The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 7: Hunch

Mu Yin clenched both of his hands. He returned to his room in silence.

BaiLi Yun Xiao sat on his bed in a slightly complicated mood. He thought back to Mu Yin's expression when clarifying their relationship.

A strand of guilt was born from the bottom of his heart.

Could it be that his words were a little exaggerated?

But if he did not say his opinion clearly, Mu Yin would continue to hold hope for him. BaiLi Yun Xiao was well aware that Mu Yin liked him but he did not have the slightest bit of special feelings for Mu Yin and it was impossible for him to reciprocate Mu Yin's feelings. After this incident, it might be better for him to further maintain his distance from Mu Yin.

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

After two days, the Yue clan group arrived in Luo Xing City. BaiLi Yun Xiao was already ready to wait at the city gate. When he saw the flying ship of the Yue clan, his smile grew even wider.

Yue Qing Ye and the few Yue clan members standing on the boat saw the white-robed figure that was at the gate of Luo Xing City was staring towards them with a smile engraved on his face.

Among the clan members that Yue Qing Ye had brought, there were those who were the main members and clearly recognized the identity of the white-robed young man. Some who had never seen BaiLi Yun Xiao were curious about the figure of the white-robed young man who seemed to be waiting for their ship to arrive.

When the Yue clan's flying ship landed, Yue Qing Ye floated down from the ship with the other members following Yue Qing Ye's actions afterwards.

Yue Qing Ye reached BaiLi Yun Xiao's position in just a blink of an eye.

"Why are you standing here?" yue Qing Ye's sentence shocked the few members of the Yue clan.

BaiLi Yun Xiao smiled and replied, "Of course waiting for you." BaiLi Yun Xiao sighed softly after finishing his sentence and continued, "How long has it been? Makes me wait since morning."

Yue Qing Ye, "You've been standing here since morning?"

BaiLi Yun Xiao, "Of course. I even forgot my breakfast."

Yue Qing Ye, "What about lunch?"

BaiLi Yun Xiao complained, "I've been standing here since morning without leaving this place for a second. How can I have lunch?"

Yue Qing Ye, "..."

Although Yue Qing Ye was a few months younger than BaiLi Yun Xiao, but BaiLi Yun Xiao would sometimes act like a child to disturb her. In the beginning Yue Qing Ye would experience a change in expression and feel guilty, but after so many years he no longer felt shaken with BaiLi Yun Xiao's childish demeanor and would only feel helpless towards this elder brother's mischief a few months away from him.

Yue Qing Ye smiled slightly and said, "Then go fill your stomach, I'll pay the bill."

BaiLi Yun Xiao, "Sure."

After the two figures had disappeared into the city, the Yue clan members were still staring blankly at the two figures earlier.

"That-that's..."

"It seems like I saw Young Master smiling. Could I be hallucinating?"

"I saw it too."

The main members who knew BaiLi Yun Xiao laughed when they saw the reaction of the other clan members.

"You're right, Young Master is indeed smiling."

"Senior then, who is that white-robed young man? How could he speak disrespectfully towards the Young Master?"

The main members of the clan who heard the young members question changed their expressions and looked seriously at the young member.

"Never say that. The young man you are referring to is Young Master BaiLi, of course Young Master BaiLi can talk casually to Young Master."

The statements of the main members shocked the other clan members.

"Young Master BaiLi? Is that Qing Yue?"

"true."

That positive answer hit the minds of the group of people. Those who had always admired BaiLi Yun Xiao, cheered happily.

Inside Luo Xing City, BaiLi Yun Xiao led Yue Qing Ye towards the restaurant she had previously visited with Lian Yi. True to his words, Yue Qing Ye paid all the fees without hesitation. The servant serving the two was the servant who previously served BaiLi Yun Xiao and Lian Yi. Looking at BaiLi Yun Xiao, the female servant's eyes brightened. He smiled gently and introduced each dish one by one to BaiLi Yun Xiao and Yue Qing Ye.

