Chapter 698: Chapter 219 Dong Xiaoyan Robs!【Two-in-one】_3 Chapter 698: Chapter 219 Dong Xiaoyan Robs!【Two-in-one】_3 “Oh my…hehehe…it seems Uncle III has muddled up the ti, as you know, as one gets older, mory tends to fade.”
“Just this earring won’t do, I’m missing a hairpin!”
Dong Xiaoyan wasn’t about to let this go easily, she seized the opportunity to extort as much as she could.
“I have one!”
Dong Tiesong sifted painfully through his rings.
“That Jade Phoenix Hairpin!”
“No problem!”
“And I’m missing a bracelet!”
“I have one!”
“Also a hair ornant!”
“I have one!”
“And a chain bracelet! I need one that’s both beautiful and capable of attack and protection… like the Snow Dragon Bracelet for instance.”
“… What?”
“Do you have it or not?”
“…I do!”
“I’m also missing…”
During Dong Xiaoyan’s tirade, she virtually rounded up a full set of top-notch jewelry from head to toe, shattering Dong Tiesong’s heart.
All these pieces of jewelry were prepared as birthday gifts for the Palace Mistress, Dong Xiaoyan’s mother. Yet now, not a single piece was left.
What was he supposed to do for the actual birthday?
Should he just say he gave them to his daughter?
This was sothing Dong Tiesong was too embarrassed to say!
After a while, on the verge of exhaustion, Dong Tiesong asked, “Girl, what else do you want?”
Dong Xiaoyan, after much thought and so regret, asked, “What else do you have?”
“…”
Dong Tiesong, speechless, replied, “Nothing. Absolutely nothing left.”
“…”
Dong Xiaoyan said, “The physician we want may not be available. I’ll set an appointnt for you first and see how it goes.”
Dong Tiesong perked up, “Can I et him in person?”
“No way!”
Dong Xiaoyan flatly refused, “What if you kidnap him?”
“Would I do that?”
“Hmph… is your na in the Heavenly Judgnt? ”
“!!”
Dong Tiesong forcefully replied, “I have always been honorable in my actions, how could I end up on a hit list?”
“Mm-hmm … That’s right.”
Dong Xiaoyan nodded.
Dong Tiesong, known for his upright character, was one of those who most firmly adhered to this principle even among the old farts at the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace.
He lived by one tenet: Good deeds are bound to be rewarded, or so he fervently believed!
As a result, he acted with principled rigor, was consistently kind to others, stood up against injustice, wandered about the world, diating disputes, and acted as the people’s guardian.
He could surely claim countless good deeds!
Unfortunately, one ti, when he stood up for ordinary people, he crossed paths with a formidable demon.
Although he managed to kill the demon in the ensuing fierce battle, he also destroyed his origin energy and from then on, his martial path ca to a halt.
Feeling his age and life nearing its end, he sought dical help. But instead of using the na of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, he chose to go on this journey alone.
Everyone knew there was a significant difference between sending a delegation from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and Dong Tiesong arriving alone.
“Why didn’t you let the Palace arrange for soone to co with you?” Dong Xiaoyan couldn’t help but ask.
“I didn’t want to bother the Palace for a dying old man like myself…”
Dong Tiesong sighed, “Even Jiang Changhai from the Absolute Sword Devil Palace ca alone. Are we no better than them?”
“About that…”
Dong Xiaoyan asked, “Where are you staying now?”
“I am at…”
“Then go back and wait. I’ll co to you once I have news.”
“Yan Yan… I’m really counting on you this ti.” Dong Tiesong seed sowhat emotional.
“I’ll do my best.”
…
After Dong Tiesong left, Dong Xiaoyan paced for a while, feeling both relieved and guilty.
She blad herself for getting Feng Yin into trouble.
But at the sa ti, she was relieved to know that there was hope for her great uncle.
No matter what she felt, remorse or relief, Yan Yan had no regrets about what she had done.
The next morning, Dong Xiaoyan popped out.
She gave a pre-emptive warning to the Bai Changshan brothers, “Don’t follow . If you’re spotted tailing , it could jeopardize Uncle’s chances of being saved”.
So, the Bai Changshan brothers stayed behind at the inn.
They had great respect for Dong Tiesong and wouldn’t want such a virtuous old man to die needlessly.
Feng Yin had just gotten up.
And was surprised to see Dong Xiaoyan already sitting outside his door.
“Yan Yan, did you stay here all night?”
Feng Yin blurted out, “Why didn’t you co to my room? My bed is so warm…”
“Pervert! Get lost!”
Dong Xiaoyan cursed, then rembered she was there to ask for his help and imdiately softened her tone, “This ti, I really need your help.”
“Oh boy…”
Feng Yin quipped, “Seems like ever since you’ve known , you’ve always been asking for my help…”
“You!”
Dong Xiaoyan was instantly furious.
Yet, when she thought about it, it seed that ever since she t him, she indeed had been always asking for his help.
No wonder people call her Yan Yan, she had selectively forgotten all the tis she had saved Feng Yin during battles.
She felt deeply indebted to him.
Feeling embarrassed, she hesitantly said, “One of my uncles, has injured his origin energy…”
Feng Yin frowned, “What’s that all about…”
He casually took out a pill, the sa type he once refined for Leopard Elder. Rembering it was for Dong Xiaoyan’s uncle he infused it with spiritual energy, put it in a small jade bottle, and handed it to Dong Xiaoyan saying, “Take it! If it doesn’t work, I have more.”
But Dong Xiaoyan took a step back and shook her head resolutely, “You need to let finish.”
