“How are you, Yunfei? Who is that man?” Liu Meng asked while looking at Bai Yunfei in a concerned manner.
“Oh, I’m okay. Don’t worry…” Bai Yunfei shook his head, but did not go on to answer her question. Instead, seeming to suddenly remember something, he asked: “Right, Meng’er, earlier you wanted to tell me something, what is it?”
“Oh? This…” Liu Meng did not expect Bai Yunfei to ask this question all of a sudden so after being startled for a moment, she lowered her head slightly, her face gradually reddening. Only after a long time did she say in a tiny voice: “It’s, it’s that… my father is about to return to Cuiliu City. I want, I want you to go and see him…”
“What?!” Bai Yunfei was stupefied and asked in astonishment, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Liu Meng lowered her head without saying a word. Her beautiful hair glided over her shoulders, covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.
On one side, Xiao Ning cut in, saying: “Mister Yunfei, this is what happened. Yesterday someone from the family found the young lady and told her that master already knows she’s in Cuiliu City and is very angry that she still hasn’t returned home in such a long time so he’s personally set out on a trip, rushing over here. He should arrive in the afternoon today. It’s possible young lady will be taken home. So… she wants you to go and have a meeting with master. Since you’re already a Soul Warrior at such a young age, you’ll definitely have great achievements in the future. Maybe after seeing you, master will… will agree to let her be with you.”
“This…” There was a complicated expression on Bai Yunfei’s face. It seemed he was at a loss as to what to do because of this sudden information.
At this moment, seeming to have finally mustered up enough courage, Liu Meng lifted her beautiful face and stared at Bai Yunfei, saying gently: “Yunfei, when my father arrives, he’ll definitely tell me to go home and keep watch beside Zhang Yang’s coffin… Could you go and see him with me? This means, this means we’ll go together. I think… I think he’ll agree.”
Bai Yunfei looked at Liu Meng in stupefaction. Just when she became anxious inwardly thinking that he would not agree to do this, Bai Yunfei’s slightly quivering voice came into her ears.
“Alright, tonight… And when?”
Liu Meng raised her head and said with a happy expression: “Um, I don’t know exactly when he’ll arrive either. Xiao Ning and I will go and meet him first then… I’ll talk with him a bit before telling Xiao Ning to go and take you there. Is this okay?”
Bai Yunfei fell silent for a short while then said with a nod: “Alright, then I’ll be waiting for your message in the tavern.”
“Mm! Then I’ll leave first, Yunfei. You should go back and prepare a bit. I think my father will definitely approve of you…”
After watching the two girls’ silhouettes disappear in the crowd, Bai Yunfei turned around with a complicated expression then disappeared on the other side of the street.
