Chapter 1542 “The Wen Clan’s Here (1)”
“Little Young Master, this matter, it’s not that I can’t say….” Frowning in the face, Tian Wind spent a moment to go over his own words to not let anything that he didn’t want spoken to slip, “It’s like this. At the beginning, the reason we destroyed the Bai Clan was because we got word of that family holding a treasure that could help one gain divinity. We wanted to offer it up to your father as a gift. Sadly, after gaining possession of it, there was no way to know how to use said treasure, hence our reluctance to bring it forward.
Those are nice words indeed, however, Tian Wind never once thought about giving it to Di Cang at all in fact. After all, who wouldn’t want to become a G.o.d or celestial immortal if possible? But as years dragged on with no sign of them ever figuring out the secret to said item, he figured its better to use it now today as a gift to win some points with the Water Clan. At least that way he would curry some favors.
Sadly for this man though, Bai Xiachen wasn’t going to go along with his plan. The boy’s face remains unchanged without any sign of being ecstatic after being told the lie.
“So, it’s for some treasure that you destroyed the Bai Clan?” Bai Xiachen asks again, his eyes starting to narrow in.
Taken aback at first, Tian Wind had to take a good second to understand the boy’s words. Hastening to laugh in order to break the tension: “Little Young Master, you don’t have to worry about the Bai Clan’s demise, no one will know about the connection between the Tian Clan and the Water Clan. There won’t be any unwanted rumors floating around, I can promise you that.”
“Oh?” p.r.i.c.king his brow at the odd reply, Bai Xiachen now got somewhat curious at what the man meant, “And what would that connection be? How come I don’t know?”
Still not following, the man continues to speak without much forethought, “The housekeeper in the Water Clan is my brother-in-law.”
“I see…” Bai Xiachen nods his head like he’s understanding it now. Then turning to the big bodyguard nearby, “Big Bear, go tell my father to change the housekeeper, we don’t need such a person working under us!”
Baddie Father really messed up this time. He’s been here for eight years and doesn’t even realize Mother’s enemy is actually right under his nose. I wonder what Mother will do to him if I tell her about this blunder. Will Baddie Father be shown the whip?
Tian Wind’s expression promptly crumbled into a look of horror and shock, “Little Young Master… is there a misunderstanding between us? My Brother-in-law has been working faithfully under the Water Clan’s rule, how can you dismiss him so readily?”
Grinning right up to his eyes at being called out, Bai Xiachen knew it’s his time to play, “That’s easy, I don’t like the guy and that makes me unhappy.”
What other reason would I need? If I don’t like an individual then its only normal for me to change them out, duh?
As for the debt with these people from the Tian Clan… I’ll wait till Mother gets here and let her do the final decision making. I’m sure Mother will be very pleased…. Though Baddie Father did say not to let Mother dirty her hands, but I’m sure she will like to anyways!
“Dad!”
Tian Furen’s complexion hadn’t look good to begin with, now after hearing the steambun’s words her face only got uglier as she stomped her feet.
What’s so great about this little thing? All he did is be born into a good life. If his mother didn’t go seduce a sick b.a.s.t.a.r.d that’s about to kick the bucket, why else would he be born? And now he dares to threaten Uncle’s livelihood and status? That young lord from the Water Clan can’t be this stupid, I refuse to believe such a thing!
