Chapter 383 Their Regret” (1/2)

“Okay, let’s go home,” taking her son’s hand, Bai Yan raises a beautiful smile before leaving this uncomfortable place.

“Ahumph,” Zheng Qi (first elder) was the first to break the silence with his cough, “Yan Yan, you go ahead, we will come find you afterwards when we are done wrapping things up here.”

“Okay,” turning back to face his shifus, “I will be at the Lan House so you can find me there.”

……

With the departure of Bai Yan’s family – Di Cang included – the crowd once again broke out into an uproar.

There’s certainly some elations and surprises among the people, but more were regretting their past decisions right now. If only they knew Bai Yan’s identity then they never would’ve backed Lu Zifeng.

Sadly for them, their choices had been made and it cannot be retracted. Now, because of an expelled disciple of the Holy Land, they have directly offended the disciple of the three chief elders of the Holy Land. A total loss no matter how one weighs it!

“Queen Mother.” Awkwardly coming before his mother the Dowager, Nangong Yuan uses a whispering voice to plead: “Can you help me ask for forgiveness from Bai Yan? If we can purchase the Dan pills from her then surely our Liu Huo kingdom would grow exponentially in strength.”

Issuing out a disappointed smile at her son, the old queen could only shake her head in refusal: “I’m sure you are aware of the lass’s character by now. Pleading? My son, you must take responsibility for your own choices.”

“But…” Nangong Yuan (king) attempts to defend himself with an excuse, “I was afraid the Holy Land would turn their anger at the Liu Huo kingdom if I stepped in, that’s why I didn’t dare to testify. Queen Mother, you have always treated Lan Yue as your own daughter. Now that Bai Yan’s relationship is this good with you, I’m sure she would listen to you.”

This only made the old queen even more disappointed. Issuing out a helpless laugh, she closes her eyes in response: “Bai Yan already spared our Liu Huo kingdom because of me; otherwise, why do you think she didn’t do anything to the royal family? Now you also want me to go persuade her to sell us her Dan pills? My son, would you help someone that had wanted to put a knife in your back?”

Nangong Yuan’s face instantly went stiff at that last part because he wouldn’t. Dropping his head, he begins to go into a deep contemplation on his next move.
