didn’t expect it to be babies coming over. Moreover, one of them had similarities to one of their young masters, Yue Zhiya.
"Are you a friend of the young masters and young misses?" A maid asked.
The two children shook their heads and pointed at the courtyard next door and said, "We came from there. But there is nothing to do~."
"We heard children’s voices here. Come over to play," said Huan Li.
The two maids actually didn’t know what they were supposed to do at a time like this. Until they heard their mistress’s voice heard by both the maids and the two children.
{Invited them over. Bring them to where Zhi’er is.}
"Yes, Mistress!" The puppet maids saluted towards the direction where the voice came from. Then they invited the two young guests to the mansion. "Please go in."
After Lei Liye and Huan Li entered the mansion, right after the gates of the house had closed, the senior from the Shan Clan had come out looking around. Clearly, he is looking for someone.
"Where have they’ve gone?!"
