Chapter 387 “The Excited Senior of the Lan House (4)”
Just as Old Lord Lan was pacing back and forth in his own room, anxious over the impending guests coming to their home, the old grandpa was suddenly alerted by one of his servants that Di Cang and Bai Yan has arrived instead.
As much as he would love to meet his granddaughter’s shifus, he’s more inclined to care for his own flesh and blood first. Whisking his sleeve, this old grandpa promptly strode towards the front hall where the supposed couple and their child awaits.
“Yan Yan, what about your shifus, where are they?” That’s the first thing the elder asked.
“They are still dealing with some things in the palace. Don’t worry Grandfather, they will come over later so don’t mind them. I’m sorry, but I will have to bother you to help receive them while they are here.”
“Haha, since it is your shifus then of course I will have entertain them. Besides, I still need to thank them for the generosity they showed you during your time away from home.” Smiling all the way, the grandpa suddenly remembered something important, “Oh yes, Yan Yan, I forgot to ask, what sort of background is your shifus from?”
Bai Yan didn’t answer right away; instead, she only made an astonished look at the elder. “Didn’t Di Xiao Wan (demon princess) not tell you their identity?”
“No she didn’t.” Old Lord Lan replies with certainty in his voice.
He may be old but he’s not senile. There’s no way something of that important would just pass by his head.
“Oh umm,” rubbing her nose, Bai Yan was a bit embarrassed to tell the truth, “They are the three chief elders of the Holy Land.”
Holy Land’s three chief elders?
BANG!
Turning into a statue, the poor grandpa simply couldn’t believe his ears. Then again, how can he stay calm? Elders of the Holy Land! Don’t forget, Bai Zhi’s arrogance during this period was all due to the fact that she’s hit it off with an inner circle disciple of that power!
Continuing in his stupor state until he was alone again, Old Lord Lan then finally made a dash for his daughter-in-law’s location, “Roulan! Hurry, leave the tidying to someone and come with me!”
Dong Ruolan (Bai Yan’s aunt) was shocked by his father-in-law’s appearance, “What happened Father? Why are you in such a rushed state?”
Still overly excited, the grandpa was having trouble making his words clear: “Forget about organizing the guest rooms. Come here, we will tidy up my room instead for the honoured guests.”
It’s the elders of the Holy Land that they are receiving! To have people of that level to live in a guest room is a travesty, a sin! What if they blame Yan Yan afterwards because of our carelessness?
The more Old Lord Lan thought about it, the more reasonable his worries became. As a result, even the air around him seems to have tensed up.
“Did something happen Father?” Still confused, Dong Roulan furrows her brow and asked.
Flailing his hand around like a maniac, the elder’s condition wasn’t doing so well. It’s as if he’s having a panic attack at this point, huffing and puffing like a patient experiencing an episode.
“Ruolan, Yan Yan’s shifus…. They are the elders of the Holy Land! Do you understand? We must do everything in our power to entertain them. We mustn’t embarrass our home in front of the guests!”
Now this time it was the poor woman’s turn to fall into a frantic mess. All jumpy like a steroid induced squirrel, poor Dong Roulan was even more nervous than her father-in-law because she’s literally screaming!
Then as if the situation wasn’t critical enough, just when the two were running around trying to get everything in order, one of the servants in the house just had to come with further bad news: “Milord, there are some guests at the front hall for you. They claim to be the shifus of the young miss.”
