"..." Tianyue hesitated for a moment. Her gaze gradually hardened, and she spoke softly. "I'll stand against Uchiha. Spirit Hall is my home... But I'll beg Grandpa to spare your life."
Bai Ranmo let out a long breath and sat back down, crossing his legs.
"That's more like it. At least you haven't completely lost your head over love, unlike Bibi Dong..." Bai Ranmo sighed.
Tianyue looked puzzled. "What about Bibi Dong?"
Bai Ranmo hadn't meant to let that slip. After a moment's thought, he decided there was no harm in telling Tianyue a little.
"Bibi Dong's ex-boyfriend is that useless Master, Gangzi."
Tianyue: "...?"
"What are you talking about?" Tianyue stared at Bai Ranmo in disbelief, wearing the exact same expression Sasuke had when he learned the truth about his clan's massacre.
Bai Ranmo sighed. "I know you don't believe me..."
After a pause, he said, "But it's true."
"It's not like Bibi Dong is blind. Sure, she's a little stupid, a little foolish, and she's done a few too many terrible things..." Tianyue's voice grew quieter with every word until she fell silent.
Tianyue slammed her hand onto the table, smashing it to pieces. "Damn it! That idiot fell for that good-for-nothing, and somehow I'm not even surprised!"
"..." Bai Ranmo looked at the bed wrecked by a tail swipe and the table shattered by a slap. He fell silent.
"Did you come here to demolish my room?"
"Uh... Ahem. Don't get hung up on the details." Tianyue rose, looking a little embarrassed. "I'll be going. Sleep well."
She ran straight out.
"How the hell am I supposed to sleep?" Bai Ranmo was speechless. Sleep was out of the question now, so he might as well cultivate.
The next day.
