Chapter 712 “A Good Play’s Opening (7)”
A current of warmth filled Bai Yan’s heart because she deceived them yet they’re still willing to believe herself.
In comparison, the rest of the onlookers were gawking in frenzy over the astonishing news.
This lassie is a Monarch Rank master?
“Oh Yan Yan, you are a monster!” The womanizer grumpily comments, “You were only a King Rank three years ago, how did you reach a new stage all together in this short period?”At first the people only assumed the woman must be an old lady who maintains her image well like Muzhen did, but it’s apparently not the case based on Xun Huan’s (womanizer) suggestive words.
A twenty something years old held powers equivalent to an elder of the Misty Fairy House, if that’s not a genuine monster then what else could she be? No genius could match that talent, not even the greatest younger generation of this age!
“Chief!” Muzhen whirls herself to face the lord, “Leng’er is my student. Just because she’s at odds with her doesn’t mean she can kill my Leng’er, isn’t this too much?!”
Chief Wu Wei frowns: “They had an agreement beforehand so I’m not in a situation to intervene.”
What does he mean by not right to intervene? This old fart is clearly abandoning my apprentice because of the talent displayed by that bitch over there!
Fuming with disgruntlement inside, Muzhen hated her lack of ability. As much as she would love to tear the perpetrator to pieces, she could do nothing but swallow the indignation.
“Muzhen, you should be praying for yourself instead of worrying about your already dead disciple. If I find out you are involved with today’s case then you can forget about living!” Jun Tian Yue (wife) threatens, her eyes sharp and dangerous.It looks like the elder council needs a good cleaning. Dirt like this one is no longer needed….
Muzhen’s heart shuddered at the intimidating threat. Bowing her head, she firmly pressed away that hatred so others couldn’t see: “Yes Madam.”
“You go back to the council hall first. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to step outside!”
She’s trying to put me under house arrest! If it comes to that then I won’t have a say anymore in the future!
“Why are you still standing there for? Hurry and scram!” the ma’am barked, indicating she’s done with the old hag.
Knowing she’s done for here, Muzhen sucks in a deep breath and left without another word. In tow, she also took away the group from her side who had the misfortunate fate of meeting the same end as her.
Bai Yan on the other hand didn’t intend to let this side. Giving a signal to Tsing Yi, she intends to finish things even if the rest didn’t want to. However, Zhongnan (older) suddenly stepped in front and blocked the dragoness’s path.
“Shifu?” puzzled, she asked.
“Wait a minute first, I have something I don’t understand. Once I figure out what it is then we can kill that witch. It won’t be too late then even if she gets some time.” Clenching his old fist, the senior explains.
There are some things he must figure out. He didn’t have enough strength before so he couldn’t complain, but now that he does, he would never let Muzhen escape!
Nodding in understanding, Bai Yan wanted to inquire for more details to only realize this was no place to be doing this. It’s the open public, a lot of the onlookers would be able to easily eavesdrop on their conversation.
“Miss.” Slowly coming forward, Jun Tian Yue warmly holds onto Bai Yan’s hand and smiled warmly: “Can I ask what other family members do you have?”
Frowning at the strange and sudden question, she nevertheless replied in kind: “I have many relatives, grandfather, uncles, cousins…. and a brother.”
“Oh, what about your parents?”
“I don’t know who my father is, and my mother has been missing for years.”
The madam and her husband promptly exchanged a meaningful look with each other.
Don’t know who the father is and the mother’s missing?
The fact that they got a very good image of Bai Yan as soon as they met was a huge indicator, plus those eyes, it resembles their son Yun Feng way too much. Therefore, it’s understandable why they would think in that direction.
“Miss Bai Yan, I heard from others that were you able to cure Huan Yin’s condition. Might I ask you to have a look at my son, Yun Feng’s, illness as well? I know it’s asking too much of you but consider it a favor,” the chief asks ahead of his wife.
