Chapter 1113: Chapter 1112: Hou Baiyu (Supplement for Yesterday)

He, Luo Yirui, didn’t dare say he’d trained, but he’d definitely been trained on!

So even though he was four years younger than Lu Xuehan, there was no way he’d lose to her in strength.

Lu Xuehan’s cheeks hurt from anger; counting this brat’s behavior yesterday, she had to teach him a lesson.

Just as the two of them were locked in a stalemate, two youths walked over—it was that Hou Family boy and the other youth; Luo Yirui remembered his mom had said that one was a child of the Fu Family.

Seeing the two young masters walking this way, Lu Xuehan immediately let go, clasped her hands together, her face a little embarrassed, yet she couldn’t help stealing glances at those two.

"Brother Baiyu, Brother Xuan Ge." Lu Xuehan looked every bit the well-behaved good girl, making Luo Yirui feel like puking.

So there really were girls like the kind his little aunt talked about, what were they called again—oh right, white lotus bitches!

Luo Yirui chuckled; so one was called Hou Baiyu, and one was called Fu Xuan Ge—this Lu Xuehan wasn’t totally useless after all, at least she could provide some intel.

The two youths didn’t react at all to Lu Xuehan’s soft, gentle greeting; instead, they gave Luo Yirui a couple of extra looks.

Hou Baiyu came to a stop, and Fu Xuan Ge stopped with him; the two of them stared at Luo Yirui together.

Luo Yirui calmly met their gaze, showing not the slightest hint of weakness or disgrace.

Hou Baiyu felt a slight surprise; this kid should only be five or six, yet that calm demeanor came so naturally, not like he was putting on an act, and facing them he actually gave off a kind of composed, unruffled air.

Plenty of people had that kind of bearing, but many of them had it drilled into them later; Luo Yirui’s, though, was very natural, and Hou Baiyu thought of the rumors he’d heard before.

"Are you the Child of Qingyu?" Hou Baiyu asked.

At the side, Fu Xuan Ge was slightly shocked; he knew very well what kind of temperament Hou Baiyu had—his nature was truly indifferent; aside from being interested in all kinds of Mystic Doctor knowledge, he wasn’t interested in anything else, and even less in people. As he himself said, rather than waste effort on schemes and mind games, better to spend more time studying.

If it weren’t for the bond they’d formed when they were very young, their relationship wouldn’t be so close; he didn’t like approaching others, nor others approaching him.

Outside, the rumor was that Hou Baiyu was the only one who might surpass Nie Kaihuan, but that day he’d accidentally overheard the clan elders saying that Hou Baiyu had already successfully formed a Spiritual Talisman, right before taking part in this garden outing.

The information the clan elders received should be reliable, but Fu Xuan Ge didn’t dare bring it up; this was likely an internal secret of the Hou Family—how the Fu Family came to know about it was...

So the fact that Hou Baiyu actually took the initiative to speak to this Child of Qingyu really gave Fu Xuan Ge quite a shock, and he couldn’t help giving Luo Yirui a few more looks.

Luo Yirui nodded. "I’m Qingyu’s child."

Hou Baiyu paused, his gaze on Luo Yirui becoming much more serious.

"Child of Qingyu" and "Qingyu’s child" might be the same in literal meaning, but the connotations people gave them were different.

"Child of Qingyu" always carried a sense of being above others, whereas "Qingyu’s child" was something else entirely; that answer was very clever and humble, and Hou Baiyu could hear that his feelings for Qingyu ran deep.

"I heard you can form a Spiritual Talisman?" Hou Baiyu asked.

Luo Yirui’s heart skipped a beat; he forced down the tension in his chest and didn’t let a trace of it show on his face, saying, "That’s what I’m hoping for."

Hou Baiyu fixed his gaze on Luo Yirui’s face, and Luo Yirui gave a slight smile.
