3633 Danger
“Stop crying!”
His voice boomed with anger, and his large hand slapped on the small table in the carriage. The sound startled the weeping girl huddled in the woman’s arms, causing her to stop crying immediately.
The two brothers standing beside the carriage exchanged glances at this.
“Alright, let’s talk calmly. The child is not unreasonable,” the woman said as she looked at the middle-aged man. She then patted her daughter comfortingly, “Stop crying, your father must have his reasons for scolding you. When you’re outside, you must be cautious. What you did earlier was too reckless.”
The girl bit her lower lip and bowed her head without saying anything.
“If I hadn’t stopped her just now, it’s uncertain where her hands would be now!” The middle-aged man spoke in a sombre tone, glancing at his daughter.
Everyone was shocked to hear this. “What?”
“How could it be? I…I was just trying to touch that Violet Gold Spirit Deer,” the girl spoke softly, unconvinced, and feeling her father was making a fuss over nothing.
“How could it be?”
The middle-aged man’s face darkened as he saw his daughter’s expression. “Do you think someone who can own a purple-gold spiritual deer is an ordinary person? Do you think ordinary people have followers whose abilities are unfathomable? Do you think the man talking to you with a smile while holding a fan is really friendly?”
“Hmph!” He snorted disapprovingly at her. “Had I not stopped you from getting close to that Violet Gold Spirit Deer, your hands would have been chopped off by the man with the fan!”
When she heard this, the girl was taken aback and her expression changed to one of disbelief.
The two men standing beside the carriage were also taken aback, their faces turning serious, “Father, since we have left, they should not make an issue of little sister’s previous rudeness, right?”
The middle-aged man remained silent for a moment before replying, “They probably won’t. If they did, they wouldn’t have let us go.” He looked at several of them and continued, “When you’re outside, you should always be cautious and modest. Remember, it’s always better to be polite. Always think before you act to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.”
“Yes, we will follow Father’s advice,” both men replied respectfully.
The middle-aged man then looked at his sad daughter and told his wife, “Once we return, you will personally teach her manners. She is not allowed to go out for three months! If she doesn’t rein in her temper, who knows when she will cause trouble.”
The woman nodded. With the middle-aged man’s command, they continued on their journey, though the atmosphere had lost its previous ease, becoming rather tense.
After resting, Feng Jiu and her group continued on their way. They weren’t in a hurry, and the spirit deer carriage proceeded slowly and steadily due to everyone’s concern for Feng Jiu’s health.
They mostly went through mountains and forests on their journey and didn’t come across any towns. When they reached a small village at dusk, they saw a few carriages and guards already parked there.
Du Fan glanced at those people and said to Feng Jiu, “Master, these are the people we met earlier today.”
“Mmm, find a place to rest. Tell Qingcheng to make some porridge, I want to have some,” Feng Jiu stated lazily while sitting in the spirit deer carriage.
