“How dare an outsider raise a weapon on my healing sun peak…?” An old voice interrupted the serious exchange between Zi Chen and Kent.
“Grandy…” Sophia muttered in a surprised tone after seeing the old lady who works in the administration hall. Sophia never expected that the old lady had such power.
Zi Chen stood up from the floor and stared at the old lady with a fierce look.
“What? Do you still want some smacking?” The old lady questioned with a mocking look. She stood in an authoritative stance without caring about Zi Chen’s status on the burning sun peak.
Controlling his anger, Zi Chen walked closer to Kent. “Get ready to face me in the arena. Soon, you will receive a challenge notice, and I hope you won’t disappoint me by hiding behind a woman.” Zi Chen spoke with an angry glare and turned around to leave.
“Tch… Tch…” [Snapping Sound]
“From this moment on, you were banned from stepping on Healing Sun Peak. Without peak master’s permission, if you dare to ascend the haling sun peak, I won’t hesitate to make you an eunuch.” The old administration lady warned with a threatening finger.
Zi Chen shrugged his shoulders and left, breathing heavily.
Sophia released a sigh of relief and approached the old lady with a smiling face. “Granny, I never thought you were so powerful. Haha… you really played with my brother.” Sophia said with a giggling laughter.
Instead of smiling, the old lady stared at Sophia with a varying look. “What did you do to enrage that angry barbarian? He is definitely upset about something bigger.” The old lady stared at Sophia with a doubtful look.
“Ah… Ah…” With an awkward cough, Sophia turned away, avoiding the old lady’s question. Kent also smiled calmly to the old lady’s scrutinizing gaze.
After trying for some more time, the old lady ignored the reason for Zi Chen’s anger. Slowly, the topic moved onto the women in the outer hall who were demanding for Kent.
“By the way, Granny, why did you come here all of a sudden? Are you here for Kent?” Sophia asked the old lady with a doubtful gaze. It is too coincidental that the old lady came exactly when Zi Chen took out his weapon.
“Shhh… How could I forget this? Kent, an envoy from the Yang family came here today, and he brought a letter that the Yang family patriarch is requesting your presence immediately. Peak Master is trying to find out the reason for their request. You might need to leave for the Yang family residence soon.
So, get your things ready.” The old lady explained everything without leaving any gap for asking questions.
“What?!… Granny, there seems to be something wrong. I’m the one who is treating the Yang family princess, Amelia. Why are they requesting Kent?” Sophia asked with a confused face.
But the old lady’s gaze fixed on Kent instead of Sophia. After seeing the deep, thoughtful reaction of Kent, the old lady understood that Kent definitely knew the reason for the Yang family calling. But she didn’t try to delve into details.
“Granny, say something? How was Kent involved in this?” Sophia asked again, as she couldn’t bear the suspense.
The old lady raised her hand and gave Sophia a pat on the head.
“Granny, where is Peak Master now? I want to leave for the Yang family residence as soon as possible.” Kent spoke in a determined tone while staring dazedly into empty space.
“You can’t leave until peak master found out the reason behind Yang family request. Peak Master is still in the outer hall, and she is dealing with those kinky women at the moment who were not leaving.” The old lady replied with a heavy sigh.
“It’s okey… I know a way to handle those troublemakers.” Kent replied while preparing to leave for the outer hall.
“Kent, stop. First, tell me what’s going on. Why the hell do you want to visit the Yang family? Are you hiding anything from me?” Sophia asked with a frustrated look while grabbing Kent’s arm.
“It’s not the time. I will tell you later.” Kent placed his hand over her grip and slowly patted her with a concerned look. Sophia slowly released her grip while staring into his eyes.
Even though the old administration lady didn’t like the idea of taking Kent to the outer hall, she respected his decision and accompanied Kent to the outer hall, where several visitors gathered.
“Boy, can you really handle them? Those women were the tough nuts to crack.” The old lady asked Kent while flying beside him on her puppy.
“My grand mother used to say this… when we are good at something, we shouldn’t do it for free. This is a perfect opportunity for me to milk those wealthy cows and make them obedient.” Kent uttered with a sly smile as he rubbed the Fire Kirin’s mane with an excited pat.
The old lady nodded her head with a confused look. It took her a lot of time for the old lady to understand Kent’s meaning of milking.
Soon they reached the outer hall, which is meant for treating visitors. As Kent stared down, he saw a mob of women who dressed lavishly, gathered around peak master Shreya. A chubby woman with a large jade stone embedded in her hair bun is standing at the front.
Beside her, a tall woman with long, flowy hair stood authoritatively. In between these two women, a short lady with a lot of flowery decorations stood with a serious face. Among all the women, these three women took the role of speakers. Peak Master Shreya is having a tough time with these ladies.
Even though Peak Master Shreya is a lot more powerful than these people, she is afraid of losing connections with these powerful families, who have strong control over the Golden Bamboo City’s trade and commerce.
The other sects were very eager to attract these families. That’s why Peak Master Shreya is trying her best not to offend these ladies.
Instead of getting down directly, Kent stopped in the air and began observing the crowd from a distance.
“What are you doing?” The old lady asked while hovering behind Kent.
“Tell me about the identities of those women in the front.” Kent asked while pointing his finger at the women who were arguing with Peak Master.
