Volume 1 - 2 Chapter 125 (2/2)
Bai Yunfei had made sure to note that neither Xiao Hu or he knew each other, and that there should be no special consideration to be had Xiao Hu would be treated as any regular person As it was nothing but a sreed to the request full-heartedly He himself was more than aware that Xiao Hu and Bai Yunfei had only a chance encounter and that it was alain, but the fact that he was connected to a soul cultivator was a good selling point Even if it was a s to Bai Yunfei would serve as an honor and as ‘capital’…
That night, Bai Yunfei was rested upon an i, Bai Yunfei was instead resting his head on his hands while he res
At theback to how the richhiht to the young boy and his grand of hoodlue his ‘destiny’ irrevocably But for some reason, there had been a ‘melancholic’ spirit to him
He hier was he a coer whenever berated with insults frole person
”One day, there’ll be a time when my little Yunfei will be like the clouds in the sky as they float across the azure skies with complete freedom”
The sweet and endearing words of his ht arm to rise up in front of his face to have his pal ”Mother, I’ve becoe person I can do so s I could only dream of before It has been a relaxed life ever since…is this the ‘freedom’ you talked about?”
”But…” Bai Yunfei then thought back to his previous grievances with the Glacial School and then how he had been chased by the Soul Ancestor in Yanlin City It had only been by the assistance of another that he ed to escape with his life
”Perhaps this is only te, and I can only ‘fly freely’ for a ser than that Even if I bother no one, there is no guarantee that trouble won’t coer people thaner!”
”Further forced into this Mother, I feel that growing stronger is a thing to be happy about; it’s not a burden at all I’ve taken plenty of risks with soul cultivators, soul techniques, soul iterade technique…I feel that there’s still so muchthat is to …Mother, please don’t worry about me anymore Your child will continue to live in freedom and in peace I won’t disappoint you…”
The an to think about the hazy ht about the bits and pieces he had of his grandfather His line of thought had been so fast that by the end of it all, Bai Yunfei had been unable to go to sleep in peace or cultivate
With nothing else to do, Bai Yunfei let out a s to the s, he leapt out and prepared to take a stroll around
”Eh?” As soon as he landed on the streets, Bai Yunfei let out a s his head to look at the rooftop–there had been a person standing on top of it…
……
On the rooftops, a figure wearing white robes could be seen sitting there with their head staring up at the bright ed over as if thinking about so Xiao Bai was on their shoulder and would occasionally hop around the shoulder and chirp as if to console the person
The pittering-pattering sounds of footsteps had caused Tang Xinyun to be alarave a nod at the Bai Yunfei down below Bringing her head back up to look at the night sky, Tang Xinyun now looked even loomy than before
”What’s wrong? Miss Tang, what could you be thinking about this late at night?” Bai Yunfei hopped on over to aXinyun as he asked
For a briefXinyun hesitated when she looked to Bai Yunfei But then giving a light nod of her head, she opened her mouth to speak ”I…mister Bai, I wanted to thank you And I wanted…to say sorry…”
”Haha, what are you thanking ies aren’t needed either” Bai Yunfei s, don’t think too much about today’s events…”
”How did I do nothing wrong? Because of randive theold coins, then this wouldn’t have happened in the first place…” Drooping her head, she spoke with guilt creeping in onto her voice, ”But…I really thought I was helping the like that would happen…”
”Now that I think about it, whenever I did this in the past, aunty Zhao would always find an excuse to leaveXinyun shook her head, ”And to think I was so naive to believe that I was helping them live a better life This is the price of my self-satisfaction I suppose…”
”Aunty Zhao was only protecting your innocence and goodwill…” Bai Yunfei tried to console her
Tang Xinyun gave a bitter laugh, ”I know that I know that aunty Zhao always acts in my best interest Even back home, she would be like this And even now, she reht I knew everything But now I realize that I don’t know anything about the outside world at all”
”But aren’t you understanding hoorks now? The more you learn, the more you understand That’s what it means to travel, is it not? When you think back to these mistakes you did in the future, you will cherish them as a lesson you learned from”
Bai Yunfei had no other ideas on how to console Tang Xinyun, so when he saw that she was still glooot the chance to ask you What reason did you have for traveling to the outside world anyways?”
Bai Yunfei had tried to change to subject to distract her fro Xinyun fall even deeper into her depression after the question was asked
”I…wanted to get stronger I want to beconore me I want to be able to protectXinyun whispered nearly silently after a period of silence
Bai Yunfei too had grown silent after listening to her speak Sighing, he responded, ”Miss Tang, you shouldn’t be depressed like this For the sake of your mother, you must smile, even if there is a lot to shoulder Yourhappy would be the greatest desire of hers…”
”I too want to beco to exhaustion and suffering all there is to suffer, I would be willing But alas, I no longer have the chance for that…”
Bai Yunfei had originally started out as the one co Xinyun But all of a sudden, her depression had spread over to hi Xinyun to be surprised And for a small while, the scenery on the rooftop had descended into a temporary stillness
