Chapter 238 - Bai Rouyun Showing Weakness

Qin Huiling did not understand the complex emotions that were swirling within Bai Rouyun’s mind, but she could sense a profound sadness emitting from within.

She had always seen her good friend as being omnipotent, but now she felt that even a strong and magnificent person like Bai Rouyun had moments where she showed her weakness.

This weakness did not make Qin Huiling dislike her. Instead, it made her heart ache, and made her feel a strange sensation of distress.

Just how much disappointment and sadness had this young woman gone through to become so powerful at such a young age? If she had grown up in a loving family, she would have been treated as a young princess with no need to make herself that outstanding, but life had been unfair, and she clearly needed to rely on herself for everything.

Previously, Li Moyun had been by her side to spoil her, and let her experience being pampered, but he had left.

Qin Huiling was not aware of where he had gone, but she knew that something had happened which needed him to depart for some time, and the girly version of Bai Rouyun had seemingly left alongside him.

It did not take long before Bai Rouyun slowly felt better, and she left Qin Huiling’s embrace. Her face held a slight smile, and her eyes were glistening with relief.

"Thankfully, nothing happened to you."

The gratitude and happiness within Bai Rouyun’s voice were enough to make Qin Huiling’s eyes sore, and she could feel the sincere emotions that were contained within this sentence.

Although this young woman did not often put her emotions into words, Qin Huiling had always known that they were friends. However, now that she could hear the severity of her relief, she understood that this young woman truly cared deeply about her. To Bai Rouyun, she was not a simple friend, but a very important and special companion.

Mo Chu, who had been following closely behind Qin Huiling after her rescue, did not rush to Bai Rouyun’s side upon seeing her sudden dependence on her friend.

He stayed at a safe distance while vigilantly keeping an eye on the surroundings to ensure that no one was going to take advantage of Bai Rouyun’s moment of weakness to harm her.

Even the members of the Eternal Shadow Palace hiding in the shadows could feel the sudden sense of loss that swept over their new mistress, but none of them thought that she was less worthy of her position due to this sudden display of emotions.

The experts who had managed to become the elite were all those who had gone through many difficulties to reach their current position. They had suffered from numerous disappointments, and even those who were supposed to look after them the most had often let them down so many times that they dared not hold any hope of them in the future.

Seeing Bai Rouyun like this, they understood that she was not that different from them. Even if her heritage was supposed to be much richer than theirs, she might even have experienced more grief, as those who were supposed to care for her completely ignored her, even though they clearly had the resources to grant her a peaceful life.

"Little Chu, you are responsible for bringing Huiling back home. Let her rest and sort out her emotions. If she feels uncomfortable, you are not allowed to leave her, and even if she asks you to leave, you have to stay close by, so that if she feels uncomfortable, then she can call for you, and you’ll be there to give her a sense of security right away."

Bai Rouyun was aware that Qin Huiling was currently full of adrenaline. The reason she could maintain her positive mindset was due to the thrill of the whole situation, but as soon as she was alone, it was likely that negative emotions would invade her mind.

She also understood the budding feelings between her two friends, and she did not mind giving this opportunity to her acknowledged older brother. If she was present every time the two were together, their relationship would never progress.

"What about you?"

Although Mo Chu wished to stay with Qin Huiling and protect her, he could sense that Bai Rouyun had also been hit hard by the sudden event. He did not feel secure to leave her on her own, so he hoped that they would all return home together.

Even so, Bai Rouyun just smiled as she shook her head. "I will take one of the other members to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. I need to see if there has been anyone interested in trading for the things I need."

Bai Rouyun was getting extremely frustrated. She understood that certain things could not be rushed, but the inability to use her Qi was starting to cause her great annoyance.

While it was true that she could depend on the experts from the Eternal Shadow Palace, she was unwilling to become a person who would have to be protected at any step. Also, she was eager to see her husband again, so she needed to enhance her body’s abilities.

"Let me take over the task of protecting Miss Bai while you are busy."

A tender voice sounded in the shadows, and all three turned their heads to see a young boy who seemed to be very similar to Bai Rouyun in age.

It was clear that he had been the one to speak, and while his face was somewhat red from embarrassment, there was a determination within his eyes that made Bai Rouyun take a second glance.

This young man looked at her with reverence but without ambiguity. It was purely the gaze of someone who admired her, and who wished to be useful to her. Such a gaze was completely foreign to her.
