Chapter 450
Chapter 450 “Medicine Sect (1)”
“Mother, this little uncle is so pitiful, why don’t we help him?” Tugging at his mother’s sleeve, Bai Xiachen’s bright baby eyes were filled with sympathy.
Since Bai Yan would rarely refuse the little steambun’s request, it didn’t take much for her to nod that head: “You can follow me for the time being, but you must listen to me on the road and can’t act without my authorization. Can you do that?”
Changing from that lonely expression mere moments ago, a fair blooming smile instantly bursts forth from that dollish face, “I can!”
“It’s getting late,” shifting her gaze upwards, Bai Yan takes the lead, “Let’s go before the sun goes down.”
……
In comparison to the secluded road that the party took, the entrance to the Medicine Sect was rather noisy right now. Even so, that doesn’t mean just anyone could get into the place – they need an invitation.
Fortunately Ren Yi thought of this ahead of time. Right before the elder left, he specifically handed over the slip to the woman, thus allowing her to bypass the two guards smoothly.
“Mother, is this the Medicine Sect? It’s quite different from what I imagined it to be,” the little steambun was rather taken aback by the bustling bazaar that appeared before his eyes.
First rubbing her son’s head over that remark, Bai Yan patiently explains the reasoning: “This is not the real Medicine Sect yet, it’s only the outer perimeter town used by them to trade and such. Think of it like a capital city and a palace, one stays at the edge while the other stays at the centre.”
Making a faintly understanding nod, the kid didn’t care whether or not he got it: “Okay, I will listen to you Mother.”
Amused by the boy’s obvious confusion, Bai Yan only smiled at him without pointing that out. She’s more concerned with a certain face at the moment, specifically someone called Bai Zhanpeng who lives right here in the Medicine Sect.
Forget it, the day of the convention is still not here yet. Meeting later on that date is the same anyways.
……
Medicine Sect.
Within the inner temple of this grandiose place, a certain middle-aged man was currently sitting crossed legged with his eyes closed when he overheard a voice outside his door.
“Come in,” slowly opening those eyes, the one speaking was none other than the mentioned Bai Zhanpeng.
Creak!
“Young master, I have something to report.” Respectful in his tone, this man in green appears quite excited in his demeanor.
“What is it,” Bai Zhanpeng frowned and asked.
“My lord, regarding the matter of observing the one you mentioned before. I have now gotten news of something great regarding the Miss.”
Nowadays, whenever this man would hear of any news related to Bai Yan’s welfare ever since returning to the Medicine Sect, he would instantly tighten up because he’s well aware of what sort of treatment the girl went through during her youth.
“Young Master, according to the information in my hand, Miss Bai Yan is in fact not a true daughter of Bai Zheng Xiang, rather a adopted one entrusted to his wife Lan Yue through someone she knew.”
BANG!
The mindset of this young lord instantly exploded, throwing his brain into a state of emptiness.
What did he say?
Isn’t biological? But rather a daughter entrusted to Lan Yue?
“Is this news accurate?” Slamming that hand onto the table, Bai Zhenpang’ handsome face was a blistering red due to how hard he was breathing.
“It’s absolutely true!” The guard respectfully replies, “This news was left behind by the last will of Lan Yue before her passing, and was confirmed again by the Dowager of the Liu Huo Kingdom!”
