92 Things Get Terribly Out of Hand (1/2)
The rebuke was surprising and shocking. The words used were extremely harsh to the ears and the tone was laced with recklessness. Anyone who had been humiliated publicly like this would surely feel like committing cold-blooded murder.
Who was it that was so arrogantly swearing out loud?
The entire Cirrus House experienced pin-drop silence at that moment.
Everyone knew something had happened, and curiously made their way to where the drama was unfolding.
”What is going on?”
”I have no idea! I heard it’s a young master from a noble family scolding someone.”
”Who is being scolded?”
”Again, I’ve heard that they are members of the crown prince’s residence and the great keeper of Plethora Gem Tower…”
”Oh, no. Have they started fighting yet?”
”Step aside, I’m going over to take a look!”
…
Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan both shuddered with suppressed rage.
Their eyes spewed fire and brimstone, staring daggers at Dong Tianleng with only one thought in their heads – Dismember this rascal into eight separate pieces!
Strangely, a strong sense of doubt rose in their hearts – What is going on? Why is this fellow behaving like a raving lunatic?
”Young Master Dong…” Yun Zuiyue was troubled. ”Don’t be angry, this is not a big deal… Besides, you don’t have to be infuriated over such a small matter.”
Dong Tianleng scoffed and said, ”Sister Yue, don’t mind me. Since you have called me your younger brother, nobody can force you to do something you’re reluctant to in front of me, no matter what it takes!”
Yun Zuiyue smiled humorlessly, ”But…”
”No buts!” Dong Tianleng waved his hand loftily and said, ”These people are spoiled. They think they have such high honor if I hadn’t spoken up. I must let them know that there are certain things that should never be done and some people who should never be bullied!”
”Young Master Dong!” Shui Yuehan’s expression hardened, his gaze piercing. ”I respect you as a member of the Dong Family, I only ask that you speak with respect as well!”
”Respect my ass!” Dong Tianleng was practically hopping with rage. ”You f*cking barged into my room and forced my sister to drink. Did you f*cking respect me then?”
”Your sister?”
Both Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan were stunned. They were agitated had not paid much attention to the earlier conversation. since when did Yun Zuiyue become Dong Tianleng’s sister? What had happened?
”Of course she’s my sister!” Dong Tianleng’s simmering anger rose to a boiling point again. ”What are you asking for? If she’s not my sister, could she be your grandmother?”
Both Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan were fuming, but at the same time, a thought sprouted in their minds – Could it be that Cirrus House was actually part of the Dong family’s many businesses? Perhaps the Dong family was overseeing the operations.
Was this possible?
”Dong Tianleng’s sister… is also our sister.”
Another voice cut in abruptly, throwing cold water on Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan’s raging emotions that were about to explode.
The crowd separated to allow two green-dressed youths to stroll in.
They wore green clothes, green robes, green hats, green belts, green scabbards, green shoes, and had a lush green bamboo shoot sticking out of their green hats!
The color of spring painted them from head to toe.
These two people were very skinny and tall. At first glance, they looked like two lush green bamboos sashaying in from the outside.
They were none other than Spring Family’s Chun Wanfeng and Summer Family’s Xia Bingchuan.
Both of them sauntered in and stood in front of Dong Tianleng, bringing their guards along; as one, they raised their heads, four eyes staring straight at Shui Yuehand and Fu Guansan. ”And what about it? Are you not happy?”
Shui Yuehan was utterly bewildered. What was going on today? Their plan was guaranteed to be smooth. What had happened to turn things around? Were these three popinjays not on their side?
After all, they were the ones who had kicked up a fuss. Why did they all decide to go mad today?
He knew the main problem laid with Dong Tianleng; Chun Wanfeng and Xia Bingchuan were only adding to Dong Tianleng’s confidence and dominant position!
Fu Guansan was already puffing with anger, his face turning yellow.
”So, this is Young Master Dong’s sister.”
Shui Yuehan quelled his anger as well, almost spewing blood on himself as he said, ”Then I’ve indeed crossed the line today.”
He was a man who adapted well to circumstances; he actually smiled and replied, ”My apologies then, I should not have done so today.”
Behind the crowd, Yun Yang’s voice came floating over, ”An apology is a great method to shirk responsibility. In the name of apology, you could come to the house every day, just like great keeper Fu Guansan. It just makes things official… what a great idea this is!”
He continued in a strange tone of voice, ”Otherwise, Keeper Fu didn’t even use to visit Cirrus House… Now he’s coming eight times a day. The pretext of apologizing is a useful one indeed.”
Yun Yang hid behind Dong Tianleng but his voice was mysteriously projected using the Endless Divine Art and ended coming out from behind Chun Wanfeng.
Shui Yuehan turned his head abruptly, glaring pits of fire at the two guards standing behind Chun Wanfeng.
The words were spoken with precision!
Looking at the party who had given in, Dong Tianleng was placated but the words had made him realize the truth immediately. His anger soared as he stepped forward. A crisp slap resounded across the room. His palm landed on Fu Guansan’s face as he continued to chastise the hapless man, ”F*cking hell, I finally understand why this ugly ogre comes to apologize every day. F*ck your grandfather, you businessmen are all cunning! You almost had me deceived!”
Fu Guansan was trembling with rage. He was unprepared and had not expected Dong Tianleng to actually use violence in the public. He took in the solid slap, infuriated to the brim.
”Do you come here every day to apologize with the same intention?” Dong Tianleng had planted himself in front of Shui Yuehan, a slap flying out.
However, Shui Yuehan had long been ready, how could he let himself be slapped? Besides, he was a concealed expert after all. Raising his right hand, he caught Dong Tianleng’s wrist and said coldly, ”Young Master Dong, do not go beyond the line. It does no good to anyone.”
