"Ye Tong won't follow you …"
"Bang!"
Li Xiang's words were cut short by a dull thud. His body swayed, but he did not collapse immediately. His vision blurred, and all he saw was his sister nodding slightly at Bai Shanshan. Then, he felt something hit him hard on the back of his head.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Bai Shanshan took a step forward and hugged his body, but she did not expect a strong resistance from him.
Li Xiang roared and used all his strength to push her away. Seeing that his hands were about to touch her chest in a panic, Bai Shanshan instinctively reached out to block them, but she realized that his hands had turned in the next second and were reaching for the steam pistol at her waist!
This guy could still think so clearly even when his consciousness was fading. Bai Shanshan even suspected that she had gone too easy on him. Fortunately, the difference in strength between the two of them was huge. She swayed her body and dodged Li Xiang's hand. Then, she hooked her right leg and knocked Li Xiang onto her shoulder.
"Ye Tong …" Li Xiang was still mumbling his sister's name. His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his face were bulging. Blood was rushing to his head, but he was forcing himself to stay conscious.
Bai Shanshan was inexplicably frightened by his terrifying willpower. She reached out and grabbed Li Xiang by the neck and growled, "Are you crazy? Do you want to die? "
His method of forcing blood to flow to his brain was extremely dangerous. Bai Shanshan did not know where he had learned it, but this method was very damaging to the body. It was a last resort when facing an enemy and had no choice but to stay conscious.
"Bang!" Her hand chopped down.
The young man finally collapsed in her arms.
Bai Shanshan lifted him up and placed him on a chair. Only then did she realize that his hands were still gripping her uniform tightly. It took her a lot of effort to loosen them.
After dealing with Li Xiang, she felt that her whole body was covered in sweat, as if she had just gone through a huge battle. She lowered her head and looked at Li Xiang who was lying on the bed. She was too cold. After Li Xiang fainted, she no longer had that innocent and pure expression.
Biting his lips tightly, his face turned ghastly pale.
She didn't know why Li Yetong could give such a decisive answer in the first place. She was grateful to Li Xiang for giving the siblings a choice, but at the same time, she would respect Li Yetong's personal choice.
After all, this was her own business.
"Sister Shan Shan, if my brother and I escape, there should be very powerful people coming to catch us, right?" She asked softly.
Bai Shanshan nodded. "In fact, this matter was originally the work of a distant cousin of mine. She is ruthless. If you were caught by her, there would only be one result. Your judgment is correct. Very smart. "
"I just don't want to be a burden to my brother." Li Yetong lowered her eyes and let Bai Shanshan carry her up from the bed. She clutched a piece of paper tightly in her hand. That was the fuse that made her make the decision.
She didn't want her existence to be a burden to Li Xiang in the end.
Even if he didn't care at all.
"Burden? Sister Yetong, when you see your Sister Yuhan tonight, you will understand. Leaving him today is the best choice for you and him. " Bai Shanshan hugged her and asked if there was anything she wanted to take with her. Li Yetong shook her head and only asked to touch her brother's cheek gently.
It was still so warm.
"Don't worry. I will arrange everything for Li Xiang. He will be fine." Bai Shanshan patted Li Yetong's back. "You, on the other hand, are you sure you don't want to tell him the reason?"
"Yes, that's good." Li Yetong replied softly.
By the time Bai Shanshan brought Li Yetong back to the military building, it was already late at night. Bai Yuhan, who had been informed by her, immediately put down the investigation on the sudden appearance of the "tarot card" members and summoned everyone from the Bai family to the military building.
At the same time, Lélie suddenly received orders from the higher-ups in the military to keep this matter a secret. All information related to Li Xiang and Li Yetong's files were also destroyed that night.
Lélie leaned against the door of the military archives room and puffed on his cigarette. His expression was uncertain. In the end, he sighed deeply and secretly hid a copy of Li Xiang's information.
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the empty hallway of the military building. A group of people in white led by Bai Yuhan walked towards the innermost room.
There were two soldiers guarding the door of each room. The rank of the badges on their shoulders were not low. All of them looked solemn and unchanging.
Bai Yuhan calmed the excitement in her heart. Even when she pushed open the door, she was still thinking about how to communicate with the most special sister in the family.
The door opened.
Bai Shanshan was by Li Yetong's side. When she saw Li Yetong sitting in a wheelchair, she was stunned at first. Then, she tried her best to squeeze out what she thought was a gentle smile on her cold face.
