Life went on peacefully, but by chance, he learned that any information could be found on the "floating island" where the Saint lived. So he participated in the selection of the Saint's attendant. While repaying the Saint's blessing, he could also find out his life experience...
Yan Baibai already knew what happened next, but what she was more curious about now was who Bai Chaoxi's parents were.
So Yan Baibai continued reading.
His mother was a former saint, and his father was a poor scholar with only sweet words and a good appearance...
Although the former Saint was already a grandmother, due to her own cultivation and bloodline, the years had not left many traces on her face. Her husband had passed away many years ago, and she still had strong financial resources. Therefore, she had an unspeakable affair with the scholar who was trying to get close to her...
It seems that the mother does not like her child, and maybe she has cast a spell of bad luck on him. She did not take his life directly, but let him fend for himself. Otherwise, the luck of someone with the blood of the saint would not be so bad!
After reading to the end, Yan Baibai angrily crushed the jade slip in his hand, then ran out of the palace and began to look for Bai Chaoxi.
The pure white bird flew out of the floating island, skimming across the vast lake, and into a tall building by the lake. It easily landed in front of a window on the top floor. The window opened, revealing the four elders and Bai Chaoxi. All five of them had pale faces, clearly having exhausted their energy and spirit through the blood-reversing technique.
"By now, Bai Bai should have seen through your past." Elder Xi patted Bai Zhaoxi's shoulder with his remaining hand, sighed helplessly, and asked, "Won't you regret it?"
Because Bai Chaoxi called the saint "Bai Bai" in front of the elders every day, the four elders started calling the saint Bai Bai without knowing when.
Bai Chaoxi shook his head and whispered, "Bai Bai loves me too much now. If she sees my shameful past, she will definitely not like me as much anymore."
"But... I feel like things won't be that simple." Elder Xi scratched his head.
"Love is hard to disappear all at once." Elder Nan couldn't bear it any longer and explained, "Love slowly fades away amidst day after day of disappointment. If you show that girl your most vulnerable side, she will only love you more."
"How could this happen?" The four men looked at the only woman present - Elder Nan - in confusion.
"What you think is unbearable is nothing in front of someone who loves you. She will only feel more distressed for you." Elder Nan sighed and continued, "You might as well say that you knew the identity of Saint Baibai from the beginning. Everything you did before was just your attempt to become a waiter and to reach the floating island to uncover the mystery of your life experience. This is even more heartbreaking."
"This move is too cruel!" Elder Xi was the first to object.
"Yes!" For the first time, Elder East felt that Elder West was right, and continued, "This is more than just heartbreak. It's not right."
"Yes, our goal is not to drive Baibai crazy!" Elder Bei also echoed.
As soon as he thought about the consequences, Bai Chaoxi began to feel uncomfortable. His heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that he even breathed cautiously.
"You don't have to worry. In fact, there is a way to have the best of both worlds." Elder Nan said as he took out a white jade box. Everyone present could see what was inside through the white jade box.
"Love-addiction Gu!" The three elders from the east, north, and west looked at the jade box in the hands of the south elder in surprise.
"Isn't this the legendary poisonous insect? How can it really exist?" Elder Xi asked in disbelief.
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Elder Nan placed the jade box on the table and began to explain to the bewildered Bai Zhaoxi, "This is an ancient Gu worm. I only have two of them, one male and one female."
"Baibai loves you. Plant the female Gu on yourself first, and then place the male Gu on Baibai. Within three days, she will definitely no longer love you at all..."
"Boy, we can't say much about this matter. Think about it carefully."
After he finished speaking, the figures of several elders disappeared in the room, giving Bai Chaoxi enough time and space to think calmly.
The room suddenly became empty and quiet. Bai Chaoxi's eyes were fixed on the white jade box on the table. He clenched his palms tightly with both hands. When he felt the familiar tingling in his palms, Bai Chaoxi came to his senses and took a deep breath.
He looked at the blood on the palm of his hand and was stunned for a long time. He seemed to hear Yan Baibai muttering to him in dissatisfaction and heartache, and then began to treat him.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but when his gaze shifted and he saw the jade box on the table, the corners of his mouth froze again.
Putting down the corners of his mouth, Bai Chaoxi gently rubbed his hands together, and the wound on his hand became as good as new, the same healing technique as Yan Baibai...
"Puff..." Bai Zhaoxi suddenly sneered, pursed his lips, and his originally dry eyes were instantly filled with tears, which then rushed out of his eye sockets and flowed silently down his cheeks...
Bai Zhaoxi buried his face in his hands, his shoulders shaking from time to time. The room was always silent...
