"Give up, she won't be your disciple. Even if she is willing, I absolutely won't allow it!" At this time, Long Yan, who seemed to have fallen asleep, suddenly stood up. She stared at Bai Ling with a burning gaze and angrily refused.
He didn't know when he woke up, but from the looks of it, he seemed to be disgusted by Bai Ling's actions.
"Long Yan …" Bai Ling was slightly surprised to see Long Yan so envious of her.
"Go! She's pregnant right now and needs more rest, so you'd better not think about it! " Long Yan's tone was particularly tough and there was no room for negotiation.
"Pregnant? "Are you really pregnant?" When she heard the news, Bai Ling was slightly surprised. She thought that the rumors were fake, but it turned out to be true. If they really were pregnant, it would be difficult to deal with.
"Even if she wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't agree to your request. So, you better give up. Otherwise, I won't forgive you, even if I can't beat you right now!" Long Yan stood in front of Bai Ling, afraid that he would harm Bu Jinghua.
"It's up to her, not you. You should understand!" This was a rare opportunity that he did not want to miss, because he did not have much time left. After all these years, he had been waiting for this day for a very long time, how could he let it slip by so easily. Bu Jinghua's hesitation really gave him hope, and he also understood that if Bu Jinghua decided to do something, even Long Yan would not be able to stop him.
"Are you going to agree or not? As long as you nod your head, I can release all the members of the Bu Family tonight!" Bai Ling tried again.
"I'm sorry, I already have a teacher, so please go back!" The conflict was only temporary. She had to save her two uncles, but she couldn't go against the morals of the Bee Dragon and end up under Bai Ling's tutelage. Furthermore, she clearly knew that Bee Dragon was the only teacher she could trust in, whether it was in terms of ability or character.
He knew that Bu Jinghua's main goal was to save his two uncles and solve the crisis of the Bu Family. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he did not expect this girl to think about him at this moment. How could he not be moved? This girl always had a way to move it to the point that it wanted to cry!
"You …" Bu Jinghua's answer was beyond Bai Ling's expectations. She thought that she would definitely agree to it. She never expected that this little girl really couldn't be treated with common sense.
"A teacher?" No wonder? "Exactly who is that expert? Can you introduce him?" He knew that with Bu Jinghua's ability, it was impossible for him to escape. He did not expect that there was a teacher backing Bu Jinghua up, and from the perspective of his disciple, he could imagine that his teacher's ability was not just mediocre.
Not only was Bu Jinghua's teacher not a simple person, he even dared to conclude that her teacher was definitely a high-level telekinesis master, probably even higher than Bai Ling.
"I'm sorry, but teacher doesn't like to see new students. Please!" Bu Jinghua's indifferent tone was filled with estrangement. She thought he would give up on Bai Ling just like that, but he was still pestering her. He used an extremely tough attitude to say "please", which made Bu Jinghua extremely impatient.
"But …" Bai Ling wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Long Yan.
"She's already said she's not willing, and you're still not leaving? Do you want me to 'invite' you over personally? " Long Yan's attitude became even more unyielding. It could even be said that he hated Bai Ling. His eyes were bloodthirsty as he stared at Bai Ling.
"Long Yan!" Are you still blaming me for what happened that year? Don't blame me, I have no other choice! " Facing such hatred from Long Yan, Bai Ling's eyes became very sad.
"There's no other way? Hmph, can't I just say there's no way? Hmph, forget it, I don't want to talk about the past anymore, but I definitely won't allow you to hurt her in the same way. " Long Yan's tone was filled with anger.
It seemed that Bai Ling had hurt him before, and the damage was not small.
"But I've already made it up to you …" Judging from Bai Ling's current attitude, he too felt guilty. However, what he hoped for the most was Long Yan's understanding.
"Make up?" "Hmph, that's what you owe me!" Long Yan only gave a snort of contempt towards Bai Ling's explanation, not understanding the slightest bit.