A few people on the side tried to hold back their laughter. It was the first time they saw the famous witch in the family forcing a smile. It was very strange.
"Li Yetong …" Bai Shanshan stood up and greeted the others with "Supreme White King". She wanted to introduce Li Yetong but was coldly interrupted by Bai Yuhan.
"Her surname is Bai. As for her name, she will be given one when she returns to the family. " Bai Yuhan waved her hand and then pointed at the people behind her. Li Yetong noticed that the two men and one woman behind her were young people about her age.
When they heard the word "name", the three of them showed obvious envy on their faces.
"Yetong, I'm Bai Yuhan. In terms of seniority, I'm your cousin." Bai Yuhan walked over and squatted down. She touched her legs and felt an electric shock that stimulated the Bai Clan Dragon Mark on her body. The feeling of bloodline suppression would not be wrong.
"Cousin Yuhan." Li Yetong smiled, but in her heart, she remembered that Bai Shanshan had mentioned a cruel and merciless distant cousin. It should be Bai Yuhan. She also noticed that the silver-haired and exceptionally muscular young man among the two men and one woman kept sizing her up. His gaze was different from the slightly restrained ones of the other two.
It was the feeling of looking at someone of equal status. He had never looked at anyone else in the room, including Bai Yuhan.
"Let me introduce you. He's Bai Haiting, three years older than you. He's from the sixth branch family. She's Baimiya, two years older than you. She's from the fourth branch family. He's …"
"Cousin Haiting, Cousin Meicha." Li Yetong put on an innocent expression. It was especially strange in front of Bai Shanshan, who had seen her true face.
Bai Yuhan's voice was coldly interrupted by the silver-haired young man.
"Bai Lihu, Cousin Tong, after you greet Third Uncle, I'll bring you to the main family to play."
"Thank you, Cousin Lihu." Li Yetong maintained her smile. The silver-haired young man in front of her had an imposing aura, but when the light shone on her, it was gentle.
The simple reunion ended. Li Yetong vaguely sensed that something was about to happen to her. However, before boarding the airship, she did not expect it to be far more terrifying than she had guessed.
"Cousin Lihu always looks like he's about to eat someone. However, Cousin Tong Tong, you don't have to be afraid. I'll protect you from now on." Baimiya seemed to be more friendly. She grinned and came over to push Li Yetong's wheelchair. Li Yetong paused but did not stop her.
The group quietly left the military building. Baimiya whispered many things about the Bai family to her. Bai Shanshan walked in front, followed by Bai Lihu and Bai Haiting, and Bai Shanshan was at the back.
Only then did Li Yetong know that tonight, she was going to take the airship of the Bai Clan Heavy Industries to City 0001 where the main family was located. Her brother was also going to the famous Keihoku University in that city. She originally thought that the two of them would be separated by countless distances and that it would be difficult for them to see each other in the future. However, when she thought that they would be in the same city, the haze on her face quickly dissipated, and she revealed a rare sincere smile.
The atmosphere among the Bai family members who did not distinguish between each other and had nothing to do with the main family made her feel very comfortable.
In the past, other than her brother Li Xiang, almost everyone who interacted with her looked at her with prejudice. Even Aunty Wang, more or less, had some sympathy for her.
Li Yetong, who was extremely strong, did not like this.
In the eyes of Baimiya and the others, they did not have any other feelings for her. There was only the brotherhood between the Bai family members.
Perhaps, this was not a particularly bad thing. As she thought this, she was pushed onto the huge airship parked on the roof.
The starry night sky was bright and brilliant. When she was young in the orphanage, she would often sneak out to look. Lying on the grass, she could see countless beautiful little stars.
At that time, her brother would hold her finger and gesture while telling her which stars were connected together and which constellations they represented.
After leaving the orphanage, she did not have such days anymore.
She was afraid that she would be hurt, so she rarely had the chance to leave the small storage room alone. As her brother's studies increased, the days of coming out in the middle of the night to relax also disappeared.
"It's so beautiful." She whispered softly. Only Bai Yuhan and Bai Lihu accompanied her on the airship. Baimiya waved her hand vigorously below, and her flamboyant smile was deeply engraved in her mind.
The airship spewed out a few thick streams of steam, and all the mechanical parts started to operate slowly after trembling for a while. There were several patches on the airbags of this dilapidated airship, but no one dared to underestimate the enormous white dragon insignia on them.
