Chapter 704 “Bai Yan’s Arrival (5)”
Compared with Zhongnan’s surprised face, Bai Yan’s look to Ho Cui Cui only seemed strange. Slowly, her lips had curved into a smirk.
“Haha!”
It was then Zhongbei’s (younger) hearty laugh came over from Muzhen’s back. Under the watchful eye of everyone, the old senior proudly stepped forward to side with his brother: “Muzhen, I’m afraid you won’t get your wish. Even if you all work together, me and my older brother won’t let you harm my disciple!”
The old beauty still wanted to chip in some more cynical words, but that’s changed the second she noticed the other side’s cultivation: “You broke through to the higher level?!”
These two bastards, they’ve both broke through?
“Mistress,” coughing at his attempt to speak, Silvery sways his huge body unsteadily, “I….”
“Take this medicine first.” Coming over, Bai Yan readily hands over a beady pill that’s able to heal up the guy’s injury at a visible speed.
Back over in the crowd, Huan Yin was listening to the conversation with careful ear. And for some reason, she’s got the aching feeling that its very familiar.
Why do I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere?
“Mistress, maybe I am too stupid but there is one thing I don’t understand,” says Silvery. “The third person we dragged into the water from that day is clearly you, yet this woman over there says it’s her instead.”
Goldy promptly shot a glare over to his twin brother: “What crap are you spouting now? When did Mistress get dragged down by us? She clearly jumped into the water on her own to save the other two.”
The crowd suddenly went quiet to the point where only the bristling sound of the wind remains….
Now Huan Yin’s got what she’s trying to catch at in the head. Flickering with light in the eyes, she stares intently over to the woman in red that’s now the center of attention.
“Outrageous!” Muzhen’s expression drastically changed, “Zhongnan, your disciple is very bold, how dare she pretend to be Huan Yin’s savior? If she’s her savior then does that mean I can say she instructed these two dragons to deliberately pull the girls into the water in order to save them?”
Goldy flew into a rage after hearing Muzhen’s twisted logic: “My mistress really jumped into the water in order to save the others. If not for Lady Tsing Yi interfering and stopped us before we ate her then she would’ve died along with the two females!”
Unlike Silvery who’s more on the naïve side, Goldy understood the situation better and wanted to push Bai Yan into the highest level.
But the truth?
They were cowering as soon as Bai Yan jumped into the water. That would not only make the situation spiral downwards, it would also make them brothers look bad in public as well.
“My mistress’s alchemic abilities are very good and she promised to heal Lady Tsing Yi’s injury. Since milady is willing to recognize her as the mistress then us brothers will also recognize her.”
This speech caused Huan Yin to produce trickles of tears.
What a good girl she is. Not only did she save me, she even gave the impersonator a chance!
Compared to the ordinary Ho Cui Cui who didn’t stand out in any way, she’s more willing to believe Bai Yan to be the one.
“Disciple!” Zhongnan’s heart sank at the notion, “Is it true?”
Twitching in the corner of her mouth, Bai Yan initially wanted to give the truth when Zhongbei’s scolding roar cut in: “You brat, are you seeking death or something? What does other’s life and death have to do with you? Now you almost got swallowed by a dragon! What if something happens to you for real? What will I and your first shifu do if you are gone?!”
