As Bai Chang Feng watched the departing back of that shrew disappear from his eyes, the manâs irises were flashing a dead gleam by then.
âSect Leaderâ¦â A nearby guard wanted to speak up, but again and again his words were withdrawn out of hesitation.
âI know what you want to say. Humph, she wants to be Zhanpengâs daughter? We will see if she is alive still by then!â Tightly clenching his fist, Bai Chang Fengâs face was all mocking.
Iâve already said it there. Taking Ye Ying as a goddaughter will only happen if thereâs no third-generational heir to the Medicine Sect. So, that outcome would never happen because Iâve now found my granddaughter, thus making the promise invalid!
âHaha, Bai Chang Feng, we have come to visit you at your home!â
It was then that the old grandpaâs train of thought was interrupted by the far-reaching laughter from afar.
Frowning at first, the old grandpa had to take a good moment to recognize that voice. Looking up, he eyes the sky for the expected figures to eventually show themselves. But when they did so, he actually became slightly surprised by the lack of a third.
âHow come itâs only you two? Whereâs Qiu Shu Rong? (third)â
ââ¦..â
Zheng Qi (first) and Ren Yi (second) didnât answer and went silent.
What were they supposed to say?
Tell Bai Chang Feng that because of Ren Yiâs blunder in revealing Bai Yanâs whereabout to Di Cang, they now have to keep their third brother at home in order to avoid spilling the beans to their precious disciple?
No way! Absolutely not! Thereâs no way they would let others know about something so shameful!
âOld Three is busy at the moment so itâs only us two coming to visit you.â Keeping his face straight, Zheng Qi was the one who answered the question like the responsible one: âBai Chang Feng, weâve heard today is the final day of the convention. Iâm just wondering, are we too late?â
âNo, the both of you are not late at all, just in time in fact. But Iâm curious though. You three brothers have never been interested in the alchemy convention before, why the sudden change in heart by sending a Holy Landâs disciple this year?â
âOh,â Zheng Qi remains all calm and carefree, âbecause the one sent over is none other than my precious disciple.â
Da Dun Dunâ¦..
Bai Chang Feng originally wanted to take another sip from his teacup then; however, when he heard that explosive news, he literally spat the liquid out from his mouth and coughed profusely afterwards.
âYour disciple is here?â Raising his head in amazement, the old grandpaâs face clearly showed astonishment over the news.
Ever since several years ago when these three brothers said they took in a genius?disciple, theyâve been treasuring the individual like their greatest treasure. Even now, he has no information whatsoever about the person due to their protectiveness.
Hold onâ¦.
Bai Chang Feng suddenly remembered something from two days ago.?Didnât one of the guards mention something about Ye Ying getting into a conflict with the Holy Landâs disciple and wanted to drive the person away? It canât be, the very same one?
âAhumph, excuse me, but what is the name of your disciple again?â
âMy discipleâs nameâ¦â
Ren Yi had wanted to answer the other sideâs question, but it was his older brother who hurriedly stopped him with an eye signal.
âLord Bai, what sort of bad schemes are you planning there?â All smiles, Zheng Qi puts up a cheeky front like a brat: âMy disciple is not only our precious baby, our Lord is also very fond of her and even had his daughter become the girlâs little follower. So, you can lose the idea of stealing her over to the Medicine Sect.â
This bastard actually dares to inquire about my precious discipleâs origin. Dream on, we wonât be so gullible and let you steal her away!
Bai Chang Fengâs expression instantly went stiff like a piece of plywood. Showing a thin layer of anger: âElder Zheng Qi, what do you mean by that? As if I would need to steal your disciple? Am I that kind of person? Iâm telling you now, I couldnât care less about your disciple. I have a granddaughter and her alchemic skills wouldnât lose out to your disciple in any way!â
