Chapter 404: Show of Strength
Later on, Granny Witch seemed to have offended someone, which caused her to be disfigured entirely into this abominable appearance now.
It was unknown what kind of grudge she had with Murong Xun that she would arrange for her disciples to enact such a farce upon arriving in Xixia Valley.
Murong Xun ate that lavender snakelet with great relish, while Granny Witch had scrunched her creased old lady face together.
It could be seen that the old lady was fuming right now. She turned around to snap at her disciple, Qi Mei’er, “You don’t think it’s shameful enough? Come back!”
Qi Mei’er aggrievedly pattered back to stand behind Granny Witch, yet she kept intently sweeping across the several outstanding youths with her bashful and beautiful eyes.
“Murong Xun, long time no see.” When Granny Witch finally opened her mouth, her voice was unexpectedly quite melodious, like a nightingale flying out of a valley. This contrast between her voice and her appearance rather caused people to feel like shuddering in fear.
“Tsk. It has been quite a long time.” Murong Xun casually threw the roasted snake she finished eating onto the ground. She studied Granny Witch’s sagging and creased old face with a grin. “Old hag, your face seems to be more wrinkled than from a few years ago!”
Everyone: “…”
Everyone could see Granny Witch’s face twitching slightly and could discern that her mood was not necessarily as calm as it seemed on the surface. In her heart, she had probably long wanted to butcher and eat Peak Master Murong’s flesh raw.
“This old woman’s disciple has disturbed everyone today.” Granny Witch said dryly, “This old woman apologizes to everyone on her behalf. Mei’er, Huo’er, let’s go.”
Not mentioning Qi Mei’er, that anomaly, the beautiful and white-clothed Huo’er, whose head was adorned only with a small beaded flower, was not quite the same as the colorful senior sisters surrounding her as she stood behind the old woman.
Her expression was placid, and her eyes were lowered. When she occasionally lifted her head to look at everyone, her gaze would be tinged with compassion.
This really was a white daisy untainted by the mire that it sprouted from!
Everyone said silently in their hearts as they all gazed sympathetically at that Miss Qi Huo’er.
What a pity for a good and respectable girl to mingle with the batch of Coitus Faction harpies! Sigh, it really caused their hearts to ache.
“Wait!” Murong Xun called out. This immediately scared Xixia Valley’s Valley Master Luo Jinyang, and he rushed forward with an apologetic smile. “Peak Master Murong, seeing as it’s already quite late now, can we leave everything else until tomorrow?”
Murong Xun swept a glance at this good old fellow who already tried to please everyone, and waved her hand to say, “I didn’t have any other objections. Since the misunderstanding was already cleared up, you all can leave if you want! But, our sect’s main door was kicked down by who knows which dunce. You have to repair it immediately, or else don’t even think about sleeping!”
“Repair it!” The Holy Water Sect simultaneously rebuked!
Xixia Valley’s Valley Master, the good old fellow, hastily nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll immediately have someone repair this courtyard door and guarantee that it’ll be repaired right away.”
Murong Xun glanced at this miserable Valley Master and humphed. She muttered quietly, “So meddlesome!”
She had wanted the old hag to personally repair the door for her! This Valley Master, as a good old fellow, acted like a firefighter all day. Wherever there was a spark, he would douse that place with water!
Valley Master’s inner thoughts: I don’t want to either… Who knew you Three Sects and Five Factions would persistently be at each other’s throats and flare up more crazily each time than the last!
Granny Witch resentfully led the Coitus Faction disciples out.
She was displeased that she was not able to show Murong Xun up today!
