Chapter 842 - Be the Judge (6)

Chapter 842 “Be the Judge (6)”
Bai Yan could already guess the answer after seeing their faces. For that, guilt was all she had to feel for the situation because she owes that man way too much and couldn’t return any of those feelings….
“Let us go,” Zheng Qi (first) pats her shoulder with a bittersweet smile. “Although we are eager to have you accept the young lord’s feeling, but we also know love cannot be forced. Regardless of what you choose, us three will always support you.”
“Shifu…” Overflowing with warmth in the heart, Bai Yan makes a genuine smile at their support: “You three will always be my shifu too, now and forever.”
“Hahaha!” Zheng Qi laughs aloud: “What more can we ask for when you’re going that far? Come, we will go see the Lord. He was just mentioning you not long ago, saying he’s wondering when you will come back to see him!”
……
inside a room, the table here was a total mess while Chu Yi Yi continued to nibble on the chicken leg in her hand. Due to this act, her mouth has become covered in fatty oil while the handsome middle-aged man across the table eyed her consciously with a pang of drunkenness in the face.
“Pa, did you call for Bai Yan to come back yet?” Casually tossing the half-eaten bone to the floor, the young girl locks onto the wine bottle in her old man’s protective hand.
Not missing this thieving look in his own daughter’s face, Lord Chu Ran directly sends a knock on the girl’s head with his knuckle and covered up the lid with a cork to stop any chances of a theft.
“This is something Zheng Qi (first) spent a lot of effort to get me. I have already given you a sip earlier, don’t even think about stealing the rest from your pa.” Shooting a warning look, Chu Ran’s face told the lass that he will knock her again if those oily fingers so much as moved an inch closer. “Also, Bai Yan should be coming back within the next few days according to the elder’s word.”
“Oh?” Chu Yi Yi’s petite face promptly bloomed a shining grin as her eyes lit up: “That’s wonderful! I have to write a letter to Brother so he knows when to come back.”
Although Ba Yan has already accepted Di Cang to be her partner, but this troublemaker knows her older brother only needs a glance to be satisfied. Therefore, a sister must do what a sister should, and that’s making opportunities whenever possible!
When Chu Ran was about to comment some more, an old attendant had hurried through the door and interrupted their conversation. Cupping his fist, the senior spoke: “Lord, Princess, Elder Zheng Qi and Miss Bai Yan is here.”
Though everyone in the public was now aware of Zheng Qi and his two brothers taking in a disciple after Bai Chang Feng’s birthday at the Medicine Sect, that still doesn’t mean they know who exactly this individual was. For this personal attendant of Lord Chu Ran though, the master of the Holy Land, he’s one of the few who’s truly privy to this secret long before everyone else.
“What? She’s back? So fast?” Lord Chu Ran jerks up from his seat in a panic. In response to the mess on the table, this man quickly cleared it out with a wave of his sleeve and stuffed everything into the storage bag. Following that he also brought out a clean robe to drape over his dirty clothes to cover up the stains, all the while not forgetting to take a pill to remove the drunkenness from his face.
Chu Yi Yi on the other hand was not as clever as her old pa there. Completely unable to react to this quick movement, she was still covered in food oil and her clothes were filthy dirty like it’s been run through a dumpster.
“Did you forget she has a phobia for cleanliness!” Seeing the dull look on his own daughter, Chu Ran reminds the girl with that whispering comment to urge her to move it. Sadly, it was already too late….
Just as Chu Yi Yi was about to get up from the table, Bai Yan and Zheng Qi had just so happen to walk through the doorway. First thing they saw was the disgusting picture of the girl’s rancid appearance.
Furrowing her brow, Bai Yan spoke first: “Yi Yi, it’s not enough that you’ve polluted your own room, now you’re also defiling the Lord’s room?” Giving the air a sniff around the girl’s body as well, her mouth inexplicably lowers into a frown, “Did you drink? Have you already forgotten the last time you got drunk? You almost burned down my Holy Island.”
“No, it’s not like this, it’s my pa….” Now the poor lass didn’t even get to cry foul because she’s been caught red-handed. Also, it’s not like Chu Ran was just going to stand on one side to let his daughter drag him into this hot mess either!
