Chapter 1006: The Furious Baron Xingyi!

~9 min read 1,770 words

Ah!!!"

One wave after another, following the shrill scream, in the Bai family's backyard, high-pitched sopranos rose and fell one after another.

The timbres were mixed and different, like air raid sirens, resounding through the sky.

The clan elders in the room, who were in an awkward situation and worried about how to continue the topic, suddenly sprang up from their stools.

"What happened! Why is it so noisy?"

"To the north, it's the womenfolk of my Bai family!"

"Could it be that a treacherous person has trespassed into my Bai family's ancestral land! Quickly, quickly, Baha, Zhaer, you two go and see!"

"You two don't be idle either, go together, no, everyone go!"

"Yes!"

The young people behind the clan elders flashed and disappeared, and the clan elders grabbed the account books and quickly went out the door.

Bai Mingzhe's move truly caught everyone off guard, unexpected. For a time, they couldn't think of any countermeasures, so they took this opportunity to sound the retreat, think carefully, and fight again another day!

Backyard.

Second room's First Lady's room.

The maids were holding copper basins, in a mess. At first, they blamed the men for breaking in, but the people behind came one after another, all with extraordinary status. With so many, they couldn't care about who was at fault, just blocking the gate until the clan elders came forward and ordered the door to be opened.

Creak.

"Don't come in!"

The lady in the room stroked her face, terrified. The broken-voiced volume stopped the footsteps of the crowd hanging above the threshold. "What exactly is going on?" The clan elder questioned the maid.

The maid knelt on the ground in a panic, recalling what she had just seen.

The morning sun was just right.

In the polished silver mirror.

A sallow face, as if having eaten too much Huainan sugar orange, and without any luster, came into view. Making a few expressions, wrinkles bloomed on the corners of the eyes, forehead, and bridge of the nose. It was more than useless; it simply increased her age by dozens of years for no reason!

"What?" The clan elder frowned, turned his head to look at the confidants who had returned from other rooms. "Baha, Zhaer, what about the other courtyards? Is it the same reason?"

"Almost identical."

"How could this be?"

The maid was trembling with fear, her head buzzing, a blank space, unable to answer at all.

The clan elder frowned. Zhaer on the side questioned sternly: "You are the personal maid, the change started in the morning, you don't know what the lady ate or used recently?"

There was a clever one on the side, thoughts turning a hundred times, shouting out: "Jade Spring water, Moon Spring water! Clan elder, the steward said last night that there was a batch of Moon Spring water and Jade Spring water, and the ladies of each family agreed to use it to bathe together this morning. After bathing, it became like this!"

Jade Spring, Moon Spring?

Everyone was stunned.

"Not good!"

He Deban, who followed, was "shocked," and the clan elders also reacted immediately.

According to Bai Mingzhe's statement, among the apologies given to the Long clan, wasn't there Moon Spring water?

Everyone felt bad, their heads dizzy.

That guy was a fierce star!

Relentless!

Bad thing!

The clan elder's walking stick pounded the ground, and he ordered hastily: "Block all the monks from Moon Spring Temple who came to deliver goods! Do not let them leave the Bai family!

Baha, go immediately to invite alchemists and physicians to see if they can restore their original appearance. Zhaer, you go to inform the patriarch,

send someone to inform that the Moon Spring water cannot be used! What is your name?"

The maid was overjoyed: "The slave is called Xiaolan."

The clan elder nodded to his confidant and hurried away.

Baha took out a small ingot from his belt and threw it in front: "The elder's reward for you."

"Thank you elder! Thank you elder!"

In an instant.

The clan elders of each room who understood the situation filed out, not daring to have the slightest carelessness.

Bai Mingzhe didn't hesitate at all, ordering in his capacity as the Hantai Prefecture Master.

The monks staying in the Bai family guest rooms were sealed in their rooms, and several fast horses drove out of the clan land, fierce as the wind. The dust raised had not yet landed, and both people and horses disappeared without a trace.

Passersby were surprised and inexplicable.

What big thing happened again?

"Troubled times."

"Wuwuwu~"

A sob came from the room, like weeping and complaining.

The atmosphere was murderous.

Long Binglin and Long Yanrui had faces as heavy as water.

The two Dragon People were half a head taller than ordinary people, like door gods, sitting on the left and right upper seats of the hall, looking around. Everyone who made eye contact lowered their heads.

Mid-June, originally a bit sultry.

Everyone in the hall felt their hands and feet cold, swallowing saliva involuntarily.

Too late!

Came too late!

How did things get like this?

