Chapter 527 “Indulgence with the Face Slapping (26)”
Though embarrassed, Old Madam Ye’s mouth continues to work: “Why do you have to get so nitpicky about the details, or are your feelings for my sister all fake? Is this how you treat me after she’s gone?”
Tired now, Bai Chang Feng painfully closes his eyes for a good moment before finally shooting them open. “If Jing’er knows about the way you are treating her granddaughter, then I’m sure…. she will support my decision!” In a wave of his hand to order the guards: “Take the members of the Ye family away and expel them from my home. I never want to see them again!”
“Wait!” Lu Zhong hurries to cut in, “Milord, there is still one matter we haven’t settled yet.”
“What is it?”
“Things are like this. Just now this alchemist from the Moon Slicer Sect claimed that his team’s Dan pills were stolen by the lady. The accusation is a disgrace and an insult to her reputation. I implore Milord to dispose of this person.”
Bai Chang Feng’s cold face just became a dreadfully icy one, his voice dangerously angry: “What is going on, say it!”
The hell! All I did was have a fight with those two old farts, what did I miss during this short period?
As a result of that extreme fright from being pointed out, the man from the Moon Slicer Sect promptly plopped to the ground. His face and body showing utter terror: “This is not my fault, it’s really not my fault. Just now it was Ye Ying who came to seek me out. I’m only doing what she instructed. I really didn’t mean to accuse the lady! Please, please let me go, I’m begging you!” After saying that, the man then repeatedly banged his head for forgiveness until his forehead’s bleeding.
No one said anything in the venue. It’s so quiet that even the bristling breeze could be heard. But more than the eerie silence, they’re more preoccupied with looking over to the certain maiden that’s being pinned to the ground by the collapsed tree.
“Lord Bai, I know I am wrong. It was Ye Ying, it was her! She seduced me with pretty words of her becoming the future heir and that I would be able to become a member of the Medicine Sect. I was stupid, that’s why I made such a mistake. Please give me another chance. I beg you…”
He didn’t say it at first, mainly due to his assumption of Bai Yan not daring to kill him for it, but also the reassurance of Ye Ying saying she would protect him after the incident. But now, there’s no longer that insurance.
Bai Chang Feng on the other hand hadn’t said a word since the truth came out; however, the old grandpa’s aura alone was enough to send those nearby shirking back in fear.
“It seems that over the years many of you have gotten the idea that I’m no longer in charge after not taking part in the daily functions of the Medicine Sect.” Still expression and unreadable, “Ignoring the fact that Bai Yan is my granddaughter, even if she is not, I would still not permit such a thing to happen while under my rule.”
Blood now completely leaves the kowtowing man’s face.
“Since you made the mistake then your own sect can deal with you. Guards, drag him away and hand him over to the Moon Slicer Sect!” Bai Chang Feng’s voice now grew mountainous, crushing the person’s spirit until he barely breath.
“Please, please, have mercy! I know my fault….” The kowtowing motion only increased in pace as he begged on the floor.
