Chapter 705 “Bai Yan’s Arrival (6)”
Just the thought of how obliviously close they were to losing their precious disciple again, the two elders would fall into a heart clenching grief. Had it not been for her luck then Yan’er would’ve been in the dragon’s belly….
Of course, Bai Yan on the other hand was feeling immeasurably guilty right now. It’s not like she‘s able to explain the truth to the two at this moment.
For one, she’s not so selfless to care for other’s death and ignore her own safety. The main reason for the jump that day was out of consideration for Dragony’s whereabout. Since she couldn’t find the little missy anywhere then the next best choice would to ask around with the same kin, maybe they might know something.
“Shifu, I would never regret saving others!” Bai Yan then shifts her gaze over to her precious dragoness, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to find her….”
Zhongnan was rather taken aback, Does Yan’er know this green dragon beforehand?
At this moment Ho Cui Cui’s face had turned ghastly white after hearing Silvery’s word. Her body shakes and wanted to flee the scene before it’s too late. Against the real deal, an imposter’s momentum would of course be weaker.
“Hoho!” Muzhen continues to snicker at the situation, “You and them are of the same group, why should I believe anything you say? If anything, I say the one lying is you.”
The rest of the elders exchanged various glances with each other. Its true. Compared with believing some dragon, they would rather believe their own kind.
Besides, they are involved in the rescue effort of pulling Ho Cui Cui out of the river. If it becomes true that the girl was a fake then wouldn’t it mean their efforts are invalid?
“Elder Muzhen,” biting her lip, Huan Yin decides to step forward. “The one who saved me is this lady who just showed up. I’m certain of this because I recognize her voice.”
Turning frosty in the eyes, the old beauty increases her intimidating aura: “What do you know child? How could this impudent brat be your savior? Don’t be fooled by their lies, Miss Ho is the real lady from that day so don’t it get wrong.”
“I said it, she’s my savior, what don’t you understand!” Huan Yin snaps, growing increasingly angrier by the moment.
“Go away child. For someone that can’t even recognize her own savior to come dictate what I do is ridiculous. Don’t bother me while I complete official business.”
“You…” trembling all over from rage, the poor girl never seen such shamelessness before that it’s leaving her speechless.
Bai Yan had known about Muzhen’s shamelessness from hearsay, but not to this extent. It’s obvious the old hag intends to make Ho Cui Cui be the imposter regardless of what everyone says.
Zhongnan (older) couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore: “This is truly a first for me. How could the one that’s been rescued mistake their savior. And you, for someone that’s not even involved, you actually got the nerve to say you can determine who’s who?”
“That’s of course,” Muzhen clicked her tongue, ignoring the strange looks coming her way. “Huan Yin is just a child, being blinded by those with devious schemes is normal. I, as an elder, have the duty to put her on the right path and not allow those with ill intent to deceive her. I’m sure her father would also thank me once he gets wind of what I did.”
“Big brother,” Zhongbei (younger) grinds his teeth, “it’s a waste to continue this talk! New and old hatred, it’s time we get revenge for our poor disciple that she murdered years ago!”
“Okay.” Zhongnan silently nods, agreeing with his younger brother’s view.
Today, even if we disregard the rules, we must kill this bitch to get even for our two disciples!
“Shifus.” Before the pair could make a move, the faint voice of Bai Yan’s voice had come out again: “This is not even the opening act yet, please wait. I promise you will get a good show if you are patient. Afterwards you can dispose of her as you please.”
Counting the time, that guy should be here by now….
Squinting her eyes until it’s like an eagle’s, Bai Yan shoots a bemused look over to Muzhen like she’s able to see through to the woman’s hidden secrets.
