Children of Loulan

Chapter 260 Not That Kind of Relationship

"Is there anything going on today?"

Mo Ming asked again, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Bayer remained silent, just staring out the window quietly, as if he had lost interest in everything around him.

Mo Ming felt very confused. He had never seen Bayer so depressed.

Suddenly, the medicine in Bayer's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The sound woke Mo Ming up. He looked down and saw medicine residue all over the ground.

Bayer also subconsciously turned around and quickly picked up the medicine bottle on the ground, "Oh, the medicine is spilled, wait a minute, I'll get another bottle!" After saying that, he hurried away, leaving Mo Ming standing there with a puzzled look on his face.

Before Mo Ming could call her, she ran away. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, with an inexplicable worry in his heart.

In fact, Mo Ming had asked the servants here these days and learned that Bayer had recently been learning martial arts with the prince's personal guard. And it was heard that the guard was obedient to her in order to make her happy. He even bought some cakes and small items from time to time to please her.

Recalling Bayer's unnatural expression just now, Mo Ming wondered in his heart: Did the two of them have a quarrel? This thought made him feel a little uneasy.

Just as he was still thinking hard, Bayer came back to him like a whirlwind.

Mo Ming looked at her and asked with concern, "What happened to you today? You look like you have a lot on your mind. Can you tell me about it?"

Bayer sighed. After spending the past few days together, she knew that Captain Mo was an upright man. She slowly expressed her worries, "Captain Mo, I always feel that there is a strange atmosphere between my sister and Baixi. It seems that something happened between them, but my sister never told me."

Mo Ming was relieved to hear that it was not related to the personal guard. Although he liked the girl in front of him, he would also sincerely wish her a better ending. After all, compared with the prince's personal guard, his conditions were indeed far inferior. As long as she could be happy, everything would be fine.

After hearing about what happened between her sister and Bai Xi, he concealed the disappointment in his eyes and said seriously from a man's perspective: "Perhaps Bai Xi has a crush on your sister and has confessed his love to her, and your sister is confused by this, so she..."

When she heard that Bai Xi might be pursuing her sister, she stood up immediately, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily: "What, he wants to marry my sister? No, I have to go ask!" After that, she was ready to turn around and leave.

Fortunately, Mo Ming was quick this time. He grabbed her and said anxiously, “Wait a minute, don’t be anxious. Sit down and listen to me slowly!”

Bayer looked at him puzzledly and asked, "What else?"

Mo Ming explained calmly: "Think about it, since your sister would consider this matter carefully, it means that she is not completely without ideas."

However, this sentence instantly made Bayer explode. She widened her eyes and retorted in disbelief: "What? How could my sister have any thoughts about him?"

Mo Ming quickly comforted him, “Don’t be so angry yet, just listen to what I have to say first.”

Bayer realized that she was a little too impulsive, so she took a deep breath and nodded to indicate that she was willing to continue listening.

Mo Ming then asked, "Then why do you hate Bai Xi so much? Is it because he has a bad character? Or is he immoral?"

Bayer shook his head and replied firmly, "His character is fine, and his morals are okay. He is not a treacherous or evil person."

Mo Ming frowned and asked again, "Is he the playboy who hangs out in red-light districts?"

Bayer shook his head again and said firmly, "Not really. He is quite upright, otherwise the prince would not have let him be the steward of the palace!"

Mo Ming asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Then why do you hate him so much? If he is a gentleman and not Liu Xiahui, why is he not worthy of your sister?"

Bayer tilted his head and thought for a while, then sighed and said helplessly: "I don't know, I can't explain it, anyway, I just feel weird."

Mo Ming comforted her, “If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. Don’t interfere in emotional matters. Let them decide for themselves. When your sister figures it out, she will tell you.”

After hearing this, Bayer felt that what he said made a lot of sense, so he nodded and sighed, "Well, okay!"

Mo Ming looked at her and couldn't help asking, "Well, I heard that you were practicing martial arts with the prince's personal guard?"

Bayer nodded and replied, "Yes!"

Mo Ming: "What is he like?" Although he had heard from the servants that Ziya was a good person, he still wanted to hear what kind of person Ziya was in her eyes.

Without even thinking, Bayer answered directly: "He is a fool, very stupid, but his martial arts skills are pretty good."

Mo Ming: "Is he good to you?"

Bayer thought about it and said, "It can't be considered a good thing. After all, he is not really kind to me!"

When Mo Ming heard this, his heart tightened, "What do you mean? How come you're not sincere?"

Bayer looked at him seriously, "Because he's nice to me, it's only because he wants me to keep learning martial arts from him. If he makes me unhappy, I'll go on strike. If I don't learn a move from him for three to five days, he'll definitely be anxious!"

Mo Ming became even more confused after hearing this. Since ancient times, hasn't it been apprentices who have been chasing after their masters to learn skills? Why is it that the master is chasing after the apprentice and has to coax him before he is willing to learn?

"Since he is teaching you martial arts, why does he coax you to learn it? In this situation, shouldn't you be chasing him to learn?" Mo Ming couldn't help but ask curiously.

Bayer chuckled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Because this is the order of the prince. Let him teach me for three years. If I still can't beat him after three years, then he will be kicked out of the palace!"

Mo Ming's heart tightened when he heard this, and he said worriedly, "You haven't practiced martial arts for several days. Isn't he anxious? What if you really can't beat him?"

Bayer shrugged nonchalantly and chuckled, "Let him be anxious for a few more days. Anyway, I will learn if I want to. If I don't want to learn, he can't do anything to me. He can only stare at me helplessly!"

After hearing her explanation, Mo Ming suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood their relationship before, and asked doubtfully: "So you two are just simply he taught you martial arts and that's all, there is no other relationship?"

Bayer raised her eyebrows: "Other relationships? What relationships?" She stared at Mo Ming, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and curiosity.

Mo Ming, who suddenly learned the truth, was in a particularly good mood. He shook his head firmly, "Oh, nothing!" He tried to hide his excitement, but the raised corners of his mouth could not suppress his inner joy at this moment. He was secretly glad that it turned out that they were not in that kind of relationship, which made him feel extremely happy.

His eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something important. He decided to wait until he recovered a little bit, then go and test the prince's attitude to see if the prince would agree to let him marry Bayer. This thought made his heart beat faster, full of anticipation.
