Volume 5, Chapter 27 – The Bai Family’s Ancestor… Makes Bai Bin Quite Displeased

Was it to obtain more information about Bai Lianyue? Or to better control the Bai family in order to find the elf girl? Or perhaps due to some other mischievous thought?

Whatever the reason, young Ailiya decided to properly establish her identity as an “ancestor”~

Actually, despite her young age, Ailiya had quite extensive experience when it came to acting mature and managing subordinates.

It’s worth noting that during the past few years in the Veiled Domain, since Lianyue barely managed anything and Sister Yelena was rarely present, Ailiya had served as the little manager of the Terrabond Lineage for quite a long time to create better living conditions for her sisters.

Punching vassals and kicking Crimson Hex beasts.

After making this decision, Ailiya brought out the terrifying presence she once used to manage the Corrupted Beast horde.

Combined with Bai Shangxue’s deliberate indulgence and the spirit tablet’s close cooperation, young Ailiya’s plan proceeded extremely smoothly.

…… ……

One week later, at the training ground in the Bai family residence.

As soon as dawn broke, the training ground doors were pushed open forcefully, and a group of young Bai family members in training clothes rushed in urgently. They hastily picked up the wooden swords that had been prepared in advance, took up their stances, and began training.

“Hurry, we must perfect yesterday’s sword techniques today!”

“What should we do? This feels a bit difficult! Although they’re all ancestral sword techniques with similar stances, why is the one the ancestor taught so much more complex?”

“Complex, but also powerful! The ancestor definitely knows the authentic sword technique! The version we learned before has clearly lost many important elements, hasn’t it?”

“Stop chattering and practice quickly! If we don’t meet standards today, the ancestor will punish us! The ancestor may be beautiful, but her aura when angry is terrifying enough to kill!”

“And those punishment methods… sheesh.”

“Ahhh!! I don’t want to have nightmares!!”

……

Just thinking about the silver-haired ancestor’s special nightmare punishment method made all the young Bai family members shudder involuntarily.

Although Ailiya’s punishment method didn’t physically hurt them like other punishments might, the mental impact was much harder for them to endure. Who could tolerate a whole night of constant nightmares?!

To avoid punishment, these Bai family disciples who had been negligent in their practice for so long became unprecedentedly diligent.

Whatever the case, no one dared to make the ancestor unhappy=-=

……

Meanwhile, in the spectator stands of the training ground, Bai Bin, who had been standing there silently, wore an increasingly complex expression.

“Ancestor, huh?”

Recalling Ailiya’s behavior these past days, Bai Bin couldn’t help but clench his fists.

She had displayed overwhelming strength to crush everyone, And directly went to the elders’ council hall to intimidate them? She even carried the spirit tablet around everywhere… And constantly showed off her extraordinary sword skills…

As a result, in just two or three days, she had most of the Bai family completely under her control?

“Truly impressive…” Bai Bin muttered sarcastically.

While muttering, after observing the sword techniques practiced by the younger generation, Bai Bin frowned in confusion.

These sword techniques, Though based on traditional Bai family techniques, no mistake? But why… It somehow felt like he could see that guy’s shadow…

Seeming to recall something, Bai Bin anxiously clenched his fist.

Just as Bai Bin was frowning, watching the training ground with displeasure, a slightly puzzled voice came from behind him.

“Honored Ancestor being so powerful, isn’t that a good thing?”

Hearing this, Bai Bin glanced sideways and looked at his eldest son Bai Xu, who had just arrived at the training ground carrying a wooden sword.

“With an ancestor who has a physical body, her presence will surely help the Bai family maintain dominance over the other three great families. Isn’t that good? Moreover, the younger generation’s strength seems to be improving significantly.”

Looking at his peers practicing diligently in the training ground, Bai Xu remarked with emotion.

In response, Bai Bin scoffed dismissively:

“But the problem is, such a powerful ancestor wasn’t summoned by you.”

