Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1326 - 1324: I Am Generous and Broad-Minded

Sitting back down in the elegant room, Wufu was just about to ask Mo Lan to call for the tea master when Master Gui flipped his hand, revealing a small iron canister engraved with plum blossoms.

"I promised to treat you to tea, naturally it has to be the finest tea in my possession, top-grade Xinyang Maojian Tea, with only one pound available each year, and I just acquired it," Master Gui smirked.

Wufu raised an eyebrow: "With such preparation, Master Gui, I can only assume you came well-prepared!"

Well-prepared indeed, Ah Qi thought to himself. After seeing Chi Liu leave this tea house unexpectedly, he suspected Wufu was here and came specifically to confront her. The tea was fetched back quickly on horseback.

Ding Lai had already sent someone to fetch the Small Red Furnace and tea set, preparing to boil water with one hand when Jadeite walked over and said, "I’ll do it."

Ding Lai was momentarily stunned, his gaze sweeping over his half-empty sleeve, with a wry smile tugging at his lips. Although his face didn’t show much disappointment or inferiority, he stepped aside, saying, "I trouble you, Miss Fei Cui."

"It’s just boiling a kettle of water, hardly troublesome," Jadeite shrugged.

Observing the situation, Wufu said, "Ding Lai, you must have gotten used to this hand by now, haven’t you? How have you progressed with the Left-Handed Sword Technique you acquired in the Cloud Realm?"

"To answer Miss’s question," Ding Lai saluted with one hand, "after some practice these days, I have made some progress. I must thank Miss for it, but Miss really kept us in the dark."

Wufu smirked, "I was afraid revealing my true self would strike you harder!"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, and then they laughed. Even Ah Qi, who usually wore a cold, expressionless face, had a smile in his eyes.

This person, regardless of dressing as a man or a woman, has such a candid and interesting personality.

But thinking carefully, discovering her true female identity is indeed a bit of a blow; a dignified man can’t even hold a candle to a young lady who is so at ease!

Wufu looked at Ding Lai’s hand again and said, "Since you’ve lost your forearm, you could fit a prosthetic, not just any decorative kind, but one that can serve as a weapon. Put on a glove, and it might even deceive someone."

Ding Lai was once again taken aback, a light flashed in his eyes, as he hadn’t considered this possibility.

"Do you have these connections?" Master Gui inquired.

Wufu snorted lightly, looking at him askance, "Master Gui, with your vast connections, knowing what others don’t, can a simple prosthetic with mechanical techniques be beyond you?"

Ah, she used this as a pretext to remark on his nosy behavior, slightly displeased!

Master Gui stood up and solemnly bowed to her, "Miss Wufu, don’t tease. It’s the nature of the business."

Wufu snorted softly and said, "Fine, I’ll be the bigger person and won’t hold it against you."

Ah Qi winked at Ding Lai, who stepped forward and said, "Please, Miss, if you could help, it would be my great fortune."

"Well, I really don’t know what to do, after all, I can’t forge, nor do I know Mechanical Techniques, and if I mess around, I might end up making matters worse. In this regard, you should consult professionals. As the saying goes, ’Each field has its expert,’" Wufu said.

Admitting what one does and doesn’t know, she wouldn’t stubbornly show off. In her previous life, the prosthetics she’d seen, mostly for the legs, could serve as a weapon supporting tool. Within their corps, a retired soldier had fitted a prosthetic leg for that very purpose!

"We have been presumptuous!" Ding Lai hurriedly said.

Wufu smiled and said, "Master Gui will assist you, since you are a talent, right, Master Gui?"

"Indeed," Master Gui gently smiled, taking the hot water that Jadeite offered, and began brewing tea.
