"Ah, I'm fine. I'm fine." Bai Jiaqi waved her hand and stood far away from Bai Yunfei.
He knew Bai Yunfei. They had played together since childhood. Bai Yunfei was the typical type of person who didn't have any talent but insisted on being the savior of the world.
When he was young, he didn't like to admit that he was mediocre.
Among this group of direct descendants of the sixteenth branch family, many of the older ones had already graduated from university and were now working in various industries of the Bai Family or serving in the military. They could only be said to be doing quite well. The Bai Family's overall momentum was the same. Tracing back to the last decade, there were less than ten outstanding individuals.
When it came to their generation, those who were within three to four years of age were publicly acknowledged as geniuses. Not to mention that there were a few siblings from the sixteenth branch family who had already entered the top one hundred successors, the younger Bai Mu Mu and the bastard Bai Wu Xin were both publicly acknowledged as geniuses.
Compared to them, Bai Yunfei and himself were mediocre or even worse.
Unlike Bai Yunfei, Bai Jiaqi had already accepted this fact. Through her father's connections, she had come to this remote place to be a second generation.
Only Bai Yunfei was like his father. His eyes were always fixed on the position of the head of the sixteenth branch. He wanted nothing more than to swallow it whole.
Bai Yunfei was also a second generation, but he had already been beaten awake by Li Xiang. Bai Yunfei, on the other hand, was becoming more and more obsessed. His nominal fiancée was famous in the Capital and City 0001, so Bai Yunfei could understand Bai Yunfei's feelings.
But this wasn't a reason for him to stand by Bai Yunfei's side!
In the past, he liked women, but now that he met Fei Yujing, he was afraid to meet her. She was strong and talented, but no matter how strong she was, she still had to bow her head in front of his father. What he was afraid of was the young man who was hiding in the shadows and spying on her.
In the Capital and City 0001, not only was the marriage between Bai Yunfei and Fei Yujing a laughingstock, but the death awakening of her first love was also a joke. But Li Xiang's status was so low that no one cared about him.
Others didn't know, but that didn't mean Bai Jiaqi didn't know.
After being defeated by Li Xiang one after another, other than being sincerely convinced, he also had an inexplicable curiosity about his origins.
After some investigation, he found out that he and Fei Yujing had a grudge against Bai Yunfei.
That was not the end of it. As he continued investigating, he actually ran into that darn Kou Ruhai's network. After asking his father, he even intentionally or unintentionally mentioned his cousin, Bai Xintong, who had recently become famous in the family!
Bai Jiaqi wasn't stupid, but she was very smart. After guessing a thing or two, she didn't dare to provoke anyone related to this evil star.
His reaction was strange. Fei Yujing was reserved, so she naturally wouldn't ask too much.
Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the empty wall. She kept feeling that there was someone on the other side. Under Bai Yulou's urging, she could only leave this place first.
"Little Yu, you've done very well. Later, I'll do my best to help you say a few words to the head of the house. The final trial is about to begin. Our sixteenth branch house has a lot of people participating in the trial, but you're the most talented. You must strive for a good ranking and fight for us." Bai Yulou said earnestly to his niece-in-law. Then, he glanced at his disappointing son behind him, his heart aching like it was being twisted.
"That, that, dad, I've also awakened a magic circuit and reached the qualifications of a Guardian. Don't you think …"
"What's so strange about awakening a magic circuit, eh? You just said that you've reached the qualifications of a Guardian? This trip to the sea of stars?! "Bai Yulou's body shook. Then, he turned to look at her with ecstasy.
"Yes." Bai Jiaqi nodded.
"Good, you didn't lose face for me! When I go back, I'll immediately arrange a spot for you in the final trial. You follow Little Yu well and learn from her. Later, I'll talk to the head of the house and hope that he can open the sixteenth branch house's armory to you. The final trial isn't a small matter. Even if you lose face, you can't lose face. You have to prepare the weapons and equipment well. "
Bai Yulou was in high spirits. He said to Fei Yujing, "Little Yu, when the time comes, take care of your good-for-nothing cousin."
"Uncle Bai, don't worry. Little Yu will do her best. When the time comes, I hope that Cousin Jiaqi won't dislike Little Yu for being clumsy." She bowed slightly, a sharp light flashing in her eyes.
Although the armory had been mentioned before, the head of the house had no intention of opening it to her. She didn't expect Bai Yulou to plead for her son. It was a good gain for her to be able to borrow some light.
But at the same time, she had a deeper understanding of the true meaning of the phrase "noble families are like the sea".
If she and her father really wanted to raise their heads in the Bai family, they still had countless roads to walk.
But as long as it was a road, it would eventually come to an end.
Hearing that she wanted to go with Fei Yujing, Bai Jiaqi subconsciously wanted to refuse. But under her father's glare, she didn't say anything. If she went with her, wouldn't she have to tangle with Li Xiang again?
Last time, she had almost lost her life on the Russian roulette. This time, she had suffered a lot in the Star Sea …
On the way back, Bai Jiaqi took the initiative to ask her father to sit alone in a cabin. Usually, she didn't even have time to hide from her father. This time, she took the initiative to ask. Bai Yulou felt that his son was a bit strange, so he agreed.
