âLittle Young Master, this matter, itâs not that I canât say....â Frowning in the face, Tian Wind spent a moment to go over his own words to not let anything that he didnât want spoken to slip, âItâs like this. At the beginning, the reason we destroyed the Bai Clan was because we got word of that family holding a treasure that could help one gain divinity. We wanted to offer it up to your father as a gift. Sadly, after gaining possession of it, there was no way to know how to use said treasure, hence our reluctance to bring it forward.
Those are nice words indeed, however, Tian Wind never once thought about giving it to Di Cang at all in fact. After all, who wouldnât want to become a god or celestial immortal if possible? But as years dragged on with no sign of them ever figuring out the secret to said item, he figured its better to use it now today as a gift to win some points with the Water Clan. At least that way he would curry some favors.
Sadly for this man though, Bai Xiachen wasnât going to go along with his plan. The boyâs face remains unchanged without any sign of being ecstatic after being told the lie.
âSo, itâs for some treasure that you destroyed the Bai Clan?â Bai Xiachen asks again, his eyes starting to narrow in.
Taken aback at first, Tian Wind had to take a good second to understand the boyâs words. Hastening to laugh in order to break the tension: âLittle Young Master, you donât have to worry about the Bai Clanâs demise, no one will know about the connection between the Tian Clan and the Water Clan. There wonât be any unwanted rumors floating around, I can promise you that.â
âOh?â Pricking his brow at the odd reply, Bai Xiachen now got somewhat curious at what the man meant, âAnd what would that connection be? How come I donât know?â
Still not following, the man continues to speak without much forethought, âThe housekeeper in the Water Clan is my brother-in-law.â
âI see...â Bai Xiachen nods his head like heâs understanding it now. Then turning to the big bodyguard nearby, âBig Bear, go tell my father to change the housekeeper, we donât need such a person working under us!â
Baddie Father really messed up this time. Heâs been here for eight years and doesnât even realize Motherâs enemy is actually right under his nose. I wonder what Mother will do to him if I tell her about this blunder. Will Baddie Father be shown the whip?
Tian Windâs expression promptly crumbled into a look of horror and shock, âLittle Young Master... is there a misunderstanding between us? My Brother-in-law has been working faithfully under the Water Clanâs rule, how can you dismiss him so readily?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Grinning right up to his eyes at being called out, Bai Xiachen knew itâs his time to play, âThatâs easy, I donât like the guy and that makes me unhappy.â
What other reason would I need? If I donât like an individual then its only normal for me to change them out, duh?
As for the debt with these people from the Tian Clan... Iâll wait till Mother gets here and let her do the final decision making. Iâm sure Mother will be very pleased.... Though Baddie Father did say not to let Mother dirty her hands, but Iâm sure she will like to anyways!
âDad!â
Tian Furenâs complexion hadnât look good to begin with, now after hearing the steambunâs words her face only got uglier as she stomped her feet.
Whatâs so great about this little thing? All he did is be born into a good life. If his mother didnât go seduce a sick bastard thatâs about to kick the bucket, why else would he be born? And now he dares to threaten Uncleâs livelihood and status? That young lord from the Water Clan canât be this stupid, I refuse to believe such a thing!
