Chapter 89 No one is allowed around Xi'er
The former owner of Hongyuan came to her door, and Xi'er originally intended to return it.
She's a reasonable and kind girl; she would never do something like forcibly taking something that someone else loves.
However, Hongyuan clearly did not want to go back with his former master, which shows that he was not happy living in his former master's house.
Xi'er wondered if she should have a good talk with this former master and give him some supplies as compensation, so that Hongyuan could happily follow her from now on.
But to her surprise, the other party started speaking rudely, which angered her, and she didn't even want to give them the compensation.
However, the other party's cultivation level was clearly at least two major realms higher than hers, and should at least be at the first level of the Divine Realm.
She knew she couldn't win in a fight, and was just thinking about whether she should stay under someone else's roof and lower her head when she saw Ye Tanji make his move.
The Youyuan family head was completely stunned after being beaten. All his attention had been on Hongyuan, and he hadn't thought deeply about why the girl holding Hongyuan could stand next to the palace master.
He didn't even realize what was happening until he was beaten.
But the palace master was furious. Shocked and terrified, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Palace master, I am foolish and do not know what mistake I have made. Please enlighten me!"
"Hmph! Steward Feng, you tell him exactly where he went wrong?" Ye Tanji sneered.
Steward Feng: Help! I have no idea what the Youyuan family head did wrong!
However, Steward Feng was, after all, the chief steward of Yetan Palace, and he was capable of seeing and hearing everything.
After a brief review of what had happened, the cause was roughly deduced.
For the Palace Master to personally punish such a person, this person must have committed an unforgivable crime.
However, it only took a few minutes from when the head of the Youyuan family arrived at the meeting point.
During this time, he only said one sentence to Miss Xi'er's sacred beast cub, and then pointed at Miss Xi'er's nose and cursed her.
There is only one reason that angered the Palace Master—his disrespect for Miss Xi'er!
From the moment the Palace Master summoned Miss Xi'er alone, Steward Feng sensed that the Palace Master's attitude towards her was very special. This honor of being summoned alone was something that had never happened before.
Even the heads of the families only had the opportunity to be summoned together.
The girl favored by the Palace Master was actually insulted by the head of the Youyuan family, so it's no wonder the Palace Master was furious.
“Patriarch Youyuan, the Palace Master has ordered you all to come and assemble immediately to fight against the insectoids. However, you have arrived the latest. This is a mistake.”
Upon arriving at the meeting point, failing to immediately pay respects to the Palace Master is disrespectful to the Palace Master; these are two mistakes.
"To use foul language to insult Bai Xizun, the esteemed guest of the Palace Master, is a great disrespect to the Night Pool Palace. These are the three offenses!" Steward Feng went on and on, adding a whole host of crimes to his list.
Xi'er's eyes widened in surprise, and she and Bo Yiyan exchanged bewildered glances: As expected of the chief steward of Night Pool Palace, he can fabricate a bunch of charges against the other party in the blink of an eye when the palace master gets angry.
She wanted a manager like that too.
Ye Tanji's expression softened considerably upon hearing Steward Feng's words, and a smile crept onto his lips as he glanced at Xi'er's expressive face.
Even after being reincarnated, this girl remains so vibrant and lively; even the smallest thing can make her so energetic.
It seems that the Youyuan family patriarch got away with the beating; the person he cherishes so much dares to humiliate him at will!
If he weren't afraid of scaring Xi'er, he would have definitely beaten the person to ashes!
As one of the heads of the nine great families, the head of the Youyuan family was not truly stupid. He had only lost his composure when he suddenly saw the missing little ancestor.
Hearing the fabricated charges against him by Steward Feng, he finally came to his senses.
As soon as he received the order, he led his men over without stopping. Although he also used a little trick, arriving last, it was just to avoid being used as cannon fodder.
However, his slight delay was hardly a major mistake.
As for not paying respects to the Palace Master immediately upon arrival, that's not a mistake either, because in the past, whenever the Palace Master was in a hurry for them to come, he didn't care about the heads of the families paying their respects.
The most important point is that he just cursed the girl who kidnapped his little princess.
Although the head of the Youyuan family did not know her identity, he saw her standing beside the palace master with neither arrogance nor servility, and her expression showed no fear, but rather the vitality of a young girl.
He suddenly had a bold guess in his mind: could this Miss Bai Xi be a hidden gem that the Palace Master had lost to the world?
If that's the case, then it makes sense that the Palace Master was angry for her.
Thinking of this, the head of the Youyuan family decisively prostrated himself and admitted his mistake. Steward Feng did not hold a grudge. At most, when dealing with the insectoids, he would use the Youyuan family as the vanguard.
After admitting his mistake, the head of the Youyuan family stood up and approached Xi'er again, his face full of respect:
"Your Excellency Bai Xi, since ancient times, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Since my sacred beast has chosen you, it proves that you are the most suitable master for it."
I respect His choice, and please accept His personal belongings so that He may not feel uncomfortable in His daily life.
He handed over the hanging basket woven from star silk, and also offered up all the remaining star sand in his storage ring, along with the mustard seed space of the spiritual spring pool that He usually used for washing.
Although the head of the Youyuan family was heartbroken, compared to the danger of annihilation, these things, no matter how precious, were nothing more than external possessions.
Seeing the 180° change in the face of the Youyuan family head, Xi'er couldn't help but give him a mental thumbs up!
This person is indeed good at judging the situation, but unfortunately he has the wrong direction. He should be trying to curry favor with the Palace Master instead of offering gifts.
At the very least, he should have gone to curry favor with Manager Feng, why did he come here to fawn over a nobody like her?
This kind of person will never suffer a loss. If you rashly accept his gift, he will make you pay back a hundred or a thousand times over once he finds out the truth.
Just as Xi'er was about to refuse, she saw Hong Yuan lightly raise his front paw and put all these things into his space.
Now Xi'er is completely relieved of his burden. Anyway, she didn't take the things. If he wants to settle accounts later, he should go after that brat Hong Yuan.
Ye Tanji watched Xi'er's little expressions the whole time, and his mood became more and more pleasant, so he was too lazy to argue with the Youyuan family head anymore.
"I have reinforced the runic trapping array of this bronze gate. I have to leave for a while now. You must hold this line of defense."
Once the Zerg breach the defenses and enter, the entire Cloud Abyss will face a devastating catastrophe.
"At that time, your families will cease to exist. I believe you understand the gravity of the situation." Ye Tanji said coldly.
The family heads responded in unison. Ye Tanji left Steward Feng to supervise the family heads, and then left with Xi'er, Bo Yiyan, and two attendants, Xun Ri and Po Xiao.
"Xi'er, take me to find that panda brother you mentioned and solve the pheromone problem," Ye Tanji said.
“But I accidentally entered the Cloud Abyss Mirror through a spatial passage. The gales in that spatial passage are too chaotic, making it difficult to return the way I came,” Xi’er said.
“If you can tear through space, it will be easier to return through the spatial passage I tore open before,” Hong Yuan suddenly said.
Although he was not human, he was unwilling to see the Zerg destroy the Cloud Abyss Realm where he had lived for a long time.
“Alright, lead the way!” Ye Tanji said.
This sacred beast cub's appearance suited Xi'er's preferences, and it remained unmoved upon seeing its former master, wholeheartedly following Xi'er. It was a sensible creature.
The only thing that displeased him was that the cub was a male beast, and once it reached adulthood and transformed, it would kick him out.
Xi'er doesn't need any men vying for her favor, not even transformed male beasts!
