Chapter 60: Lin Ruhai and Su Yun’s Secret
When Chen Wu returned home, she began to rummage through the closet. Her father could not help but ask, “What are you looking for?”
“I remember that there is a bottle of high-quality spirit recovery pills in the dojo. It can quickly recover the spiritual energy, and there are also pills that can stop bleeding and heal wounds. Where are they?”
Father Chen asked in confusion, “What do you need these for? Didn’t you just come back from the periphery of the mystic realm? Are you going out again now?”
“It’s Lin Bai. He’s going to the capital to exchange and study. I thought it would be dangerous for him to go alone, so I want to bring him some medicine for him to protect himself in case he needs it.”
Father Chen wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. He saw that Chen Wu’s eyes were filled with spring, like peach blossoms shimmering, but there was a lingering worry on her brows. His heart skipped a beat. He didn’t expect that she would fall so deeply into this.
“Xiao Wu…”
He seemed to have made up his mind. Finally, he opened his mouth and said,
“I’ve opened a dojo. People come and go. I’ve seen all kinds of people. I’ve experienced many things. You and Lin Bai are not the same. He’s an eagle soaring in the sky. This small place can’t restrain him at all. He won’t stay for you.”
Chen Wu’s hand instantly stopped. Her body stiffened and she turned around, her expression was a little unnatural as she said, “Father, what are you talking about? I don’t have that kind of intention towards him. We’re just classmates, and he represents our school…”
Father Chen did not refute her. He just stared at her quietly. Chen Wu’s voice became softer and softer, and she gradually lost her confidence. She was not only saying it for Father Chen, but also for herself. It was as if she could deceive herself and others by doing so, she hid her worry and concern for Lin Bai.
“You know very well what the reason is. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
Father Chen sighed and said, “Although I am also very grateful for Lin Bai’s help. Without him, I’m afraid that our wind and cloud dojo would have been annexed by other forces long ago. But you have to be clear that kindness is not love.”
“Now that he is going to the capital, even at the peak of our Dojo’s glory, we might not be able to match up to him, let alone now.”
Chen Wu could not help but retort, “Lin Bai is not that kind of snobbish person.”
“Even if he isn’t, he is destined not to belong to this city. When that time comes, the disparity between the two of you is too great. It is impossible for you to catch up to him.”
Chen Wu bit her lips and wanted to say something. She wanted to say something but she knew that what father Chen said was the truth. She and Lin Bai were indeed not on the same side.
“Ding Dong –”
The medicinal pill that they had struggled to find landed on the ground, making a crisp sound. The room was extremely quiet. Father Chen patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Think about it carefully.”
On the other side, Lin Bai and Luo Qin waited for a long time, but they still couldn’t see Chen Wu’s figure.
“What do you think Chen Wu is doing? She’s taking so long to take the medicine.” Luo Qin teased, “Could it be that she couldn’t bear to give up the pill, so she went back on her word?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple dressed in the uniform of the Wind and Cloud Dojo ran over and said breathlessly, “Senior sister Chen Wu asked me to bring this to you.”
Luo Qin couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t she come herself?”
“Senior sister said that she was feeling a little unwell and needed to rest, so she asked me to send it over.”
Hearing this, the two of them were even more puzzled. She was clearly fine just now, but after such a short while, she was already feeling unwell.
After saying this, the disciple left in a hurry, making the two of them even more confused. Luo Qin suggested,
“Why don’t you go back and pack your things first? We’re leaving today. It’s really too rushed. I don’t know when you guys will come back. Say goodbye to your family properly. I’ll go and see Chen Wu later.”
Lin Bai nodded. He felt that this suggestion was not bad. After bidding farewell to Luo Qin, he rushed to Red Luan Peak, intending to tell Lin Ruhai and Su Yun this news.
“What? You’re going to the capital!”
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai and Su Yun’s reaction was extremely big. Realizing that they were too excited, Lin Ruhai coughed a few times, “What I mean is that you’ve never gone on a long trip before. Moreover, you’re the only one going to the capital this time. There’s no one else in the school. Why don’t we just forget about it?”
Lin Ruhai and Su Yun had always been supportive of Lin Bai’s arrangements, not to mention his cultivation. It could be said that they had given everything they had, but this time, they voiced out to stop him.
Lin Bai was a little puzzled. “The Dean has also considered this aspect. In order to take care of me, he will also go with me.”
“This…”
The couple looked at each other, seemingly unable to find a reason to refuse. Lin Ruhai secretly gave Su Yun a look.
Su Yun looked embarrassed and stuttered, “But… But you’ve never gone out on a long trip before. Moreover, you’re not familiar with the capital. If anything happens, you won’t be able to take care of yourself.”
Unfortunately, Lin Bai had already made up his mind. No matter what Lin Ruhai and Su Yun said, he would not change his decision. “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Besides, with my power, I can run away even if I can’t beat them.”
Lin Bai only thought that they were worried about him, so he was worried that he would go to the capital. He did not think too much about it and comforted Lin Ruhai and Su Yun.
Lin Ruhai and Su Yun could only force a smile. “Then, that’s fine. You take care of yourself outside.”
Lin Bai simply packed his luggage and rejected the crystals that Lin Ruhai gave him. “Keep it for yourself. I have some here. Besides, I can earn crystals by refining pills.”
After a few words of advice, Lin Bai bid farewell to the two of them. Looking at his back, the husband and wife looked as if they could not resolve their worries.
“What should we do? He has to go to the capital. What if he run into those people?”
Lin Ruhai glared at her and said unhappily, “I asked you to persuade this child just now, but you didn’t do it properly.”
Su Yun didn’t want to be outdone. “It’s not like you don’t know Lin Bai’s character. No one can stop him once he has decided on something. If you want me to persuade him, why don’t you do it yourself?”
“Forget it. It’s useless to say all this now. After so many years, those people in the capital should have all left.” After saying that, Lin Ruhai revealed a mocking smile. “Those people have very high standards. They wouldn’t be focused here?”
“I think it’s no problem for Lin Bai to go. It’s also good to broaden his horizons. Otherwise, he will always be confined in this small town.”
The couple could only comfort themselves this way. After all, it had been too long. Those people from before should have already left.
At this moment, those who had gone far away did not know about the conversation between the couple. Otherwise, they would have been shocked. His parents had always been simple and ordinary. They did not have any spiritual power on them. Now, they seemed to have some connection with the capital.
