Volume 5, Chapter 14 – The Bai Family’s Doubts and Plan to Warn the Yu Family

Watching the Tianen Financial Group’s private car gradually disappear into the distance, the smile on Bai Bin’s face slowly faded, replaced instead by a chilling coldness.

The surrounding air seemed to plummet to freezing point in that instant, and many of the Bai family’s attendants trembled and lowered their heads under the influence of this cold atmosphere.

“Bai Lianyue…”

Repeating this name, Bai Bin’s expression grew increasingly gloomy.

The humiliation he had suffered because of that waste back then was something Bai Bin could never forget to this day.

At the same time, he never expected that this name, which had disappeared from his ears for many years, would suddenly emerge today from the mouth of a Tianen Financial Group executive.

That guy Bai Lianyue?

How exactly did he come to know people from Tianen Financial Group?

And what did the people from Tianen Financial Group want with him?

Raising his hand to stroke his chin, Bai Bin couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

“Do you have any thoughts?”

Glancing sideways at his most intelligent child, Bai Xu, Bai Bin asked indifferently.

To this, Bai Xu very honestly shook his head:

“I’ve never even met that person, so how could I have any thoughts?”

“True enough.”

Bai Bin nodded noncommittally.

Although he didn’t understand what Tianen Financial Group wanted with people close to Bai Lianyue, Bai Bin still planned to arrange for a few people to impersonate such connections.

What if, after being expelled from the Bai family, Bai Lianyue had coincidentally helped someone from Tianen Financial Group? And what if Tianen Financial Group wanted to find Bai Lianyue’s friends to repay that favor? Then wouldn’t their Bai family strike it rich?

Of course, since he was arranging this, he’d need to think it through carefully later.

But before that…

Turning to look at Bai Xu, Bai Bin asked seriously:

“How is your cultivation of the Ancestral Spirit Summoning Arts progressing?”

“Very smoothly.”

“The time for the spirit summoning ceremony is approaching. You must perform well.”

Summoning ancestral spirits to assist in battle was the most traditional fighting method of the Bai family.

To become the head of the Bai family, one had to be able to summon powerful ancestral spirits.

Only then could one gain the support of other clan members.

“Strive to summon an ancestral spirit of the Divine Martial Realm, or even the Divine Departure Realm… Make your great-grandfather look at you with new eyes. Only then will that old man forget about that bastard Bai Xingwu and focus his attention on you instead.”

“Understood, Father.”

Bai Xu lowered his head and replied respectfully.

While answering, Bai Xu couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Although Bai Xingwu had left the Bai family as a child and wandered about with that waste of a brother-in-law, before Xingwu left the Bai family, Bai Xu had had many interactions with this sister and had often received training together from their great-grandfather.

Bai Xu felt that period of training could be described as the lowest point of his life.

Despite being hailed as a genius, he had been consistently overshadowed by the younger Bai Xingwu throughout the training process. During sparring matches, he had even had his front teeth knocked out by her…

All the clan members’ attention, even their great-grandfather’s, had been drawn to her.

Perhaps it was because of Bai Xingwu’s performance during that time that their great-grandfather still couldn’t forget about her to this day.

He even refused to believe that she was already dead…

“Don’t worry, Father. I will prove to Great-grandfather that I am more outstanding than Bai Xingwu.”

Bai Xu said seriously.

His seriousness was accompanied by strong confidence.

Now, before even turning 25, he already possessed strength approaching the Divine Martial Realm. His cultivation talent was not even inferior to their great-grandfather’s.

Bai Xu believed that even if Bai Xingwu were still alive and cultivating alongside him, she couldn’t possibly reach his current level!

His decade-plus of hard work hadn’t been in vain…

“Good to have confidence.”

Bai Bin nodded.

“Go rest and prepare for now. Tonight, your great-grandfather plans to conduct training for your generation. Make sure to perform well when the time comes.”

“Understood, Father.”

After a few brief, polite exchanges, Bai Xu left first, walking toward the Bai family’s private residence.

After Bai Xu left, Bai Bin began listening to reports from his subordinates.

When his subordinate revealed the latest intelligence about the old master’s physical condition, Bai Bin’s eyebrows rose slightly.

“The old master’s physical condition… has improved?”

“Yes, Family Head.”

The butler respectfully replied in a low voice:

“According to the attending physician, those petals indeed have miraculous effects and can effectively suppress the spiritual power erosion within the old master’s body.”

“Then hurry up and get more petals!”

“Ah, Family Head, that might be somewhat difficult.”

The butler shook his head awkwardly.

“Difficult? Isn’t the funding I arranged for you sufficient?”

“It’s no longer a matter of funding. Because of the petals’ healing effects, many holders have already sold or consumed their petals. Most of the petals from that scene have also been seized by the government for research. As a result, even with money, petals are now impossible to obtain…”

“…”

Faced with this response, Bai Bin fell silent for a moment before asking seriously again:

“Then… what about that elf from back then? Do we have any leads on her?”

The elf girl who had appeared at the Cangdu concert possessed incredibly powerful healing abilities.

Not only did the petals surrounding her have healing effects, but she herself seemed to possess vast life force, capable of easily curing a university student’s chronic illness and granting him over ten years of cellular vitality!

If they could find that elf, all problems would be solved.

“We’re still searching diligently.”

“Then increase our efforts! I’m telling you! We must find her before the government and the other three families! Then bring that elf back to me!”

“Understood, Family Head. Oh, Family Head, there’s one more matter I need to report to you.”

“What?”

“Regarding Qianyu Di, please take a look.”

With that, the butler handed over documents he had prepared in advance to Bai Bin.

After receiving the documents and reading them carefully, Bai Bin’s expression visibly grew increasingly cold.

“That old bastard Yu Qiuyuan still won’t give up? He’s still investigating even now… If this continues, he might actually uncover something.”

Crumpling the documents in his hand, a ball of crimson flames ignited, directly reducing the papers to nothing.

To prevent the old master from continuing to think about Bai Xingwu and giving up on leaving the inheritance to that bastard, he had put in considerable effort back then.

Originally, he hadn’t wanted to involve the Yu family, but unfortunately, that young master of the Yu family was too stubborn, persistently trying to investigate the truth behind Bai Lianyue’s car accident, forcing him to take action and eliminate the boy.

And that old guy Yu Qiuyuan? He was also being so tactless, still investigating?

Our Bai family is one of the ancient clans… Although our strength is much diminished and we can’t act with complete impunity, we’re still not something you worldly powers can touch…

Since you’re being so tactless?

Then don’t blame me.

You’re nothing but nouveau riche with a bit of money.

After muttering contemptuously to himself, a chilling coldness quietly seeped from Bai Bin’s eyes.

“My brother went to Xiwan City, didn’t he?”

“Yes, Lord Bai Chengwu went to Xiwan City to search for that elf. After all, based on feedback from Cangdu Station, that elf had previously intended to go to Xiwan City.”

“Perfect timing then. Notify Bai Chengwu and have him warn the Yu family while he’s at it. Let them know what the consequences of opposing us will be.”

“Understood, Family Head.”
