Lowering his eyes to avoid his sister’s gaze, Bai Xiao reveals a flicker of sharpness in his eyes: “Sister, give me some time.”
Furrowing her brow, Bai Yan was slightly taken aback by the teen’s request, “What are you planning to do?”
“I want to participate in the Holy Land’s recruitment competition!” His tone was firm there. Matched with that handsome face smeared by the lustering light from the outside, it was almost impossible for the female sex to deny him.
“Give me a reason on why you must take the test then.” As unwilling as she was to the idea, Bai Yan nevertheless gives her brother the benefit of the doubt and asked for the reason.
“Because Nangong Yi is also participating. He and Bai Ruo did so many horrible things to you back then, that’s why I want to defeat him in front of everyone!”
Nangong Yi?
Caressing her chin, Bai Yan’s narrowed in gaze was exuding a dangerous light like she’s plotting something evil.
“From what I remember, Nangong Yi has been crippled by Di Cang hasn’t he? How could he still compete? Tell me Brother, what has happened during the past few days while I was away.”
“Sister, you don’t have to worry about these things. Just believe in me, I won’t embarrass myself in front of the public,” he may say that but those tightly clenched fist said otherwise of his confidence.
Perhaps it’s the persevering look of her brother there, or just the trust she held for him, but she nevertheless agreed. Showing a faint smile, “Alright, no matter what you to intend to do I will always support you! Therefore, I will give you a couple days until I make my move. By then it will be the end of the Bai House once and for all.”
“Thank you, Sister…” No longer cool and stern, Bai Xiao finally reveals a brilliant smile after getting his way.
“Uncle, these are for you.” Rummaging through his pocket, the baby boy suddenly pulls out all of the medicinal bottles in his possession for the lad.
“That’s all of my snacks Uncle. You must win okay? Let all those baddies know Mother’s brother is also very powerful.”
Watching the plentiful amount of precious pills in his hands, Bai Xiao genuinely felt happy from within. “I will not lose.”
If I lose now then what qualifications do I have to stand behind her in the future? For that, I can never lose!
“Son, let us leave for now then.” Casting a final glance at her brother, Bai Yan nevertheless departs from the room, knowing full well this was not the time to be distracting the boy.
With the main flower leaving already, it’s only expected that the two smaller buds to follow too. Though Chu Yi Yi and Di Xiao Wan are constantly bickering whenever they are together, but that only applies when Bai Yan has her attention elsewhere. Right now they were quiet and calm like obedient children following their idol.
……
“Bai Xiao, why are you so dead set on this recruitment competition? We don’t even know what sort of medicine that person gave to Nangong Yi to make him recover. What if you can’t beat him…..”
Taking all of it in, Wei Qing can understand why his friend would want to do something to prove himself, but did it have to be in this fashion?
“No! I will win!” Bai Xiao’s expression became dreadfully cold: “Those people only became so rampant because of Bai Zhi’s connection with that man from the Holy Land. If I can become a member of that power then I can protect her again!”
Opening his mouth, Wei Qing wanted to say more to persuade his friend of how bad this might turn out. However, he didn’t have the heart to say it in the end and could only sigh.
“Then why didn’t you tell your sister that it’s for her that you are participating?”
Facing the direction of where Bai Yan left, the lad’s sharp gaze eventually softened up: “With my understanding of her personality, she would definitely stop me from entering the competition if it was for her sake.”
