Fang Yuxin hung up the call and then contacted Bai Ye. She told him about Bai Yi’s divine warning and asked, "Bai Ye, you understand Bai Yi better than I do. What kind of person is he? I’ve just offended him, and I’m afraid he won’t let it go easily."
As soon as Bai Ye heard this, he felt infuriated. He had never liked Bai Yi. Bai Yi had contacted him earlier, and their conversation did not end well, leaving Bai Ye quite upset. To his dismay, this bastard had actually gone straight to Fang Yuxin! He even had the audacity to warn her!
Where did Bai Yi get the nerve?
Bai Ye was seething inside. Upon hearing Fang Yuxin’s question, he replied, "Bai Yi is a petty person, otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten involved with Qiu Yiming." He paused and glanced nervously at Fang Yuxin, worried that she might get angry. After all, the two of them had dated for so many years. To say there were no feelings at all, Bai Ye wouldn’t believe that even if he were beaten to death. He didn’t generally like to speak ill of others behind their backs, but he felt these two people were really vile, and he blurted it out.
Fang Yuxin didn’t mind. She had already seen Qiu Yiming’s true colors. As Bai Ye suspected, the fact that they had dated for so long and Qiu Yiming had taken care of her since they were childhood sweethearts, meant that even after their breakup, she didn’t want to speak too ill of Qiu Yiming behind his back.
She pretended not to have heard anything and said to Bai Ye, "Continue, I just want to know if Bai Yi will retaliate against the Fang Family. Based on his character, what would he do? Tell me everything you know so I can prepare early." Actually, she felt quite deflated. The massive Beishi Base now seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. Remaining there was pointless. Not only was she restrained at every turn, but she also had to be cautious of revenge, which was truly unpleasant!
Leaving would be easy for her, but Bai Ye was a Bai Family member, so escaping might not be so simple for him. She simply chose not to bring up such topics in front of Bai Ye, to save him from any distress.
However, Bai Ye had guessed her thoughts and took the initiative to say, "Xinxin, it’s my fault you got dragged into this. Your breakup with Qiu Yiming was a non-issue. If it weren’t for me, Bai Yi wouldn’t have come looking for trouble with you." After all, Bai Yi wasn’t a mad dog that bit everyone he saw. The White Wolf Mercenary Corps had plenty of daily business to attend to. If not for Fang Yuxin being entangled with Bai Ye and their ambiguous relationship, why would Bai Yi go crazy and bother her?
What’s more, Bai Ye believed that Fang Yuxin’s arrival in Beishi City had something to do with him. She had only been at Beishi Base for less than half a day and had already encountered so much trouble, which made him feel very guilty. The thought that Fang Yuxin hadn’t left because of him made him feel even worse.
After some thought, he suddenly said, "Xinxin, let’s find a way to leave Beishi Base. Let’s go somewhere else, develop our own base, how about that?"
It was a spur-of-the-moment idea, and he hadn’t thought it through, but once he said it, his eyes lit up, and he felt it was an excellent idea!
Beishi Base was vast, with a large population. Although it had developed in various aspects, with inventions like the Communicator for short distance communications, and factories and farms established, it was already a mature base. However, precisely because it was so well-established, local powers were deeply intertwined, and they had no entry point!
Don’t be fooled by the Six Major Forces governing their own domains, even hinting at opposing each other. But as soon as another power tried to rise and share in their spoils, these people would definitely not agree!
Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin were strong, but no matter how strong, they were just two people. They couldn’t kill all the members of the other forces, nor could they control everyone and directly make enemies of them. It was unwise.
Instead of being restricted in every capacity at Beishi Base, it would be better to leave, choose a suitable, small base, and gradually develop and strengthen. Hua Country was vast, and communication between cities was disconnected, probably with no quick fix. Once they left Beishi Base, the people there would not be able to find them!
With his and Fang Yuxin’s abilities, given some time, they could establish their own base. By then, even if Bai Yi learned of their whereabouts, they would have developed to a point where he couldn’t contend with them, and they would be much freer!
