Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 98 - Qin Huiling

The girl was ecstatic, but she was also slightly embarrassed.

"Is this Little Chu your lover?" She asked gently, but Bai Rouyun just grinned. "No," she said. "He is the subordinate of my husband."

The woman was shocked. Although it was normal for women to marry early, those who wanted to enter the cultivation world would usually not marry before they had reached as far as they could.

Cultivators were much stronger than ordinary mortals. They had a longer lifespan, and their appearance stayed youthful much longer than ordinary mortals, so as such, they did not rush to get married. How could this woman, who seemed to be willing to enter the cultivation world, possibly accept a marriage at such an age?

Only one reason was in the young woman’s mind, and that was that the two of them had to love each other dearly.

If not, because they loved each other, they would never have gotten married. She suddenly felt great respect towards Bai Rouyun.

Bai Rouyun was so kind and amiable, she even took pity on her, an average person who had no place to stay.

Without knowing that her bad habit of picking up people randomly had caused her to get a small fan, Bai Rouyun was in a brilliant mood as she went back to the courtyard.

"What is your name?" She asked the girl, who was following by her side, and the slightly timid girl answered honestly, and with big doe-like eyes. "I am Qin Huiling."

"Huiling. What a beautiful name," Bai Rouyun praised, smiling at the slightly careful person in front of her. The undisguised praise and the beautiful face made Qin Huiling blush crimson. She had never seen such a mature and beautiful woman before, and she could not help but feel that she was indeed amongst the most respected people in the world.

When looking at the cultivation base, Qin Huiling was actually stronger than Bai Rouyun. When looking at their age, Bai Rouyun was also younger.

But although she was younger and weaker, she had an aura around her that shocked Qin Huiling, and for some reason, she could not see her as any other cultivator. She revered her, and a strange feeling of complete trust appeared in her heart.

This woman had a strange aura to her that made someone want to get closer to her and to get to know her. She was warm and gentle, friendly, and soft.

But Qin Huiling was unaware of her real personality, all she saw was one side to her, which was friendly, and that was mainly because of her bad habit of picking up people.

She had picked up a set of adorable children to call her own, and she had also picked up numerous orphans whom she wanted to groom.

Now she even started picking up students at the Blue Water Institute. Little Chu’s eyes widened when he saw that his Mistress had come back home with another student in tow, and it was such an adorable little girl. Had she kidnapped her?!

Bai Rouyun only needed to glance once at Mo Chu to understand his thoughts, and her face darkened slightly.

"This is Qin Huiling," she said, slightly displeased. Did she look like someone who would kidnap people? Well, she had kidnapped Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin, but they were the only ones. "She had nowhere to stay the night, and we have plenty of spare rooms," Bai Rouyun continued.

Little Chu somewhat understood the situation and coughed embarrassedly. So his Mistress had not kidnapped the girl but offered her shelter. That was quite different.

Fortunately, Qin Huiling was too focused on the surroundings to notice the strange interactions between Bai Rouyun and Mo Chu.

"This place is amazing," she said with renewed respect in her voice. She knew that the prices in Canglan City had risen drastically because of the Blue Water Institute’s enrollment time.

Even an ordinary house would be costly, not to mention a courtyard like this one. Was Bai Rouyun perhaps a person with a hidden past? Or was her husband a wealthy tycoon?

She had managed to get an invitation letter to the Blue Water Institue, and they had the money to buy a courtyard house like this. Clearly, her background was not as simple as Qin Huiling had initially thought, but she did not mind.

Bai Rouyun was very gentle to her, and she felt grateful from the bottom of her heart. Without Bai Rouyun, she was really not sure what she should have done this night.

Bai Rouyun looked at Little Chu and waved him over. "Can you ask the chef to prepare some food for us?" she asked and Little Chu nodded his head. He was quite puzzled as to why Bai Rouyun was suddenly so friendly and gentle towards a random girl.

However, he knew better than to ask. IF he asked, then Bai Rouyun would just mock him for lacking intelligence, and honestly, it was not his position to tell her who to befriend.

All he could do was protect his Mistress and report to his master about her whereabouts and current lifestyle.

Little Chu excused himself and walked towards the kitchens to get some food for the two of them, and the moment he left, Qin Huiling finally took a deep breath of relief.

"You said that he was the subordinate of your Husband?" she asked, shocked, and Bai Rouyun nodded her head casually, causing Qin Huiling to be scared.

This Little Chu had caused her to feel as if she would die at any moment at his hands. His strength and aura was so strong that she could not even begin to guess his real strength, but he was merely a subordinate? This Bai Rouyun had married a real monster!
