Chapter 830: Class Still?

“Lan Qiushuang?” Hearing this name, Bai Xiaofei instantly recalled another person –

Lan He!

The academy’s grand celebration might have ended differently if it weren’t for this Ethereal veteran persevering for such a long time. Moreover, he regarded Bai Xiaofei very highly.

“Well, you should remember Lan He. She is his daughter. However, he’s even more sensitive about the name Bai Longfei than I am. Do not mention it unless you can talk to Lan Qiushuang in private,” Luo Xi said very seriously.

Bai Xiaofei gulped as he suddenly had a bad feeling. It looked like this was only the beginning of his father’s ‘plot’ against his son!

“Did my old man go to Ethereal right after his graduation?” Bai Xiaofei was very interested in his father’s affairs.

“No, he disappeared for five years before suddenly appearing in the Ethereal Empire, and then there was his puppet master legend. You will be able to hear his story bit by bit. What I have told you is only the most boring part of his life,” said Luo Xi with a rare genuine smile.

Using her whole life waiting for a person, she had never regretted it. This smile was proof.

“Thank you, Aunt Luo, I understand.” Bai Xiaofei knew that he could not ask any more questions. Now that he had found a direction, the only thing left to do was act.

However, as soon as Bai Xiaofei got up from his seat, Luo Xi stopped him.

“Let’s talk about something else.”

Bai Xiaofei froze. Something else?! What else do we have to talk about?!

“Luo Han. How long are you going to keep her waiting?” Luo Xi picked up her teacup and gently took a sip, but kept her eyes on Bai Xiaofei. The look was so sharp that he shuddered.

She was completely different! She had been Aunt Luo, but now, she was his future mother-in-law!

“I will return as soon as possible, I swear! I will never be like my dad!” Bai Xiaofei hurriedly vowed, but Luo Xi’s next words stunned him.

“How many people have you promised this to? Have you ever wondered how long they will have to wait for you to fulfill those promises one by one? Indeed, the average longevity of puppet masters is higher than that of ordinary people, and the rate of aging is much slower. Maybe your fifty years old is only equivalent to a normal person’s twenty. However, the flow rate of time is fair to everyone. Do you know how painful waiting is?”

Those series of questions were like knives to Bai Xiaofei’s heart. Despite his smart mouth, he did not know what to say.

There was really nothing more terrifying than soul-interrogating questions from one’s mother-in-law…

“As long as there are people waiting for me, I will fulfill my promises one by one. No promise will be forgotten. This is the only guarantee I can make.” This was Bai Xiaofei’s answer after a long silence. It was his true thoughts and his plan going forward.

However, Luo Xi shook her head.
