Chapter 641 - 635: All Born Performers
Can we let Xi Huang take the person away?
It definitely needs to be Xi Huang taking them away; if Peacock Great Ming King doesn’t go to Wa Huang’s Palace, how can Lin Yuan continue his act of deceit?
Peacock Great Ming King will be a planted insider for Lin Yuan in Wa Huang’s Palace.
When Lin Yuan finally battles against the Four Great Primordial Spirits, Peacock Great Ming King will become the blade piercing their hearts.
Though Lin Yuan does want Xi Huang to take Peacock Great Ming King away, he can’t act too eager about it.
"How outrageous!"
"Xi Huang, you just arrived and you’re like a harbinger of doom, coming right to our door. What kind of attitude is this!?"
"I’m the Lord of Heaven and Earth, do you think I would go back on our agreement?" Lin Yuan put on a furious expression.
Lin Yuan was quite skilled in the Little Fairy’s art of persuasion; when he can’t gain the upper hand, he has to make a point about his attitude.
Xi Huang: "????"
Xi Huang was puzzled, thinking, is there something wrong with my attitude?
The appointed date has come, and I’m here to pick up the person. There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?
Besides, ever since I got here, I’ve been courteous, and I haven’t said anything inappropriate, have I?
Dealing with someone unreasonable, Xi Huang indeed had no solution.
"Lin Yuan, you should know that if the heavenly vows aren’t fulfilled, dragging this out won’t bode well for Peacock Great Ming King."
"You should let me take him away as soon as possible; it’s best for both sides!" Xi Huang tried to speak as gently as possible.
Lin Yuan glared at Xi Huang with eyes wide open, gritting his teeth, and said, "What, are you saying I’m being unreasonable?"
"Peacock Great Ming King is my father-in-law, my dear family and friend, and now you want to forcibly take him away. So what if I vent my frustration?"
Xi Huang: "????"
Elder Bai: "????"
Lin Yuan’s unreasonable outbursts really left Xi Huang at a loss.
Not just Xi Huang, even Elder Bai beside him was somewhat unable to watch.
Elder Bai thought, Lin Yuan, stop overacting, it’s starting to look a bit fake.
"Ahem ahem!" Elder Bai cleared his throat and advised from the side, "Lin Yuan, they really should take Peacock Great Ming King away!"
"We’ve struggled to persuade Peacock Great Ming King; if he stays any longer, he might get too emotional and refuse to leave!"
"I wish my old friend could stay, but if he does, we can’t guarantee his safety!"
After listening to Elder Bai’s advice, Lin Yuan seemed a bit moved.
"Ah!" After a heavy sigh, Lin Yuan said, "Fine, then!"
"Fine!"
"At this point, I can only let you take my father-in-law away!"
Xi Huang: "????"
Xi Huang stood there, feeling all sorts of awkward.
He felt a bit guilty, thinking he seemed like some hooligan abducting a maiden.
"Elder Bai, go and bring Peacock Great Ming King here!" Lin Yuan instructed Elder Bai.
Elder Bai left, and after a while, led Peacock Great Ming King over.
Upon seeing Peacock Great Ming King, Xi Huang, who was feeling a bit guilty at first, now felt a sense of relief.
No matter what, his task was about to be completed.
Soon, he could take Peacock Great Ming King away from here.
At this moment, Peacock Great Ming King’s eyes also showed a sense of reluctance.
Lin Yuan looked at Peacock Great Ming King with reluctance, and Peacock Great Ming King also looked at Lin Yuan with the same reluctance.
Seeing this, Xi Huang thought, my goodness, there’s something fishy with those looks!
Is this really a son-in-law and father-in-law?
Is there something going on between you two?
Most likely, you’re siding with the father-in-law against the daughter, huh?
Xi Huang thought, something’s off, extremely off!
Let’s go!
If we delay any longer, things might change!
I need to quickly take Peacock Great Ming King away!
When we leave, Peacock Great Ming King should walk ahead of me; otherwise, I’d be a bit scared.
Thinking this, Xi Huang cupped his hands towards Peacock Great Ming King and said, "Peacock Great Ming King, shall we depart?"
"I know you are an honest man."
When saying "honest man," Xi Huang emphasized the tone.
He was reminding Peacock Great Ming King that he is a man of his word.
Mainly, the looks between Lin Yuan and Peacock Great Ming King were indeed a bit intimidating.
Have to say, this room is full of acting talents!
Only Xi Huang is the honest one here.
"Go?"
"Indeed, it’s time to go, but I can’t bear to!" Saying this, Peacock Great Ming King said to Lin Yuan, "Son-in-law, I must go, but before I leave, I must leave you something to remember me by."
With that, Peacock Great Ming King started searching on his body as if looking for something.
He searched for quite a while but found nothing.
"Xi Huang, are you carrying any treasures? Lend me one first."
"Once I leave, who knows when I’ll return; I must leave my son-in-law something to remember me by!" said Peacock Great Ming King.
Xi Huang: "????"
Although Xi Huang is an honest man, he’s not a fool!
This time Xi Huang understood.
So Lin Yuan and Peacock Great Ming King were acting all along!
At the last moment, they were trying to extort some treasures from him.
If Xi Huang thought so, it would actually wrong Lin Yuan!
According to Lin Yuan’s script, by this point in the act, Peacock Great Ming King should be going with Xi Huang.
But who would have thought Peacock Great Ming King would add extra drama for himself?
Since Peacock Great Ming King added extra drama, Lin Yuan had to cooperate and continue the act.
"Peacock Great Ming King, if you’re leaving something for your son-in-law to remember, it has to be yours, right?"
"If you borrow my items as a memento, will your son-in-law think of you or me when he sees them later?" Xi Huang said with a bit of annoyance.
Upon hearing this, Peacock Great Ming King was taken aback.
He thought, wow, he even figured that out.
However, Peacock Great Ming King’s mind was quick, and he immediately asked, "Xi Huang, your things, are they from Wa Huang’s Palace?"
Xi Huang was taken aback and immediately replied, "Yes!"
After speaking, he looked at Peacock Great Ming King, thinking, let’s see how you explain this.
Peacock Great Ming King confidently said, "Doesn’t that make sense?"
"Where are you taking me? To Wa Huang’s Palace, correct?"
"Your items originate from Wa Huang’s Palace; if my son-in-law sees them, he will think of Wa Huang’s Palace and thus think of me, right?"
After hearing Peacock Great Ming King’s words, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up in his heart.
Thinking, as expected, you’re my esteemed father-in-law!
It’s like, apples don’t fall far from the tree... Wait, no, it’s more like you’ve learned my tricks well!
Your skill in extortion is no less than mine.
Xi Huang: "????"
Xi Huang was speechless, thinking, what kind of twisted logic is this!?
"No!"
"I came in a hurry this time; I didn’t bring any treasures!" Xi Huang showed a stance of just not giving in, no matter what.
