The four of them ate two plates of snacks and drank a bowl of tea before the man in white hurriedly returned.
Now he wasn't wearing white anymore, but a black outfit that showed off his physique.
Aside from when they were fighting, Gu Xin rarely saw Bai Yi looking so energetic.
Although he was almost thirty, he didn't look old at all in his white clothes. He entered the room with a smile on his face, but of course, the smile wasn't for Gu Xin and the others, but for Du San Niang.
"I'm back!" The man in white sat down next to Du Sanniang, poured himself a bowl of tea, and acted as if he were the master of the house.
Looking at Du Sanniang again, she seemed to have gotten used to such shameless people, and her face no longer showed any extra expression.
Gu Xin and the other three suppressed their surprise and asked about the important matter.
Du San Niang went to the kitchen. Actually, Gu Xin and the others didn't mind Du San Niang listening, but she was very self-aware and knew what she should and shouldn't listen to. She made an excuse to go to the kitchen to have someone bring her something over, and then got up and left.
“He has a destination today,” the man in white said, glancing at Cheng Huaijin.
"Did they go to Uncle Qingyuan's house?" Gu Xin knew what was going on as soon as she saw the way Bai Yi looked at Cheng Huaijin.
Cheng Huaijin's heart was in his throat. Although he had guessed it when he saw Shi Mu's words "Studying by the light of fireflies and snow" earlier, he still felt very uncomfortable hearing Bai Yi say this.
"Yes, he stayed on Miss Xue'er's roof for half an hour, until the lights in Miss Xue'er's room were turned off before he left," said the man in white.
"He went straight back after leaving?" Gu Xin asked again.
“Yes, he went straight back, unlike before when he was wandering around. After he got back, I checked, and he probably didn’t realize that anyone had been in the house,” the man in white replied.
Gu Xin, Gu Si, and Lu Zheng all looked at Cheng Huaijin.
Cheng Huaijin said, "Sisi just drew something. Show it to Xue'er tomorrow to see if it's something she used before."
Gu Xin: "Brother, we were planning to do that even if you hadn't said anything."
Gu Si said, "Brother Xiao Jin, Xue'er's memory isn't very good, she might not be able to remember it."
Lu Zheng said, "Xiao Jin, now that there's competition, are you getting anxious?"
Cheng Huaijin: "..."
The man in white said, "It seems he has no ill intentions towards Miss Xue'er, but rather affection. Didn't we say that Prince Frog had a scheme to win the final martial arts competition? I guess General Shi Mu probably also wants to win the competition so he can make demands on our Emperor! Based on my observations over the past few days, General Shi Mu is not the same kind of person as Prince Frog and Princess Pig at all. He knows what those two are thinking, but those two definitely don't know what he is thinking."
Gu Xin nodded and said, "Yes, Shi Mu seems much smarter than those two. If it's really as Bai Yi said, then it's simple. Just don't give him the opportunity to make demands of the Emperor during the martial arts competition. Brother, you can do that, right?"
“Of course he can do it.” Cheng Huaijin finished speaking, pursed his lips, clenched his fist, and added, “I’m afraid that besides this method, he has other ways to make demands of the Emperor. I’m worried that, in the future…”
"Brother, don't worry about that. The Emperor won't just arrange marriages for our Gu family's children. I don't know about other families' children," Gu Xin said with certainty.
