Late at night.
Having eaten and drunk their fill, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Lin Qian fell behind the others, not because he had drunk too much, but because Bai He had stopped him.
"Possessing such formidable strength could never be a matter of luck alone. You're the most talented and hardworking young man I've ever seen."
Lin Qian was a little surprised, not because Bai He had praised him, but because the man had come to him instead of Tang San.
Could it be... I'm your long-lost relative?
Despite himself, he thought of Bai Chenxiang. Becoming relatives didn't seem out of the question?
"You flatter me, Elder Bai. Compared with Spirit Hall's Saint Son, I still have a long way to go."
Ever since the battle ended and he joined the Tang Sect, Bai He had wanted a proper chat with this Grand Supreme Sect Master.
Smiling faintly, he pointed upward. "Shall we talk up there?"
"Sure~"
As soon as he spoke, space rippled, and Lin Qian appeared on the roof in an instant. Outdone once again, Bai He felt no frustration, only optimism about the future.
His figure flashed, and he sat down beside Lin Qian. "Sect Master, what do you think of Xiangxiang?"
A spoiled brat.
That was what Lin Qian thought, but aloud he said, "She's straightforward without losing her charm. I really like girls like her." As long as she doesn't mind this big family being a little crowded...
Unaware of someone's little thoughts, Bai He's eyes lit up. There was a chance. Such a noble, elegant, handsome young fellow-latching onto him would mean security for life, with no more worries about money!
They chatted some more afterward, mostly about the past-the Bai Chenxiang-exclusive edition-with the main aim of nurturing affection from afar.
