Chapter 771: 14.47 Last Violet Star – (Past) First Meeting in the Mortal Realm.

It took a few hours before all the victims returned to normal. Those whose limbs and body parts had returned all kowtowed at Bai Wuan. They knew that the pills they ate were all made by this extremely beautiful man. The ladies were also very thankful to him. After all, they’ve heard Bai Wuan’s promise to help them restore their confidence and sealed up a part of that past that tortured their minds.

After the case was closed, Yun Huaxia called for reinforcement. They’ve asked for female disciples to escort the victims back to their families. They’ve especially called for female disciples which were rarely seen in the territory of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayan Sect.

The female disciples of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayan Sect are quite famous. They are well known for their elegance and most male cultivators consider them the best candidate for Dao companions.

Yun Huaxia on the other hand noticed that Bai Wuan showed no interest in these female disciples. It can be said he is ignoring others’ presence including his while paying attention only to his younger brother, Yun Xiajie who was also pretending not to care for Bai Wuan. They’ve made a funny pair to watch.

Yun Huaxia spoke, “This must have been the first time you had seen the female disciples of our (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayan Sect. What do you think, Junior Brother Bai?”

When Yun Huaxia asked this question the group of female disciples in white robes had all perked their ears to listen. Their first impression of Bai Wuan is very good. Adding up his high-quality face and unapproachable demeanor, a lot of them were interested in him and even fell at first sight.

“Hm? Nothing much. I had no interest in strangers regardless of gender. I only like people who are not much older than me and have enough strength to contend with mine. One who would only have me in his eyes~” said Bai Wuan.

.....

Yun Xiajie, who was secretly listening, sneaked a peek at him only for their eyes to meet, and averted his eyes immediately. Avoiding Bai Wuan’s smiling appearance made his heart uncomfortable. Of course, Yun Huaxia noticed the exchange these two had made in that split moment and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This is the first time he saw his younger brother look at the sky.

Yun Xiajie was already a man with few words. After wronging Bai Wuan a while ago he felt that he had done wrong things towards the latter but as a person who had secluded almost most of his life into cultivation, Yun Xiajie downs know how to act towards Bai Wuan.

Unknown to Yun Xiajie that this reaction of his, made Bai Wuan so interested in him. Bai Wuan had always been the type to tease the person he is interested in or liked.

Cough!

“What would Junior Brother Bai do next?” asked the eldest of the Yun Brothers.

Yun Huaxia covered his younger brother and smiled at Bai Wuan. Seeing this Bai Wuan pouted for a moment before grinning as if he remembered something about Yun Huaxia.

Bai Wuan smirked as he gave Yun Huaxia a meaningful smile.

“Go back to the inn and find my siblings. But we should be seeing each other again soon. Right? One of my younger brother’s blind date candidates, Senior Brother Yun~” said Bai Wuan.

Reminded about his blind date with the next heir of the (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect, Bai Qiyin. Yun Huaxia panicked for a while. He had been the one who asked his father to let him be included in Bai Qiyin’s blind date proposal. Most of Bai Qiyin’s carefully selected blind dates were chosen from the same generation as him.

Yun Huaxia said, “Ah... Please don’t say something bad about me to Qiqi!”

“Eh~ what should I do?~, right? What should I do?~~ Heh!” said Bai Wuan.

But Yun Huaxia had fallen at first sight with Bai Qiyin in the last Alliance Exchange in the territory of the (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect. After seeing Bai Qiyin, Yun Huaxia immediately falls for him. It can be considered that before Bai Wuan joined the Sect, it was Yun Huaxia who had played a lot with Bai Qiyin. In short, they are childhood friends of different generations.

As soon as Yun Huaxia started his training as the heir of his own sect, his visits to the (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect diminished greatly. Children have short spam memories. If they didn’t see someone for a long time they would forget about him or her. And thus, Yun Huaxia was forgotten by the baby Bai Qiyin adding the fact that Bai Wuan suddenly joined their Sect. Yun Huaxia’s shadow in Bai Qiyin’s heart was replaced by Bai Wuan. He becomes Qiyin’s big brother instead of Yun Huaxia who used to be one.

This is the reason why Yun Huaxia, whose generation is a bit older than Bai Qiyin, was included in his blind date list. Because Yun Huaxia had begged his father to give him a chance to meet Bai Qiyin all this time.

Actually, Mother Bai and Father Bai approved of Yun Huaxia despite the age difference. For cultivators, a decade of age difference doesn’t matter. They live a long lifespan after all. But Bai Wuan didn’t know anything about what happened before he joined the sect and asked Mother Bai. When he heard about this story Bai Wuan didn’t know whether to apologize to Yum Huaxia as he had stolen his position as Bai Qiyin’s brother figure.

Yun Xiajie can only look at his elder brother’s panicking figure in confusion.

Yun Huaxia said, “Hey! Don’t be like this! I really like Qiqi!”

“There is no point in telling this to me though~,” said Bai Wuan as he suddenly grabbed Yun Huaxia’s wrist and pulled him away. “Come with me then!”

“Ah! Wait! I still have my duties to–” said Yun Huaxia.

Bai Wuan said, “Isn’t it just escorting? Leave it to your junior sisters. You come with me and see your crush...”

“W-Wait! Wait!! I’m not ready!” said Yun Huaxia.

Bai Wuan said, “Whatever so long it is fun~ A’Xia, come with us too!”

