Though embarrassed, Old Madam Yeâs mouth continues to work: âWhy do you have to get so nitpicky about the details, or are your feelings for my sister all fake? Is this how you treat me after sheâs gone?â
Tired now, Bai Chang Feng painfully closes his eyes for a good moment before finally shooting them open. âIf Jingâer knows about the way you are treating her granddaughter, then Iâm sureâ¦. she will support my decision!â In a wave of his hand to order the guards: âTake the members of the Ye family away and expel them from my home. I never want to see them again!â
âWait!â Lu Zhong hurries to cut in, âMilord, there is still one matter we havenât settled yet.â
âWhat is it?â
âThings are like this. Just now this alchemist from the Moon Slicer Sect claimed that his teamâs Dan pills were stolen by the lady. The accusation is a disgrace and an insult to her reputation. I implore Milord to dispose of this person.â
Bai Chang Fengâs cold face just became a dreadfully icy one, his voice dangerously angry: âWhat is going on, say it!â
The hell! All I did was have a fight with those two old farts, what did I miss during this short period?
As a result of that extreme fright from being pointed out, the man from the Moon Slicer Sect promptly plopped to the ground. His face and body showing utter terror: âThis is not my fault, itâs really not my fault. Just now it was Ye Ying who came to seek me out. Iâm only doing what she instructed. I really didnât mean to accuse the lady! Please, please let me go, Iâm begging you!â After saying that, the man then repeatedly banged his head for forgiveness until his foreheadâs bleeding.
No one said anything in the venue. Itâs so quiet that even the bristling breeze could be heard. But more than the eerie silence, theyâre more preoccupied with looking over to the certain maiden thatâs being pinned to the ground by the collapsed tree.
âLord Bai, I know I am wrong. It was Ye Ying, it was her! She seduced me with pretty words of her becoming the future heir and that I would be able to become a member of the Medicine Sect. I was stupid, thatâs why I made such a mistake. Please give me another chance. I beg youâ¦â
He didnât say it at first, mainly due to his assumption of Bai Yan not daring to kill him for it, but also the reassurance of Ye Ying saying she would protect him after the incident. But now, thereâs no longer that insurance.
Bai Chang Feng on the other hand hadnât said a word since the truth came out; however, the old grandpaâs aura alone was enough to send those nearby shirking back in fear.
âIt seems that over the years many of you have gotten the idea that Iâm no longer in charge after not taking part in the daily functions of the Medicine Sect.â Still expression and unreadable, âIgnoring the fact that Bai Yan is my granddaughter, even if she is not, I would still not permit such a thing to happen while under my rule.â
Blood now completely leaves the kowtowing manâs face.
âSince you made the mistake then your own sect can deal with you. Guards, drag him away and hand him over to the Moon Slicer Sect!â Bai Chang Fengâs voice now grew mountainous, crushing the personâs spirit until he barely breath.
âPlease, please, have mercy! I know my faultâ¦.â The kowtowing motion only increased in pace as he begged on the floor.