Li Yetong sat in a new wheelchair, surrounded by many maids in white uniforms. On their collars was the Bai family's emblem, a ferocious white dragon. Through the window, she could see the top of the military building gradually turning into a black dot. Baimiya was still waving her hand, and her face was filled with an incomparably flamboyant smile.
After boarding the airship of the Bai family heavy industry, Li Yetong's heart suddenly became empty, as if something important was about to disappear. She clenched her chest and felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.
Bai Yuhan and Bai Lihu dismissed the maids around them and sat in front of her. They began to slowly talk about the Bai family and the Book of Prophecy. However, Li Yetong's mind was now full of Li Xiang, and she only listened absent-mindedly.
After talking for a long time, she suddenly said, "Cousin Yuhan, is Keihoku University very powerful?"
"When you go back, you'll see Third Uncle, and you might even see … Huh?" Bai Yuhan was talking excitedly, but she was suddenly interrupted and did not react for a moment. "Keihoku University's player major is indeed not bad, but it's very bad for you."
"It's just trash." Bai Lihu shook his head and said coldly, "With Third Uncle's connections, Cousin Tong will at least go to the same level as Lighthouse Academy. The Chronometer Tower Consortium's universities are not bad. If Cousin Tong is willing, I can bring her to the Black Lotus Kingdom where I studied."
"You don't have to worry too much. After the bestowment of a name, there will be a sequence. After that, there will naturally be people who will arrange for Cousin Tong's matters." Bai Yuhan chuckled. Only someone of Li Yetong's status could make Bai Lihu, who was usually a man of few words, speak so much.
Was it just trash? Li Yetong did not know what to feel at that moment. It was a bit like the story of Cinderella in a novel. But was she a Cinderella who had a moment of glory, or was she an ugly duckling waiting to change?
"Oh right, cousin Bai Yunfei didn't come today. He's been acting rashly all day, and it seems like he's still pestering the young lady of the Fei family?" Bai Yuhan took a sip of the red wine in her wine glass and suddenly frowned, "Speaking of which, the young lady of the Fei family is Li Xiang's … girlfriend?"
When she said this, she glanced at Li Yetong. The meaning in her eyes was obvious. Should she step in and stop something?
Li Yetong's eyes flashed with a cold light, but in the end, she shook her head.
Her brother did not need this kind of charity. Her brother would never be defeated by such an enemy.
"Oh right, cousin Yuhan, does my leg have anything to do with my coma?"
At the mention of this, Bai Lihu's interest was immediately piqued. He explained, "In our house of Bai, a portion of us will awaken the mark of the Bai family. This represents the purity of our bloodline. When the mark is awakened, it's different. Some will feel intense pain, some will feel absent-minded, and the most serious will be fainting. Your situation is similar to mine. It's because the amount of magic particles accumulated in your body is too much for your body to handle. If you don't clear them out, it'll affect your connection of the six circuits in the future. "
Bai Lihu paused. This time, there was a trace of envy in his eyes.
"You awakened the mark by fainting, and then your legs were paralyzed. This means that you still can't clear out the magic particles in your body. When we touch you, we feel a different degree of bloodline suppression. Only the Prodigy … chosen by the Book of Prophecy can suppress my bloodline like this."
Li Yetong suddenly realized something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"What's wrong, cousin Tong? You don't have to worry. Your legs will be fine as long as you completely clear the magic particles in your body when you reach adulthood. "Bai Lihu thought she was worried about her paralysis and quickly comforted her.
Li Yetong shook her head and bit her lip. After a while, she asked, "Cousin Lihu, is it possible for the mark of the Bai family to awaken after fainting multiple times?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this? In my impression, only one person has awakened this way. According to the theory of awakening, it's the highest level of talent closest to the White King! In fact, the so-called Bai family mark is determined by how close our bloodline is to the White King. Only when the similarity is more than 50% will there be a chance of awakening. The closer the bloodline, the stronger it is. " Speaking of this, Bai Lihu's face showed a trace of deep fear. That person was currently the only legend of the younger generation.
Bai Yuhan's face turned pale when she thought of that person's name. Then, she blushed and added a moment later, "As far as I know, that awakening method is extremely painful. He has to go through a total of three painful fainting spells, but each time, his physical fitness and talent level will be greatly improved. Each time, he will also awaken two magic circuits. After three times, all six magic circuits will be awakened! "
"Is that so …" Li Yetong chuckled. Her eyelashes drooped, and she didn't say anything else.
