Novel Bin Chapter 667 - She’s a Good Person (3)
With a bang, Huan Yin’s (girl) leg crumbled as she felt her body falling to the ground . There’s so much pain in her eyes that she felt distraught at being the cause of someone’s death: “I owe her my life, twice at that too!”
“I will go have the elder council come look for her, this river is far too deep to search with only us here!” Clenching his fist hard, the womanizer Xun Huan still couldn’t forget the brave image of Bai Yan jumping into the water at a moment’s notice.
He never thought someone would be so self-denying that they would sacrifice themselves for others!
“Brother Huan Yin, this wouldn’t be appropriate,“ Mu Leng’s wrinkled brow showed she didn’t approve of the plan. “Your brother’s condition isn’t very stable recently and the elder council is busy with their own matters, how can they come and save a single person? And… she already entered the bottom of the river, there’s no way she could be alive….”
The implication of those words were too obvious – quit wasting time and effort because the person’s dead.
“You shut up!” The womanizer shoots a harsh glare at the impudent girl with his bloodshot eyes. He’s fuming and easily provoked at the moment.
At first Mu Leng still didn’t know how to react, but that shocked look soon turned to disbelief because it’s the first time the man yelled at her. And, its for a stranger….
“Mu Leng, I thought you were only a proud natured person so I didn’t mind that part about you, at least you weren’t conceited in my view. But now I’ve seen the truth! You cowered in fear. I can’t fault you for wanting to keep yourself safe, after all, being self-protective is human nature. What I can’t accept is you lying to these people who believed in you. If you weren’t going to protect them then why did you promise what you did?!”
“I…” Mu Leng’s complexion had turned pale at the accusation. She didn’t know how to respond to the man’s interrogation.
“Oh Mu Leng ah Mu Leng, I’m such a fool. To think I had wanted to pursue a woman like you. You’re not a proud woman at all, you’re nothing but a self-centred fake who knows nothing of kindness and promise!”
Trembling in the corner of her lips at the last part, the woman wanted to defend herself. Unfortunately for her, she didn’t even get to chip in a single word before the conversation was cut off by the first girl who got swept into the water.
“I saw it clearly. The one who saved me is the lady from before. She’s a kind person. To think she would go so far for strangers like us,” that whimpering voice was crystal clear so pretty much everyone on deck could hear her.
Guilt could be seen across the board in everyone’s eye right now. They didn’t forget their ridiculing words from earlier despite having no reason to do so.
“Sir Xun Huan, if the elders aren’t willing to take action then I’m willing to send my family’s elites to come help in the search.”
“Me too! We can’t sit back and watch when someone like that is in need of help!”
……
Meanwhile all of this was occurring above water, Bai Yan on the other hand was busy confronting the two big lizards who caused this whole mess to begin with.
In truth, she could’ve released her son to deal with them using the bloodline pressure at the start. In that case none of this mess would’ve occurred. However, this was after all not the mainland. If she leaked her son’s identity then it wouldn’t be good and might even bring danger along their way.
So, here they are, out of sight and without anyone to pry into their business. Imagine the two dragons discovering the one they dragged away weren’t some pretty damsel in distress, rather it’s a ferocious beast that carried an even scarier beast that could make them tremble in great fear!
