CHAPTER 1052: 1129: A GENTLEMAN USES WORDS, NOT FISTS.

"But with Jade’s music, everything changed. I could finally sleep, and all those raging thoughts in my mind melted away like ice. Yesterday, under the soothing sound of his music, I slept well. But now, I spent all of last night awake, and today I’ve been staying up again..." As he spoke, he sounded more and more aggrieved. In the end, he glared, slamming the table, "Old fool!! To think I once respected you so much, yet you won’t let me sleep, ah ah ah—! I’ll kill you, I want to kill you!!"

Yi Ran looked fierce, waving his hands like he wanted to scratch Elder Sun’s face, but Elder Sun just stretched out his arm and pushed down on his head with a smack.

Elder Sun was a typical Dajin man; men from Dajin were generally over 1.8 meters tall, while Yi Ran was a bit shorter, with arms not as long as Elder Sun’s. With Elder Sun holding his head, he could only wave his hands and kick around, unable to touch Elder Sun at all.

He was so furious inside, grinding his teeth in anger!

Elder Sun continued drinking tea, "I kept you here only because I have something to ask you. Once you explain everything, you’ll be free to leave."

Yi Ran calmed down and snorted coldly, "Spit it out if you have something to say, hurry up if you have to fart!"

Elder Sun squinted his eyes, "Seems like you think I’m too old to beat you up?"

Yi Ran retreated in a panic, jumping far away, with an ugly expression as he covered his butt. "Ju-Ju-Jun... A gentleman uses his words, not his fists! Elder? Elder! See, I’m all grown up now, and... and your shoe soles are so clean, if you hit me and they get dirty, you’ll have to clean them again, isn’t that such a waste?"

"Ha!"

Yi Ran nervously swallowed and then, like a little chick, he admitted defeat. He confessed properly, "I was wrong, Elder?"

To be honest, in his life, there were very few people who dared to beat him. His master was one, Shu Yu was another, and there were those two heartless, ungrateful people from his sect. If not them, then it was this Elder Sun, and back then... when those things happened, he had been beaten too.

His expression turned somber as he unwillingly recalled those past events. But he had no choice, those things, ever since they happened, he hadn’t forgotten them for a single moment. Even in the past years, while living in Dajin to recuperate, the trauma from back then tormented him night and day, which was exactly why he couldn’t sleep often.

Elder Sun saw his gloomy demeanor and knew he must have been thinking about those unpleasant memories again. He sighed and then asked, "That friend with the surname Dong, who is she? And the one afflicted by witchcraft, the one who was bewitched, what is their relationship with her?"

Yi Ran furrowed his brows slightly, "I don’t know much either, Jade isn’t one to talk about his family matters with others. Also, because I’ve been in Dajin for the past years, only recently, after recovering, did I return to Dayuan. However... considering today’s situation in South City, I can infer a bit."

Yi Ran spoke in an almost hoarse voice, "Originally... in South City, that person was... in control. Charles was her right-hand man, but recently Charles supposedly died by someone using Gu poison. There’s a rumor that my second senior sister did it, but today Lady Dong made Mind-bewitching Powder, which shows she has delved deep into the Poison Gu Branch. I think it’s very likely that Charles died by her hand."
