Chapter 487 “Earth Shattering Triple Three (2)”
“Milord, the young master’s concern isn’t without merit. After all, those old fellas will only recognize the evidence. That’s why your son is going through the trouble of using the secret method to verify Miss Bai Yan’s identity.”
Putting on a taunting expression, Bai Chang Feng snarls at the poor man: “I am the Lord of the Medicine Sect, who dares to question me? If I recognize her then that’s enough!”
Against that stubbornness, Elder Gu could only shake his head wryly. Sect Leader have always been so clever and level-headed, yet he’s losing his cool at every turn whenever the matter concerns the girl.
“Milord, if you want to recognize her then of course no one would be able to object to your final say. But if you want her to take over the Medicine Sect, forgive me for saying this…. But I believe that would cause some problems in the future.” Shaking his head in a helpless fashion, Elder Gu then continues with his point: “I believe I don’t need to point out the consequences. How long do you believe you can shield the girl? One year? Two years? Or a decade? Sect Leader, without a proper recognition of her identity, those old fellas aren’t going to stand down once you are gone…. As for your son, I know he will eventually leave to seek his sister the Miss sooner or later.”
The last remark finally calmed the old grandpa’s heart down: “Yes, you are right, I was too cranky just now. Zhanpeng knows how much I care about this, that’s why he’s going through the extra effort for me.”
Generally ordinary people would use blood as a form of proof for one’s relationship between one another in this world, but when it comes to people at their level, they’re fully aware of such methods not being reliable.
On the contrary, behind every powerful force, there are always a mean to identify one’s lineage.
It’s just that this method requires a little price to be paid….
“I’m so happy your lordship understands the young master’s goodwill.” Easing up inside, Elder Gu could finally let go of his fear of this troublesome old sect leader going on a rampage.
“Yes, I get it so stop rubbing it in my face. Gu, you go help Zhanpeng with his ritual, I’m not so old yet that I can’t keep my patience.” Rubbing his chin then, Bai Chang Feng seems to have remembered something, “Oh yes, regarding the alchemy convention this time, you can just ignore it and leave it to the others.”
What is the alchemy convention compared to my granddaughter? That can move aside, I don’t care!
“Yes, Milord.” Cupping his hand, Elder Gu then retreated in a respectful manner.
But just as one person was done giving their message, another ignorant fool just had to come bother this old grandpa whose patience was already right up the edge.
“Sect Leader,” a guard hurries in to report, “something has happened during the alchemy convention.”
“Get out!” Bai Chang Feng roars, his eyes burning fire like he’s about to tear this poor person apart.
For that reason, the guard instantly went rock hard like he’s been petrified. Did I say something? Why is his lordship so mad like he’s about to erupt?
“Do not bother me with the alchemy convention!”
Nothing but a small little thing, how dare he come bother me? Doesn’t he know my granddaughter is the most important?
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
The guard bows like a bent chopstick, not daring to say anything else as he attempted to retreat. But before he could, Bai Chang Feng’s hollering voice had once again stopped him in his tracks.
“Wait!”
Turning around in haste: “Is there anything else Sect Leader?”
“I want to know,” furrowing his brow, Bai Chang Feng appears uncertain. “Among the people coming to attend the alchemy convention, is there someone that’s carrying an invitation slip from the Luo Huo Kingdom?”
The invitations issued for the alchemy convention are all imprinted with the symbol of said power or nation. For example, the first invitation Bai Yan used held the word “Holy” on the front, indicating the Holy Land. And since Bai Yan hailed from the Luo Huo Kingdom, this old grandfather naturally assumed she would carry the Luo Huo invite slip if that’s the case.
The guard became stunned by the question: “This, forgive me Sect Leader, I don’t know….”
That instantly earned a disappointed shake from the old senior, I must be getting too old, how silly of me.
“Go call the gatekeepers over here for me.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.” Cupping his hand, the guard complies in haste and ran for his life.
