Chapter 122 - Bai Rouyuns Feelings

Chapter 122 - Bai Rouyun's Feelings Bai Mulan had done quite a bit of research on Bai Rouyun before reaching out to her.
He had found out that she had been bestowed to this prince Li Moyun as a gift. Should she not hate Li Moyun for seeing her as an item? For taking her as a prize and marrying her without even asking for her permission?
Bai Mulan was from the Wushi Continent. He was used to looking down on the prison continent’s citizens, and this Li Moyun was also disdained.
But it seemed that he had been mistaken. This Li Moyun seemed to be quite important to Bai Rouyun for her to act this way towards him.
He had sensed her hostility lowering slightly until he began mentioning the ending of her marriage, and now he realized that he had stepped on a landmine.
"If you like him, we can bring him with us," Bai Mulan said, trying to salvage the situation. "He is a talented genius; I know that he is the Eternal Shadow Lord, and such an individual will not be held back on this continent."

Bai Rouyun’s cold face softened slightly as she thought about Li Moyun, but there was even more caution in her eyes when she heard that this man knew the true identity of Li Moyun.
"I am going to look after you while you stay here, and I will exhaust my every means to help you advance at a safe but rapid pace," he promised as he looked at Bai Rouyun.
"I am not sure what you encountered ten years ago, but it is a wonder that you survived. Looking at the body you are currently occupying, it does not seem more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but I guess that something must have happened for your soul to transfer from one body to another."
Bai Rouyun neither acknowledged his guess, nor did she reject it. She stayed silent and remained deep in thought.
Bai Mulan’s eyes narrowed. He could understand her worries and cautiousness, and he felt slightly guilty.
He had arrived at the Prison Continent seventeen years ago. She did not have an accident before ten years ago, he should have been able to find her in those seven years he had been on the continent, and then bring her to the Wushi Continent with him, but it was no longer a possibility.
When he thought about how the Eldest Miss of the Bai Family on Wushi Continent had been chased and killed by numerous factions and sects on a desolate continent, his heart was ablaze with anger and fury, but he reigned in his emotions.

These people who had harmed her will be good training partners for her on her path to becoming a true cultivator.
She could hone her skills when hunting them down, experience real combat, and learn how to become better.
It was not enough to just train in an institute or academy. One needed to encounter real life and death situations in order to improve, and this was also why he had not killed all the Fire Horses for her, and instead left five of them alive.
He had assumed that five would be her limit, but upon seeing her brutal and straightforward ways of killing them, he knew that he had underestimated her.
The stronger this woman was, the better it was for the Bai family. She was the only child of the Patriarch, and while he had many nieces and nephews, amongst which he had picked an heir, he was still regretful about his daughter not having returned to his side, even after thirty years.
Bai Mulan had the ability to contact the Wushi Continent, but he could not do it regularly. Right now, having determined that he had found the right child, he wished to inform the Bai family about his discovery, but he felt that it was essential to appease Bai Rouyun first.
Bai Rouyun was not an unreasonable person. She kept being alert and did not trust Bai Mulan, but she had sensed the connection she shared with the Soul Jade.

She knew that what he said had to have been the truth, or otherwise, there would not have been such a warm and welcoming feeling in her heart when she touched the jade, but that did not mean that she wanted to recognize her ancestors.
However, she did not know if she was against it either. She had been an orphan for her entire life back then. She had often dreamt about having a loving family, having someone who cared for her. She was starved of love.
But after she met Li Moyun, she no longer felt this way. Li Moyun had given her all the affection, and the feeling of a family that she had been longing for.
This was also why she had been so aggressive when she heard Bai Mulan hint that their marriage had to be canceled if he was not acknowledged by her family. She had initially thought that he was just a temporary husband, but after feeling the warmth and love he gave her, she had become greedy for his affection.
As long as Li Moyun did nothing to betray her and her emotions, and as long as he did not leave her, she would be faithful to him.
Of course, should he, one day, be unfaithful, or should he wish to end their relationship, she would not hang on to him. She had her pride.
But these emotions were buried deep within her heart. She had no interest in sharing them with anyone else. She did not want others to know what she felt; it was too soon to open up to anyone else.
Bai Mulan looked at Bai Rouyun and noticed that she was deep in thought.
"Eldest Miss, let us return to the Institute. We have to contact your father," he said with uncertainty. He was not sure if she would approve of having any contact with the Bai family.
