Chapter 263 - A Generation’s Expert was Directionally Challenged!

“Before asking for someone’s name, shouldn’t you report your own first?” replied Ling Chuxi as she narrowed her eyes and looked at the man coldly. The man did not seem to have any evil intentions but him asking for her name so rudely like this was not behavior that was to her liking at all.

“Others, call me, Baili Han,” answered the man succinctly.

Ling Chuxi was stunned. Baili Han?! Was this not the person who was on the first page of the book of competitors that Feng Yan Union was selling? Wind Cloud Academy’s real number one expert. Rumors say that he had already experienced Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body and now that she met him, Ling Chuxi felt that such rumors were indeed true. He was indeed an expert who had experienced Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body and it was no wonder why Feng Yan Union hypothesized he would obtain first place in the fighting ring competition.

“Ling Chuxi.” Since the other party had already reported his name, Ling Chuxi also reported hers.

“Oh. So, you are the one, kidnapped over, by my, father, from White Stone Academy,” said Baili Han in sudden comprehension.

‘Father?! Wait a minute!’ Ling Chuxi’s eyes widened. She was indeed kidnapped over from White Stone Academy by the bald, fat dean. Since Baili Han just said that his father had done so, this meant that the bald, fat dean was Baili Han’s father! Ling Chuxi thought about the dean and his double chin as well as the Mediterranean bald spot on his head and then did a double take at the handsome Baili Han who was standing before her and was suddenly terrified! How was it that the two were actually father and son? Indeed, she only knew that the dean was a fatty and a baldy, she had never paid close attention to his family name.

“You must take after your mother,” proclaimed Ling Chuxi in utmost seriousness.

“Yes, I do. How is it, that you, know this?” asked Baili Han, feeling perplexed but still, his speech patten with odd pauses after every one or two words remained.

“If it’s possible, could you not talk like that? Just listening to you talking like that makes me feel so much more tired than the usual amount of tiredness I feel,” asked Ling Chuxi. She felt a little headache coming on thanks to Baili Han’s manner of speech. It really was too tiring. He had to pause after saying a few words every time. It gave people the feeling that he could not quite catch his breath. Of course she could tell that he took after his mother. As long as anyone observing was a human being with seeing eyes, they would definitely be able to tell. Baili Han did not look the slightest bit like the dean. His mother must be a beauty and that was how she could have given birth to a man as handsome as Baili Han.

“I anticipate, competing, with you,” replied Baili Han with a solemn expression, still keeping to his halted manner of speech as he turned around to leave. “See you.”

“Where are you going?” Ling Chuxi casually asked.

“I’m returning to the academy,” replied Baili Han who was walking up ahead.

Ling Chuxi looked at Baili Han’s determined footsteps and was secretly speechless. After some time, she couldn’t hold it in any longer and called out, “Are you sure you’ll be able to return to the capital going in that direction?”

Baili Han’s steps halted as he turned around to look at Ling Chuxi with a frown, “Did I go in the wrong direction, again?”

This word ‘again’ was really mysterious to Ling Chuxi right now. She also frowned as she looked at Baili Han. “Could it be, you, could it be that you can’t recognize roads very well?” asked Ling Chuxi even though she felt that it was too incomprehensible even as she asked it. However, seeing Baili Han’s expression, he really looked as though he was not able to recognize the way back to the capital. Ling Chuxi deduced this because the direction in which he was moving was the total opposite direction of the capital.

“Why, yes. How, did, you, know?” replied Baili Han seriously and sincerely as he looked at Ling Chuxi.

The corner of Ling Chuxi’s lips twitched. Directionally challenged! Baili Han, skilled to the point of being a generation’s expert, was actually directionally challenged to such an extent! Wasn’t this too shocking?!

“Yesterday, I saw, that nearby, there were lightning strikes from the Ninth Heavens. So then, I came, to look for it. But, it took, me, so long, because, I went, the wrong way, three times.” Baili Han paused after every few words he spoke, but at any rate, he still managed to express himself clearly.

“You are returning to join the fighting ring competition, aren’t you? Come on then, I’ll bring you back to the capital. I’m worried that the competition will be over by the time you find your way back,” said Ling Chuxi very helplessly.
