Novel Full Rong Yi first asked Rong Huan to bring Bai Yunchen to Biluo yard. After drawing those runes and writing the formula and refining method for Xiang Lv, Rong Yi then went to see him.
Looking at the formula on the white paper, Xiang Lv knitted his brows tighter and tighter, finally he couldn’t help saying, “Master shifu’s handwriting really sucks!”
Even words written by a six-year-old kid looked better than his.
Having stared at some of the words for quite some time, he still couldn’t recognize what they were. He could only combine those words before and after to guess out what those ingredients were. Alas, it was really not an easy job to be Rong Yi’s disciple. He also had to have a pair of sharp eyes.
Bu Qi looked at those chicken-claw-like words and said, “I guess our master shifu doesn’t write often. His gesture of holding the brush isn’t right.”
Xiang Lv sighed, “Our master shifu’s hands are too delicate. Maybe I can write the formulas myself in the future.”
Bu Qi chuckled.
“I’ll go prepare those ingredients.” Once Xiang Lv went out of the room, he heard some hearty laughter. He then turned around and looked over to the pavilion, only seeing that Rong Yi was sitting in front of Bai Yunchen, laughing wildly. He couldn’t help picking his eyebrows. He had long heard that Rong Yi liked his senior brother. And now it looked that was true.
Rong Yi himself was also confused. He just had been in pretty bad mood. But after seeing Bai Yunchen, he felt indescribably happy, and a little bit shy, and some kind of long-time-no-see feeling.
But he clearly remembered that when he saw Bai Yunchen the last two times, he didn’t have such kind of feeling.
Seeing him so happy, Bai Yunchen involuntarily curled up his lips, “Are you all right?”
“Hmm?” Rong Yi was a bit confused, “Yeah, I’m fine. Why?”
“When I just came in, I heard some servant said you are going to be driven out of the mansion.”
Rong Yi, “…”
Bad news has legs!
“If I got driven out of here, will you find a shelter for me?”
“Sure.” Bai Yunchen took a sip of the tea and continued, “And Nine Void Sect also wouldn’t let you reduce to the street.”
Rong Yi raised his eyebrows, “Senior brother, are you here today to persuade me to go back to the Sect?”
“No, I heard that you passed the test and even defeated Chang Fuming, so I am here to congratulate you.” Bai Yunchen smiled faintly, “I feel like you’ve suddenly grown up and no long need my protection and you wouldn’t hide behind my back like before.”
Rong Yi smiled but didn’t say a word. He knew what Bai Yunchen was confusing about.
It was a natural thing Bai Yuanchen would suspect him. He had changed totally overnight. He had spiritual root now, and even kicked some disciple’s ass, who was even at a higher level than him. If Bai Yuanchen wasn’t getting suspicious of it, then he really wasn’t worthy to be his senior brother.
Bai Yunchen then went on, “Oh right, before I came to see you, the chief came to see me, asking me to inform you that he hopes that you could go back to check in when you have time.”
Rong Yi asked him, “The chief came to you in person asking me back?”
“Hmm.”Bai Yunchen felt kind of weird. Before the chief and those elders all thought Rong Yi would only bring disgrace to the Sect and wished that he could leave as soon as possible. Even the test showed that he owned spiritual root, they still found an excuse to drive Rong Yi away. But now the chief himself wanted him back? Then he tried to explain, “Maybe because you got tested to own the rare mutant Thunder-fire Spiritual Root.”
Seeing that he knew nothing about what had happened, Rong Yi immediately tried to switch the topic, “Oh right, senior brother, I met some disciples from Taiyuan Sect when I had the test that day. They all said you agreed to marry into their sect and the cancelled the engagement only because of me. They even tried to hunt me down.”
Bai Yunchen asked, “Are you all right?”
Rong Yi could see genuine care through his eyes, “Someone happened to be by my side and helped me get rid of them.”
Bai Yunchen said apologetically, “Sorry, I didn’t handle it properly and nearly got you killed.”
“I’m just wondering what your relationship with Taiyuan Sect is.”
After giving it some consideration, Bai Yunchen decided not to hide it from him, “About half a year ago, I heard that Elder Yuanyi from Taiyuan Sect has a spiritual seed. After putting it in one’s body, there’s certain possibility that one could grow spiritual root. So I went to their sect and inquire about it. After getting to know I was there to ask the spiritual seed for you, he agreed to transfer it to me, but premise was that I have to marry his granddaughter. And I agreed. But when I went back to Haishan City and found you always own your spiritual root, I decided to cancel it.”
Rong Yi said, “I never knew you did so much for me. I really don’t know how to repay you. Actually I’ve always had the spiritual root. It’s kind of recessive, so they can not test it out. If they hadn’t had me tested with that Hundred-color Ball, I really thought I am a useless loser with no spiritual root.”
Bai Yunchen’s lips moved a bit, as if he wanted to say something, but finally he swallowed it.
Rong Yi then added, “Oh right, on the test day, my grandfather and my aunts, they all came to me, saying that my dad has left a large sum of precious ingredients, is that true?”
Bai Yunchen shook his head, “They also came to me before. But I have never heard of such a thing before.”
Rong Yi touched his chin and said, “I always have the feeling that they are half looking for the ingredients and half looking for something else.”
Bai Yunchen’s eyes blinked a bit, but he didn’t say a word.
“Senior brother, last time I didn’t have time to entertain you. This time you have to have lunch with us before you go.”
Bai Yunchen nodded.
