Red Strings of Connections

Chapter 13 A Chance for a Life Time

They saw how the man humiliate the poor naked woman while Meng Yao tries to help the woman but completely helpless. The drank man was about to punch the errand boy but Wei Ying intervened by grabbing the man's arms by his two arms. Tiao Reishun blinks, Myo Ning looks at her, both were confused, they glance at Wei Ying's previous location where he is supposedly standing but of course it is empty. They're not hallucinating! Their Brother Ying really jumps there!

The man tries to shake Wei Ying off, this time the errand boy grabs his other arm preventing the punch to land at Wei Ying. Tiao Reishun palmed her face, Myo Ning is panicking and afraid of what would happen to their brother.

Tiao Reishun clicks her tongue and takes out her fan, she was about to jump at the scene but halted by the appearance of a very familiar man behind the drunkard.

Wei Ying doesn't know whether he should be feel relief or be afraid, nevertheless he really did felt relief but also scared which makes him a decision to let go, and grabs Meng Yao, assuring him that they are alright now, Meng Yao listened and let go, crouch down at the naked woman, while Wei Ying stood in front of them , facing the drunkard that being confuse on the turn of events. Tiao Reishun and Myo Ning runs towards their brother.

The newcomer grabs the drunkard's wrist and twist it in swift movement. The drunkard wail in pain and glares at the helper, and his eyes widen in fright as the first thing he saw is black robes with golden edges and the most notable the black, red, and yellow tassel earring with bird iron, which made him stop struggling.

Over the years the Zhuque sect has gain great reputation that they are now in line up of well-known prominent sects, so it's no question that their notable bird iron with black, red, and yellow tassel could bring either fear or respect, based on the person and situation of course.

Myo Ning is literally scare now in completely different reason. The three sures and readies themselves for scolding later.

Tiao Reishun sighs, they haven't enjoyed the night market and they're already going to get an earful.

Ko Shun'U appears and taps Tiao Liujuan shoulder, trying to act all cool and innocent but...

"Going to brothel and adultery are forbidden on our sect! Aren't you're the ones that made that rule?!"

"That's..."

"And aren't you supposedly in day off?! What are you doing leading them on such a place?!" Tiao Liujuan gives an earful to the other adult that he totally forgot that he still holding the drunkard that in fear couldn't be able to break free nor even ask to be let go.

The kids witness the exchanged and snickers, not a rare sight at all.

Ko Shun 'U shrinks at Tiao Liujuan current presence, the always playful, gentle, and motherly-like head is like have a pair of horns and big fangs right now.

The three children and the sinner adult are now being secluded by Tiao Liujuan. It's been like this since right the start so the kids—just Wei Ying and Tiao Reishun—are already used, but Myo Ning is in verge of tears as this is one of rarest moment where he was scold.

"This is a good experience A-Ning!" Wei Ying whispers, which Tiao Reishun hears and agree.

Myo Ning only sighs in defeated, 'This two are so carefree!'

Tiao Liujuan stops at scolding them when he realized that the errand boy from brothel is standing not-so-far away from them and watches their amusing scene. Tiao Liujuan turns to him, his sudden silence makes Wei Ying and the rest to feel relief and looks up at him then at Meng Yao, not moving from their sitting position.

After some moment of staring session, Wei Ying stands up and run towards the errand boy.

Wei Ying, "How are you? Did that old man come back?"
