After returning to the courtyard, he saw Bai Yunxi sitting near the table with a gloomy expression and tears in her eyes. She has not noticed his presence yet.
He decided to conceal his presence and suddenly appeared behind her.
He said in a low and comforting voice,
"Madam, you do not have to worry about him. He will be fine."
Suddenly hearing an unknown voice coming from the back, Bai Yunxi was frightened at first, and then seeing Su Kang standing behind her, she calmed down.
"You, why are you suddenly here? You should have said something when you entered." She said with a little anger on her gloomy face.
"Madam, you didn't respond when I called earlier. You were so deep in your thoughts that you have forgotten about your surroundings," said Su Kang with a sorry expression.
Bai Yunxi is taken aback after hearing this. She did not know what to say.
Su Kang again spoke in a comforting low voice, "Madam, don't worry. They are going to just wander around."
" Hmm, I know. I was just feeling a little down." Bai Yunxi didn't want to appear weak and sentimental in front of her son's friend.
"As long as you are fine, that's good. We have to leave Qingyun sect. I will go and inform the sect master now. We will leave tonight." said Su Kang.
Bai Yunxi agreed, and Su Kang left the courtyard. Su Kang first went to the main peak of the sect and left a message for the sect master.
Then he left the main peak and went to the artifact refining pavilion. There he saw a man in charge, greeted him, and said, "I want a spiritual boat."
That person greeted him and went inside the pavilion. Soon an inner elder came with him.
"Young Master Su, come this way." The elder is very polite to him. After all, Su Kang is very famous in the sect. He is already a pill formation cultivator; meanwhile, the elder is still a foundation-building cultivator.
Su Kang followed him. They went towards the upper floor of the pavilion.
Su Kang said, "I want a spiritual boat that is focused on comfort and has a cabin on the boat equipped with a concealment array. I can compromise on the speed but nothing else."
He was buying this spiritual boat because of Bai Yunxi. He didn't want anyone to see him leaving with her.
He didn't want her to be noticed by others in the sect.
Bai Yunxi is just at the peak of the Qi refining period. So he doesn't want her to be uncomfortable. Since he didn't find any suitable spirit boat for her, then he will buy this for her.
After listening to the requirements of Su Kang, the elder nodded and started to show him one after another.
Su Kang bought a spiritual boat with a decorated cabin, and it's big enough for two people. Although its speed is not as fast as compared to other spiritual boats, Su Kang didn't want speed. He wanted to spend more time with Bai Yunxi on the journey.
Su Kang returned back to Bai Yunxi's courtyard. He did not see her on the outside. She is inside the building.
He called her and informed her about his plan. They will be leaving tonight, and right now it is half past noon. They have a lot of free time on their hands.
Bai Yunxi invited him inside. Su Kang started to talk to her.
"Madam, how are you feeling?"
"Ah, I am okay." Bai Yunxi is surprised by this sudden question. She thought she was good at hiding her emotions, but she is embarrassed right now.
Since even a junior is worried about her, she thought she didn't look good. But she is not aware that her face is not gloomy anymore, but it's Su Kang who is trying to please her.
"Then let's talk about something else now. Your gloomy expression is eating your beauty." Su tried to change the topic.
"Who is a beauty? Aunty is not young enough to be fooled by your sweet words," Bai Yunxi said in a reprimanding tone. But she didn't mind his words and thought that he was doing this to make her feel better.
"Don't you look at the mirror? How can you say that you are not young anymore?" Su Kang said.
Bai Yunxi is 37 years old. She married Li Xiao at 16, and later Li Xiao disappeared. She gave birth to Li Fang at the age of 17. She was the young mistress of the Bai family and the number one beauty of Qin City.
She used to be a cultivation genius of Qin city. At the age of 16, she was already at the 5th stage of the Qi refining period.
After her husband disappeared, the Li family started facing setbacks. She also suffered. One poisoning incident ended up blocking her meridians. Her cultivation was stagnant until Li Fang took control of the Li family.
Li Fang used many precious medicines to open her meridians again. But her body is not young anymore, so her cultivation speed is not as good as before. Those medicines also made her look a lot younger.
"Instead you are looking a lot younger compared to before," Su Kang said with a sincere smile on his face.
Bai Yunxi is confused after hearing this. As far as she remembers, it's their first time meeting. She asked, "Did we meet before?"
"Um, but it was not a meeting. I just saw you at that time.
"It seems Li Fang used some rare herbs to treat you." Su Kang said in an awkward tone and tried to hide something.
Bai Yunxi's eyes caught his expression. She understood that he was hiding something, but she didn't know the reason. He is giving her a familiar feeling, but she hasn't grasped it yet.
Meanwhile, Su Kang intentionally passed these remarks. He is making her to dig deeper into this intentionally.
"Umm, but this is already too late for me," Bai Yunxi said. Li Fang has left a foundation-building elixir of top quality for her. If she didn't break through the foundation building realm before she hit 40 years, then she will most likely be at the Qi refining realm for the the rest of her life.
"Do not worry, madam. I have a feeling that you will make it somehow. Your destiny is great. You just have to wait for it till then," Su Kang said.
Su Kang has asked Fate about Bai Yunxi. Her destiny number is around 5000. She is only at the peak of Qi refining. 5000 destiny is something an average pill formation cultivator possesses. Fate told him that she is most likely going to experience a very good fortune in the future.
"I will believe you for now." Bai Yunxi laughed at his childish remarks.
They talked to each other for a long time. Bai Yunxi is feeling better than before. Su Kang is telling her about his and Li Fang's experience. Between his talks, he makes a few jokes to make her laugh.
Bai Yunxi is learning about her son's adventure with interest. She has heard his many adventures, but it's the first time she is listening to this in such detail. After all, Su Kang has personally experienced all this in the first place.
Su Kang even told her about his potential love interest, Bai Yunxi. After listening, Bai Yunxi's eyes glowed with strong interest. Although she never forced or said her son about marriage, she will not refuse a potential daughter-in-law.
Their talks continued for a long time until they realized the time. It's time to leave Qingyun sect. Sky is already getting darker; Bai has already prepared everything.
Su Kang is standing in the courtyard with Bai Yunxi. He took out the spiritual boat that he bought for her.
He suddenly held Bai Yunxi's waist and flew towards the cabin. She can not fly, so he took this opportunity to hold her.
Bai Yunxi frowned at this but didn't speak. Again getting on the boat, he started the concealment array and took Bai Yunxi inside the cabin.
Inside the cabin is spacious with an elegant-looking style. Bai Yunxi looked at this scene with marvel. She came to the Qingyun sect in the spiritual boat as well, but this one is luxurious and focused on comfort.
Su Kang said, "You can choose any room for rest; we will arrive at the Qingyun city in one hour."
Su Kang will stay in the Su family branch for some time. After a few days he will be leaving for Liyun City with Bai Yunxi.
