After walking around the street with Ying for a long time, the two of them said goodbye with some lingering feelings.

Of course, the shadow was still lingering, and Bai Qiyun felt that the pressure on himself suddenly lightened.

This pressure does not come from the unequal status of the two parties, but simply the pressure of dating a good-looking woman.

Although the two of them were visiting in name, they actually knew that this was just a date.

Due to his own understanding of himself, Bai Qiyun did not break through this layer of window paper, and Ying was also happy to see this situation.

At least it means that the other party has no intention of rejecting her, right?

In short, Bai Qiyun returned to Tingyu Pavilion with a somewhat melancholy mood.

But as soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Ying and Paimon, whose eyes were wandering.

These two guys...

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The boy's voice startled the two guys, one big and one small.

"ah!"

Paimeng's frightened look made Bai Qiyun feel that something was wrong between the two of them.

These two guys definitely had something to hide from him.

"We just went out to buy some things and did nothing else."

The small cloak behind Paimon shone with starlight, and his big eyes were filled with false sincerity.

The little one is not good at lying. People can tell the truth of what she says at a glance.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun grabbed Paimeng by the back of his neck and pulled him to his side.

"Yeah?"

"Yes...yes."

Paimon, forced by the young man's power, began to nod crazily.

Bai Qiyun could only cast his gaze on the guilty girl beside him, trying to pry useful information out of Ying's mouth.

But who would have expected that Ying would flash his figure, throw Paimon on the spot without any sense of loyalty, and sneak up the stairs himself.

"fluorescent!"

When Paimon saw Ying being so unloyal, he immediately got into a panic.

But no matter how she shouted, she had no intention of looking back.

"This guy!"

Seeing that his teammates had abandoned him, Paimon could only puff up his face angrily and planned to give him a big one when he went to bed at night.

But obviously, her thoughts could not shake Bai Qiyun's determination to get to the bottom of it.

"Say it, no one can help you now."

The young man stretched out his hand and pinched the little guy's nose hard.

Not to mention, Paimeng's skin is really smooth and tender, just like the baby that Mrs. Wang next door just gave birth to.

"Woo..."

Since Yingyi was at the forefront, there was no need for Paimon to keep pushing her around.

"I said, I said, in fact, we met Hu Tao when we went out just now, and she told us about you and General Thunder."

"Oh? What did she say."

The matter involved the master of the Hall of Rebirth, and Bai Qiyun suddenly felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

Generally speaking, anything to do with Hu Tao is bound to be bad.

Paimon rolled his eyes and quickly shook out the most important part of what Hu Tao said, hoping to divert the young man's attention.

"She...she said she wanted to be your girlfriend, don't say it was me who said it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Paimeng fled from Bai Qiyun's eyes like flying.

But at this moment, Bai Qiyun's mind was completely occupied by Paimeng's words just now.

What did she say? Hu Tao wants to be his girlfriend?

Bai Qiyun's first reaction was disbelief, and then he felt that Paimeng was telling lies.

But thinking about it on the other hand, this is Hutao, a guy who always talks weird things.

Maybe she said it to scare people, and it wasn't the first time she said it.

Bai Qiyun still remembers the first time he heard Hu Tao speak like this. It was half a year after the two first met, when Hu Tao was thrown into the care of Tingyuge by her grandfather.

Hu Tao's parents passed away early, and her grandmother also passed away early, so her grandfather has been taking care of her since Hu Tao can remember.

In addition, playing in Tingyu Pavilion took up most of her childhood.

Thinking about it now, the friendship between the two at that time might have been one of the few things that made Hu Tao relax during her childhood.

After that, her grandfather's death cast a layer of gray haze over her original eccentric temperament, which has not been completely eliminated to this day.

Every time Bai Qiyun sees Hu Tao, he can glimpse the emptiness deep in her heart from her slightly exaggerated words.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Hutao often behaves carelessly.

But no matter how you say it, no one would take seriously what they said when they were children, and it must be the same today. Most of them are just nonsense to bluff Paimon and Yin.

"Really, no one knows where to stop."

Because he was recently scolded by the old man for the engagement letter, Bai Qiyun felt more and more troubled by this kind of thing.

Although he is not too old and is far from the age to be forced into marriage, after all, even the old man and his father did not get married and have children until they were twenty-four or five years old. Now he still has at least four or five years to squander it.

.

But now it seems that because he has not yet had a main goal, the obstacles around him are becoming more and more numerous.

Even Hu Tao can make fun of him.

If he was married now, Hu Tao probably wouldn't even dare to say these words, and even the pressure on Ying's side would suddenly decrease.

But even Bai Qiyun himself knows that this is impossible. After all, he doesn't even have a partner now, so where is the goal of getting married?

Unless he directly agreed to the Lawrence family's fake engagement and used Yora as a shield, that would be a bit of a beast.

"It's really troublesome."

————

In the next few days, Bai Qiyun did not see Ying again, presumably he was preparing to return to Daozhi.

But what surprised him was that the Southern Cross fleet, which returns on time every year, was actually late this year.

Even though the Hai Lantern Festival is only a week away, there is still no news about Beidou.

If he hadn't learned from Ningguang that the Southern Cross fleet was still sailing at sea, he would have thought it crashed somewhere.

"I'm going out for a while."

"Oh, boss."

The only person who responded to him was Mona, the most laid-back person in Tingyu Pavilion.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that she has taken advantage of it again, so she changed her year-end bonus from Mora to soybean oil.

Anyway, Tingyuge provides food and accommodation, so this guy doesn't need soybean oil.

Bai Qiyun didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with his fishing for law enforcement, and he sentenced Mona to death for her year-end bonus with great peace of mind.

Today is the day he made an appointment with the Relief Society. Before the Hai Lantern Festival, he will go to the headquarters of the Relief Society again to receive a power-increasing ceremony from Bai Linglong.

Of course, he also said hello to a few of them during this trip.

This saves them from knowing where to look for him if he disappears.

Crossing the long street, he came to the relief society's office in Liyue Port. He showed the order seal given to him by Bai Linglong.

The consul's color changed instantly when he saw it, and he was taken to the basement of the relief society.

Here, Bai Qiyun saw the same space teleportation technique that Charles had used before.

"I didn't expect something like this to exist here. Did you report this to Qixing?"

"this..."

This question stumped the consul, but Bai Qiyun did not pursue it too closely.

Anyway, the relief community has a great cause. When the time comes, he can mention it to Keqing and come over and fine him hundreds of millions of Morads.

Just think of them as cash machines.

Passing through the underground space crack, Bai Qiyun once again appeared on the familiar street.

Only this time he was not accompanied by Charles.
