Chapter 72: Let Me Stay By Your Side
Bai Zhou naturally wouldn’t disobey Jian Ai’s words, so he could only nod. Then, after thinking for a moment, he looked at Jian Ai and asked, “Sect Master, do you want to see the others? If they know that I’ve found you, they’ll be very happy. With the twelve guards by your side, we can protect you.”
Jian Ai waved her hand without thinking. “There’s no need for that. This is not the best time. Keep this matter a secret.”
It was not that Jian Ai resisted members from the ancient sect, but she had only just learned of this identity. Besides, as Bai Zhou had said, most of the twelve guards were living ordinary lives now, as was Jian Ai herself. She did not want to destroy all of this because of her, the sect master who had suddenly appeared. Unless necessary, everyone should live a peaceful life.
Bai Zhou was a smart person. He could naturally guess seventy to eighty percent of Jian Ai’s thoughts and expressed his understanding.
“In that case, I will not inform anyone else of this matter for the time being. However, Sect Master, please let me stay by your side. Otherwise, if anything happens in the future, I will not be able to account for others.” Bai Zhou’s serious expression returned. As soon as he had finished speaking, he lowered his head to express his determination.
Jian Ai glanced at him. Since she had already rejected meeting the others, it would seem too unreasonable to refuse Bai Zhou now.
Furthermore, after her rebirth, her fourteen-year-old age was especially awkward. She was also timid when she wanted to do something. If Bai Zhou could stay by her side to help when she needed people, she could resolve many problems.
Jian Ai nodded and smiled. “If it’s convenient for you to stay, then stay.”
When Bai Zhou heard this, he was delighted. “Thank you, Sect Master.”
It was already dawn when Bai Zhou left. Jian Ai sat on the sofa and could not calm down for a long time.
It turned out that there were nearly a hundred people from the ancient sect in this world, and after her rebirth, she was the chosen sect master.
These things sounded too unreal. If she hadn’t experienced it herself, Jian Ai wouldn’t have believed it.
The next morning, Jian Ai and Guan Tao ate breakfast at the breakfast stall.
“Xiao Ai, will we not be able to eat Auntie Mei’s fried dough sticks after the demolition…” Guan Tao said sadly.
Among the many breakfast stalls in South City, Wang Yunmei’s fried dough sticks were unique. Guan Tao grew up with Jian Ai, and she had also eaten these fried dough sticks since she was young. Now that she thought of the demolition in the future, this breakfast stall naturally had to be closed as well.
Jian Ai smiled at Guan Tao’s expression and said softly, “My mother is working too hard. Even if the place won’t be demolished, I would still think of a way to make her close this breakfast stall.”
Guan Tao raised her eyes to look at the busy Wang Yunmei inside. Then, she nodded in understanding. “It’s too hard for Auntie Mei to take care of her two children alone.”
People came and left. Jian Ai and Guan Tao were about to go to school after breakfast when they saw Wang Yunfa running over from afar.
Before he reached the stall, Wang Yunfa called out at the top of his voice, “Sister! Sister!”
When Wang Yunmei heard the voice, she poked her head out of the stall. When she saw Wang Yunfa, she couldn’t help but be stunned. “What are you doing so early in the morning? Are you having breakfast?”
Wang Yunfa grinned. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood. When he heard this, he took out a document file and waved it in his hand. “What breakfast? The deed! I brought it for you!”
