"But you've worked so hard to get the admission token. How can you watch them give it to the fifth young master just like that?" The servant was not convinced. He had grown up with Ye Cheng and had seen how his young master suffered humiliation in the Ye family. The Ye family receive five admission tokens for the examination of Limitless academy. Ye Cheng has reached the seven levels of Qi Gathering and should receive one but the main wife refuses. Therefore, Ye Cheng made a deal with Lord Ye and had been working really hard to serve the family since then. Now that he was about to get the token, something came up and he is about to be driven from the family. Just how unfair life needs to be for him?
"Shen, don't worry yourself, after today, I will no longer be part of the Ye family." Ye Cheng acts like he doesn't care but in fact it affects him deeply. His future is almost ruined by those people.
"Then, let me go with you." The servant suggested
Ye Cheng refused: "No, I have nothing at the moment. Going with me will only make you suffer more. Stay here and help the other young masters."
"It's all Bai Jing's fault!"
"You're right, it's his fault!" Ye Cheng's eyes flash with a ruthless cold light. It's all his fault that everything I worked so hard to earn got taken away. Misfortune is bad but being the contributor to someone's misfortune is even worse.
...….
Meanwhile, in the carriage, Zhu Ping has been nagging on how Bai Jing should behave to live a good life. "You two are young couples and still have long lives in front of you. Not all marriages begin with love, you can still find love along the way. I'm that kid Ye Cheng has lived a hard life since the death of his mother and there's a chance he might take his frustration out on you, but just bear with it and remember, you can only depend on each other to survive. As a Ger, you're naturally inferior to men, listen to him and don't argue with him at all times. I'm sure with time he will see how good you are and be nice to you."
Bai Jing listens to Zhu Ping talk and occasionally nods his head to show his understanding.
A while later, Lord Bai came back with a smile on his face. Seems like whatever agreement he made with Lord Ye was successful. "It's settled." He said as he entered the carriage. "Jing, be a good boy and don't give your husband trouble in the future."
Zhu Ping knew it was goodbye time. He pulls Bai Jing into a tight hug and refuses to let go. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Bai Jing patted his back to assure him.
"Don't forget to come visit from time to time." Zhu Ping held back his tears.
"I will. And don't forget to hide from others before taking your medicine. I'll be expecting a sign from your stomach in a month." Bai Jing whispered in his ear.
"Okay." Zhu Ping finally had a smile on his face and waved goodbye.
"Lord Bai, I'll be leaving my daddy in your care. If anything bad happens to him, I will come visit you as your worst nightmare!" Bai Jing stared Lord Bai in the eyes seriously and didn't seem to be affected by his aura; but in fact, his back was covered in cold sweat.
Lord Bai looked at him for a while and laughed: "Boy, you've become more daring. I'll be looking forward to your achievement." He didn't take Bai Jing's words seriously and waved his hands.
Bai Jing got down from the carriage and waved goodbye to Zhu Ping. He watched the carriage leave through the gate, Zhu Ping was still looking out the window waving to him with red eyes.
Bai Jing stood on the spot not knowing what to do. He saw some servants looking at him with pity. After standing for ten minutes, he started to get irritated. A simple looking carriage came from the back of the Ye mansion, inside sat a handsome young man. The carriage stops in front of Bai Jing and the handsome man opens the door. "Get in." His cold voice sounded.
Bai Jing was taken aback. From his memories he could tell that this person is Ye Cheng. Seeing the person whose child he was carrying, Bai Jing suddenly felt embarrassed and didn't know how to face him.
"Do you wanna stay here? Get in already!" Ye Cheng was a little impatient.
Bai Jing quickly entered the carriage, he smiled at Ye Cheng who was looking at him coldly: "Hum… Hello."
Ye Cheng ignored him and turned his head back to the book he was reading. Bai Jing stood awkwardly, the sudden movement of the carriage made him lose his balance and almost fall. Ye Cheng didn't lift his head to see what was going on.
Bai Jing held onto the carriage wall and looked around, but there was only one long seat. Ye Cheng was sitting in the center so he could only sit at the edge.
The carriage was moving smoothly for an hour before they got on the bumpy road. After getting pushed around for another hour, Bai Jing was both physically and mentally tired. He took out the clothes bundle from his space bag, put it on the floor and lay down on it. Soon, he was fast asleep. Ye Cheng looked at the person sleeping on the floor indifferently. He put the book down and started to meditate.
...….
As Bai Jing was sleeping, he felt a hand choking his neck. He used all his strength to push the hand away but he couldn't. He tried to open his eyes but his eyes wouldn't open just like a bad nightmare. He got really scared, "Let go, let me go…." His voice got weaker until it became a whisper, "Let me go, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry…."
Sorry? You better be. Ye Cheng sneered and took his hand away and went back to his seat.
Bai Jing coughed for a long time, tears rolling down his eyes as he got up. He looked around confusedly, it took a while for him to recognize his surroundings. When his eyes met Ye Cheng's cold gaze, he felt an inexplicable fear. This made Bai Jing more confused. Weren't they fine a moment ago, what's going on?
Bai Jing thought was interrupted by the voice of the villagers.
The snow horse was very eye-catching. As soon as they entered Longxu village, many villagers thought that they were from a big family so they walked out of the road with curiosity to see what was happening. Some quick-witted one hurried to the village chief. The village chief, a seventy-year-old man, walked towards the carriage.
"Two little friends, you've come from a long distance. May I know what is going on?"
Ye Cheng took out a token and gave it to the village chief.
The village took the token and browsed and said: "Oh, you're the new owners of old man Yan house. The house is at the end of the village." The village chief directed them.
"Thank you." Ye Cheng nodded and put something in the village chief's hand. As soon as the chief saw what was in his hand, his eyes open wide with surprise, he smiled and became more friendly towards them.
The carriage driver heard the location and drove the carriage to the village end.
"Wow, whose carriage is that?"
"They are outsiders, only old man Li has a carriage in this village."
"I hear that someone bought the old man Yan house at the foot of the mountain. It might be them."
The villagers chatted with each other and went their separate ways, it was late already. Longxu village wasn't big, it took five minutes for the carriage to reach the end of the village.
Bai Jing put his clothes away and got out of the carriage, A very simple thatched house came into view. There was a small gate separating the courtyard from the road. The environment was calm and peaceful, so peaceful that only the sounds of birds could be heard. Behind the house was the Longxu mountain, and on the right and left sides there were small hills.
Surrounded by nature, Bai Jing felt that his life had come to the fullest. "This place is not bad." He unknowingly said his thoughts out loud. Bai Jing was immediately frightened, he looked at Ye Cheng afraid that he'll upset the other party.
