Chapter 461 “Ye Ying (4)”
Due to how close the impending date for the alchemist convention was, right around the corner actually, the number of visitors has skyrocketed around the Medicine Sect as a result. Therefore, out of consideration for her son’s safety, Bai Yan specifically tasked the baby tiger Little Rice to stay permanently close to the boy’s side at all times. This was for Bai Xiachen’s safety, especially after what happened with the snake incident.
On the contrary though, Di Cang’s been so absent from their room that Bai Yan didn’t even know what the man’s been up to during the past few days.
If the person doesn’t want to say then she’s not going to ask, that left the woman either thinking about her life or simply continuing on with the path of cultivation.
Pity though….
Aside from that moment when the contract was made between them both, the mysterious scenes in her head had never once again surfaced like she wanted it to.
……
“Mother,” inside a quiet room of the inn, Bai Yan was currently lazing around by enjoying an afternoon tea when the door was pushed open and in came an excited steambun. Jumping right into those slender arms, “Mother, I am back!”
“What’s wrong, did you not enjoy your fun outside to come back this early?” Showing a stunning smile, Bai Yan gently caresses that hair in a soothing motion.

“The outside is too lively. Because of the alchemy convention, the people are proactively hosting their own little gatherings everywhere. But I still think Mother’s skill is better than theirs if you ask me.”
“Are they now?” She gives her son a lovely peck on the cheek over that compliment, causing the boy to burst into a giggling fit at the tickling sensation.
“Mother is the best, no one can compare with Mother!” Nodding in earnest like it’s the absolute truth, the little fella’s appearance glowed with pride over his own words.
“Ahumph!” Suddenly, a light cough from the doorway had broke their warm and intimate scene.
Wrinkling that brow: “Son, did you not remember my teachings? When entering and leave, one must always close the door. Remember this okay?”
First giving the uninvited guest at the door a disgruntled glance, then back at his own mother, he nods heavily: “I understand Mother, I will remember this for sure next time. I don’t want some bad people to get inside our home to harm you.”
“Lady, we meet again. Is this your son? He looks so cute.”
Humph, so what if he’s cute, nothing more than a little runt who doesn’t know his manners!
In any case, there’s no way Ye Ying would say what’s truly in her heart, not while in front of the competition anyways. Still smiling like she’s without harm, the girl walks into the room without an invitation.
“Today, I have something to discuss with you.”
Sipping the tea in her hand, Bai Yan casually asks without bothering to give the person a look: “I heard you are Bai Zhanpeng’s daughter.”
Startled at first over the question, Ye Ying quickly composes herself after realizing the information must’ve come from her follower Ye Zhung.
Bai Zhanpeng obviously didn’t want to take her as a goddaughter, but in times like this, there’s no way she could diminish her own prestige and allow the foe to step above herself.
Therefore, she only needed a moment to muse over the options at her disposal before nodding in confirmation: “My godfather is actually my distant-uncle. Due to how doting he is of me, it’s decided that I would become his goddaughter right after the alchemy convention. Regarding this piece of news, not many should know about it yet.”
“I see.”
Bai Zhanpeng is the distant-uncle of Ye Ying? In other words, the grandmother of this girl is the sister of the late wife of the current old lord.
“You said you came to me with something to discuss. What is it?”
Bai Yan’s not a nosy person, but she was quite interested in why someone like Ye Ying would want to meet herself.
“The man I saw at the restaurant the other day, is he your husband?” Furrowing her brow, the girl asks.
