Chapter 105: The Promise with Sister Bai

“That… I'm sorry, Sister Bai, I was too willful…”

After Sister Bai led me out through a node she remembered, I immediately apologized.

“As long as you know. In short, don’t ever come here again, okay? Promise Sister Bai.”

At this moment, Bai Yu's face was serious, and her words carried a hint of authority.

“Okay!”

I quickly nodded.

“Also, promise Sister Bai that you'll quit the Bakery Club, okay?”

Bai Yu spoke again, taking advantage of the current atmosphere.

“Huh… Huh? Why?”

I suddenly realized, why did Sister Bai suddenly change the subject?

The topic just now had nothing to do with this at all.

I looked at the still-serious Sister Bai with a trace of confusion and bewilderment.

“What? Is that very difficult for you?”

“This… I… The owner of the bakery is very good to me, and the two seniors are also very kind. If I suddenly tell them I'm quitting the club, I…”

I stammered my response, then looked back at Bai Yu.

“Sister Bai, I believe you wouldn’t ask me to do something for no reason, especially something against my will. So, can you tell me why?”

“Can't you do it? Then I’ll change the condition. You must promise me this time.”

Bai Yu looked at my reaction, not at all surprised.

She also felt it was unlikely I would obey her so readily for a reason she couldn't even state.

So, she intentionally proposed such an unacceptable condition, just for the request she was about to make.

“Okay!”

I nodded.

Since Sister Bai didn't force me to choose on that matter, the next condition she proposed must be something she thought I could accept, right?

But Sister Bai was wrong about one thing: if she had insisted, I would have agreed to quit the Bakery Club.

However, I didn't explain this, and I simply agreed, even though Sister Bai hadn't stated the condition yet.

“Promise me you won't have any contact or interaction with Tan Han, okay?”

“Huh?”

I looked at Sister Bai in shock.

I never expected her words to surprise me again.

For Sister Bai to say this, she must have already understood my situation, the circumstances at the bakery, and my relationship with Tan Han.

“Are you going to ask why? But I’m sorry, I still can't tell you the answer to that.”

Bai Yu interrupted the question I was about to ask, but she also answered my question.

That is, she couldn’t give me the answer to my question.

“Is that so?”

I bit my lower lip.

My heart was weighing things.

This kind of behavior usually happens when I’m trying to justify abandoning things I once had.

For example, my life in the past, my family in this life, and that old phone I used for a long time that was supposed to be replaced but was still by my bed.

And now, my wealthy, beautiful, and brilliant senior friend.

It’s hard to give up a friendship, but this is just the beginning.

On the other side is Sister Bai.

I am willing to do this wholeheartedly.

Otherwise, if I don't break it off now, I might lose everything later.

So I chose Sister Bai.

She is my everything right now.

I can sacrifice anything to ensure the longevity of our friendship.

“Okay, I promise you, Sister Bai.”

“You’ve… Huh?”

Bai Yu didn't expect me to agree so readily.

She had been thinking about how to provide psychological counseling for me.

After all, the world that comes after this one would no longer be a world that turns no matter who is missing.

In the worst-case scenario, without the “protagonist” of the script, it's not impossible for the world to stop turning.

She paid such a huge price before to save Xiao Han from being a cannon fodder character in the early stages, wasn't it to prevent Xiao Han from being manipulated by the plot?

Xiao Han is an "Innate Spirit Visionary," and a Conscious One at that.

Such a bug-like existence would be easily disposed of as a destabilizing factor once the script appears.

If it hadn't been for the Imp Academy's discovery, which attracted the attention of the Witch Academy and served as a catalyst for them to intervene in the plot, such an Innate Spirit Visionary would have disappeared from history without causing any ripples.

“Xiao Han, you agreed, right?”

“Of course.”

I looked at the incredible and shocked expression on Sister Bai's face and confirmed it again.

“Good good, Xiao Han, let’s go back.”

After repeatedly confirming my answer, Bai Yu still couldn't hold back her emotions and tried to hug me.

Whether my answer was perfunctory or sincere, as long as I promised, Bai Yu was willing to believe it.

“Huh? We're going back so soon? It's the first day of the new semester, you know.”

I used both hands to push the enthusiastic Sister Bai away, feeling like she was immersed in her own world, moving herself to tears.

It might sound a bit mean to say that, but I didn't even know what was going on, so there was no way I could empathize.

It's not like Sister Bai was reborn to change my tragic future, right?

That sounds too ridiculous to be true!

“Sorry, Xiao Han, I got a little too emotional. Let’s go. Where else do you want to go? I'll take you!”

Bai Yu wiped away the little tears that hadn’t fallen yet and said, “But you are not allowed to go back there!”

“Don’t worry I won’t go back.”

I immediately promised.

“Okay, you have to remember the promise between us. Also, I know that because of Spirit Vision, you can see many things that normal people can’t. If you see another place like that, don't be curious and try to find a way in.”

“Okay, got it. Are there many places like that in the academy?”

I listened carefully to Sister Bai’s advice, but I wondered if it was having the opposite effect.

The more Sister Bai said this, the more my curiosity was piqued again.

“Many Do you think there’s only one Fengqing Street? You're too naive. There are many such places in the academy that can be called Fengqing Street. Even I don’t know how many such places there are in the whole academy. So, Xiao Han, if you see one in the future, you must not go in. If you can, it’s best to report it anonymously. Of course, if you can’t report it anonymously, then just leave it alone, got it?”

“Huh? Can we report them?”

I clearly caught the key point.

“Yes, the academy explicitly prohibits the existence of such places. But there’s always a ‘but,’ which refers to unspoken rules. In short, just stay away, especially as a new student.”

“Got it, I’ll definitely stay away!”

I walked with Sister Bai and promised again.

If it's forbidden, then I won't go.

I thought it was a feature of the academy.

I am a law-abiding person.

I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, and I don't visit brothels.

This was only my first time, and the whole experience made me blush from start to finish.

How could I handle that?

From now on, I'll report places like that every time I see them.

I don’t want to suddenly black out in the academy and wake up in a place like that.

That would be more terrifying than a horror story.

“Let’s go. The day of the new student's arrival also seems to be when the class assignments are officially made. It's time to meet your teacher. She will be with you for many years.”

Bai Yu took out her flying broom and said to me.

After getting on the broom, Bai Yu looked back at the now-invisible Fengqing Street, and a hint of iciness flashed in her eyes.

How dare they tempt Xiao Han?

She had to find a way to shut this place down for a while.

She would go and report them.

Although she felt it was a pity, as this was one of the few streets she knew about, some things should not be allowed to start.

She understood Xiao Han well.

Without some hints and guidance, she wouldn’t believe that this series of events was a coincidence.

Although it was impossible for a new student to open the passage, the final result was that Xiao Han went in.

Just consider it a disaster that befell this place for no reason.

It’s better to be restrained.

She was also thinking of the physical well-being of the wanton people inside.
