Chapter 401: The Luo Family’s Mysterious Background
Chapter 401: The Luo Family’s Mysterious Background
When Si Mobai had left the Misty Forest, he’d said that he’d wanted to go to the Xuantian Continent . However, more than a month had now passed, and he was still in South Peace City .
Si Mobai held Feng Tianlan’s hand as they turned into the corridor . He then took both of her hands in his and blew warm air on them to warm her up . He said, “The things happening at Luo Manor must have you so worried . Besides, the new year is almost here, so I decided to delay my journey . ”
He should have left long ago, but something unexpected had happened at Luo Manor . Lan’er must have been blaming herself and working very hard . Eventually, he’d had to step in to help her out as he couldn’t bear to see her sad .
Feng Tianlan looked at the expression on Si Mobai’s face . He was vigorously blowing warm air to warm up her hands . She felt a burning sensation on her palms and blushed, saying, “I am fine . It’s just that Yunzhu, she…” her voice trailed off for a moment . “Besides, this matter is too grave . If things remain this uncertain, then I am afraid that those people might go looking for Yunzhu . ”
Si Mobai let out a faint ‘uh-huh’ as he continued to warm up Tianlan’s hands .
“My hands are not cold anymore,” Feng Tianlan said, then quickly pulled back her hands and buried them inside her sleeves . She felt a burning sensation on her face from the cold wind .
Si Mobai did not persist . He blocked part of the cold wind for her with his body and said, “I have found some clues regarding this matter that I think may be helpful to you . ”

Feng Tianlan raised her head and peered at Si Mobai . Half of his face was blocked by the candlelight, which made him even more mysterious . The Zhusha mole on his forehead was still as red as fresh blood . Tianlan then looked at his hair and saw that it was covered in a layer of soft white snow . It looked like his black hair was turning white, which made him appear even more like a banished immortal .
His head was covered in snow . When it melted, he would definitely get a migraine .
Si Mobai wanted to tell her what he had found out, but Tianlan, who was a head shorter than him, was standing on tiptoes, trying to increase her height . She then reached out her hand and gently brushed the crown of his head . Snowflakes shook right off .
At that moment, Si Mobai’s cold heart instantly melted into water .
“It’s snowing outside, so why didn’t you use an umbrella? When the snow melts, your hair will be wet, and you will get a migraine . Later I…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Feng Tianlan felt a burning gaze land on her, and it made her want to pull her hand back resentfully . However, her slender wrist was held fast . Then, she heard the familiar soft, deep voice, “Continue, and I will tell you about all the clues . ”
Feng Tianlan blushed in embarrassment, but she still let out soft ‘uh-huh . ’
Si Mobai was smiling as he looked at the red-faced Feng Tianlan in the candlelight . He let go of her hand and continued, “The origins of this matter might trace back as afar as a thousand years ago . ”
“That long ago?” Feng Tianlan exclaimed and looked at him doubtfully . She thought that it would have only taken up to a hundred years . However, it could actually be traced back a thousand years . This period seemed too long .

Si Mobai glanced at her hand, waiting for her to continue brushing the snow from his hair . Then he said, “The Blue Flame Academy has a long history . If we were to follow it all the way back, we actually have to go back a thousand years . According to what I found out, the ancestor who founded the Blue Flame Academy was stronger than a God Supreme . ”
“God Supreme!” Feng Tianlan’s hand stopped brushing as her pupils dilated . She said in a deep voice, “Xuantian Continent’s strongest fighter was a God Supreme . The Luo family actually had such an ancestor . ”
However, from an ancestor who was a God Supreme to an Advanced-stage Spiritual King, the difference was too vast .
“It can be said that the Luo Family came from Xuantian Continent a long time ago . For some unknown reasons, they went into hiding on the Guiyuan Continent . Their journey goes from a village school to the Blue Flame Academy—it’s hundreds of years of history . ” Si Mobai picked out the main points as he explained the Luo Family history . His eyes remained glued to Feng Tianlan’s face the whole time . She looked very gentle as she brushed off the snow from his hair .
The two of them stood in the corner of the corridor . In the candlelight, Feng Tianlan was attentively brushing the snow from his hair . At the same time, he lowered his head to explain everything to her . They looked exactly like a husband and wife duo where the wife had been waiting for her husband who’d come home late .

I realized that far too late, so this story is... weird. It might be light at times, and dark at times, and in all honesty, definitely has dark undertones. Oh, and prepare to be disappointed or pleased by this story; I understand that this story is polarizing, at least. Cover made by: Fei (@Chippy03966650) / Twitter