The Bai family steward who followed orders yesterday to deliver the treasures was muddled, knocking his head against the ground, sweat flowing from his temples, staining a large wet patch on the ground.

"Two lords, this matter, this matter—"

Long Yanrui directly scolded and interrupted: "Your Bai family, as heavy ministers of the border, acts like a villain. You can't defeat my brother-in-law head-on, so you use all kinds of underhanded means in secret. You call it an apology, but you mix poison in it. How else do you want to quibble?

If it weren't for Baron Xingyi having business at Blue Lake, we wouldn't have known. When we return, we will definitely demand justice!"

"My lords, you misunderstood." The steward's legs were soft, almost kneeling. "This act is absolutely not done by my Bai family. Think about it, doing this act clearly has disadvantages and no benefits. Besides, many ladies of my Bai family also used this item. If we really wanted to harm, how could—"

"Shut up! When things come to a head, how dare you push! Is this Moon Spring water sent by your Bai family? Are your Bai family ladies harmed by it?"

The steward trembled all over, wanting to speak but stopping, not daring to explain further under the Grandmaster's might.

Creak.

Master Huai Kong walked out of the room quickly.

Long Yanrui greeted him quickly: "Little Master, how is my sister?"

"It's not a big deal." Master Huai Kong pressed his palms together. "Eating more vegetables can alleviate it, and it will return to normal after half a month of normal metabolism. I used the Medicine Master Buddha, and it's already not a big hindrance."

The steward's expression relaxed.

He was entrusted with a difficult task and didn't know the situation. Hearing it wasn't serious, he understood that there was still room for relaxation, but the medicinal properties in this Moon Spring water were truly powerful.

"My lords, this matter is truly not done by my Bai family."

"You still dare to say it's not?"

Long Yanrui was about to flare up again, Long Binglin interrupted at the right time: "Yanrui, no need to be so impatient. I think this matter might be Moon Spring Temple plotting something."

Moon Spring Temple?

The stewards looked at each other.

Long Binglin turned his head: "A few days ago, there were monks from Moon Spring Temple who deliberately monitored us, not only peeking in secret,

but also scouting for information."

What?

There was such a thing?

The steward was shocked, but seeing a turning point, regardless of anything else, hurriedly pushed the waves: "My lords have sharp eyes,

although I don't know if it was done by Moon Spring Temple, I dare to ask a question: if this was really done by my Bai family, what is the purpose? It's just an item that can naturally recover in half a month. Using it to disgust your ladies, Baron Xingyi, what other effect does it have? If it's really just to disgust, why harm your own ladies?"

Long Yanrui was silent for a moment.

Seeing this, the steward struck while the iron was hot.

"I think Binglin's words are not unreasonable. Moon Spring water is a specialty of Moon Spring Temple. During this period, my Bai family personally escorted it, and no third person took over. And if they were the ones causing trouble, perhaps it was to intensify the conflict, wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!"

Long Yanrui's eyebrows tightened, falling into deep thought.

The steward let out a fierce sigh of relief.

There's a chance!

Wait, was it really done by Moon Spring Temple?

The steward thought more and more that the whole thing had—Moon Spring Temple really did monitor, as if it matched exactly what he said?

Inside room.

Long Eying lay horizontally on the bed reading a book.

Long Yao and Long Li's mouths curled up, really unable to hold back laughter. The crying sound was intermittent. Long Eying reached out and pinched the cheeks of the two, pulling down their curled-up mouths.

It would have been better not to pull; once pulled, the two girls couldn't hold back at all.

"Hahaha."

"Ugh, don't pinch, don't pinch—"

The two rolled on the bed and played.

A layer of water curtain covered it, blocking the laughter.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, stopped before people left?" Liang Qu scolded. "If it's exposed, I won't pay!"

Long Yao and Long Li stuck out their tongues, and together extended their hands: "Elder, the people outside have already buckled the pot,

where is there any exposure, where is the money!"

"Always dying for money." Liang Qu rolled his eyes, reached into his bosom, two large gold ingots for each.

"Elder and Sister Eying earn the big ones, we can't take the small ones?" Long Li giggled.

The discussion outside gradually stopped.

The steward temporarily calmed the situation, left the inn, and hurried back to the Bai family.

"What to do next?" Long Eying closed the book.

Liang Qu grinned: "Of course, the furious Baron Xingyi, pay a visit to Moon Spring Temple!"

Clang!

Gold and iron clashed, spears and halberds collided.

"No entry or exit!"

In the Bai family guest rooms, the monks under house arrest have no choice but to retreat to their rooms. Until this moment, they still don't know what's going on, hoping the Bai family can give a reasonable explanation.
