Chapter 617: Chapter 180 Too much_2 Chapter 617: Chapter 180 Too much_2 “What’s wrong with you, huh? Are you just plain stupid?”

He Bibiqu said furiously, “Master Ling was delivered straight into your hands! It’s like a windfall, a heaven-sent opportunity! Yet somehow, you failed to seize it!”

He Xiangming wiped the sweat off her forehead, said weakly, “Uncle, I also wanted to, but there are lots of downsides to just incarcerating him. If we mess up, we might end up with a formidable enemy. Isn’t it better for us to have a slow and steady cooperation, to slowly heat the rocks even with the smallest fire?”

He Bibiqu nearly had a stroke from his raging anger, “Huh? Incarcerate? Who told you to do that? What the hell have you learned from the Beast Taming Sect?! Can’t you learn something useful?!”

“Even if you haven’t done it, your readiness to resort to such underhanded measures proved that you thought about it, and even considered how to execute it. You only abandoned the idea after weighing the pros and cons! As an unmarried young woman, do you feel no shame in harboring such vicious thoughts? How disgraceful!”

A confused expression spread across He Xiangming’s face.

Incarceration? Not that?

Then what do you mean by ‘seize’?

Haven’t I seized it already?

What on earth are you talking about?

“I mean this: such a perfect husband material was practically delivered to you. But, you didn’t take it! What were you thinking!?”

He Bibiqu was exasperated: “Ling Yunduan is unmarried, you and Yun Ying are also yet to be married. Such a wonderful man had appeared before you. It’s a heavenly match, an arranged marriage since your past life. Yet you didn’t see it… all you think about is cooperation. Are you stupid or what?”

He Xiangming was dumbfounded.

This?

From this angle, I… I’ve never thought about it!

But is it really alright for you to express such a thought so blatantly, Uncle? You criticized me for thinking about ‘incarcerating’ him. Does that mean seducing him would be the right way to go?

“This is not what I mean exactly…”

He Xiangming finally voiced the feelings of injustice she had within her.

“Nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense!”

He Bibiqu roared in anger, “When a man and a woman, both unmarried, develop a romantic relationship, that’s the natural order of things. It’s the essence of the Great Dao, the harmonious fusion of Yin and Yang that keeps life going! What is so wrong about this? What unhealthy thoughts are you harboring?”

“He is not a married man nor are you a married woman. As long as you both agree, this is the right way to follow. How could that violate social ethics or break the national laws?”

He Bibiqu fretted deeply over her niece’s convoluted line of thought.

He Xiangming looked increasingly confused, her head bobbing as if she was struggling to understand.

Uncle, everything you say appeares to be the truth, huh?

Are you sure this is what you really think and want to do? Can your conscience bear it?!

“What a real miss!”

“A heaven-sent opportunity was right under your nose, but you missed it!”

He Bibiqu heaved a long sigh, “Now Master Ling… I guess he must have returned, but I don’t know if the opportunity is still there for you.”

“He’s back?”

He Xiangming’s face instantly lit up with joy. Now I can go back to business? Can I finally escape this living hell and get away from the devil-like uncle?

“If I am not wrong… he is probably back.”

He Bibiqu sighed as he stroked his beard, wondering in his heart if Master Ling was really Doctor Feng.

If he really is…

He turned to glance at his niece again, only to have his anger rise once more.

If both identities truly belonged to the same person, his niece had missed out on this golden opportunity for a husband. Such wastefulness! What a loss! This can’t but make heaven and earth indignant!

A man pursuing a woman and a woman chasing a man should be such a simple thing. But such a great marriage was just missed out, how unfortunate!

“You should go see him. If anything important comes up, be sure to report it to me immediately!” He Bibiqu waved his hand dismissively.

“Yes!”

Like a prisoner freed, He Xiangming quickly got up, instantly feeling her body relieved.

Finally, she could leave this place.

This is not a place for humans to stay.

“Remember to report anything important to me immediately!”

He Bibiqu’s eyes flared with anger, “Dare to hide anything, and I’ll beat you to death!”

“Yes, yes, I understand, grandfather.”

“Forget it, I’ll head to your place tomorrow night. If anything comes up, I can deal with it promptly.”

He Bibiqu felt that the threat of ‘beating to death’ was not scary enough for his niece, so he changed his approach.

“Huh?”

“What do you mean ‘huh’? Get out!”

He Xiangming scampered away.

At this time, Leopard Elder had already been waiting in the outer sitting room so long that his pot of tea had lost its color…

“My apologies for not welcoming you earlier, Elder Leopard.”

He Bibiqu wore an apologetic smile, which was a stark contrast to his fury when reprimanding He Xiangming earlier.

“I was busy lecturing the younger generation of my family just now… Ah, it really takes a lot out of a person to raise kids.”

He Bibiqu commented.

“I understand.”

Leopard Elder smiled politely, “Both humans and beasts alike worry about their offsprings.”

“Haha, yes, in this life, we’re just paying back the debt to our children and grandchildren.”

He Bibiqu shared a moment of sentimentality with Leopard Elder.

When two old foxes meet, they typically avoid going straight to the point.
