Yu Lin Bloodhawk understood. So that Household Guard officer reported my little outburst to Sorens. Maybe the officer believed what I said, but then I immediately sent him to fetch the Old Charlatan. The old man might have thought I was insulting him. Now he's come to demand an explanation!
"I wasn't talking about you. If you all insist on taking it personally, what does that have to do with me?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk muttered. Knowing he was in the wrong, he naturally sounded less than confident.
"Hmph!" The Old Charlatan snorted irritably, then continued, still simmering, "What exactly did you call me over for? If you've got something to say, hurry up. I'm busy!"
Yu Lin Bloodhawk cursed inwardly. Busy? Busy, my ass! You think I don't know whether you're busy? If I hadn't called you over, you might have been squatting outside the cave counting ants out of boredom, you old bastard! What the hell are you busy with?
But Yu Lin Bloodhawk didn't dare say that now. Normally, a remark like that wouldn't have mattered, but the Old Charlatan was still angry. How could he dare? If this unfathomable old bastard suddenly unleashed some powerful move on him, he might not drop dead on the spot, but he would certainly suffer.
Even Sylvanas and Alleria were wary of the man. If Yu Lin Bloodhawk actually believed his claims about being old and frail, he really would be a fool.
Of course, Yu Lin Bloodhawk never admitted aloud that he feared the old fellow. He always claimed that he possessed noble character and was an outstanding, promising young man with ideals, morals, education, and discipline. That was why he respected the elderly and cared for the young! Yes, yes! He respected the elderly and cared for the young
