In a small courtyard with only a few rooms, there is a small open space in front of the house. There is a stone table and several stone benches in the middle. On the right side, there is a tree several meters high and thick as an arm, with sparse leaves growing on it. , and the color is a little yellowish, looking half-dead. A purple tree vine grows from the root of the tree, and then winds up, entangled the trunk and branches, but the color of the wisteria is also a bit dim, and it seems to be ready at any time. They will be unable to wrap themselves around and fall apart.
A white figure squatted under the tree, seeming to be cleaning the weeds under the tree. A few strands of her waist-length hair even fell to the ground. When Bai Yunfei walked into the small courtyard, he saw her raising her left hand to clean up the weeds. A few strands of long hair that floated in front of her eyes were tucked behind her ears - this was also a habitual action that Tang Xinyun often liked to do.
She was obviously too focused before, and it wasn't until Tang Xinyun and Bai Yunfei walked into the small courtyard that she turned around in surprise, revealing a graceful, luxurious and stunning face.
When she saw Tang Xinyun walking towards her, her expression suddenly froze. It seemed that she was so surprised that she temporarily forgot her movements. She just stared at Tang Xinyun blankly, and even the handful of weeds she held in her hand fell to the ground, and the soil on it fell. She stained her long white dress and didn't notice it at all.
Tang Xinyun stopped after she turned around, and looked at the other party blankly, but her eyes were not as absent-minded as the other party's, but full of excitement.
The two stared at each other for a long time, but Tang Xinyun broke the silence first. She opened her red lips and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Mom, I'm back..."
…
Bai Yunfei sat on a stone bench in the small courtyard, playing with a small silver flying knife in his hand. From time to time, he turned his head and glanced at a small room next to him, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Tang Xinyun and her mother reunited after a long absence, so naturally they had a lot to say. The two of them entered the house, while Bai Yunfei consciously stayed outside.
"Squeak..."
There was a slight sound of opening the door. Bai Yunfei turned around and saw Tang Xinyun, mother and daughter, walking out. However, Tang Xinyun's eyes seemed a little red, but there was a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.
Chu Qingxue took Tang Xinyun's hand and came to Bai Yunfei, smiled at him, and said: "Mr. Bai, Xinyun has already told me, thank you for taking care of her all the time, and this time I'm really troubling you to send her back specially..."
Her voice was clear and moving, somewhat similar to Tang Xinyun, and her skin was fair with no wrinkles visible. Bai Yunfei really couldn't believe that she was Tang Xinyun's mother. According to Tang Xinyun, Chu Qingxue should be very old, but looking at her The appearance is at most thirty.
"Haha, auntie, just call me Yunfei." Bai Yunfei smiled awkwardly, "Xinyun and I are both disciples of the Weapon Refining Sect. We should take care of each other. Auntie, you don't have to be so polite."
His performance surprised Chu Qingxue. Tang Xinyun told her some things about Bai Yunfei, including of course the fact that he was a direct disciple of the old master of the Weapon Refining Sect. He was extremely talented and had an extraordinary status, but she didn't expect that he had something... Shy', but this also made her favor her greatly.
Chu Qingxue showed a friendly smile and asked: "Yunfei, what are your plans in the future? Do you have somewhere else to go or are you just hanging out in this strange city?"
Bai Yunfei thought for a while and said: "I don't have any plans for other places. Let's just stay here. After Xinyun spends time with Auntie, we will return to the Weapon Refining Sect. During this time, we will have to bother Auntie..."
"Haha, then you can just live in this small courtyard." Chu Qingxue pointed to the room on the far left, "Just treat it as your own home. You can also let Xinyun take you around these days. Fan, but...it may be inconvenient to go to other places in the Tang family. I think Xinyun also told you that our mother and daughter..."
Bai Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry about this, I won't wander around the house."
The three of them sat at the stone table and chatted casually. When Tang Xinyun saw her mother, she could see that she was in a much better mood and behaved much more cheerfully. She told about what she had experienced while traveling with Aunt Zhao on the way to the Weapon Refining Sect. Or some interesting things in the Refining Sect, Bai Yunfei spent most of the time listening. Seeing the girl's heartfelt smile, his heart became clear. He felt that even just to see the smile at this moment, he had to escort her thousands of miles away. It's worth it too.
"Madam, madam! I heard that the lady is back, is it true?!"
While they were chatting, a rough voice came from outside, and then an orange figure rushed into the small courtyard.
The moment he heard this voice, Bai Yunfei's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously had the idea of escape, but before he could make any move, the man had already rushed in front of the three of them.
Tang Xinyun stood up and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhao, I'm back..."
"Miss, it's really you!" Aunt Zhao was still dressed like a middle-aged rural woman, her face was full of excitement, and there was even a trace of mist in her eyes, "Miss... why didn't you let me know when you were coming back? So I can rush to pick you up..."
Tang Xinyun said: "Haha, Aunt Zhao, it was Yun Fei who sent me back with a flying sword, so I didn't have time to notify you in advance."
