”Teacher, I went to the western part of the country, so...” Bai Hongfei answered, a bit embarrassed. He glanced at his skin and noticed that it was indeed very tanned.
”Did you contact your family?” Mo Fan asked him.
”Oh, I haven't. I just came back. I heard that you had established Fanxue Mountain, so I came here right away...” Bai Hongfei said.
”Will you die if you give your family a call? I have no clue how your sister found out that you left home and went on an adventure because of my influence. She kept asking me to be responsible for it!” Mo Fan sighed, ”You better tell your sister that you're back in one piece, or else she's going to block my apartment's entrance with a knife in her hand!” Mo Fan scolded him.
Mo Fan only learned Bai Tingting was Bai Hongfei's sister after he went off on his adventure.
He had initially treated Bai Tingting as an acquaintance, but their relationship completely changed after she found out her brother had left because of him.
”I...I'm scared of talking to her. She will definitely ask me to go back home in tears. I'm worried that I might compromise because of it and go back home. I didn't dare listen to her voice for the sake of my cultivation,” Bai Hongfei explained reluctantly.
”Mm, mm, you're right. A man must have his ambitions. I'm glad that you said so. I will relay your intentions to Bai Tingting. She won't have to worry about taking me down with her life, she's going to be busy teaching her merciless brother a lesson,” Mo Fan said with a nod.
”...” Bai Hongfei was left speechless. It had been so long, yet his teacher was still so good at entrapping others.
”Teacher, Bai Hongfei is interested in joining our Fanxue Mountain,” Cao Qinqin blurted out happily.
”Ah? Aren't you the successor of the Bai Clan? You shouldn't joke around like that. Our Fanxue Mountain has no place for someone like you. You should go home,” Mo Fan said.
The Bai Clan had an exceedingly high reputation in the Magic City. Even the Mu Clan was inferior to them, yet the little successor of the Bai Clan was planning to join Fanxue Mountain. Wouldn't the people of the Bai Clan come and raze the Fanxue Mountain to the ground?!
”Teacher, please hear me out! Even if I accept my role as a successor, I have no choice but to follow the path my clan has arranged for me, not to mention that I'm far from qualified to be the successor. It won't do me any good. After all, the elders will still decide everything for the clan! I'll let them do as they please for now… I have been staying in Fanxue Mountain for a few days. I noticed how ideal of a place it is for me. Everything is new and full of challenges. I'm able to learn more and grow stronger here. I can assume personal responsibility for the things I do!” Bai Hongfei said confidently.
Bai Hongfei scratched his head. He did not know what else to say. Mo Fan was being utterly straightforward. He had given up the ridiculous inheritance of his clan in the Magic City just to join Fanxue Mountain...
”Teacher, aren't you going to let Bai Hongfei stay? Fanxue Mountain is short of hands!” Cao Qinqin begged him.
”I don't mind if you want to join us, but you better think of a way to convince your sister. Otherwise, she's going to think that I've led you astray again...” Mo Fan warned him.
”As long as teacher agrees, I will talk to my sister myself! I believe she will understand me,” Bai Hongfei smiled like the guy on the Darlie toothpaste tube.
”That's great, our Fanxue Mountain has recruited another expert! Teacher, Bai Hongfei is very strong now. You can ask him to handle the fights. He won't let you down!” Cao Qinqin said.
”I won't be needing his help to beat people up. It's my favorite pastime!” Mo Fan scoffed.
”Teacher, you are now a reputable figure in our country. There are times when you will feel disgraced to even handle fights yourself; those are the fights I can handle on your behalf. You won't be disappointed!” Bai Hongfei grinned.
