After saying this, the chief then firmly walked towards the door where her wife soon followed from behind. Jun Tian Yue (wife) may be quite anxious inside to meet the lass who managed to cure Huan Yin of her condition, but this mother knew she mustnât go out of line in times like these.
â¦â¦
Inside the Zhong Manor, Bai Yan had only just opened her eyes after meditating when she overheard the hearty laughs of two familiar seniors. Next thing she knew they had barged into her room with the biggest grin sheâs seen so far after getting to know them both.
âHaha, lassie, you really are our blessing. Not only did the medicine you found cure us of our old injuries, it also helped us break into the higher level of the Monarch Rank.â
In truth, these two old fellas were well into their late stages of making a breakthrough back in the day, just that due to the injury they sustained they were unable to complete the task.
With the superior strength, they now have the capital to confront Muzhen.
âIt has nothing to do with me Shifu, its entirely your own fortune.â Standing up to greet them, Bai Yan puts on a genuine smile of her own.
But before the three could rejoice in the moment, the door was once again slammed open. Coming in was Goldy in his frantic state: âMistress, something major has happened!â
Frowning at this: âWhatâs going on?â
âI and Silvery are twins so I can sense his injury. Mistress, it must be those people who are searching the river, theyâve hurt him. If Lady Tsing Yi were to be found by themâ¦. I fear it will spell her ladyshipâs doom!â
If it was a hundred years ago then no one in the Misty Fairy House could be the dragonessâs opponent. However, Tsing Yiâs been seriously injured since that event so sheâs unable to fight, let alone defend herself.
âWeâre going to the Dragon River now!â Bai Yan loudly proclaims this, her eyes sharp and dangerous.
Zhongnan and Zhongbei were also frowning after seeing their studentâs sudden change in attitude: âYanâer, do you need our help?â
âIf you could please.â For the offer, she didnât reject and kindly accepted it with a nod.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
And then, without so much as another word, her figure was gone from the spot, leaving behind only a blurring afterimage in her wake.
âHow did Yanâer move so fast? Thatâs not a speed an Earth Rank cultivator should have.â Despite his own doubts and astonishment, Zhongnan didnât want to delay and tossed the dilemma aside.
The urgent task at hand was to help his precious disciple save someone important, the rest could wait until they are back.
â¦â¦
More and more onlookers are beginning to gather around the river bank after news of the dragonâs capture.
For Ho Cui Cui who had always been a nosy person by nature, she of course couldnât bear to miss out on such a huge event. Taking advantage of the guardâs lack of attention, the former chubby girl snuck out on her own again and came to the sight where she soon noticed a certain female. âMiss Huan Yin!â
Originally Huan Yin herself wanted to ignore the fraudster when she noticed the other sideâs arrival, but to be called out in the open, itâs now impossible to pretend. Therefore, the only response was a faint nod to affirm the greeting.
Ignorant to the point of not seeing the lack of reception, Ho Cui Cui actually had the face to get all friendly despite the other sideâs unwillingness to chat. âThe evil dragon is finally caught, we can now get revenge for ourselves Miss Huan Yin, arenât you happy?â
âSlaying the dragon for doing evil deeds is fine, but I fear this creature will face a fate worse than death while in Elder Muzhenâs hand.â Sighing at the thought, Huan Yin felt pity for the serpent thatâs covered in a pool of blood right now.
As painful as it was for her heart, the girl herself knew this was how the world works. The strong eats the strong, itâs the ironclad rule of every living being.
And regarding this Ho Cui Cuiâs claim about getting revenge for them both, Huan Yin wasnât so sure about that. She may not have evidence yet but itâs just a matter of time before her father discovers the truth, that much the girl was certain.
With each tick of the clock, everyone grew increasingly more wary as they waited in silence around the river bank. But everything eventually comes to an end.
âElder, we couldnât find another dragon inside the river.â One of the members of the search group reports after surfacing.
