Chapter 736 “The Furious Bai Chang Feng (13)”
Sure enough…
The last tidbit about someone trying to kidnap his daughter had finally brought the man’s attention back to reality. He may be mostly filled with the yearning moment where he and his wife reunites again, but that’s still far into the future and not now.
“This… mistake, my mistake,” all embarrassed, Qiu Shu Rong (third) hurries to correct himself. “No matter what, Yan Yan’s identity within our Holy Land is extremely high, there’s no reason for her to discard that to come to the Misty Fairy House.”
Muzhen had been listening in on every despite her dreadful condition. Due to the excessive blood loss and repeated injury, she’s incapable of speaking or moving, only able to stare intently with her murky eyes like she’s unable to accept fate.“Yan Yan, you should hand this Muzhen to us in the Holy Land instead. The torture chambers inside the Punishment Hall is much more suited for the likes of her.”
“No way!” Bai Chang Feng angrily refuses, ” Yan’er already promised to hand that wretched woman over to me for disposal, I won’t let you rob me of my pleasure of getting payback.”
“So what if I’m robbing you? It’s not like it’s the first time you robbed people from our Holy Land anyways. It’s about time us brothers got some payback on you.”
“I said no so it’s a no! You bunch from the Holy Land is too soft, totally incapable of properly making her regret for what she’s done!”
……
The onlooking crowds were dead silent as they all watched the bickering nonsense from the three prestigious old seniors.
It’s one thing to compete between themselves for some geniuses, after all, that’s expected for every power and faction out there. But now they’re arguing over who gets custody of a prisoner? That’s just ridiculous!“Ahumph, excuse me but Muzhen is a person of my Misty Fairy House. If there is any punishment to be made, I believe I should be the one who gets to decide.” Chief Wu Wei decides to chime in after some thought.
This would be a good opportunity to make up for my past mistake, otherwise I might get demoted even further than I already have in front of my family….
“Scram!”
“Who do you think you are?! I still haven’t settled the debt with you yet and you dare come shove your face in front of us? Heck, I’m seriously worried you might just let this woman go if we’re not looking!”
Originally the three bickering old fellas were still going at it until the annoying pest decides to cut in. And without deviating from expectation, they promptly unified to shut the chief down and glared daggers at the person.
Against the complete lack of respect, Chief Wu Wei could only say he’s absolutely steaming. I am still the leader of the Misty Fairy House, when I have to endure such indignation? Dammit, if not for my wife and children, I wouldn’t even put up with you bastards!
“You all want to quarrel then do so afterwards. I came to the Misty Fairy House for a seed from the Blood Vine plant.” Bai Yan figured its time she stepped in less this drags on till midnight.
“Oh how careless of me,” Jun Tian Yue pats her own forehead like a forgetful person. “What are you still standing there for? Don’t you see your granddaughter is asking for the Blood Vine? Hurry and go grab it before I get angry!”
“Oh, oh, yes Wife!” Coming back to his senses, Chief Wu Wei made quick work of running inside to retrieve said item. Minutes later, he’s returned with the precious box holding the seed inside.
The elders of the Misty Fairy House had wanted to protest at the sight, but in the end, they couldn’t bring themselves to speak up in light of those moving jaws.
“Here you go Yan’er…” All flattering in his demeanor, the chief offers up the prize.
“Who said you can call her that?” Bai Chang Feng snorts, all huffing and puffing.
Qiu Shu Rong (third) also frowns over the form of address: “You should be calling her Miss Bai Yan.”
As for Ren Yi, this usually calm elder from the Holy Land didn’t openly speak out due to his character, but that disapproval gaze said it all.
These old bastards are too much! The chief complaints, feeling hurt and wanting to cry.
“The Blood Vine seed that you wanted.”
In the end the man decides to outright not address the girl. He knows that if he did call her Yan’er again then they would not let it settle. And since he’s not willing to lower himself to the point of doing a formal greeting since he was the girl’s grandfather as well, the best course of action would be to skip on the subject.
