Chapter 1009 Breaking into the Celestial Rank 3 ” (2/2)
Suddenly, the door got pushed open and in came an old lady using a crutch. Behind her were Lan Yu (son) and the rest of the family members, they’re afraid the grandmother would suffer some sort of accident from exploding in rage.

“Old man, what are you planning by driving us away? Don’t think you can stay behind on your own!” The old madam of this household has always been elegant and gentle by nature, for her show such anger was beyond fathom in the eyes of these children. It didn’t help either when she kept smacking the floor board with that clutch and looked like she might tip over from the loss of balance.
“Wife!” Old Lord Lan sounded hoarse and troubled in his voice, “You and the children need to leave with Lord Bai, don’t worry about me. Did you not hear what he said? Me and the rest of the household will head into the Abyss for refuge.”
The old madam huffs a grunt: “Of course I heard what he said, but what makes you so certain those enemies wouldn’t attack the Abyss? I don’t care, wherever you go, I go!”
That statement has left the old stubborn grandfather in a bind. He wants his wife and children to be safe, but he also couldn’t abandon the rest of the household to their own fate. Loyalty versus love for his family, the struggle here felt like its tearing the poor man apart.
“Please listen to me first Chief Lan,” said the increasingly concerned Medicine Lord. Making a cough, “I and the demon beasts living inside the Abyss forest are on somewhat familiar terms. Since you are so adamant about keeping your followers’ safety, I will personally make a request to them, asking the locals to offer shelter to your men and women. They will be safe, that you don’t need to fret.”
“There’s no lie?” Old Lord Lan still sounded skeptical.
Flashing with light in his eyes at the flicker of hope to change this stubborn old guy’s mind, Bai Chang Feng doubles down on the offer: “If you are willing to come with me to the Holy Island then I will keep that promise of course. If you are not willing…. Well, I’m sorry but I will have to take some drastic measures, don’t blame me afterwards.”
His argument sounded great and all, heck, it’s very tempting even for the average gentlemen. Sadly, there are risks involved regardless of how much sugar he added to those words. What if the Spirit Realm invaders decide to ignore the Holy Land and go slaughter the demon beasts in the Abyss for some unknown reason? So, even if he has to drag this stubborn old man along, Bai Chang Feng would do it regardless of the individual’s wish or will.
