Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Being A Family Patriarch Is A Burden For Her

"You have seen Senior Brother Qiao Rong?" Ning Shoukai asked excitedly.

"Well... Yeah." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"He is a very good person. He is a grandson of the Principal of Tianlong School but he never uses that identity to bully others. He treated others with respect." Ning Shoukai praised Qiao Rong so highly.

Bai Xifeng looked at Ning Shoukai like he was idol-praising his idol. She never thought to see one here.

"Is Qiao Rong really that great?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Of course, he is great. Don’t you see him before?" Ning Shoukai asked.

Bai Xifeng moved her eyes right and left as she was thinking about Qiao Rong. Well, she admitted that he was a nice guy but she could not say that he was as great as Ning Shoukai sounded him to be.

"By the way, why are you returning home?" Bai Xifeng changed the topic.

"Oh, well, my grandfather asked me to return home for the succession ceremony." Ning Shoukai’s face turned grim when he talked about that.

"Succession ceremony?" Bai Xifeng tilted her head.

"Yes. I will compete with my brother to be our family Patriarch." Ning Shoukai stated.

"Sound troublesome." Bai Xifeng stated.

Ning Shoukai was stunned when he heard that. He never heard someone say something about that. Everyone wanted to be the family Patriarch. That title was very good.

"Troublesome? Why do you say something like that? Is that being Family Patriarch great?" Ning Shoukai asked.

"Of course... Being a family Patriarch means you will be taking a large responsibility on your shoulders. I would never take that burden willingly." Bai Xifeng shook her head.

She was aiming to live freely, counting money from her business. That was her dream.

Ning Shoukai was dumbfounded when he heard Bai Xifeng’s reasoning. It was his first time listening to such an opinion. Everyone around him told him, it was a good opportunity and that he should go for that. But right now, he heard someone state being a family Patriarch was a burden.

"Do you have siblings, Sir Bai?" Ning Shoukai asked.

"Hmm... Yes, an older brother." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"Don’t you argue about who will be the family Patriarch?" Ning Shoukai asked again.

"Of course not. I am glad that he is willing to be that Patriarch." Bai Xifeng said. She then sighed. "I really don’t understand why you want to compete to be that?"

Ning Shoukai was stunned. Yes, why am I not thinking about that? Why should I want to compete to be a family Patriarch? He asked to question that to himself. He did not want to be a family Patriarch. He made up his mind.

Bai Xifeng yawned.

"You are already feeling sleepy. Go to sleep now." Liu Longwei said.

"Okay... Okay...." Bai Xifeng stood up and went to her tent.

Liu Longwei felt there was no reason for him to stay here anymore. He also followed Bai Xifeng to the tent.

Ning Shoukai’s subordinates finally could feel breathing. They were so scared to stay close to that Lord Yueliang. They were scared that Lord Yueliang might flip out in anger and kill them.

However, they could see that Lord Yueliang did not care about that and only focused his attention on the young master beside him. Not to mention, he seemed to be overprotective toward that young master. They began to wonder how the heck this young master could make Lord Yueliang like this.

Ning Shoukai noticed the behaviour of his subordinates. "What is going on with you guys?"

Young Master Shoukai, that man is Lord Yueliang, the leader of the Black Moon Organisation. He was famous for his cruelty, ruthless and merciless action." The subordinate stated.

"Are you serious?" Ning Shoukai turned his attention to the tent. "I think you mistaken his identity. There is no way that such a figure like Lord Yueliang, leader of the Black Moon, would be at this kind of place."

The subordinates went silent. They also began to question themselves. At last, they believed what Ning Shoukai said. There was no way that Lord Yueliang would be here. That man was probably using Lord Yuealing’s name. That’s all.

...

Bai Xifeng woke up when she felt the light on her face. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Liu Longwei’s face. She was stunned when suddenly Liu Longwei’s handsome face in the morning as soon as she opened her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Xifeng narrowed her eyes.

"I am just wanting to wake you up. That’s all." Liu Longwei said.

Well, actually he also slept in the tent too. 10 minutes after Bai Xifeng entered the tent and fell asleep, Liu Longwei entered the tent and slept beside Bai Xifeng until the morning. He woke up first before Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng woke up. She told Liu Longwei to get out because she wanted to change her clothes. Liu Longwei obeyed the order. When he got out of the tent, he saw Ning Shoukai and his subordinates already woke up.

"Good morning, Lord Yueliang." Ning Shoukai greeted Liu Longwei.

Liu Longwei just nodded and waited for Bai Xifeng to come out. Afterwards, Bai Xifeng came out. She began to pack up her tent.

The tent then was stored in a bag. Once Ning Shoukai and his subordinates saw this, they were shocked. They saw that Bai Xifeng owned a Qiankun Bag. Owning a Qiankun Bag meant he had a powerful background.
