Chapter 644: Chapter 644 - 643 Elder Yun, the Island Master, Gets Angry (Each - from Here on Out is 3000 Words) _2
"Could it be you’re an Immortal, able to foresee the future?"
Xie Pan’Er’s face turned cold. Even though she knew the Seventh Young Master and the Emperor were present, and either would stand up for Xiaosuisui, she couldn’t bear to see Lady Yun Three slander Xiaosuisui like this.
"I... I’m no Immortal, but Li Yanyan just told me that she and this Li Suisui are paternal cousins. When Li Suisui was born, her parents were jinxed to death by her. Afterward, she jinxed two of her aunts; one ended up with a broken leg, and the other went blind. Her uncle was also jinxed by her to the point of madness and also lost a leg. Heavens, this girl is truly ominous." Lady Yun Three repeated all that Li Yanyan had said, and after finishing, she felt chills running down her spine.
She was even trembling slightly.
"You... look at what you’re saying, so ominous! This girl, I see she’s fair-skinned and clean, chubby and adorable. How could she possibly be the reincarnation of a jinx? I think she’s more like an immortal child descended to earth!"
Hearing Old Island Master Yun’s words, Xiaosuisui was overjoyed. A delighted smile immediately bloomed on her small face.
The little girl giggled, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and clapped her little hands joyfully.
"HEE HEE HEE, an immortal child! I’m an immortal child, a pretty immortal child!"
Her joyful little demeanor was infectious, affecting everyone in the Flower Hall.
However, this did not include Lady Yun Three!
"Clearly, she’s a jinx, yet she insists on calling herself an immortal child? Truly shameless."
Lady Yun Three was so furious her face twisted.
"You’re the shameless one! Your skin is thicker than a city wall..."
Xiaosuisui instinctively retorted but stopped herself midway.
Her chubby little hand covered her small mouth as she thought,
Lady Yun Three already thinks I’m a jinx after listening to Li Yanyan, believing I’ll bring misfortune to Yunzhou Island. If what I just blurted out accidentally comes true, wouldn’t that just confirm I’m the reincarnation of a jinx?
Thinking this, Xiaosuisui slapped her own little head in frustration. She then changed the latter half of her sentence to, "Your skin is thicker than the dust on the city walls!"
The moment she said this, someone in the room let out a PUFFT of laughter.
Lady Yun Three’s face instantly darkened. She stamped her foot in anger. "You impudent brat!"
Xiaosuisui put her hands on her hips and retorted, "You’re the impudent one! Regardless of anything, I am a guest on Yunzhou Island. You’ve repeatedly tried to make things difficult for me and slandered my reputation. Is this how you treat a guest?
Besides, Old Island Master Yun is still here! He is the true master of Yunzhou Island, and he hasn’t said anything critical of me. You are merely his daughter-in-law, a junior. Yet you are so aggressive, trying to hound me to death. What exactly are your intentions?"
After Xiaosuisui finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded. A child not yet five years old spoke so forcefully and logically, rendering Lady Yun Three speechless!
"I... I... You... you little chit, you..."
"What about ’you’? Still not leaving? Making a fool of yourself!" Old Island Master Yun was so angry his face turned green. He quickly shooed his third daughter-in-law out.
"This little girl is not bad; she handles herself with propriety. My third daughter-in-law, however, is simply unruly and always disrespectful. She’s just like a common shrew from the market!"
Hearing Old Island Master Yun’s words, Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but think of her three maternal aunts-by-marriage.
"My three maternal aunts-by-marriage are very good to my maternal grandmother. Whenever my maternal grandmother is present, my three maternal aunts-by-marriage are always obedient. In everything, they prioritize my maternal grandmother’s wishes."
As Xiaosuisui spoke of her three maternal aunts-by-marriage, her heart filled with longing.
"From your words, your maternal aunts-by-marriage must be very filial to your maternal grandmother!"
"Of course! My maternal grandmother is the best grandmother in the world. My eldest maternal aunt-by-marriage once said she’s also the best mother-in-law in the world!"
Speaking of her maternal grandmother, Xiaosuisui recalled Old Lady Ji’s kind face. WU WU WU... I miss Grandma so much!
Xiaosuisui pouted and asked Ji Youzhi, "Seventh Uncle, when can we go home?"
Ji Youzhi blinked upon hearing her and immediately replied, "Once we find Wangwu Mountain and uncover the truth, we’ll return right away."
Hearing Ji Youzhi’s words, Old Island Master Yun’s expression changed instantly.
"What did you say? You... where are you going?"
Ji Youzhi chuckled softly. "To be perfectly honest, we are constables from the Great Han. We set out to sea this time to find the residents who disappeared from both sides of the Yunhang Coast!"
"What did you say? You... you’re actually people from the Great Han Dynasty’s court!"
Old Island Master Yun’s aura changed abruptly. His gaze towards Ji Youzhi carried a strong sense of oppression, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.
The Emperor fanned himself with his folding fan, secretly circulating his Qi to resist.
This Old Island Master Yun’s Martial Arts... he’s probably already a Grandmaster, or perhaps even beyond a Grandmaster!
Thinking this, His Majesty the Emperor couldn’t help but look towards Ji Youzhi.
Ji Youzhi was also secretly circulating his Qi to resist. Xie Pan’Er, who stood beside them, possessed no Martial Arts. She couldn’t bear the pressure and let out a muffled groan, then clutched her chest!
"Pan’Er!"
Both the Emperor and Ji Youzhi cried out in alarm. This brought Old Island Master Yun back to his senses, and he managed to retract the oppressive force he had released.
"PHEW..." Xie Pan’Er couldn’t help but exhale sharply.
"Old Island Master! Why have you become so angry?"
The Emperor also let out a sharp exhale and looked at Old Island Master Yun, who was on the main seat, questioning him.