The father and son sat across from each other. Bai Jiaqi poured tea for Bai Yulou and said smoothly, "Dad, the small gang I started before has dug up many talents. It should be able to slowly develop my own underlings like you said. There's also the Mechanic Church. I quit. Here's the information I've organized. Take a look."
"Mm, not bad. You've finally grown up. If your mother was still alive, she would be very happy." Bai Yulou let out a long sigh.
Wasn't it because he was beaten awake? Bai Jiaqi smiled bitterly in her heart. Both of them looked gloomy when their father mentioned his mother.
More than ten years ago, his mother had participated in a very important mission for the Bai family right after she gave birth to him.
That mission had resulted in many deaths and injuries. To this day, the Bai family had sealed away a part of their history. However, like him, there were many members of the Bai family who had only one parent. None of them dared to look into the information that had been sealed away by King Bai. His father must have had a hard time over the years.
.....
The First Military University.
Chen Fan, who had a crew cut, had grown a lot taller. He was also more muscular than he had been during the Polar Night. He was wearing a clean, light yellow uniform and carrying a bag on his back as he walked out of the school.
Thanks to the recommendation of the Polar Night Dragon Group, he had successfully enrolled in the First Military University for a one-month internship. He had completed his quota ahead of time and had successfully graduated.
The school, known as the First Military University of the Subcontinent District, lived up to its name. The overall quality of the students was very high, which had opened his eyes.
No wonder everyone who graduated from this school was a powerful figure in the military. It was known as the cradle of generals.
He remembered that his sister had graduated with the best grades. She had passed the player's test and become a player. She was indeed talented.
After a month of internship, he had become increasingly aware of how powerful his sister was. He was even more confused about why she had chosen the Tarot cards to defect.
He would have to find the answer to this question on his own.
There was a flashy steam-powered sports car parked outside the gate. One look and one could tell that it had cost a fortune. Ji Yanqing was driving the car with a smile on her face.
She rolled down the window. Sunlight poured in. The young man sitting in front of her was as tall as jade.
"Get in." Ji Yanqing seemed to be in a good mood. The happiness in her smile infected Chen Fan as well. The gloominess he had felt when he thought of his sister was gone.
"Sure thing."
The sports car sped off as soon as he sat down.
Ji Yanqing seemed to have turned down all the internship invitations. She had returned to the old house of the Ji family alone and had been working hard on her family's martial arts.
At the moment, she seemed to have made another breakthrough.
"How is it?" Ji Yanqing's driving style was completely different from her gentle personality. The sports car sped on the city road. Only the city road of City 0001 could allow her to drive in such an exaggerated manner.
"It's not bad. I plan to try my best to get a place in the First Military University during the final trial. It's just that it's not too good." Chen Fan stammered as he stole a glance at her side profile.
"What's not too good?"
"We'll be studying there for four years. It's closed. No relatives are allowed to visit."
This meant that he wouldn't be able to see Ji Yanqing for four years.
Ji Yanqing smiled in annoyance, but her face was flushed red. "If you can't, then you can't. Why are you looking at me? It's not like a cooked duck can fly away."
"It can't fly away. I'm just afraid that someone will steal it."
"Hmph, Chen Fan, you dare to tease me? You're asking for a beating!"
"Hey, don't hit me, don't hit me. Be careful, the car!"
.....
Continent, Dong Ling's home.
The cherry trees were swaying in the wind. Chen Fan didn't know what kind of magic was used there, but countless cherry trees were in full bloom all year round. Through the trees, there was a classical pavilion. It was different from the usual luxurious European style of the Continent. It had the architectural style of Zone 2 of the Subcontinent.
The path was winding and secluded.
At the end of the hall was a small wooden hut. Beside it was a waterwheel with flowing water, and the moon gate was covered with gorgeous wisteria flowers. On the tatami mat in the hut, Ming Xu, who was wearing kimono-like clothes, was kneeling. Under the pale moonlight, it turned into a dense fog in the hut, filling the entire space, making it appear dreamy and beautiful.
Ming Xu lowered his head and played with the Demon Wings in his hand. Under the overwhelming moonlight, his back looked bleak and lonely.
She moved. She reached out her fair hand from the low railing and gently stirred the clear pond under the waterwheel. The moonlight in the water became magical as she stirred. Gradually, ripples appeared on the surface of the pond. Cherry blossoms fell one by one, bringing with them a faint fragrance.
After a while, the moonlight in the pond gradually disappeared, turning into a pretty girl standing under a cherry tree. That girl was wearing the same kimono as Ming Xu, and their figures were somewhat similar. However, from the side of her face, she looked more like a young woman and less innocent than Ming Xu.
However, no matter how much she stirred the pond, the girl in the water would never turn around to look at her. Tears dropped from her eyes. She took out a crumpled photo with her left hand. It was the surprise from the black box at the Polar night banquet.
The girl in the photo was smiling so brightly that Ji Yanqing was mesmerized.
