Chapter 713 “A Good Play’s Opening (8)”
It’s not that Chief Wu Wei didn’t believe in Bai Chang Feng’s talent and ability, after all, its there for all to see. However, the fact that the old bastard gave his son the equivalent of a death sentence was an unacceptable acessement. What illness of the heart needs a cure for the heart? He’s a father, and as a father he would pursue any leads, regardless of how slim the chances are.
“You went to Bai Chang Feng’s place again? Did he promise to come?” Jun Tian Yue (wife) asks with a furrowed forehead.
The husband smiles bitterly at his wife’s question: “Yun Feng’s illness hasn’t been getting any better after all these years so I couldn’t bear it any longer and went to find that man. Though the Medicine Sect have been at odds with us but Bai Chang Feng didn’t reject my request for a meeting this time. I presume it’s because he found his granddaughter recently and is in a better mood. Anyways, let’s have the lady here look at our son first. Whatever happens, we will deal with the hurdles as it come.”
At this moment Bai Yan was stroking her chin in contemplation instead of listening to the couple. Grandfather’s here? Crap, I must get my hands on the Blood Vine now before Grandfather sees me, otherwise he would be dreadfully worried if he doesn’t find Xiachen around.
“I can go have a look at your son, but…” beaming a flash in her eyes, “I want a seed of the Blood Vine in your possession.”
Originally her plan was to go steal the actual Blood Vine from the main vault, however, this opportunity was even better.
“Okay, it’s a deal.” Elated inside, the madam readily pulls Bai Yan along towards their home, “Regardless of you being able to cure Yun Feng’s illness, I will still be grateful to you.”
In comparison though, the others present weren’t taking it so well and were exchanging looks between themselves. In their urgency, the elders all turned towards the chief for help. Unexpectedly, the man didn’t move and remained inactive like he’s giving the go-ahead.
How can the madam just hand out the Blood Vine’s seed, and the chief agreed so quickly too!
“Chief, Madam!” It was then a panicking voice cuts in from the rear, “The young master is acting up again! It’s very serious this time and he’s attacking anyone who gets too close!”
What?
Nearly fainting on the spot, the poor mother struggles to keep her balance due to those shaky legs. “Quick, we need to go back!”
“Let’s go!” The chief as well, his eyes were very urgent and hurried to support his wife. Together, arm in arm, the couple quickly headed for their home.
“Yan’er, let’s go and see too.”
Zhongnan sounded anxious as well, just that his worried state was less urgent due to the calm and fixated gaze of his student.
Perhaps this precious disciple of mine really can cure Yun Feng’s illness….
……
Inside the Misty Fairy House, the most majestic and magnificent structure had to be the main home of the chief and his wife.
As soon as she barged into the estate, the echoing cries of a painful man could be heard even from afar, that’s how much suffering the patient was going through. In hindsight, Bai Yan too felt a strange discomfort in her heart over that sound. It’s as if someone’s holding her heart and tightly ripping it around.
“Yan’er, what’s wrong?” Zhongnan (older) was the first notice the woman’s shortness of breath.
Bai Yan did not answer, only rushing forward towards the source like a single second might spell a fate she doesn’t want to see.
