95 Chapter 95 (1/2)
The evening brought the familiar breeze to everyone but the atmosphere in the place could not have been more hotter than the present.
There were people scattered all around and the echoes of discussion rang amidst little groupings and different affiliations.
Although this clan may have appeared united against any external forces that may threaten the sanctity of the family but that could not hold true in the moment where peace abounded in full.
In this kind of setting, competitions and differences were meant to happen.
”Did you hear the news earlier today? Elder Yan Kun was found dead in his room!”
”Stupid! Who could dare miss that with all the rumors that started since dawn!”
”Even a crippled mute man can tell that story completely without the use of his tongue and speech!”
”You fucking moron!” one group engaged hotly with another.
In the left corner, another topic of interest came into place.
”Did you hear the rush of buying salted fishes earlier?”
”Of course! With all the chaos it brought to us, how can anybody miss that?!”
”Even my family was tasked to personally confiscate those damned fished from the people.”
”I wonder why the 13 clans have so become chaotic in just the span of a single day.”
”FOOL! If you did not know how this all started, then let me at least educate your pea sized brains!”
”Really? Then why don't you tell us, oh learned master of old.”
”If that is your wish, i would gladly do so with finesse.”
”This all started with the arrival of Master Lu Chen. He is the sole and only cause for all this conflict to happen!”
”Yes, I heard that too! Didn't he kill Young Master, Yan Kang?”
”True, true. I saw the event happen right before my eyes!”
”Now that i think about it, should Master Lu Chen be also concerned about the untimely passing of...”
”Shhhhhhhh... do you want to lose your life here?”
”Master Lu Chen will become one of the Clan Elders from tonight onward.”
”You can only imagine how much power he shall wield in his hands and yet you go spitting your foul mouth with me around.”
”Go away from me, you dumb shit! I don't want to get mixed up with somebody as stupid as you are!”
”You...!” These active NPCs were all talking and were content to relate what they knew and what they didn't until a noble carriage arrived in front of the gates of Lu Family's mansion.
It did not take long for one woman and a man went out from the confines of the said archaic vehicle.
”That's Master Lu Chen!”
”Are you sure?!”
”Of course I'm sure!”
”And who is that woman I wonder?”
”What a beautiful lady!”
”Who could it be but Master Lu Chen's bitch!”
”If Master Lu Chen will get tired of her someday then I would be willing to buy her from him and taste also the hidden goods of this delectable woman!”
”Pigs.” Wan Fei whispered in disgust. Although she heard some of the lust filled words directed her way but she was not a fool to make drama in this event.
”You don't have to mind them, Wan Fei. They know not what they are doing. Better to forgive these fools simply because we know the truth of the matter, don't we?”
Clark pacified his partner for tonight and even threw some important meaning behind his words.
Alas, Wan Fei was not born yesterday and she was also not stupid to not notice the veiled intent of someone who she knew as both Clark and Lu Chen. A man with two identities.
Her eyes widened for a split second before she covered it entirely with pure acting skills alone.
If she was an actress at our bored gamer's home, then she would no doubt have won an Oscar Award right then and there.
”Yes, I guess that you're right, Clark. I shouldn't allow myself to stoop at their level.” Wan Fei replied as they tried very hard to control her breathing.
'Have i been discovered?' Wan Fei thought inside.
Although she assumed that Clark only had 5 maidservants and an aged slave around but that did not mean at all that they were the only ones in reality.
'Have i been followed by his men yesterday?' Wan Fei asked within and she concluded that it was very much understandable for this thing to occur.
'In this case, there is no need for any secrecy at all.' Wan Fei ended with this determination in mind.
”You can go home now so that you could rest early, Lai Peng.” Clark said to his good servant. Old Peng was the coachman of their carriage and as usual, he did his job quite remarkably for his age.
”Are you sure, master? I can wait here for your return.” Old Peng responded. He was used to being with Lu Chen that he feared that he was going to be obsolete and be left behind at some point or another.
This a very normal fear for anybody especially unto our good Old Peng because he basically already spent almost all of his life in the service of his one and only master, Lu Chen.
The bond between them was deep and unbreakable. One was a master while the other was a slave.
”It's alright, Lai Peng. I'm sure that the Patriarch will accommodate us just fine and there may even be a huge chance that we would be spending the night here.” Clark assured his faithful slave.
There was even a kind smile on his face to show how much he appreciated the loyal servant that journeyed along with him through the years of time.
Old Peng never gave up on Lu Chen through it all.
'Hehehe. If Lai Peng was only a woman, I would no doubt marry this guy in a heartbeat.' The smile on Clark's face grew even wider as he conjured this obnoxious thought and left it unspoken.