"True …" I owe you that! "I'm sorry!" Bai Ling lowered her head sadly. She no longer looked cold and heartless, but was instead confessing as if she had done something wrong, "However, I must do this. This is the only thing I can do! "I …" He still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Long Yan.
"Alright, we have no interest in knowing about your matters. Now, please leave this place immediately. We do not welcome you!" "Please!" Long Yan made an exceptionally forceful gesture to chase him away.
"I can leave, but I will come back. I hope you can agree to my request." Bai Ling looked at Bu Jinghua, then turned to Long Yan and said, "Also, she's different from you. She's already able to condense her psychokinesis, so she's basically not in danger from before!" After he finished speaking, he saw the candle shadows dim for a moment, and then he disappeared.
"Hua'er, don't listen to him. I don't want to see you and your baby in trouble!" After Bai Ling left, Long Yan looked at Bu Jinghua worriedly and begged.
"Don't worry, I won't pay any attention to him. It's just you …" Long Yan's reaction just now was a bit too much. Just thinking about the possibility of Long Yan being injured made Bu Jinghua's heart slightly ache.
"It's nothing. I just heard his words and almost became a real fool …" Long Yan said indifferently, but his expression was one of fear and sorrow. He glanced at the worried Bu Jinghua and cheerfully smiled, "It's really nothing. Look, aren't I just fine here?" Actually, it was because of that incident that Bai Ling had saved him many times and even gave him some high-grade cultivation manuals to make up for it. That was why he was able to live to this day and achieve his current achievements.
In fact, he had already forgiven Bai Ling in his heart. It was just that now, Bai Ling was actually plotting against Bu Jinghua. That was simply unforgivable.
"…" Staring silently at the seemingly endless grief of Long Yan, Bu Jinghua felt waves of heartache assaulting him again and again. Just how much pain did this man have to endure?
However, no matter what, since she had already recognized him, she definitely wouldn't let him continue to receive any more harm. Bu Jinghua secretly made this decision in his heart.
That night, Bu Jinghua and Long Yan did not sleep anymore. They quietly stayed in the room and watched over each other for the whole night. As the sun had just risen, after the two of them had breakfast, Long Yan interrupted and sent Bu Jinghua back to the Bu Family.
However, things were not as simple as the two of them had thought. They hadn't expected the empress to take action so quickly.
"The empress has arrived!" Just as Bu Jinghua was about to board the carriage, the empress's sedan stopped his carriage and opened the curtain. The empress walked out.
"Yan'er, Hua'er, where are you guys going?" Why does it look like he's about to travel? " The empress's voice was filled with concern, but Bu Jinghua and Long Yan were well aware of the empress's thoughts. This time, since she was in such a hurry, it definitely would not be a good thing.
"Greetings, Imperial Mother!" Even though he was very dissatisfied with the empress, he still had to be "apart from his subjects" in front of outsiders, so as not to let others spare him his breath, Long Yan held onto Bu Jinghua as they paid their respects.
"Alright, alright!" The empress immediately went over to help her up. "All pregnant women need is a good rest. We can forget about bowing in the future. Hurry up and get up!"
"Right, you guys …" Where are you going? " The Queen pointed to the carriage and said.
"After I return to my mother's house, I want to take Hua'er with me to my parents' home!" Why did the empress have to arrive at this time? Someone must have reported it.
"Oh? The Bu Clan? "I'm afraid this isn't too good. Hua'er's body is not stable yet. It's not good to be tired from running around like this!" Queen asked worriedly.
"Thank you for the empress's concern. However, the Bu Family isn't far from here, so I won't feel tired!" Bu Jinghua lightly replied.
"This... That's true! "However, you still need nutrition the most right now. Although the Bu Clan is rich, their environment still isn't as good as the Imperial Palace's, how about this, Hua'er, you just follow your mother back to the Imperial Palace and have your mother take care of you properly, then you'll be able to raise your baby peacefully. Yan'er, what do you think?" The Queen lovingly smiled, but the meaning behind her smile was only known to Long Yan as hypocritical.
