Journey to the End of the Night

Chapter 517: Chapter 511: The Stele Cloud Disperses

Baili Valley looked slightly puzzled. “What?”

Unbeknownst to him, the withered vine on the floor had grown several inches longer and twisted distractingly on the ground. Baili An patiently coiled the vine up his sleeves bit by bit, saying, “I paid for this guest room. It is somewhat reasonable for the two brothers from the Fang Family to burst in furiously through the door, but you and Fang Geyu are neither kin nor acquaintances. Yet you broke in through the window, rambling non-stop on your own terms. Is this supposed to be reasoning?”

Baili An tilted his head slightly, looking seriously at him. “Even children know to knock on the door before entering a house, uncle. I think you’re even more of a mess than those unruly kids.”

With the simplest and most straightforward logic, he instantly overturned Baili Valley’s pretext of morality.

A person who doesn’t even know basic manners, how can he speak of any reason?

If you wish to lecture the younger generation, please be a highly respected elder first, go and properly knock on the door before entering.

Of course, given Baili Valley’s status, naturally, he would not do such a thing. Smiling, he scrutinized Baili An from head to toe, then changing the subject, said, “We are just trying to find out the truth about what happened that day. After all, why only the young lady of the Fang Family perished in that world? After all, master, you were the last to leave the Bronze Gate. None of us know what exactly happened there, right?”

Baili An’s expression turned distantly cool. “The events of that day were complex. I will indeed inform City Lord Fang truthfully, but currently, I have neither the need nor the obligation to satisfy your curiosity, do I?”

Baili Valley smiled silently.

Instead, Fang Zhuozhong sneered, “Do you genuinely not know or are you pretending not to know? When Valley Lord was reigning, he was not just the king of a nation but also a Judicial Envoy personally anointed by the Heavenly Gods in the heavens. After his tribulation, he became a judicial officer in the Immortal World. If he questions you, you will have to satisfy his curiosity.”