As he spoke, Bai Bin shot a piercing glare at Bai Xu like a sharp sword.

Although Bai Xu had summoned an ancestral spirit of Divine Departure Realm, compared to this ancestor who possessed a physical body and will, the gap was still too great.

In Bai Bin’s view, not being the top priority… that was failure.

“After spending so many resources on you… in the end, an ancestral spirit summoned by a minor branch family girl turned out to be stronger than yours, hehe…”

Hearing this, seemingly feeling the disappointment in his father’s tone, Bai Xu could only take a deep breath, not knowing how to respond.

Only after a moment of silence did he slowly say:

“Father, the Honored Ancestor said that she would comprehensively evaluate suitable heirs for the family head position. She won’t make Bai Lin an heir just because Bai Lin summoned her.”

However, after hearing this, Bai Bin’s gaze grew even colder.

His hand gripping the railing squeezed so hard that it deformed the metal.

Bai Bin’s heart was filled with rage at this moment.

It’s worth noting that currently, he was the head of the entire Bai family!

Yet due to insufficient strength, he found himself in the awkward predicament of having the title but no real power. The family’s actual highest authority had always been controlled by his grandfather, Bai Shangxue.

He had thought that as Bai Shangxue’s health gradually deteriorated, he could gradually take control.

But now another ancestor had appeared?

Reaⅾ οո КαtRеαⅾіոɡСаfе

All these years of hard work, constantly persuading the old man, finally getting him to value Bai Xu a little more. And now? Everything had to start over… that old man actually said to let the Honored Ancestor decide the heir?

Damn it!!

I am the family head!

The more he thought about it, the more resentment built up around Bai Bin, and the temperature of the air around him seemed to drop continuously.

Seeing his father like this, Bai Xu could only sigh helplessly.

“I’ll go train now…”

With that, Bai Xu turned to leave.

Although after Bai Lin summoned the Honored Ancestor, many in the family generally believed the ancestor would consider Bai Lin as the family heir, from the current situation, the Honored Ancestor was clearly going to re-evaluate the younger generation.

If that was the case, he still had a chance.

Indeed, the ancestral spirit he summoned wasn’t as good as Bai Lin’s.

But in other aspects, Bai Xu believed he wouldn’t lose to her.

He, not Bai Lin, was the best candidate for family head.

Therefore, Bai Xu didn’t want to linger with his father for too long, but instead planned to quickly go to the training ground to fully grasp the combat techniques taught by the Honored Ancestor yesterday.

However, just as Bai Xu was about to leave, another figure pushed open the door and entered the spectator stands of the training ground.

The moment he saw this figure, Bai Xu immediately showed surprise.

“Uncle? You’re back.”

Indeed, the man now appearing in Bai Xu’s field of vision was none other than Bai Chengwu, who had previously gone to Xiwan City to investigate.

“Uncle, did you find that elf?” Bai Xu asked curiously.

At these words, Bai Bin also slowly turned his head, casting a sharp gaze at Bai Chengwu.

“How did things go?”

The matter Bai Bin referred to was naturally the series of actions to warn the Yu family.

However, faced with questions from father and son, Bai Chengwu shook his head and replied in a low voice.

“It didn’t go well. I haven’t found the elf yet…”

Hearing this, Bai Bin’s face grew even darker.

“Then why aren’t you continuing your task, continuing your search? Why come back?”

“Because I found another very important person, so I brought her back first.”

“A very important person? Who?”

“Well…”

Faced with this question, Bai Chengwu didn’t respond directly, but hesitated, even anxiously looking behind him and actively stepping aside.

The next instant, Bai Bin and his son’s eyes suddenly contracted.

Under their astonished gaze, a beautiful figure in black emerged from behind Bai Chengwu.

—”Yo, Uncle, Cousin… long time no see~”—

Bai Bin: “Bai, Bai, Bai Xingwu?!!”
