The boat sailed eastward along the water, with smooth wind and waves, and arrived at Quzhou at dusk.
Everyone got off the boat. Because about ten people were seriously injured and had difficulty moving, they found a large inn nearby to stay.
After dinner, Bai Yutian said goodbye and left the inn because she was worried about Zhang Yan'er's safety. After a while, he hurried past and returned to the old house of Qu Mansion. When he approached the door, he saw Zhang Yan'er, leaning against the door frame and sitting on the threshold, asleep, with stars twinkling in the corners of his eyes. His heart suddenly ached. He didn't expect that. Zhang Yaner is so infatuated that she doesn't care about her safety. He walked over, sat next to her, and gently held her in his arms.
Zhang Yan'er woke up with a start, and when she saw it was Bai Yutian, her uneasy heart suddenly felt happy, and she whispered: "Brother Bai, where have you been? I'm so worried about you."
Bai Yutian touched her hair, moistened her lungs, and replied: "I heard Su Zhen'er say last night that my senior brother came from the west to the east. I was afraid that the three heroes of the Jiang family would be defeated, so I rushed over at night. ,check it out."
Zhang Yaner asked: "Is your senior brother really here?"
Bai Yutian replied: "I'm here, but it's a pity that I left a little late. Six bodyguards lost their lives innocently."
Zhang Yan'er sat upright, looked at Bai Yutian's whole body, and asked, "Are you not injured?"
Bai Yutian replied: "No injury. But..."
Zhang Yaner asked in a low voice: "Brother Bai, what is it?"
Bai Yutian said warmly: "Your parents are here too, I'm afraid..."
Zhang Yaner asked in a low voice: "Brother Bai, are you afraid that my parents will take me away and we will never see each other again?"
Bai Yutian replied insincerely: "That's true. Your parents only have a precious daughter like you. You save a lot of worries by staying with them. I'm afraid that I won't be as happy as I am. As an outsider, if I If I keep you by my side, my conscience will be eaten by dogs, and it will be extremely bad."
Zhang Yaner asked a little helplessly: "Brother Bai, are you uncomfortable when I stay by your side?"
Bai Yutian smiled slightly and replied: "How should I put it? I actually really want to see you and stay with you. But whenever I think of Yingying, I will unconsciously think I will feel better if I distance myself from you."
Zhang Yaner said: "Sister Yingying really doesn't like me staying with you?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "That's right. Every time I think of her, I'm afraid of seeing you."
Zhang Yaner asked in a low voice: "Then when you were with me, were you also afraid of seeing her?"
Bai Yutian said: "Maybe. But the feeling I am afraid of seeing you is always stronger than the feeling of being afraid of seeing her."
Zhang Yaner said: "Why?"
Bai Yutian said: "Perhaps in this matter, I think you are kinder and more tolerant than her."
Zhang Yaner said: "Brother Bai, if Yingying doesn't want us to be together, do you really not like me anymore?"
Bai Yutian said: "It's very possible. I can't hurt her because of you, and I can't hurt you because of her. She is already my wife that I have kowtowed to. As long as she still loves me, I have no right to abandon her. I have an obligation to protect her and make her live a safe and happy life."
Zhang Yaner burst into tears and asked in a low voice: "Brother Bai, can we really not be together?"
Bai Yutian smiled bitterly and replied in a low voice: "Maybe. Husband and wife are of the same mind. Yingying does not accept that her husband has other women. As her husband, I naturally cannot have other women. This is fate, I will change No, I can't change, just because I still love her, I love her from the bottom of my heart."
Zhang Yaner said: "How come you are in love with her? You two have only been together for such a short time."
Bai Yutian hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Thinking of her, my heart feels very warm, as if I am soaking in a hot spring in winter."
Zhang Yaner wiped away her tears and asked, "Then do you think of me?"
Bai Yutian said: "Seeing you is like seeing a sea of flowers, with happy eyes and fragrant heart."
Zhang Yan'er threw herself into Bai Yutian's arms and said timidly: "Then let me accompany you for one night, so that the sea of flowers will always be frozen in spring, and you will be happy and fragrant for a lifetime."
Bai Yutian was moved when he heard that he was so happy. He gently helped Zhang Yan'er out of his arms and whispered: "Knowing the law and breaking the law will be punished with an additional penalty. I want to live up to your deep love. It is wrong. If I let you do it for me again, If something stupid happens, it means adding more mistakes to each other. Don't mention this matter in the future, never do it."
Zhang Yaner looked ashamed and asked: "Brother Bai, do you hate me very much?"
Bai Yutian said: "I like you. But... if you like you, you like it, and if you have it, you have it. If you like it, you have to own it. Then there will be endless fighting between people, and it will be life and death. That also requires affection. do what."
Zhang Yan'er finally fell in love with someone and was willing to give everything she could for him. If she couldn't possess him, it would be a waste of this unique love, and how could she be willing to do so. After hearing Bai Yutian's words, tears burst out from his eyes, and he cried loudly: "Brother Bai, I really can't live without you. I just want to live for you in this life."
Bai Yutian held Zhang Yan'er's little head in his arms, brushed her hair, and said calmly: "Silly girl, you should live your life for yourself, not for anyone else. A woman's happiness is for men. Finding someone who is willing to pay for you is more valuable than finding someone who is willing to pay for him. I can't give you everything, and it's not worth your life for me, you know?"
