Chapter 212: Brother was Wrong
Chapter 212: Brother was Wrong
Your master is right. If someone bullies, you dont have to be polite. If you cant beat them, then find your seniors to help. Elena or Jier will be happy to help you. Ming Xi reached over to pat her head.
OK! Feng Wu nodded her head happily.
They didnt talk privately for too long since they were in a public space so they got up and rejoined the crowd again.
Xiao Wu! Tian called out to his sister and ran over to her as soon as he saw her reappear.
Feng Wu didnt reply, she just kept her head down. Normally she would have rushed into his arms and rubbed her cheeks against him like a little baby.
He knew she was angry, but didnt she understand he was trying to do what was best for her? Didnt she know Shui was vindictive and would keep harassing her if she didnt apologize? That girl would definitely plan something in the shadows.
Xiao Wu, I know youre angry, but Im doing this to protect you. Tian felt helpless. He was trying to help but she didnt appreciate it.
Because of Feng Wus earlier throw her arms and hug display a lot of people were interested in her, so now she was the center of attention. They kept their ears perked to listen in. But how come no matter how hard they strained they couldnt hear a thing?
You even put up a sound barrier? Come on! How are we to satisfy our curiosity? The people complained in their hearts.
Perhaps you are considering whats best for Xiao Wu, but your kind of consideration isnt what she needs. Ming Xi said softly.
Ming Xi said this with a soft angelic smile on his face, but Tian could feel the other party was not happy with him.
Look at this. Afterwards tell me if you still feel Xiao Wu should apologize. Ming Xi handed a stone object to Tian.
Tian reached for it then wove his consciousness into it. It was an imprint stone with the recording that Rain took when they were all in the virtual world together. She couldnt use it so she had given it to Feng Wu. She had told Feng Wu to use her qi to transfer the recording onto another stone in the outside world.[notes]
Feng Wu obediently did exactly as Rain instructed. Then she left it in her storage ring and forgot about it until Ming Xi asked her about it while they were talking earlier.
After Ming Xi saw the recording he felt the two slaps were too light. That girl deserved a tougher beating.
Tians face turned green as he watched the recording. He thought they had traded the usual insults along the lines of Shui telling Xiao Wu had a crippled cultivation and probably some things about Bai not liking her. He assumed Xiao Wu lost control like she normally did and lashed out physically. He hadnt realized the extent of what Jin Li meant when he said a lot of ugly words. His imagination was no where as inflamatory as the recording in the stone.
He would never have asked Xiao Wu to apologize if hed seen this earlier. He would have demanded Shui apologize. Just because he didnt want Bai to go after Xiao Wu didnt mean he was afraid of him. Now that he knew the truth, even if Bai wanted to reprimand Xiao Wu, he wasnt going to let it happen.
They had been good brothers for a long time. If it werent for the sake of getting justice for his sister, he wouldnt confront Bai. It was too bad things reached this point. Even if it affected their brotherhood, he wasnt going to let Feng Wu apologize to Shui.
Xiao Wu, I was wrong. I wont ask you to apologize to Shui anymore. Youre right. You didnt do anything wrong. Tian gently said as he rubbed her head.
Mm. Brother is good. Feng Wu threw herself into her brothers arms like usual. As long as her brother didnt ask her to apologize, then he was a good brother.
Bai, Shui and the others had a bunch of questions for Tian, but sadly they couldnt ask a single one because Tian was with the Feng Wu and Feng Wu was with the prince.
Feng Wu was very happy that night. She had her brother on one side and Ming Xi on the other. They accompanied her to the water and watched as she set her lantern in the river with her wish note attached.
Ming Xi went back and spoke a few words with the queen and the princess. He stayed with Feng Wu for the rest of the festival that night. He couldnt help but smile at her contagious good mood.
Would he have been so relaxed if he knew Feng Wus wish was to marry him? . . .
Feng Wus peaceful family life was interrupted several days after the festival.
The Qui family learned about Shui being attacked after the festival. How could Madam Qui let it slide? She brought her son and daughter to seek justice.
Bai knew how short-tempered his mother was, so he had originally wanted to keep her from knowing. He wanted to find another opportunity to go to Feng house and ask Feng Wu to apologize so they could put the whole thing behind them, but Bing accidentally let it slip. So now here they were in Feng housethe situation out of control.
Ning Fei and Jin Li also came along as witnesses. Madam Qui didnt want it to be said she was causing trouble without reason.
Madam Qui and Madam Lan had never gotten along. Madam Qui was quick to anger and just as quick to fight, whereas Madam Lan was tender and loved to cry. Their temperaments mixed like hot oil and water.
