Enclosing one’s senses and then training to adapt to that sensation, to then find a way to survive is essential because you never know what you will face in the future, so you must have the courage to face everything.
Bai Dan nodded and then spoke up.
"As said, you’ll train directly when it’s time. Bai Xiang is usually not at home anyway, so we thought to have them start on theory even before Bai Zhi goes to school, along with the beginning of your training."
Next, they saw it, that room full of books.
It was indeed, a particularly large room.
There was everything you could think of.
They all must, completely, finish reading them.
"I give you two months. You must finish after the winter break."
Old Han looked at them seriously, recalling that they had three months, and how good the feeling of training was back then.
Seeing these rascal kids with such expressions reminded him exactly of themselves back in the day.
Truly, it was delightful.
Back then, they too, doubted their lives.
"No, no, this much, in two months? I have to study, you know..."
Bai Xiang was a bit dumbfounded, and he had to sell soap as well.
"Then that’s not a problem I need to consider."
Old Han waved his hand dismissively, he wouldn’t take care of that.
"Master, can I take medicinal baths at home every day? If I just got back and don’t go to school, many people might get curious and come over to check, right?"
If they went there and she wasn’t at home, wouldn’t that raise suspicions?
Old Han and the others agreed immediately upon hearing this; it indeed posed a problem.
"Then take the books home to read. These books must not be leaked. Come over at night for acupuncture and training."
"Got it." Bai Xiang sounded somewhat dispirited.
Returning home once again, it was already deep into the night, and Bai Dan still held a package of medicine in his hand.
In the early morning, Wu Wa and Bai Fei were dragged off to school.
Bai Xin stayed at home accompanying Bai Zhi, taking her around the village for a walk.
They unexpectedly came across Bai Yu and Bai Ye, who were also on their way to school.
Seeing Bai Zhi, they did not give her a single pleasant look.
Because, in Bai Yu’s heart, Bai Zhi was the root cause of all their family’s problems.
Just an impostor, yet she shattered his family.
What made Bai Yu even angrier was his desire to transfer schools, yet Ye Xiu did not agree despite knowing exactly what they cared about.
The disdainful stares of others and the unknown things they said behind his back.
Yet Ye Xiu said that running away wasn’t the solution, instead, he should bravely face everything; gossip cannot defeat him, but rather, it should be what defines him.
Bai Yu agreed outwardly, but what he was really thinking, no one knew.
Their master, too, had recently gone off who knows where, just leaving him with two books,
But just those two books were enough. In the future, he and Bai Ye would definitely be able to, make Bai Zhi’s life worse than death.
An ingrate indeed; no matter what her father did, he was the one who raised her, and yet she turned out to be such an ingrate.
Bai Yu’s eyes filled with hatred made Bai Zhi want to laugh.
"Bai Yu, what’s with that look? Do you, by any chance, intend to bully Xingxing?"
Bai Xin had never liked Bai Yu, who had never even bothered to care for Xingxing in the hospital.
"What does my look have to do with you, auntie?"
Bai Yu sneered and turned to leave without wanting to speak to Bai Xin.
Without hesitation, Bai Xin stepped forward and smacked Bai Yu on the head, glaring at him.
"What are you looking at? I am your elder. You should show the proper respect to your elders. If you disagree, then wait until you’ve grown up and can beat me before you talk."
"You..." Bai Yu was so irritated he wanted to fight back, feeling his Kung Fu had improved a lot lately.
Bai Zhi calmly produced a needle, looking at Bai Yu somewhat mockingly.
"Do you believe if you dare to make a move, I’ll blind you?"
