Chapter 651 “Never Give Up on You (9)”

Under the insistence of her will, Bai Yan finally opened those eyes. Perhaps it’s out of habit, but she wanted to reach down to rub her son’s head that’s supposed to be in her embrace. However, what came into touch was nothing but air!
Turning pale at the realization, the last pang of sleepiness swiftly escapes that head, forcing her panicking heart to jerk that body up. Looking around, there’s no sign of her son at all.
“Hello little lady, are you awake now?”
Just as Bai Yan was scanning left and right for Bai Xiachen’s whereabout, that’s when her ears picked up the elderly voice from the front. Startled slightly at knowing there’s others around, she peers over to the source and discovered two seniors of considerable age standing there smiling at herself.
“Are you looking for this fox?” One of the seniors in white readily picks up the little critter from his side and hands it over, sending a wave of relief over to the receiving end.
Bai Yan didn’t hesitate at all. She moved those hands so quick that its as if she’s getting the most precious treasure in this world.
“Dra-Dragony!” While she did recover her son, it didn’t take long for Bai Yan to realize she’s still missing one other child. Panicking again inside, “I’m sorry for being blunt, but have you seen a little girl that should be with me?”
“Little girl? My dear, I only saw you and this little fox here, I didn’t see any little girl when we found you.” The old senior wearing the white robe answers, shaking his head to indicate he didn’t.
Biting those lips, If Dragony is not here then where did she end up? Or did the teleportation process go awry and send her to another location? This isn’t good. With her timid personality, she would definitely be very scared in a new and strange environment.
A regret now grips the woman’s heart. If she had known things would end up like this then she wouldn’t have gone soft-hearted and let the girl tag along.
“Lassie, you still haven’t told me why you ended up in my backyard yet.” The second elder in grey robe asks with a broad smile.
“Backyard?” Bai Yan became dumbfounded.
This vast forested valley is a backyard for these two elders?
Working fast in her brain, she quickly came up with a workable story for the situation: “I’m sorry, I didn’t know this was someone’s backyard. I only ended up here by mistake.”
“Oh don’t worry about it, this is not an issue at all. Hahaha!” The white robed senior heartily laughs to sooth the mood: “This is my brother over there. We are elders of the Misty Fairy House. My name is Zhongnan and he is Zhongbei. I see that your constitution is quite excellent so I like to ask you this question, are you interested in becoming our disciple?”
Bai Yan didn’t answer right away and began to weigh her options. First and foremost was to locate Dragony of course, there’s no way she could leave the little girl alone like this in unknown territory. But what’s the best way to do that left a lot of room for debate.
Smiling now, her eyes wandered over to the two seniors: “Alright, I’m willing to become your disciple.”
I’ve already got three shifus anyway, adding another two won’t hurt at this rate. Its just a little more extra work caring for them….
“However…” her expression promptly turned stern, “my daughter is missing right now. Can I bother both shifus to help me find her?”
“Haha!” Zhongnan (older) genuinely laughs with joy in that voice: “As long as you recognize us as your shifu then anything is fine! I say lassie, I’ve already checked your body earlier. Your bone structure is absolutely amazing according to my examination. At most in another twenty years and you will reach the King Rank, a level comparable to our own.”
Checked my body? Examined my bone structure? EEEEHHH!!!
The woman’s complexion was darker than the bottom of a burnt pot at this moment.
This old fart actually touched my body while I was unconscious! If he wasn’t so old, I would’ve called him a leech, a pervert!
And……
Twenty years to break through into the King Rank?
Didn’t I already go way past that and into the Monarch Rank not so long ago….?
“Oh right, what strength is your cultivation at? I’ve checked earlier but I couldn’t get a good sense of your current level at all.” Zhongnan’s brow wrinkled into a knot over the strangeness.
This girl is full of mystery….
