Chapter 426: Stumbling into Trouble
Before he knew it, the kind looking Uncle Rong and both of his bodyguards had turned icy stares upon him. Sage was not expecting Dian Huifang to be so ineloquent. He also didnt think of how Huifang was going to explain the predicament to her family. Hed thought this wouldnt be an easy encounter, but it was already off to a terrible start.
Idiot! Why didnt I think of what to say earlier? I should have known someone like Huifang wouldnt have a good story to tell her clan. How am I supposed to explain my way out of this one without revealing my Inner World?
Sage took a physical step back, reducing the pressure of the three mens gazes. He wanted to bow down and show respect, but he feared that would make it seem even more like he was a thief, trying to steal away Huifang without following the proper procedure. It was already bad enough that what she said sounded like he was trying to take Huifang as a concubine, and he didnt want to make it even worse. Even so, he still had no good way to explain the situation in an acceptable manner.
If I tell them about my Inner World, then there wouldnt be any need for Dian Huifang to stay permanently. The only reason she cant leave is to keep the secret from spreading
The situation is not as you imagine it. Huifang is going to take up a very important duty, one that requires utter secrecy.
Sage threw out the best explanation he could come up with off the top of his head. Only, who was he to put such a powerful member of the Dian Clan into such a situation? Why would they let a completely unknown stranger take away their clan member temporarily, let along permanently?
Uncle Rongs eyebrows arched with anger and the strength of his aura increased once again, What makes you think thats better!? At least if this was some misguided romance then a fickle heart could be to blame!
At least there arent any lawyers.
After a few tense moments of silence, one of the people on the chairs, an older gentleman with a blue scaled breastplate on, finally spoke, We are the Elders Council of the Dian Clan. Dian Huifang has told us she has been sworn to secrecy and will be leaving forever. Just who are you to think that you can steal away our Clan members without our say?
My name is Lang Sheng. Founder of the Jade Horde and Co-owner of the Palace of Prosperity. These organizations mean little to you now, but in the future you will know them. As for Dian Huifang, I am not stealing her away. It is her own desire to take a position of great importance, but unfortunately that position requires utter secrecy. Theres no telling how long she will be gone, hence it is safer to consider it permanent.
Dian Rong seemed sad as he listened to Sage. On the other hand, the other five Elders seemed quite livid. The explanation was just as vague and unsatisfying as the ones that Huifang had given them.
Is that so? Just what group thinks they are strong enough to treat the Dian Clan in such a way? Do you think they can stop us from killing you and forbidding Huifang from leaving the Clan? You dare to be so bold as to walk into our territory and declare that we arent important enough to know anything about this?
Death threats already? Well, at least it cant get much worse.
At that moment, the doors to the chamber were thrown open and a squad of guards rushed into the room. Sage was ready to defend himself, but they just walked right past him like he wasnt even there. The lead guard cupped one fist with a palm and dropped to a knee, Elders! Xuelong has been poisoned!The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
