The Young Matriarch

Chapter 979: Chapter 979: The Country Bumpkin Outside Who Has Never Seen a True God

Xiao Yi was specially invited by Zhao Tianfang to meet the esteemed guests and gain insight, and upon hearing this, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed angrily, filled with displeasure.

How could someone talk like that?

Saying Bai Chuwei is a low-quality knockoff? If her fans heard this, they would surely engage in another fierce online battle!

Zhao Tianfang coughed lightly, repeatedly signaling to Xiao Yi with his eyes to mind his expressions.

Any cultivator coming from this island could turn China’s cultivation world upside down, so they try to satisfy their demands.

After all, these cultivators live on the island year-round, not coming out for decades or even centuries.

There’s no need to offend them.

The young girl noticed Xiao Yi’s angry expression, and inwardly mocked him; these bumpkins from outside had never seen a true god, yet they worship a low-grade knockoff as if it were an immortal.

Forget it, they couldn’t be bothered to argue with these inexperienced kids. noveldrama

"Whether it’s a knockoff or the genuine article, we won’t say much."

The twin sister Li Zhuzhu waved her hand, maintaining her posture, and calmly said to Zhao Tianfang, "It seems you know where the little beast is? Since you know where it is, it’s simple; please return the little beast to us."

The sisters couldn’t understand it; what was the problem with staying with their master? Their Immortal Island’s master, where all sects on the island must obey her orders.

Yet the little beast ran off on its own; despite being good-looking, it wasn’t very smart.

The pleasant, light incense burned in the hall, while the corner’s potted plants grew lush and vibrant.

However, the atmosphere was mysteriously awkward.

Seeing no one move, the twin sister Zhao Yuyu frowned, displeased, "Hey, what’s going on with you all? We said, return the little beast to us. Do you intend to keep it for yourselves?"

The sisters were a bit surprised; weren’t the outside cultivators said to revere their Immortal Island’s cultivators as gods?

Why were they dragging their feet about returning a little beast?

Li Zhuzhu thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because all of China knows that the little beast is now being kept at the Animal Boarding Facility? Is that why you find it difficult?"

Besides this reason, they couldn’t think of any other explanation.

Zhao Tianfang frowned so intensely that he could almost crush a fly, his lips moved, "It’s not because of that reason, it’s because... the little beast is now being kept by Senior Bai."

"That low-grade knockoff?" Li Yuyu exclaimed in disbelief.

Li Yuyu almost laughed out of anger, "Zhao Daoist, I think you’re getting old, your brain isn’t as sharp as it was a hundred years ago. Haven’t you heard of the phrase ’return the property to its rightful owner’? That little beast is our Immortal Teacher’s mount, it escaped on its own, we’ve come to bring it home, and that knockoff wants to keep it for herself?"

"Is there a reason in this world where the rightful owner comes to reclaim property and the thief refuses to return it? Our Immortal Island’s cultivators haven’t left the island for seventy or eighty years, we didn’t know the outside world had become so strange!"

Zhao Tianfang was reprimanded by the twin sisters so much that his old face flushed red with embarrassment; he suppressed the urge to slap them and smiled, "Please wait a moment, we’ll discuss this."

The high-level members of the Unnatural Management Bureau immediately moved to another empty room to discuss.

An elder spread his hands outward, "Now we’re done for, we can’t afford to offend either side. Bai Chuwei has repaired the Dragon Vein, and she’s one of China’s cultivation world’s top contributors; how could we justify taking the Cloud-Swallowing Beast Cub from her now?"

The elder next to him seemed troubled, "But we can’t afford to offend the cultivators from Immortal Island either, and if the little beast really is their master’s mount that escaped, it should indeed be returned to its rightful owner."

Now they’re stuck in the middle, completely at a loss.
