Bai Yunxi didn't expect things to turn out like this. She has a bad feeling about this in her mind.
"Who is she?" She asked suddenly.
"I can't tell you that." Su Kang refused to answer.
"How old is she to be a mother?" She murmured.
"She is under 40 for sure." Su Kang unexpectedly replied to her.
She thought something before her face shifted to a shocked look. She immediately focused on Su Kang's face, and then she saw him looking everywhere in the cabin, but his eyes always avoided looking at her.
"How and when did you meet her?" she asked.
"I accidentally saved her a few years ago, and that's all."
"Is he talking about me?" She thought of this possibility.
"Why are you asking these questions?" he asked.
"I'm just curious about those pieces of jewelry, that's all. I'm going to rest now." She hurriedly went to her room.
Bai Yunxi is lying on the bed with a complicated expression. She enjoyed her time with Su Kang. He makes her carefree. She doesn't have to carry any burden. She doesn't know if he was talking about her, but what will she do if it's her? She doesn't know how to face him anymore. She fell asleep thinking about these things.
Su Kang is observing her situation. He can manipulate her memory and dreams, but he doesn't want to install fake memory in her consciousness. Since this is an exquisite level skill, as long as she breaks through the nascent soul, she will realize those memories.
As long as she has an opportunity to reach Nascent Soul, Su Kang will help her. So he doesn't want to manipulate her. He will show her his experiences where he risked his life for Li Fang. He will try to move her heart even if it takes a few more months.
Many hours later, Su Kang came to Bai Yunxi's room. He started to show his fights where he risked his life for Li Fang.
Su Kang showed her three dreams. He stopped after that. He does not want to give her body any toll; after all, it's a skill of demon cultivators. He will do this again later.
...
Bai Yunxi woke up with complex emotions. She doesn't understand why did she has such dreams in her sleep.
"Maybe I was thinking about him, and he had already told me about these incidents; that's why it had taken the form of dreams. But even in my dreams he was helping Li Fang." She thought.
Bai spent the entire morning in her thoughts before Su Kang called her to eat. She went out and saw food was prepared. She sat down in her seat and started eating.
She is silently stealing a few glances of Su Kang. He noticed her actions but did not react. He is extremely happy inside his heart.
"It's a small step in the right direction. That's good, Su Kang thought.
He started to talk about the Su family to her. He is filling her in on necessary information about his family. He is sure Li Fang hasn't told her much. He explained his family history and things that she might have to take notice of.
After listening about the Su family, Bai Yunxi started feeling inferior. She has this feeling in front of her own son as well. She did not even want to meet her son's friends many times because of this. Her cultivation is low; after their marriage, her husband died, and people assumed her as a misfortune bringer.
Then she, deep down in her heart, started believing such rumors. Her heart is clouded in such thoughts, and she is not confident anymore about herself. Her path of cultivation is lost because of this.
Su Kang observed her expression. He immediately thought something was wrong with her. She isn't good at hiding her facial expressions.
"Why are you feeling dejected again? What are you worried about?" He asked.
"No, it's not like that. I am fine." She replied, but her expression betrayed her.
"Life is cruel. Sometimes we face unjust treatments, and sometimes we suffer tragic fates. A demon cultivator kills an entire city's population and then refines their blood and soul for his cultivation. What is the crime of people living in the city? Some people might say it's because they were weak. But they were weak because they didn't have any cultivation background or cultivation resources. Even this world doesn't have enough spiritual qi for everyone to cultivate. Some might blame it on their karma of previous lives. But you can always find excuses for anything."
"You might be lamenting about your current family situation or about your husband; you can even occasionally feel sad about it, but if you're doing nothing else to change your current situation, then it's your fault. You can't undo what's already done; you can only look forward to the next step."
"I hope it will help you. But remember, none of it is your fault in the first place. You are responsible for your own misery but you aren't responsible for others misfortune or misery," Su Kang said sincerely.
He doesn't know why she was making that expression, but he tried to help her. He then left her alone.
After hearing him say all those things. She just nodded and left. She is thinking about her life till now. She was loved by her parents. She was a jovial and confident person. Then the burden of the Li family changed her.
"What can I do now? Can I even change the current situation?" Bai Yunxi thought in her heart.
...
Su Kang didn't do anything later. He thought right now is not an appropriate time to show her such dreams.
They have arrived at Liyun City. He is going towards the Su family. The Su family manor is in the core area where spiritual qi is high in density. He has already come out of the cabin and is moving towards a certain mountain. He called Bai Yunxi out and landed in a courtyard. She looked at her surrounding mountains filled with spirits. She is standing in a spacious courtyard filled with many trees and a big pond.
"Young master, welcome back."
In front of the luxurious hall, many servants and maids are kneeling and saluting; Su Kang is standing in front of them.
Su Kang is inside his residence in Su Manor with Bai Yunxi.
"Miss Bai, you can choose any one of the mansions. You should take a look at them; if you have any questions, you can ask anything from these maids. They will take care of your daily needs from now on." Su Kang explained.
Bai Yunxi is overwhelmed with everything. She didn't expect she would be living in such a place. Although she has already agreed with him that he will be addressing her in such a way as to hide her identity, she is still embarrassed about it.
"Su Kang, I prefer a simple and quiet place. It's too grand for me."
"No one will be here to disturb you. I will make sure of it. Except for maids, there is no one around you. Isn't it quiet enough? Just take a look around." He said.
He then took her around to look at a suitable mansion and familiarize her with the surrounding environment.
By the evening they were done, and then Su Kang left to meet his family members.
Su Kang is disappointed to find that his parents have gone out. His elder cousins are busy with family affairs and went out of the Liyun city.
"It must be about the secret realm that I told them about. That's why all of them are busy." He thought.
They have to obtain certain artifacts before they can even remove those spiritual plants from the secret realm, and this realm is far away from the Qingyun region. It will take 45-50 days for a pill formation cultivator to just go there. Su Kang is thinking that at least he will not see his parents for the next four months.
As for his brother, he is outside adventuring somewhere. He will be here soon. Su Kang has nothing else to do, so he went to Bai Yunxi's mansion.
"Let's eat together. I will introduce you to this city's special dishes." He said.
Bai Yunxi nodded. She is also quite hungry. He looked at her elegantly eating the food with a mature face.
"When you are bored in the future, you can take a look at the garden, or you can relax at the hotspring; you will enjoy it." He said.
Bai Yunxi's face grew rosy pink at the mention of the hot spring. She suddenly remembered that shameful incident.
Su Kang observed her expression. She is relaxed now, and tonight he will continue his attack on her.
