Chapter 228: Chapter 224: The Clever Victory of Old Xu

Hey Bro, Do you really have no manuscript at all!?”

On return from the spring outing, Tang Luo lost count of how many times Xu Lao had asked this question. All the way back he kept circling around asking about the Poet’s manuscript.

How could Tang Luo respond? All he could do was to show an embarrassed yet polite smile and say, “Buzz off!”

Even the best-tempered people would explode when faced with the same question over and over again, let alone Tang Luo who was notorious for his bad temper.

But Xu Lao, despite being sternly rebuked, showed no reaction. He only let out a heavy sigh of disappointment, “Alas! Seems like there really are none!” At this moment, he wished that his own Tongming Sword Body was fake This way, he could suspect that Tang Luo was just hiding the manuscript, but his sixth sense – Tongyou Intention clearly told him that Tang Luo was not hiding anything, which was quite disappointing.

But losing the manuscript didn’t matter; the most important thing in life was to grasp the present happiness and do some meaningful things.

Xu Lao cheered up his depressed spirit, swinging his right hand grandly,” Let’s help Old Bai!”

Tang Luo held his head, somewhat speechless towards his cousin whose thought process was active and erratic.

He was just asking about the manuscript one second, and the next second he jumped to helping Old Bai. Tang Luo had a different opinion on this, “How can you help others achieve their dreams? Old Bai’s dream is to raise the children himself. Do you plan to adopt a few of your own, or stay in Xiling to help him with the children?”

“Eh- Ah! What are you saying?” Xu Lao waved his hands, “I don’t know how to take care of kids, I get a headache when I see them.”

“Then how will you help?”
