The selection of the Saint's personal attendant ended successfully, and Bai Chaoxi was personally chosen by the Saint as her guardian.
As for the remaining four candidates, if the four elders like them, they will pick them and either give them jobs, or choose them as their apprentices, or recommend a good place for them. In short, it is a great opportunity.
But in the next four months, the four elders will stay and teach Bai Chaoxi personally. They will teach him everything they know, whether it is martial arts or how to deal with things. After all, they cannot be careless when it comes to protecting the saint.
That night, Yan Baibai quietly left her floating island on the lake as usual. When she arrived at her own courtyard, she saw a familiar figure standing upright in front of the courtyard gate.
"Chao Xi!"
When Bai Chaoxi turned around, he saw the girl running towards him. She opened her arms and the smile on her face was still as bright and dazzling as before.
As he ran closer, Yan Baibai jumped with his feet and landed on Bai Chaoxi. The action was so sudden that Bai Chaoxi was stunned for a long time. When Yan Baibai was about to slip, he still held Yan Baibai's body with his hands honestly.
Bai Chaoxi still didn't speak. Yan Baibai looked up at him, but he didn't lower his head. However, Yan Baibai could still hear his rapid heartbeat.
"Chaoxi, your heart is beating so fast." Yan Baibai put his ear to Bai Chaoxi's chest and said.
"You...you look like this..." Bai Zhaoxi's Adam's apple moved up and down, his voice a little interrupted, and he said: "How...how can you look like a saint at all."
"Are you still angry?" Yan Baibai got off Bai Zhaoxi, suppressed the smile on his face, and explained to Bai Zhaoxi seriously: "I didn't mean to hide my identity. I was afraid that you would stay away from me after you knew it."
Yan Baibai lowered his head and asked softly, "Can you forgive me?"
"I, I'm not angry with you." Seeing Yan Baibai like this, Bai Chaoxi began to feel at a loss. He stretched out his hand to lift Yan Baibai's head, but when he thought of her identity, his hand stopped abruptly in mid-air.
"I was mad at myself." Bai Chaoxi continued, "I almost didn't participate in the waiter selection."
He was absent-minded that day, thinking about Yan Baibai. He suddenly didn't want to be the Saint's attendant anymore. He should protect Yan Baibai. Just when he was about to give up, the Saint appeared...
After knowing that the saint was Yan Baibai, he was indeed unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He then heard the conversation between the elders and looked at the brave men from all over the continent on the field. They were all competing with him for the qualification to accompany the saint. If he gave up now, there would be another man by her side in the future... So, he was angry!
"Baibai, if I hadn't participated in the competition..." Bai Zhaoxi looked at Yan Baibai who also looked up at him and asked hesitantly, "Who would you choose to be your waiter?"
The Saint's name was "Bai Nianyue," but the people of the Cang Continent usually just called her "Saint Lady" or "Saint Nianyue." When Bai Chaoxi first met her, she had called him "Bai Bai," which he probably didn't think was her real name, but for some reason, he felt it fitted her better.
"Well... do you really want to know?" Yan Baibai tilted his head towards Bai Chaoxi.
"...Yeah." Bai Chaoxi nodded.
Yan Baibai stared at Bai Chaoxi for a long time, then took a few steps forward, reached out and pulled Bai Chaoxi's hands, which were hidden behind his back, in front of her. She used very light force, but still did not encounter any obstacles.
"Why do I always clench my palms when I'm nervous? They always get pricked and bleed. It must be so painful."
As Yan Baibai spoke, he gently pried open Bai Chaoxi's clenched fingers, then placed his hands on them and began to perform healing magic. After a few breaths, the small wound completely disappeared.
Yan Baibai carefully wiped the blood off Bai Chaoxi's palm, looked up, and met Bai Chaoxi's focused gaze. His dark eyes were like a distant deep pool. If you looked at them for too long, it seemed as if they would suck you in. They were dangerous and charming.
"Baibai, you haven't told me your answer yet."
Bai Chaoxi's eyes began to turn slightly red, with a hint of wateriness appearing in them. He pursed the corners of his lips, then gently bit his lower lip... The two of them had known each other for so long, and as long as Bai Chaoxi made such an expression, Yan Baibai would immediately come over to coax him - Bai Chaoxi knew it, and it always worked.
"I won't choose anyone else. I only want you, Chaoxi."
This time, Yan Baibai didn't just coax him with words. She stood on tiptoe and gently touched Bai Chaoxi's lips. When she stepped back, her whole face was red as if it was burnt.
The system, which was watching the show with gusto, spat out the tea in its mouth again. It had always known that between the host and Bai Chaoxi, the host was the more passionate and proactive one, but it had not expected that the host would be so reckless as to actually initiate a kiss...
I heard that human men prefer gentle and reserved women. I wonder if Bai Chaoxi will be frightened by his host's actions. Thinking of this, the system was about to retrieve the other party's data. Before doing so, it glanced at Bai Chaoxi and then silently stopped.
Bai Chaoxi's face was even redder than Yan Baibai's. He even forgot to breathe. If it weren't for his cultivation, he would have fainted from lack of oxygen. His brain was no different from when he fainted, because he could no longer think.
Afterwards, the two parted ways in confusion. For the next few months, as the Saint's personal attendant, Bai Chaoxi received instruction in magic from the four elders, while Yan Baibai also had tasks for the Saint. They met rarely, and whenever they did, Bai Chaoxi would bear wounds of varying sizes. Since Bai Chaoxi had become Yan Baibai's personal attendant, Yan Baibai openly treated him.
Yan Baibai was not a person who was good at hiding her feelings. She had noticed the "special" elder of the new waiter and those around her, but both of them performed their duties very well, even better than their predecessors, so no one said much.
But Yan Baibai still sensed the elders' attitude from Bai Zhaoxi's increasingly serious injuries...
"Did they give you a hard time?" Yan Baibai was truly heartbroken. "I'll go talk to them. They're too strict."
"What parent wouldn't be angry if the daughter they raised was taken away by a man?" Bai Zhaoxi smiled happily. He rubbed Yan Baibai's head and said with a doting smile, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
"Then tell me if you can't bear it anymore, and I will elope with you!" Yan Baibai noticed the elders eavesdropping outside the door, so he deliberately spoke loudly.
Bai Chaoxi knew everything from the grimace on Yan Baibai's face. He just smiled and told her to go play without saying anything.

It is already looking for a hill to dig wild vegetables for its host.
