Chapter 1566 - General Ling Kaiyuan’s Birthday (5)”

Chapter 1566 “General Ling Kaiyuan’s Birthday (5)”
“If you don’t come along then I’ll leave you in this place.” Bai Yan knew she had to tease this foster sister of hers, otherwise they would be standing here till the next morning.
Bai Yi Yi immediately sped forward like a good girl scout. She didn’t even want to give that idea even a sliver of hope.
“Bai Yi Yi,” Ling Lang also saw the dazed face of the lass and decides to join in on the fun. However, his voice suddenly stopped and got uncertain after noticing something: “Are you… are you able to practice again?”
Ling Lang could not feel these before, but ever since he consumed the green pill from Bai Xiachen then he’s been able to discern certain aspects of everyone around himself. For example, his own mother Bai Ran was a martial artist and the way she moved was certainly different from all the rest. It’s very precise like it’s always ready to move for combat.
“Huh?” Startled in her initial response, Bai Yi Yi quickly realizes what he’s asking and got all flushed in the face, “Mhmm…”
Ling Lang silently felt relieved at the good news: “That’s wonderful to hear. You are my aunt’s apprentice so it’s good to know you have recovered. When my mother offered to help you and you refused, we’ve always been worried.”
That comment only made the lass hang her head even lower. It’s true she refused the aid of the Ling household, mainly because she didn’t want others to gossip around, saying she’s only out to steal other people’s wealth. That would be a smear on Bai Yu who brought her up from the streets, a sin Bai Yi Yi would never allow for her late teacher. Therefore, the lass would rather live in a basement than to take charity from others.
Those females at the entrance were already jealous to begin with due to Bai Yan’s presence, but this time they’re downright showing contempt for Bai Yi Yi who got the opportunity to speak with Ling Lang. In fact, it’s so bad that one of them actually openly chuckled for everyone to hear!
Ling Lang’s footsteps suddenly stopped at the noise. Turning to glare at the individual woman: “Your parents never taught you that it’s not okay to mock others behind their back? Just listening to you all talk about others is hurting my ear and making you all look very ugly.”
Sure enough, the smile in those ladies faces disappeared. They couldn’t believe this for one. How could the flirt hear their conversation when it’s so low?
In reality though, the average person wouldn’t be able to. The reason why Ling Lang could in this case was due to the fact that he’s evolved into a real genuine martial artist. The very same type that could break rocks and chop bones with his fist, that kind. Merely picking on some noise nearby had become a easy task for him after consuming that green pill.
“Sir Ling Lang, you misunderstood us, we….” One of the females in a bright red dress wanted to explain but was cut off by a voice from inside the manor.
“Ling Lang, why are you not coming inside yet?”
Recognizing who this individual was, the sorry excuse of a guest that wanted to make an excuse stopped in her tongue. She’s now looking on with delight at the expected drama that’s going to unfold.
Mrs. Ling is here, I like to see how that woman with a brat tagging along is going to play this. She’s definitely going to embarrass herself….
……
Coming out of the manor was none other than Bai Ran of course. She saw her son so she called out, but her gaze had locked onto Bai Yan right away and then shifted to the little figure standing next to her niece. Immediately, Bai Ran got all elated in the face as she quickly walked over to reach out for a big affectionate hug.
“Yan Yan, I knew you would come today. Your uncle has been waiting for you already. This child is Xiachen is he not? How lovely is he, the boy got your eyes you know?”
“Grand Auntie Ran, you are so young and good looking. Other people could easily mistake you as my mother’s sister if you stand next to her.”
