Chapter 77: His Wish

Sometimes, Bai Yunxian wondered what it would be like to live a normal life, having a warm, small and cozy cottage in a countryside village, raising cattles, farming in a small garden, living an ordinary life, like an ordinary person. Marrying a kind, beautiful wife and having children, growing old together and dying with a peaceful last breath…

Of course, all of this was just his delusions, as Bai Yunxian knew that he could never live such a peaceful life, like other ten ordinary people.

’What am I even thinking, all of this are just my delusions. Let’s just go and decipher those inscriptions first to get strong, or else I’ll lose this chance to live as well.’

As Bai Yunxian thought, he shook his head and stood up with all the books secured in his arms, and finally walked out of the secret section in the library.

“Did you find what you wanted, student Bai?” The librarian was as kind as ever as she asked Bai Yunxian with a warm and gentle smile.

“I did, Madam. Thank you for the help yesterday.” Bai Yunxian didn’t forget to thank the woman who helped him a lot.

“Oh my, don’t mention it, dear. I barely did anything at all, it’s all due to the honorable guest who helped for real, if he didn’t give you the permission, then I wouldn’t have been able to do anything at all.” The librarian seemed to become bashful after getting thanked by him.

However, Bai Yunxian was soon kicked out of the library after a person came to clean the library. Since all the classes were done today, having nothing else to do, Bai Yunxian started walking back to his dorms.

Just as Bai Yunxian took a turn, he suddenly bumped into something that made him bounce back a few steps.

“Ugh”.

Today is really such an unlucky day, how much time did I fall?

“Ouch! Ohh…”

Just as Bai Yunxian got his forehead crushed, another painful sound was also coming from the opposite side which made Bai Yunxian turn his head up to see the individual.

The guy wearing a long red robe with black and silver lining, along with the same color hair just like Yun Shu, was groaning in pain as he rubbed his forehead with a frown on his handsome face.

’This is…!’

Bai Yunxian didn’t fail to recognize those unique clear and sharp blue eyes, it’s not a mistake that the person he was facing right now was…

“Lord Yun?” Bai Yunxian was surprised, and at the same time, happy.

“Yeah…huh? How do you know who I am? What’s your identity, Young man?” Yun Xiao looked at the beautiful man in front of him with a frown.

“Ugh! Another beautiful guy? Listen, your tricks won’t work on me. Whoever told you to do this, tell them that I’m not like my brother, and I won’t get seduced by those measly tricks. Tell them you can’t do this and go away, I’m not in a good mood right now to play around with you…” Yun Xiao waved his hands with annoyance as he almost walked away.

Bai Yunxian was annoyed and confused at first, however, upon realization, a smile rose on his lips gradually as he looked at the guy who was almost walking far away from him with big steps, as if trying to run away from his nemesis.

Right, he almost forgot about the reputation the Yun brothers had within the Capital city, none of them were interested in marriage or women, so the nobles thought that those guys might be into beautiful boys in secret.

That’s why they got tormented for a long time, since wherever they went, people will send beautiful and young boys to them, be it by sneaking them into their bed, or sending them as tributes.

Since they worked around men usually, and never got in contact with women, perhaps he was thinking that this meeting was not a coincidence, and Bai Yunxian was going after him?

’His imagination sure is wild, but if I were to go after someone, then it would be his brother, not him.’

As Bai Yunxian thought, he grinned at the guy behind his back as he called out, “Lord Yun, you misunderstood. I didn’t come looking for you.”

Those guys from the Yun family, although they were strange and funny, they were the first people to see Bai Yunxian as a normal person, not as a way to stir their desires.

“Huh? What do you mean you weren’t sent by them? If you aren’t, how are you planning to say that you know me?” Yun Xiao didn’t believe the guy’s claim as he furrowed his brow, looking at Bai Yunxian like he was the most suspicious person in this world.

“Because I’m from the Capital. I’m also sponsored by your brother, My Lord. Nice to meet you, I’m Bai Yunxian.”

A simple introduction, along with clearing the suspicion and misunderstanding, Bai Yunxian greeted his future to be brother- in- law with a smile.

“You…! Ah, I remember! So, you are that pretty face who is being sponsored by the fifth brother in this Academy! Fancy meeting you here, how is your study? Is everything going on alright?” In an instant, Yun Xiao’s attitude towards Bai Yunxian changed completely upon the mention of Yun Shu.

The youngest member of the family had the most authority over everyone right after their father and mother, it was common for him to change his attitude upon the mention of this matter.

“I’m doing fine, how about the Lord? What brings you here all of a sudden?” Bai Yunxian wasn’t sure about the sudden visit of the Yun’s in this area that was entirely managed and monopolized by the Shen family.

Did something serious happen within the time I went out of the Capital?

Bai Yunxian was worried, and his anxiety could be seen by his facial expression. Yun Xiao pondered over whether to tell him about the thing or not.
