Chapter 932: Chapter 741: The Evildoer Dies, the Immortal Daoist Lives
As soon as Mr. Ban Shan heard Gu Taitian mention their daughters, his anger couldn’t be contained, "It’s not just Changsheng’s daughter; even that Buddy Mu is unruly. Brother, you don’t know; I’ve written to you several times, urging you to hasten your journey to the capital. I’m truly at my wit’s end dealing with these two who disregard all traditions!"
Gu Taitian saw Mr. Ban Shan’s beard blowing and eyes glaring in anger, and immediately said, "What have they done so bold and reckless, brother? Speak directly, for now that I am here in the capital, I must have a word with them!"
"Brother, you say you don’t know. Let’s not even talk about the rest; their arrogant actions are surely known by all in the streets, but there are many hidden matters. Just speaking of the marriage proposal, before the grand wedding ceremony, men and women must not meet - that’s the ancestral rule. But those two..." Upon seeing Gu Taitian, Mr. Ban Shan immediately started pouring out his dissatisfaction with the two like a torrent, "They destroyed a corner of the Heavenly Palace Traveling Palace pavilion, and the kitchen is left in complete disarray due to them..."
Mr. Ban Shan rattled off various offenses of the two from recent days, feeling as if his beloved daughter Changsheng and Buddy Mu were simply unconscionable!
"Outrageous! Outrageous! These two youngsters are truly lawless!" Gu Taitian’s fury surged upon hearing Mr. Ban Shan’s words; it turns out the rumors he heard along the way were but a drop in the ocean, and the two were far more troublesome than he’d imagined.
Buddy Mu messed up the civil and military officials’ kitchen, and his daughter sabotaged her own wedding preparations... This is simply appalling!
He was born into the Wuchang family of the Great Witch in Bashu, his beloved wife hailing from the Phoenix Imperial Clan of the Southern Border - both had noble lineage in their past lives. Who would’ve thought through all these past and present lives, he’d have such a rebellious daughter!
This really infuriated him!
"Brother, I’ve broken several broomsticks, yet those two persist in their own ways. I am ashamed, for I have failed to fulfill Brother’s request to discipline them. I must still trouble Brother with this responsibility, for those two have truly vexed me beyond endurance!" Mr. Ban Shan vented his frustrations, finally coming to a breath, as he said.
"Don’t worry, brother. Now that I am here, I intend to see how they plan to explain these various chaotic matters to me. Changsheng assured me when leaving Liuzhou, promising to follow rules and peacefully prepare for marriage. I shouldn’t have trusted her! Shouldn’t have trusted her!" Gu Taitian clenched his fists, speaking with angry eyes.
For a moment, the Heavenly Palace Gate was silent enough to hear a pin drop, with only the two speaking in frustrated tones about their own daughter and son-in-law.
Bystanders looked puzzled, while the old ministers and female officials of the Southern Country kneeling on the ground broke into cold sweats as they listened.
Godfather, why did Mr. Ban Shan come out first?
Why, when these two royal fathers gathered, did the Lord’s anger not lessen but rather increase, with a tendency to go berserk?
What should be done now? How to resolve it?
When the Lord was furious, would he truly harm their Majesties and son-in-law?
This...
How could they stop a father from beating his daughter? They had no grounds for intervention!
What was to be done now?
While the ministers of the Southern Country lay on the ground in distress, in the Heavenly Palace, a crowd escorted a figure in scarlet and bright yellow slowly toward the door!
Indeed, slowly!
The speed, let alone urgent, was barely faster than a turtle!
While the two shouted indignantly at their daughter’s misconduct and their son-in-law’s rudeness, their voices abruptly halted, turning their heads, brows furrowed, looking incredulously at the group appearing at the entrance.
The ministers kneeling felt something, too, and turned their heads slightly to peek at the newcomers.
Just one glance, and the ministers of the Southern Country were thunderstruck, stupefied!
Godfather! What is the situation here?
What did they see?
Some skeptical female officials rubbed their eyes in disbelief, widening them for another look!
Xiao Cui and Han Qiu, one on each side, supported a frail figure in scarlet and bright yellow, slowly moving this way.
A slender waist no wider than a hand, fragile like a willow swaying, seemingly ready to topple at the slightest breeze!
Godfather! Who is this pale-faced, sickly woman? Their Majesty?
But that’s impossible! Moments earlier, when they saw their Majesty, she was spiritedly scolding the Young Prince. How did she become so frail in an instant?
