Chapter 696: Chapter 772 Gongsun Yudie’s Anger
Hearing what Gongsun Yudie said, Wang Hou was startled.
He took two steps forward, hastily saying, “Senior sister, you… you couldn’t possibly be thinking of killing our master, could you?”
Gongsun Yudie fell into silence.
After a long while, she finally shook her head and said, “Master has shown kindness as if he were my own parents. Naturally, I would not lay a hand on him. I only wish to protect the child in my womb.”
“Then I am relieved.”
Wang Hou breathed a sigh of relief and passed his Inner Strength to Gongsun Yudie.
After regaining so of her power, Gongsun Yudie stepped out of the cave on the back mountain, lifted the technique of distant sound transmission, and bellowed loudly, “Master, how could you be so heartless! The pain you’ve inflicted on today, Yudie will never forgive you in this lifeti!”
Thus, Gongsun Yudie yelled in the direction of the main hall of the Sky Sword Sect for over ten minutes.
Her voice was full of grief and indignation. The disciples unaware of the truth did not know why she was angry, but the sect elders who knew the circumstances all believed that Gongsun Yudie’s child had died, which was why she was so enraged.
In the words she had just spoken, Gongsun Yudie did not ntion her child, also out of consideration for the reputation of the sect.
After all, the Sky Sword Sect was her ho, and she was well aware that news of her pregnancy, if it spread, would certainly bring sha upon the sect.
The purpose of her actions today was to make the elders mistakenly believe that her child had been aborted, so they would no longer think of other ways to target her in the future.
Returning to the stone cave she had been residing in recently, Gongsun Yudie said, “Little Monkey, you can go back now, I am fine.”
“But I am still worried.”
Looking at her with concern, Wang Hou shook his head and said, “What if master discovers the truth and thinks of other ans later on?”
“I am facing the wall here to reflect on my wrongs,” explained Gongsun Yudie. “After today’s incident, it’s unlikely that master and the others would feel at ease coming to see . As for other people, except for you, I will not et with anyone, so it’s impossible for them to discover the truth.”
After a mont of silence, Wang Hou said, “There’s always an ‘if’ in everything. You were lucky this ti, but it may not be the case next ti. Tell where Chen Nan is, and I will find him.”
“No!”
Gongsun Yudie shook her head firmly, “If he learns about this, the Sky Sword Sect may never have peace again. You must not go looking for him.”
“Senior sister, why are you being so stubborn! Why don’t you leave the Sky Sword Sect and go find Chen Nan? As long as you stay in the Sky Sword Sect, you will always be in danger.”
“In life, I am a person of the Sky Sword Sect, and in death, I shall be its ghost.”
Gongsun Yudie shook her head firmly. She knew clearly that if she ran away to find Chen Nan, then the Sky Sword Sect would probably set their full force against him, leaving no room for reconciliation.
That situation was exactly what she didn’t want to see.
After another mont of silence, Gongsun Yudie said, “Just go back first, I need to ditate and practice Breathing Control for a while.”
Wang Hou sighed heavily and left the Stone Cave.
He clenched his fist, muttering under his breath, “Whether you like it or not, I must go down the mountain tonight to find Chen Nan. I heard he was around Ningjiang City before, if I ask around, I will surely be able to find him.”
…
At the Su family villa.
Dinner was already prepared, and the whole family was seated around the table, halfway through their al.
With a glass in hand, Dongfang Tianming took a gulp and said with a hint of drunkenness, “Yun Fei, Xiao Nan, as I see it, you can’t keep putting off your wedding. It has been quite a while since you’ve gotten your marriage certificate, right? Better to get the wedding done soon. It would put your mother’s and my mind at ease.”
Chen Nan poured a cup of wine, replying, “Dad, don’t rush, Yun Fei and I have already started planning. It’s just that nothing has been set in stone yet.”
“Just planning won’t cut it, ah, you two have been at it for almost half a year now, you need to settle it quickly. Your mom and I are still waiting to cradle our grandchild!”
“Yes, yes, yes, you’re absolutely right, Dad.”
Chen Nan nodded with a smile, picking up his glass and saying, “This is really good booze, Dad, here’s a toast to you.”
“What a drinker, with a son-in-law like you, this old man won’t have to worry about drinking alone in the future,” Dongfang Tianming said with satisfaction, tipping his head back to down a glass, and Chen Nan hurriedly refilled it for him.
However, after only a few words, Dongfang Tianming steered the conversation back to the wedding.
Before he could finish, Chen Nan grabbed his glass and said, “Co on, Dad, with such good wine, it’d be a pity not to drink more, let toast you again.”
“Sure, drink up!”
Dongfang Tianming guzzled another glass and said, “Xiao Nan, even though this wine is good, about your wedding…”
“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ve got everything under control. Here’s a new bottle opened; it’d be a waste not to drink it. Here’s to you again.”
“Brother, you really can hold your liquor, and just for that spirit, I’ll drink this glass.”
Hearing Dongfang Tianming call him ‘brother’, Chen Nan knew he was pretty much drunk, and stood up to pour more wine, saying, “Dad, your tolerance really amazes . After this glass, we still have three more, we’re not going ho unless we’re drunk tonight.”
“Great, that’s the spirit, I’ve made up my mind, you’re my brother.”
The two clinked glasses again.
Dongfang Yun Fei pinched Chen Nan hard on the leg, lowering her voice and said, “You damn jerk, stop toasting. If my dad gets drunk, I won’t let you off.”
“Dad, let’s have another glass.” After clinking another glass, Chen Nan turned to Dongfang Yun Fei and whispered, “Are you out of your mind? If I don’t get him drunk, he’ll keep asking about the wedding, how would you respond?”
Dongfang Yun Fei glared and said, “But you can’t just keep pouring him drinks like that, what if it hurts him?”
“Such long hair but so little sense, the thoughts of a simpleton!”
Chen Nan didn’t stop, instead he derided Dongfang Yun Fei even more.
After two more glasses of white liquor, Dongfang Tianming finally collapsed, drunk.
“Is it really that delicious?” Shi’er asked, puzzled, picked up a glass of the white liquor, and took a few sips.
Chen Nan asked with a smile, “How does it taste?”
“A bit spicy, but it’s really fragrant,”
Shi’er said cheerfully, pouring herself another glass and taking a few more sips.
“Shi’er, drink less.”
Chen Nan, noticing she was getting into it, quickly tried to stop her.
He was sowhat worried; this little fox spirit, if she got too drunk, might actually reveal a fox tail, couldn’t she? After all, in the ‘Investiture of the Gods’, that’s how Su Daji’s fox tail was exposed.
If she suddenly sprouted a tail, even though he’s seen it, Su Yixuan and the others would be frightened to death, wouldn’t they?
“It’s really fragrant, quite delicious.”
As Shi’er spoke, her cheeks were already flushed.
Clearly, alcohol had a much faster effect on a fox spirit’s body than on a human’s.
Chen Nan was about to snatch the bottle away from her, but at that mont, Dongfang Yun Fei suddenly jumped up, alard, pointing behind Shi’er and exclaid, “Shi’er, you…you have a tail behind you!?”
