Chapter 672 “Hypocritical Mu Leng (1)”
In this usually quiet estate, the eager voice of this womanizer was no different from an injection of adrenaline, sending all of the occupants inside to rush out in search of the commotion.
“What happened Xun Huan?” Jun Tian Yue (wife) asks her son after seeing that urgent demeanor.
“Mother,” he firmly grabs onto that arm, “hurry and go call everyone, just now my friend’s been dragged away by a dragon living under the Dragon River.”
WAH!
The group of elders who followed from behind the lady of the house were all aghast by the shocking news. Their faces were either showing incredulous or disbelief.
Dragon?
The Dragon River is really home to a dragon?
For a while there, everyone was exchanging silent looks because they knew there’s just no way for survival after being towed away for so long.
“Son,” the mother remains to be the calmest here and wanted some more details, “tell me what exactly happened first.”
Giving a slight nod in return, the womanizer knew he must do as told in this situation. Bit by bit, he went over the story of how Bai Yan cured Huan Yin’s condition, then of how she dived into the water despite the danger in order to save the two girls who were dragged under the water.
Jun Tian Yue and her husband Wu Wei were both quite shocked in the face afterwards. One for learning there’s such a selfless person under them, the second being the incredible ability the lady portrayed on the boat.
“You mean that lady really cured Huan Yin’s condition?” Chief Wu Wei asks with a tinge of anxiousness in his voice.
The man held a very clear picture of the lass’s physical condition so the fact that someone could cure her left a lot of questions to be answered.
“Yes Father, you must save her!”
Even at this point the womanizer still doesn’t know why he’s acting so heartbroken over the scene of Bai Yan being dragged into the bottom of the river. It’s definitely not love or adoration, that much he’s certain. So, what could this feeling be that’s constantly stinging at his heart?
“Okay,” the mother’s gaze looked grim, “I will have our people go search for the lady. Perhaps she might be alive still if we are quick.”
With the guarantee of the lady of the house, Xun Huan’s expression also lightened up: “Thank you Mother, as long as you can save her then I will be good in the future too!”
Making a helpless smile over her son’s promise, this mother didn’t know whether to be happy or sad that it took so long for her second son to reach this level maturity. Compared to her first son, Xun Huan definitely left a lot to be desired of.
“You go and rest first. If there’s any news then I will come inform you.”
Giving a nod at that, the man then turns away for his own room.
“Madam.”
The elders were dissatisfied with the rash promise and quickly objected: “The first master is already terminally ill. We don’t have time to waste on searching for some stranger. Please reconsider the decision.”
Growing heavy in the complexion, the woman got stern in the voice almost immediately: “This is my decision. No one is allowed to have any objection.”
“Chief!” The elders then shift their eyes over to Chief Wu Wei instead.
Coughing twice at the added attention, the chief knew he must take a side: “Everything is to be done according to my wife’s will.”
Since Wu Wei has spoken, the rest of the elders could do nothing but carry out the command. Arching their fist, they quickly retreated away.
“Are you trying to take a chance with that lady after hearing Xun Huan’s claim?” Alone now, the husband turns to his wife and asks inquisitively.
