Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1101 - 1097: Do You Have Any Shame Left?

Daoist Changshan rolled his eyes inwardly.

If he weren’t injured now, he would outright turn against them, but he couldn’t overpower their combined assault.

Daoist Changshan genuinely wanted to grab these people by the collar and demand whether they had any shame!

The housekeeper, originally hiding under the bed, finally understood the situation based on Daoist Changshan’s conversation with them.

A nameless fury rose in his heart; after all, that was Lord Divine Envoy, the esteemed Lord Divine Envoy!

These fellows treated the Lord Divine Envoy like someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will.

"My master will not come; leaving even a sliver of hope for the people of Lotus City is already difficult. Don’t push your luck!"

The housekeeper crawled out from under the bed, his tone extremely cold. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

If his face weren’t still covered with wounds, his imposing presence might be stronger.

All the Dark Masters present focused their thoughts on Daoist Changshan.

They hadn’t noticed that this small hospital room actually had someone hiding under the bed.

Now, with a person suddenly emerging in the room and speaking so bluntly, they were really startled.

"You... who are you?"

The leading Dark Master scrutinized the housekeeper but didn’t recognize him.

However, this person could stay alongside Daoist Changshan, suggesting his identity must be somewhat significant.

The housekeeper wouldn’t have been able to rise in prominence at Wang Family Manor or become a chosen insider by those Black Robed People if he were a simple character.

He immediately discerned what was on these people’s minds.

With a cold huff, he said, "Ha~ Who am I? Weren’t you previously insisting on having my master help you? You tell me who I am!"

These words were uttered with no hint of hesitation.

Being one of the nails under Lord Divine Envoy (Black Robed People), stating Yun Ran as his master wasn’t wrong.

The leading Dark Master looked at the housekeeper, then at Daoist Changshan.

Discovering Daoist Changshan had no intention of refuting, he understood that what the housekeeper said was likely true.

"This... brother, now that Lotus City has encountered such trouble, your master..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the housekeeper interrupted.

"We are just passing through; if it weren’t for our injuries requiring a stay here, my master might not even intervene.

You know the situation in Lotus City is tricky, and surely you understand the magnitude of cause and effect involved.

Constantly asking my master to act — what’s the use of you Dark Masters? Don’t take for granted what you don’t appreciate!"

The housekeeper had heard clearly about another town meeting a similar fate.

Currently, Lord Divine Envoy had already intervened once.

Those talisman papers had bought Lotus City quite some time; the rest was up to its inhabitants to figure out.

Others might not understand the style of Lord Divine Envoy, but those loyal to him did.

Until now, only this Lord Divine Envoy (Yun Ran) exhibited any empathy.

Other Lord Divine Envoys truly treated human lives like ants; not executing people was considered gracious.

Thus, these people must not incur the wrath of the Lord Divine Envoy.

Otherwise, everyone in Lotus City, including himself, would genuinely find no path to survival.

However, the Dark Masters present had no idea that, while the housekeeper was supporting Yun Ran, he was also preventing them from doing something foolish.

After playing the role of the tough negotiator, Daoist Changshan timely interjected, "Gentlemen, it’s not that I refuse to help, but that I simply cannot.

The esteemed one doesn’t have a very agreeable temperament—forcing a request upon him could lead to..."

Daoist Changshan deliberately left his sentence unfinished.

But everyone present clearly understood the implication.

This principle is like how they, being powerful and influential, might occasionally favor a promising junior with kindness.

Yet, if the junior understood nothing about decorum or boundaries, seeking more just because of a small favor...

Not only would they cease to offer kindness, but they might even express displeasure by sending him back to square one.

"Gentlemen, I have done what I can; you see, my injuries involve the core and I surely can offer no help."

At this stage of the conversation, the Dark Masters seeking Daoist Changshan couldn’t persist further.

They thought about flipping the table but lacked the grounds to do so.

Daoist Changshan clearly had the backing of that esteemed one, demanding some respect.

Especially seeing that the esteemed one’s subordinate stood on Daoist Changshan’s side.

What could they possibly do!

Several breaths later, the leading Dark Master suppressed his agitation, barely managing a smile.

"I apologize for the intrusion."

With those words, they retreated from the infirmary’s territory.

Only when their silhouettes completely vanished did Daoist Changshan breathe a sigh of relief.

Up till now, he had been keeping up appearances; now, with no outsiders present, Daoist Changshan felt a chill on his back.

Mumbling to himself, he said, "How did it come to this..."

But soon, Daoist Changshan snapped back to his senses, starting to search for the net bag the Little Paperman had given him earlier.

Yun Ran’s talisman papers were evidently abundant.

The net bag was quickly retrieved, containing several solitary talisman papers.

Daoist Changshan drew out one of the talismans and handed it over to the still-frowning housekeeper.

"You hold onto one; while its exact effect remains unclear, being a gift from the Lord Divine Envoy suggests it’s specifically crafted for this current predicament."

The housekeeper accepted the talisman paper, carefully storing it away almost as if ready to offer it up.

"What exactly is happening now? Is it truly so sinister?"

Although the housekeeper had listened, comprehending was a different matter entirely.

Daoist Changshan also didn’t know what to say; he was equally confused.

"I’ll go and check!"

Ordinarily, at this time, the infirmary staff would be busy organizing medicines in the back courtyard or preparing the day’s provisions.

Yet presently, the infirmary was unnaturally quiet.

Whether they were the old doctors or apprentices, all cast anxious glances at the sky outside.
