63 A Busy Person (1/2)
Despite Elder Baili's fierce attitude when talking, Mei Chao Bing was able to talk quite harmoniously with him when discussing his plan. The Elder listened quietly and nodded his head every now and then, finally agreeing to let matters proceed this way.

Mei Chao Bing couldn't help but wonder if it could really be this easy. Didn't the Elder have anything to add? He waited but nothing happened. Apparently, the Elder was indeed alright with this.
Mei Chao Bing heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he had expected more trouble in convincing the Elder, he was also happy that it hadn't come to that. Right now, they had to act swiftly. Otherwise, if the rumors spread even further, then things would get troublesome. After all, as soon as everybody had heard the original rumor, them giving another account of the story would just seem like trying to cover things up.
Not that he didn't believe that Yang Wu Huang would try to turn things around like that anyway. But with the Elder helping, it shouldn't be too difficult to at least let the other disciples have some doubt about this. If everything went well …
Mei Chao Bing furrowed his brows. There was still one thing he wasn't too sure about. ”Elder Baili, do you think we should tell Yun Bei Fen beforehand?”
Baili Chao huffed. ”As expected, you obviously don't know that child! You better don't try anything with him before you haven't spent at least five years with each other!”
Mei Chao Bing raised his brows. Five years? That was unexpectedly accommodating of him. He would've thought that the Elder would add at least one zero for him to make things difficult. Well, he certainly wouldn't complain about that.
He gave a wry smile nodded. ”Of course, I will head the Elder's teachings. Now … Why don't you think it would be a good idea to inform Yun Bei Fen? Wouldn't it be beneficial if he could play along?”
Baili Chao harrumphed. ”What play along? Do you think that child can play along? He'd just ruined things! No, it's better you don't tell him even a single word. That way, he can just be his usual self and not give anything away. Otherwise, people would really think we're doing a big play.”
Mei Chao Bing nodded. He couldn't help but think that they were actually doing a big play though. They might be doing a truthful play but still. Just when he wanted to agree and praise the Elder for being wise and having foresight, the door was smashed open and slammed against the wall while a rather disheveled-looking little bunny stormed inside.
”Master! You can't scold senior martial brother Mei! It's all my fault!” He rushed over to Mei Chao Bing and clung to his neck, not even bothering to make sense of the situation first.
Mei Chao Bing raised his brows. It seemed his little bunny had somehow woken up and noticed that he was gone and then figured that his Master was bullying him in his study? He certainly was quite imaginative … Looking at it from this perspective, Elder Baili might be right that it wouldn't be a good idea to inform him of their plan beforehand. If they did … Who knew if he wouldn't get too much into his role and mess things up?
Elder Baili blew his top when he saw his youngest disciple react like this. ”Scold him? What are you even talking about?! As if I'd scold him! I'm a busy person. I don't have time to scold random people!”
Yun Bei Fen looked at his Master and blinked his eyes, still holding onto Mei Chao Bing. To be honest, looking at his Master, he felt that he looked quite idle. And what was with calling senior martial brother Mei random? He wasn't random at all!
Mei Chao Bing glanced at his little bunny's face and could see that things weren't too good. If he said something bad now, who knew if the Elder wouldn't really get angry and refuse to help with the plan that he had already agreed to? He couldn't let that happen!
