Sure enough, Bai Xiachen became stumped for words at that sort of an answer. True, considering his old manâs status and power, why should he deal with those people from the Water Clan? Simply having Black Turtle order them would be more than sufficient.
âPapa, how did Black Turtle know about you coming here anyways? Also, how did he know you needed a body to use and arranged the Water Clanâs young lord for you from the beginning?â Biting his fingernail, the boy questioningly asks with a look of confusion.
Donning a dazzling smirk, Di Cangâs reply left his son astounded: âI donât know.â
I donât know?
Only a fool would believe that!
Huffing and puffing, Bai Xiachen didnât buy a single word of it. As curious as he was right now, the boy knew he wonât get an answer from his old man. If anything, he could always turn to State Teacher for an answer. After all, that guy always seem to have the answer to everything.
âWhy are you being so nosy for? Didnât you want to go find your mother?â Giving his sonâs head a rub to shoo him along, âThen you can go now. Remember, if someone disrespects you then put them in their place! My son will suffer under no one!â
Giggling with laughter, the steambun didnât need his old man to tell him that: âPapa, as if you need to tell me that. I have never been one to swallow any grievances.
From the time heâs been born, to the current day, this rascal has never eaten any grievances, not even once.
âThen go, Iâll have things arranged for you.â After saying that, Di Cangâs gaze inexplicably shifted to the exit and into the far-off unknown. Its as if heâs looking at others thatâs not within his view yet within his senses.
If these people in the Water Clan obey and listen then I can let them be, but if they get restless and try anything.... I wonât mind letting them fall from their current heights once and for all.
âGoodbye then Baddie Father.â Waving his hand, the rascal didnât hesitate and quickly ran for the door. His demeanor told everyone that he couldnât wait to leave this place.
Meanwhile in the back, Di Cangâs face had gone all black again. This brat, does he hate spending time with his own father that much? And why is he using that nickname again?
Unaware of the woes plaguing his old man, Bai Xiachen only had the happy thought of reuniting with Bai Yan in his mind. Nevertheless, that doesnât mean his absent mindedness meant his senses for the surroundings were hindered in any way because heâs quickly able to dodge to one side when a hand tried to push him after leaving the courtyard.
The perpetrator of the act belonged to a child of about ten years old. Considering the number of lackeys following this kid, itâs obvious heâs someone of important status in this Water Clan. Even so, that doesnât the steambun would take this hostility lying down, which manifested into him pinching the other kidâs wrist until a crunching sound could be heard due to the pressure.
âAHHHHHH!!!!!!â
The kid wept like a screeching banshee due to the pain, causing the lackeys behind him to freak out as well. Sadly for them though, right as they tried to move forward to help, Bai Xiachenâs threatening glare stopped them in their tracks.
âLin Lin!â Suddenly, an urgent call came from further ahead.
Turning to look for the source, Bai Xiachen could see a beautiful woman running over in haste.
âLet go of my Lin Lin now!â The lady orders, her eyes bordering on the line of tears due to the pained expression of her son.
Smirking at the demand, the steambun starts going back to his old away of acting innocent: âWhy should I let him go when he tried to push me? Is this how members of the Water Clan act, such unruliness?â
