Chapter 88: Unexpected Encounter with Liu Jiaoxue
After lunch, Bai Chen took Bai Nian Nian to school.
When the little one learned that Bai Chen was leaving, she clung to his leg and wouldn’t let go.
“Daddy will be back soon, no more than three days!”
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Bai Nian Nian’s eyes filled with tears, and she pouted her small lips.
“Then Daddy, you must come back quickly! Don’t leave Nian Nian behind!”
Feeling a soft spot in his heart, Bai Chen understood that Bai Nian Nian was afraid he might not return.
Bai Chen squatted down and tidied Bai Nian Nian’s hair, then smiled and said,
“What are you thinking, Nian Nian? Daddy would never leave you. After I come back, we’ll go to the amusement park together.”
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s promise, Bai Nian Nian finally smiled brightly and reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Chen before returning to kindergarten.
Bai Chen closed the medicinal meal shop and prepared to put up a notice that he was out, but after thinking for a moment, he decided against it.
After all, it was common for him to close occasionally; there was no need to remind anyone.
Back home, Bai Chen shared with Nan Yue Ran his plan to go to Beihu Prefecture.
After listening to Bai Chen explain the whole situation, Nan Yue Ran’s eyes turned slightly red.
“Bai Chen, you must return safely this time.”
“If you don’t find any divine medicine, hurry back. I’m already very content just to live happily together as a family.”
“What martial arts and all that? I’ve lost interest long ago.”
“Even if I could cultivate martial arts, I’m too old for it now. I just want us to be peaceful and joyful together.”
Bai Chen gently gave Nan Yue Ran’s cute nose a playful poke.
“Yue Ran, there are things I can’t talk about, but the reason you can’t practice martial arts is closely related to me; I certainly won’t just stand by and watch.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back in at most three days; nothing will happen.”
With her eyes red, Nan Yue Ran suddenly threw herself into Bai Chen’s arms.
A unique scent from Bai Chen filled Nan Yue Ran’s nostrils.
Nan Yue Ran took a deep breath, tightly hugged Bai Chen, wanting to freeze this moment in time.
It was only then did she realize how important Bai Chen had become to her.
She couldn’t accept the thought of Bai Chen leaving.
Kiss!
Nan Yue Ran lightly stood on her tiptoes and pecked Bai Chen on the lips before blushing and retreating into the house.
In a little while, Nan Yue Ran emerged with a suitcase.
“This is your clothing and daily necessities. Remember to eat breakfast when you’re out…”
As she chatted away, Bai Chen patiently listened, a slight smile on his face.
After Nan Yue Ran finished, Bai Chen gently wrapped her in his arms.
“Yue Ran, take care of yourself and look after Nian Nian while I’m gone.”
With that, Bai Chen left with the luggage that Nan Yue Ran had prepared for him.
In reality, Bai Chen didn’t need the luggage at all, but it was Nan Yue Ran’s heartfelt gesture.
To him, this gesture was incredibly precious.
After Bai Chen walked away, Nan Yue Ran sat in place feeling empty, as if something important had been lost.
After a long time, she finally wiped away the tears on her face.
“Nan Yue Ran, pull yourself together! Take care of Nian Nian! Wait for Bai Chen to come home!”
……
At the Beihu Prefecture airport, very few people knew Bai Chen had left Jiangnan.
Only the Su family, the Zhao family, and a few others, including Nan Yue Ran, were aware of Bai Chen’s departure.
However, at the airport, Bai Chen spotted a familiar face from Lintai.
Liu Jiaoxue!
And Liu Jiaoxue also recognized Bai Chen at once.
Fate can be quite clever.
Today, Liu Jiaoxue wore a white short-sleeved shirt, which had a large Squirtle printed on the chest, creating quite a noticeable bulge.
She paired it with light blue jeans, which showed off her curvy legs beautifully.
Liu Jiaoxue’s petite and charming appearance caught the attention of many men at the airport.
“What a big Squirtle, wow!”
“What a slender girl with such a prominent feature! What does she eat to grow like that?”
Liu Jiaoxue was accompanied by several men, with Jiang Yuan Ji, who was the leader, among them.
“Boss Bai? What are you doing here?”
Liu Jiaoxue stared at Bai Chen, momentarily confused.
Jiang Yuan Ji felt a chill run down his spine, nervously watching Bai Chen.
This man was a skilled expert!
Bai Chen looked at Liu Jiaoxue with interest.
“Why aren’t you at the company? What are you doing here?”
Liu Jiaoxue felt a bit embarrassed at his question.
She felt like a student skipping school, caught at an internet café by her teacher.
“I took a leave of absence! Just three days!”
Liu Jiaoxue looked at Bai Chen with a guilty expression.
Bai Chen had no intention of calling out Liu Jiaoxue’s excuse.
As the daughter of the Liu family, Liu Jiaoxue definitely wasn’t here for a vacation.
Recalling what Zhao Ruilong had said earlier, Bai Chen already guessed Liu Jiaoxue’s purpose.
“You came to Beihu for the divine medicine?”
Bai Chen asked Liu Jiaoxue directly.
Liu Jiaoxue was taken aback, her expression becoming serious.
“Boss Bai, you’re here for the same reason as us, right?”
Watching Liu Jiaoxue’s cautious demeanor, Bai Chen replied lightly,
“I am indeed here for that divine medicine.”
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Liu Jiaoxue’s heart sank.
In all of Lintai, there was only one peak innate expert.
And that expert was her grandfather!
The Family Head of the Liu family!
Now that her grandfather’s time was running out, and with the news of the divine medicine appearing, she had brought the Liu family’s experts here to seize it.
If they could obtain that divine medicine, her grandfather’s chances of breaking through to the peak innate would increase greatly!
Then, the Liu family would have a master!
In all of Jiangnan, there was only one master.
If the Liu family had a master, they would no longer be just one of the three giants of Lintai, but the giant of Jiangnan!
Additionally, even if the divine medicine couldn’t help her grandfather break through, it could significantly extend his life.
So no matter what, Liu Jiaoxue had to get that divine medicine!
But now, Bai Chen’s goal was the same as hers!
And Bai Chen was a peak innate expert.
Liu Jiaoxue would definitely lose against Bai Chen!
Watching Liu Jiaoxue’s expression change, Bai Chen said indifferently,
“You don’t need to be nervous, as your nervousness will have no effect. That divine medicine is mine.”
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, Liu Jiaoxue’s eyes widened in shock.
“You!”
She didn’t expect Bai Chen to speak so straightforwardly.
Bai Chen glanced at Liu Jiaoxue.
“What? Did you think I would say something about fair competition? Don’t be silly, you might as well go home early.”
Hearing this, the people beside Liu Jiaoxue looked at Bai Chen with resentment.
“How do you know you can definitely get that divine medicine?”
“Exactly! Don’t underestimate us!”
“It’s just a peak innate! There are plenty of peak innate experts here!”
Ignoring the noisy group, Bai Chen walked away.
Liu Jiaoxue, furious, stomped her foot as she watched Bai Chen’s back.
“Hmph! Just you wait! I don’t believe you can get that divine medicine!”
“There are a whole bunch of peak innate experts here!”
Jiang Yuan Ji sighed as he watched Bai Chen leave, then turned to Liu Jiaoxue.
“Miss, what should we do now?”
Liu Jiaoxue took a deep breath, her eyes darting around as a cunning smile appeared on her face.
“Follow him! We’ll follow Bai Chen!”
