86 Complications (1/2)
Kang Longwei after he dispensed with Sun Qiang used his qinggong to fly to where Sun Gu was picking medicinal herbs. Although he deduced he was the one to create the whirlpool in the hot spring he decided he would punish him at another time, right now he wanted information about Sun Qiang.
Sun Gu knew Kang Longwei would arrive at some point,but still he began to sweat when he was approaching. Luckily, he had organized his ideas on how he would handle the accusation. He cups his hands and bows, ”Kang Longwei were you enjoying the hot spring? ”
”Who is Sun Qiang?”
”Who?” This wasn't the first question he anticipated from Kang Longwei.
”Sun Qiang?”
”Are you having a problem with your hearing?” Kang Longwei wants to kick this feminine looking man but restrains himself.
”Crown Prince, I don't know a Sun Qiang in our branch of the family.”
”Useless!”
Sun Gu clutches onto his basket of medicinal herbs, he can see the anger rising in Kang Longwei, his amber eyes are darkening. ”Why don't you find Sun Jing, he knows everyone in all the branches.”
Kang Longwei kicks the basket of herbs, they scatter in the wind. All Sun Gu can do is watch as the expensive ingredients he had just gathered are ruined, he stands there with his mouth agape.
”Don't tell anyone you saw me, understand!” He lifts Sun Gu up by his collar, {this man is as flimsy as a piece of paper still. He should stop looking in the mirror and practice some martial arts}. He drops him to the ground.
”I won't breathe a word.”{he is still as crazy as ever!}
”Meet me back here with ten million gold banknotes, throw in some spirit stones and some silver, in an hour.”
”What? How am I going to get that much money in an hour!”{Money is bad enough but not my spirit stones!}
”Well the alternative is you die for creating that whirlpool.”
Sun Gu's pretty face turns white as a sheet, that is all of his savings! If he goes to the family treasury he will be discovered at this time of day. How would he explain the sudden urgency. Damn that little wench! If she didn't come to the hot spring he wouldn't have come up with the idea to scare her. How did he know Kang Longwei was there.
”You should hurry.”
”I will take my leave then”, he bows shaking like a leaf.
”One hour! You lose a finger for every minute you are late!”
Sun Gu hears the last remark as he is leaving and shudders, why did that maniac come back!
Kang Longwei wants to know about that bastard Sun Qiang but there isn't anyone who he could readily ask except that moron Sun Gu. If he involves Sun Jing he won't be able to sneak away, he will alert his father.
Dammit, he planned on getting the information from that idiot Sun Gu. He will just go to the Sky Angel Inn to wait for Xiaolian, he can sort out that insolent man later. He laughs at the way Sun Qiang started trouble as soon as she was gone, it felt good to exercise his muscles again kicking his ass. Unfortunately, he had to hold back so as not to injure him too severely.
Xiaolian meanwhile is thinking how she is going to bring up the topic of Kang Longwei. Sun Qiang can be explained but Kang Longwei?
”Xiaolian there isn't much time before we leave, I need you to explain the events on Soaring Cloud Continent. How can I leave you at the Butterfly Wing Residence with an unknown man?”
”You could take me to the Capitol with you!”
”...”
Wang Li Jie wants to kick something. His head is pounding, why couldn't she have just gone into cultivation, passed through the Soaring Sky Stage, then returned by herself. This excess baggage is presenting a big problem. He has formed a plan for the servants she wants to take with her, but how is this man going to fit into it. Impossible! Yun Tai and Feng Tian are not that easy to fool. Also, he doesn't like this man, he is too handsome and arrogant! The thought of him being around Xiaolian is making his blood boil, how did she agree to help him. She is too naive and gullible!
”What's wrong Li Jie?” She notices his face is getting darker by the minute. How can she explain by being nosy all this came about, the monk never would have transformed the beast if she hadn't interfered.
”Before Sun Qiang returns I have one other matter to tell you about.” She is getting nervous, twisting her dress into a knot. He is going to get mad, I know it.
”What?” He looks at her face scrunched up the way she looks when she has done something wrong. It is cute yet infuriating. She always twists her dress into a knot with her tiny hands. Ever since she was young she would take in stray animals and pathetic people. She is too kind hearted, always willing to help if someone tells her a sad story. He can't count the times she has been taken advantage of when he wasn't around. He thought she had grown up!
”Well, I also met someone else I said could accompany us.”
He stands up forcefully kicks over the stone table smashing it into dust. His eyes are so dark they look like deep purple amethyst spirit stones.
”NO!”
Xiaolian seldom sees this side of him and is frightened. Her crystal blue eyes open wide and she gasps, this is bad..very bad..!
