Chapter 622: Killing Three Birds with One Stone (Updated 2.19, Third Update)
Master?!!!
Before everyone could recover from the fact that Xie Xihe and Duan Chengxian actually knew each other, they heard Duan Chengxian's words and immediately looked up with disbelief on their faces.
Fan You couldn't help but twitch his face twice. He finally suppressed the urge to curse and said with a forced smile, "Master Duan, are you kidding? It's well known that you only have one disciple, Master Hengzhi, and you've publicly stated that you won't accept any more disciples. How come another disciple suddenly appears?"
The most important thing is that this disciple is Xie Xihe!
Xie Xihe alone is already difficult to deal with, if Duan Chengxian is also involved...
Fan You felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and even thinking about it gave him a headache.
Duan Chengxian's expression straightened up: "Do you think I'm the type to joke?"
Fan You opened his mouth to speak, but Duan Chengxian interrupted him impatiently with a wave of his hand: "Let me tell you this, Xi'er is indeed not my formal disciple, but he does have to call me Master."
He pulled Xie Xihe towards him, raised his chin and said, "I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce her to everyone."
"Xie Xihe." He pointed at Xie Xihe and said solemnly, "My Hengzhi's wife, also my apprentice's wife."
Ignoring everyone's suddenly wide eyes, Duan Chengxian's gaze fell on Fan Min on the stretcher: "I, Duan Chengxian, have never had a wife or children in my life. I only have one precious disciple, Hengzhi, by my side. I have always raised him as my own son. His wife is my daughter-in-law."
"My Hengzhi treats his little wife like he holds her in his hands, afraid of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth, afraid of her melting. He is reluctant to even say a harsh word to her on a daily basis. If she has a headache or a fever, he would even wish to take her place. He never wants her to suffer the slightest injustice."
His voice grew deeper as he questioned, "The precious child that we, master and disciple, cherished so dearly has now suffered great injustice from your Brahma tribe. Shouldn't you, the Brahma tribe, give me an explanation for something like this?!"
Fan You's throat was dry, and he struggled to speak: "But she is the Saint of my Fan clan, and this is my Fan clan's internal affairs..."
"Then she is first my daughter-in-law, Duan Chengxian!" Duan Chengxian's voice suddenly turned stern, his eyes shooting out like arrows. "No matter how close we are, or how old we came, Xie Xihe is first my daughter-in-law, Duan Chengxian, and only then your Saint Girl of the Brahma Clan!"
He waved his hand and issued an ultimatum: "You don't need to say any more to me. Today, Duan is putting his words here!"
"Either hand over Fan Min and give me an explanation, or I will take my Xi'er Hengzhi and leave the Fan Clan right now. I can't guarantee what will happen next!"
"You guys decide what to do!!"
There are two options, and everyone has the answer without having to think about them.
Not to mention some neutral or clan elders, even the people on Fanyou's side began to discuss in low voices, and their meaning was nothing more than the same: Fanmin was at fault in today's incident, and he deserved to be punished. There was no need to fight to the death with Old Duan for Fanmin.
Countless gazes, some implicit and some direct, fell on him, and Fan You's face had already turned ashen.
He could never have imagined that Duan Chengxian, who was originally invited by him to come to the Fan tribe, would stand against him in the blink of an eye and posed such a big problem to him.
If he agreed, the popularity and prestige he had worked so hard to build up would drop by half, and he would not have the capital to compete with Fan Yao.
I can’t refuse...I can’t refuse at all!
Everyone else agreed, so what was the point if he was the only one to object?!
In the end, not only did he fail to keep his bottom line, but he was also unable to be understood by his tribesmen, and also lost the support of the people!
He has no choice at all!
Fan You clenched his fists tightly and finally gave up resistance: "Master Duan's words are polite. Fan Min has made a mistake and should be punished. I just don't know how Master Duan intends to punish him."
He pleaded, "Please, Elder Duan, please give Fan Min a lighter punishment for saving Master Hengzhi from the Fan Clan."
Duan Chengxian sneered, thinking that it was Fan Yuyao who saved Sheng Shijing, so what did it have to do with Fan Min?
But before he could finish his words, Xie Xihe grabbed his sleeve and winked at him.
Duan Chengxian's heart moved slightly, and he quickly understood what Xie Xihe meant. He immediately said, "Okay, considering that the Fan Clan saved my Hengzhi, I will not make any excessive demands. I will expel Fan Min from the Fan Clan, and this matter will end here!"
When everyone heard that Duan Chengxian's request was only to expel Fan Min from the clan and did not involve them or the Fan clan, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to thank and flatter him with smiles on their faces.
The tense atmosphere immediately relaxed and the scene became harmonious.
Only Fanyou was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off!
Duan Chengxian's words directly severed his relationship with him, cutting off his way to use the favor of saving Prince Hengzhi to argue for himself, and he also punished Fan Min severely as he wished!
If Fan Min is expelled from the Fan tribe, he will no longer be a member of the Fan tribe. He will no longer be able to ask Xie Xihe to save him on this basis. Then Fan Min will have no choice but to die!
Fan You completely understood where the previous feeling of uneasiness and weirdness came from!
It turns out that Xie Xihe had already anticipated that Duan Chengxian was present and would definitely not watch her being forced to use her holy blood to save others, so she agreed so readily!
Now the person has been punished, the favor has been cleared, and the dilemma has been resolved.
She achieved three goals at once, without any problems!
But he didn't gain any benefits, and instead got himself into trouble!
Fan You was so angry that his heart was beating fast, and he even tasted a fishy-sweet smell in his throat!
A sinister look flashed across his eyes. While everyone's attention was on Xie Xi and Duan Chengxian, he quietly stepped back a few steps, waved to one of his men and whispered a few words to him.
A look of surprise and suspicion flashed across the subordinate's eyes. He subconsciously glanced in the direction of Xie Xihe and said hesitantly, "Master, isn't this inappropriate..."
Fan You's expression turned even uglier. He stared at him fiercely and said, "Just go if I tell you to. Why are you wasting your time talking?"
The subordinates felt a chill on their backs when they saw his gaze. They didn't dare to say anything more. After responding respectfully, they quickly left the crowd.
Fanyou watched him leave with a gloomy look in his eyes.
However, he didn't know that at the moment he stepped back, Xie Xihe had already glanced at him indifferently, and then withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened.
Duan Chengxian casually responded with a few words before pulling Xie Xihe aside and whispering, "Girl, let me tell you in advance. A Jing must have encountered some trouble and fainted. Then, he was taken back by Fan You's daughter. He is now at Fan Yuyao's residence."
"My Ajing is completely devoted to you and will never do anything to let you down. Don't misunderstand me when you meet others later!"
Xie Xihe glanced at him and said, "Oh."
Duan Chengxian: “…”
No, what does oh mean?
Don't tell him that you're already jealous before you even see the person?
Duan Chengxian looked at Xie Xihe carefully, but could not see any clues from her face. In the end, he could only sigh and said in his heart: Jing, Master has done his best, just leave it to fate.
Good night, see you tomorrow
