3632 A Smiling Tiger
“Shan’er, what’s the matter?”
The middle-aged man’s voice was heard, followed by his gaze to look outside. However, when he saw the scene outside the carriage, his eyes couldn’t help but slightly narrow, especially when he saw his daughter walk up to the Violet Gold Spirit Deer and reach out to touch it. He immediately let out a stern shout.
“Shan’er! Stop!”
His heart skipped a beat. He quickly got out of the carriage and pulled his daughter back to the side of the carriage. He looked at her with firm eyes and said, “Get back on the carriage!”
“Father, look, those are Violet Gold Spirit Deer.” Even though the girl was pulled back to the side of the carriage, she couldn’t take her eyes off the Violet Gold Spirit Deer parked nearby. Seeing the two incredibly beautiful Violet Gold Spirit Deer, she couldn’t help but want to go up and touch them.
Two young men came down from the carriage behind and asked, “Father, what’s the matter?”
“Go back!” The middle-aged man shouted sternly, his imposing gaze fixed on his daughter.
The girl felt humiliated after being yelled at like this. Her eyes reddened a little, and she stomped her feet and rushed back into the carriage, throwing herself onto the woman who was peeking out to see what was happening, and started crying.
The middle-aged man ignored his crying daughter and took a deep breath. Looking at the people in front, including Du Fan, he carefully cupped his fists in apology, “I’m truly sorry, my daughter was being impolite and disturbed you all.”
Du Fan fanned himself with a fan in his hand and a friendly smile on his face. “It’s alright.”
“We have to go on our way, so we will take our leave now.” The middle-aged man cupped his fists again. Even though the person in front of him was smiling, he felt no kindness at all, only a bone-chilling fear.
“Please do,” Du Fan said, continuing to smile warmly at them.
The middle-aged man didn’t dare to linger. He turned to his two sons who were standing not far away and commanded, “Get back on the carriage, we must continue on our journey.” His warning gaze fell on them, causing the two young men to dare not ask any more questions. They nodded and then took one last look at the people before heading back to their carriage.
The group of people rode their carriage away, not daring to linger for even a moment. From beginning to end, no one saw who exactly was the person being surrounded by the men in the background.
Du Fan’s smile faded as he watched those people leave, replaced by a cold glint in his eyes. He snorted softly and closed his fan.
If that girl had dared to touch Master’s purple-gold spirit deer, her hands would probably not be intact by now. But that middle-aged man was sensible.
“Master, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” Leng Shuang asked, concerned that she hadn’t been able to eat anything good along the way. After all, she was now eating for two, and the baby in her womb needed nutrition.
“I don’t have much of an appetite, and I don’t want to eat anything. There’s no need to trouble yourself, let’s just rest for a bit and then move on,” Feng Jiu said, propping her chin with one hand as she looked ahead, enjoying the cool breeze on her face.
Meanwhile, the earlier carriage gradually slowed down after travelling quite a distance.
The two young men from the carriage behind came to the front carriage where their sister was still crying. They lifted the curtain and asked, “Father, what happened earlier? Why is sister crying like this?”
The middle-aged man ordered the carriage to stop, looked at his two sons standing outside, and then glanced at his still-crying daughter. His face was filled with anger.
