The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 51: Testing BaiLi Yun Xiao

BaiLi Yun Hua's words surprised BaiLi Yun Xiao.

The tension that attracted BaiLi Yun Xiao's facial muscles certainly did not escape BaiLi Yun Hua's sharp gaze. He purposely said this series of words with an act of innocence. From the outside it might sound like BaiLi Yun Hua was deeply moved by BaiLi Yun Xiao's kindness, but his last sentence actually implied a certain meaning.

BaiLi Yun Hua's last sentence indirectly revealed that BaiLi Yun Xiao had acted and done the work of a servant who had completely dropped this person's honorable status.

BaiLi Yun Xiao must have been surprised by his expression. How not, all this time BaiLi Yun Xiao was respected and revered in the territory of the dragon race with a popularity that was as god-level. Not until there, this person has also become a role model by various parties around the world. No one dared to reveal or take actions that disrespected him, yet BaiLi Yun Hua had withdrawn the status of the First Young Master of the BaiLi Clan to the degree of a servant.

BaiLi Yun Hua was rather curious about this person's reaction. If it had been then, BaiLi Yun Hua would not have been this careless in acting in front of BaiLi Yun Xiao, he said, but BaiLi Yun Xiao recently admitted to wanting to make up for the neglect that BaiLi Yun Hua had experienced for 17 years and wanted to establish a good relationship with him.

So far BaiLi Yun Hua has indeed been quite shaky after everything BaiLi Yun Xiao has done for her. It was undeniable that his heart had somewhat softened after all the kindness offered by BaiLi Yun Xiao. He was not as hateful as he used to be, but vigilance was still lodged and lurking within him in anticipation of the possible betrayal that might be thrown at him.

BaiLi Yun Hua was rather curious. He wanted to know to what extent BaiLi Yun Xiao would tolerate him and continue to uphold the promised words from his lips. Will this person finally break the ugly facade hidden behind that friendly and compassionate face?

BaiLi Yun Hua did not stop pretending, yet his eyes also meticulously observed all of BaiLi Yun Xiao's reactions carefully without missing the slightest hint of emotion that might be revealed on that face. He patiently waited for BaiLi Yun Xiao to show signs of anger or displeasure or even disgust. And if indeed this person showed even the slightest trace of suspicious, it meant that everything given to him during this time was the kind of lie that played out meticulously.

Dark thoughts rose wrapped around BaiLi Yun Hua's mind in anticipation of the possibility he was anticipating. And if this guy turns out to be playing this game to her...

BaiLi Yun Xiao pulled the corners of his lips in a straight and tight line and took a slow breath before smiling wryly.

"Don't worry, Yun Hua. From now on when you are sick there will be people who care about your condition and take good care of you. When you are tired and need a backrest, someone will come to offer their shoulder to you. And when you face difficulties that you cannot express, there will be people who will without a doubt stand by your side."

BaiLi Yun Xiao stretched out his hand and flicked BaiLi Yun Hua's forehead with a warm smile before saying, "That is why never think that you will always be alone because now you have friends who will not hesitate to stand by your side."

BaiLi Yun Hua's dark thoughts stagnated under the light flick that struck his forehead. BaiLi Yun Hua blinked his eyes and hid the faint warmth that filled his chest.

Well... Pretty good words to hear. Maybe this guy is too smart in acting, but he will let it go for now. Several figures flashed through BaiLi Yun Hua's mind and a mental smile puffed up in his mind.

Friends yah...

That doesn't sound too bad.

......................

The sun floated above the sky and emitted heat that burned the ground beneath it. For all the events that have been going on since this blind morning time feels really slower than usual.

The sun floating above people's heads would naturally make anyone feel too hot to leave the house, but this condition did not apply to the cultivators inhabiting the academy. The ground might feel stinging due to the heat, but this hot steam would not make these cultivators feel burning.

The audience sitting on the stone bench surrounding this arena looks as comfortable as usual. Every empty position is already re-filled given that the second match is about to start. The arena floor that had previously looked like it had just been destroyed by any calamity was now recovered to its initial state of splendor.

Yu Feng had already moved from his previous place to a position closer to the arena. Since the match was now opened for the second tier, the front row had been filled by the second tier students to make it easier for those who would ascend to the arena.

Just like the competition between the first level classes before, for the second level each class issued 6 participants in one team.

Yu Feng was in the class of Yue Qing Ye and BaiLi Yun Xiao. Recalling the previous incident, he was somewhat doubtful that his two teachers were still watching the competition at the moment. BaiLi Yun Hua's condition was too unstable to just leave it alone. Perhaps both of their classroom teachers had left this place a long time ago.

Yu Feng was among the ones who would represent his class. Beside him sat Wei Lan who was also part of their six class participants. Wei Lan was quite quiet today. Perhaps the scene of the previous match had a strong impact on the confidence of this brat.

After living one roof for weeks with Wei Lan, Yu Feng was already almost used to the personality of his housemates. Wei Lan probably acted like a pure and innocent elf child by relying on her appearance, but one thing that never escaped Yu Feng's eyes was this brat's arrogance that was not completely covered up.

In the classroom, Wei Lan who looked like this innocent and cheerful boy was actually one of the best among them. Wei Lan was among the ones who had always stepped on the top spot of every training given by BaiLi Yun Xiao and Yue Qing Ye.

So Yu Feng actually understood where his arrogance came from.

And it was only natural that Wei Lan might be depressed by the shock given by the previous first-rate students. After all, the previous two people were indeed too abnormal...

"Do you think we're going to find that type?"

Yu Feng stared ahead for quite a while before realizing that the question was directed at him. He turned his head slightly and saw that Wei Lan had already turned her straight gaze towards him.

"The possibilities are not great yet it is still possible to happen," Yu Feng said after looking back at the front with a flat glance.

"Well, even so we will still reach the first rank right."

Wei Lan's words did not sound like an uncertain question, but rather a serious statement.

Yu Feng looked back at the person beside him and saw the confidence behind the young man's green pupils which carried a determined smile.

"Yes, we're going to win this game."