"Yan'er thinks this isn't appropriate!" The empress's suggestion was immediately rejected by Long Yan, "Imperial Mother, you have to manage the entire harem. This is already a very tiring matter, if you still have time to take care of Hua'er … Yan'er does not dare to trouble the Queen Mother, so, Hua'er should leave it to Yan'er to take care of it! " What was this old demoness trying to do? Long Yan stared at the Queen defensively.
"Taking care of your daughter-in-law is a matter of course. What is there to be tired of? Even if it's tiring, I would still like to. And you, as a man, know what happens to women. The queen's reasons were plentiful enough that no one could refute her.
According to Bu Jinghua's meaning, other than the fact that the Bu family was truly treating her well, everyone else had their own ulterior motives. However, the empress in front of him was not his biological mother, and he was very clear about her intentions. Could it be that she wanted to imprison Bu Jinghua in the palace so that he could control her?
But on what grounds should he refuse?
"Alright, it's a deal then. Come to Hua'er, mother has stewed some tonics for you. Let's go in. Once we're done eating, mother will bring you to the palace!" The empress waved her hand, and the palace maid who'd come with her with a cup of soup immediately walked over to stand by her side.
The empress was about to grab Bu Jinghua's hand, but he cleverly dodged her hand.
"Muhou, please forgive my boldness, I don't want to enter the palace. I'm not used to living in the palace, I just want to stay here!" Bu Jinghua made his intentions clear. His protest against the empress really did not give him face, which made her feel slightly angry.
"If you're not used to it then you should enter the palace earlier. When the child is born, it will be your grandson, and the palace will be his place to live. So, you should prepare for the child earlier! "Alright, it's decided then!" There was no doubt in the empress's words. Even if Bu Jinghua was unwilling, it would be useless. She worriedly looked at Long Yan, only to see that Long Yan was also worriedly looking at her.
Damn it, can't they even have freedom? Should the weak be so bullied? Damn it! Walking beside the empress, Bu Jinghua's hand hidden in his sleeve slightly clenched, and his fist tightened.
Very quickly, Bu Jinghua was brought into the palace by the empress. In reality, it was a pregnancy, but in reality, it was a house arrest. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that.
Once Bu Jinghua was taken away, Long Yan came to the Bu Family to see Bu Batian and explained everything to him in detail.
"Damn it!" Hearing that his granddaughter had been placed under house arrest, Bu Batian couldn't help but feel infuriated. He was very happy to hear that his grandson-in-law wasn't a fool, but he didn't expect that he would attract even more trouble.
"Grandfather, it's my fault …" Long Yan also blamed himself very much for this.
"Yan'er, don't blame yourself. Actually, I know that this has nothing to do with you …" Alas, why does Hua'er always suffer so much? " Bu Batian let out a deep sigh.
"Mr Silver Mask, Hua can only trouble you now!" Bu Batian said to the silver-masked man who was sitting beside him.
"Don't worry, Master Bu. I will protect her well!" Silver Face nodded in agreement.
"Reporting, Third Prince wishes to meet you outside!" They said that they are here to look for the fourth prince! " At this moment, the butler ran in to report.
"Third Prince Long Yun? What is he doing? " Bu Batian looked at Long Yan and saw that he also had a puzzled expression.
Although Long Yi and him were not at odds, but their friendship was still ordinary. The first time they came into contact was when they were fighting the Purple Rock Snake in the Ghost Valley Mountain, why did this guy come looking for him? And here? It must be urgent.
"Please come in!" Very quickly, Long Yun was brought in. When he saw that Long Yan was really here, his face immediately lit up with joy. He slightly bowed to Bu Batian and said, "I asked who sent those men to assassinate Bu Jinghua!"
