Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 776: Retreat

Chapter 776: Retreat

After Bai Tian'er arrived there, Linghu Yincheng immediately told her and Bai Zizhen about her plans regarding the future of the Bai Kingdom, shocking not only the two of them but also her three children. "Even though a cultivator from the upper realms helped Huangfu Shou to do that to us, it was undeniable that we were too negligent and weak, which caused us to fall into their control. I have thought about this matter after Zhang Fei freed me from their control, and I feel that we are no longer fit to lead our kingdom. Moreover, Zhou Shenxin has ascended the throne and become the empress of the Zhou Kingdom, so I think it's time for the younger generation to lead our kingdom. Chongxi is the crown prince, so I want him to succeed his father to lead our kingdom. However, he cannot lead it alone, and he still needs our help."

"Honestly, I have no problem with that, Yincheng. Bai Chongxi has been the crown prince for a long time, and he will ascend to become the emperor sooner or later." Bai Zizhen paused for a while. "However, we should not decide on this matter without your husband present, and we should wait for Zhang Fei to release him before making a decision."

"For now, this matter is just my thoughts, and the decision still has to wait for my husband." Linghu Yincheng then spoke to Bai Tian'er. "Once my husband is free, we will announce the return of your family and the others to the royal family, and I hope you can help Chongxi when he ascends the throne."

Bai Tian'er shook her head in refusal. "Aunt Lingzhu, it's not that I don't like your plan, and I'm actually thrilled if my family can return to the royal family. However, I'm not interested in royal affairs because they will only waste my time, and I want to focus on my cultivation and personal affairs, so you have to choose other people to help my cousin."

"Do you want to chase Zhang Fei?"

"Yes." Bai Tian'er immediately admitted it. "I fell in love with Zhang Fei after we spent some time together in the Star Tower, but there was something about me that made him unwilling to accept me, and he kept rejecting me. I have understood my shortcomings, and I have been trying to change them. Unfortunately, my changes are still not enough to convince him to accept me. Thus, I want to focus on personal life, and I will convince him to accept me in the future."

"I'm like you too, cousin." Bai Tian'er turned to Bai Shouyi. "I started liking Zhang Fei after he found me unconscious in the maze challenge, but he always acted indifferent to me, and he was not even willing to take the time to talk to me. Every time he visited us in the Azure Sky Realm, he only talked with my big brother and mother, and he immediately left again without greeting me. He told my mother that I wanted to take advantage of him like you, even though I never thought like that, and he didn't want to get close to me because of that."

"I did intend to take advantage of him at first, especially after I learned of his abilities." Bai Tian'er sighed heavily before continuing. "His abilities convinced me that he could help me seize the Bai Kingdom from Uncle Yaowei, so I wanted to take advantage of him to help me. However, he was aware of my intentions, and he kept his distance from me, no matter how hard I tried to get closer to him. Back at the Star Tower, I kept trying to seduce him, and we kissed, but he was never willing to accept me. Instead, he was more interested in my mother, and she lived with him for the past three months."

Bai Shouyi, Bai Chongxi, Bai Renfu, and Bai Zizhen fell into a daze after hearing Bai Tian's words about Bai Shushi.

"You guys must find it strange, right?" Bai Tian'er posed the question with a wry smile. "Honestly, I myself find it strange that Zhang Fei is more interested in my mother, but some of his wives are mothers and daughters, such as Shen Xueyi and Shen Yu. Therefore, I am no longer surprised that he is interested in her, and I think it's not a big deal because she is a free woman. Regardless, all the women you saw at his wedding to Zhou Shenxin were still not all of them, and he still had many other women by his side."

"Zhang Fei has so many women, huh?" Bai Shouyi muttered to herself, especially since the number of Zhang Fei's women she saw at that time was already numerous, and there were more than twenty of them.

Bai Tian'er nodded at her cousin. "I can understand your feelings for Zhang Fei, but you should rethink it again. You are different from me, and I'm sure you will have a challenging time accepting his polyamorous relationship."

"You're right, Cousin." Bai Shouyi replied with a soft sigh.
