Chapter 78: Yun Xiao

’Since he is being sponsored by Shu’er, he will become a vassal after he graduates from the Academy, telling him this should be safe?’

Thinking this way, Yun Xiao looked at the innocent and beautiful white sheep, who seemed to be clueless about a thing going on in the world and facepalmed in frustration.

’This … just how could the fifth brother pick up such innocent and foolish guys out of the road so easily, when all I can find in a guy is lust and greed, a heart full of malice? It’s total luck that the fifth brother has such a keen and meticulous eye that can see through people’s hearts. I shouldn’t judge him by his looks when he is someone handpicked by Shu’er.’

“Hmm, your lord is doing just fine. About me, I do have some urgent matters I need to attend to here, actually it’s something gravely serious. And Eldest brother is also here beside me, since we met here, let’s go meet him too, who knows if you could be of some help or not.” Yun Xiao was blunt as ever as he told Bai Yunxian to follow him.

Bai Yunxian smiled faintly as he said, “Yes, sir.”

Precisely, he didn’t dislike the fact at all that Yun Xiao was being so obvious on using him for their work. Rather, he felt grateful because of the trust Yun Xiao had in him to involve him in a matter like this incognito visit.

Initially, no one in the Academy other than some higher ups could spot Yun Xiao as the Young Lord from a prominent family of the Capital. That’s why Yun Xiao didn’t try to hide or conceal his identity that much.

Even so, Bai Yunxian felt worried for him even if it was none of his business, perhaps it came from him due to being indebted to Yun family, a sense of responsibility weighing over his shoulder.

But if he were trying hard to conceal his identity too much, then he would look like a suspicious person, Bai Yunxian couldn’t shake off this possibility either.

“Young Lord, if you don’t mind, then I would like you to wear this cape, since you are here for an incognito visit.”

That’s why Bai Yunxian kept himself from almost meddling in their business as he put away the cape which he just took out and almost offered it to Yun Xiao.

’I’ll think of another way so that he won’t come off as a suspicious individual.’

As Bai Yunxian thought, he said to Yun Xiao from behind, “Young Lord, be careful of your surroundings. It won’t be good if someone were to recognize you, just like me.”

Yun Xiao turned his head to see the genuine concern on his face.

’This guy… is truly worried.’

A smile came up across his face as he patted Bai Yunxian’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, I’ve been doing jobs like this for a long time, kiddo. Rather, just think of an excuse if in case something happens.”

!

Bai Yunxian was stunned for a moment, watching how Yun Xiao believed in him so easily.

These people, why do they trust others so easily?

“By the way, what’s about those books in your hand? What are you gonna do with those old pieces of papers? Set fire in them to keep away the cold? Or to play ball?” For some reason, Yun Xiao’s attention was diverted to the inscription books in Bai Yunxian’s hands.

Since the Yun young lord’s were quite famous back in the Capital, each time Bai Yunxian made his comeback, he received new informations on them, of course except for Yun fifth lord, who was a mysterious man, enough to make the ladies stop their conversation in the middle whenever he was brought up.

Thinking about that, aside from the Yun young lords and the Crown Prince, there were quite a few men, known as the best bachelor and groom within the entire Empire in the marriage market. And some of them were from the commoners; while some came from respectable families.

Of course, Bai Yunxian has no sort of interest in them. Since whenever he got involved with any of them, there would be a big mess.

Even so, Bai Yunxian had a hard time residing in the capital because as if it were destined, he would meet with those guys in one way or another.

’All of them are crazy sex offenders, I just don’t know why god gave those crazy fu*kers so much wealth and power despite being such disgusting human beings.’

Sometimes, Bai Yunxian had thoughts like this one, making him enraged enough to flip the table placed in front of him during the ladies meeting, whenever they started to praise those parasites.

Though, those thoughts disappear the moment they bring out the topic of Yun brothers, as if soothing out his mind and healing his soul.

That’s why Yun Shu became his one and only salvation, after all…

Even if someone were to come and claim that all the other men were good people, he won’t believe them!

Even more than that, no outsider knows those people better than him.

For the second young lord and his personality, books would be the last thing to attract his attention. It’s only right for him to think of books like that. But Bai Yunxian wasn’t offended or anything as he knew very well about Yun Xiao’s personality.

“Not that, it’s some book for inscription. I decided to learn this art of inscription, but there isn’t much information I can find on this. That’s why I went to the secret section of the library to pick some.”

Bai Yunxian didn’t try to hide the information at all, which made Yun Xiao surprised for a while before he laughed out loudly.

“Hahaha, just in time, kiddo. You are so lucky to have met me, those books ain’t gonna help you much just till the beginning. After that, if you can show your improvement, then I’ll personally teach you!”
