Chapter 1645: Disunited
Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh_
In Pu Ban City, sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed in a quiet, small valley, emitting a nice aroma. A few silver-white streams flowed across the valley. Standing by the streams were hundreds of log cabins. Some maids had been taking water from the screams with clay pots, while tens of giant battle tigers curled under the rocks beside the streams, snoring like kitties.
This was the Pu Ban base of the Huaxu Family. Emperor Fuxi was a member of the Huaxu Family, for which reason, the Huaxu Family had an exalted status in the human society. As a base of such an influential family, this valley was surely different. Outsiders were absolutely not allowed to come here.
With rage, Huaxu Chen, who retreated from Chi Ban Mountain area just now, rushed into the valley and came to a wooden building at the end of the valley through a footpath paved with flagstones. He kicked a thick wooden door open and walked into the building with giant steps.
Inside the building, by a fireplace, two middle-aged men raised their heads and glanced at Huaxu Chen, then shook their heads and sighed together.
”Where's Huaxu Lie?” Huaxu Chen yelled at one of the two men. That man was a Huaxu Family elder, also was a cousin and a good friend of his. ”How ridiculous! Where's Si Wen Ming? Where's Ji Hao? Didn't Huaxu Lie and the other boys send any message back?”
”Sit!” The middle-aged man gave Huaxu Chen a bitter smile, then waved a hand and offered Huaxu Chen a seat.
”Sit my a*s! Sitting here doing nothing but drinking like you?” Huaxu Chen stomped his foot against the ground and generated a muffled boom, making countless cyan-colored spell symbols sparkle on the wooden floor, and electrical lights flash through the building. The defensive formation of the wooden building was fully activated, but still, Huaxu Chen managed to leave a half-foot-deep footprint on the floor.
A creaking noise could be heard from the building, as one of the outdoor pillars of the building was quaked broken by Huaxu Chen.
”What help can you do by venting your anger like this?” Suffering a slight headache, Huaxu Rou looked at Huaxu Chen and kept the bitter smile on his face as he said, ”That was an order from Emperor Xun...I know that you're angry, but...”
”But what? Aren't you going to do anything except sitting here?” Huaxu Chen came to the fireplace, picked up a scorching clay pot, and poured the boiling tea into his mouth, then let out a long breath. Throwing the pot into the fire, Huaxu Chen gritted his teeth and took two circles around the fireplace, then finally sat down heavily.
”What can we do? Kill Emperor Xun?” Sitting in front of Huaxu Rou, Huaxu Yang sighed, ”We all know that something is wrong with Emperor Shun...But, all large families and clans supported Emperor Xun. The words of the lowly people carry little weight, and our efforts are useless.”
”If something is wrong with Emperor Shun, we should...” Huaxu Chen widely opened his mouth and burst into a growl, but then, he failed to say any other word out loud. Something was wrong with Emperor Shun, but what could be done? Nothing like this had ever happened before. At the moment, everyone understood that Emperor Shun had a problem, but what exactly had happened to him? Or, more evilly, did Emperor Shun truly have a problem?
Huaxu Chen quivered.
Huaxu Rou and Huaxu Yang glanced at Huaxu Chen and sighed together. Huaxu Rou clapped his hands, hearing which, a maid walked in and put a potful of clean water by the fire. They threw some tea leaves into a clay pot, then poured in some clean water and put the pot on the fire. A while later, a dense aroma of tea suffused the room.
