Luo Mingbai dropped the bow, not bothering to pick up the knife that fell, feeling darkness before his eyes. He leaned on the nearby window sill.
After returning from the underworld, his depleted energy hadn’t fully recovered. Small spells were fine, but the previous exertion and anxiety for Xia Xianning now made his vision darken.
Xia Xianning rushed over, grabbing him anxiously: “Are you okay?”
Luo Mingbai pushed him away, laughing: “I wasn’t riding some broken bird in the sky. What could happen to me? You should go wash your face – you’re covered in blood. I’m getting dizzy just looking at you.”
“Luo Yingbai said hurriedly, “Grandpa, I just suddenly remembered something, I’ll go first, and I’ll come back to see you after I’m done!”
Old Master Xia, rarely seeing him so anxious, was stunned with an “Ah,” and Luo Yingbai had already hastily thrown out a “Goodbye, Grandpa” and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Grandma Xia also came out, only catching a glimpse of Luo Yingbai’s back, and laughed: “This young man is in such a hurry, he’s most likely going to chase a girl.”
The casual remark of his wife made Old Master Xia think of his grandson. He could pretty much be sure that Xia Xianning liked Luo Yingbai, but he didn’t know exactly how far their relationship had progressed, or what Luo Yingbai was thinking.
He couldn’t help but sigh and said, “I haven’t heard that Yingbai has a girlfriend, he probably doesn’t.”
Grandma Xia said, “He’ll find one sooner or later. Xianning is the same, with no movement at all.”
Old Master Xia said softly, “If only Yingbai… liked men, that would be just fine.”
Unfortunately, Grandma Xia heard this remark, squinting at him, “Old man, are you still drunk from this morning?”
She happily turned and went to the kitchen, “Wait, I just learned how to make a sobering soup.”
Xia Zheng and Cheng Guangchen were married before returning to the Xia family. That high-rise apartment on Lanze Street was their first marital home, though they didn’t live there long before moving to the Xia family’s villa.
Luo Yingbai knew the approximate location, asked the guard at the Xia family gate for the specific address, and took a taxi there.
