Chapter 523: Discussing Xue Ying! (1/2)
Even so, however, they didn’t find and bother him at all. Since Bai Xiaofei didn’t take the initiative to tell them, it meant he had his own plans, and interfering would only be counterproductive.
“Chu Liuyin and the others…?” asked Bai Xiaofei in an uneasy tone. Hu Xian’er smiled.
“They wanted to wait with me, but I told them to rest. I was afraid that you wouldn’t be comfortable and completely open if there are too many people,” she said lightly. The smile on her face remained unchanged as she showed no intention to question him at all.
However, the more Hu Xian’er acted like this, the more Bai Xiaofei panicked. He didn’t think it was possible for her to have nothing to ask if she waited for him past midnight!
Just as Bai Xiaofei was still speculating on what she was going to say, Hu Xian’er spoke first, “Did Xue Ying notice something?”
Bai Xiaofei was dumbstruck. Originally, he was going to talk about this within the day, but Han Xing came and disrupted his plan. Now that he had returned, Hu Xian’er actually already knew.
But how does she know?
“Indeed, she seems to have seen you with Hong and Xing in the Infinite Mountain Range,” replied Bai Xiaofei reluctantly. Although he was sure that Xue Ying wouldn’t tell anyone, this discovery would inevitably lead to a gap between the two girls, and what he feared most was exactly this kind of estrangement.
“No wonder she’s been looking at me so strangely now.” Getting Bai Xiaofei’s confirmation, Hu Xian’er was not nervous and actually relaxed.
“Aren’t you worried?” Bai Xiaofei hesitantly asked. When Xue Ying had talked to him about this, he had been stunned for half a day. Why did Hu Xian’er, the concerned party, not seem to care at all?
“What’s the use of worrying? Since she told you, it means that she won’t tell anyone else. On another note, this actually reminds me that I should be careful during the grand celebration. There are more than just a few people who are good at discovering secrets in Starnet,” Hu Xian’er nonchalantly mused as if she had full control of the situation.
The reason why magical beasts had been suppressed by humans wasn’t that they were inferior in terms of strength. On the contrary, if all the magical beasts in the Infinite Mountain Range were united, no force on this continent would be a match for them.
Unfortunately, magical beasts lost due to their lack of knowledge of human beings. They didn’t know all the humans’ scheming nor did they know how to exploit the hearts of other beings.
“If you think so, then I’m relieved. Big Sis Xue did promise me that she would not tell a single person.” Bai Xiaofei didn’t think too much into it. As far as he was concerned, Hu Xian’er’s change was a good thing. After a brief pause, he dubiously asked, “You waited just to ask me this?”
Waiting so long for just this matter? That can’t be!
“Or else? Did you think I would interrogate you about your whole-day date with Luo Han? Or were you worried that we’d do something stupid out of jealousy?” firing off with a pondering expression, she rendered Bai Xiaofei speechless. Staring on as embarrassment took over his face, she revealed a shallow smile and continued, “However, I do have something to discuss with you, and it happens to be related to Xue Ying.”
