Chapter 844 “Frame (1)”

“Oomph!” Making a dry cough to lighten up the mood, Zheng Qi finally decides to speak, “Lord, I have another matter I like to report.”

“What’s the matter?”

“This time I want to recommend Yan Yan as the judge for this event. Do you think it’s a good idea?” Zheng Qi’s proposal actually made the middle-aged lord go mute. Pondering for a while, the person turns to the woman herself: “Lass, do you want to accept your shifu’s proposal?”

“How long does it take to open the entrance to the domain? And how long is the recruitment conference?” she asks with deep thoughts running through those eyes.

“It takes more than a month to open up a portal to the Holy Domain, that’s more than enough time to finish the recruitment tests for sure.”

“Okay,” flashing a strange light in those irises, the woman’s lip had curved into a smirk for some reason. “I will take over as the judge for this event.”

“Haha,” Chu Ran laughs and pats her shoulder again, “now I can be relieved with you as the judge. Yi Yi, follow Bai Yan and gain some experience. Do not stray from her side and make sure to follow her directions to point, understand?”

Chu Yi Yi appeared to be very aggrieved at the moment because she still hasn’t forgotten how her father just framed herself. Just when the girl wanted to cry out to defend herself, Chu Ran had already shot her a warning look. The meaning was very simple: sell me out and you’re done for!

Perhaps it’s how terrible that look was but the troublemaker actually cowered for once. Shaking her head like a rocking drum, she didn’t say anything like instructed.

“Ahumph!” Zheng Qi coughs again to gain their attention, “Since we’re finished with what we came to ask then we will take our leave first. I still have something to ask my student here in private.” Arching his old fist, the elder pulled Bai Yan along until they are completely out of sight.

Relieved at the close call, Chu Ran immediately breaks out into a grin like his own daughter does when she’s done something bad. In a wave of his sleeve, the dishes that he hid away was now back on the table.

“Yi Yi, let’s continue.” Laughing heartily, he smoothly takes a seat to warrant a disgruntled face from the girl.

“Forget it, I’m going to look for Bai Yan.”

“Wait!” Seeing how quickly the lass was moving, Chu Ran promptly cried out: “Remember what I told you. If you sell me out then I’ll marry you off in the coming day! I’m sure there are plenty of nice young man around with the test happening.”

Almost tripping over herself when listening to that ridiculous comment, this troublemaker of course wouldn’t have the courage to sell her own father out. Like old like young, their similarity was uncanning…

……

In the coming days the private grounds of the Holy Land have become much noisier compared due to the large influx of people. In order to not allow this ruckus to disturb the disciples that’s already inside training, the attendees were all gathered on the outer rim inside one courtyard for easy management.

At this time, a certain lady was anxiously pacing back and forth inside a little room with her gorgeously red dress when the door was pushed open. “Big Cousin, what did your mentor say, did he agree to help us?”

Lin Yahan sighed helplessly when facing his younger cousin: “Huo Yun, I’m afraid this time I won’t be able to help you….”

In that instant, the ecstatic expression on the lady’s face had frozen over: “Why Cousin, your mentor’s status is exceptionally high here, how come he won’t help us? Or is he unwilling?”
