26 This King, Tu Dahei (2/2)

Shi Xiaobai was surprised hearing this, as he couldn’t help but be amused.

“This King is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient!”

Shi Xiaobai felt that he had been silent for too long. He was considering whether he should show them mercy by revealing his identity. After all, the two people in front of him were his pious devotees. Although one was passionate but brainless, and the other was cold and wise, there faith was beyond doubt.

Just as Shi Xiaobai was hesitating, Lingcun suddenly said, “Silly Ye, do you think Shi Xiaobai can’t think of something I thought of? Shi Xiaobai, is definitely a lot smarter than me!”

Ye Jiaquan’s eyes immediately lit up, as he smiled and said, “Why did Me forget? Captain Shi Xiaobai must have already come up with this idea!”

Lingcun nodded and said, “Maybe Shi Xiaobai will soon join the rookie training with his identity concealed. No, maybe he is already hiding amongst the rookies!”

Ye Jiaquan immediately asked with excitement, “Really!?”

Lingcun chuckled. “So look forward to it. Although Shi Xiaobai is temporarily unable to be the hope of Team Red, he will one day suddenly appear before everyone and prove his glory! Maybe a person beside you is actually Shi Xiaobai, and maybe while Team Red has been suffering, he has been silently accompanying us, silently growing stronger! Maybe Shi Xiaobai will similarly see the hard work we put in. And maybe by the time he reveals his identity, we might already be his friends!”

Lingcun’s pulled his hand out from his pocket and pointed to the sun, proclaiming loudly, “Maybe, as we think he is hiding in the dark night, while we wait for dawn, he has already appeared by our side, emitting the light and warmth like the sun.”

“Silly Ye, maybe Shi Xiaobai has always been by our side!”

Ye Jiaquan turned agitated listening to this as his eyes went red. He nodded continuously in a forceful manner, producing choked sounds of “Un”!

Shi Xiaobai was similarly inexplicably touched listening to this. He felt that the Shi Xiaobai as described by Lingcun was such an endearing person, a person so worthy of respect.

“This King, has always been by your side!”

Just thinking of himself standing in front of everyone in Team Red and saying those words, made Shi Xiaobai’s heart palpitate, his chest turning warm.

“Oh, right. This brother, have you considered which team you plan on joining?”

Lingcun, who never looked straight at Shi Xiaobai, suddenly turned to face Shi Xiaobai and asked him lightly.

Shi Xiaobai’s stirring thoughts were interrupted, and was unable to react in time. He subconsciously said, “This King will join Team Red!”

Ye Jiaquan immediately cheered, “That’s great!”

Lingcun also revealed a faint smile and took a few steps forward and stretched his hand out, “Welcome to Team Red. I am Chen Lingcun.”

His slender, white fingers looked very long, and under the illumination of the sun, one could see crystalline blood vessels under the nearly transparent skin.

Those hands were like delicate boneless hands.

Shi Xiaobai hesitated silently before reaching out with his equally white, but apparently generous and warm hand, gripping Lingcun’s hand lightly.

“This King, Tu Dahei1.”

Shi Xiaobai reported a name he fabricated at the last moment, while his heart was blooming with a smile.

However, Shi Xiaobai did not seem to notice that the silver-haired youth in front of him had a similar smile, however, that smile seemed like it had a playful and strange hint to it.

1. Tu Dahei (土大黑, Soil Big Black) is nearly an antonym to Shi Xiaobai’s name (石小白, Stone Little White).
