Chapter 329: Bai Hanyun’s Urgency
A few seconds later, Feng Xiyan dazedly said, "... Alright..."
Hearing the answer she wanted, Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up. She hugged his arm and said happily, "Thank you, Feng Xiyan."
Then she let go of him, stood up, and ran back to her room to pack.
Watching her leave so abruptly, Feng Xiyan came back to his senses. He pressed his lips together and fell into silence.
[Master, she tossed you aside after using you.]
The Yin Mirror’s soft, mocking voice echoed in his mind.
Already in a bad mood, Feng Xiyan’s expression darkened when he heard that.
While Bai Hanyun was busy packing her belongings into her Qiankun Pouch, Feng Xiyan ordered the maidservants to clean the table. By the time she returned, the dirty dishes were already gone, replaced with a new pot of tea.
Looking at her smiling face, Feng Xiyan sighed helplessly and said with a faint smile, "Miss Bai, I still need to visit Military Advisor Tuluo to discuss our war strategy. I might be busy for the next two days."
When Bai Hanyun heard this, she grew anxious and asked, "Will you come back at night?"
Knowing why she asked that question, Feng Xiyan nodded and replied, "Mhm. I will return at night to accompany you. You can rest assured and get a good night’s sleep."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun let out a sigh of relief and nodded. "Alright."
Reaching out to gently caress her cheek, Feng Xiyan added, "I’m going now. See you later."
Bai Hanyun stood up and walked him to the door. "Be careful on your way."
"I know."
After looking at her one more time, Feng Xiyan took the paper oil umbrella that was placed against the wall and stepped into the heavy rain, while Bai Hanyun stood there watching him disappear into the corner.
Moments later, that annoying voice came again.
[Stop looking. He is already far away. It’s not like you can saw through the wall and have the Heavenly Eyes that can see hundreds of thousands of li.]
Hearing the Yang Mirror’s tone that seemed like asking for a beating, Bai Hanyun rolled her eyes and asked, "Didn’t you say you were going to sleep? Why are you awake again?"
Sensing her annoyance, the Yang Mirror didn’t get angry. Instead, he rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, [Girl, your plan is really working. You are not bad, oh.]
Noticing his unusually cheerful tone, Bai Hanyun raised her brows slightly. "Of course, my plan is working."
Ignoring her matter-of-fact tone, the Yang Mirror urged, [Girl, hurry up and go to the temple now. There is a big surprise waiting for you.]
Feeling curious, Bai Hanyun asked, "What kind of surprise?"
The Yang Mirror chuckled and mysteriously replied, [You will know when you get there.]
The Yang Mirror’s words piqued her curiosity, so Bai Hanyun decided to go and take a look. Turning toward the side hall, she called out, "Xiao Cui."
Bai Hanyun didn’t have to wait long before Xiao Cui appeared. Lowering her eyes, Xiao Cui humbly asked, "Miss Bai, what are your instructions?"
Smiling at her, Bai Hanyun explained, "Xiao Cui, I’m going to visit the temple. Can you help me prepare the horse carriage?"
Thinking that her young Master never restricted Bai Hanyun’s movements, Xiao Cui replied, "Yes, Miss Bai."
Soon, Xiao Cui returned with two paper oil umbrellas. Just as she was about to hold the umbrella for Bai Hanyun, the latter took it from her hand and said, "I can hold it myself."
Hearing this, Xiao Cui let go of the umbrella and opened her own.
When the two of them stepped out of the main entrance of the Great General’s Mansion, Feng Wu appeared beside Bai Hanyun.
At first, Bai Hanyun would have been startled by the shadow guards’ sudden appearances and disappearances. But after staying here for a while, she had already gotten used to it.
With Xiao Cui’s help, Bai Hanyun boarded the carriage.
After Feng Wu sat beside the coachman while wearing a raincoat made from dried straw, the coachman flicked his whip, and soon the carriage wheels began to roll along the muddy road.
Inside the carriage, Bai Hanyun asked the Yang Mirror, ’Yang Mirror, how much energy have you recovered so far?’
Hearing this, the Yang Mirror coughed lightly and replied with a hint of guilt, [Well... not much...]
Narrowing her eyes, Bai Hanyun asked again, ’Then can you give me an exact estimate of how much longer you need to recover your energy so you can send me back?’
Sensing her urgency, the Yang Mirror asked curiously, [Girl, why are you in such a hurry to return? I thought you liked that young man. Don’t you want to stay here for a little while longer? After all, it’s not easy for me to send us to this world.]
Bai Hanyun sighed inwardly and replied, ’After staying with me for so long, I believe you already know my situation clearly.’
The Yang Mirror clicked his tongue. [You are quite unlucky to have that kind of nominal father.]
Agreeing with his words, Bai Hanyun continued, ’Since you know he is scum, then you must have already guessed that the one who sent those assassins was him, right?’
[Yes. Is he the reason you want to return to your world so badly?]
’Yes. Since he already sent a group of assassins to kill me, he will also move against my friends and try to seize the Bai Group. After all the scheming and planning I have done since my grandfather passed away, I can’t let him take the Bai Group using his identity as my nominal father.’
’With me gone, I can guess what rumors will spread in my world. If I’m not mistaken, Bai Yansheng will already be using the water army to fan rumors of my death. With me out of the way, it will seem just and lawful for him to take over the Bai Group.’
’Not only that. I’m afraid they will search my house and find the antiques. If that happens, our secrets, your existence, and Feng Xiyan’s world will be exposed to him. Then all we can do is wait for death.’
After hearing Bai Hanyun’s explanation, the Yang Mirror grew restless and anxious.
