Baili An pondered how Su Sect Master could know, and why Su Sect Master was so interested in him cooking?
Though puzzled, Baili An had always been an honest child, so he nodded in agreent:"Indeed."
Su Jing also nodded:"Quite delicious."
Seeing the satisfied expression on Su Jing’s dark face, Su Guanhai felt even more pleased, so much so that his gaze towards Baili An was as if he had found a treasure.
He no longer cared that the ingredients used in the cooking last night were terribly rare and precious, practically his junior’s taboo.
Now all he thought about was how his fine son-in-law could present himself in the hall, cook in the kitchen, and personally make als for his daughter to enjoy.
What’s more, his daughter ate with great joy.
"Ah Jing, these days, when you see your Uncle Feng, you should avoid him well, your uncle’s treasured items were all eaten by you both last night.
He is currently in the bamboo house throwing a tantrum waiting for you to walk right into his trap." Su Guanhai said earnestly.
Su Jing didn’t understand what he was saying at all, and carelessly nodded:"Oh."
But Baili An, his mouth twitched awkwardly, being clever as he was.
He naturally deduced that the ingredients he ate last night, though they seed unimpressive, were indeed precious treasures of the upper echelon of the Taixuan Sect.
No wonder that chicken claw was so sharp, and that fish’s scales sharper than a knife, it wasn’t any ordinary chicken or fish.
Baili An imdiately sweated profusely, hurriedly saying:"Should the younger generation offer apologies to that senior?"
Su Guanhai waved his hand:"We are all family, what apologies are needed, no need.
It’s just that my junior Feng usually has a generous nature, but once it involves his treasures it becos uncontrollable.
Now he is still angry, don’t provoke him, give it a few days."
Family?
Baili An felt even more amazed, it turns out the Xijian Sect and Taixuan Sect were this close already?
Even if close, aren’t you still fellow disciples?
Is it really right to favor outsiders this much?
However, seeing Su Sect Master personally descend the mountain to block the way here, it seems he also values this matter dearly.
Thinking about this, Baili An chose to abide by his wishes:"Yes, I understand, um... By the way, Senior Su, do you know if Miss Yin’s leg injury has improved? I wish to take her down the mountain for a stroll tomorrow."
Baili An thought, the Taixuan Sect is one of the current top Three Sects, naturally the sect would hold countless precious Healing Holy dicine.
Miss Bai Shuang’s leg injury, though serious, with the Sect Master’s wife personally attending to it, should surely heal quickly.
Unexpectedly, once these words were said, Su Guanhai’s smiling face suddenly stiffened.
Even his usually forthright gaze suddenly beca evasive.
Baili An’s heart imdiately skipped a beat, his face losing color:"Could it be Miss Yin she..."
"No, no..." Su Guanhai saw his misunderstanding, had to brace himself to explain:"Miss Yin’s injuries are stable and no longer concerning under my wife’s care, but this morning Brother Dufeng hurried to Tianze Mountain and took her away."
Su Guanhai spoke while sweating nervously behind him.
Baili An heard her injuries were stable, finally relaxed.
But then imdiately hearing her father took her away, his heart filled with surprise and disappointnt.
Even if Yin Baishuang’s father worried about her being alone outside, he shouldn’t act so haste, right?
How could there not even be ti for farewells?
She certainly wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye, Baili An speculated, then guessed seven or eighth was that the Cangwu Palace Master forcibly took her back.
As for why no eting or farewell... regarding this, Baili An had no words.
One is the beloved daughter of Cangwu Palace, with a bright future ahead.
And he, is rely an ordinary young master of Bai Tuo Mountain...
Baili An smiled bitterly, once again bowing deeply towards Su Guanhai.
Su Guanhai hurriedly reached out to support him:"I said no need to be formal, why still so courteous?"
Baili An’s clasped hands remained steady, refusing to be lifted, with his head lowered saying:"Young Baili An thanks Senior Su."
Su Guanhai was baffled:"Thank for what?"
Baili An didn’t move, with a calm tone responded:"Thanks to Senior Su for allowing to recognize my own place."
Su Guanhai’s palm trembled slightly, his expression turned sowhat complex.
This kid, truly clever like a demon, smart beyond belief.
With a few words, he practically revealed nothing, yet he already infered much.
Even more impressive is he guessed it was he who intentionally inford Yin Dufeng to co to Tianze Mountain.
And straightforwardly pointed out this, any ordinary junior might have endured it angrily?
Yet he pointed it out directly, yet in his words no trace of dissatisfaction was heard.
It’s amazing how one could really hear the sincerity of gratitude in his tone.
Thinking about it, Su Guanhai couldn’t help but look up at the carefree white clouds over Tianze Mountain, feeling a sigh in his heart.
If it weren’t for this kid’s limited cultivation aptitude, his future achievents might indeed far surpass that of his proud father.
Su Guanhai, a frank and open person himself, took a deep look at Baili An, touched his nose saying:
"For this I owe you, honestly I did indeed have so personal motive for notifying Brother Dufeng."
Baili An didn’t know the aning behind Su Sect Master’s personal motive, nor asked why he separated them.
He erased the bitter smile on his face, finally standing straight saying:"Senior Su you speak gravely."
It was precisely today’s event that woke him, allowing him to see the gap between himself and her.
Although defeated, he wouldn’t despair.
Precisely because her sudden departure woke him earlier, it wasn’t a bad thing.
Staring into Baili An’s clear and untainted eyes, Su Guanhai nodded with gratification, hands clasped behind his back, slowly heading up mountain.
"Now, follow up the mountain first, today’s visitors are not only Miss Yin’s father, but just now your father has also arrived."
Su Guanhai thoughtfully mused, in today’s Immortal Sect families all discussed that proud Xijian Sect Master regarding his only son as the sole blemish in his glorious life’s legend.
Even not holding much contemplation for his son, even the future Xijian Sect’s legacy might not be passed onto this son.
Now it seems, just hearsay.
He had notified Baili Yu today, in less than half a day he rushed from the distant Bai Tuo Mountain to Tianze Mountain.
The speed wasn’t much slower than Yin Dufeng’s deep concern for his beloved daughter.
Baili An halted his steps, subconsciously tensed his body, face visibly pale.
Su Jing nudged him, said:"Why stop walking, don’t you want to see your dad sooner?"
Su Guanhai turned back surprised, seeing Baili An’s lips pursed to a line, eyes showing a hint of fear.
A sudden naless anger surged within him.
This rage sprang suddenly, naturally not because of Baili An.
But stemming from his arrogant Baili Yu.
He pondered: how does Baili Yu usually treat his child, why when hearing his father ca for him, the courageous Baili An who faced powerful pig demons and Demon Sect without fear, showed such pitiful expression?
Baili An paled looking at Su Guanhai, instinctively gripped the Vermilion Bird Qiankun Bag in his sleeve, voice faint and nervous:"My... my father... he ca too?"
Despite Su Jing’s lack of understanding of the mystic way, in certain perceptions he far exceeds ordinary people.
He frowned looking at the side of Baili An’s face, the unreasonable evil glint faintly resurfacing.
Before Su Guanhai answered Baili An’s question, a steady and cold voice ca clearly from behind them three.
"I am already here."
