Chapter 278: 164 Trust (First Update) Chapter 278: 164 Trust (First Update) Bai Ye stared intently at Fang Yuxin’s fingers resting on his wrist, feeling completely overwheld. His eyes were beyond his control, and his mind could not calm down, but felt an unbearable itch instead.
He furrowed his brows fiercely, even more afraid to et Fang Yuxin’s gaze, feeling waves of guilt as if he had wronged her.
Fang Yuxin didn’t look at him but released her Spiritual Sense to carefully inspect his body. During her inspection, she quickly identified the issue. Bai Ye’s talent was very impressive, and he had awakened two superpowers, and had also absorbed many Elental Crystals, which made his talent top-notch.
Moreover, although he hadn’t awakened spiritual power, his innate spiritual power was not weak. Fang Yuxin didn’t know if he frequently used Elental Stones to train his spiritual power, but from what she observed, Bai Ye’s talent was exceptionally excellent.
Furthermore, not only was his talent outstanding, but he also had rich combat experience, and his Combat Power was already high. All these factors combined ant that Bai Ye’s current strength among superpower users was already outstanding.
It was rare for him to be on the verge of reaching the second-level so quickly. Unfortunately, his body was filled with impurities, and the chronic injuries from years of missions made it difficult for him to advance.
After inspecting him, Fang Yuxin quietly withdrew her fingers. She glanced at Bai Qianqian, who was eagerly looking at her, and said softly, “Qianqian, you should go and train now.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqian realized that Fang Yuxin wanted to speak privately with Bai Ye, deliberately sending him away. He was eager to know what Fang Yuxin would say and worried about Bai Ye’s condition, so he didn’t want to leave at all. Clinging to Fang Yuxin’s hand, he coaxed, “Mama, let stay here, I want to stay with you.”
Bai Ye also guessed that Fang Yuxin had sothing to say, considering she purposely sent Bai Qianqian away because her following words might not be suitable for him to hear. Therefore, he said, “Qianqian, be good! Go practice, don’t think about being lazy!”
Bai Qianqian wrinkled his nose, glared fiercely at him, and huffed, “I’m not leaving!”
Bai Ye knew he was worried about him and was actually moved, but he didn’t want to make Fang Yuxin uneasy, so he pretended to look stern and said crossly, “Bai Qianqian, are you itching for a spanking? Have you been misbehaving because I haven’t disciplined you for three days?”
Bai Qianqian thought Bai Ye was really angry and instantly felt aggrieved, his eyes turning red. He was staying just for his silly dad, and yet he was being scolded. Humph, silly dad really was annoying!
Fang Yuxin also misunderstood; she thought Bai Ye was intentionally venting his frustration on the child and imdiately beca furious. “Mr. Bai, this is the Fang Family’s ho! Why are you venting your anger on the child? Sorry, I can’t help with your issue, and you are not welco here. Please leave!” She said, angrily pointing towards the door, signaling Bai Ye to scram.
Bai Ye felt extrely frustrated inside. He wasn’t really angry! And he wasn’t really scolding the child, either. How unjust!
Bai Qianqian sniffled and quietly tugged on Fang Yuxin’s hand, whispering, “Mama, don’t be mad at dad, I’ll go and practice obediently. Please help dad.” Humph, silly dad was getting more and more useless. If he couldn’t advance, how would he protect Mama in the future? How would he fend off bad uncles and strange aunts?
He was doing it for Mama, not because he pitied his silly dad. Humph!
Fang Yuxin, seeing him so sensible, felt her heart soften even more. She ruffled Bai Qianqian’s hair and kissed his chubby cheeks twice before gently patting his shoulder to send him to practice.
Bai Ye, sitting opposite, watched his smug son’s eyes curl up with delight, feeling like the taphorical vinegar jar inside him had been overturned.
Jeez! How could one be so jealous!
Fang Yuxin ignored him, and as she watched Bai Qianqian’s small figure disappear, she turned her cold gaze to Bai Ye, barely concealing her displeasure as she said, “Mr. Bai, why haven’t you left?”
Bai Ye knew she was angry, his heart skipped a beat, and he cautiously said, “Miss Fang, I truly ca here sincerely seeking your help. Just na your terms, whatever you ask.”
Fang Yuxin smiled. “I indeed have a way to help you, but… are you sure you can afford my fee? My charges are very high.”
Hearing her say this, Bai Ye couldn’t help but think about that bag of Elental Stones he had initially. His lips twitched involuntarily. At that ti, he hadn’t known the value of the Elental Stones, collecting them simply based on a weird gut feeling. So, when Fang Yuxin demanded them as paynt, his eyes didn’t even blink as he imdiately agreed.
