Chapter 214: Wanting to See the Asura Field
Bai Wei was indeed tired, mentally exhausted. He just wanted to take a nap, and then he fell asleep.
He had been pushing his limits recently, traveling between two places continuously, even experiencing astral projection.
If it weren’t for the protective effect of the area covered by the Golden Tree on Bai Wei’s soul, perhaps he wouldn’t have been able to continue drifting in dreams for so many days.
Or perhaps it was inevitable for Bai Wei’s soul to drift to the Tulip Academy where the Golden Tree was located because of their deep connection.
He needed to rest for a while, maybe an hour would be enough. He was lying on the bed, so it couldn’t really be considered a knee pillow, right?
Sakurai Shiru, on the other hand, was very happy. She had experienced this kind of thing before.
Her mother had died early, and she had been admitted to the hospital at the age of ten. She mostly met and talked with her father. She was too weak to even hug others. At most, when her father was exhausted and rested by her side, Sakurai Shiru would hold his hand and gently smooth out the wrinkles on his forehead. It would help him sleep more peacefully and not think about the noise and disturbances outside.
Bai Wei didn’t have as many worries, so his forehead had no wrinkles. But Sakurai Shiru still habitually began touching him.
At this moment, she was sitting up, and the other person’s head was pressed against the blanket. The previously frail little girl now seemed to be in a dominant position, which made her find it interesting and touching. Looking at others from this angle, it felt like she had suddenly grown up.
She didn’t have any romantic thoughts; she just hoped that this moment would last a little longer.
So she raised her finger to signal the others to be quiet.
Although she didn’t know, Bai Wei had never accepted anyone’s knee pillow or slept lying on a bed.
Even Yagyū Simozi hadn’t lent her knee to Bai Wei and then massaged his head or cleaned his ears.
She had thought about it, but didn’t have a chance to do it. Maybe because she couldn’t handle such delicate actions, or maybe because Bai Wei was afraid she would puncture his eardrum.
Based on this point alone, Yagyū Simozi’s first impression of Sakurai Shiru became extremely complicated.
Saki Jingūji’s reaction was more straightforward. She wanted to rush over and wake Bai Wei up, considering it as sitting on a patient’s knee.
Come and sit on my knee!
Yun Wuxin said, "He’s asleep. Let’s wait for a while… He has been working tirelessly these days, probably not resting much because of the medical expenses."
"Medical expenses, right." Xue Hanlei remembered this matter. "This is a private hospital, and the medical fees are high."
"Let’s discuss it outside." Yun Wuxin glanced at Yagyū Simozi. "You seem to have some questions."
Women talk better without men around.
Yagyū Simozi agreed, and they went to the rest area.
"Yagyū Simozi, this is Saki Jingūji." The younger sister introduced herself, "May I ask how you know my brother?"
"Brother?" Xue Hanlei exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise. "Are you siblings?"
"Yes, but the blood relationship is very distant, beyond ten generations," Yagyū Simozi emphasized.
Yun Wuxin felt it was unnecessary, but still explained, "I am not very familiar with him. I am only here to visit Sakurai Shiru."
"Are you planning to adopt her?" Yagyū Simozi’s face relaxed slightly.
"I initially had that intention, but I haven’t had the chance to do so," Yun Wuxin said. "If you don’t treat her well, I will intervene and take her back to the Ming Country."
"You can take her back if you want." Yagyū Simozi didn’t mind. "The environment in the Ming Country’s immortal sect is much better than the Yagyū’s."
"Even the immortal sect has its own restrictions. It may not be a good thing for her to leave her hometown." Yun Wuxin shook her head. "I mentioned taking her back because of her illness, but now it seems her condition has unexpectedly improved."
"When did it start?" Saki Jingūji asked.
"Three weeks ago."
"Do you often meet here?"
"Often?" Yun Wuxin pondered for a moment, seeming to remember that it didn’t exceed a few times in total. She was about to answer.
"Of course." Xue Hanlei interjected. "After all, we come here frequently, and he comes here quite often too."
Jingūji immediately narrowed her eyes. "Is that so? You do care about this little girl. Is there any connection between you?"
"It’s fate." Yun Wuxin mentioned causality, a concept that ordinary people couldn’t understand about the immortal sect’s emphasis on cutting off worldly attachments.
"Mysterious and profound, hence creating mystery…" Saki Jingūji was also a shrine maiden, but she followed pragmatism and didn’t care much for these philosophical concepts.
She actually wanted to ask Yun Wuxin directly if she had any ulterior motives.
However, the other party was from the Ming Country’s immortal sect. Upon closer inspection, her appearance was surprisingly natural and exquisite, with no makeup. Her personality was also cold and natural.
No, the other party had too much advantage… just based on nationality, she was at a natural disadvantage!
Who in the Ming Country wouldn’t want to marry a fairy as a wife? Steal her clothes, quickly steal her clothes!
Never mind that Saki Jingūji is romance-oriented, in fact, Yun Wuxin’s actions are not entirely pure either, making it inevitable for others to suspect if she has any ulterior motives.
Even Xue Hanlei didn’t believe that Yun Wuxin kept coming here to visit Sakurai Shiru just because of a talisman.
