Capítulo 866: Chapter 867: Departure!
Night has fallen.
In the north courtyard, in a bedroom under the lamplight, Bai Liu lay on the bed, his face pale, occasionally letting out groans.
Although his hips had been treated with dicine, there were still visible traces of blood.
His eyes flashed with a look of hatred, this grudge, he must avenge no matter what.
He thought of soone who could help him…
At this mont, footsteps sounded at the doorway.
Bai Tianhe walked in, holding a bowl of soup.
With a sigh, Bai Tianhe placed the bowl of soup on the table.
“Liu’Er, this is ginseng soup your mother made for you, have so?” Bai Tianhe’s expression was one of exasperation.
Bai Liu responded with a hum, his expression also filled with resentnt.
The slap from Bai Tianhe indeed left a knot in Bai Liu’s heart.
Seeing Bai Liu still angry, Bai Tianhe could only speak gently, “That slap during the day was harsh, but the pain in my heart was even greater than what you felt. I had no other choice.”
Bai Liu replied sarcastically, “Exactly, as the Grand Elder, if you don’t set a good example in front of the Sect Leader, how will your loyalty be shown?”
Bai Tianhe shook his head and said, “No, if it were in front of the Sect Leader, I wouldn’t need to do this. It’s because of Young Master Xie.”
Bai Liu had been curious about the identity of this Young Master Xie all day and now couldn’t help but ask as his father ntioned him, “Who is this Young Master Xie? Why do the Sect Leader and you care so much about his thoughts?”
Bai Tianhe looked at the doorway, ensuring no one else was there before whispering to his son, “Liu’Er, I’ll tell you the truth, this Young Master Xie is the new master of the Hundred Poison Sect.”
“The new master of the Hundred Poison Sect?” Bai Liu’s face was full of shock.
Bai Tianhe nodded solemnly.
“But isn’t our master the Martial Saint of Zhumu?” Bai Liu asked in confusion.
Bai Tianhe shook his head again and said, “Although the Hundred Poison Sect still publicly respects the Martial Saint of Zhumu as our master, in reality, a few months ago, after the Sect Leader and a few elders returned from Jiangnan, Young Master Xie beca our new master.”
Then, Bai Tianhe recounted the events from months ago, when Sect Leader Bai was no match for Lin Fei and ultimately submitted and pledged allegiance to Lin Fei.
After hearing this, Bai Liu was shocked, only now realizing that when the Sect Leader and his father went to Jiangnan months ago, so many things had happened.
In the end, Bai Tianhe said, “The fact that Young Master Xie is the new master of the Hundred Poison Sect is still a secret and hasn’t been spread outside. The five won you offended today are Young Master Xie’s won. If I hadn’t been harsh with you and slapped you, you might not have survived.”
Bai Liu was secretly alard, realizing that those five celestial beauties were Young Master Xie’s won.
Bai Liu felt an inexplicable jealousy; one person monopolizing several beauties was simply a waste.
“Father, I understand your painstaking efforts now. I will reflect deeply and will not do anything to make you worry ever again.” Bai Liu appeared remorseful and spoke to his father.
Bai Tianhe believed him, seeing his son acknowledge his mistake and understanding his fatherly intentions, he felt gratified.
“Liu’Er, you are injured and need to recover well. Drink the soup and rest for a while!” Bai Tianhe advised his son with concern.
“Got it, father.” Bai Liu replied with a slight smile.
“Then I’ll leave now.” Bai Tianhe was reassured and left the bedroom.
As soon as Bai Tianhe left, the smile on Bai Liu’s face disappeared, his eyes turned exceptionally cold, and his hands clenched into fists as he said through gritted teeth, “Young Master Xie, so you are the new master of the Hundred Poison Sect, no wonder the Sect Leader respects you so much!”
“However, soon you will die without a resting place, the Martial Saint of Zhumu will not let you and the Sect Leader go. Once you’re dead, your won will be mine!”
Saying this, Bai Liu’s eyes were filled with endless ambition and desire.
Two nights later, the moonlight shone on a snowy mountain.
On a rock at the edge of a cliff, stood a black-clad masked figure.
Under the moonlight, he was like a ghost in the darkness.
Soon, a limping figure in white approached the black-clad figure at the cliff.
“Bai Liu pays respects to Housekeeper Wei.” The figure in white bowed respectfully to the black-clad figure.
The man in white was Bai Liu.
“Bai Liu, has anything happened at the Hundred Poison Sect these days?” The masked black-clad man turned, his eyes sharp and the voice carried authority along with an elder’s deanor.
From his voice, it was clear that Housekeeper Wei was an elder.
Bai Liu lowered his head and said, “In response to Housekeeper Wei, Bai Liu has indeed discovered a significant matter these days.”
The elder’s gaze was fixed on Bai Liu, “Speak, what significant matter have you discovered?”
Bai Liu answered, “In the past two days, a man nad Xie Feng arrived at the Hundred Poison Sect, along with his five won. Sect Leader Bai respects him very much, and later, I learned from my father that this Xie Feng is indeed the new master of the Hundred Poison Sect.”
“What did you say, the new master of the Hundred Poison Sect?” The masked elder’s brows furrowed, and a shadow crossed his eyes.
Bai Liu then explained what his father said about Bai’s defeat to Lin Fei in Jiangnan and finally pledged allegiance and respect to Lin Fei as his master.
The masked elder was lost in thought after hearing this.
After a long ti, the masked elder let out a cold laugh, “Heh, unexpectedly, Bai secretly betrayed the master, truly audacious, it seems he’s tired of living.”
“Housekeeper Wei, Bai’s allegiance to Young Master Xie and recognizing him as the master was his own idea. My father wasn’t involved. I hope Housekeeper Wei can explain this to the Martial Saint.” Bai Liu spoke cautiously, addressing Housekeeper Wei.
Housekeeper Wei said, “Bai Liu, rest assured! Even if your father made a mistake, as you are the master’s spy, monitoring the moves of the Hundred Poison Sect, the master will let your father go.”
Bai Liu imdiately expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Martial Saint, thank you, Housekeeper Wei.”
“Bai Liu, let ask you, what is Xie Feng’s purpose in coming to the Western Regions?” Housekeeper Wei looked at Bai Liu.
Bai Liu said; “I have already asked my father, but he doesn’t know either. It seems only Bai knows Xie Feng’s true intentions.”
Then, Bai Liu seed to think of sothing and said, “Housekeeper Wei, do you think he might be here to cause trouble for the Martial Saint?”
Housekeeper Wei’s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent and said, “Then he’s seeking his own death!”
“Bai Liu, go back and continue to keep an eye on this Xie Feng to see what he is up to?”
“Yes, Housekeeper Wei.”
——-
The ti unknowingly arrived for the Martial Saint of Zhumu to summon the major Western Regions sects.
The morning sun shone on the ancient temple of the Hundred Poison Sect, illuminating the spacious square.
This ti, to attend the eting at Celestial Roc Peak with the Martial Saint of Zhumu, Bai chose elite experts from the sect, numbering over a hundred.
Lin Fei and Qin Zimo’s five won also appeared in the square, but the five won had already changed into n’s clothing, and their long hair was wrapped in white cloth.
Although they looked like boys, their skin was fair, and their faces were too handso; upon closer inspection, one could see they were all beautiful won.
White elder approached Lin Fei and said, “Young Master Xie, all the experts have been selected, can we set off for Celestial Roc Peak?”
Lin Fei’s eyes sparkled, pointing towards the Ice and Snow Mountain Range in the distance, “Let’s go!”
