Chapter 157: I’ll Return Your Love

“What? Did you finally decide to stop going back and send a letter to him?” Zhu Zhengting’s remark was sarcastic, but he meant it for real.

Over the weeks, Yun Shu received many letters from Bai Yunxian, but never replied to any of them. And he even forbade others to write or talk about his condition, not even to Zhu Zhengting.

It was out of pity that he wanted to write Bai Yunxian about how Yun Shu was fairing, but seeing how he frequently was facing the dangers and getting injured, Zhu Zhengting had to postpone the thought for now, since telling all the things happening here would only make Bai Yunxian anxious.

However, no one aside from Yun Shu’s closest associates knew that he’s been frequently visiting the estate, going back and forth between the two places at night, just to see how Bai Yunxian has been doing.

“Hmm, I don’t think so. However, don’t send it to him right away. Use it when you see the right time, since you are intelligent, guess I can believe you’ll use it at the right time?” Yun Shu seemed a little distracted as she looked at the guy, who seemed to be worried.

It was obvious that Yun Shu was going to try something dangerous, that’s why she was making preparations beforehand.

“Sigh… I don’t know what you are thinking, but I’ll remember it.” Zhu Zhengting shook his head as he put the envelope inside his pocket without a second thought, because he had a hunch that it was something that he couldn’t stop from taking place, no matter what he did.

“Thanks for doing this favor.” Yun Shu smiled faintly.

“It’s for the sake of my brother, don’t misunderstand.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. But I’m still grateful.” Yun Shu smiled broadly as she flattered him, she could clearly see his tip of ears turn red.

“By the way, you put that sly fox by my brother’s side, is he trusted?” Zhu Zhengting coughed as he looked away from Yun Shu, embarrassed as he tried to change the topic.

“He told me in his recent letter that he became friends with Chi Yan, so it’s fine as long as the pact with him is still in effect.” Yun Shu said as she looked nonchalant.

“I don’t know how or what pact you made, but I don’t believe that fox bastard. Remember to keep him in control, if he dares to touch my brother with ill intentions, I won’t let it pass.” Zhu Zhengting said as he looked at Yun Shu for the last time before walking out of the tent.

Recently, Chi Yan has been helping Bai Yunxian to train and cultivate daily, they also became friends in the meantime. But Yun Shu really didn’t feel that threatened by his position since she had the upper hand in it.

It was an improvement, so Yun Shu didn’t care, but she also told the fox not to say anything to him either.

He should face some circumstances meant for his growth too, it would be beneficial for them.

Besides, Bai Yunxian seemed happy to be interacting with other’s. He didn’t get to enjoy a normal life before, a normal family, and friends, talking to his peers and connecting with each other. These things were out of options, he didn’t have a second to think of those.

When Yun Shu saw him from a distance that he was laughing and scurrying around with children that Chi Yan bought with his clan members, Yun Shu realized how important it was for him to socialize with people.

’Anyway, the plan is in effect so I can’t back down at this moment.’ Yun Shu thought as she pounced on the bed and lied down with both hands on both sides, ’I wish I was able to see him for the last time.’

Ding!

[Favorability increased by + 5x!]

[Favorability increased by + 5x!]

[Favorability increased by + 5x!]

“Hehe.” Yun Shu laughed as she saw the screen flash before her eyes.

Every night, Bai Yunxian would think of Yun Shu. Naturally, the favorability would increase during that time.

’How much does he actually miss me? Does he know that I miss him too?’

’Why does it seem like he doesn’t feel this situation is unfair to him, even after I never sent him any letters. And after hearing this many scandals surrounding me, even if his favorability bar were to hit zero, I wouldn’t have been so surprised.’

’Instead, why does his affection increase over time. Gosh, he’s making me feel guilty…’

“I’ll make sure to return all the love you give me too, Xian’er.” Yun Shu whispered before closing her eyes, falling into a deep sleep and entering the dream land.

Ding!

At that moment, Yun Shu didn’t know a new Notification arrived for her.

***

“Put more pressure!”

Clang! Clang!

“Increase your pace! This much wouldn’t work!”

Shiiiing!

“This isn’t how you do it! Sharpen your sword more!”

“Do you think you can help anyone with that measly swordsmanship?”

“Shut up! I’m trying! I’m trying to do my best! I won’t give up no matter what it takes!”

Bai Yunxian clashed his sword with Chi Yan once more, the vibration put the air around them in turmoil whenever the sword clashed, and Chi Yan’s strength was a lot more than what Bai Yunxian could gather, he put pressure on him to make the guy retreat.

“You should do that if you want to be worthy of holding his hand and standing side by side. You promised to hold your head up in pride, didn’t you?” Chi Yan said as he stabbed his sword on the ground, his body was in straight line with the sword as he was staring up at Bai Yunxian.

“Yes. I did. And I’ll keep my promise too.” Bai Yunxian was determined as he looked at Chi Yan, cleaning off his sweat from his forehead.

“That’s a good determination, but we’ll have to stop here for today.”
