Chapter 874 - Continual Shocks! (1/2)

Chapter 874: Continual Shocks!

Urged on by Yun Tianhe, two soon arrived at the Yun residence, the domineering degree of which far exceeded Pinocchio’s small palace. Just the terrific wall length put it on par with the imperial palace of a small kingdom.

“Bro, your house is a little big…” Bai Xiaofei gulped.

“No time for jokes, my brother. My mother will kill me if she doesn’t see you now.” Yun Tianhe seemed like he might break into tears at any moment and Bai Xiaofei was his last lifeline.

Rushing through the residence, the duo arrived at a secluded building.

“This is it, Brother. I won’t go in with you, I have something to do!” Dishing out an excuse, Yun Tianhe ran off, leaving Bai Xiaofei dumbfounded.

What the heck?! You ran?!! What about me??!

“Come in, or are you going to just stand out there?”

A mature female voice rang out from the building as Bai Xiaofei stood frozen in conflict. He hurriedly fixed his expression. The person he was going to see might be his father’s old ‘friend!’

Walking to the door, Bai Xiaofei gently pushed it open with a pounding heart.

In the room sat a typical noble lady, her eyes intently fixed on him as if trying to dig out information from his appearance.

“Hello aun… aunty…” the normally articulate Bai Xiaofei stuttered under the woman’s stare. For some reason, he was panicking just by looking at her.

“Close the door and sit down,” said Lan Qiushuang lightly.

Like a robot, Bai Xiaofei carried out her orders. Now he knew why Yun Tianhe was so afraid of his own mother. Her aura alone could frighten people to death!

“To be honest, I really don’t see any resemblance between you and him.”

That was her first sentence as soon as Bai Xiaofei seated himself.

The ‘he’ must be his father, but he had never even seen his father before except from the image left in the Gorge of Heroes. How was he supposed to know about his resemblance or whatever?

“No need to wonder why I know your identity. Not long after you arrived here, I received a letter from Vice Principal Luo. She told me everything that could be said. To be able to make that woman take the initiative to contact me, it seems there is still something special about you,” Lan Qiushuang answered the doubt that Bai Xiaofei did not voice. Despite her praise, her ice-cold expression did not change at all, and there was even a hint of disappointment in it.

“Can I call you Aunt Lan?” After her continuous ‘attacks,’ Bai Xiaofei tried to regain his wits, especially at the mention of Luo Xi. Since Luo Xi had gone to such lengths to help him, he could not let her down!

“Considering our relationship, you should address me as such,” replied Lan Qiushuang.

Bai Xiaofei was dumbstruck. Our relationship?! What does that even mean?!

“How much do you know about your father? Tell me everything, including how he was killed,” Lan Qiushuang ignored Bai Xiaofei as she followed with a question. This time, her voice trembled, and Bai Xiaofei could hear the murderous intent in the last sentence!

Okay, what’s going on here?! She… has feelings for my father?! Still?!!

“Actually, I am not very clear about my father’s affairs, because I have never met him. When I was a baby, he was seriously injured and sent me to the Gorge of Heroes before he passed away. According to my foster parents, he was being chased and attacked. As for who was chasing him, they don’t know.”

Bai Xiaofei’s answer put disappointment on Lan Qiushuang’s face. Her red eyes became watery, but she resisted tears.

After a long silence, she adjusted her mood and looked at Bai Xiaofei again with the same composed expression from before.

“I know you have come with questions. Ask away, I will tell you everything I know. However, you must find out everything about your father and tell me the whole story!” said Lan Qiushuang solemnly. The underlying fury in her tone made his heart tighten.

Oh wow, she really takes that old pop of mine seriously!

“Thank you, Aunt Lan, I will go ahead then.” Bai Xiaofei mentally sorted out all the questions he had about his father and looked at Lan Qiushuang. “Aunt Lan, before coming to Ethereal, my father disappeared for five years. Do you know where he went in those five years?”
