Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 123 - Where Were They?

Bai Rouyun frowned as she listened to Bai Mulan. She knew that she had to face this at one point or another, but she was not really ready.

She had been told these things all of a sudden, with no time to prepare herself, and now he wanted her to contact her father, whom she did not even know existed?

It was even worse that Bai Mulan had already shown the attitude that they had towards Li Moyun, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart when she thought of how they disdained him when he was so important to her.

Since she had been lost so many years ago, she was unwilling to accept the family for any price.

Bai Mulan was not sure what she was thinking about. He thought that she would be extremely curious about her origin, but Bai Rouyun was no longer the same as before.

Although she was still starved for family affection, she was unwilling to sacrifice those who had treasured her for it.

However, she also understood that Bai Mulan would contact her so-called father no matter what she said, and thus she might as well follow him to see what they had to say, and who this person was.

After thinking like this, she nodded her head to approve of Bai Mulan’s suggestion, and a flash of happiness shone in the man’s eyes.

He knew how much his friend regretted losing his child all those years back, so he wanted to help them reunite.

He did not doubt that Bai Rouyun would return to the Bai family. She was their child, so she belonged to their family. Even though he disdained the husband she had married, he would not destroy their relationship now that he knew that she loved Li Moyun.

Instead, he would convince the man that he could become a live-in husband, and that their children would be surnamed Bai.

Bai Rouyun was not going to become the new leader of the Bai Family. First of all, the family preferred male descendants to female descendants. They would never let a woman take over such an important position.

Secondly, she was not strong enough. Her cultivation base was so low that everyone would mock her, and the Bai Family would die in her hands.

She would be able to live a life of luxury and be pampered in the Bai family, but she would never be able to have any power. The only one who truly cared for her were her parents; the others would look down on her. Although she had noble blood, she was a weak person who had grown up in a prison continent.

She was nothing more than a pretty face with how she was now. Bai Rouyun was intelligent. While Bai Mulan was excited to see her, it was clear that her family would also be excited, but she knew that everyone else would not be eager to see her return.

Bai Mulan looked at the thoughtful girl. She was supposed to be much older than she was, and she was supposed to be eager to find her family, but she was taciturn, and her brows were furrowed.

He thought that she was just busy thinking about whether or not her father and mother would like her. It never crossed his mind that she was not as excited as he was.

As they returned to the academy, Bai Rouyun did not instantly follow the teacher. Instead, she went to the mission hall where she handed in the Fire Horse’s manes and tails.

She received ten points for this mission, and she nodded her head in approval. Just a few more missions, and she would be able to enter the Cultivation Tower for a few days.

Seeing that she was in no hurry to meet her parents, Bai Mulan frowned, and felt that things were not as he had expected them to be.

After finishing her things, Bai Rouyun finally faced Bai Mulan, and looked at him with an emotionless face.

"Lead the way." Her voice was devoid of emotions; there were no ups or downs in her tone. It was impossible to sense her mood, but Bai Rouyun was simply not sure what to feel about the Bai family since she had never known about them before.

When she was struggling to survive as a child, where were they?

When she had been abandoned by her master, where were they?

When she found the Primal Chaos Pagoda, and the many sects and factions were chasing her, where were they?

At the point of her rebirth, when she was the most scared, where were they?

They had not even been really looking for her, they just sent this man, Bai Mulan, for her, but his ability to search for her was not good. Everyone knew that her name was Bai Rouyun and that she was titled the Ice Phoenix.

Her name was apparently what her biological parents had named her, so why had this Bai Mulan not tried to locate her before?

Although she was grateful that things had ended up the way they had, she was still not feeling any happiness whenever she thought about her family.

Instead, she felt a mix of worry and indignation.

When she was down and out, they were nowhere to be seen, but now where her life had taken a much better turn, now that she had Li Moyun by her side, they decided to show up.

She feared that they wanted to ruin her happiness. She was worried that they aimed to take her back and lock her up like a bird in a cage. She was not willing to experience such treatment.

Bai Mulan and Bai Rouyun each had their own thoughts, which were way too far from one another, but even so, the two of them began walking towards Bai Mulan’s office.
