Chapter 378 “The End of the Bai House (3)”

Can it be Bai Yan still has another identity?
Towards the ignorance before his eyes, Lu Zifeng could only sneer in self mockery: “Our Holy Land’s status is well known by all, but do you know there’s also a Holy Island within our grounds? Our sect leader wouldn’t even bestow that place to his own daughter, yet he would gift it to Miss Bai Yan over there! So, do you now understand the importance of her position without the Holy Land?”
Shuddering at the truth, Bai Zheng Xiang had to keep shaking his head repeatedly to deceive himself from the truth: “Impossible! How can the Lord of the Holy Land be willing to give it to an outsider when he wouldn’t even give it to his own daughter?”
“Ho,” closing his eyes in regret, Lu Zifeng had to take a moment to collect his composure, “Miss Bai Yan’s alchemy is already at the level of being beyond comprehension, so much so that even the three chief elders had to turn to her for help. So tell me, how can the Holy Land not keep her firmly appeased when she’s so capable?”
This was also the reason why Lu Zifeng’s shifu would explicitly remind him not to offend the owner of the Holy Island back then. Offending a alchemist of such caliber was equivalent to self-genocide, it’s the dumbest thing one can make!
Like a lightning strike slamming right down into his soul, Bai Zheng Xiang’s body trembled uncontrollably until his gaze fell upon the reddish figure far away from himself.
NO!
I can’t die!
That’s right, I still have a final life-saver I didn’t use yet!
Once again filled with light from those gloomy and lifeless eyes, the bastard instantly shot up from the ground to make a dash for the girl’s side. However, before he could make it any further – only a few steps – the guards from the Holy Land had already stopped him in his tracks.
“Yan Yan, I am wrong, I really know I am wrong now. No matter what I am still your biological father. Please overlook it this time, I promise you I will definitely change my ways.” Pleading with his eyes, this shameless bastard continues to beg for his life even in this situation.
Yet, the one to respond first here wasn’t the woman herself, it was Di Cang who got irritated by the relentless entanglement. Shooting a cold-hard glare at the bastard, this demon lord instantly causes the coward to shrink back in fear. Fortunately things didn’t get any further than this because Bai Yan had finally cut in.
“Now that you mentioned my biological father, I do have something to announce…” Waving a yellow sheet in the air with her hand, Bai Yan proudly presents it before the crowd, “This letter was left to me by my mother Lan Yue. I only got my hands on it recently thanks in part to Her Highness the Dowager’s effort.”
With that said, her gaze then slowly fell upon her so called “biological father”, which for some reason greatly rattled the person in question.
“The letter is from my wife?” His voice trembles as he spoke because an ominous feeling was quickly taking hold within his heart….
Ignoring whatever expression Bai Zheng Xiang was making, Bai Yan continues on with her story: “My mother only got sick back then due to Yu Rong’s mother poisoning her! That’s right everyone, its Wei Fang who murdered her!”
Wei Fang was the real name of Old Madam Yu. Prior to Yu Rong sending for her mother to live with them, the old grandma had always been addressed as such.
“Impossible!” Bai Zheng Xiang was ghastly in his complexion, “She couldn’t have poisoned her!”
Perhaps, maybe, just maybe even this bastard was having a difficult time believing his own words. If it was in the past where he held an unwavering trust towards his wife and the old lady, then yes, he would’ve waved this off as nothing more than an attempt at slandering the pair. However, things have changed, he’s seen their true faces already!
