Bai Xiachenâs cuddly little face was full of unhappy light when he saw that silvery snake. For such a young age, his eyes are already exuding a look of dominance.
The reasoning wasnât for anything else, merely for the fact that the snakes had tried to attack him and his mother before.
Definitely sensing the hostility coming its way as well, the silver snake only needed one glance to shrink its head and tongue backwards after noticing the glare. The poor things fearful for its life and itâs done nothing wrong!
âImpudent!â The guard from the Fiery Flame Sect grew furious.
Among the various powers out there, not many would dare act so rude while being in their presence. So, when the man wanted to go over to make an example of Bai Yan and her son, it was surprisingly the lady herself who decided to step in instead.
âThis is the Holy Land, do not cause any trouble without my order!â Huo Yunâs not stupid enough to make a ruckus here.
She may be arrogant at times but thatâs always while she knew the other side was inferior to herself. As for the mother and child in frontâ¦. she merely assumed theyâre also here for the recruitment conference, meaning thereâs plenty of opportunity to get even for this transgression!
âCome on, my cousin should be coming to pick us up so we mustnât make him wait.â Turning away, Huo Yun has completely missed the murderous intent thatâs being hidden away by Bai Yan.
Undeniably, the ladyâs selfish act of ordering her own guard to step back was the right move, otherwise the outcome wouldâve been a bloody oneâ¦.
âMother,â blinking his big blue eyes with a furrowed face, Bai Xiachen turns to Bai Yan using a pleading tone. âCan I go make trouble for her?â
Almost uncaring in the voice: âNo son, remember what I taught you. Do not make trouble for those who donât trouble you, but if they do, do not let them go!â
The implications were simple: if they dare to offend the kid then heâs free to crush them. But since theyâre still not doing anything yet, heâs not to harm them.
By this point Huo Yun had already come before the main gate of the Holy Land, and just like this lady claimed, her cousin was waiting for her already at the entrance.
âHuo Yun, youâre finally here.â A young man calls out with a beaming smile.
Losing that prideful air, the lady promptly made a shy face while being in the presence of this somewhat handsome person whom sheâs related to. âYes Cousin, I am here. Didnât my father already send word that Iâm coming to attend the recruitment conference? If I can stand out this time then we would become senior and juniors as well in the Holy Land.â
âHaha,â Lin Yahan bellows out a hearty laugh at his younger cousinâs comment, âDonât worry Huo Yun, your cousin I will definitely see to it that youâre able to join us in the Holy Land.â
Upon seeing how this big lady from the Fiery Flame Sect was able to have someone on the inside, many of the crowds were showing envious looks.
âSo she has a cousin already inside the Holy Landâ¦.â Someone mutters to their partner.
âIt would seem so. Also, Iâve heard that Lin Yahan isnât just some random disciple, his mentor is one of the judges for the event.â Another comments from a different spot.
âThen wouldnât that mean this woman and her son is in trouble? They just offended Miss Huo Yun, thereâs no way the matter would be dropped just like thatâ¦.â
Bai Yan did not respond to those various comments, instead she kept her mouth shut and silently listened to their conversations until her face has turned into an ugly frown.
To think thereâs still corruption happening in the Holy Land after I told Shifu to clean out the cancers within here.
âSon, it looks like we came back at the right time.â Curving her lips into a smile, Bai Yanâs eye gave off a sharp glint.
In any case, I better let Shifus and them know about whatâs happening here so they can pay better attention to the test.
After making that thought, she promptly grabbed hold of the two kids hand again and walked towards the main gate.
