Chapter 619: Teacher and Students (1/2)

When Bai Xiaofei’s group returned to the inn, a newly issued imperial decree from An Bang Ting had been announced – Tomorrow noon, the emperor would have a meeting with the people in the city.

Although the announcement did not say what this meeting was about, it was already great news for the people who had been striving to see him. Everyone was excited, which Bai Xiaofei got to feel very clearly as the matter was talked about all around his entire way back to the inn.

“Master, is the emperor going to talk about what happened with my sister?” A’Tao was a clever boy. He was able to make a close guess from just a hint.

“A’Tao, if your sister is gone, what are you going to do?” Bai Xiaofei didn’t answer his question and threw out a hurtful one instead.

The boy went silent for a long time, then lowered his head. “A’Tao doesn’t know…”

“Silly child, no matter what happens, you are my disciple. As long as I’m still here to be your shelter, no one can bully you. After you go out into the world, you are a person with backing!”

Gazing at A’Tao, Bai Xiaofei gently stroked his head.

“This world is large and amazing. You are still young, and your future has unlimited possibilities. Don’t be blinded by the pain in front of you. No matter whether your sister is here or not, she will be proud that you’ll become an outstanding person. You’ll only upset her if you do stupid things.”

Having said that, Bai Xiaofei smiled faintly.

“Let’s go. Master will take you to buy some clothes. My three ladies will get you all dressed up.” Bai Xiaofei grinned, earning three embarrassed eye-rolls from the triplets.

After being brought out, A’Tao gradually let go of his initial timidity. Bai Xiaofei and the triplets completely revolved around him as they took him to experience all the fun places in Tranquil City. When they finally returned to the inn, the bright moon had climbed high in the sky.

“Master, will you hold A’Tao like this forever?” A’Tao suddenly asked an odd question as he curled up in Bai Xiaofei’s arms.

“That’s impossible. The ultimate goal of your master is having a woman in my embrace every day, and this should also be your goal. How would it look if we two men hold each other every day?” Bai Xiaofei ‘seriously’ scolded. He didn’t want A’Tao’s worldview to be led astray by him. Otherwise, if this got out, his reputation…

“Master will definitely succeed!” With a foolish smile, A’Tao slowly closed his eyes.

Early the next morning when Bai Xiaofei’s group got up, the inn was deserted. Even the boss had gone out, leaving only a waiter watching the store.

“What is this, you guys aren’t doing business anymore?” A hungry Bai Xiaofei frowned. The waiter hurriedly attended to him.

“Forget it, we’re not that hungry. And aren’t we going there too? From what he said, it’s already crowded there. We should get going.” Leng Liuli tugged on Bai Xiaofei’s sleeve before he could say anything and rescued the waiter.

“Don’t worry, we will definitely have the best position.” After flashing Leng Liuli a smile, Bai Xiaofei turned to the waiter. “I know you’re not the one in charge, so I won’t make it hard on you. When your boss comes back, tell him that he owes me a hearty breakfast.”
