Chapter 1405 - 1404: Various Troubles and Nitpicking
Hearing Gong Yunfei’s words, Sun Zhancheng’s face darkened, "What does Yunfei mean by this?"Gong Yunfei raised an eyebrow and said, "Does the Family Head not know that there are many voices in the sect that do not welcome the prodigy? The prodigy dares not return. With so many voices in the sect, even if the Family Head wants to protect the prodigy, it will be very difficult, and the prodigy doesn’t want to make things hard for the Family Head, hence this decision."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhancheng’s expression eased considerably, "If I knew, I would do everything in my power to protect the prodigy."
Gong Yunfei smiled slightly and said ambiguously, "So we must sincerely thank Madam Bei. Without her years of sheltering and nurturing, the prodigy might have been homeless."
Sun Zhancheng tugged at his facial muscles, feeling a bit of a forced smile.
"In that case, we must indeed be grateful to Madam Bei. However, my previous opinion remains: Madam Bei should have informed me about this matter. This is a major issue concerning the Pengge Sect."
Gong Yunfei lowered her gaze. This guy is cunning, and no matter how the topic is shifted, he keeps clinging to this point, which makes things difficult.
Beisitian smiled faintly, her attractive lips forming a perfect curve, "If Mr. Sun insists on an explanation, I really can’t provide one. After all, I thought you would be grateful to me. Who would’ve thought doing a good deed would lead to being questioned instead."
After a pause, she continued, "At least for my Qingyu people, I won’t let them wander outside unaware, nor will I fail to seek them. And I certainly won’t blame people for helping me when they’re overwhelmed with such burdens. If you do it like this, I have to ask Mr. Sun, are you unwilling for Changle to return?"
These words changed Sun Zhancheng’s expression. He squinted at Beisitian; this woman’s words were truly sharp.
"Doctor Bei misunderstood; how could I be unwilling for the prodigy to return? It’s just that I’ve been kept in the dark and feel I’ve let the prodigy down, hence the question. Madam Bei shouldn’t mind too much." Sun Zhancheng quickly smiled.
Beisitian’s smile remained unchanged, "I don’t mind, but if Mr. Sun feels indebted to Changle, it would be better to compensate properly going forward. Asking me for an explanation is futile."
Sun Zhancheng’s maintained smile almost faltered, and he nodded repeatedly, agreeing.
Gong Chengyan and Gong Yunfei, brother and sister, exchanged a glance, surprised that the biggest problem was resolved with just a few words from Beisitian.
Even though they already knew Beisitian was no ordinary person, the matter was dealt with so decisively, it still amazed them.
Jing Changle watched Aunt Bei display her prowess, with a smile overflowing on his lips and a deep reluctance in his eyes. He knew that this time he truly had to leave.
"Aunt Bei, thank you for your guidance over the years. Changle will never forget your kindness!" Jing Changle bowed deeply, his tone sincere, attitude serious, and filled with reluctance.
Beisitian looked at Jing Changle softly, stood up to help him up, and said sincerely, "Work hard."
What kind of effort, Jing Changle already knew. Beisitian had specifically advised him for a long time and offered many plans.
Seeing this, Sun Zhancheng’s eyes flashed slightly, and he asked with a smile, "With the prodigy’s exceptional talent nurtured for so many years by Madam Bei, I suppose he has stepped very close to the threshold, right?"
Jing Changle showed a guilty expression, "Still far from the threshold."
Sun Zhancheng frowned, "How can that be? The prodigy is innately talented. There’s no reason he hasn’t reached the threshold!"
