Chapter 404: 404: Brown-Nosing

Yang Wenxiao walked ahead, with Yang Ye hurriedly following after him in small strides, “Grandpa Emperor, I haven’t seen you in a long time, I’ve missed you!”

Upon careful calculation, he has not seen Yang Wenxiao for half a year.

Yang Wenxiao gave him a half-amused look, “Miss me? Would you really be heartbroken to leave Bailu Town?”

“I originally planned to get a stunning gift for Grandpa Emperor, but then all these things happened, and so it has been delayed until now.” Yang Ye explained.

When he first came to Bailu Town, he had three goals: treasure hunting, visiting Director Gai, and seeing Qiao Xiaoinai.

Now in front of Yang Wenxiao, naturally, he chose the pleasing things to say.

“Oh, so you are actually very filial?” Yang Wenxiao laughed.

“Of course! I’ve been thinking about this gift since last year. However, Grandpa Emperor, you are so wise, everything is under your control, amazing!” Yang Ye said with two thumbs up, admiration clear on his handsome face.

He really meant it. He had searched hard for a year, only to find out that his Grandpa Emperor had identified the target twenty years ago.

Yang Wang also followed Yang Wenxiao, and he couldn’t help but interrupt, “Fourth Brother, your words are somewhat heartbreaking. This batch of treasure has now vanished without a trace.”

Would truly wise words allow this batch of treasure to vanish?

This is not flattery, this is a stab in the heart, really doesn’t know how to speak!

He gave Yang Ye a slanted look, then turned to Yang Wenxiao, serious, “But Grandpa Emperor, rest assured, I’ve turned Anping Village into a Lonely Island, the treasure can’t fly away.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao turned to Yang Wang, “I know.”

He had a smile on his face, but his reply was just three words: I know.

Yang Wang was perplexed, what did these three words mean?

He couldn’t touch the Tong family nor impose heavy punishments, he had done the best within his power.

Why didn’t he praise him?

Yang Wang was puzzled, and Yang Ye couldn’t help but laugh. He quickly said, “Grandpa Emperor, Qiao Xiaomai, that village girl, you know her, right? She made a lot of delicious food, after a tiresome journey, you can have a good rest and appreciate her cooking skills.”

Yang Wenxiao nodded, “Okay.”

He was looking forward to Qiao Xiaomai.

“The underground vault was built under her house, right?” He asked.

“Yes, yes, it’s right under her house, Grandpa Emperor, you’ll have to look closely later, the vault is very mysterious.” Yang Wang, seizing the opportunity to converse, eagerly spoke again.

Yang Wenxiao nodded again, and changed the subject, “Gai Ming, Gao Lian, you two come here.”

Gao Lian was Yang Wenxiao’s personal eunuch. With Yang Ye and Yang Wang on either side of Yang Wenxiao, Gao Lian had stepped back to give them space.

Hearing Yang Wenxiao’s words, he quickly trotted back up to him.

The Director Gai also hurried a few steps, catching up with Yang Wenxiao’s pace.

“Gao Lian, take a look, is this town built exactly as the blueprints?” Yang Wenxiao asked enthusiastically, pointing to the buildings around them.

Gao Lian quickly replied, “Exactly the same.”

He had looked at that blueprint for twenty years along with the Grand Emperor, so he knew it by heart.

The Director Gai laughed amicably, “Grand Emperor, the Academy has been built according to your design, every grass and tree won’t feel unfamiliar to you.”

“Every grass and tree?” Yang Wenxiao raised an eyebrow.

“Of course, knowing that you would come, everything that exceeded the blueprint, I ordered people to clear it away.”

Yang Wenxiao gave an exclamation, “No need for that.”

“Grandpa Emperor, you can always order people to plant them again.” Yang Ye said.

The Director Gai’s actions were intended to give Yang Wenxiao a sense of coming back to his own home. Those flowers and grass, he also had some removed along with them.

Yang Wenxiao laughed but said nothing more, continued to observe the buildings of Bailu Town, occasionally speaking a few words with Gao Lian and Director Gai, and slowly entered the Academy.
