âSister Bai Yan...â Bai Yi Yi looks a little flustered as she spoke in a small and timid voice, âI... Iâm afraid I donât have the ability.â
âYou may not have the ability now, but that doesnât mean you wonât have it in the future. Iâll give you time to grow.â
Stalling in her eyes, Bai Yi Yi had to take a moment to absorb this.
Does Sister Bai Yan believe in my ability? Then... I canât let her down.
âI understand. Iâll be sure to work hard, I wonât bring disgrace to Shifu and you.â In that moment, thereâs no more timidness or hesitation, only firm strength in the lassâs heart.
What she lacks wasnât talent or strong will, itâs recognition and support. After Bai Yu passed away and Bai Yan leaving on her own, this poor orphaned girl had no one else to rely on for support. As a result, her true ability and glory never got to shine.
âGood,â Bai Yan pats her foster sisterâs head like a adult teaching a child. Then turning to Wen Shan and his daughter, her eyes got sharp and dangerous, âWen Fei Fei, I said it before, you will spit back out whatever Dan pill you ate of mine!â
As a response, Wen Fei Fei immediately stumbles back a few steps, her eyes showing nervousness.
âWhat Dan pill?â Ling Lang cuts in and asked, âYou just said Wen Fei Fei stole your Dan pill? Is that the same kind you gave me?â
Nodding at her cousinâs inquiry: âWhen I left all those years ago, I gave Yi Yi all the Dan pills I created back then, but those were eventually stolen by this Wen Fei Fei after they learned of the fact. Itâs the reason why her strength is so unstable, virtually a cripple compared to those of the same level. Even someone thatâs much weaker than her would be able to defeat her like its nothing because of that reason.â
Itâs then when all eyes were focused in on the cowering girl who got called out, Big Bear the bodyguard finally decides to stroll in with his package. He had gathered all the individuals who took part in the Bai Clanâs destruction, this includes Chai Moon who got tossed to the ground and landed beside her husband.
Naturally the clueless madam wouldnât know whatâs happening since she was suddenly dragged out from her home. Nevertheless, it didnât stop Chai Moon from getting herself back up and speaking again at those familiar faces: âHusband, whatâs going on here? Just now this man just barged into our home and tied me up, who is he?â
Wen Shan did not look to his wife though, only locking onto his own daughter using that cold hard voice: âFei Fei, is what she said true? Among the inheritance left behind by Bai Yu, thereâs really those Dan pills and that you ate them?â
The interrogation didnât warrant an answer from the shivering lass though, only a trembling picture of guilt and unwillingness to speak.
âHusband,â Chai Moon grew flustered and interjects after sensing things are not right, âFei Fei is a little spoiled at times, but you know her personality better than anyone, thereâs no way she would take other peopleâs property. How can you doubt your own daughter?â
If was in the past, Wen Shan would be convinced of Chai Moonâs persuasion and wouldnât doubt it, but now... because of Di Cangâs presence, he just couldnât believe his wifeâs claim anymore. How could he? The Water Clan could easily destroy their Wen Clan without any effort, why should they bother to lie?!
âFei Fei, Iâm going to ask you one last time, did you lie to me?â Wen Shan clenches his fist as he shouted this question out, thus causing the targeted girl to openly cry.
âHusband!â Chai Moon shot up from the floor in astonishment, unable to comprehend why her gullible husband wouldnât believe herself when he usually does.
