Chapter 386 “The Excited Senior of the Lan House (3)”

Bai Xiao did not directly slay Yu Rong and the old madam there; instead, he cruelly tore them apart from limb to limb.
Mother, can you see it? I have finally avenged you!Oh… How I envy Sister, I envy her for being so fortunate to not carry Bai Zheng Xiang’s blood. If only I could rip out the taint from my body! His eyes were thickly encrusted with a layer of hatred even when he cried to the heavens from within.
But before he could do more, it was then a pink handkerchief was handed to him, causing the boy to stiffen up, “Thank you…”
“Let’s burn this place down. You won’t be returning again anyways.”
The one responsible here was none other than Chu Yi Yi who came with him. Pursing her lip, the girl didn’t have more to add other than to try to soothe his sadness with that faint smile and friendly dimples.
The lad didn’t reply right away. Closing his eyes, it took a good minute of deep silence before he opened them again like he’s decided something important: “Okay.”
Leaving behind only these words, the boy then turns to leave, never once looking back again.
Now that didn’t sit well with the little maiden at all. Pained in her eyes, she cries out: “Xiao Xiao, if you don’t have a place to go in the future then you can always come to the Holy Land. It’s where Bai Yan lived and you also participated in the recruitment contest so you are eligible to enter.”
Halting in his footsteps: “At the beginning I really did want to enter the Holy Land…. I thought maybe, just maybe then I would be able to bring Sister a more comfortable lifestyle. But now that I know she’s already in there then I no longer have a need for that.” Raising his young handsome face, a stern firmness overtakes his eyes: “I want to use my own strength to create a safe haven for her. If I must rely on her powers then I won’t be able to become the person that can shelter her in the future.”
Going bright in her face, that last remark definitely hit a sweet spot for the girl. Quickly coming before the boy, Chu Yi Yi approvingly pats that shoulder to show her support: “If Bai Yan learns of how good you are then she will definitely be very gratified. Here, this is an identity token of mine. With this you can come see me in the Holy Land whenever you like.”
She had no intent of letting the lad refuse her. Stuffing the object into that hand, she promptly disappeared into the distance, leaving only the awkward looking lad in the background.
“…..forget it, I’ll just give it back to her the next time.” Tightening his grip around the crystal clear badge, Bai Xiao finally steps out of the Bai estate’s big door, leaving behind nothing but a burning wreckage in his wake that will soon engulf the entire structure.
From this day forward, there will never be another Bai House in the Liu Huo kingdom!
……
Meanwhile at the same time over at the Lan House.
Due to this family hating Bai Zhi to the core, none of the members here had participated in the recruitment contest, nor did any of them go see the fight from the audience seats. Therefore, it came as a huge surprise for them all when Di Xiao Wan (demon princess) came running to inform them that Bai Yan’s shifus are coming to stay for a few days.
In their mindset, the idea of the impending guests was still at the fourth rank alchemist level, that’s an existence which even the royal family would have to be vigilant when receiving, let alone their simple abode.