BaiLi Yun Xiao did not hold back at all and ordered all the dishes that caught his attention. Yue Qing Ye was not too enthusiastic when faced with a luxurious meal, but when she was faced with something sweet...

The eyes of the female servant stared at every dish that Yue Qing Ye chose and she felt speechless. Nine out of ten parts are desserts and sweets. Although the maid had seen a sweet lover who regularly ate sweets every day, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Yue Qing Ye making sweet food his main meal.

If Yue Qing Ye was an ordinary human, then no doubt this person would have diabetes. BaiLi Yun Xiao looked at Yue Qing Ye with a helpless smile, but did not stop Yue Qing Ye's actions because she knew that her reprimand would not go into her cousin's ears on this one. The two immediately finished their meal and left the restaurant. The female waiter counted her monthly bonuses inwardly and the beautiful smile never came off even when her two precious customers had left.

BaiLi Yun Xiao carried Yue Qing Ye around the city until the sun sank and the moon shone brightly high in the sky. Gazing at the sky that had darkened, BaiLi Yun Xiao finally parted ways with Yue Qing Ye. Before leaving, she did not forget to tell Yue Qing Ye where she lived. When BaiLi Yun Xiao returned to the inn, BaiLi Yun Yi had been waiting for him in his room.

BaiLi Yun Xiao looked at his cousin who was in his room with a questioning look.

"Yun Yi, why are you looking for me?"

BaiLi Yun Yi, "Ge I will break through soon."

BaiLi Yun Xiao looked at BaiLi Yun Yi with a surprised glint in his eyes.

BaiLi Yun Yi just broke through to level 4 a few days ago.

The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the difficulty to increase strength was also higher.

Under common conditions, if one reaches level 2 within two years then to reach level 3 it would at least take three years or more. In addition, understanding and luck are also very influential.

That was why it was extremely difficult for a cultivator to climb higher.

But for talented and privileged individuals like BaiLi Yun Xiao and Yue Qing Ye, this condition was nothing to them. Of course other than the two, there were still superior talents scattered in the world. And BaiLi Yun Yi as well as the other clan members also included quite good talents, but they still could not compare to BaiLi Yun Xiao and Yue Qing Ye.

So, when BaiLi Yun Yi claimed to want to break through again, it was only natural that BaiLi Yun Xiao was surprised. BaiLi Yun Yi sighed and said, "When I reflect back on your previous guidance, I re-achieve enlightenment."

"How effective?"

BaiLi Yun Yi did not answer BaiLi Yun Xiao's question which was meant to bother him.

"Alright, alright. Concentrate on breaking through, I'll keep an eye on you." Seeing that BaiLi Yun Yi did not care about him, BaiLi Yun Xiao returned to the main topic. BaiLi Yun Yi closed his eyes in a cross-legged position and began to isolate himself from the outside world. The spiritual energy around him, began to fluctuate.

The innkeeper stared at BaiLi Yun Xiao's room with a surprised look.

Yu Feng who was cultivating in his room, opened his eyes and stood up from the bed. The spiritual energy in the surroundings dissolved and ran to BaiLi Yun Xiao's room. The members of the BaiLi clan stopped their activities and gathered in front of BaiLi Yun Xiao's room. Twenty Guards Guang Ming consciously formed a formation array on the ground floor.

The innkeeper looked at the twenty Guards Guang Ming with a serious look. Although each of them stood in a different and irregular place, but if observed more closely, their position was actually a point connected to each other to form a certain formation.

The twenty Guards of Guang Ming were aware of the innkeeper's gaze and every one of them kept this awkwardness in their minds. Their formation line was impossible for one to realize unless the person was an expert.

That way, the innkeeper had entered into the 'noteworthy' list of the Guards of Guang Ming.

Energy fluctuations not only prevailed within the inn, but the area several meters outside the inn also experienced a chaos of spiritual energy.

