Chapter 124 - Zhuo Fan’s Wrath (2/2)
Vicious Pill King snickered at Zhuo Fan, making it obvious he was speaking to everyone present, “Chu Qingtian was once my disciple. To be honest, his alchemy skill was top-notch, but he was too blinded by pride, holding everyone beneath him. He was a helpless dreamer, believing he alone was enough to refine the antidote and cure Drifting Flowers Edifice. The results speak for itself. He is more of a fool than anybody else!”
Vicious Pill King walked away, pleased after seeing Chu Qingcheng clenching her fists, but still couldn’t help pouring more salt on the wound, “This is a world of men and wisdom. Fools and women that dare covet it will only get burnt!”
“Damn that Vicious Pill King!”
Long Jiu knew the ins and out of the situation and his lone eyes flickered in rage. He looked back at Chu Qingcheng to see her trembling in anger.
Long Jiu shook his head and whispered to Zhuo Fan, “Little brother, talk to Chuchu about the alliance between us three houses!”
“No need!”
Zhuo Fan’s eyes flickered with coldness and spoke, eyeing the departing group, “That is your matter. What I want is to make that insufferable guy know the true meaning of being a man!”
Long Jiu’s heart seized. He opened his mouth many times but Zhuo Fan’s unfeeling face stopped him. He never saw Zhuo Fan looking so scary before…
When Huangpu Qingyun’s group got back to Drifting Flowers Edifice’s guest rooms, the Vicious Pill King asked, “Second young master, why did you let them go? We were more than enough to deal with them!”
“Fool!”
Huangpu Qingyun berated, “Killing them is easy, but what then? It will incite war among the seven houses. Even if we win, we will have to pay a heavy price for it.”
“Second young master, why do you say that?” The others asked.
Huangpu Qingyun laughed mockingly and said, “Don’t forget, Tianyu holds not just the Seven Noble Houses, but the Four Pillars…”
His voice drifted off, but everyone was clear. So Regent Estate’s ambition was to reach such a height.
“In any case, Drifting Flowers Edifice is already close to fall. Don’t mind those cornered dogs. As for Veiled Dragon Pavilion and Sword Marquise Abode, humph, I am now certain they are opposing us. We would’ve had to deal with them sooner or later!”
“Brilliant, second young master!”
They all bowed, but each thought differently.
Pill King Hall had long surrendered, while Hell Valley was grinning at his enemy’s predicament. [Veiled Dragon Pavilion kicked an iron board this time.] As for Merry Woods’s Lin Zitian, he was an opportunist. Seeing others bowing, he did the same, to avoid trouble befalling on his head!
Meanwhile, Zhuo Fan walked out of Drifting Flowers Edifice’s guest room and sighed towards the sun.
Yesterday, he was caught up in his own delusion. He thought the world was made of just he and Chu Qingcheng, where the others mattered little. Today, he reentered the mortal world and shook his head out of regret.
[If not for Huangpu Qingyun’s disturbance, I would’ve still been with Chu Qingcheng in that quaint house as nothing but simple farmers.]
But even without yesterday’s event, he would have only one day until the Hundred Pill Meeting, where he had to put his plan in motion. His future didn’t lay in that quiet farmhouse.
[I am but a simple worker!] Zhuo Fan sighed at the sky,
A white figure suddenly landed, Chu Qingcheng. But before he could scream, she took him into the air.
“Come with me!”
An hour later, they landed in the slums again. But they weren’t the only ones there this time. There were the Dong siblings and Xiao Dandan.
Zhuo Fan was puzzled as to what it was about.
Chu Qingcheng giggled, “You visited Grandmother and my family. Now it’s only reasonable that I visit your parents, but it’s a way off and can only see your friends for now.”
Chu Qingcheng pulled Zhuo Fan and invited the others into a small run-down house.
Xiao Dandan was dumbstruck. [Why is Edifice Lord with him, here?] She accomplished her master’s order by bringing the Dong siblings here, where in fact they were meeting with Edifice Lord.
While she was dumbstruck, the Dong siblings were floored.
Meeting the evil Xiao Dandan first thing in the morning, they thought Drifting Flowers Edifice was about to settle the score with them and were on edge the whole way here. But seeing Edifice Lord holding hands with his brother, their whole world collapsed.
[Just how did Song Yu do it? How did a third rate clan young master end up with the leader of one of the Seven Noble Houses, Drifting Flowers Edifice? The number one beauty in Tianyu, Chu Qingcheng.]
“Sister, I often told you, you should’ve caught him first! Now, all hope is lost!” Dong Tianba stared at the couple, in a daze.
Dong Xiaowan lamented inside, not expecting this to happen, “How could I have known brother Song Yu and Drifting Flowers Edifice’s Lord would have become an item?”
While they were bitter, Xiao Dandan felt like crying. She finally found herself a worthy man only to have her boss become her love rival. What could she possibly do now?
The three were now more bitter than ever…
