Chapter 422 “Gatekeeper (3)”
“This…” Scratching his head, Wang Deqiu awkwardly states the truth, “I forgot.”
Of course, the old senior here wouldn’t take that well. Twitching in the corner of his mouth, that old face looked like its been iced again: “A prestigious guest is of the upmost importance. Next time you mustn’t forget it. Enough, we will continue this conversation at another time. Xiaoyin, go take your friend inside so he can rest first.”
Wang Xiaoyin was the real name of Wang Xiaopeng, but nowadays due to how fitting that nickname has become, even the chubby’s own father had taken a habit to calling him that.
Note: Xiaopeng actually means little chubby in Chinese.
Therefore, it actually took a minute for the kid to realize his grandpa was indeed calling for him and not someone else: “Uhhh, oh ya, Boss, let’s go to my room then.”
“Okay,” nodding his head confirmation, Bai Xiaochen didn’t forget to leave a note like a proper son. “Mother, me and Xiaopeng will go ahead first.”
Without another word, the baby boy makes a swipe for the resting tiger’s tail and snatched him up just like that. Though the position was slightly awkward, Little Rice didn’t really have much to complain about since he wasn’t forgotten like the last time.
“Wait!” Apparently Wang Deyi had only just discovered the baby tiger’s existence. Hurrying to cry out: “How can there be a cat here? All of you can go inside, but that cat cannot. Hurry and toss it away.”
It’s unsure why, but when Bai Xiachen halted in his steps to shoot a sideway glance at him, the rude man definitely felt a pang of frost in those eyes.

Then again, it wasn’t an illusion, the baby boy definitely got angry for that split second, Except for me,no one can frown upon Little Rice!
“Deyi!” A thin layer of rage could be seen in the elder’s face, “What are you doing?”
“Father, it’s not like you don’t know it. Back when my daughter was three, a wild demon kitty came around and scratched her up. Since then, she’s been hateful of all felines. Even if this cat is no demon beast, it’s still a feline. I will never allow such a creature to appear before my child!”
Upon hearing this, Little Rice could only cry foul as he swiped his claws at the ignorant bastard.
You are a cat; your whole family are cats!Furthermore, who said I am not a demon beast? Is this Wang family all blind?
“Wang Deqiu,” sweeping her gaze over to the man, Bai Yan could no longer ignore this. “Since your family doesn’t welcome us then we will go elsewhere. If Xiaopeng wishes to see my son later then he can come find us at the inn. Also, the business deal from before….”
Anxious to the point of sweating already, Wang Deqiu had illusions about Bai Yan’s character. Oh crap, this isn’t good. If this woman says one then it would be one, meaning she really would sever all ties with the Wang family!
“Old Three, quit trying to cause trouble. Miss Bai Yan’s cat can stay wherever it likes, or do you want the Dan pills to be all taken away?”
“That’s easy for you to say, it’s not your daughter we’re talking about here. As a father, how can I allow something my daughter hates to appear.” Sneering in his face, Wang Deyi justifies his stance using reasonable claims, “Besides, is a cat more important than a person? Surely the choice is clear. It’s not like Miss Bai Yan has to bring the thing with her now does she?”
Since the bastard was going this far in his words, it’s obvious Wang Deyi wasn’t holding Bai Yan’s threat to heart, So what if she’s an alchemist? Our Wang family is the gatekeeper, the Misty Fairy House would never abandon us over someone of no importance.
“Son, we’re leaving,” she turns away, ready to leave.
However, just when things were about to cross the point of no return, the senior that’s remained mostly silent finally cuts in again: “Enough! The cat belongs to the lady. If she wishes to take it with her then so be it. Old Three, just have your daughter stay inside her room during this period.”
Popping his eyes in shock, Wang Deyi almost looked twisted in that face, How can… how can this be! For a cat, Father would confine his own granddaughter away?
