But whether the Xiao Rongyan before him was real or not, since he had been bought by him, this favor he would surely repay Xiao Rongyan. Yet, he could never involve the Bai family in any way.

Born into an aristocratic family, maintaining the family’s interests and dignity was more important to Bai Qingjue and others than their own lives. Therefore, no one in the Bai family would ever drag the family into repaying a favor received personally.

Xiao Rongyan was quite surprised. He smiled, didn’t take the cup of tea, and asked, “How do you plan to repay, young master?”

Bai Qingjue’s voice was firm, “The amount you paid for my redemption, I will repay tenfold. I am willing to serve you for three tasks… after which I will leave.”

The Bai family had their own dignity and sense of gratitude. This, Xiao Rongyan had already witnessed in Bai Qingyan.

Even so, Xiao Rongyan did not insist. He raised his hand to take the cup of tea from Bai Qingjue, signifying his acceptance, and asked with a smile, “Then… how should I address you?”

“Wang Qijue,” Bai Qingjue replied.

Bai Qingjue was the seventh in the Bai family. His mother’s surname was Wang, so he took the name Wang Qijue. Once he repaid Xiao Rongyan under this name, he would no longer have any ties with him.

“Very well. From today, Qijue shall be my personal guard. After completing the three tasks and repaying the money, you can leave freely.”

With that, Xiao Rongyan drank the tea, and had Bai Qingjue taken to rest.

The situation in the Jin Kingdom was complex now. It was perhaps best for this young master of the Bai family to stay away for a while. If the Crown Prince or the Emperor of Jin were to find out, it might be to the detriment of the Bai family’s widow.

However, it was still better to send a message to Bai Qingyan to put her at ease.

After Bai Qingjue left, Xiao Rongyan summoned Wang Jiuzhou and asked him to bring a doctor to examine Bai Qingjue.

Wang Jiuzhou understood that his master valued the young man. He nodded in agreement and mentioned something else: “Master, that young master left a mark while coming here, though I didn’t notice it. It was discovered by our Hidden Guard.”

Xiao Rongyan raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded to show he understood.

“Should we erase the mark?” Wang Jiuzhou asked.

“No need… it’s alright,” said Xiao Rongyan. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

No wonder he wasn’t in a hurry to return to the Jin Kingdom. It seemed the young master of the Bai family was cautious of the situation in Jin, not daring to return rashly, and had left a mark for his family to find him. Indeed, he was a highly intelligent and composed individual.

At roughly sixteen years of age, while Xiao Rongyan was unsure which young master of the Bai family he was, he was certain that the boy was a Bai descendant. If Bai Qingyan knew, she would surely be pleased.

Xiao Rongyan placed a piece on the chessboard, a slight smile curving his lips. He put the remaining pieces back into the chess box and walked to his desk to spread out the paper. Lifting his left hand, he wrote slowly, then blew the ink dry and sealed the letter. He called for the guard who had delivered horses to Bai Qingyan last time and ordered him to deliver the letter to Bai Qingyan as swiftly as possible.

At dawn the next day, as the morning light penetrated through the rolling clouds, it shone obliquely on the distant contours of the vast, majestic mountains. The light, following the rising sun, moved along the rapid west-to-east flowing Jin River, heading toward the Jin Army and Xiliang camps, gradually dispelling the darkness.
