Chapter 389 “Ready to Faint From Surprise (2)”
“Everything should be of equal exchange. Since I don’t have anything of equivalent value to give then I can’t accept something this valuable.” As hard as this was for Old Lord Lan to refuse, only the heavens would know he’s actually bleeding hard inside right now.
Naturally this wouldn’t escape the trio’s sharp assessment. Exchanging a look between themselves, the smile in their eyes cannot be hidden.
“Don’t worry about that Tian Tian, you can accept it with confidence,” Qiu Shu Rong (Third Elder) was the first to speak out, “If anything, it’s us who might need to ask you for help in the future.”
For example, let’s say they angered their precious disciple in the future after they do something terribly bad like blowing up the garden back at the Holy Island. By then all they need to do would be to coerce this old grandpa to help, no worries at all!Still oblivious to the naughty schemes swimming in the three elder’s head, Old Lord Lan on the other hand seems to have misread the meaning behind that comment and became overly excited.
Are they implying the Holy Land will need me to help in the future? But what can I possibly do that they can’t?
“I am too flattered. Please, even without this bottle of Dan pill I would still be honored to help the Holy Land!” His voice solemn and splendid.
“Haha,” issuing out a delighted laugh in response, Qiu Shu Rong (Third Elder) was filled with vigor at the successful scam, “Oh yes Tian Tian, where is my precious disciple? Why isn’t she coming out to see us?”
“This…” Awkward in his voice, Old Lord Lan became rather ashamed at the realization: “Yan Yan is currently resting inside. Do you need me to send for her?”
“Uh no that is not necessary, but would find a place for us to work? I would like to refine some more Dan pills while we are here. Once Yan Yan is well rested then we can talk some more.”
Disturbing the lass’s rest? He’s not crazy enough to do something so foolish! It’s a well known fact that the girl’s grumpiness was not to be trifled with after being disturbed during her beauty rest.Even though Old Lord Lan found it strange that his granddaughter’s three shifus would react this way, he’s not exactly in any position to diver further just for the sake of curiosity. Turning to signal the greatly shocked Dong Roulan (aunt), he knocks the woman back to her senses: “Roulan, hurry and go call your mother and everyone else out here. I will first bring our guests to their rooms.”
……
Meanwhile back in another part of the Lan residence, a certain handsome figure was currently savoring the scene in front of him with his chest partially plucked open, thus revealing those amazing muscles for all to see.
“My king, I have something to report….” It was then the door to the room was flung open and in came a fiery red bird which transformed into its human form.
Report….
Before those words could even finish, Fire Plume (Di Cang’s subordinate) had already been silenced by that suffocating pressure. It was so strong that he couldn’t even look up from his kneeling position.
Did I do something to infuriate the king? The poor bird wonders, fearing for his own future.

“I-I know my wrong,” the kneeling bird starts trembling even further.
This faithful follower of Di Cang’s has no illusion that he would’ve been tossed out of here in that split second if not for the Queen’s presence. Don’t kid around, if this man was willing to declare war on the Celestial Realm for the sake of one woman then there’s no way he himself would mean anything!
“Go out and speak,” casting one last glance at the enchanting woman lying there asleep in the bed, the dangerous man indicates to the garden outside.
