chapter 4741 resolving the knot of the heart

upon arriving at bai zhantang’s residence, long chen found that he wasn’t there. so, he went toward the rear mountains to find bai zhantang beside a tall waterfall.

at this moment, bai zhantang was staring at the waterfall blankly. no one knew what he was thinking.

as long chen arrived beside him, he sat down on a boulder and smiled at bai zhantang.

“vice palace master, are you missing your two wives?”

“is it any of your business? i’m not in the mood to chat with you!” said bai zhantang irritably.

long chen remained silent and just picked up a rock. with a flick of his finger, it shot into the waterfall, its penetrative power unleashing a spray of droplets.

as the sun shone on the water droplets, a rainbow emerged, its vibrant hues illuminating the cliffside, enhancing its beauty. even bai zhantang found himself momentarily captivated before he angrily remarked, “is this the kind of trickery you used to con away shishi?”

“so what if it is? my methods are beyond your comprehension with your level of intelligence,” retorted long chen.

“hmph, a slippery-tongued man is the least trustworthy!”

“a man who can’t even make his women happy is no different from an empty cannon,” countered long chen.

“you want to fight, is that it? come, let me see if you are qualified to be arrogant in front of me!” bai zhantang furiously stood up.

seeing bai zhantang acting like this, long chen waved his hand dismissively. “i’ve long since gotten past that competitive age. tell me, for you to come back at this time, it wasn’t your idea, was it? were you forced to return?”

“you... how did you know?” bai zhantang was baffled.

long chen didn’t reply to this question. instead, he said, “you brought those two priceless treasures back, but in truth, you had another mission. however, you have completely blundered that mission.”

“well, she cried because of it,” replied long chen solemnly.

bai zhantang was struck speechless, so he just sat there, his eyes reddening. a rare tenderness surfaced from within this stern, iron-hearted man.

bai zhantang’s jaw moved a few times, but no words came out of his mouth. seeing this, long chen turned away and looked at the distant mountains, giving him a chance to wipe away the tears in the corner of his eyes.

“shishi is very proud. that’s why she can’t apologize...” said long chen.

“she didn’t do anything wrong, so she doesn’t have to apologize. the daughter of bai zhantang doesn’t need to apologize to anyone! including you! i’m warning you, you can’t bully her. even if she is wrong, you can’t force her to admit it. i won’t let you off if you do,” warned bai zhantang, recovering his domineeringness. he instantly became reinvigorated.

long chen didn’t respond to bai zhantang’s warning. inside, he thought to himself that if bai zhantang wouldn’t let him off, his beloved daughter wouldn’t let his father off either.

observing bai zhantang’s expression, which seemed as though a burden had been lifted from his shoulders, long chen couldn’t help but smile. to him, such a trivial issue was far too insignificant.

“you don’t need to worry about shishi. she will continue to maintain her pride...”

“hmph, i know what my daughter is like. i don’t need your advice,” interrupted bai zhantang.

long chen nodded. “as for xiaole, he is like a child and is delighted by your gift. however, you shouldn’t hope for a single gift to change the way he views you.”

“tch, why do i need him to change? if he doesn’t like it, i’ll put him in his place,” answered bai zhantang indifferently.

“that’s also true. you should do so while you can still do it. in a few years, who knows who will be putting who in their place?” said long chen casually, his hands on the back of his head as he looked up at the sky.

“what does that mean? you think i won’t be a match for him in a few years?” demanded bai zhantang.

“in truth, even now, if xiaole and little nine were to go all-out, your odds of victory would not exceed seventy percent,” replied long chen.

“hmph, keep bragging,” retorted bai zhantang as he stared at long chen in disbelief.
