Reincarnated As A Fox With System (WN)
chapter-653

It did not take long for Wang Shan's luxurious carriage to reach his father's home since both Wang Shan's mansion and his father's manor were located at the center of Imperial City which was near the Imperial Palace.

Of course, Wang Shan's father's manor was much more luxurious and bigger than Wang Shan's mansion because he was the current Minister of Justice of this Dynasty.

When Wang Shan's luxurious carriage entered the extremely luxurious Minister of Justice's manor, Tang Li Xue secretly scanned the surrounding carefully with her [Extrasensory Perception].

'As I had expected, the guards here are much more powerful than Wang Shan's place. The strength of the guards here is actually not much weaker than the royal guards. I might not even be able to sneak into this manor easily with my [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment].' Tang Li Xue silently concluded in her mind.

Tang Li Xue glanced at the inscription carved on the manor's wall and found out it was actually quite similar to the inscription carved on the wall of the City Lord's mansion in the previous treasure game.

Suddenly, Tang Li Xue felt pressured as if she had entered a huge cage right at this moment.

If Wang Shan actually planned to catch and detain her in this Minister of Justice's manor instead, she might not really be able to escape from here!

Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down as she thought: 'Another day, another gamble... Then so be it~! It is already too late for me to retreat anyway~! We will see who will win this game in the end~!'

Since she had rejected to take part in the plan of the two foxes yesterday, it meant Tang Li Xue had already decided to put all of her bet on Wang Shan.

Yes, Tang Li Xue bet that Wang Shan was fully infatuated with her beauty, and he would never do anything to trap or harm her.

At least, that should be much better than putting her trust in her two competitors in Tang Li Xue's opinion.

When Tang Li Xue was still thinking deeply, Wang Shan had already gotten off the luxurious carriage first, and he was immediately welcomed by the old butler, several servants, and several maids.

"Greetings to the third young master~!" The old butler, several guards, and several servants said while bowing their heads a bit politely.

Wang Shan stretched out his hand to Tang Li Xue and said: "Come on, Miss Tang~! I will escort you to meet my old man!"

Tang Li Xue covered her stunningly beautiful face with a white veil to not draw any unwanted attention, and she jumped down gracefully from the carriage without Wang Shan's help.

Both Little Loki and Yaya were still sitting lazily on her shoulders.

"Let's go, Brother Wang~!" Tang Li Xue nodded and replied to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan did not feel offended and still smiled happily at Tang Li Xue as he led her to his father's courtyard.

Tang Li Xue thought that Wang Shan's father should be quite old since Wang Shan as his third son was already a middle-aged man, but when she saw Wang Shan's father with her own eyes, she immediately realized that she had been wrong.

Wang Shan's father looked as if he was only in the middle of his twenties!

Wang Shan's father was currently sitting leisurely on the rattan chair while basking under the morning sun in his beautiful flower garden.

When Wang Shan and Tang Li Xue entered his courtyard, Wang Shan's father calmly sipped on his teacup while staring at both of them curiously.

At that instant, Tang Li Xue's [Extrasensory Perception] suddenly sensed a powerful divine sense that scanned her entire body.

Tang Li Xue's figure suddenly stiffened as her mind exclaimed in shock: 'A powerful Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator~!'

Tang Li Xue instantly understood why Wang Shan's father looked much younger than Wang Shan himself.

It was because the cultivation of Wang Shan's father was already very high, so his lifespan had increased by many times!

Compared to his father, Wang Shan could only be said as a waste with Qi Condensation Stage cultivation.

To be honest, Tang Li Xue was already extremely flustered in her heart. Even her body almost turned around and ran away at full speed in reflex.

Thankfully, Tang Li Xue resisted the urge to run away on time and still put a calm facade in front of Wang Shan's father.

Wang Shan's father ignored Tang Li Xue and smiled at Wang Shan instead while saying and laughing playfully: "Hey, my son, Shan'er, looks even more handsome today~! Ahahaha~!"

