Chapter 302: Reunion Between Mother and Daughter

<hr />

The courtyard wasn’t large by any means, only a few rooms and a fairly small outdoor area In the middle of the courtyard was a stone table with stone stools, and on the right was an old tree with a trunk as thick as an arm The leaves on the tree were sparse, and the tree was yellowing by a s A purple vine was growing around the trunk and tree branches, but even that vine was slowly fading in color, as if it was on the verge of death

A figure in white was on the ground underneath the tree The wo the area Several strands of her hair would soround

When Bai Yunfei walked into the courtyard, the very first thing he saas the wo her left hand to brush her hair behind her ear--exactly like Tang Xinyun’s habit

Clearly engrossed in her work, the wo Xinyun or Bai Yunfei until they were far into the courtyard A serene sreet her visitors

As soon as her eyes landed on Tang Xinyun, the smile on her face froze Likewise, her hands stopped what they were doing as their owner stared blankly at Tang Xinyun The weeds that were in her hands fell to the ground and dirt landed on her white robes, but the woman didn’t seem to notice

Even Tang Xinyun ceased walking to stare when the woman turned around However, her eyes weren’t as blank as the woman’s Her eyes were filled with excitement

Moments went by as the tomen stared at one another in silence

It was Tang Xinyun as the first to break the silence Her red lips slowly opened as she said with a quavering voice, ”Mo--mother, I’m home…”

……

And so theto disturb the two, Bai Yunfei walked over to the stone table and sat down A small silver knife appeared in his hand, and he started to toy around it with Every so often, he’d look over to where the other tith a small smile

Since thetime, there was plenty to catch up on As such, they were inside while Bai Yunfei stood guard outside

”Creaakkkk…”

The door to the roo his head, Bai Yunfei watched the tomen sloalk out

Tang Xinyun’s eyes were slightly red, but her lips were curled in a cheerful smile

Tang Xinyun’s hter to Bai Yunfei and sreet him ”Lord Bai, Xinyun has toldafter her and for bringing her here Thank you for all your troubles…”

Her voice was soft, but succinct to the ears, just like Tang Xinyun’s Not even a wrinkle could be seen on Chu Qingxue’s pale-white skin,it extre Xinyun’sXinyun had once said to hi her older years

But the woht now looked no older than thirty-five at most

”Haha, auntie, please just call ave an uneasy s School, so it’s only natural that we look after one another There’s no need for auntie to be so polite”

His personality sohter had told her plenty about Bai Yunfei, like hoas the disciple of the ex-head School and how talented and unordinary he was, but the fact that he was surprisingly ‘shy’ was a nice contrast, earning him several favors in her book

Sxue asked hio into Mo City and look around?”

”I don’t have any plans for visiting anywhere I’ll just wait for Xinyun to enjoy her ti School In the meantime, thank you very much for your hospitality, auntie…” He replied after giving the question soht

”Haha, then you xue pointed to one of the spare rooms off to the left, ”Make yourself at ho the next few days, but… some of the places in this residence are off-limits I’m sure Xinyun told you before, the two of us are…”

Bai Yunfei shook his hand before she finished that thought, ”Don’t worry, auntie I won’t go where I’m not supposed to”

The three of them sat at the stone table and continued to talk Now that she was reunited with herXinyun looked a lot happier than before; it showed on her face She spoke excitedly about several interesting things she saw or heard with Zhao Mancha on their way to the Crafting School She even shared several stories about her ti School

Bai Yunfei listened to her talk from the side and smiled whenever she did He felt happy; to see her set here worth it

”My lady,miss is back, is it true?!”

All of a sudden, the ‘loud’ voice of another person broke the flow of conversation before a rush of orange light swiftly flew into the courtyard

The voice caused Bai Yunfei’s heart to suddenly stop beating He thought about ju away, but before he could even er, the person was already in front of the three
