578 Prep for Slap 1 (1/2)

The admonishment delivered in a voice filled with such anguish drove an undeniable thought into the minds of the masses that churned in an endless spiral.

Everyone knew that only Fan Zhuo was Fan Qi's biological son, while Fan Jin, although possessing great skills and had an upright character, was after all still just adopted, and was not of the same blood!

That difference in their relations made a malicious thought begin to worm into the minds of quite a number of the other disciples.

Jun Xie name had been despised and spat upon endlessly but Fan Jin had still persisted in defending him and had even brought him to stay within the bamboo grove that had been reserved for Fan Zhuo's recuperation. Could there be….. an unspeakable truth behind the reason for Fan Jin's actions?

In moments, that line of thought blossomed within the minds of the disciples of the Zephyr Academy and Fan Jin's stellar reputation took a beating like never before.

All of it, was unknown to Fan Jin. He had strode into the bamboo grove angrily but stopped in his tracks in the yard. He was worried that his furious expression might alarm Jun Wu Xie and Fan Zhuo and he stood there a long while before he decided to go in.

In the room, he found Fan Zhuo alone.

”Big Brother, you're here.” Fan Zhuo greeted his brother jovially.

Fan Jin nodded and after making sure his emotions were composed, he asked: ”Where is Little Xie?”

”Out.” Fan Zhuo was carrying Lord Meh Meh in his arms and was smiling contentedly as he replied, his fingers running gently over Lord Meh Meh's soft little belly.

Lord Meh Meh sighed softly, as if reluctantly accepting Fan Zhuo's caress.

Fan Jin paused a moment.

”Out? When did she go out?” At a time like this, if she were to meet the disciples of the Zephyr Academy, things might turn out badly.

”From quite a while ago. Big Brother, don't worry. Sit down and have some tea to rest first.” Fan Zhuo said, pushing a cup of tea before Fan Jin.

Fan Jin gritted his teeth. Since he did not know where Jun Wu Xie had gone to, he could only sit down to wait.

As Fan Jin was still feeling endlessly antsy at the bamboo grove, Jun Wu Xie was already grandly seated in Gu Li Sheng's office.
