Chapter 49: You Call Me Senior Sister, I Call You Adoptive Father—From Now On, Let’s Just Say Different Things!
“Hmm, I feel like someone’s out to get me?”
Bai Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully, but the system didn’t send any notifications, and Luo Chen was tossed in the hospital with serious injuries, so he couldn’t move right now.
Who else could possibly harm him?
Well, maybe it’s not just the Child of Destiny. His enemies are pretty numerous—there’s the another injured and collapsed Child of Destiny and Su Lan Qian, who’s busy giving birth to a Heart Demon. Outside the Heavenly Sword Sect, there’s a demon woman eyeing him like a snack.
Guess it’s time to set up some intel network, or else in case something happens, he won’t have a clue.
KABOOM!
Suddenly, there was a frantic pounding on the door.
Based on the sound, it was probably Senior Sister Yu Yao coming to visit.
“Senior Sister, you got here so fast… huh?”
Bai Feng pushed open the door to find Yu Yao dragging a girl with long silver hair, looking super excited.
“Little Junior Brother, look what I found on the road! She wants to come home with me!”
Bai Feng instinctively looked at the girl with white hair and saw Little Qi sobbing, “Brother…”
He quickly pulled Little Qi into his arms and shielded her with his hand, eyes alert as he faced Yu Yao. “Senior Sister, just so you know, kidnapping is illegal!”
“Just joking!” Yu Yao giggled, clearly having known about their relationship for a while. “But she really is adorable. Can she come with me for a bit? I’d like to give her some new clothes. When paired with her pretty white hair, she’d look absolutely adorable!”
“You’ll have to ask Little Qi if she’s willing,” Bai Feng replied cautiously, still wary like he was guarding against a suspicious uncle.
“No worries, no worries. Even if she’s not willing, I can make the clothes, and you can help her change!” Yu Yao winked with an expectant smile. “Just let me see her once, and I’ll be satisfied.”
Bai Feng: “……”
This person totally doesn’t fit with Green Bamboo Peak at all!
Haven’t they wondered how their master managed to take in such an eccentric disciple?
Meanwhile, Little Qi, hiding in Bai Feng’s embrace, reached out and grabbed a strand of white hair to look at it. Her hair was well-maintained and smelled faintly of flowers.
‘Is it pretty?’ she wondered.
She stared at her hair carefully but still couldn’t bring herself to love it. The childhood pain Bai Feng filled in her was helpful but didn’t completely heal her. She was still very conscious about her white hair.
“By the way, I also have some ideas about Little Qi’s clothes,” Bai Feng said as he entered the room, pouring tea for Yu Yao and Little Qi. “We can exchange ideas later.”
Yu Yao looked suspicious. “You? Are you really capable? Designing clothes is no easy task.”
Bai Feng calmly took a sip of tea, unaffected. “Honestly, Master Chun Qiu is actually part of our White Family. I’ve had some exchanges with him, and I overheard him talking about designing a book centered around the color white.”
*Snap!*
Yu Yao suddenly leaned forward, grabbing Bai Feng’s right hand with both hands, eyes sparkling like stars. “Junior Brother Bai, please! I must have a serious talk with you about this! It’s the only time in my life I’m asking for something this big!”
“That request is kind of cheap,” Bai Feng muttered,-for-true.
“Oh, and about that book…”
“When it’s out, I’ll bring you one,” Bai Feng promised.
“Thank you, Junior Brother. From today on, you’re my adoptive father. You call me Senior Sister, I call you Adoptive Father, and from now on, let’s each stick to our own!”
“…“
Suddenly, Bai Feng gained a new understanding of Yu Yao’s playful personality.
How did she even get into Green Bamboo Peak?
“Oh, and here’s what you asked for,” Bai Feng said, retrieving a tightly sealed book from his storage pouch. “There’s also a piece of Animation Stone inside. Don’t lose it; it’s really valuable.”
“Mua! My adoptive father is the best!” Yu Yao hugged the package, kissed it, and eagerly shoved it into her own storage bag—tonight’s project material was secured!
A design for the clothes she wanted.
Little Qi tilted her head thinking, Does our family have someone named Chun Qiu? And this book…
She decided to stop pondering; since Bai Feng hadn’t mentioned it, she’d just ignore those unrelated questions.
“Oh, and what about Bai Mei?” Yu Yao remembered just then. She put away the book but realized someone was missing.
“Changed clothes. It’s about time, too.”
As soon as Bai Feng finished, he saw the door pushed open from outside.
“Oh! It looks so good!” Yu Yao gasped in awe. “See? I told you my taste is right—purple really suits Bai Mei!”
Bai Yu Mo modestly smiled. She wore a light purple robe designed by Yu Yao—her top half was white with purple patterns on the collar and sleeves, while the bottom was mainly purple with intricate floral designs.
Typically, Bai Yu Mo’s clothes were pretty plain, so this new look totally brightened her up and made her look even more stunning.
“Not bad, not bad—looks great,” Bai Feng nodded in approval. But after seeing Bai Yu Mo in her usual ruffled short skirt, this simple long robe didn’t quite give him the same shock.
Little Qi stared thoughtfully at Bai Yu Mo, lost in thought.
After being praised by Bai Feng, Bai Yu Mo secretly felt pleased. If not for considering Senior Sister Yu Yao present, she really wanted to change into some even more daring outfits.
But thinking that Bai Feng and others were nearby, she held back.
Bai Feng looked away and turned to Yu Yao, patting her on the shoulder. “Alright, let’s eat. Senior Sister Yu Yao’s spiritual beast meat is up next!”
Clothes aren’t more important than dinner!
……
“From today on, I will teach you Array Formation until you master all my knowledge. You can come to me anytime—I’ll patiently guide you whenever I have time.”
Liu Meng stood before Bai Feng, while Chu Ning Yan watched with interest.
“Yes, Master Liu.”
“Don’t call me that,” Liu Meng shook her head. “Just call me Master, like Lan Qian does. That’s what your master suggested. But if you don’t want to, it’s okay—you can just call me by my name, and I’ll still teach you wholeheartedly.”
Bai Feng instinctively glanced at Chu Ning Yan, who encouraged him with her eyes. He suddenly understood what she meant.
After all, Liu Meng planned to pass down her lifelong studies to him, so he definitely should accept her as his master.
Moreover, his master Chu Ning Yan was happy to see this, whether to win Liu Meng over or to strengthen the master-disciple relationship for him and the Heavenly Sword Sect—neither was a bad thing.
Since that’s the case, he saw no reason to hesitate.
Bai Feng nodded. “Understood, Master.”
“Good. Since I don’t know how far you’ve progressed, we’ll start with my best skill—The Killing Array. If you have any questions, remember to ask me immediately.”
Liu Meng explained some of the more difficult points of the Array Formation to Bai Feng as he sat there contemplating.
Liu Meng, a veteran master, was truly unparalleled in her field—her strategic thinking and her unique techniques were eye-opening, even when she just covered the basics.
“Alright, that’s all for today. If you don’t understand anything, come find me in my cave.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Bai Feng watched Liu Meng depart, planning to organize today’s harvest. Just then, he saw Su Lan Qian lowering her head and approaching him.
