I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 730: Chapter 738: I’m Afraid of the What Ifs

Han Feng had heard the name Xingxing over and over. He had met Xu Yan, who could be extremely hard on himself, but never had he met someone so harsh on himself as he had just done.

He had pretended to be a fool in order to gain trust and then met a girl who really treated him well. If his background hadn’t been so complicated, perhaps he would have considered himself a good match for his sister, but unfortunately, his background was that complicated.

“But, you can’t like him. He’s too complicated. All his tenderness is given to you, but his background is too complicated, too full of tricks and schemes. I won’t agree to it.”

Xu Yan was really worried. His sister was still so young, and yet there were already people eyeing her, which was not good, not good at all.

Xu Yan felt a tightness in his chest. It had been hard enough finding his sister in this strange world, only to find others coveting her.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

“Brother…”

Bai Zhi looked at Xu Yan, thought about what to say for a while, but just didn’t know how to express it.

“If you don’t know how to say it, then don’t say it. You’re naturally slow, and besides, I’ve said that once you leave this place, I won’t acknowledge these words.”

Moreover… Xu Yan fell into a long silence.

“Moreover, meeting Bai Fei was really just part of a scheme. I just didn’t expect to find you.”

Scheming against Bai Fei was his mission. In fact, many times he had nearly forgotten what his original intention was.

“If I hadn’t found you, I would probably have become a joke by now.”

Xu Yan was somewhat helpless, looking at the teacup in front of him, not knowing what to say.

“What do you mean?” Bai Zhi didn’t quite understand, her eyes were tearfully red and looked kind of funny.

“It’s like I would become the boss of that…,” Xu Yan began to explain.

With that said, Bai Zhi remembered—it was about becoming the boss if the mission wasn’t concluded.

Bai Zhi burst out laughing with tears falling down her face, crying and laughing at the same time.

“Brother…”

Xu Yan looked at her fondly, the gleam returning to his eyes. At first, he had done everything he could to succeed and to avoid being bullied, and then he had found something to believe in.

But he had been pretending for too long, almost forgetting his initial purpose. Now, having found his sister, he felt pulled back from the darkness.

Life at the top was dull and boring, he didn’t even know what it was for, but now he could tell himself it was for his sister, for this country…

“Brother, I don’t know what to say, it’s just that I really, really… don’t know how to trust people. My own father stuck needles in my body, kidnapped me to draw my blood, nearly killing me. And my own mother drugged me, just because I messed up her plans.

My cousin blames me because of you. I don’t know what I did wrong, why people don’t seem to like me.

I want to tell you, but I’m too scared to get close, I don’t know how to face you. Will it just be another hurt?

Am I very selfish? How can I not trust you?”

They had agreed to walk together for a lifetime, to always be family to each other, never to leave each other behind.

Even if they married and had children, the moment they looked back, there was home – an entirely different concept.

Family means that no matter when, during times of confusion and bewilderment, there will always be a steaming bowl of food and a dessert after dinner.

In the end, talking about it would make one feel much better.

“I am human too, I have a heart. Why am I always the one who gets hurt, who gets abandoned?

I feel wronged, sad, and upset. Why should I always have to forgive? I don’t like being magnanimous, I don’t like giving, can’t I just be on my own?”

Bai Zhi grew sadder as she spoke, ending up blurting out all sorts of trivial matters.

“And am I not good to Han Feng, who has plotted against me…”

“And you, I don’t like bitter melon but you insist on me eating it. It’s so bitter, why don’t you eat it yourself?”

By the end, Bai Zhi was complaining about Xu Yan, from the clothes he wore to his hairstyle, criticizing everything, finally feeling cheerful.

“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault, you did nothing wrong. Go get some sleep; I have to leave.”

Xu Yan checked the time. It was almost time for him to leave. He also had to give a reminder regarding this place.

“I went up the mountain to confirm the terrain here, so someone will definitely come here in a few days. Xingxing, you have to be careful.”

He confirmed that specific people would come to check “whether there’s a Formation here, or tombs. So you… better prepare early.”

Bai Zhi’s eyes were as swollen as walnuts, her face a mess of snot and tears, utterly void of any image.

“No need to prepare anything; there’s nothing here.” Bai Zhi was very confident in this.

Their Ancestor had said that only they could find that place, even Moh Li couldn’t.

The last time they trained, they only went as far as Big Tree. Neither Bai Xiang nor Wu Wa could find it.

So Bai Zhi wasn’t worried at all about someone coming. “Actually, it would be better if they did come, saw nothing, and gave up.”

“Not necessarily. That person once followed the respected Mr. Bai of the Bai Family into battle, so he vaguely knows some things and definitely won’t give up easily.”

Xu Yan shook his head. “Although it’s said we shouldn’t be superstitious, sometimes we have to believe in what the Ancestors left behind.”

Bai Zhi rubbed her swollen red eyes, “Then I understand.”

“Brother, wait for me.”

Bai Zhi went back to her room and pulled out a suitcase. “Everything in here is medicine; I’ve written down their effects for you to use.”

Xu Yan immediately opened it and saw. Weren’t these for the military?

“How do you have this, sister? Did you make these?”

He was somewhat incredulous. The person they had been looking for so long turned out to be his sister.

“Yes, you know about my talent for seasonings, and for herbs as well. My mentor is Old Han, also known as the Miracle Doctor Hann who is currently on the front line.”

Of course, it was the Ancestor who ultimately taught her – numerous secrets of the Bai Family, especially ones only the Guardian could concoct. Her medicines were the most effective.

These were the best medicines she had produced over the past two years.

“I can’t take this.”

Xu Yan immediately refused. Precisely because he knew it was made by his sister, he couldn’t accept it.

“Let me tell you, that combination, it’s divided into several factions, and I myself represent three factions. Giving you this is too dangerous for you. I absolutely can’t take it.”

Where he came from, how he obtained it, it would all be a problem.

“Don’t worry, Han Feng will prepare the same thing for me. You don’t need to worry.”

Each side had its own people; he belonged to the mentor’s people. He was on two sides, so he couldn’t take it.

“If it’s the same, then what are you afraid of?”

Bai Zhi spoke somewhat urgently; surely it was best to take all precautions.

“I’m afraid of the ’what ifs.’”
