Chapter 39: Things Are Progressing Quite Well
Bai Zhouyun didn't avoid the topic at all. He hadn't mentioned it before because it hadn't come up, and he had never had a habit of keeping secrets. So he directly said,
"I think he went to some legion to carry out a mission before. I don't know much about it. Anyway, he's back now."
Bai Zhouyun wasn't familiar with such matters and knew very little, but Yun Feiyu was different.
Because he had an older brother, Yun Feiqiao, who constantly paid attention to information regarding various legions, he knew very well that if someone could be specially recruited by a legion to perform missions before even graduating, then joining that legion in the future was almost guaranteed.
But thinking about it carefully, if it was Nan Yu, then getting into any legion should be easy, right?
After all, he was such an outstanding Mid-Tier Mental Power User.
No legion would reject someone so talented.
So if one had to complete missions first to obtain a chance to join, then perhaps only the handful of top legions would have such requirements.
For some reason, the first thing Yun Feiyu thought of was Marshal Yu Lanfeng's legion.
But he quickly shook his head.
How could it possibly be Marshal Yu's legion?
There were talents everywhere in Marshal Yu's legion. No matter how difficult things became, they shouldn't need Nan Yu's help, right?
"I wonder which legion it is. In the future, Student Nan Yu will definitely join that legion. After all, he already carried out a mission and earned military merits. Entering that legion later should become much easier."
Bai Zhouyun took a deep breath.
"What does that have to do with me?"
Yun Feiyu knew that dreaming of marrying Bai Zhouyun directly was nothing more than a fool's fantasy.
Even though they were both equally useless, they could never truly be together.
Bai Zhouyun was the only son of the lofty Bai family.
As for himself, he came from a very ordinary family and wasn't even considered a Low-Tier Mental Power User.
Therefore, if he wanted to be with Bai Zhouyun and climb higher through him, there was only one path.
He had to appear, in the eyes of the Bai family, as someone who would not affect Bai Zhouyun's future.
Which meant that even if he and Bai Zhouyun were together, it could only ever be a secret relationship.
But Yun Feiyu didn't care.
The only thing he cared about was whether he could be with Bai Zhouyun.
And now, that wish actually seemed achievable.
Yun Feiyu knew that his opportunity had come.
"Zhouyun, you can't think that way. Have you forgotten what your grandfather told you before? They're informing you that Student Nan Yu has returned because they want you to take the initiative. If you do nothing, you'll only make your grandfather angry again."
At the mention of Old Master Bai, Bai Zhouyun immediately wilted.
"I... I know that. It's just that Nan Yu... wasn't he always the proactive one? Why is he still making such a fuss over that little matter that hardly even counts as a problem?"
Yun Feiyu actually understood.
That incident might have only been the final straw.
The real reason was that Bai Zhouyun's attitude over time had already chilled Nan Yu's heart.
But even Yun Feiyu hoped that Nan Yu would marry Bai Zhouyun.
That way, Bai Zhouyun could remain with him outside, and the Bai family would probably not interfere.
In their eyes, he would merely be someone Bai Zhouyun was casually playing with.
He posed no threat.
But only Yun Feiyu knew that Bai Zhouyun genuinely liked him.
He softly persuaded him.
"Even if it's only to keep your grandfather from scolding you, just take the initiative once. If Student Nan Yu still refuses to let things go afterward, then that'll be his fault."
"Then your grandfather won't have any reason to scold you, right?"
Bai Zhouyun thought about it.
That's right.
If he didn't contact Nan Yu, then he would be the one at fault.
But if he contacted him and Nan Yu still ignored him, then Nan Yu would be the one in the wrong.
And Grandfather would no longer have any reason to trouble him.
"You're right!"
Bai Zhouyun smiled and grabbed his hand.
"I knew you were the one who truly cares about me!"
Yun Feiyu wore a gentle smile.
"Isn't that only natural? I understand your difficulties. The Bai family definitely wants you to marry Nan Yu, and that's also the arrangement most suitable for you and the one that brings the greatest benefits to the Bai family. I understand all of it."
Bai Zhouyun was deeply moved.
He knew that only Yun Feiyu truly understood his hardships.
Unlike that Nan Yu.
Once they got married and everything was settled, he couldn't be bothered to maintain some loving relationship with Nan Yu anymore.
Yun Feiyu had sacrificed so much for him.
Naturally, he had to compensate him properly.
He moved closer and kissed Yun Feiyu on the lips.
Previously, the two had only vaguely harbored mutual feelings.
So even now, after confirming their feelings for one another, they hadn't crossed any boundaries.
At most, they kissed, hugged, and held hands.
They weren't stupid enough to take the final step already.
In fact, Yun Feiyu was grateful to whoever had taken Nan Yu away for those few months.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had so much time to spend with Bai Zhouyun, and their relationship wouldn't have progressed this quickly.
Bai Zhouyun looked at the time.
It was about time to contact Nan Yu.
If he delayed any longer, Grandfather would definitely scold him again.
He fiercely kissed Yun Feiyu on the lips, reddening them before finally letting go.
"I'm leaving first."
Yun Feiyu blushed slightly.
"I know. Go take care of your business. If you need my help with anything, come find me. I'll definitely help you."
Bai Zhouyun nodded and left the private room.
Before leaving, he told him to enjoy himself here and put everything on his tab.
After Bai Zhouyun left, Yun Feiyu contacted Yun Feiqiao, who was nearby.
About half an hour later, Yun Feiqiao opened the door and entered.
As soon as he came in, he shut the door behind him and hurried over to Yun Feiyu.
"Well? How did it go?"
The corners of Yun Feiyu's lips curled upward.
"How did it go? Of course it went perfectly. If Bai Zhouyun once had even the slightest feelings for Nan Yu, now he only thinks about marrying him and getting it over with. Well, Brother? Aren't I pretty impressive?"
Yun Feiqiao wore a broad smile.
"You really are impressive. That Nan Yu may look amazing, but sometimes that's not enough. In my eyes, you're the most capable one. But in the future, he may come looking for trouble. Right now he's angry and ignoring Bai Zhouyun, but..."
But who knew whether Nan Yu would cool off after some time and return to desperately clinging to Bai Zhouyun like before?
At that point, Yun Feiyu's existence would become a huge eyesore.
And perhaps Nan Yu would even resort to extreme measures against him.
By then, besides Bai Zhouyun, no one seemed capable of protecting him.
However, Yun Feiyu wasn't worried in the slightest.
"With Brother Zhouyun around, if he dares lay a finger on me, it'll only make Brother Zhouyun dislike him even more."
After hearing that, Yun Feiqiao nodded seriously.
"You're right. Nan Yu's love for Bai Zhouyun is famous. This time, he must really be furious to act like this. Once he calms down..."
Neither Yun Feiyu nor Yun Feiqiao finished the sentence.
But the two exchanged smiles, both understanding perfectly what the other was thinking.
