Chapter 14: Kneel Down Already!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“For thousands of years, the Saint has never bothered to look into worldly affairs or get close to anyone. In fact, all he ever did was isolate himself or quietly meditate. Everything within the clans was managed by Leader Yu.” 

Feng Ruchu couldn’t help but picture the old priest from ‘Journey to the West’ who would often sit cross-legged and meditate with a fly-whisk in his hand. Feng Ruchu rubbed her chin with a serious face as she pictured it. “Old men tend to feel slow and tired all the time, I understand. The Saint has indeed demonstrated what it means by ‘life lies in stillness’. Look at all the other centenarians, don’t they live the same way the Saint does?” 

“Centenarian?! Oh, young lady!” The black cat was so shocked at what Feng Ruchu said that she almost fainted. 

“She is disrespectful, Your Grace! I shall teach her a lesson!” Beside the Xuan Tian Mirror, Ling Bai looked at Feng Ruchu who was poking the black cat with a stick, his heroic face full of anger. 

He can’t believe the Saint made a trip to the sacrificial site and brought back a filthy girl, even breaking the history of there never being any females in the Holy Cloud Palace! What was worse was that the girl didn’t even seem grateful, and actually compared their mighty Saint to a centenarian! 

Ling Bai marched towards where Feng Ruchu was angrily, about to confront her, when the girl suddenly disappeared in the mirror and showed up in the hall they were at. 

Although she knew she was in some kind of magical fantasy land, Feng Ruchu was still completely astonished when she was teleported to the hall. 

She had just been teasing the cat outside her chamber, and now she had suddenly appeared in the hall. 

Feng Ruchu frowned unhappily. 

He let that fat cat follow her when he had a skill that she had only seen in video games – the skill of teleporting. 

Didn’t he know that she was weak and sick? 

What kind of Saint had no empathy at all? 

“This is outrageous! You are to kneel and greet the Saint!” Ling Bai bellowed when he saw how Feng Ruchu knew no etiquette at all. 

Feng Ruchu who had been silently complaining about the Saint was stunned. She scratched her head and looked around the hall, then pointed at herself and asked innocently, “are you talking to me?” 

“Isn’t that obvious? Who else is here besides you?” Ling Bai shouted, “Kneel down already!” 

“Oh…” Feng Ruchu did not talk back this time. She lifted her skirt and bent her knees obediently. 

However, she bent her knees very slowly, as if her joints were stiff. After several attempts, Feng Ruchu looked at Ling Bai in disappointment. “I really was going to kneel but you were too fierce and my limbs became stiff from fear. Just look at me, I can’t even bend my knees….” 

Feng Ruchu made her knees tremble exaggeratedly. 

They wanted her to kneel to an old man who had tried to kill her at a sacrificial ceremony? Looks like the people from the Holy Cloud Palace were not that smart! 

“You-!” Ling Bai was so mad that his face turned red. This wretched girl had done it on purpose! 

“Leave us, Ling Bai,” said an emotionless voice from behind the veil of the highest seat in the hall.
