After all, she had known Xue Yang for several years. Although they had not spent all that much time together, Bai Yaoyao still counted him as one of her own.
It would certainly be inconvenient for Dark Night to take him along, but the Murong Family could. Anyone who could break into the top hundred in City D's Dueling Arena in such a short time had to have some potential.
Xue Yang was a sharp kid. The moment Bai Yaoyao said that, he understood what she meant.
After following Dark Night for these past few years, Xue Yang had come to understand Bai Yaoyao quite well. Sister Yao was worried that keeping busy with the store every day would hold back his training.
Xue Yang smiled, blushing a little as he answered sheepishly, "I like my life now. I don't have to worry about food or drink, and the work I do interests me. I've never really liked fighting and killing.
"At first, I had to earn a living with my father, so I had no choice. Later, Sister Xixi said she would teach me some skills to protect myself. She meant well, and I couldn't be ungrateful, so I trained seriously for a while.
"But I still prefer the life I have now. Sister Yao, you don't need to worry about me."
Bai Yaoyao frowned. In times like these, personal strength would always matter most.
Giving up on improving one's strength for any reason was extremely unwise. No one could rely on others forever. Keeping control of one's own fate was the safest option.
Still, everyone had their own aspirations, and she would not say any more. It was his choice, after all.
"All right. As long as you've made your own decision."
With that, Bai Yaoyao left.
