Xu Xue Ning was indifferent to Auntie Yi’s shocked reaction because she had already predicted it. It was a big deal that she had brought home a man for the first time after all.
Therefore, it was impossible not to foresee Auntie Yi’s reaction. Actually, forget about bringing a man home—the number of men she knew was so few that she could count them on the fingers of both hands.
And those whom she was close enough to let into her house were even fewer. None, actually.
Since Xu Xue Ning had moved here to Xing Zhou city, she had never brought anyone home, not even women. This was maybe one of the reasons that she had already expected this kind of reaction and question from Auntie Yi.
Xu Xue Ning walked towards Auntie Yi. “This is a person to whom I owe a great deal of gratitude. Could you please bring the best tea that we have to the living room?”
Auntie Yi was still stunned. She did not expect her young mistress Xu Xue Ning’s man to be her benefactor. She started to control herself and carefully inspected Bai Chen from head to toe.
Once she had seen that he was just a young man aged around 18 to 20 years old, she let out a sigh. It looked like this man was really a benefactor to the young mistress.
She sighed because when she saw Xu Xue Ning with Bai Chen, not only had she been surprised, confused and curious, but there was also another thought that had come along with it.
The thought of how the man the young mistress had brought back with her... was actually her boyfriend!
But now that she knew that he was not, how could she not let out a sigh? Xu Xue Ning would turn 25 years old this year. It was only normal that Auntie Yi, who had been taking care of her all this time, would be concerned about Xu Xue Ning’s marriage situation.

She could not help but think this many times. She had even asked Xu Xue Ning’s mother, her mistress, many times to find the young mistress a proper man to marry.
But every time she mentioned this to her mistress, the only answer she got was the mistress’s great sigh.
It was obvious that even the mother could not do anything.
‘But to find a man that would be good enough to stand beside the young mistress’s incomparable beauty is extremely difficult.’ Auntie Yi sighed once again before she nodded to acknowledge the request from Xu Xue Ning.
After that, she walked back to the kitchen with her orange juice and cookies.
“This way, please, Mr. Bai Chen.”
Xu Xue Ning looked at Bai Chen apologetically after seeing that Auntie Yi had already walked back into the kitchen.
The reason why she looked at him apologetically was that Auntie Yi did put her best effort into welcoming him even though she had already told her that he was someone she owed her gratitude to.
She could not just stand there without apologizing because, in her eyes, Bai Chen was a Legendary Realm cultivator.
Was that not noble?
Was that not powerful?
She knew it very well. He might be angry with what she said, but she still had to say it. The reason why she did not introduce him more properly was that he had told her to speak normally with him.
Speaking normally also meant behaving normally. There was no need to treat him like an elevated cultivator or anything.
Xu Xue Ning was aware of this. She understood that treating him the way she did in the cultivator world was not necessary here in normal society.
Of course, it was not her decision to treat him this way. It was his call. She was only doing what he wanted her to do.
However, once a Legendary Realm cultivator, always a Legendary Realm cultivator. It was only normal that she felt the need to apologize.
But Bai Chen did not think like Xu Xue Ning did. He did not give it much attention. He did not understand her apologetic gaze that was directed at him. He did not even ask about it.
He followed her to the house’s living room, which was not too far away. Actually, it was less than ten steps away.
Xu Xue Ning opened the door to the living room and invited Bai Chen into the room politely like she had done when inviting him into the house.
Inside the living room, there were good quality and expensive-looking sofa, several beautiful photos of nature hanging on the walls, and a big TV screen attached to the wall.
There was a cartoon show with a fat orange cat playing on the screen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBai Chen halted his feet after following Xu Xue Ning into the room when he saw the person who was watching the cartoon.
Xu Er Er was watching the orange cat happily on the sofa. She was clearly enjoying it.
However, the person who certainly made Bai Chen halt his steps was not the cute little Xu Er Er, but the woman who was sitting next to the little girl on the sofa.
She possessed a beautiful face that was colder than any other person’s. She was none other than Xu Xin Tong!
The Xu Xin Tong whom he had saved from an assassin last Saturday.
Bai Chen went silent. He had never expected to see her here. This was truly a coincidence, and a strange one too.
When he had seen Xu Xin Tong, he had thought that she looked a lot like someone he knew. He had not been able to figure it out at the time. However, at this point, it was impossible for him not to realize it.
Because Xu Xin Tong looked a lot like the person standing not so far from him, Xu Xue Ning!
If this was not a strange coincidence, nothing else was.
‘It’s possible that she’s Xu Xue Ning’s sibling or a relative,’ Bai Chen thought, while also thinking that Xu Xin Tong probably could not remember him.
When he was helping her, he had been a middle-aged man of around 30 years old. That was him before he had traveled back in time.
Now that he was a young 18-year-old boy, he thought she should not be able to remember him. The reason why Xu Xue Ning had recognized that he was the same person as before was that she was a cultivator.
It did not seem like Xu Xin Tong was also a cultivator. This was Bai Chen’s conclusion, and his conclusions were usually correct. Xu Xin Tong really was not a cultivator. She looked up at Xu Xue Ning, and then at Bai Chen.
Her cold, beautiful face suddenly gave way to a surprised facial expression. Her eyes looked fixedly at Bai Chen, while she was thinking that he looked like the man who had saved her from Hei Chang, the great assassin. Though the age was not correct, at the very least, they looked alike.
‘Maybe he’s that man’s relative.’ She could not help but think this.End of Chapter 155
