Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The events of the past few days felt like a lifetime’s worth of experiences.
First, they encountered the white monkey and narrowly escaped danger. Then, they met their Master, who helped them achieve a breakthrough in their martial arts cultivation. Today, despite the sad revelation about the Wu family, Wu Zimo found himself in a surprisingly good mood.
Throughout their lives, they had endured constant bullying and neglect. Even the Wu family had never shown them any care or concern. The only thing they could rely on was the Wu family name to s.h.i.+eld them from harm.
But today was different.
Their Master stood before them, defending their honor.
It was the first time they had ever experienced such protection.
Someone was finally looking out for them.
If they could continue following their Master in the future, their lives would have meaning.
To the two brothers, their Master was like a second parent.
All the grievances and melancholy they had felt previously were swept away, and a foolish smile adorned Wu Zimo’s face. “Master, you’re truly amazing.” Wu Ziming nodded in agreement.
Gu Chaoyan cleared her throat, feeling slightly uneasy and unsure of how to respond.
Her ears turned a shade of red.
She straightened her posture and continued walking ahead.
With Wu Zimo and Wu Ziming now without a home, it was her responsibility to care for them in the future. This was something she had antic.i.p.ated. After all, she could discern their predicament from the words of these young men.
For the next few days, they would find lodging within the Bai Clan.
The Bai Clan was not known for its progressive thinking, so many things were not particularly convenient.
However…
There was nothing in the world that couldn’t be accomplished, except for those with hidden agendas.
As long as one devised a plan, anything was still possible.
“Which family in the Bai Clan has the largest number of courtyards?” Gu Chaoyan inquired.
Keeping pace with Gu Chaoyan, Wu Zimo pondered the Bai Clan’s situation, from the Si Family to the Zhang Family, and then responded, “The Bai Family.”
“The Bai Clan serves as the main lineage within the Bai Clan. They have the most members and enjoy the highest status. Additionally, their family is the most prosperous. However, due to the lack of offspring in recent years, many of their courtyards are vacant. Consequently, the Bai Family should possess the largest number of courtyards.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded in understanding.
Since the Bai family had the most courtyards, that’s where they would go.
“Lead the way,” Gu Chaoyan instructed solemnly.
Wu Zimo nodded, and the four of them proceeded. While they were unsure of their Master’s intentions, they faithfully followed his guidance.
The Bai Clan was situated at the heart of the Bai Clan, surrounded by other households.
Yet, the Bai family’s courtyard exhibited simplicity and understatement. It was no wonder they held such esteemed status.
“Go and inform the Bai Family that I wish to meet with the head of the clan. Inform them that I have brought a substantial supply of pills, Dharma artifacts, and enchanted armaments from the Haitian Market, ” Gu Chaoyan stated frankly.
The Haitian Market?
Their jaws dropped in astonishment.
They had heard of places like the Haitian Market, but to them, it was merely a distant realm that resided in their imaginations. They had never set foot there and had no means of doing so.
It was Hong Fang who took the initiative to deliver the message. He went to inform the Bai Family, and the family’s servants hurriedly relayed the information.
After a while, a stir arose within the Bai family. It seemed that the head of the family had been alerted.
“Who wishes to see me?” the head of the Bai family emerged and inquired.
“It is I,” Gu Chaoyan responded calmly, stepping forward and bowing respectfully to the Master of the Bai Family..
