Yun Fengâs first reaction upon making contact with the old hag was a cold hard glare: âGET OUT!â
ââ¦â¦â
Muzhen was completely taken aback by the shout. Unlike right now, the man from many years ago had always showed respect for herself so this form of the young lord didnât fit her image of him.
âFor more than twenty years my mind may have been lost in a haze of confusion, but that doesnât mean I donât know anything!â
The old witchâs appearance was undoubtedly a stimulant to the already unstable Yun Feng. Therefore, despite his weakened state, the man manages to muster enough strength to shoot over a sword like glare to Muzhen. Thereâs an unabashed disgust in his eyes, thatâs how much he disliked the woman.
âHow many times have you slipped into my room while my parents arenât paying attention? And how many times have you tried to do illicit things to me? My mind may not be at its clearest over the years but that doesnât mean I would forget thereâs a woman waiting for me out there!â
âMuzhen, I respected you as an elder but your behavior really makes me sick!â
The room had turned deathly quiet following each statement coming out of the patientâs mouth. And since his voice was loud and clear, even Bai Chang Feng who remained outside could hear the whole story.
âWow, this Misty Fairy House is such a mess. Iâm so glad itâs not my home, otherwise I would be disgraced to the point where I have to hide my own face. Once I meet that eighth grade alchemist I should go back before I get any more involved.â Sighing at the worldâs depressing lack of moral integrity, Bai Chang Feng really didnât want to stay at this filthy place.

Aside from Jun Tian Yue (wife) who had long become aware of the ulterior motives of this old witch, the other three respected elders who also came inside were left flabbergasted. Their mouths kept working like they wanted to say something but itâs too much for their brains to process. Aside from the murmuring mumbles, no words could be pronounced.
Chief Wu Wei on the other hand didnât go down that route. Flaring into an explosive rage, he nearly completely loses it in his demeanor: âMuzhen!â
Despite jolting her body at the ear defeating roar, the shameless old hag actually had the nerve to retort with a ridiculing cackle of her own: âNo matter how bad I am, I canât be anymore worse than an ordinary girl. A woman without power or influence has no right to be at the young lordâs side. Besidesâ¦â Pausing in her voice to organize her defense: âYun Feng is the one chosen by the goddess. Now that heâs recovered, its time he married the great being. A mere wench who only knows greed is not worthy of him!â
Though exposed to her filthy ways, the old woman did have a point in the eyes of the other people around. Aside from the Zhong brothers and the two parents present, none were willing to speak out in protest to that claim.
âElder Muzhen is right, we canât afford to offend the goddess.â
âThatâs right, the goddess is not only a person from the Celestial Realm, sheâs also the woman pursued by the Demon Lord and Celestial Lord. The fact that the young lord could be chosen by someone so great is his fortune.â
âWe canât miss this opportunity. If our Misty Fairy House can appease the goddess then itâs equivalent of forging a bridge between us and those in the upper realm. We mustâ¦.â
Under normal circumstances, the patient himself wouldâve went mad by now after hearing all those stimulating words. But now, his expression was extraordinarily calm to the point where itâs frightening.
âYears ago I lost my wife and daughter because of you people. Now Iâm back, I will never be any of your puppets. If any of you bastards dare to get in my way then I would rather die before I allow any of you to get with your ways!â
Daughter?
The threat was definitely damning for those who heard it, but itâs the word âdaughterâ that fully captured everyoneâs attention. Theyâre filled with shock in the eyes.
The young lord has a daughter?
Turning to Bai Yanâs presence, Yun Fengâs gaze turned from a cold hard glare to a soft gentle look of a father facing their children. âChild, youâve suffered during this time. Donât worry, I wonât let anyone bring harm towards you again.â