"Yunfei?" Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and saw Bai Yunfei standing aside.
Bai Yunfei nodded awkwardly to Aunt Zhao and said with a smile: "Uh... Aunt Zhao, we meet again, haha..."
"It's you!!" Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment and then said in shock, "Why are you with the lady?!"
Seeing the anger and suspicion in the other person's eyes, Bai Yunfei quickly waved his hand and said: "Aunt Zhao, don't get me wrong. I didn't expect to meet Xinyun in the Refining Sect. I really didn't know your destination beforehand. It’s also the Weapon Refining Sect…”
Tang Xinyun suppressed her laughter and said, "Well, Aunt Zhao, Yunfei and I did meet again in the Weapon Refining Sect, and he was a month older than me at Wanfei Mountain, so don't doubt him anymore..."
Chu Qingxue looked at the three of them inexplicably, but Tang Xinyun didn't tell her about this matter.
Bai Yunfei originally thought that Aunt Zhao would get angry, but after Tang Xinyun helped explain a few words, Aunt Zhao calmed down, probably believing Tang Xinyun's words. She stared at Bai Yunfei for a long time, and suddenly said sincerely: "Once upon a time Maybe I really misunderstood. Please don't mind, Mr. Bai. The last time outside Gaoyi City, it was all Mr. Bai who saved you. Now you have sent the young lady back to reunite with the madam. In any case, Zhao Mancha would like to thank Mr. Bai here. Got it!"
"Uh..." Bai Yunfei was stunned, but he didn't expect Aunt Zhao to be so 'reasonable'. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Aunt Zhao said something serious. As long as you believe me, it's fine, haha..."
Chu Qingxue was about to ask what the three of them were talking about, but she saw Aunt Zhao's face suddenly changed, as if she remembered something, and said solemnly: "By the way, miss, when you come back, you will be with that Hua Binbai Have you ever been in contact?"
"Huh?" Bai Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "How could Aunt Zhao know about this?"
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Aunt Zhao knew that this was indeed the case. She looked a little embarrassed and said, "When I came back, I saw a group of people from the Hua family coming to the Tang family in a menacing manner. The second young master was receiving them, and so did I. I only found out that the lady was back after listening to what they said. I didn’t listen carefully to the specific details. I just heard that they said something happened to Hua Binbai and that they wanted the lady to go out and give an explanation or something... "
Bai Yunfei's eyes flashed coldly, and he snorted: "Huh! He really dares to come here? I think he mainly comes to me for revenge, right? He's really asking for trouble!"
Chu Qingxue heard this inexplicably and asked doubtfully: "Xinyun, Yunfei, what's going on? Why do you have a conflict with that Hua Binbai?"
"This..." Tang Xinyun hesitated, as if she didn't know how to say it.
Bai Yunfei did not have many scruples, and directly told the story of the previous conflict with Hua Binbai on Zilan Mountain. After hearing this, Aunt Zhao became furious and snorted: "Then Hua Binbai really said such outrageous things?" ?! Okay... What a flower family! Madam is gentle and doesn’t want to argue with them, and she tolerates everything, but they are getting more and more aggressive. Do they really have to drive Madam and Miss out of the Tang family before they are willing to do it!!"
Tang Xinyun asked with some worry: "Aunt Zhao, who is coming from the Hua family?"
Aunt Zhao thought for a while and said: "I didn't look carefully, but it seems that the leader is Hua Binbai's second brother Hua Chenshi, and there are also a group of guards or retainers..."
Chu Qingxue was silent for a moment, then said: "I'd better go out and explain to them. Xinyun has just returned home, so it's best not to make a big deal out of this matter..."
Aunt Zhao coldly snorted: "Hmph! The people of the Hua family are getting more and more arrogant. This time they mobilized their troops to cause trouble. Hua Yueying will definitely only favor the Hua family, and maybe she will make a big fuss about this matter. If you want to embarrass the madam and the young lady, I think we should just say that the young lady has not come back yet and let them make trouble!"
Chu Qingxue frowned and said: "How can this be done? Now many people in the house know that Xinyun is back, how can they escape like this? And do you want Xinyun to not even be able to return home secretly?"
Tang Xinyun bit her lower lip and said softly: "Mom, why don't I go apologize to Hua Binbai? They just want to save face. I..."
"boom!!"
A loud noise interrupted Tang Xinyun's words. The three of them turned around in shock, only to see that a corner of the stone table beside them had been blown off. Bai Yunfei retracted his right fist with evil eyes and said in a cold voice: "Apologise?! Why! !I don’t agree!! Why should Xinyun suffer such injustice?! Why is the Hua family so domineering?! It’s ridiculous! I beat them, they just want revenge, I will go and meet them for a while !!”
After saying that, he flashed out of the small courtyard and rushed towards the Tang family hall like the wind.
"Yunfei! Yunfei!!" Tang Xinyun was shocked and shouted twice in a hurry, but Bai Yunfei showed no reaction. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared at the corner of a trail.
