Chapter 466 “Xiachen’s Little Revenge (1)”
Nodding with approval at his son’s suggestion: “Yes, I will go make preparations then. There’s only a few days before the alchemy convention, I’m sure she would come attend.”
After saying this, Bai Chang Feng then left the room in a hurry, leaving only his son gaping in the background like he still had something to say.
Oh I better not tell Father about the relationship Yan’er (Bai Yan) has with the Holy Land. He’s so intent on attacking the three elders from there, what if he learns the truth? It would shock him enormously…. Yes, his health isn’t as it used to be, this sort of news is best left for another time.
……
The alchemy convention only takes place every three years. Inviting people across all fields, it holds no bias against one’s profession so long as they know how to handle themselves when questioned about the topic. Furthermore, its also a direct mean for those who seeks to join the Medicine Sect because the winners and those who stands out are permitted to directly become a inner disciple, hence the reason why there’s so much excitement surrounding it.
Now, the day has come after so much anticipation.
“Mother, are Grandshifus and them not coming?” Squinting his big innocent eyes, Bai Xiachen scans the crowded streets for signs of the three childish elders, “It couldn’t be that they don’t intend to come after scamming us to the Medicine Sect, would they? And…. Baddie Father is often missing recently.”
Rubbing her son’s little head, Bai Yan comforts the boy: “Your three grandshifus are likely just delayed by something on the road. As for your father….” She pauses, contemplating on what to say next, “Perhaps he’s also busy with something?”
“Mother, will you go to the Demon Realm with Baddie Father?” Holding up the baby tiger like a doll in his arms, Bai Xiachen looks up in anticipation.
Startled at the question, Bai Yan purses her lip: “I don’t know yet my son.”
How can I know about the future?
“Mother,” going silent for a moment in deep thought, the boy’s face turns firm as he grabbed onto that hand, “I will protect you Mother. Even if you do go to the Demon Realm, I will not let anyone hurt you.”
“Oh mother’s precious baby is the sweetest.” Without signal, Bai Yan instantly gives her son a loving peck on the cheek to earn herself a burst of giggles from the boy: “There is still some time until the alchemy convention. If you are bored then you can go outside of the venue to play with Little Rice. Just make sure you return within an hour.”
“YAA!” But before he runs off to have his fun, Bai Xiachen suddenly turns around halfway out: “Can I bring Uncle Mo with me as well?”
“Son, do you like your Uncle Mo a lot?” In all seriousness, Bai Yan’s never seen her son so close to another person aside from herself.
The boy nods in a hurry.
There’s no way Bai Xiachen would tell his mother the true reason he’s so intent on bringing the teen along. It’s not for anything, merely a promise to Di Cang of not allowing any male to get alone time with his mother. No alone time, then no chance of an accidental spark to occur. This way they could speed up the process of entering the Demon Realm. And there, he could finally get stronger and become his mother’s shield!
“Go find him then.”
As usual, Bai Yan would never question her son’s motive so she only gave him a gentle rub on the face before letting the boy go.
“Little Rice, let’s go!” Dragging the poor tiger’s tail away, Bai Xiachen promptly made a dash for the other side of the venue.
Due to how big this area was, it actually took him quite some time before locating the lolly looking teen who was also dragging the pink piglet with his hand.
