Waiting For You (A Wangxian FF)

27) Threat

"Get father! Now!!" Hua Xuanyu jumped out of the bed not caring how unstable his body is, yelling at his brother in panic.

"What happened?! Where is a-niang?" Shizui inquired worriedly as he together with Feng Ling supported Xuanyu to move out and towards Lan WangJi's guest quarters.

Hua Xuanyu protested, "No time. We need a-die!"

"Ge... You need to calm down and tell us what happened." Feng Ling tried this time but to no avail. So they just moved as fast as they could to find Lan WangJi and get him moving.

"A-die! Are you there?! Come out, now!!" The moment they arrived at Lan WangJi's door Hua Xuanyu shouted, rudely banging as hard as possible on the door.

"Ge!" Shizui hissed, knowing full well what his brother is doing, it's not appropriate. But Xuanyu didn't care. He just kept shouting until Lan WangJi opened the door with a huge frown on his face.

"Mother! He captured mother!!" Before the man could yell at him Hua Xuanyu announced, almost giving heart attacks to the other three.

"WHAT?!" Shizui and Feng Ling both asked at the same time as Lan WangJi commanded, "Where?"

"Jin GuangYao's private chambers. In his treasury." Xuanyu replied, hurrying his father to move.

"You, go and inform your sect leaders." Lan WangJi ordered Feng Ling before moving towards the jin sect leader's private chambers with his two sons following closely behind.

However the guards there didn't allow them to enter and soon the cultivators who had gathered at Koi Tower also came over, one after another hearing the alarms going off. All were surprised.

"What happened?"

"Why is there so much noise here?"

"This is the Fragrant Palace. Isn't it a bit unsuitable for us to..."

"I just heard the sound of the alerts..."

Suddenly, a smiling voice echoed, "What's wrong? Is it that the reception during the day wasn't good enough, and everyone wants to host an evening banquet here at my place?"

Jin GuangYao walked calmly out of the crowd. Hua Xuanyu, "LianFang-Zun, what a good timing. If you came a bit later, then we wouldn't be able to see what's in the secret room of the Fragrant Palace."

Jin GuangYao paused, "Secret room?"

Hua Xuanyu added fiercely, "And my mother."

Jin GuangYao looked somewhat lost, "Your mother? Xuanyu...I thought your mother passed away a while ago."

"My adoptive mother, you cunning fox!" Hua Xuanyu snapped, his fear, worry and protectiveness for his mother about to blast out in full force.

"Ge..." Shizui pressed his hand on his brother's shoulder before directly looking at the chief cultivator, "With all due respect chief cultivator Jin GuangYao, would it be possible to let us in and allow us to take a look at your treasure room? And we need to check your chambers to find our mother."

Jin GuangYao looked as though he found the request both strange and difficult, "It's called a treasure room, young master Hua. And you want me to open it? For your mother? Well..."

"Open it." Lan WangJi demanded, his tone cold and firm.

Jin GuangYao looked fixedly at him. All of a sudden, he grinned, "Since Hanguang Jun is so intent on it, then I must open it for everyone to see, mustn't I?"

He walked to the front of the door, which opened at a wave of his hand. From amid the crowd, someone remarked coldly, "People say that the GusuLan Sect values conduct the most. Seeing from this, it seems that rumors are only rumors. Barging into the bedchamber of a sect leader is good conduct indeed."
