Baili An’s face imdiately turned red. He didn’t expect that his casual explanation to Yin Baishuang would be overheard by her.
And that woman didn’t get angry at his sowhat rude remark, but instead, she teased him.
The thin, black-haired boy frowned, expressionless, as he looked at his mother and said, "I know you don’t like . If you prefer other people’s children, you can abandon , so you won’t have to control in the future."
After saying this, he shook off the woman’s hand and ran straight out of the corridor.
The beautiful woman gave a helpless bitter smile, a hint of sorrow flashing deep in her eyes.
Su Guanhai raised his head and said with a smile, "Ying Ji, although she cos from such a gloomy place like the Central Netherworld, her temperant is indeed very gentle. Brother Yu is really fortunate."
The mysterious emotion in the beautiful woman’s eyes vanished in an instant. She looked at her husband and said with a smile, "Praising another woman in front of your own wife, you really have guts. Maybe after marrying , you find yourself not so blessed to enjoy it? In this, you are not as good at talking as the young man by your side."
Su Guanhai was taken aback but then laughed heartily, "Very true, I acknowledge that."
Baili An made a salute towards the couple and said, "Junior greets the two seniors."
Yin Baishuang likewise followed with a salute.
Li Bansheng’s eyes flowed gently, her soft gaze fell on the two young ones, her dark brows slightly furrowed, "The little girl’s leg injury looks quite serious, it needs to be treated with dicine promptly."
Baili An responded with an ’mm’, nodded, and said, "I ca up the mountain today exactly to seek dicine."
Li Bansheng smiled at him, her gaze becoming even softer, "Little brother really knows how to cherish the fragile. In my eyes, although you have no severe external wounds at the mont, your internal organs are damaged, more serious is the backlash of the Hundred Netherworld Pill, which almost endangered your life.
I can hardly imagine what kind of fierce battle you two young kids have gone through, forcing you to swallow the Hundred Netherworld Pill."
As she spoke, her gentle eyes carried a hint of heartache.
Su Guanhai laughed heartily, patting Baili An’s shoulder, with a smile of appreciation, he said, "And what’s more rare is that this little guy was able to survive the backlash of the Hundred Netherworld Pill, this physique is indeed extraordinary."
Upon hearing this, the faces of both Baili An and Yin Baishuang instantly turned bright red.
"Alright, I’ll first take this young girl back to the house to apply dicine for her leg injury, and you take the little brother Baili down to stabilize his internal injuries."
Li Bansheng gracefully arrived from the corridor, gently taking Yin Baishuang’s hand.
Yin Baishuang looked at those gentle eyes and involuntarily let down all her defenses.
Of course, the most important thing was because she knew she was Li Bansheng.
"Thank you, Senior Li," Yin Baishuang let her hold her hand, turned to Baili An, and said, "I’ll co to see you later."
Baili An gave her a slight smile and said, "Your leg injury is hard to heal, motor skills inconvenient, so I’ll co to find you instead."
Yin Baishuang felt a warmth in her heart, thinking he’s really considerate, but... she also heard Li Bansheng say that his internal injuries were also severe, and couldn’t help but worry more.
She didn’t want him to bother back and forth just for a brief eting.
"Then, you should focus on resting first, when you’re better, bring so candied haws and rice wine to find ."
Upon hearing this, Baili An couldn’t help but smile knowingly, reminiscing about the sweet rice wine, he smiled and nodded.
Watching the yellow and green figures gradually fade into the distance, Baili An was also led by Su Guanhai to a separate residence in the mountains.
The sun slowly rose, the rosy sun hung in the dusky sky, bit by bit brightening, emitting dazzling and glaring light.
The small house was unusually serene, surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides, the mountain residence didn’t have other sect disciples guarding, only seeing the array light covering what the forest peak concealed.
Baili An followed behind Su Guanhai, passing through the courtyard lined with bamboo. He glanced at a closed bamboo house along the path where the sound of violent smashing could be heard inside.
Su Guanhai also heard the noise, his laughter slowly ca from the front, "Don’t mind it, it’s punishing Jing to copy books."
Baili An asked in confusion, "Why does copying books make such loud noise?"
This ti, the responding laughter carried a hint of helplessness, "My Jing, born with unstable Divine Soul, his acupoints aren’t open, and his mind is closed, though possessing good spiritual power, often finds it hard to control his strength.
Studying is even more of a struggle for him, so I punish him to copy books, which is more painful for him than directly beating him with a ruler.
I don’t know which deity my Su family offended in the heavens that even with fortune-altering techniques, I can’t change this child’s fate."
Jing’s nature is inherently volatile and reclusive, he never likes getting close to people, not even showing a kind face to and Ban’er."
Saying this, in the place Baili An couldn’t see, Su Guanhai’s typically carefree face revealed a hint of bitterness.
Although Baili An couldn’t see his expression, he could hear the heaviness in his words.
He sighed inwardly, indeed every family has its own difficult story.
Seeing the warmth and love between this Taixuan Sect couple, Baili An had been very envious.
Even more envious of the boy nad Su Jing’s parents who stick together and enjoy family bliss.
Unexpectedly, they also have their own hardships.
Seeing this spirited, free-spirited Sect Master Su rarely express a troubled side in front of him, Baili An couldn’t help but feel a hint of sympathy.
He comforted him, saying, "Junior actually can see it. Although Jing seems very distant from the two seniors on the surface, deep down, you care deeply for him.
And he might not be as distant as Senior Su says.
A closed heart isn’t the root cause, he’s probably just very lonely, needing family care and affection, he seems to carry a strong wariness toward the world."
The reason he could understand Su Jing’s caution was because he had seen the sa look in his own eyes, which allowed him to see so clearly.
Baili An didn’t dislike that dark, skinny boy, in fact, he felt a sense of shared plight.
He looked at the stopped figure ahead, continuing to say, "I wonder if Senior Su noticed, earlier when Senior Li said I could call her mother, Jing got angry."
Su Guanhai didn’t reply, stopping ahead as if lost in thought.
Baili An lightly smiled and said, "His angry look is like that of a child whose beloved attention suddenly shifts away from him, like a neglected child throwing a tantrum."
Su Guanhai finally turned around, the handso face that usually bore charm unbeknownst to the complex emotions now, his lips moved slightly, seemingly touched.
He looked intensely at Baili An, his eyes filled with anticipation, "Earlier, what did you call him?"
Baili An was stunned, "Jing? Is...is there a problem?"
Did he say sothing wrong again?
He thought, being of the sa generation with Su Jing, he could directly call him Su Jing.
But calling him by his full na in front of his father seed impolite, so he referred to him as Jing to not appear overly disrespectful?
Besides, he observed that Taixuan Sect’s Sect Master wasn’t overly strict about honorific titles, so he called casually.
Unexpectedly...his reaction was so strong.
"Hahaha... nothing, nothing, very good, very good... this title is very good!"
The next mont, who would have thought, this Sect Master’s face’s bitter, distressed gloom vanished, returning to the previous brightness, laughing heartily and freely enjoying.
Baili An uttered a sound, looking at the suddenly erratic Su Guanhai, he fell into confusion.
He realized that everything he said had gone unheard, the focus stuck solely on the na issue.
