Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1124: Extremely Protective of His Son

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

The eyeballs of the clan chiefs all most popped out because of shock.

[Holy hell! Isn't he too tough?]

[Man, you are a big brother indeed. I understand you are protective of your son, but could you try to understand what situation you are facing and who are you talking to, could you? Do you know who you are talking to? Shuang and Han of Qiong-Hua Palace!]

[Not to mention hitting your son, even if they hit you, slaughter every one of your clan, it would be a piece of cake for them, wouldn't it?]

[Look at you! You are no better than an ant in front of them. How dare you blame them?]

[I assume you have eaten some leopard gall or a bear heart, but that shouldn't be able to give you this much courage!]

Shuang and Han, the leading figures in this event. were actually stunned. They confusedly stared at Ye Nantian and felt only scared.

The reason why they would feel scared was simple. That man… was their brother's father…

Most importantly, the man was protecting their brother!

"Ahem!" Ye Xiao hurriedly coughed.

He was trying to warn the two ladies. He knew pretty well about the two sisters. If he didn't inform them, they might directly apologize to Ye Nantian or even kneel down to submit!

If Ye Nantian started to attack the ladies, they would not even defend themselves, not to mention fight back!

Their brother's father was just like their own father!

"So what if we hit him? So what if we didn't?" Yue Han pretended to be calm and indifferent. She truly wanted to wipe the sweat on her forehead though…

"Humph!" Ye Nantian was furious. "So what? My son, I haven't even scolded him one time since he was born! Let alone hit him…"

He was raging up. "How dare you hit my son! You have to pay for it… I…"

Before the furious father finished yelling…

"We didn't hit him!"

Yue Han hurriedly explained with a few words, widely opening her eyes. [I should stop being indifferent now. I should better tell him the truth. Things are going to end up entirely wrong if we explain late.]

- Boom! -

Some people were so shocked that they hearts stopped beating. The clan chiefs of the other clans were so appalled that they actually sat on the floor right away. They were gasping heavily right now.

[Holy hell…]

[Did I see a ghost or was I dreaming?]

[This must be a nightmare!]

[Why would such horrible, terrifying, scary, astonishing, and unimaginable scene happen in my sight if it isn't a nightmare…]

"Why would we hit him?" Yue Shuang added. She still looked cold and bland. "We are here to end the chaos. You will be dead if we want to fight. What is the point?"

What she said, she said it in the typical way in which the two ladies usually acted.

However, Ye Nantian was stunned. He said, "Then why is he…"

"Father, I suddenly felt sleepy when we were having the conversation. I wanted to wash my face to stay sober, but I slipped. That is why my clothes are wet. It was my fault… Not theirs…" What a lousy story!

[You are a level one Dao Origin Stage cultivator, a superior cultivator. Even though you are nothing in front Shuang and Yue, you are the most dominant figure in Oracle District. In a conversation which concerns the future of our clan, that might decide our rise or fall, you actually told me you felt sleepy…]

[How sleepy were you?]

[How sleepy were you that it made you slip and fall to the floor…]

Even Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian felt like passing out when they heard it.

[Come on, brother, you should do better at making up a story…]

[Even pigs won't believe it!]

[If you have to make a stupid lie like this, please don't let anybody know that you are a disciple of Cold Moon Palace, okay? We can't bear the disgrace! Please!]

What surprised them most was that the ladies helped him with that 'pighead' story…

"That's true. He fell asleep…" Yue Shuang and Yue Han actually tried to cover his lie. "He got a washbasin of water from somewhere and tried to stay sober. Something happened. He slipped… The water all fell on him. That is why he looks muddy… How careless…"

Everybody, who heard their words, showed the same face, opening their mouth and widening their big round eyes, numbly looking at Ye Xiao and the two ladies. Nobody talked. They froze!

They all deeply felt like being struck by the divine thunderbolts right on the heads!

Even those who claimed to be smart and enterprising all felt muddy in the head. They were totally blank, not knowing what to think of.

What happened was beyond a human being's recognition!

Everyone had the same thought, [I am going crazy!]

[This is such a crazy world…]

Even Ye Xiao, the only man who got supported, rolled up his eyes.

[Holy hell. How did Qiong-Hua Palace teach their disciples? How did the little girls live till present? They are not even close to two murderous figures who are experienced in the martial world!]

[They are obviously two ignorant and innocent young stupid foolish silly girls…]

Ye Nantian was numbed. When he returned to consciousness and closed his mouth, he found his face was stiff…

He tried to move the lips and then said, "Well…"

"Hmm… That…"

Yue Shuang was going to say something too.

When they heard the other start to talk, they both stopped to let the other talk.

However, what happened next was nobody talking…

Zhan Yunfei had a muddy head at the moment. He secretly pushed Zhu Jiutian with a finger and said, "Do you understand what is going on?"

Zhu Jiutian rolled his eyes up and said, "How could I?"

"This is too weird. So strange… Like magic…" Zhan Yunfei touched his head and grumbled.

Zhu Jiutian was wholly lost in it too. "That's right. This is too… much… that…"

"I just feel that it's impossible to understand it…" Zhan Yunfei looked deeply lost in thoughts. "The only thing I have in my mind is… I feel like I am your surname at this very moment…" [1]

"My surname?" Zhu Jiutian was confused, and then he realized what Zhan Yunfei was talking. He shouted in a fury, "Zhan Yunfei! You prick!"
