Chapter 1277 Very Strange
Celestial Master Zhang listened, his expression filled with anxiety, persistently questioning where the old tiger went.
Situ Yongjie told him the tiger ran back to the mountains on its own and cannot be found anymore. The master’s expression was very strange, yet filled with deep hope.
This left Situ Yongjie confused, not knowing why the master suddenly took an interest in the tiger, or why he hovered around the General’s Mansion. Despite being a military man, he was meticulous and carefully deflected Celestial Master Zhang’s questions without revealing the truth.
Celestial Master Zhang, having no other option, let the matter go.
However, from then on, he always approached him, seemingly unintentionally.
Being a master of the nation, Situ Yongjie found it difficult to say anything, and since then, a shadow seemed to follow him at all times.
It felt incredibly uncomfortable having a national master as a follower. Situ Yongjie felt as if he was sitting on a bed of nails, afraid of offending this ancestor and thus creating a powerful enemy within the Imperial Court.
The Old Madam noticed Situ Yongjie’s changing expression and asked without noise, "Jiejie, are you unwilling to help your mother with this? It’s a matter concerning the safety of our General’s Mansion."
Situ Yongjie thought about it and decided to make use of the situation — since this guy often followed him anyway, there was no harm: "It’s a small matter. Mother, rest assured, tomorrow I will bring the master back to the mansion. You can prepare everything."
The Old Madam was overjoyed upon hearing this, nodding repeatedly, "Good, good, that’s excellent."
