Chapter 921: Devastating!
The eyes of the five godsmiths immediately fell upon Bai Xiaofei.
It was impossible to say that Bai Xiaofei felt no pressure upon being stared at by the pillars of the puppetsmith world. After all, what he was going to do next would not be courteous.
“Ladies and gentlemen, what I’m going to say may offend you, so I hope for your forgiveness.” Bai Xiaofei cupped his hands apologetically before his expression abruptly grew solemn.
Seeing his change of expression, the five godsmiths tensed. They had a feeling that their deepest secrets were about to be uncovered.
And indeed…
“Senior Blossom, do you still remember Qiu Liang?”
Hearing this, the rest of the room gasped. How dare he mention this?!
Qiu Liang could be said to be a knot in Blossom’s heart. If it weren’t for this person, she might have become a godsmith much earlier. A person who loved her so much that in order to get her, killed the person she loved the most, and in the end, died at her hands.
With the passage of time, this matter had become a forbidden topic for those who knew Blossom: it must never be mentioned!
Otherwise, the anger of a godsmith was something that very few could afford!
“Take back your words and get out of here, and you may still be able to leave alive!”
Blossom’s reaction was exactly as everyone imagined, including Bai Xiaofei.
“Senior, if I were scared that I’d die, I wouldn’t be standing here saying such things. Even if you want to kill me, I still have to ask!” said Bai Xiaofei firmly as he looked Blossom in the eyes.
The staring contest lasted nearly twenty seconds and ended with a cold snort from Blossom.
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I am now Blossom and not that little girl of the past. That name has nothing to do with me anymore. My interest now is entirely on making puppets,” she said indifferently.
Except for Bai Xiaofei, everyone looked appalled.
What just happened?! Why did she answer it?!
“Thank you, senior.” Bai Xiaofei bowed to Blossom and shifted his eyes away from her.
Blossom snorted again but did not leave the room. She answered his question because she wanted to see whether he could find out who produced the human puppets. At that auction, two of her three disciples had died!
This was also why Bai Xiaofei had chosen her as the first to ask. He was betting that she’d cooperate for the sake of her disciples. Once the first person cooperated, the process would become much simpler!
As Bai Xiaofei’s eyes fell upon Nanmo Sheng, the latter felt his whole body tense. Everyone had their own past that they didn’t want to mention, and he was no exception.
“Senior Nanmo, when your son died in a faraway riot, you swore an eye for an eye from those who caused it. However, twenty years have passed and you still haven’t done anything. Don’t tell me you have forgotten your oath.”
As soon as Bai Xiaofei’s voice fell, Nanmo Sheng’s expression instantly grew ugly.
The rest no longer had the attitude of watching someone else’s bustle. Looking at the situation, it would be their turn soon.
“The rioters are all dead, so my revenge naturally was taken. Why, do you want me to whip their corpses?”
Nanmo Sheng’s tone was irritating, but Bai Xiaofei ignored it. After all, he was even ready to be beaten.
“But as far as I know, there is something strange about your son’s death. Don’t say you didn’t know about it,” he said, making Nanmo Sheng’s face turn beet red.
“You brat! If you continue like this, don’t blame this old man for being rude!” Nanmo Sheng smacked the table and stood up. It looked like Bai Xiaofei really wasn’t far away from being beaten.
However, Blossom opened her mouth to speak to the surprise of the room.
