Chapter 1576 “Ridiculous Thought (2)”

However……

It would not be until Ling Lang becomes an immortal at Bai Yan’s level would he understand being a genuine cultivator wasn’t the ending, but the beginning.

The path of cultivation was never-ending, limited only by the individual’s will and fort.i.tude.

“Mom, I see then. Also, don’t listen to their gibberish. Just look at Cousin and how clingy Xiachen is to her. There’s no way they’re not related.”

The flirt had a very good impression of this nephew so he’s all in on supporting the steambun. And if others claim otherwise, well, he doesn’t mind giving them a beating to teach the blabbermouth a lesson.

Of course, the premise remains that he could come out on top during the fight that is….

“Hoho.” The flirt’s comment there didn’t escape Tian Wind’s ear though. Making a sly smirk after being indirectly called a liar, “That’s only because the little young master has an innocent heart and is easily decieved by others. Little Young Master, this woman is only trying to get close to you in order to carry out her bad intention. I also hope you can understand this point and not be fooled. After all… your father is a prestigious and important individual. Many would do anything to marry him, let alone cheat some young child to their advantage, do you understand my meaning?”

Some of the guests may not understand what’s going on still with the whole Water Clan detail, but this comment from Tian Wind was easy enough to grasp.

Che~ So this woman isn’t the boy’s biological mother? How dare she call someone a husband stealer when she’s a husband stealer herself?

What a hypocrite, calling someone else out when she herself is one as well.

Bai Xiachen had very good hearing so he immediately got cold in the face when they started to gossip. As a way to vent his anger, the boy promptly rushed at the b.a.s.t.a.r.d who dares to downgrade his own mother by punching Tian Wind in the chest. Immediately, the guy loses his own balance and allowed the steambun to sidestep to one side and trip him fully by kicking him in the ankle. Just like that using two simple maneuvers, Bai Xiachen was able to cause someone that’s capable of flipping a car into falling heads over heels into the floor and making a mess of himself.

“Dad!” Tian Furen exclaims in shock over her own papa’s untimely fall and wanted to help. However, the second she moved was when the steambun struck with that cold hard glare, thus causing her to freeze on the spot.

This kid… he’s so cuddly and cute in the face, yet those eyes are so frightening and terrifying!

“As if I wouldn’t know who my mother is? Are you implying you know better than myself?” Bai Xiachen childish voice slowly rang across the banquet hall, leaving it dead silent due to how oppressive it was like a king facing his subjects, “She is my biological mother, also me and my father’s most precious person. My father only sent me here because he doesn’t want Mother to tarnish her own hands with your people’s blood, that’s his exact words.”

In that moment, Tian Wind’s expression had gone deathly white. It made perfect sense to him when he suspected the steambun to have a different mother; after all, the young lord of the Water Clan was known to be a sickly fella that rarely went out of the estate. How could a teen like Bai Yan back then who had no backing or family left meet someone so prestigious? On top of that, how come the Water Clan didn’t discard his brother-in-law who was the housekeeper of the Water Clan then? Who would keep their wife’s enemy by their side? Nothing adds up, nothing!

I know, it must be this woman’s doing! She must’ve fed the kid some sort of drug to bend his mind to her will, that must be it! This sly wench, I will make her understand what it means to cross me!

Slowly pulling himself together as he crawled up from the ground, Tian Wind didn’t have the attention to contemplate why the boy would be able to hurt himself and instead shot his daughter a signaling look.

Understanding what her own dad wanted, Tian Furen promptly stepped forward with a charming smile: “Little Young Master, my dad is only looking out for your own good. He knows you like this woman, that’s why you are defending her in public. We can tell you understand she’s not your biological mother….”
