Collecting the Co, Bai Yunfei let out a yawn before laying on his bed
”I’ll rest up first and then upgrade the rest of my equipment later…”
…………
On the second day, when everyone filed out fro Xinyun ca out of the doors, she earing yet another white-robe and revealed a faint sed The only difference noas the fact that perched on her right shoulder was a s it with detail, one would realize this bird was clearly the very sale-sized Quickshade Bird from yesterday
”Miss Tang, is that…” Seeing the white bird, Bai Yunfei slowly realized who it was, but he did not fully voice his question Jing Mingfeng and Tian had both crowded forward to curiously stare at the bird
”Yes, it’s the very saht now It’s theXinyun nodded her head with a smile When she tilted her head to look at the bird, she said, ”Xiao Bai, do you reive them your thanks…”
”Xi-Xiao Bai…” Jing Mingfeng felt stunned Giving Bai Yunfei a queer look, his face then began to twitch Hooking Tian by the arm, the two of them quickly moved to the side to chuckle in an evil manner
Bai Yunfei couldn’t help but feel his lips twitch as well For some reason, when he heard the naht had been ”Xiao Bai? Why does that sound like a na?”
”Chirrrp!!” As if sensing the hter, the Quickshade Bird, ”Xiao Bai,” let out a disgruntled chirp before beating its wings to take flight
”What’s going on? What’s wrong with the na Xinyun found the reaction of everyone there to be strange, so she had asked questions in confusion
”No, it’s nothing Xiao Bai is a good na interjected fro to Bai Yunfei with an earnest look, ”What about you, Gramps Bai?”
At those tords, he had to leap into the air in order to dodge the kick Bai Yunfei had sent at hi ran ahead
”That…” Tang Xinyun had heard the final remark and couldn’t help but lookat Bai Yunfei with an embarrassed expression
”Haha,should be ready to set out now We should go with them We should be able to reach Guyi City by the end of today…” Bai Yunfei sroup set off once more
…………
By night tiroup reached their destination -- Guyi City
The group slowly disbanded while Huang Wan dealt with the negotiations Bai Yunfei, Tang Xinyun, and the others wandered through the streets, strolling around Huang Wan had said that they would be staying in the Prosperity Inn tonight He also thanked Bai Yunfei and the others for their ‘protection’ At the saht time preparations had been made for them as well
It ith great relaxation that everyone walked through the streets Tianhout the city Every so often, he would nitpick at thethat the so-and-so store in Gaoyi City had better merchandise and that this store didn’t have the sa for whatever reason…
When Jing Mingfeng accidentally brought up thepuffed out his cheeks and said with disgruntlement, ”Don’t talk about it That family bores me to death! The kids of my second and third uncle always bully me, and my older brother is alith father He’s rarely at hoht,trouble with theht withdown! And there’s nanny as well, she spends the entire day chattering and nagging away! It bores me to tears I tell you! I don’t even want to see her, I…”
Halfway through his speech, there was a sudden queer atmosphere that descended over the area When he turned his head to look, he realized that Bai Yunfei and the others were all giving him a look as if there was some… discontent?
”Wha-what’s wrong?” Tian He felt his neck draithin itself as if questioning his words
Bai Yunfei let out a light sigh as he prepared earnest explanation, ”Tian, allow me to speak honestly You shouldn’t talk about your family that way Furthermore, you shouldn’t treat therandparents, they are still people you should respect The ‘loving care’ they provide you is sonore and cannot hate If it were not for the fact that I know that your heart isn’t in your words, then I would have long since ceased any relationshi+p I had with you Out of everything in life, filial piety is the most important A person that doesn’t understand that is not a friend of mine”
”That’s… I…” Tian anxious
”You probably won’t understand it completely just yet, but I hope that you will come to realize it sooner rather than later…” Bai Yunfei gave hi a small child, ”Do you knohat it means to be a ‘family?’
”Wha?” Tian shook his head blankly as if lost by Bai Yunfei’s question
Bai Yunfei pointed in front of them, ”That That is what ‘family’ is”
Just a hundred ures could be seen sitting on the ground There was a child that looked to be twelve or thirteen years old His clothes were in a dilapidated state, and they revealed the nearly pearly-white ared as if he had not showered in days Yet, in his hand was half a stea to carefully feed, piece by piece, a woe of seventy
The old woainst the wall Her clothes were torn, but her white hair was not as frazzled as the child Instead, it had neatly been co than the small child, but her eyes had sunk into her face, and were clearly dim in comparison to the norm
The stea child brought out a bowl He started to let the woman drink from it
At that le copper coin The young child’s face lit up as he picked up the coin Kneeling on the ground, the child koed to the one who had given hi back to the wo out of excitement to her…
With flashi+ng eyes, Bai Yunfei began to walk towards them
”Nolike this… But even as hard as the times are, you must never leave each other This… this is what it means to have family…”
