In this usually quiet estate, the eager voice of this womanizer was no different from an injection of adrenaline, sending all of the occupants inside to rush out in search of the commotion.
âWhat happened Xun Huan?â Jun Tian Yue (wife) asks her son after seeing that urgent demeanor.
âMother,â he firmly grabs onto that arm, âhurry and go call everyone, just now my friendâs been dragged away by a dragon living under the Dragon River.â
WAH!
The group of elders who followed from behind the lady of the house were all aghast by the shocking news. Their faces were either showing incredulous or disbelief.
Dragon?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Dragon River is really home to a dragon?
For a while there, everyone was exchanging silent looks because they knew thereâs just no way for survival after being towed away for so long.
âSon,â the mother remains to be the calmest here and wanted some more details, âtell me what exactly happened first.â
Giving a slight nod in return, the womanizer knew he must do as told in this situation. Bit by bit, he went over the story of how Bai Yan cured Huan Yinâs condition, then of how she dived into the water despite the danger in order to save the two girls who were dragged under the water.
Jun Tian Yue and her husband Wu Wei were both quite shocked in the face afterwards. One for learning thereâs such a selfless person under them, the second being the incredible ability the lady portrayed on the boat.
âYou mean that lady really cured Huan Yinâs condition?â Chief Wu Wei asks with a tinge of anxiousness in his voice.
The man held a very clear picture of the lassâs physical condition so the fact that someone could cure her left a lot of questions to be answered.
âYes Father, you must save her!â
Even at this point the womanizer still doesnât know why heâs acting so heartbroken over the scene of Bai Yan being dragged into the bottom of the river. Itâs definitely not love or adoration, that much heâs certain. So, what could this feeling be thatâs constantly stinging at his heart?
âOkay,â the motherâs gaze looked grim, âI will have our people go search for the lady. Perhaps she might be alive still if we are quick.â
With the guarantee of the lady of the house, Xun Huanâs expression also lightened up: âThank you Mother, as long as you can save her then I will be good in the future too!â
Making a helpless smile over her sonâs promise, this mother didnât know whether to be happy or sad that it took so long for her second son to reach this level maturity. Compared to her first son, Xun Huan definitely left a lot to be desired of.
âYou go and rest first. If thereâs any news then I will come inform you.â
Giving a nod at that, the man then turns away for his own room.
âMadam.â
The elders were dissatisfied with the rash promise and quickly objected: âThe first master is already terminally ill. We donât have time to waste on searching for some stranger. Please reconsider the decision.â
Growing heavy in the complexion, the woman got stern in the voice almost immediately: âThis is my decision. No one is allowed to have any objection.â
âChief!â The elders then shift their eyes over to Chief Wu Wei instead.
Coughing twice at the added attention, the chief knew he must take a side: âEverything is to be done according to my wifeâs will.â
Since Wu Wei has spoken, the rest of the elders could do nothing but carry out the command. Arching their fist, they quickly retreated away.
âAre you trying to take a chance with that lady after hearing Xun Huanâs claim?â Alone now, the husband turns to his wife and asks inquisitively.
