Chapter 971 Baird pretending to be sick

The next morning, Weilin sat up from the bed and looked at Xuemiya who was getting dressed. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "How is Theresa?"

Xuemiya turned around and looked at her husband in surprise: "You actually still remember that you have an apprentice."

Upon hearing this, Weilin coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "Why can't I remember? After all, I only have this one disciple!"

Seeing this, Xuemia stopped teasing Weilin and replied with a smile: "Theresa is now learning how to cultivate potions from Midori. You don't have to worry about her education in the next few years."

After chatting for a while, with the help of Xuemia, Weilin put on his clothes, picked up the adventure book, and walked towards the study.

Arriving at the study, Weilin sat on the soft leather sofa, looked at the scenery outside the window, and waited patiently.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the study door.

Weilin retracted his gaze and said, "Come in."

After receiving the promise, the head maid Hilda, who was standing outside the study, opened the door, came to Weilin, bowed and saluted, and said, "Master, the messenger knight has reported that Lord Baird is seriously ill and needs to rest for a while. He cannot come to Star-Moon Castle for the time being."

"He's going to get sick again?"

Thinking of this, Weilin looked up at Hilda and asked, "I remember I didn't tell you why I invited Baird here."

Hilda answered truthfully: "Master, you only told me to send someone to Qixing City to invite Lord Baird, and did not reveal any other information."

When Weilin heard this, he thought to himself that it was indeed so.

In the past, only Baird came to stop him, but today it might be the other way around.

"Hilda, go inform Kyle and ask him to prepare some supplements. Later, follow me to Qixing City to visit Chief Steward Baird. He has worked day and night and has fallen seriously ill. As a lord, you should go and comfort him."

"Yes, Master."

Hilda lowered her head and replied, then prepared to turn and leave.

"Wait a moment."

"Master, do you have any other instructions?" Hilda stopped, turned around and asked respectfully.

"Keep this a secret for now."

"Yes, Master."

After Hilda left the study, Weilin came to the desk and put a stack of documents into the space ring.

It is important to visit the Grand Steward, but we must not forget the business.

He now really wants to know what disease Baird has, is it "procrastination" or "political inaction".

Although from the perspective of a lord, I am not qualified to mention these two words, but from the perspective of...

"Forget it, never mind. I am diligent today anyway."

After muttering to himself for a while, Weilin took off the sword of Anansi, tied it around his waist, and left the study.

On the other side, after learning about this, Kyle looked strange and asked uncertainly: "Does the chief steward really not know what the master is going to tell him?"

"Yes, Lord Kyle, the master only told me to send someone to invite the chief steward, but did not tell me what the matter was." Hilda replied.

"Go and do your work first."

"Yes, Lord Kyle." Hilda bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

Kyle put down the book in his hand, stood up, walked out of the library, and headed towards the castle warehouse to pick out some supplements.

At this time, he was also somewhat curious about the sudden illness of Chief Butler Baird.

In the past, it was only the chief steward who tried every means to stop the master, but now it is the other way around, and no one knows what the situation will be like.

Half an hour later, Weilin and Kyle met at the east gate of the castle and flew towards Qixing City.

In a simple room in Baird Manor in the East District of Qixing City, Baird was lying on the bed with a pale face. He looked at his wife Yieta and whispered, "What do you think of my current appearance?"

Hearing this, Yieta looked at her husband, trying not to laugh, and whispered, "I don't think you can fool the Lord."

"I didn't intend to deceive him. I just wanted to get more manpower." Baird waved his hand and said, "Every time he assigned me a lot of tasks, he didn't give me enough manpower. If those archons were not my old subordinates and students, I would have cheated them many times based on the idea that the people I borrowed were my people. Otherwise, I would have to compete with the master every day."

"In order to protect me, they actually set up three lines of defense outside Xingyue Castle. What do you think this is all about?"

Looking at her husband's melancholy look, Yieta covered her mouth and laughed softly.

"By the way, can Angel and Odalis Shepper handle the affairs of Qixing Territory while I'm away?"

Yieta pulled the quilt over and covered Baird with it, and said softly, "Don't worry, the three of us have been with you for so many years, and we have learned at least 70% of what you have learned. With these two around, you can rest assured."

Baird looked at Yieta and said with some guilt: "Thank you for your hard work over the years."

"Look at you, saying that again. The three of us are your wives. It's only natural for us to share some of the responsibilities for you. Why bother asking for thanks?" Yieta rolled her eyes at Baird and said helplessly.

While they were talking, a young girl entered the room, came to the bedside, and whispered, "Father, mother, the Lord and Lord Kyle are here."

After hearing what his youngest daughter Lansha said, Baird immediately lay down on the bed and pretended to be dying.

Yieta's expression changed rapidly, revealing a look of sadness.

The red-haired girl standing aside looked at her father and mother, opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, the red-haired girl fell to her knees and buried her face in the quilt.

Entering the room, Weilin looked at Baird, whose face was pale and whose life was weak, with a look of concern on his face. He came to the bed and said in a low voice, "Baird, how do you feel?"

Baird was about to say something when he heard the voice of his master in his heart.

"You are really good at pretending to be sick. Look, your daughter is laughing over there."

"cough cough"

Baird coughed a few times to hide his inner embarrassment, pretending to be weak on the surface, and said: "My lord, my illness came on suddenly, and I will be fine after resting for a year or two."

"While I am recovering, my three wives will take care of all matters. You don't have to worry about the operation of the territory."

"Don't bother with that. I know a little about treatments. Even if your soul is defective, I can heal you." As he spoke, Weilin asked Yieta to step back a little, walked in front of Baird, and put his hand on his shoulder.

Without waiting for Baird to say anything, Weilin directly broke through the depression in his body and poured magic power into his body to heal his injuries.
