Inside the Yan Clan's home, on top of a tall mountain peak.
Ling Xian stood with his hands behind his back as he stared into the distance. His white robe fluttered in the wind, exuding an extraordinary vibe.
Bai Xiao Qi's facial features were exquisite and her face was beautiful. She silently stood behind Ling Xian with a complex expression on her face.
After a while, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile and broke the silence, "You have been standing here with me for half an hour. Why haven't you said anything?"
"I …" Bai Xiao Qi wanted to speak but stopped. Her limpid eyes stared at Ling Xian's skinny silhouette. Mist began to rise from her eyes.
"Bai Xiao Qi, this is not like your usual cheerful self. Why are you stuttering?" Ling Xian chuckled. Because he didn't turn around, he didn't notice Bai Xiao Qi's strangeness.
Ever since he left the O Yang Clan, he rushed back to the Yan Clan. Then, he told Yan Xiong Fei about what happened to the O Yang Clan and about the alliance. Then, he returned here.
"Xian Ling, I …" Bai Xiao Qi was about to cry as she stared at Ling Xian's back with tears and gratitude.
Before Ling Xian left, she learned from Yan Xiong Fei what he was going to do. Though she wasn't sure what it was, it wasn't hard to imagine that it was going to be extremely difficult.
Now that Ling Xian had returned to the Yan Clan, though nothing seemed out of the ordinary, Bai Xiao Qi could tell that he was tired. This made her realize that he must have put in a lot of effort to complete the three tasks that led to the alliance.
Therefore, how could Bai Xiao Qi not be touched? As much as she was touched, she also felt guilty and heartbroken.
"Hmm?"
Sensing Bai Xiao Qi's sobbing tone, Ling Xian frowned. He turned around to look at the young girl who was about to cry and couldn't help but be startled. But very quickly, he understood, "It seems like you already know what I have been doing these past few days."
"I know, I know."
Bai Xiao Qi said "I know" twice and could no longer suppress the complex emotions she was feeling. As she cried, she wrapped her arms around Ling Xian and buried her head into his chest, "Waah … waah … waah … waah … Xian Ling, why are you so nice to me?"
"This …"
Feeling the softness and comfort on his body, Ling Xian was a little startled. He patted Bai Xiao Qi's back and smiled, "Alright, stop crying. Let me go. "
"No, I won't let go." Bai Xiao Qi's tears and snot were running down her face. She hugged onto Ling Xian tightly and cried into his chest to express the complex emotions she was feeling.
Ling Xian shook his head helplessly and consoled, "Alright, don't cry. Since I promised to help you, I will do my best. You don't have to do this."
"Why not? Are you stupid? I am not related to you in any way. Why are you so nice to me? Why are you doing so much for me? "Bai Xiao Qi's eyes were red and swollen. She hugged Ling Xian even tighter.
Perhaps to Ling Xian, these things were nothing. He was simply keeping his promise. But to Bai Xiao Qi, it was a huge favor. Especially when she was alone and in danger, Ling Xian was like a torch in the dark, giving her hope, light, warmth, and courage.
"You."
Ling Xian shook his head helplessly, "Bai Xiao Qi, if you don't let go, I will not care about what happens next."
"Hmmph, who are you threatening?" Bai Xiao Qi whined and mumbled, "I don't care. I want to hug you and I won't let go."
Ling Xian was completely helpless now, "Whatever, do whatever you want."
Hearing this, Bai Xiao Qi hugged him even tighter. She buried her head deeper into Ling Xian's chest, as if she was absorbing the warmth that made her so infatuated.
After half an hour, she finally loosened her grip. However, tears were still flowing from her beautiful eyes.
"Bai Xiao Qi, are you made of water? You sure have a lot of tears." Ling Xian smiled helplessly. He walked two steps forward and wiped away the tears from the young girl's eyes. He smiled warmly, "Alright, since I have returned safely and everything has been resolved, you should be happy."
"Yes, I am happy."
Bai Xiao Qi nodded and stared at the young man before her. She asked in a serious tone, "Xian Ling, why are you so nice to me?"
"What I promised you, of course I will do my best to fulfill it." Ling Xian grinned.
"Because of a promise …" Bai Xiao Qi's eyes were a little dim. But very quickly, she suppressed her disappointment and smiled, "No matter what, it's good that you returned safely."
"Not only did I return safely, but I also formed an alliance. Very soon, I will help you take back the Bai Clan." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He had gained a lot from this trip. Not to mention the alliance, just the benefits he had obtained from the three great clans were enough to make him extremely happy.
Hearing Ling Xian mention taking back the Bai Clan, Bai Xiao Qi's eyes brightened. But very quickly, she shook her head, "Xian Ling, I don't want you to put yourself in danger."
Ling Xian frowned, understanding what Bai Xiao Qi was thinking. His heart warmed and he grinned, "Idiot, the situation now is not something we can control. Even if we give up now, the Bai Clan and that mysterious force will not let us go."
"I …"
Bai Xiao Qi frowned, understanding that Ling Xian was right, "Then … then you must be careful. You cannot die."
"What do you mean by dying? It's inauspicious. Don't worry. Even if we lose this battle, I can escape unscathed. "Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips. But he was sighing inside.
Truth be told, he wasn't confident. After all, the mysterious House's capabilities were unknown. He wasn't sure if he could win in the end.
"That's good."
Bai Xiao Qi smiled brightly and stared at the handsome young man before her. She made a statement that was enough to shock the entire Trading Island.
"I have made a decision. If you help me take back the Bai Clan, I will give you all of the Bai Clan's assets. I will also make the Bai Clan the ruler for all eternity."
All of the Bai Clan's assets?
Make him the ruler for all eternity?
Ling Xian was stunned. Even with his mentality, he couldn't help but be startled.
Remember that the Bai Clan was one of the five controlling forces of the Trading Island. Just how rich was it? It was immeasurable!
What did it mean to be the ruler of the Bai Clan? It meant he would become the leader of the Trading Island and control one-fifth of the island!
This temptation was far too great. Even with Ling Xian's mentality, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. However, he had a strong mentality and quickly recollected himself. He chuckled, "Bai Xiao Qi, don't joke about this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the response he got was a resolute and unquestionable statement.
"I am not joking. I am serious. I have never been this serious. Whether you accept it or not, if you help me take back the Bai Clan, then everything in the Bai Clan will be yours. Including … me. "