"Someone will break through to level 5?"

"Who is that?"

"It looks like from that shabby inn. Could it be someone from outside? It doesn't seem like someone who's influential."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it looks like that person will be in trouble."

The people on the street got out of the way quickly. Several houses around the inn also closed their doors. In an instant, the streets had been emptied and every activity had also been halted. Deadly silence, making one feel cold.

BaiLi Yun Hua also stood in front of BaiLi Yun Xiao's room, but the silence outside the inn could be felt. Unknowingly he had frowned.

Something is wrong!

A dangerous alarm was activated in his mind. BaiLi Yun Lan who was standing next to BaiLi Yun Hua also realized that something was awkward. He stared at the open door on the ground floor. His intuition told him that there would be something terrible heading towards them.

BaiLi Yun Lan made certain movements with her hands. The movements he made were very subtle and were not realized by the people around him. After BaiLi Yun Lan's hand movements, his five subordinates had quietly mixed in on the ground floor and were hiding in a dark, unnoticed place.

The Guards of Guang Ming were aware of the whereabouts of BaiLi Yun Lan's five subordinates. BaiLi Yun Lan's subordinates were also trained troops and they were very aware of the Guang Ming Guard's hidden formation, so the position they were taking at the moment did not interfere with the formation, but strengthened the formation.

After a while, some members of the outer branch had also noticed an awkwardness. After all, they were individuals who had undergone special training from their families. Although their reaction is slower, but they can immediately condition themselves appropriately to deal with something to come.

A cold wind blew from outside the door. The temperature in the inn dropped by several degrees.

Inside the room, BaiLi Yun Xiao had created several layers of barriers surrounding BaiLi Yun Yi.

Although he was confident in his current strength, at least the barrier he created would not be easy to break through, but for BaiLi Yun Yi's safety, he added a few more layers. BaiLi Yun Yi's current condition should not be disturbed or the consequences would be difficult to bear.

After all, they were not in the BaiLi clan at the moment and Luo Xing City was not their site. Here is a place of mixed experts that should not be underestimated. The pale-looking, slightly transparent white glove had wrapped around BaiLi Yun Xiao's hand and an ordinary iron sword had been in his hand.

BaiLi Yun Xiao disguised his level to level 5.

Yu Feng who was in his room, had already felt a crisis first. He had been in pursuit for many years and had relied on his own intuition to get out of harm's way. Looks like tonight really is going to be a less fortunate night.

BaiLi Yun Yi's subordinates had mixed in downstairs with the Guang Ming Guard group and BaiLi Yun Lan's subordinates.

The clan members who were outside BaiLi Yun Xiao's room were ready to form a neat row that protected BaiLi Yun Xiao's room and each took out their weapons. BaiLi Yun Lan looked at the person beside her seriously and said, "You better go back to your room first. In your room it'll be safer."

BaiLi Yun Hua did not have a tense expression on his face. He still maintained his usual expression and replied, "No need."

BaiLi Yun Lan looked at BaiLi Yun Hua's cold profile and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Then take care of yourself."

BaiLi Yun Hua also did not hide himself and replied, "No need to worry."

After a few days of hanging out with BaiLi Yun Hua, BaiLi Yun Yi and BaiLi Yun Lan realized that BaiLi Yun Hua hid his abilities in the dark and was not at all trash as rumored.

BaiLi Yun Hua also did not bother to hide himself too deeply because after the observation for a few days, he did not bother, he knew that BaiLi Yun Lan and BaiLi Yun Yi were honest and not black-hearted individuals like everyone else.

At least these two were not the type of people who would stab others from behind.

Although BaiLi Yun Hua had convinced BaiLi Yun Lan, but this woman still took the initiative to protect BaiLi Yun Hua. BaiLi Yun Hua also did not refuse because she wanted to play a low profile, hence BaiLi Yun Lan's protection was the right thing needed to get rid of the suspicions of others.
