1974 We Can Watch the Stars Together
“Uncle Han, you’re the best! If I’m burned while watching the spectacle, I’m sure you’ll save me! Right?”
Su Han’s chest tightened.
He was the one who had taken the first stab at trying to ruin the relations.h.i.+p between the Yang family and Sky Creation so that the Yang family would put their guard up against Sky Creation.
The plan had already been partly successful when Bai Qinghuan spoke up and ruined Su Han’s effort. As a result, he had blown up his relations.h.i.+p with Sky Creation for nothing.
Lin Yuan had not spoken a single word.
He did not need to try to explain anything to Yang Sijie. All he had to do was mention the Peaceful Calm Air Moss and reveal how much of it Sky Creation had nurtured for the Su family. The Yang family would immediately take action against the Su family.
She had put him in such a predicament, yet she had the cheek to say that he was the best? She even shamelessly declared that he would save her if she was burned!
When he saw the pretentious look of innocence on Bai Qinghuan’s face, Su Han wanted to toss the wolf in sheep’s clothing that was Bai Qinghuan into a fire pit. She was revolting!
At that moment, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to Bai Qinghuan.
Presently, all three major families of Sacred Forest City had already made contact with him. This was Lin Yuan’s main reason for wanting to attend the Crown Wood Banquet.
Lin Yuan saw Bai Qinghuan wink at him. From her eyes, he could see indescribable ambition.
The ambition in Bai Qinghuan’s eyes was very familiar to Lin Yuan. He had also seen it in Di Wanmi.
The difference was that the power of the entire Whale Ocean Commerce had backed Di Wanmi’s ambition. She had the complete support of two Immortal experts who even had no qualms about destroying the Radiance Federation’s roots.
Meanwhile, Bai Qinghuan was a singular blade of gra.s.s.
According to the secrets supplied by Yi Huailong, Bai Qinghuan was personally brought up by the head of the Bai family and could live the same lifestyle as direct disciples despite being a collateral disciple because of her feminine wiles and because the head of the Bai family was grooming her to eventually be the wife of his oldest grandson who was next in line to take over the Bai family.
Bai Qinghuan was part of a collateral branch that was more than three times removed. Thus, she only had a slight proportion of the Bai family’s bloodline.
In order to prevent her from being too attached to her parents, the head of the Bai family had orchestrated an accident that left Bai Qinghuan as the only surviving member of her branch of the family.
The head of the Bai family did not want Bai Qinghuan to learn the truth and had made sure to keep her in the dark. But she was very intelligent and definitely had her suspicions.
As her position in the Bai family climbed, it went without saying that she would investigate the matter on her own.
Moreover, even if she did not do her own sleuthing, the members of the Yang family, Su family, and other factions would definitely try to come up with ways to enlighten her about the truth.
How could a person with ambition almost visibly leaking out of her be content with living the life of a trophy wife?
After learning of Bai Qinghuan’s situation, Lin Yuan felt that she resembled a venomous snake that was being tamed while the entire Bai family was her cage.
Lin Yuan had thought about trying to get close to Bai Qinghuan, but the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm was about to open, and Lin Yuan did not have the time to get acquainted with her.
But now, Bai Qinghuan had taken the initiative to approach him.
It seemed that the ambitious snake was having thoughts of breaking out of its cage.
At that moment, the tender voice said again, “Young Master Chu, your reputation precedes you! But I’ve been stuck at home and haven’t been able to go out much. I would like to have a private gathering with you after the Crown Wood Banquet. Would you be willing to give me the opportunity? I will definitely prepare a large gift that’ll be to your satisfaction!”
Although the voice was gentle, Lin Yuan could tell that this voice had lost all of its femininity. Instead, it was serious and even had a hint of yearning.
Lin Yuan thought, It looks like this little snake wants more than just to break out of its cage. It seems I’ve underestimated Bai Qinghuan’s ambition.
Bai Qinghuan’s invitation left him with no choice.
Anyone from the Bai family could interact with him besides the lady who had been primed since she was young to be the wife of the next head of the Bai family.
Moreover, she had requested to meet him in private. What she did was no different from publicly cuckolding the eldest grandson of the Bai family.
Despite having made such a radical decision, Bai Qinghuan’s gaze was level. Clearly, she had mental fort.i.tude that surpa.s.sed that of ordinary people.
“Okay! Stay by my side before the banquet ends. Tonight’s stars are really pretty. We can go and admire them after the banquet ends.”
Lin Yuan’s words stunned Bai Qinghuan, and she started to look at Lin Yuan differently. Now, there was both excitement and worry in her eyes.
She was not excited about going to see the stars with Lin Yuan but that his response indicated he had managed to read between the lines of what she said.

He told her to stay by his side for her own safety. Su Han would be deterred from laying a hand on her after she had put him in such a predicament.
As for saying that he wanted to admire the stars together, he was leaving her with no way out.
If she had only invited Lin Yuan to meet privately, there would still be a chance for her to survive when she returned to the Bai family.
But if she went with Lin Yuan to see the stars, her life would come to an end that very same night when she returned to the Bai family.
Since she no longer had any way out, Bai Qinghuan decided to fan the flames of her ambition as hard as she could tonight and fully bare herself to this young man she was meeting for the first time.
By accepting Bai Qinghuan’s invitation to meet in private and then inviting her to see the stars together, Lin Yuan could not have more clearly slighted the Bai family.
Lin Yuan’s att.i.tude toward Bai Qinghuan piqued the interest of numerous members of the factions.
However, Yang Sijie, Su Han, and Yi Huailong had no intention of watching the event unfold.
All three of them were exhibiting completely different reactions.
When Su Han spoke with Lin Yuan in Sky Creation’s tree castle, he had mentioned the conflict between the Bai family and Yi family purposely in order to leave a good impression on Lin Yuan.
Hence, Lin Yuan was undoubtedly aware of the Bai family’s power.
Why would Lin Yuan bother with the Su family if he paid so little attention to the Bai family, which possessed comparable power to the Su family?
Su Han found it difficult to remain calm when he realized this.
At that moment, Su Han decided to give up on attending the Crown Wood Banquet and immediately return home to tell his great-grandparents about this matter.