"Bai Yutian, with your words, my father finally didn't take his eyes off him." A voice came happily.
Bai Yutian looked around and saw Jiang Longwei walking from two feet away. He helped Zhang Yan'er stand up and greeted him: "Brother Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Longwei smiled and replied: "This is my home, why can't I come?"
Bai Yutian helped Zhang Yan'er wipe away her tears and said with a smile, "That's because I made a mistake with my words."
Jiang Longwei said: "Are you in a good mood? I have something to talk to you about."
Bai Yutian said: "Brother Jiang, if you are not afraid that the walls have ears, please come inside and talk."
Jiang Longwei smiled and said: "This is my home. Even if the partition wall has ears, they are the ears of my family. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"Then please!"
Bai Yutian stretched out her hand and walked behind Jiang Longwei with Zhang Yan'er. They entered the mansion and came to the courtyard where Zhang Yan'er lived. They sat down at the stone table in the courtyard and were ready to chat.
Jiang Longwei said: "I heard from my little Taohong today that you have no intention of succeeding as the chief escort, but is it true?"
Bai Yutian replied: "Longwei Escort Bureau was founded by two generations of your grandfather and your father. It can be said that it was built with hard work. I, an outsider, have no right to take possession by force. I should not have the intention to inherit the position of chief escort officer."
Jiang Longwei was a little confused and asked: "Then why did you let Mr. Yang and the others form a clique for you in the escort bureau, let Taoist Jingyin wave the flag and cheer for you, and let my sister stand guard to cheer you on?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "Brother Jiang, the operation of the bodyguard bureau depends entirely on those bodyguards. When the new leader takes over, if you don't see those people who sincerely support them, those people who are hypocritical, and those who just follow the wind." , how will you consolidate your position in the future, and what will you do to revitalize the escort agency and preserve the hard work of your ancestors."
Jiang Longwei complained: "But if you make such a fuss, the people in the escort agency will start to become disloyal and fall apart. I am afraid that when I become the chief escort officer, my strength will not be as good as before, and it will be a matter of time for the escort agency to decline. Furthermore, You can't just drive them away and replace them with new ones just because you don't agree with them. Are the new ones really that useful?"
Bai Yutian was very pleased to see that Jiang Longwei was thinking long-term and had a sense of worry. He smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, for the long-term stability of the escort agency, it is necessary to replace people. Don't fill your wisdom with affection, look forward and backward, and be merciful. I I have identified a few people for you. If you mind, if you are willing to accept them and run the escort agency with all your heart, they can make the escort agency run smoothly."
Jiang Longwei asked: "How many people have you scouted?"
Bai Yutian replied: "The three heroes of the Jiang family are Zhuo Yifei, Liu Qing and Su Zhener."
Jiang Longwei asked: "Who is Zhuo Yifei? Who is Liu Qing? Who is Su Zhen'er?"
Bai Yutian replied: "Zhuo Yifei is the son-in-law of Hu Zhuang owner Hu Yiqiu, Liu Qing is a disciple of Jiu Ningshan, and Su Zhener is the master of the Dragon Slayer Association's Suzaku Hall, which is your current crush, Xiao Taohong."
Jiang Longwei heard this, and it was like a thunderbolt hitting his head, and said: "Su Zhen'er, Dragon Slaying Club, Suzaku Hall, Xiao Taohong. Bai Yutian, if you talk nonsense, I will never get around you."
Bai Yutian smiled lightly and said: "Young Master Jiang, Su Zhen'er and I are allies, and I recognize her as my sister. If she hadn't wanted to cultivate with you, she would love you more than you love her. You are sincere, I am too lazy to recommend her to you."
Jiang Longwei had already learned from Taoist Master Jingyin that it was the Dragon Slayer Guild that killed his father, and that Xiao Taohong was actually a member of the Dragon Slayer Guild. This made him heartbroken, but he couldn't avoid talking about it and asked: "Bai Yutian, you Tell me truthfully, did Su Zhener know in advance that the Dragon Slayer Society was planning to murder my father?"
Bai Yutian replied happily: "I know."
Jiang Longwei hit the stone table with his palm, causing a big crack in the stone table. He stood up and shed tears into the crack. How much he wanted Bai Yutian to answer him "I don't know", even if he thought he was a fool and fooled him.
Seeing Jiang Longwei stand up and walk away, Bai Yutian stood up and said, "Brother Jiang, in fact, it doesn't matter whether Su Zhener tells you or not, it won't change anything. You have no reason to hold grudge against her."
Jiang Longwei finally heard a word that could forgive Su Zhen'er. He stopped, turned around, and said, "If she really wants to be with me, why didn't she tell me when she knew someone was trying to harm my father?"
Bai Yutian walked over, pulled Jiang Longwei to sit down at the stone table, and replied: "If she doesn't tell you that she is the master of the Suzaku Hall of the Dragon Slayer Association, and that the Dragon Slayer Association sent her to seduce you, you will believe that someone appeared out of thin air. The Dragon Slaying Club? Don’t say you don’t believe it, I’m afraid even your father may not believe it. Even if you are willing to believe that what she said is true, what can you use to make an enemy of the Dragon Slaying Club? They are like snakes and scorpions and are well-organized. , is huge in power and hides in the dark, no gang can compete with it.”
