Chapter 1148 - You Would Make Him Unhappy (1/2)

Back in the palace, Fei Bai Mu raised her brows at her two other disciples. ”What about the two of you? Do you not have anything better to do than to sit around here?”

Huo Cheng and Huo Hai who had just been happy that their Master might actually be nice to deny Xin Lan the opportunity to marry their little junior were taken aback. Why was their Master throwing them out?

They exchanged a glance but there was nothing they could do for the moment other than nod and then roll out. Now, they could only hope that whatever their Master and Xin Lan talked about would not convince Fei Bai Mu so that their little junior wouldn't get married.

Fei Bai Mu waited until they were gone before she got up and waved for Xin Lan to follow her. She left her palace through a door at the back and then strolled through the stone garden at the backside.

Xin Lan glanced at her but she refused to say anything for the moment so he could only follow along.

After a while, Fei Bai Mu stopped next to one of the stones that were about their own height. ”Why do you insist to get married to my disciple?”

Xin Lan gave her a curious look. ”Why? Of course, it is because I love him.”

Fei Bai Mu looked at the garden instead. ”You see, the problem with this is that I do not believe it.”

”Then what do I need to do to make you believe me?”

Fei Bai Mu lightly shook her head. ”I cannot tell you. If I did tell you, you would go and do exactly what I asked of you. But does that really mean that you love him? I don't think so. I think it would mean that you want me to believe that you love him so that you can marry him out of whatever reason you might actually have. But you still wouldn't hold any feelings for Xiao Yu.”

Xin Lan stopped next to her and flicked a glance at the garden as well before turning back to Fei Bai Mu. ”In other words, no matter what I do, I've already lost. Since you don't believe me now, you will never believe me. What am I to do about that?”

Fei Bai Mu sighed. This was indeed a conundrum. She couldn't simply ask for proof because it wouldn't prove anything. But at the same time, she couldn't just say no. ”You see, I don't know you very well. In fact, we have only met a few times before. But the thing is that in these few times, I was able to observe a few things.
