If Di Cang’s own subordinates admit to the rumors when he came, what other reason does he have to doubt it being true?
How could he ever forgive that man?
He treats his sister as the most precious person in his life, he couldn’t bear knowing she suffered such indignation that she had to run away from home with his nephew, he just couldn’t!
“I like to see you try!” It’s then a loud angry voice snaps in from the rear.
When seeing that silver haired figure coming close, Bai Xiao immediately pulled the woman in his grasp to the back while taking a protective stance.
“Xiao’er, it’s been three years already and the first thing you do when visiting us is to find a stepfather for my son?” The demon king snarled, his anger already brewing to the point of erupting.
Seriously, if those words had come out of anyone else aside from Bai Xiao, Bai Yan’s most precious brother, this demon king would’ve attacked right that second without another word.
Smirking: “You are going to take a new consort so why are you insisting on occupying my sister? When I gave my sister to you, I did it because I thought you would be true and give her a lifetime of happiness. And now what? You made her and my nephew leave home because of you!”
Bai Yan just looked at her brother in dismay. Then right as she wanted to explain the whole story and that its not what he thinks, Di Cang’s cool voice cuts in again: “When did I ever say I want a consort?”
“Then why would your own subordinates say you are?!”
Frowning in the face, Di Cang’s gaze shifts to his own men who are trying very hard to avoid eye contact. “Which of you said I wanted a consort? Get out here now!”
That makes sense now. He was wondering why Bai Xiao would be so angry when he first came out, this explains everything! It’s all because of these stupid idiots!
Aware that their king’s mood was getting increasingly grumpier and darker, a guard that was the captain of this group timidly stepped forward: “Sire, please have mercy, we only said those things because we heard the rumors.”
“Rumors?” Di Cang sneered, “Have your brains gone to mush because you spent so much time in the secret domain? Just because people are spreading some rumor that its true? When did hearsay become the truth? Have I ever issued such an order?”
The guards all wiped their own forehead due to the sweat coming forward, Now that the king mentions it…. We really are stupid!
“First Elder, I’m leaving their punishment to you. I want everyone who so much as spoke about the rumor punished. They need to be thoroughly taught a lesson for being so stupid!” Di Cang’s cold hard voice instantly made them all shudder at the prospect.
“Yes, Sire.” The old elder nervously complied.
After saying all this, Di Cang once again returns his attention to the young man: “Didn’t I say I only have your sister in heart? Whatever nonsense about a consort, they’re all lies.”
That actually made Bai Xiao show a stunned face in return. But there’s no way he could take the word of these people at hand. Instead, he turns to the only person he believes and that was his sister.
Sure enough, Bai Yan’s nodding head confirmed the idea: “It’s not what you think. There’s been a lot of rumors floating around and they’re all done by someone who’s been hiding in the shadows.”
“Then I believe you.” A look of relief swept across Bai Xiao’s face and revealed that proud genuine smile.
“But if he bullies you, I’ll take you away! You are my sister, the most previous person in this world. I won’t allow anyone to make you unhappy!”
Only when she’s happy can I feel at ease…
