Chapter 550: Chapter 551: The Rumored Incompetent Teammate
The priest of Upper Beast City, Luo Bu, also quietly consoled, "Yes, madam, don’t worry, surely the White Tiger Clan Leader is reasonable. We can ask him if Ali has offended him in any way. If so, we can have Ali apologize, the White Tiger Clan leader shouldn’t hold a grudge against Ali."
Ru Hua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She looked at Luo Bu, then at Keli, and gave a trembling nod.
"Well, let’s hope that works..."
The three of them stood at the city gate, craning their necks expectantly, and finally saw distant figures approaching.
...
Gaiyin walked at the forefront, arm in arm with Su Tang, his face expressionless.
With a forced smile, Keli stepped forward to greet them. "We are honored by the White Tiger Clan Leader’s visit. May we ask the reason for this visit?"
Su Tang raised her eyebrows in surprise, thinking to herself that it’s no wonder Keli was the city master of Upper Beast City - he was truly cultured!
However, no matter how cultured, he was still a beast in human skin - he could even kill his own son. If he wasn’t a beast, then what was he?
No, that’s not right. What had the beasts done wrong, to insult them by comparing them to him? Even calling him a beast would be an insult to the beasts!
With a soft snort, Su Tang refused to look at him anymore.
Gaiyin took one brief glance at Keli and the others beside him.
With a slight nod and an ironic look in his eyes, he retorted, "What’s it to you?"
Keli felt embarrassed by his short response. He was angry, but considering all the Divine Brave Warriors of Upper Beast City couldn’t defeat this man, he swallowed his pride.
"Yes, it was indiscreet of me to ask! Did Clan Leader come for Young Master Bai Zheng? Rest assured, Clan Leader, I stopped anyone here from discussing Young Master Bai Zheng’s departure. I guarantee no one in the kingdom will hear a word about it!"
Keli really couldn’t figure out where they had offended the Clan Leader apart from the Bai Zheng incident.
Regardless of whether he came for Bai Zheng or not, the matter had to be addressed.
"Hmm." Gaiyin gave a vague response, then ordered, "Prepare four rooms for us. We need to rest here."
On hearing this, Keli felt a chill run through him.
However, he dared not show his feelings and bobbed his head in agreement, "Yes, all right, I’ll have someone prepare them right away!"
After finishing speaking, he paused, then hesitantly asked, "May I ask... how long Clan Leader plans on staying? So I can make arrangements..."
Upon hearing Keli’s question, Su Tang felt like laughing.
What was there to arrange? He was just trying to find out when they would be leaving.
Since Keli hadn’t directly asked, Gaiyin didn’t give a straightforward answer either, "We’ll leave when we’ve rested enough. No need to make any preparations." 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Keli: "..."
He felt a pang in his heart.
Ru Hua was getting anxious as the two men talked around the subject but never got on point.
"White Tiger Clan Leader, where is my cub? What have you done to him? If he had made wrong, couldn’t you have spared him? He is just a cub!"
Keli, already on edge dealing with Gaiyin, was being cautious not to offend him. But he didn’t expect an idiot to be at his side!
Angered, he jerked Ru Hua to him, growling, "What are you blabbering about? Keep quiet!"
Perhaps she was hurt by the jerk, and with a whoosh, tears welled up in Ru Hua’s eyes. Through misty eyes, she looked at Gaiyin, "White Tiger Clan Leader, if you have anything against me, vent it on me. What kind of a man bullies a cub? Don’t you have cubs of your own?"
