Chapter 350 “The Knot inside Bai Yan’s Heart (4)”
Chu Yi Yi was startled at first. First shaking that head of hers, she answers honestly: “I don’t know either. He told me earlier in the morning that he has something to attend to and that he will meet us in the Liu Huo Kingdom later.”
Something to attend to? Furrowing her brow, Bai Yan begins to wonder.
“Right,” Chu Yi Yi’s complexion appears somewhat depressed too. “My brother also said that my father intends to recruit people from the outside. He proposed we go to the Liu Huo Kingdom so the elders should already be coming.”
It’s all Father’s fault for not making me a boy instead. Otherwise, I could’ve pursued Bai Yan instead of leaving to my dumb brother. The girl’s mood was definitely not very good, especially when her stupid brother had left without putting up a fight against his rival Di Cang.
As skeptical as that look was on Bai Yan’s face, she didn’t pursue the topic and pushed onward. “Alright, we will go back first then.”
Since her background has been fully disclosed now through various sources, there’s no longer a need to keep the Bai House around anymore! Its time she went back and cleared them out.
……
The Liu Huo Kingdom.
Following a loud thundering roar above the capital city of this kingdom, what came into view for these common folks were the gigantic figure of a dragon soaring across the sky.
The first to dismount from the serpent was Chu Yi Yi and Di Xiao Wan, followed quickly by a reddish figure with her precious little steam bun.
“Mistress, you are back!” The one coming to receive them was none other than Hualuo, the head of the Flower Brothel.
“Mhmm,” showing a bright smile at her faithful subordinate, Bai Yan inquires about any changes while they were away, “Did anything occur during these couple of days while I was away?”
“Reporting to Mistress, the other day Wen Ru came to see you. But when he heard you were absent, he immediately left.”
“Wen Ru? He came to see me? Did a problem occur during his work?”
The young boy called Wen Ru was someone whom lost to Bai Yan during a competition. Since then, the lad had sworn loyalty and now leads the alchemist team founded by the woman. According to their agreement, unless the situation was dire or huge, the boy was instructed not to bother her.
“He didn’t say anything,” Hualuo appears apologetic in her face for not asking, “However, something big did occur in the kingdom. Mistress, do you know about the Holy Land?”
Holy Land?
Bai Yan’s nearly laughed at that silly question. She herself was from there so how can she not know about its existence?
“Are you referring to them recruiting people? If so then I already know.”
Regarding hers and Chu Yi Yi’s origin, Bai Yan had never mentioned it once before the public, that’s why Hualuo would ask such a question.
“Mistress, your brother Sir Xiao is participating in the recruitment process of the Holy Land.” Releasing a helpless sigh, the charming woman appears powerless in her voice when stating this.
Bai Yan was startled there for a moment: “You are saying my brother wants to enter the Holy Land?”
“Whether he wants to or not is unknown to me. However, I do know it’s the Bai House who registered him for the recruitment competition.”
Bai House?
Tightly wrinkling her brow, Bai Yan didn’t think that horrendous family would start trouble again this quickly. All she did was leave for a few days! Furthermore, there’s no illusion in her mind that those people would be this kind….
“Hualuo, tell me the specifics.” From those murderous eyes, an overflowing amount of killing intent was exuding out of her enchanting figure.
