Chapter 1940: Chapter 966: Liao Chen and Qingfeng’s Childcare Chronicles (Dragon and Phoenix Twins Side Story) (Part 2)
The first aid kit crashed into the dust-covered ground, getting dirty and causing Liao Chen to momentarily not recognize it as Gu Jiao’s box.
"Open it and take a look." Liao Chen said.
The Taoist priest Qing Feng opened the box with his other hand.
An unbelievable thing happened; it was like a fake box and couldn’t be pried open at all.
Even using internal energy didn’t help.
Liao Chen handed the fire starter to Taoist priest Qing Feng: "You hold it, let me try."
Taoist priest Qing Feng was dissatisfied with Liao Chen’s action: "Do you really think you’re better than me?"
Liao Chen chuckled: "It’s not what I think; it’s a fact."
Then Liao Chen got slapped in the face, smacking hard!
He snorted coldly: "Useless box!"
Taoist priest Qing Feng said: "Now we’ve lost the last bit of clue."
Liao Chen carefully observed the faces of the two children, pondering: "Don’t you think they look a bit familiar?"
"Hmm?" Taoist priest Qing Feng couldn’t see it.
"Never mind, asking you is pointless." Liao Chen said, "Let’s find an inn first; there are too many mosquitoes at night. If you don’t rest, they need a peaceful place to sleep."
"How about reporting to the authorities?" Taoist priest Qing Feng suggested.
Liao Chen sighed: "The Yamen is far from here, besides sending such young children to the official government, there won’t be anyone to take care of them."
Taoist priest Qing Feng didn’t speak.
Liao Chen said: "If you don’t want to go to the inn, you can give me the children. I can do it alone."
Taoist priest Qing Feng pointed out bluntly: "You just want to take the opportunity to run away."
The last time, he left him in Shengdu, he looked for several months, then left him in Zhan Country, he searched for several months again.
This time, no matter what, he won’t fall for his trick.
Liao Chen waved his hand: "Suit yourself."
After speaking, he carried Xiao Yang and walked forward calmly, teasing Xiao Yang as he went along.
Xiao Yang laughed gleefully from being tickled.
Taoist priest Qing Feng frowned slightly, looked down at the little one in his arms, puzzled: "Why don’t you laugh?"
"Take the box with us." He said as he looked at Liao Chen’s back, "Perhaps there might be some new clues later."
Liao Chen helplessly returned to pick up the first aid kit.
The two of them came to the avenue.
This is the outer city, though not as bustling as the inner city, it is still quite lively.
A handsome monk and an ethereal Taoist priest carrying a pair of children walked side by side in the bustling crowd, attracting the attention of countless citizens.
Are the monk and Taoist priest a family?
And raising two children?
What a shocking and unprecedented world-shaking news!
Liao Chen is indifferent to how others see him, but someone else may not be.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chased him for several years over being watched once.
Liao Chen turned his head to glance at the certain Taoist priest pretending to be calm, suppressed his laughter, and entered the inn nearby.
He looked at the certain Taoist priest who followed: "Two rooms?"
Taoist priest Qing Feng said coolly: "Dream on."
Liao Chen said to the shopkeeper: "One superior room."
The shopkeeper stared blankly at the two of them and the children in their arms for a while before recovering: "Ah, superior room, we have, we have!"
He summoned a waiter to lead them to the top-quality room.
After entering the room, Liao Chen first placed the dusty first aid kit on the table, then gently laid the little one in his arms onto the soft bedchamber.
After finishing, he headed toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Taoist priest Qing Feng asked coldly.
Liao Chen turned around, looked at the two children, and said, "I’m going to get them something to eat. Don’t worry, I won’t escape."
Taoist priest Qing Feng said, "You have a record, your credibility is poor, I don’t trust you."
Liao Chen said, "Why don’t you go then?"
Taoist priest Qing Feng reasoned, "If I leave, you will still escape."
Liao Chen held his forehead: "Then what do you suggest?"
Taoist priest Qing Feng said seriously: "Give me your token."
"Hiss–" Liao Chen gasped, the token is his most valuable item, it must not be casually given to others.
But if not given, this guy is too troublesome.
"Forget it, forget it, I’ll give it to you." Liao Chen took out the token from his bosom and casually tossed it to the other.
The other easily caught it: "Alright, now you can go."
Liao Chen shook his head and went downstairs to the kitchen to find some food.
The two children look about five months old, they can eat some fine rice porridge, he went to the kitchen to ask someone to cook two small bowls of rice porridge, and ordered a few exquisite and tasty small dishes, instructing the waiter to deliver them to the superior room later.
He carried the rice porridge upstairs on a tray, just reaching the doorway when he ran into Xuanyuan Qi coming from the end of the corridor.
The father and son were both startled.
"Dad?"
"Zhengzheng?"
Xuanyuan Qi was out of town on business, having just secretly met an important person at the inn, he didn’t expect to run into his long unseen son here.
"Zhengzheng, how come you are here?" He asked curiously, his gaze falling on the tray, "What’s that?"
Before Liao Chen could answer, the waiter came over with a bucket of hot water and said to Liao Chen: "This guest, the hot water you and the other guest ordered, shall I deliver it to your room now?"
Xuanyuan Qi’s frame shook: "You booked a room with someone?"
As he spoke... Liao Chen slapped his forehead: "Don’t misunderstand, it’s a Taoist priest."
Xuanyuan Qi’s frame shook again: "You booked a room with a Taoist priest?!"
Liao Chen indicated for him to look at the two bowls of porridge on the tray, and said with deadpan humor: "It’s because of the children..."
Xuanyuan Qi’s frame shook thrice: "You even have children?!!"
"Dad!" Liao Chen was speechless, "It’s not the kind of relationship you think!"
Just then, Taoist priest Qing Feng emerged with the token.
Xuanyuan Qi didn’t look at the face, he first saw the token, and was immediately thunderstruck, roaring in disbelief: "You even gave away the family heirloom???"