Wang Shan also laughed and replied: "Of course, I am handsome~! I am your son after all~! If I am ugly, then your head might be green, old man~! Ahahaha..."

Wang Shan's father playfully kicked Wang Shan's foot and scolded him: "You, damn brat~! How dare you say something like that?! If your mom hear it, I bet she would beat your butt until you cannot sit for a few days~!"

Wang Shan instantly jumped in fright and looked around vigilantly.

After making sure that his mother was not there right now, Wang Shan sighed in relief.

Wang Shan brought Tang Li Xue closer to his father and introduced them to each other: "Old man, this is my close friend, Miss Tang Xue. Miss Tang, this is my old man, Wang Tian."

Tang Li Xue politely bowed her head and greeted with a soft gentle voice: "Tang Xue pay respects to Minister Wang Tian."

Her trembling voice could no longer cover her nervousness and panic.

Even though she looked pitiful like a frightened rabbit right now, but Wang Tian did not intend to pay any attention to her.

Wang Tian asked Wang Shan with a caring tone instead: "Do you already have breakfast, Tian'er? If you are hungry, I will ask the servant to prepare it right now."

"No, no, no... I already had breakfast... I am full." Wang Shan replied while glancing worriedly at Tang Li Xue as if he was afraid that Tang Li Xue would cry because Wang Tian had completely ignored her.

Wang Shan quickly went on Wang Tian's back and started to give him a massage while trying to persuade him: "Old man, can you give me some face? Miss Tang is so pitiful. She... She really needs our help! Can you help her, please? This will be the last time, okay?!"

Wang Tian rolled his eyes disdainfully and replied: "How many times have you already said this to me? You always say this will be the last time, but you keep coming to me and asking me to help your concubines!"

Wang Shan quickly denied this and shouted: "This time is really different than before. It is not about money, gold, releasing guilty relatives from jail, or something vulgar like that~!"

Tang Li Xue's pink lips puckered slightly when she heard Wang Shan's words.

'So, he had already brought many other girls to ask his father for help~! Sigh... So, that is the reason why his father treated me so coldly~! This damn playboy~!' Tang Li Xue cursed Wang Shan in her heart.

But Tang Li Xue also secretly felt relieved as she thought: 'I thought this Wang Tian had already noticed my identity as a fox using his divine sense. It seems I only think too much about it.'

"Oh? Really not any about those?" Wang Tian glanced suspiciously at Tang Li Xue.

Wang Shan quickly added with a persuasion tone: "Of course~! Uh, Miss Tang's parents are dying, so..."

"So, you want to ask me to bring Imperial Alchemist to treat them? Dream on~!" Wang Tian quickly interrupted with an annoyed tone.

Tang Li Xue quickly shook her head and denied it: "No, Minister Wang, a small person like me really does not have the courage to ask you to do that. I only hoped that Minister Wang can help me to go out of this city as soon as possible, so I can meet my dying parent for one last time."

Wang Tian squinted his eyes even more suspiciously and asked: "Oh? So, you want me to help you pass the sealing protection formation and go out of this Imperial City?"

Wang Shan quickly helped Tang Li Xue and replied: "That is right~! Old man, it should not be hard for you to do that, right? You only need to help Miss Tang out of this city! Well, I also want to accompany Miss Tang to meet her dying parents, so please add me too, okay?!"

Wang Tian still did not say anything as he kept staring at Tang Li Xue to measure her carefully.

After a few seconds of the silent tense atmosphere, Wang Tian finally spoke to Tang Li Xue still with a tone filled with suspicion: "Why don't you tell me your parents' location and your parents' names, then I would send my people to escort your parents here to meet you instead?"

Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in disbelief and instantly became dumbfounded after hearing Wang Tian's words.

"What a great idea, old man~!" Wang Shan exclaimed in awe at his father's suggestion.
