Chapter 471: Chu Liuyun’s Background! (2/2)
“No, at first I just wanted to try how strong this secret art is. After all, it was the first time I used it. I was thinking about exploring my own limit using Zhu Guang, but I didn’t expect him to be so weak…” Bai Xiaofei even sighed when he said this. His expression was really asking for a beating.
“Well, you can just plan another one…” Embarrassed, Chu Liuyun laughed. Since Bai Xiaofei could solve every problem coming his way, why would she even worry for nothing?
“Big Sister Liuyun, you are going to graduate, right…?” Bai Xiaofei suddenly stopped and asked a question that made Chu Liuyun’s expression freeze.
If she could, she really didn’t want to go.
But…
“That’s right, I have to go back. It hadn’t been easy to get my family to agree to let me out for four years,” Chu Liuyun said with a hint of struggle. She got a headache at the mention of her family alone. Everyone had their own difficult family experience, and Chu Liuyun was no exception. Her helplessness about herself was her greatest sorrow.
“I’ve never heard you mention your situation at home. Since you’re leaving soon, can’t you tell me? Otherwise, how will I find you in the future?” Bai Xiaofei stroked Chu Liuyun’s head. The intimate action made her blush red.
“Will you really come look for me?” Chu Liuyun looked up at Bai Xiaofei. She was now without that temperament of the big sister of the Demon of Illusions. Her expression was frail and invoked pity.
“Or else? Watch you marry someone else? I can’t do it!” declared Bai Xiaofei. His tone of regarding Chu Liuyun as something of his possession pleased her.
“You must know the Multihouse Business…” said Chu Liuyun weakly, her face uneasy.
Although she knew that Bai Xiaofei would not be afraid of anyone, she somehow worried that he didn’t want to take such a big risk. All people in the merchant group were very practical. If Bai Xiaofei didn’t have an equal standing to her, her love for him would likely be a disaster to his life…
“Multihouse?! You are the young lady of the Multihouse Business?!” Bai Xiaofei exclaimed as he felt like he had discovered something unimaginable.
How come all the girls around me are so complicated!?
“No, no, no. You’re not wrong, but it’s different from what you think.” Chu Liuyun hurriedly waved her arms with a contradictory sentence. Then, she slowly explained, “All of the nine major merchant groups don’t belong to one person or clan, but consist of large families or consortia. Our Chu clan is one of the six major families of Multihouse, sharing some of its businesses.”
Bai Xiaofei was enlightened. So they work like this…
“Where is the Chu family? Don’t tell me the six families you mentioned all live together.”
As the saying went, there couldn’t be two tigers in one mountain. Even allies didn’t necessarily need to stay close.
“In Cloud City of the Violethorn Empire,” Chu Liuyun answered with expectation in her eyes. She was already picturing the scene of two people meeting when Bai Xiaofei went to find her. If he really stood in front of her then, she would promise anything, even if he wanted her to elope with him!
“Don’t worry, I will find you!”
