Chapter 1114 "Bandit Di Cang (4)"
Tightly clenching the amulet around her neck: "Please be a.s.sured, since I am destined to ascend to that position then no danger will come my way."
“You go then." Keeper Ling relents by waving his hand.
Since she has gotten what she wanted, Yun Ruo Xi promptly paid her respect and bid farewell to these rulers of the Celestial Realm.
Looking at the direction of her departure, a faint smile gradually comes out of the most arrogant of the bunch: “That wretched la.s.s at least did one thing right back then and that is to bring Ruo Xi to us. Oh right, how is that crazy old coot doing?"
“This….”
The group exchanged various looks among themselves, unsure how to answer Keeper Ling"s question. In the end it was Keeper Zun (ashen robe) who sighed to break the silence.
“As usual, he"s still as crazy as ever since Bai la.s.sie was destroyed by us in both soul and body. He cared for the girl the most so it hit him the hardest."
“Humph!" Keeper Ling huffs a snort, "How dare he lose his sanity after all he"s done? If it wasn"t for him bringing that wretched la.s.s to the Celestial Palace, would the Celestial Lord become like so?"
He definitely held a grudge against the mentioned crazy old coot for what happened in the past. Not only did the guy not support their endeavor in slaying Bai Yan"s former incarnation, he also tried to stop them!
“Enough, let"s stop talking about him and continue our cultivation," a green robed Keeper suggests to his peers while getting up to leave.
Since one of them was intent on going then the others weren"t going to linger around either. Very soon, all the others were getting up to disperse as well.
It’s just that….
Right as they were out the door, the group were stopped by the mentioned crazy old man that was rus.h.i.+ng over to their location.
This individual wore similar clothes that"s shaded white instead, but unlike them, this crazy old man had straws sticking out of his white hair that showed his sanity wasn"t right.
“Bai Bai, where are you? Don’t hide from Grandpa, I see you!” b.u.mping over in an erratic fas.h.i.+on, the crazy old coot eventually stopped after hitting Keeper Ling on the side. Immediately, his eyes lit up. “Bai Bai, I finally caught you, this time you can"t hide from me. Little Bai Bai, do you know why I named you Bai Bai? It"s because you were so adorably white as a kid, that"s why I named you Bai Bai."
Note: Bai is the word white depending on how you use it in a sentence.
That does it for Keeper Ling. Going from green to white, then from white to green, the usually arrogant senior snaps and forcefully pushed the crazy old coot away: "I am not your Bai Bai, get a good look!"
Stumbling backwards from the shove, the poor fella that"s being alienated turns into a daze like he"s seeing something from the past: "My Bai Bai, where my little Bai Bai? Woowhooo, where is my good granddaughter?"
Extremely unsightly in the face now, Keeper Ling didn"t want to hear anymore: "Nothing but a little beggar that you picked up off the streets, how can you even think of her as your granddaughter? She"s not even born of your son! d.a.m.n it, if you want to be crazy then go do it somewhere else! It"s all your fault that everything is like this now!"
As someone that has a screw loose in the head, the crazy old coot clearly didn"t hear a single thing there. Instead of arguing, the poor fella simply ran for the exit to leave the palace in search of his missing granddaughter.
“I’m going to find my good granddaughter, where are you my good granddaughter?”
Trembling all over from rage at this point, Keeper Ling wanted to explode but couldn"t out of his own pride. He"s the sane one here so he"s not going to stoop to the level of someone that"s not right in the head.
“Hey, nothing will happen if we let him run off like that right?" Keeper Zun (ashen robe) comments from one side after seeing his former companion"s deteriorated state. No matter what, they were once considered brothers so his heart still ached for the poor fella.
“If he wants to find her then let him go look. Regardless, that girl no longer exists so even if he turns the Celestial Realm upside down, he will still not see her!"
Making a heavy flick of his sleeve, Keeper Ling did not want to spare another glance in the general direction of where the old coot went and turned for the back mountain.
Likewise, several of the other Keepers also sighed and shook their heads in disappointment before turning for their own rooms. They may have chosen to side with Keeper Ling but they also lamented the fact that the once strongest of their bunch has regressed to the level of becoming the weakest. Fate sure likes to play tricks on the living….
