Bai Ren wanted to take in Bai Xinyue, and the only problem would have been if Bai Zihan had any issue with it.
The conflict between them wasn’t just some childish fight and could very well end up splitting the clan.
After all, there are many who oppose Bai Zihan, and Bai Xinyue would be the perfect figurehead if she were brought back.
If there were conflicts between the two, there was no way to stop the formation of two factions in the Bai Clan.
It could become a big headache in the future.
But Bai Zihan said that it was okay.
At least, it didn’t seem like Bai Zihan wanted to take Bai Xinyue’s life or anything.
It would be better if Bai Zihan take the initiative to even apologize for the past and make up with Bai Xinyue though it is not likely to happen.
“I know that it is a problem that my mother and I have. Don’t worry, no matter what she plans, I don’t have any plan to do anything to her.”
Bai Ren smiled.
He thought that he had misunderstood Bai Zihan, who he thought of as a troublemaker and someone who can’t take responsibility, not being able to resist even the smallest provocation.
But it seems like he was quite kind, at least to their own clan members, which Bai Ren really appreciated.
One should always be strong toward their enemies and kind to their own.
Bai Ren felt that Bai Zihan truly showed the quality of a true Clan Leader.
“Then we should do that. I will convince everyone to do their best to get Bai Xinyue back to the clan.”
Bai Ren said.
“Then are we done? Can you all go back?”
Bai Zihan asked.
“Haha… Looks like Zihan’er can’t wait to cultivate. Good! That is how the Bai Clan’s heir should be.”
(Whatever makes you happy, old man!)
Bai Zihan thought.
With that, Grand Elder Bai Ren disappeared.
Well, there were too many things that he had to do, and the priority was definitely to please Bai Xinyue and bring her back to Bai Clan.
Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan were still there. And, of course, Lin Xuan would be there.
Until Bai Zihan had gone to cultivate, Lin Xuan would be there to make sure everything was comfortable for him.
As his residence was quite close, it didn’t take much time to reach his courtyard from Bai Zihan’s.
Bai Xueqing looked surprised after all the conversation between Bai Ren and Bai Zihan.
It seems like she indeed lives under a rock and lacks too much information.
She reflected on this behavior of hers.
Chu Ziyan, on the other hand, looked hesitant unlike her usual self.
“Ammm… Bai Zihan!”
Chu Ziyan suddenly said.
Bai Zihan’s eyes furrowed and wondered what was wrong with Chu Ziyan.
“Can I learn the Star Breathing Technique?”
She asked.
This question surprised Bai Zihan.
It wouldn’t have been if the person who asked was Bai Xueqing, who is strangely obsessed with cultivation from very young age.
“I thought you didn’t really care about cultivation?”
Bai Zihan answered.
“Well, not that cultivation is everything, it is good to be strong, no? Things become a lot easier when you are powerful!”
Chu Ziyan continued.
“Why? You give it to Lin Xuan but can’t give it to your wife?”
Chu Ziyan said with a tease.
“Tsk! Don’t go around calling yourself my wife,” Bai Zihan said in an irritated tone.
“Darling! Darling! Please!?”
Chu Ziyan said with pleading eyes and voice.
Even Bai Xueqing looked disgusted by Chu Ziyan’s act.
She never thought that one day she would see her best friend act this way—and that too toward her younger brother.
This was too much for her.
“Okay, okay! Learn it if you want. Lin Xuan can show you.”
Bai Zihan said.
“Really? Thank you, darling!”
Chu Ziyan said happily as she acted like she wanted to kiss Bai Zihan, making him flinch and dodge her.
“Eww… Disgusting. Ziyan, stop it!”
Bai Xueqing wasn’t sure whether Chu Ziyan was just teasing Bai Zihan or not. But this was too much for her to handle.
Seeing her best friend being lovey-dovey with her younger brother? There can’t be a more disgusting feeling than this.
“Hehe… What’s wrong? Jealous of our relationship?”
Chu Ziyan asked.
Bai Xueqing just rolled her eyes.
Chu Ziyan also stopped joking and said seriously.
“Really, thank you. I owe you a big favor.”
Chu Ziyan thanked Bai Zihan.
Bai Zihan didn’t think much about it and even shooed her away.
Not wanting to disturb him any further, Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan left the place, followed by Lin Xuan after Bai Zihan said he would be cultivating in seclusion.
“Haaa… Finally!”
Bai Zihan muttered as he finally got alone time.
[“System!”]
The System interface opened, and he directly went to the reward section without any waste of time.
[Unclaimed Rewards Available]
Defeated Shen Liang: 2000 pointsDefeated Mei Rulan: 1000 points
…
There were many rewards which were mainly System’s points for defeating various parties involved in Shen Liang’s scheme.
Although a bit disappointed that it was all System Points, it had accumulated over 15,000 points, so he didn’t have any complaints.
There was also a big reward for totally destroying Shen Liang’s scheme and overturning it.
That was a 10x Cultivation Speed Card (30 Days).
It was like he had gotten ten of the 10x Cultivation Speed Card (3 Days), which was a very good reward.
Perhaps with this, breaking through to the Golden Core realm was a possibility?
But more than that, there was a huge reward for defeating Elder Shen.
The reward is a Dao Bone. Yes, Dao Bone!
And not just any Dao Bone But Supreme Dao Bone!
Supreme Dao Bone – A Dao Bone of Top quality, offering unparalleled cultivation speed, near-invincible combat power, and the potential to attain the highest realms of cultivation.
Grants the ability to absorb Qi and comprehend Daoist laws at an insane rate, far surpassing ordinary geniuses.
*****
Bai Zihan’s brows lifted ever so slightly.
Even he, someone already used to the broken nature of the System, found this set of rewards a little absurd.
“Supreme Dao Bone? This… this is ridiculous!”
Dao Bones were already legendary, but this one? It was on an entirely different level.
Anyone could become a Top cultivator with a cheat-like power of this Dao Bone.
And now, it was his.
