Chapter 55 Walking on Yellow Flower Mountain, Overnight Stay at Nuwa Temple
Lady Yin half-leaned on the soft couch in the bedroom, one hand rubbing her temple while glancing at the letter on the small redwood table beside her, her brows furrowing even tighter.
"That child, how could he just leave a letter and go."
Her voice was full of worry, speaking in a low tone: "He’s never left Chentang Pass since he was little, and now he’s suddenly going to Sanshan Pass so far away. I really fear something might happen to him. It’s already late, I don’t know if he has a place to stay or something to eat, sigh."
Cui Yu, who was serving on the side, was also discontent.
She favored Nezha over her own younger brother. Although with him not at home, she would have less work, the thought of him traveling to Sanshan Pass, crossing thousand mountains and rivers, with dangers like wolves, tigers, and leopards along the way made her worried, unable to eat or sleep.
She thought to herself that the little maid in Nezha’s room was quite carefree. Although she was just a little girl, she boasted about the young master being very capable and claiming he would not only be safe but would soon return; she had no idea where her confidence came from.
Lady Yin then asked, "Is the Master still angry?"
Just then, Huang Jin came in from outside. She had just returned from visiting relatives in the countryside two days ago and wore a newly made light-yellow cotton dress, a dark blue belt tied around her waist. In Nezha’s words, it accentuated her slim waist and long legs, unmatched within the Li Mansion.
Among the main maids, she was the youngest, just turned fourteen this year, and she loved gossiping. Upon hearing the Madame’s question, she dramatically said, "I just passed by the study and didn’t dare get close. There was clattering, things being smashed constantly. I heard from Fan Ge, who serves there, that the Master is nearly out of his mind with rage."
Hong Fei added, "I don’t know why the Master is so angry. It’s not like he’s unaware that Nezha isn’t an ordinary child. Not only does he have innate divine strength, but he’s also a disciple of an Immortal. I even heard he killed a Yaksha in the sea; going on a journey to see the world is a good thing."