She speculated that Yun Wuxin must have an unusual interest in Bai Wei. In fact, this immortal sect member did mention past causality.
She suspected that the little fairy harbored a significant sense of guilt in her heart.
"Yun Chuyou is Yun Wuxin’s biological sister. They are twins, but their temperaments are completely different."
"Yun Wuxin is like snow, while Yun Chuyou is like ice."
Xue Hanlei, however, always felt that there was something impure in all of this. In the competition, there were so many people who fought against Yun Chuyou, so why did she have to break Bai Wei’s spiritual pulse, causing him to lose the chance to advance to the great master level?
Not only did he ruin a promising young man’s future, but he also completely offended the National Martial Arts Academy and tarnished his own reputation. Even now, disciples of Bai Yujing are being ridiculed because of this incident, and the number of people allowed to leave the mountain has been reduced.
The Ming Country has many sects and a strong inheritance, but there is also a serious problem of protecting favorites. The hasty conclusion of Bai Wei’s matter may be because he doesn’t have much influence behind him or perhaps because Bai Yujing’s background is too powerful.
Anyway, judging from the result, all sides have lost, and no one has benefited from this.
At the very least, the Supreme Bone is like a plug-in, while the Spiritual Vein Bone cannot be used immediately and if it breaks, it will also break in someone else’s body.
Xue Hanlei thought that although there is no trace of Yun Wuxin in this matter, her sister participated in the competition, so she must have been there personally, possibly at the competition site.
But Yun Wuxin never participated in the competition, and it is also impossible for her to replace her sister in the competition and crush Bai Wei. Even if she did, it is hard to imagine that she would use such a ruthless approach.
Although this possibility is extremely low, the cultivation methods of these two sisters are completely identical.
Yun Wuxin also came to Yingzhou for further studies just one month after the Kirin race, so the time was very rushed.
It was too hasty. At that time, it wasn’t even the start of the school year. She transferred in the middle of the semester.
Even with various speculations, Xue Hanlei still stands with Yun Wuxin. She would not say these words to outsiders. These two girls from Yingzhou are outsiders, while Bai Wei is from the Ming Country and will return there sooner or later, so he is considered half an outsider… Xue Hanlei appreciates this kind of responsible man.
Anyway, she cannot let outsiders bully Yun Wuxin.
Yun Wuxin thought for a moment, without explaining, and said, "You should go in and get to know Sakurai Shiru."
"I already know the general situation, but my brother didn’t mention you to me, so I’m a little surprised," Yagyū Simozi’s mood was unexpectedly calm. She casually suppressed her frustration in her heart. She knew that Bai Wei could never have any connection with the Immortals. Even if there was, it couldn’t be friendship or anything beyond that, it would be indifference and hostility. Two opposing views would definitely not give a good expression.
"Because it’s unnecessary," Yun Wuxin said. It’s their family matter after all.
"Yes, it’s unnecessary because we will visit sooner or later," Xue Hanlei added intentionally.
Saki Jingūji bit the bait and asked, "You talk as if you are familiar with each other? Why haven’t I seen you visit?"
"Naturally," Xue Hanlei smiled. "After all, we are going to visit not here in Yingzhou… His family is in the Ming Country, right?"
Jingūji sensed the implicit meaning and turned her head to breathe in fresh air outside the window, exhaling her frustration.
"If the adoption is confirmed, her registration will be transferred to the Ming Country through the embassy, and she will need to go back to the Ming Country within a year to complete the registration," Yun Wuxin said. "I was just about to remind him not to forget about this."
the Ming Country, once again the Ming Country, this is an unavoidable hurdle.
Bai Wei is ultimately a person from the Ming Country, and once Sakurai Shiru’s adoption process is officially completed, she will also become a person from the Ming Country, even changing her surname to Bai.
Jingūji is already unable to argue anymore.
Yun Wuxin said, "He seems to have woken up. I’ll go in and talk to him about this matter first. You might as well wait a while before going in."
Well-intentioned advice.
Xue Hanlei said, "Let’s also introduce you to Little Shiru."
Deliberate flaunting.
Two Ming Country girls entered the ward, and Saki Jingūji’s fists had already clenched tightly, "Damn it!"
Yagyū Simozi said lightly, "It doesn’t matter, no matter what they say, it doesn’t mean anything… their words don’t count when it comes to my brother."
Jingūji worried, "But what if? That immortal definitely has some thoughts."
Yagyū Simozi shook her head, "It’s impossible. Her sister and brother had a grudge, you know that too."
Jingūji still worried, "But what if, this is for revenge?"
"Revenge?"
"Revenge?" "Yeah… It’s revenge!" Jingūji’s imagination was vivid, automatically embodying the role and vividly reenacting her fabricated inner monologue, "That woman’s interruption was truly hateful! Although I can’t do anything to that woman, why don’t I get her twin sister and bully her, make her cry and sob every night, rendering that malicious woman helpless! Ahahaha…"
Yagyū Simozi hadn’t considered this possibility from this perspective before, and her composed expression disappeared, "It shouldn’t… right?"
She actually believed it a little!
