Li Xiang the Immortal
60 - Bai Nuan II's

"Your father is worried about you. I can't ignore the Patriarch. Because he was worried about his son. That's why I'm following you."

Bai Nuan raised his face and looked at Xiao Xing Fu back when he heard what the young man had said. "You don't understand anything, go."

"No. If I go, then I have to take you. Didn't you hear what I said? Your father's worried about you."

"Tell him not to worry about me, but just worry about himself." Said Bai Nuan in a voice that was still a little hoarse from crying. "I left my house and moved away from my father without knowing if what he was doing was not because of what I was thinking all along."

"Tell me what happened. I'll listen to him. Then that way, I know what your problem is. If you just shut up and kick me out, I'll never understand what's going on and I won't leave without taking you to the Patriarch."

Bai Nuan exasperatedly expressed, "Why do you stubbornly want to stay here?!"

"Because I want to help the Patriarch and you. I don't want your relationship to stretch. I want to help solve that problem." Xiao Xing Fu was silent for a moment. He lowered his head, "You still have a father, different from me. Both my parents have left me since I was 8 years old. I was alone at the time. I was thinking if I'd starve to death by then."

Bai Nuan was speechless when he heard what the young man said. He did not know it turned out that Xiao Xing Fu had a fate worse than him.

"Yet there are still people who care about me and take care of me to this day." Xiao Xing Fu raised his head back, "Then from that, don't waste your father's presence. If you've lost your parents, then you'll just feel how valuable they are beyond what you think."

Bai Nuan's eyes widened slightly upon hearing what Xiao Xing Fu said. His mother died of illness, and then only his father took care of him. He knows how it feels to lose a parent. What Xiao Xing Fu said was correct. His eyes returned to glass because he felt sad when he remembered his mother and remembered what his father had said.

"I heard my father talking to Ming'er, hiks.I heard, if you want to marry me to Brother Hao because you have poison in your body, hiks, when my father's age won't be long.. If that happens, then I won't have anyone anymore..

Dad hid this from me, hiks.then when you said you wanted me to marry Brother Hao, I thought you did it because you love your students so much.. until he wants to make Brother Hao my partner so that the father with brother Hao has a stronger bond.

I do not want to marry Brother Hao, so I leave the house without saying anything to my father.. I feel like I'm so stupid for thinking like that to you. I shouldn't have left the house and left it, hiks.." Bai Nuan drowned his head between his knees with a sobbing sound that was now re-sounding.

Xiao Xing Fu nodded in understanding. She felt sad when she heard what Bai Nuan said. He rubbed the girl's hair, "Then, we better meet her and talk about this. You should also apologize to your father."

On the other hand, Li Xiang was still in the living room together with Bai Wei. They had already discussed the terms Li Xiang had said earlier. And it turned out that what he wanted was a little difficult for Bai Wei. Even the man had yet to decide whether he would accept Li Xiang's offer on those terms or not.

"Haish. just take it." Li Xiang sipped his tea. "I only asked for 5 sacks. Not much."

"That includes a lot. It's very expensive at the moment. Even for one basket." Bai Wei.

"You're a tea lover. You'd rather die than buy me 5 sacks of chrysanthemum tea." Said Li Xiang cynically. "It turns out your daughter doesn't really matter to you–"

"All right, I agree. 5 sacks of chrysanthemum tea, right? Then you're gonna make me a poison pill?"

Li Xiang smiled widely, "Agreed." He shook hands with Bai Wei. "But for that one rare ingredient, I don't want to take it. I'm lazy. So if you want me to make that pill, then you have to give me the last ingredient I said."

Li Xiang nodded, "But not only did it grow in such a place. Hope flowers can also grow in places with many people who have hope. Therefore, the flower of hope is called the flower of hope. They grow because of the hope that arises from many people in one place.

The flower of hope can be a cure for many diseases. But if the plant is processed in a way that is not right, then the flower will only be a deadly poison."

"A place with a lot of people who have hope?" Bai Wei muttered, "Where is that place?"

Li Xiang smiled, "You don't know? The answer is very easy. A place where a lot of hope arises, a lot of people are hopeful about something in that place. The temple. The temple was a suitable place for the flower to grow. A place where many people pray and wish to be fulfilled."

Bai Wei was startled, "So I can get a wish flower around the temple?"

"Not in all temples. Only a few places have it."

Along with the end of Li Xiang's speech, two people went inside. They were none other than Xiao Xing Fu and Bai Nuan.

Bai Wei glanced in the direction where the two were. He was immediately shocked when he saw the arrival of his daughter, until he stood up involuntarily. "Mrslaus'er.."

"Dad, I'm sorry.." Bai Nuan ran over to Bai Wei and immediately hugged her. "I'm sorry dad, for leaving without saying anything to you. I'm sorry that I've been thinking badly of you, sorry that I don't know what happened to you, father, torment.I should have been then, I didn't leave you father, torment.."

Bai Wei returned his daughter's embrace. He smiled softly, "I'm worried about you, Nuan'er. I thought you'd be mad at me because I've been hiding something from you."

Bai Nuan shook his head in his father's arms, "No, I should be the one apologizing to dad.."

"Mrslaus'er.." Bai Wei stroked Bai Nuan's head, "You're not wrong at all and forgive me for not telling you the truth. I just don't want to make you anxious."

"Hiks.." Bai Nuan did not say anything. He was crying in his father's arms.

Li Xiang stood up and walked over to Xiao Xing Fu who had only been watching the father and son since. He stretched his hands forward with a childish smile, "Hug me, you must also want to apologize to me for leaving earlier, right?"

Xiao Xing Fu looked at Li Xiang. He immediately moved away when he realized the presence of the teenager in front of him. His face was expressionless as if he was looking at something terrifying, "Don't come any closer! I don't want to hug you! And I'm not wrong either, so I won't apologize to you."

Li Xiang instead walked closer and closer to Xiao Xing Fu with his hands still stretched forward. Meanwhile, Xiao Xing Fu was getting away from him, "Why do you keep moving away? You think I'm the tiger that's gonna pounce on you and eat you to your satisfaction?"

"No, but don't approach me to 2 meters." Said Xiao Xing Fu who was still retreating backwards.

Li Xiang stopped. He lowered his hand with a pouting face, "Sucks. Why why?"

"Nothing," Xiao Xing Fu threw away a face.