Yun Xiajie wordlessly nodded his head and followed the two to the largest inn in the city. Yun Huaxia wanted to escape multiple times but the grip on his wrist was too tight. Moreover, even his young brother was helping Bai Wuan watch over him when he asked why his younger brother answered,

“I wanted to see my brother’s chosen dao companion too. Use it as a reference to choose mine,” said Yun Xiajie.

Bai Wuan playfully said, “How about you consider me? We are from the same generation. I at the very least can say I’m interested in it.”

“Jieye, don’t listen to him! You would be influenced badly by this playful person!” said Yun Huaxia.

But he didn’t expect Yun Xiajie to honestly say, “Hm. I will keep that in mind.”

Smiling meaningfully at Yun Xiajie, Bai Wuan said, “Good! Consider me first before the rest okay? Just compare them to me and you will know what your heart would want~”

Ignoring Yun Huaxia’s struggles, Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie carried him away toward the inn. Just outside the inn, Yun Huaxia finally calmed down and made sure to arrange his robes properly multiple times before deciding to go inside with Bai Wuan.

“Okay. My robes aren’t wrinkled. There isn’t any scent of blood. Um! I... I should be okay right?” asked Yun Huaxia.

Tsk!

“You are only here to meet as an acquaintance, not as his blind date. Don’t worry he hasn’t seen your portrait on his blind date. I... I hid it at the last moment.” said Bai Wuan.

Yun Huaxia suddenly grabbed his collar and looked like he was being bullied badly by him.

“You!? You are too much...”

Bai Wuan said, “I made you the finale and the longest time to spend together. He had already met the rest of his blind date candidates and Qiqi despite all of them. Some were even frozen to ice. I had to help unfreeze them under such circumstances. I’m helping you and you think I’m bullying you!”

“Ugh~ s-sorry...” said Yun Huaxia.

Hmp!

Bai Wuan pouted, “I’m not helping anymore!”

“Hey! I already apologize, don’t get mad. Okay... I will tell you something about Jieye...” Yun Huaxia whispered the rest in Bai Wuan’s ears. He sold out his younger brother for the success of his love.

“Deal!!!” said Bai Wuan with a wide smile.

Yun Xiajie said, “Brother! What are you going to tell him!!?”

His elder brother avoided his gaze as he looked so guilty about something. But he only told Bai Wuan about his favorite food and stuff like that. He noticed that Bai Wuan had indeed taken a liking to his younger brother. There is no harm in helping Bai Wuan woo Yun Xiajie. It’s very hard to convince the latter about this kind of thing anyway. Everything would be based on how Bai Wuan would convince his younger brother.

“N-Nothing much. Just your favorite food and stuff like that,” said Yun Huaxia.

Yun Xiajie said, “That’s an invasion of privacy. I’m going back to report instead. Brother should escort the guests for tomorrow’s welcoming ceremony.”

Bai Wuan didn’t stop Yun Xiajie as he knew that his husband’s personality this time was too hard to convince. They had different outlooks on life plus with his original memories and memories as the God of Judgement sealed, if he forcefully made him look at him it would just result in something he couldn’t control.

Yun Huaxia said, “He is leaving, aren’t you going to stop him?”

“No. We’ve just met. Even if I feel fate with him it is never a choice to force him. Plus, we have our own set of duties. Let fate make its own plans...” said Bai Wuan as he only entered the inn after cleansing his robe of blood and the scent of rust.

Usually, he would take his time bathing at the river to fully clean himself but it’s already too late and he is afraid his siblings would worry too much about him.

Bai Wuan said, “Let’s go!”

“After you...” said Yun Huaxia politely.

Meanwhile, Yun Xiajie who decides to return back to the sect alone halted his steps and watched his elder brother, a man who cannot move his eyes away from entering the inn.

Stay outside for a while and watch their backs disappear. He didn’t even notice the flashes of crimson within his golden irises. An uncontrollable desire to possess sprouts in his heart.

Yun Xiajie mumbles, “Who are you? Why do you make my heart ache for you?”

His heart had always been stagnant all his life. He lives a life of boredom as if he had gotten used to seeing and meeting things that couldn’t move his heart. His mind shouts the responsibility of eliminating evil and his righteous nature was amplified because of this. But aside from this, nothing was able to move his heart, which leads to him focusing more on his cultivation instead of meeting people. He enters seclusion more frequently than the other disciples of his sect. Because of this, his strength is only second to his elder brother.

He was alright with that. As Yun Xiajie already believes that no one from the same generation as him would be able to contend with him for strength. That was until he met Bai Wuan tonight. He is obviously a few years younger than him. He looks slender and fragile. As if the slightest touch would destroy him.

But hidden in that thin figure is a strength that matches or is even stronger than what his elder brother possesses. He is not only strong, but he also possesses elegance and a cold nature that attracts his gaze. His silver eyes look around in dazed as if nothing deserved to enter his eyes. He felt thrilled for the first time and his quiet heart started beating fast. A desire to possess spread in him.

‘This person is his... No one is allowed to take him away from him.’

Yun Xiajie mumbles, “You are mine. No one is allowed to covet you.”

“Why do I feel this way?” whispered Yun Xiajie as he held the space above his heart. He walked away and entered the darkness, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Only Bai Wuan noticed him watching and taking his leave after seeing him.

“Even without memories, you can never let me go. Don’t you, A’Xia?” murmured Bai Wuan with a joyous smile coming from his heart. He looks extremely beautiful catching everyone’s attention.

But unfortunately aside from that one man, no one was able to enter his world.