"Who is it?" Hearing Long Yun's words, not only Long Yan, but even Bu Batian was filled with hatred for the mastermind. He had even sent assassins with concealment techniques over and over again. It seemed like he wanted to kill someone. Damn it.
"That old guy Gongsheng!" Long Yun said angrily. It seemed like he did not have a good impression of this man.
"It really is him!" In fact, among those who had conflicts with Bu Jinghua, the one with the most courage was the one who won the most. He did not expect Bu Jinghua to actually send people to assassinate the "royal family".
I originally wanted to tell royal father about this matter, but royal father was too busy to meet me, and you also knew about the empress. She and Gongsheng are very close, I don't think she will do it impartially! Long Yun said angrily.
"Hmph, even if you say so, it will be useless. Isn't there no evidence? Unless the black clothed man testifies! " Long Yan coldly smiled. He didn't think that by telling the dragon shield, he would be punished.
"This, the man in black died after revealing the winner. Sorry, my punishment was too severe, but don't blame me. That man in black was too stubborn. If not, I wouldn't have been able to ask!" Long Yun smiled shyly. It seemed that he was just a youth that had yet to enter the world.
"Black clothed people with concealment techniques, these people do not belong to the Dragon Cliff Country. If I'm not wrong, these black clothed people should be members of some despicable assassin's organization in Jin Ling Country!" Silver Face, who was sitting by the side, slightly muttered to himself.
"Jin Ling Country?" This foreign country's name surprised the three people present.
"Yes, Jinling. The majority of people in this country can condense psychokinesis, and those who can't do so must leave when they are 16 years old. Those who can condense psychokinesis can be divided into different levels, with the Spirit Master being the highest, and the illusion master being the second. There aren't many people in this country and it's only a few tens of thousands of people. However, in the Black Tortoise Continent, they have an extremely high status and not many would dare to offend them because everyone is very clear about the power of a Spirit Master … " When it came to this Jin Ling Kingdom, even Silver Face, who was at the ninth stage of internal force, felt that he was out of reach.
"Heh, I never thought that there would be such a monstrous large country in the Black Tortoise Continent, an Illusion Master …" The Spirit Master... Heavens, I thought there was only Bai Ling, an illusionist in this world. Who would have thought that everyone in Jin Ling Country has one, and there's even a Spirit Master … Too monstrous! " When Long Yun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing Silver Face say this, he felt more and more insignificant. After meeting Bu Jinghua, he already admitted that he was ordinary. He didn't expect that right now, he felt that he was nothing more than ordinary. He didn't dare to show off his arrogance in the past.
"I never thought that Gongsheng would hire these men in black to do things for me. Could it be that they are really plotting something!" Bu Batian had heard of the history of Jin'ling Country, but he didn't know that those men in black were actually from Jin'ling Country. And yet, Gong Sheng was even bolder. Colluded with outsiders?
"Humph, he has been plotting against us for a long time now. It's just that his arrogance has increased a little!" Long Yan smiled faintly. His expression did not seem to care at all. If this was a win-win situation, then he was more concerned about the damage that this win-win would cause to Bu Jinghua.
That damnable Gong Ying actually sent out such a powerful assassin. The first time, if it wasn't for Li You, the second time, if it wasn't for the silver mask, Bu Jinghua would have already … Damn it, once he thought that Bu Jinghua would die because of this, Long Yan became furious.
"Hmm, in my opinion, that Bai Ling is from Jin'ling Country!" The silver-masked voice once again revealed a shocking piece of news.
Haargh!" Bai Ling is from the Jin'ling Country? Did the dragon shield know? Doesn't that mean that Bai Ling was plotting something? Or could the dragon shield be under his control? But it seemed impossible, because Bai Ling still listened to the dragon shield's command.
This fact confused everyone more and more. What was the relationship between the Dragon Cliff Country and the Jin'ling Country?
The few of them looked at each other in dismay.
