BXBX NOVEL Chapter 94 Xu Xue Ning’s Question
After deciding to borrow some money from Long Xu In as capital in order to gamble at a casino on Dong Hai Island, Bai Chen put the necklace of fortune into the dimension ring.
There was no need for him to wear it now since he did not need any fortune at the moment. Thus, he did not wear the necklace. Then, he prepared to go down to join his parents for dinner.
It was now around 5 in the evening. He guessed his mom was preparing food.
However, the iPhone 7 that he had placed at the head of his bed started ringing before he could leave the room.
Bai Chen got up from his bed to see who was calling. Once he saw that it was Xu Xue Ning’s number, he picked up immediately.
He knew it was her number because he had already saved it on his phone.
There were at present only three numbers saved on his phone, including Xu Xue Ning’s. The other two were Long Xu In’s and Qian Bei’s.
“Hello. Who is this?”
A woman’s sweet voice sounded through the speaker after Bai Chen picked up the call and put the phone next to his ear.
“Hi, it’s… uh… me,” Bai Chen said hurriedly. His words sounded somewhat hesitant. He did not know which kind of words to use with her. But, in the end, he decided to use the language of the cultivators’ realm.
“E… Elder, is that you?!?”
Xu Xue Ning’s tone which was calm at first had turned into an alarmed tone. She had to hold her breath. She did not expect that the call she had missed would be from his number.
“Yes, it’s me. Didn’t I tell you I would call you after I bought a phone?”
Bai Chen spoke in a rather normal tone.
Xu Xue Ning went quiet for a while before speaking. “Thank you, Elder, for keeping your word. This must be your number, right?”
“That’s correct,” Bai Chen replied.
“I’m at home.” Bai Chen did not hide anything. He told her the truth.
Xu Xue Ning felt quite excited to be talking to him, a person that she thought was a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator. She thought a little about what to say next.
But while she was thinking, Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien’s story came to mind. She could not help blurting it out.
“Elder, you met with a couple named Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien today, right?”
“How did you know?” Bai Chen’s brows furrowed. He was very surprised that Xu Xue Ning knew about this.
“Or did Xu In tell you?”
“No, sir. I just happen to know those two,” Xu Xue Ning explained while she thought to herself about whether or not she should tell him about Tang Zi Cheng preparing to send his people to come to get the vaccine from him by force.
But after some thought, she decided not to. In any case, she had already warned Tang Zi Cheng.
If the other party refused to listen, she could not help if the Tang family was destroyed!
It was clear that in her opinion, even one of the five biggest families of Beijing could not withstand the anger of a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator!
“Oh, that is how it is. Is there anything else you wanted to say?” Bai Chen nodded and asked. Because he was waiting to hang up and go eat what his mom had prepared.
In fact, he did not have much to say to Xu Xue Ning. He had only called her because she asked him to.
Even though she was as beautiful as an angel and the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, he did not feel anything special towards her. Because there was already a lovely young lady like Li Lin in his heart. And he also did not think that he deserved to be with a woman like her.
She was so beautiful, she was completely out of his reach in his opinion. It was obvious that he was still very aware of who he was and his own position.
Hearing his words, Xu Xue Ning went silent for a while before speaking further.
“I will not bother you any longer, Elder. But, if you don’t mind, there is one thing I want to ask.”
“Ask away. I will answer if I can,” Bai Chen said, wondering what she was going to ask him.
“Did you use a transformation technique to turn into an 18-year-old boy to chase after Xu In?”
As soon as he heard her question, Bai Chen almost choked on his own breath and nearly tripped and fell to the floor.
Because he never thought he would hear this kind of question from Xu Xue Ning. And it was what had given him such a headache yesterday.
It was true that she had not asked him yesterday, but she had just now. And he still did not know what answer to give her.
He took a deep breath before trying to come up with a good answer.
A minute went by, but he still could not manage to find one.
Xu Xue Ning was quiet. She did not say anything. She was only waiting for his answer.
‘This answer might do.’
Finally, Bai Chen seemed to have come up with an answer. No, it was not that he had come up with it. This was because his answer was just to admit it to her without thinking of any excuses, even though it was not the truth.
“Yes, you have understood correctly,” Bai Chen said aloud eventually.
Xu Xue Ning almost dropped her phone. Her calm face changed a little, though the answer had already been what she expected.
But hearing him admit it, it was normal for her to feel shocked. She went quiet for a long while before taking a deep breath and speaking.
“Thank you, elder, for replying truthfully. But Xu In is like my little sister. I hope you truly love her and are not fooling her.”
“Of course…” Bai Chen said in a quiet voice.
He smiled wryly. He admitted it not because he liked Long Xu In and was pursuing her, but because he could not find a better answer.
“If so, I am relieved,” Xu Xue Ning said before asking to hang up.
Bai Chen had nothing else to say to her. Thus, he could only tell her to go ahead.
After they hung up, Bai Chen let out a sigh. “I hope she won’t tell Xu In about this.”
Bai Chen said this to himself while shaking his head. He was afraid that Xu Xue Ning would inform Long Xu In of what he had admitted and that would cause a misunderstanding.
That was the last thing that he wanted. He let out a sigh again and put his phone back to where it had been before leaving the room.
He went down to the first floor of the house and saw that his dad was already at the table.
“Little Chen,” his dad called out once he saw him.
“Come sit down. Mom is still cooking.”
“Yes, dad.” Bai Chen nodded and went to sit down.
Bai Chang looked at his son before speaking in a somewhat strict tone.
“Be careful when you go places these days. Many people were murdered near the entrance of our business district.”
Bai Chen understood his dad’s worries. He nodded obediently.
But in his heart, he knew full well that the person who had murdered those people was him, something which he surely could not tell his dad. And that included his mom and other people too.
