Chapter 770 “Dragony’s Whereabout (4)”
By the time Di Xiao Wan and Bai Xiachen returned from their little outing, the hour was already late into the evening. So, out of curiosity and worry, Chief Wu Wei had decided to ask the guard he sent along for the details. “Did any trouble cross Miss Xiao Wan’s path today?”
Wiping some of the cold sweat from his forehead, the guard makes a wry smile as if that’s the most ridiculous question ever. Trouble for the lady? More like she’s making trouble for others!
“What’s the matter? Why are you not answering? Did someone cause them harm?” Seeing no reply came, the chief demands an answer.
“It’s like this Chief. Today Miss Xiao Wan she… she crippled the young master from the Lin clan…” The guard’s body was shaking just thinking back to the gruesome image of today’s event.
Frowning: “What do you mean by that? Explain!”
“Because of a few teasing words to the lady, she slapped the young man across the face and sent him flying. Now the teen couldn’t even speak as a result of the injury.”
“She’s that fierce?” Startled by the news, Chief Wu Wei didn’t expect this of the girl. In his view, the young lady should be a well-heaving young lady with a lovely appearance, who could’ve thought her methods are even more direct and cruel?
“And then… the Lin family retaliated after learning of the teen’s injury. They sent countless masters to get even with Miss Xiao Wan, but the results were… Chief, she actually uprooted the entire Lin family by herself! I don’t mean she just gave them a beating. She actually uprooted their entire estate and now there’s only a giant pit in where their mansion should be!”
This lady is clearly not the type to be messed with, why did the chief even send me to follower her around? The guard’s almost crying by this point.
“More importantly, this lady is a trouble magnet. Not only did she uproot the Lin family’s home, she also dropped a warning after the deed, stating Miss Bai Yan’s her sister-in-law. If anyone comes seeking trouble, she will go back and protest for revenge. Now the entire Misty Fairy House is in an uproar. They all fear the girl and would flee at first sight…..”
Gasping, Chief Wu Wei almost fell to the floor when he stumbled backwards. Holding his chest like his heart’s about to bleed: “Slow down first. What you’re telling me is that the reputation of our main house is ruined, is that what you mean?”
It’s one thing to uproot the Lin family, after all, it was their side who provoked the girl first with the teasing comments. But to throw that last statement out there!
Isn’t that the same as making trouble for us?
Seeing the chief was this frightened already after his report, the guard figured he’s safer if he avoided detailing about the next incidents that followed afterwards. Changing the topic for his own benefit: “Chief, I believe the lady is in no need of protection, so….”
“Right, you don’t have to follow them anymore starting today.” Shaking his head with a wry smile, “In the Misty Fairy House, it’s unlikely anyone is capable of harming the girl at all. If you continue to follow her then it might turn into her protecting you. Forget it, you can go back to your regular work.” Waving his hand, the chief dismisses the subordinate.
Bowing his head in great relief, the guard was just about to leave when he was stopped. “Wait, where exactly is Miss Xiao Wan and my great-grandson right now?”
“They went to the young lady’s and sir’s room. Should I go stop them?”
Because of Yun Feng’s order earlier today of not letting anyone get near the bed chamber, the guard wanted to get explicit permission before doing so. It’s not the man getting paranoid or anything, but rather there’s a example to follow. Huan Yin already came earlier to seek an audience from Bai Yan in order to show her gratitude for the debt of curing her body’s ailment. Sadly, the hopeless lass was turned away using that reasoning.
