Chapter 85: Past Matters
Upon hearing his sentence, Zhang Yu Xing[1] was stunned silly, and shouted out: “Teacher-Uncle, this can’t be, why are you going to such lengths?”
“Because I can!” Upon saying this, he gathered up some internal energy, and hollered out, “SCRAM!” [2]
Following his shout, gales started to tear through the courtyard, as though a hurricane was making its way across, making Zhang Yu Xing, a respected and dignified JinDan cultivator, was made to roll out of the courtyard, with an expression of surprise and shock plastered across his face. Just like how a b.u.t.terfly attempts to resist a gale by madly flapping its wings, he could muster no resistance against this act from the sect master.
The moment his toes left the courtyard, his feet was s.n.a.t.c.hed by the bodyguards of the sect master that were stationed outside and dragged towards the back of the mountain. No matter how the former wailed and begged, the disciples paid nary a heed to him, dragging him as though they were dragging a dead dog.
Seeing how the JinDan cultivator was manhandled by the Sect master, not only did Little Fatty take a sharp intake of breath, even the nearby Hong Ying’s face displayed a color change due to shock, clearly it was not often that she saw her father being angered to this current state.
Only when Zhang Yu Xing’s wailing had completely vanished, did the Sect Master’s livid face gradually ease up. He coldly commented: “This Daddy only went into closed-door cultivation for twenty years, and these sons of b*tches actually dare to lay a finger on my sect people; if I don’t step in and clear up this mess, people would actually think that I’m easy to bully! Hmph!”
Alright, forget about it, by killing a chicken to startle the monkeys, this could be considered as having vented your frustrations, no need to continue being worked up!” The First Lady[3] took this chance to quickly pacify him.
“Hmm, I understand, wife!” his voice turned abnormally gentle upon replying his wife, at the same time exhausting the flames of anger in his heart. Turning to Little Fatty, he jokingly commented with a strained expression: “Pudgy boy[4], I helped you to settle your grudges, you won’t blame me for doing that in the future right?”
“Of course, I wouldn’t dream of it!” Little Fatty was already on the verge of being frightened to death from the incident before, would he still suggest otherwise?
Looking at him, the Sect Master could not help but knit his brow, clearly, he was not too pleased with the act of cowardice Little Fatty was displaying. On the other hand, the First Lady smiled knowingly at him, saying: Child, do you still doubt our origin? That’s why you’re still afraid that Zhang Yu Xing and his bunch of rascals would look toward you for revenge?”
“This~” Little Fatty thoughts were totally seen through and exposed, leaving him speechless, unable to continue speaking.
“Silly child!” The First Lady benevolently smiled towards him, “Rest a.s.sured, in the future, with us husband and wife in the Mystical Sky Yard looking after you, there will not be anyone who would dare to harbor thoughts against you!”
“Many thanks to the Madam!” Seeing that the other party did not take offense, he breathed a sigh of relief, before curiously asking: “Madam, I’m not sure about this, but what relations.h.i.+p exists between my parents and you? Even when my parents were still alive, they never mentioned about you at all!”
“Ai! Those two foolish children, always putting on a strong front!” When the Sect Master heard this statement, he could not help but let out a sigh, before explaining: “Actually, I watched your father grow up, and his skills were all personally taught by me, although we were not master-disciple in name, but in reality, our relations.h.i.+p was more towards a father-son relations.h.i.+p!”
“Ah?!” When Little Fatty heard this, he was flabbergasted; never in his wildest imaginations did he think they had such a relations.h.i.+p!
The First Lady saw his jaw-dropping look, and, with an amused look, began reminiscing the past for his sake.
