Chapter 249: Chapter 247: Reborn_1

“But how can we meet Ninth Brother?” Bai Jinzhi couldn’t help but ask.

The meeting outside Fengcheng was very brief. Bai Jinzhi was responsible for keeping watch, so she didn’t know exactly how Xiao Ruohai and the Eldest Young Lady had discussed it.

“No need to rush…”

As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, they heard the waiter escorting another group upstairs. With a familiar tone, he said, “Rest assured, Young Master, the private room you booked has been kept tidy since this morning, and no one has entered it. Why are you here alone today? Why didn’t Young Master Wang come? Did you ask Doctor Ji for help with your leg?”

“No!” a familiar voice sighed. “Mrs. Ji couldn’t bear our pleas, and told us that Doctor Ji went to Youhua Road to find his daughter. So, we probably made the trip in vain!”

Bai Qingyan’s hand, which was pouring water, paused, and her heart sank immediately.

After a while, the waiter served the dishes to Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi and then left.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the redwood soft couch in the private room. Bai Jinzhi instinctively pressed the small dagger at her waist and looked at Bai Qingyan with wide eyes.

“Don’t be afraid…” Bai Qingyan reassured Bai Jinzhi. “Eat well!”

After speaking, Bai Qingyan stood up and walked to the side of the rosewood soft couch, holding her breath while pushing it aside.

While eating, Bai Jinzhi widened her eyes. She saw clearly that there was a passage behind the soft couch large enough for a person, leading to the adjoining private room.

Dressed in silk clothing, Xiao Ruohai crouched at the tunnel entrance. As Bai Qingyan pushed the soft couch aside, he slipped through.

“Eldest Young Lady, Fourth Young Lady…” Xiao Ruohai’s voice was very low.

Bai Jinzhi put down her bowl and chopsticks, hurried over to look through the tunnel, but it was empty. Not seeing Ninth Brother, she turned to ask, but the Eldest Young Lady’s voice came.

“Wasn’t it said that Xiao Jiu was already in Feng County?”

“Eldest Young Lady, early this morning I went to Ninth Young Master’s room and found that he and Miss Shen had left…” Xiao Ruohai gritted his teeth. “It was Xiao Ruojiang who helped them escape.”

The hand at Bai Qingyan’s side clenched: “Did he leave a message?”

“He left a verbal message.” Xiao Ruohai pursed his lips. “Ninth Young Master said he didn’t want the Eldest Young Lady to see him in such a miserable state. He is going to Panluo Mountain to find Seventh Young Master’s master, Gu Yijian!”

Her hand at her side gradually tightened.

Bai Jinzhi widened her eyes, too: “Why go to Luopan Mountain?! Doesn’t Ninth Brother know how dangerous it is there?!”

Bai Qingjue’s master, Gu Yijian, had once met Bai Qingyun and intended to take him as his last disciple, but Bai Qingyun, being proud and unruly, refused.

The hand Bai Qingyan had tightly clenched at her side gradually loosened, and a smile appeared in her eyes: “I understand now…”

One can forget the gains and losses with sufficient resolve, and one’s spirit can endure prosperity and decline.

Not wanting her to see him with crippled legs, nor wanting her protection, he sought a new path.

So her Ninth Brother was still that proud and resilient Bai Qingyun. He hadn’t been defeated by sudden setbacks.

This time, wanting to see Xiao Jiu was purely out of worry that the proud boy would be crushed!

She had a lot to say to Xiao Jiu, but it seemed unnecessary now!

“Yes!” Xiao Ruohai responded calmly. _{freёwebnovel.com}
