"I'm going to see my father. Do you... want to come with me?"
After returning to the Bai family, Bai Yumo looked at Bai Feng with a somewhat unnatural tone.
After all, it had been a long time since they had walked home together and talked face to face like today.
"No, I'm a little tired after the fight, I'm going back to my room to rest."
Bai Feng waved his hands. He could feel that Bai Yumo was still somewhat distant from him, so he naturally wouldn't get too close to her and ask for trouble.
As long as Bai Yumo still recognizes him as her brother, it's fine if their relationship is a little more distant.
It would be a success if my sister didn’t treat me as a villain!
Looking at Bai Feng's departing back, Bai Yumo sighed softly. In addition to nightmares, she also often dreamed about her childhood in recent years.
Even though she missed it, she also knew that they could never go back to the past.
Shaking the complicated thoughts out of her head, she turned around and walked quickly towards her father's study.
"You're back?"
Bai Tianyou stood in front of the table, writing on paper with a brush in his hand.
When he saw Bai Yumo knocking on the door and walking in, he put down his brush and a smile appeared on his majestic face.
"Well, my brother...had a little conflict with the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but now the matter has been temporarily resolved."
Bai Yumo was obviously a little unnatural when she mentioned Bai Feng's name, but she still recounted the whole story.
"It was handled well. It seems I don't need to take action." Bai Tianyou nodded slightly. "I owe the Lin family a favor this time. I don't know how that brat got to know the genius of the Lin family."
Bai Yumo inexplicably thought of the fan. Her instinctive feeling was that it was related to the fan, but she didn't know what the fan meant.
"By the way, father, please persuade my brother when you have time." Bai Yumo suddenly remembered something, "My brother's foundation is very solid, persuade him to practice more and don't let him go to that kind of place again."
Bai Tianyou did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared at Bai Yumo with curiosity for a few seconds, as if asking, why did you start to care about him?
Bai Yumo could easily see what her father meant by that. She looked a little embarrassed. "He is my brother after all, and that matter has nothing to do with him. When I saw him, I naturally wanted to give him some more advice..."
Bai Tianyou sighed. He was well aware of the hurt that incident had caused her. He also knew that she would never be able to get over it when facing Bai Feng. After all, his 'good wife' dug out the immortal bone for Feng'er.
"Okay, don't think too much about it. I will supervise the training of that brat."
"By the way, father, I want to look up what happened that year."
Bai Yumo raised her head with a determined expression - this was also one of the reasons why she came back. The bone digging incident had a great impact on her and it had almost become a demon in her heart, otherwise she would not have been having nightmares all the time.
Now that she has reached the great perfection of foundation building and is only one step away from forming the elixir, it is time to break the fear in her heart.
"It seems that you are finally going to face that thing." Bai Tianyou was not surprised. A big part of the reason why he kept those people who failed in the internal struggle among the third elders was for Bai Yumo.
Otherwise, with his temper, he would have killed these short-sighted guys who were always fighting among themselves.
Especially when he saw the distant relationship between Bai Feng and Bai Yumo, he became angrier and angrier. If he was really unable to bear it, he would run to the back mountain and beat up the Third Elder and the others in the name of sparring.
He stood up and walked to the bookshelf, picking up a thick book from it: "I have sorted out what happened back then. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me."
"Thank you, father."
Bai Yumo took the book, but did not leave. Instead, she began to read it page by page in the study.
As she frowned and looked thoughtful, a letter suddenly fell out of the book.
She quickly reached out to take it. The childish words on the letter seemed a little out of place in this serious event, and it seemed that it had been there for many years, and the paper had already turned yellow.
"Father, who wrote this letter?"
Bai Yumo took the letter and asked Bai Tianyou who was practicing calligraphy nearby.
"Oh, it was written by Feng'er. I almost lost it a few years ago, and I just found it again recently. It was him who discovered that someone had bad intentions towards you, so I was able to discover it in time." Bai Tianyou looked at the childish words on the letter with nostalgia on his face.
What a good child! He really treats Bai Yumo like a younger sister. It’s all the fault of the Third Elder and his wife and her gang!
No, I'm so angry! I'll go find the Third Elder and the others tonight to discuss things!
"Did my brother write this?"
Bai Yumo was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and read the contents of the letter carefully. Although it was a letter to her father, the content of the letter was full of concern for her.
In particular, the letter hinted intentionally or unintentionally that her mother had a bad attitude towards her, but after her mother's attitude towards her improved in the past two days, he suspected that there were ulterior motives, which really made her laugh and cry.
But in the end, it turned out that he was right, and their mother did have ulterior motives.
After reading the last sentence of the letter, she sniffed hard. She could clearly feel that Bai Feng truly treated her as a sister.
But what has she done all these years...
She felt like something was blocking her chest, making her feel stuffy.
Bai Feng was obviously very kind to her, but why did she doubt him? Even though Bai Feng cleared the suspicion in the end, she still felt deep down that he had ulterior motives...
She felt lost and puzzled.
In fact, this is like a poor man who has picked up gold. Everyone he sees as a thief or robber when he has the gold in his arms. What's more, the gold in his arms was almost snatched away by his relatives and friends. This has exacerbated this mentality, and he has begun to doubt even the people closest to him.
At this time, Bai Tianyou didn't know Bai Yumo's confused and complicated heart. Seeing Bai Yumo looking at the letter in deep thought, he wanted to ease the relationship between Bai Feng and her:
"Don't blame him too much. He has always cared about you over the past few years. He told us about the cakes he sent you every month before you established your foundation."
Bai Yumo nodded. She remembered that after the bone digging incident, Bai Feng looked for her as usual and wanted to take her out to play, but she refused.
As if he noticed her estrangement, Bai Feng seldom came to see her after that. But this was not a childish temper tantrum. He did not pester her or retaliate. Instead, he chose to respect her thoughts and keep his distance from her, and even took the initiative to move out next door to her.
The thick wall of insecurity in her heart seemed to crack at this moment.
"Father, I want to wait a while before watching."
She raised her head, as if she had made a decision.
Bai Tianyou waved his hand: "It's okay, the book is right here, you can come and read it anytime you want."
At the same time, Bai Feng was holding a novel in his hand, but he didn't seem to be reading it. His eyelids were trembling all the time, and it seemed that he might fall asleep on the table at any time.
At this moment, a message suddenly popped up on the system:
[Ding, it is detected that the Son of Luck has regrets towards the host, Luck value +30, and the cultivation level has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building. ]
Bai Feng: “?”
Which lucky guy is harming me?
