8 Jianghu 1 (2/2)

”You can call me anything you want to and there is no need to be courteous little ancestor.”

”What is this little ancestor? Call me Long Lei. You know my name but you are still using all those silly nicknames for me. I don't like it.” Long Lei behaved in a petulant manner just like a kid.

Although she was trying to behave like an adult but who will believe in her antics when she has a face of twelve year old girl who is as pretty as the moon. People will only indulge her more and more to see her cuteness.

During their bantering one night passed and they reached the border starting the jianghu area.

”Okay little ancestor, listen to me. In this place strength speaks and words are mere garbage so you should control your temper and improve yourself.” Bai Yu lectured her about her safety in jianghu but Long Lei just rolled her eyes at him. She clearly knew about the dangers of jianghu after all she has read about them all in those novels. She is not stupid as to behave so unscrupulous in front of these maniacs here.

Bai Yu called his contracted beast the phoenix to go towards his house. He could have used his martial arts to reach home but he wanted Long Lei to be familiar with this place.

Long Lei was surprised to see the golden yellow bird soaring in the sky towards them and a fool that she was she screamed in fright.

Bai Yu was dumbfounded to see her like this the girl who was behaving like the overlord right now was hiding behind him like a scared kitten.

”Hush now. Don't be scared people will laugh at you. It is just a phoenix.”

”What do you mean by just a phoenix? Is it not animal or are you saying that I am blind.” Long Lei asked him completely angry then she remembered about the inheritance of Senior Xuan and calmed herself down.

She thought about how she was going to learn beast taming.

”Forget about animals just look into his eyes and see your favourite companion and you will forget this fright.” Bai Yu told her and remembered a similar scene with his Xin'er. She was also like this scared of animals.

Long Lei calmed herself and focused on Bai Yu's advice. Although she was still scared of the phoenix she didn't show it on her face.

Both of then departed on the phoenix's back and reached his mansion which was secluded from the main area of Jianghu. It was near the outskirts of jianghu near a large forest.

”From now on this is your house. We will be a family now.” Bai yu told her with a patient smile.

”This place is good pretty uncle. I didn't know that you were this rich.” Long Lei flattered him.

After settling down Bai Yu called his subordinates while Long Lei was resting in her new room.

He informed them about Long Lei as his adopted daughter and also asked Su Yan his second in command to find about her past from the Prime Minister's manner. He wanted to know exactly what happened to her that she was willing to come with a stranger she met and not want to return to the place she came from.
