Chapter 614: The People’s Grievances! (1/2)

Without a word, the boy knelt and kowtowed thrice on the ground.

“From now on, you are a disciple of I, Bai Xiaofei. Believe me, one day you will be proud of this title!” With a big smile, Bai Xiaofei patted A’Tao’s shoulder, then looked at the people around. “As you can see, I have accepted A’Tao as my disciple. Go back first. I will ask A’Tao about the details and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”

The group of commoners looked at each other and then at A’Tao for a long time without reacting to Bai Xiaofei’s words. Just as he started to frown, A’Tao suddenly spoke.

“Please go back, everyone. My teacher and I will bring my sister and your relatives back! I, A’Tao, swear on my father’s name!”

To Bai Xiaofei’s surprise, this speech that was nothing extraordinary actually persuaded everyone! Before long, the group of injured people left with heavy steps. Before they did, they thanked Bai Xiaofei and the triplets, some even said things like, “We entrust this to you, Masters.”

“Your father is very well-known?” Bai Xiaofei asked A’Tao after the people dispersed. But as soon as the question dropped, two lines of tears rolled down from the boy’s eyes.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry! Just tell Sister what happened?” Leng Liushuang hurriedly ran to A’Tao and gently wiped away his tears.

“Father died, Sister was taken away, A’Tao has no family now.” Although his tears kept flowing, the expression on his face did not change at all. His glare and the cruelty in those wide eyes were in stark contrast with the tears on his face.

“It’s alright, it will be okay. Don’t you have your teacher now? He is your family and he will help you save your sister. Then you won’t be alone.” Leng Liushuang was heartbroken to see A’Tao suffer like this.

Leng Liuli and Leng Liuying also squatted down to comfort him. Only Bai Xiaofei stood still and looked at him quietly.

Soon, A’Tao noticed Bai Xiaofei’s gaze. Quickly gathering his wits, he ran out from the triplets’ circle and stood straight in front of Bai Xiaofei.

“Master, A’Tao is wrong. A’Tao will never cry again!” The boy tried his best to hold back his tears, leaving only the unique stubbornness of a child on his face.

“This is not a place to talk, take me to your home.” Bai Xiaofei’s voice was cold as if he wasn’t talking to a child. This brought a hint of anger to the eyes of the triplets.

“Okay!” A’Tao, however, didn’t find anything wrong with it. He immediately turned and led the way.

“You three are not going to stand here and wait for the guards, are you? I just came out of the palace and I don’t want to go in there again.” Passing the displeased triplets, Bai Xiaofei grinned.

Heaving a long sigh, Bai Xiaofei reluctantly shook his head. It’s hard being a nice person these days!

Bai Xiaofei had seen someone like A’Tao in the Gorge of Heroes, and that was also the only child he had seen there except himself. When that child first came, everyone thought he needed care and love, even Bai Xiaofei thought so. But in the end, the child died, because when he saw his enemy passing through the Gorge of Heroes, he recklessly rushed up alone…

In this law-of-the-jungle continent, what a child with A’Tao’s experience needed was not temporary care and love, but support that could make him stronger. Even if this support came off as a bit crude, he would accept it all and turn it into his own power at the fastest speed!
