Chapter 323 - 323. Meet Mr. Shin
"Don't tell me you visited because you needed healing pills?"
"Judging from the direction where you're going, it looks like you already want to leave the palace? And without resorting to me first?"
"And your cloak? It seems that you intend to trick me?" Accused Mr. Shin without giving Jiao any time to speak.
"Tell me, why did you visit the palace? You already know, even your leader, Master Zyn, has to meet me first before entering the palace," the man added as he watched Jiao's appearance from head to toe.
Every Fryz who is in the inner region if they want to visit the Fairy palace must be with Master Shin's knowledge, all of that is to respect him as the strongest leader of the Fryz, even Mr. Zyn must also be polite to him.
"And what robe are you wearing? Those aren't Fryz's robes."
"Are you playing with me?"
"Seems like you don't respect me as the leader of the fryz in this area," he said again, constantly chattering.
Hearing all those words, Jiao was inflamed. The man was at a loss for words.
It's not that he doesn't respect Master Shin, it's just that he doesn't want to get into trouble with him if he finds out about his arrival.
Because he knew for sure, that Master Shin would not let him enter the palace so easily, especially if he knew his purpose considering how angry the middle-aged man had been a moment ago.
"Why are you silent?" said Mr. Shin still with his hands crossed to his chest.
"Are the Inner Territory Fryz dying? Huh, it's your fault for treating us this way."
"And don't expect you to get any more help from me."
"W-we apologize, Master," stuttered Jiao finally regained his voice.
"Then excuse me," added Jiao as he bowed, intending to leave the place as soon as possible. Not because he was afraid of the middle-aged man, but rather because he was very worried about Miss Xie Lan.
"Who let you go?"
"It turns out that not only do you not respect me but you also don't respect me as the Fryz Leader of the Core Region. You think that after I was treated like that, you could get away with it and walk away?" said Mr. Shin in a voice that sounded so cynical.
Jiao's body stiffened, the feeling of luck he had felt a moment ago suddenly vanished. "Sorry in advance Master, it's not that I disrespect Master Shin. As a fellow Fryz, of course, I respect you."
"Only this time, I deeply beg you to let me go. My friend is hurt, Master."
"Where's that girl you glorify? Did she run away? Didn't she come back? Huh...I thought so."
"You guys are really stupid to judge the situation, you can't even tell who is to be trusted and who is not."
"I wonder why Master Zyn made you part of the Fryz."
"Not only that, but you guys also don't want to hear me and even refuse my help."
"Hearing you apologize like that. Who cares? Even if all the Fryz in the inner region dies, I don't care. After all, the palace can recruit new Fryz again," said Master Shin lightly.
Jiao who heard all of Mr. Shin's words could only stroke his chest patiently. Because it seems, in the current situation and conditions, even silence would be wrong in the eyes of the middle-aged man, especially if he fought him?
"Once again I apologize, Master. If allowed, I would like to return to the inner region," said Jiao in a low and friendly voice.
"No. Before you give away all the pills you obtained from the palace," Master Shin replied right away.
"I-I didn't receive any pills, Master. Really," said Jiao. He couldn't believe that the leader of Fryz would say something like that to him.
"Is that true?"
"Then what are you doing in this palace?"
"Th-that... I..."
"You... search him," Master Shin ordered to the few Fryz who followed him, he didn't even wait for Jiao's words to finish. One corner of his lips lifted, smirking.
"No... not Master. I don't accept pills from the palace," Jiao replied refusing.
"No one allowed you to refuse. Do you know? I'm in charge of the Fairy Palace's security. Who knows you took some palace items without anyone knowing," said Master Shin. Not only being the Fryz Leader of the core region, but Master Shin is also someone in charge of palace security.
The middle-aged man was furious with the Fryz in the inner region because he felt he had been mistreated a while ago. He did not expect that a little mouse would offer to be an outlet for what he felt.
"Fast!! What are you waiting for? Search him!" Master Shin ordered again.
"Using an ordinary fairy robe, I am increasingly convinced that your purpose for visiting this palace is not as simple as asking for healing pills."
Immediately several Fryz stepped forward carrying out Master Shin's orders.
Jiao who saw three Fryz walking towards him, just stood still. If it's like this, avoiding it will only prolong the problem. Luckily some spirit stones and other items that he had moved into the cloak pocket that he had hidden in the tree. So they wouldn't be able to find anything on his body.
But that thought only lasted a few seconds before one of the Fryz took out the small package Teacher Liu had given him a few minutes ago.
"No, don't take that thing," said Jiao trying to grab what was in Fryz's hand who was standing right next to him.
"This is Master," said the Fryz as he handed a small package into Master Shin's hand without paying any heed to Jiao.
"No, it's mine, Mr. Shin, please return it to me," Jiao whined.
"Search again," said the middle-aged man again giving orders.
Until a few seconds passed, all of Jiao's clothes had been searched.
"No more, sir," said one of the Fryz which was then nodded by the other two Fryz.
"Is that true?" One of Master Shin's eyebrows rose at his subordinate's response.
"What's this?" asked the middle-aged man again as he held up a small green package right in front of Jiao's face.
"T-that..."
"Why stutter like that? You just need to answer," Master Shin interrupted.
To be honest, Jiao is already very annoyed with the man, because Mr. Shin has always cut his words at will. Jiao knew that the man was a leader of Fryz who had such strong fairy powers, but that can not be used as an excuse to treat other people arbitrarily.
"Don't want to answer it?" asked Mr. Shin when he saw Jiao was silent.
"Then let's see what's in this little package," he said again with a chuckle that managed to make Jiao's ears heat up.
"Why does a leader like you have this kind of attitude? You should be ashamed, with your position as the leader of the Fryz, you shouldn't treat others lightly," said Jiao with emotions that finally broke out.
