Chapter 96 Cats are in high demand
When Bai Qiming saw his father holding the delicate little uncle in his arms, with his blue eyes looking around curiously, his heart was melted by how cute he was.
He subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to hug this little uncle who was cutest ever.
However, Bai Feng just glanced at his son indifferently, slightly turned his arm to avoid his movement, and still held Xiao Bai Qingchen firmly in his arms, with no intention of handing him over.
Bai Qiming: "..." Father, I am your biological son!
Bai Qingchen was held in one arm by Bai Feng, his little head turning around, looking at his brother who had a young and handsome face and a temperament as calm as a mountain, and then looking at the Valley Master's nephew who looked to be at least in his early thirties and mature and steady. There was obvious confusion on his little face.
He tilted his head and asked a question from the bottom of his heart in his childish voice: "Brother, why does Qiming look older than you?"
Bai Feng remained expressionless upon hearing this, but he naturally turned his head slightly to avoid his son's resentful gaze. He replied calmly, "Being the Valley Master is tiring."
Bai Qiming almost suffocated. The reason why he looked old was all because of the Medicine King Valley.
He was once a handsome young man, but after he succeeded the position of Valley Master, because he looked too young, his qualifications were always questioned by the old antiques from other immortal sects. He was always furious at every immortal sect gathering.
Later, he simply used elixirs to slightly adjust his appearance, making himself look more mature and stable, which reduced the gossip.
Father, don't you know the bitterness of this? How can you downplay it so lightly?
Bai Feng ignored the storm in his son's heart. He needed to discuss important matters with Bai Qiming, so he handed the little Bai Qingchen in his arms and Lan Yu, who had always been following him obediently, to the temporary care of his eldest disciple Chen Yu, who came after hearing the news.
Chen Yu carefully took the chubby little master from the old valley master's hands. He felt that the faint glance from his master before leaving was full of invisible pressure, as if saying, "Take good care of it. If anything goes wrong..." He suddenly felt an incomparable heaviness on his shoulders.
Lan Yu stood obediently beside Chen Yu, looking at Bai Qingchen, who was almost a head shorter than him and was held in his arms. He said with a smile: "Bai Bai, I am older than you now, you should call me brother!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingchen blinked and pursed her lips slightly.
He twisted himself out of Chen Yu's arms and slid to the ground. He walked to Lan Yu with his short legs and looked up at him with his little face raised.
Lan Yu was still smiling, with an expression that looked like he was about to call me brother.
Then, he saw a white and tender little hand reaching out, pinching one of his cheeks without any hesitation, and gently pulling it outward.
Lan Yu groaned in pain, his eyes showing a hint of grievance.
Bai Qingchen let go of his hand and said in a condescending tone, "Call me brother, and I'll buy you a roast chicken." His tone was full of the tone of coaxing a child.
Lan Yu's eyes lit up instantly, and without any hesitation, he blurted out: "Brother!"
What backbone? It's nothing compared to roast chicken.
Chen Yu, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing when he saw these two funny guys, and the tension he had just felt dissipated a lot.
At this moment, the sound transmission note on his waist flashed a few times.
Chen Yu read the message and said to Bai Qingchen, who was trying to stand on tiptoe to compare heights with Lan Yu, "Master Bai, Junior Brother Bai Zhi and Junior Sister Liu Fuling are back. Your friend Mo Li is here with them, too."
As soon as he heard that Mo Li was back, Bai Qingchen immediately put the matter of comparing height with Lan Yu behind his mind. His blue eyes lit up instantly and he turned around and wanted to run out.
However, his short legs were not strong enough, and he had not run a few steps when the quick-eyed and quick-handed Chen Yu bent down and grabbed him back.
Chen Yu held Bai Qingchen in one hand and took the well-behaved Lan Yu's hand with the other, and walked towards the valley entrance.
The disciples of Yaowang Valley that they met on the road were all surprised to see that the always serious and reliable Senior Brother Chen Yu was actually holding one in each hand and holding the other hand, with two incredibly adorable children. They all stopped to watch in surprise.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and quickly evolved from "Senior Brother Chen brought two children" to "Senior Brother Chen has two children", and then to "The mother of the children ran away."
In the end, the story became outrageous: "Senior Brother Chen abandoned the children after having an affair, and the mother of the children ran away, leaving them behind." The story became more and more convincing as it spread...
On the other side, Yu Anyang was accompanying Mo Li into the valley.
