Chapter 177 : Heaven And Hell Peak (2)
"It has been almost two months!" Lady Song wiped the non-existent tears from the tails of her eyes. "Two months, and no news at all! Oh, my son... My son, why must you worry your mother so? Do you not care about your mother anymore?"
Zhang Zhiyuan laughed nervously in an attempt to dilute the dramatic atmosphere that hung in the air.
"Crown Prince, apologies for the exaggeration. Fengxi, he... Ufff..."
Zhang Zhiyuan did not get to end his sentence because Lady Song rammed his back hard with the handle of her peacock fan. The lady gave him a warning look, which he interpreted as "Shut up now or sleep in the backyard tonight".
Zhang Zhiyuan was thereafter as quiet as a mouse. His wife was more than glad to steer the conversation to her intended goal.
"My son went to train at the dangerous Heaven and Hell Peak to prepare for the upcoming competition," Lady Song lamented.
"He is just a martial art crazed son of mine. Oh, what will I do if something happens to him? He is alone out there, I am so worried...!!!"
Xie Jianyu listened enough of Lady Song’s lamentation. If she continued, she might start singing funeral songs for his son.
"Rest assured, Lady Song. I will head to the Heaven and Hell Peak now. When I meet Zhang Fengxi, I will send him back home at once."
After Xie Jianyu left, Zhang Zhiyuan stared at his wife. Having taken off her fake sorrowful expression, she was back to being her usual self.
"Dear, what was that for?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked in disbelief. "Why did you ask the Crown Prince to go and fetch Fengxi?"
