Chapter 420 “Gatekeeper (1)”

“Miss Bai Yan, this here is Fairy City and the only way to the Misty Fairy House.” Flowing with people before their eyes, Wang Deqiu proudly introduces his home city.

“Mmm,” staring down at the bustling street, Bai Yan reveals a meaningful smile that somehow carried a strangeness to it. “I think Xiachen is getting tired, let’s go to your family’s home first so we can get some rest.”

“Yes, of course.”

Bellowing out a hearty laugh, the middle-aged man couldn’t ask for more. He’s long wanted to invite Bai Yan to stay at his home, just that he didn’t have the courage to ask. Now that the woman’s personally asking for it, how could he refuse?

Besides, letting my stupid son follow Xiachen around would help him learn a lot.

Puckering his lip to the side, Wang Xiaopeng apparently had a different opinion about coming back: “Actually Boss, I don’t want to go back to that Wang House. None of them likes me anyways. If not for my grandfather’s birthday, I wouldn’t even want to return.”

“My mother said that a person needs to be filial. You may not want to go back but that doesn’t mean you can hinder your father from doing so. Besides, my mother always said it, never cower before tyranny. If they bully you then bully them back.”

The voices of these two little ones may be small, but its more than enough to drift into the ears of the adults.

“Look at how sensible your friend Xiachen is compared to yourself. If you can be just as half as good as him then I can be at ease!” Shooting a daggering glare at his own brat, Wang Daqiu openly reprimands the poor chubby.

This really is that old saying of coming back to bite me in the ass: the child of other people is always better. If only this ignorant brat could just be a bit more sensible, then just maybe…. Maybe back then my old pops wouldn’t have kicked us out. No matter what Xiaopeng is still his grandson, how can a grandpa not care?

Exasperated with steam on his face, the chubby didn’t agree in the least. As such, he turns to his younger sister for support: “Xiaotong, do you recognize me?”

“I….” Shy and childish in her response, the little girl was truly adorable in her appearance, “I think whatever Brother Xiachen says is right.”

Choking for the longest time, the only thing Wang Xiaopang managed to spell out afterwards were a phrase that none had expected: “A woman is born to leave her family!”

“Ooomph,” coughing hard at his son’s outburst, Wang Deqiu didn’t forget to apologize to the guests after shooting a warning glare at the chubby. “Miss Bai Yan, my apologies for his ignorance, please don’t take it to heart. Anyways, it’s getting late already, let us head over to the Wang House first so we can all take a rest.”

Slightly nodding her head, Bai Yan pleasantly rubs her son’s head as confirmation: “Let’s go then.”

……

The Wang family have always been the number one House within Fairy City. For thousands of years, they’ve been the gatekeeper to the mega power behind this settlement; therefore, their status has and will continue to remain the same regardless of their personal strength.

Even so, nothing could remain stable forever, this clan was no different. Aside from its special status, the Wang family was but a shadow of its former glory nowadays.

Right now, due to the messengers running ahead of time, many of the members of this household was already standing in wait outside the estate. That’s why, when Bai Yan and her group arrived on scene, the first thing to come into their view was a gray-haired elder of serious expression.

“You are back.”

“Yes Father, your unfilial son is back.” Acting like a poorly disciplined puppy, Wang Deqiu lost all semblance of a stern character that he shows to his own children.

As for Wang Xiaopeng, the poor chubby could only hide behind his friend’s back due to how fearful he was of the old grandpa. But with his size, how could the kid possibly cover that huge body of his?

So, the elder only needed a glance to locate the brat.