Ever since he learned that Mr. Bai was personally picked up by the old master of Yaowang Valley, the young man had a cold face all the way, his aura was frighteningly low, and he even spoke very little.
Yu Anyang thought he was just worried about Mr. Bai's safety, so he kindly said, "Young friend Mo, don't worry too much. Master has great cultivation and will definitely take good care of Mr. Bai. They have already returned to the valley safely."
Before he could finish his words, he was surprised to find that the gloomy young man next to him, who had been giving off an aura of keeping strangers away all the way, suddenly brightened up his eyes.
The change was extremely abrupt and drastic, as if the dark sky was instantly torn open by the sunlight, and the whole person became lively and bright.
Before Yu Anyang could be surprised by the emotional change that was comparable to the face-changing in Sichuan Opera, a flash of light appeared before his eyes.
Mo Li's figure disappeared from his side in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was several feet away, standing in front of Chen Yu who was holding the child.
Bai Qingchen also spotted Mo Li at a glance and immediately struggled in Chen Yu's arms: "Mo Li!"
Chen Yu lost his grip on the little Bai Qingchen and he jumped down. He ran to Mo Li and looked up at him with his little face.
It was not until then that he belatedly remembered what he looked like now. His little face turned red and he quickly raised his two little hands to panically cover the pair of particularly conspicuous furry ears on top of his head.
However, my hands are small and my ears are big, so I can’t cover them at all, and it makes them look even more obvious.
He was a little nervous and apprehensive, and asked in a low voice: "Mo Li...Will you dislike me for being a demon?"
He had been hiding the fact that he had demon blood because he was worried that the young man would distance himself from him.
Mo Li looked at the kitten in front of him, whose ears and tail were drooping with nervousness, and his eyes softened incredibly in an instant.
He bent down, stretched out his hand, and gently but relentlessly lifted Bai Qingchen's little butt, then lifted him up steadily so that he could look at him at eye level.
"How could it be?"
Mo Li's voice was extremely soft, with an almost pious gentleness.
"Brother, no matter what he becomes, he is still my brother. Mo Li is just afraid that my brother doesn't want me anymore."
The last few words were spoken in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible, but with a barely perceptible tremor.
Bai Qingchen felt a little shy when he was suddenly carried so high up, and was held in this position by Mo Li. He twisted his body and whispered, "Mo Li, put me down. There are so many people watching here..."
He could feel the curious gazes of many Medicine King Valley disciples around him.
Mo Li's arms tightened around him, and he even subconsciously pulled him closer to his chest. He gently rubbed his chin against the top of his soft head and said stubbornly, "No."
If he lets go, someone else might take her away again. He doesn't want his baby, his A-Qing, to be taken away by others.
Just then, Bai Feng, who had finished discussing things with Bai Qiming, came over.
At a glance, he saw his newly found, precious little brother being held intimately in the arms of a young-looking boy.
The old Valley Master Bai, who was always gentle and elegant, and never showed his emotions, twitched slightly with the habitual smile on his face.
"Ah Qing," Bai Feng walked forward, his voice still gentle, but his eyes fell on Mo Li, "Who is this?"
Seeing his brother coming, Bai Qingchen wanted to get off again, but Mo Li held him tightly, so he had to introduce him in this position: "Brother, this is Mo Li, he is my... my adopted brother." He said it with a guilty conscience.
Bai Feng felt that he could no longer maintain his elegant demeanor.
He looked Mo Li up and down, his gaze especially lingering for a moment on the other's handsome yet vaguely familiar face. His tone sounded unchanged, but it inexplicably made people feel a chill.
"This young friend Mo Li looks quite familiar." He said with a hint of gnashing of teeth.
Mo Li met Bai Feng's scrutinizing gaze without any hesitation. The two men's eyes met in the air, and it seemed as if invisible lightning was crackling.
Bai Qingchen, who was caught in the middle and had no idea what was happening, nodded in agreement, his eyebrows slightly curved, and he smiled innocently: "Looks like it, right?"
Chen Yu, Bai Zhi, Liu Fuling and others who were standing nearby instantly realized that the atmosphere here was extremely dangerous, and they began to find excuses to slip away in tacit understanding.
"Ah! Master seems to be calling me!"
"Oh, the herbs haven't been dried yet!"
"Junior Sister Liu, let's discuss the case in Yuelun City..."
Everyone scattered, leaving only Yu Anyang, who was confused and had no idea what was going on.
"But Master didn't call us?"
Hua Bu Ran was speechless and ordered Zhu Yan to take the man away by force. If he didn't run away, others would be implicated.
