Who Brought Him into Chapter 212 - 180: The Missing Materials

Chapter 212: Chapter 180: The Missing Materials

The Bai Family is gone?

It doesn’t seem like a surprising thing.

A family that could sell out its own mbers for profit had long reached its end.

It’s just unexpected that the Bai Family’s downfall happened so quickly.

After the Qin Family in Tianning Prefecture was destroyed, its resources were devoured by several noble families, and without the Qin Family’s restraint, those families gradually revealed their claws.

The already critically ill Bai Family beca a piece of at in their eyes; first, their secular industries were hit, then they were kicked out of the ranks of noble families in Tianning.

Finally, a series of slow bleed tactics gradually consud everything of the Bai Family.

In just a few months, a noble family beca dust in history, swept into unseen corners by others.

"These were the young generation my father wanted to train at the ti; after the Bai Family was gone, my father let them co here."

Bai Jingliang heaved a deep sigh. Even though he disliked that family, it was, after all, the place that raised him for many years; it’s a lie to say he felt nothing.

Even Bai Chong’an sat alone for a whole night upon hearing the news.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you ho."

Bai Jingliang grabbed Han Yu at this ti, putting on a smile again.

The group headed towards the west of the city, and before long they arrived at a large mansion.

The gate was sowhat old but still grand. Inside, the courtyard was quite elegant, with rock gardens, flowing water, pavilions, and small bridges, flanked by rows of side rooms, with a spacious wooden building in front.

After settling the Bai Family’s children, Bai Jingliang pulled Han Yu into the wooden building.

Upon entering, a waft of tea fragrance greeted them, and they saw a person sitting before a table, holding a cup of tea, playing chess alone.

"Father, see who is here."

Bai Jingliang shouted as he ca in, and Bai Chong’an’s chess-holding hand paused slightly. He lifted his greying head, looking older yet more composed.

After they approached, Han Yu raised his fist in greeting, performing the younger generation’s etiquette.

"Long ti no see, Bai..."

He suddenly choked on the words; he couldn’t decide how to address him. Calling him Patriarch Bai seed inappropriate as the Bai Family was gone.

Mr. Bai seed a bit distant.

Would calling him Uncle Bai invite trouble?

"Just call

Uncle."

Bai Chong’an stood up, smiling at him.

"Hello, Uncle Bai!"

Han Yu quickly and awkwardly clasped his fists.

"Co!"

While speaking, Bai Chong’an had already taken Han Yu’s hand, leading him to sit in front of the table.

The three of them sat down, and Han Yu’s eyes couldn’t help but wander around, seemingly searching for sothing.

"Ya’er has entered the Dragon and Phoenix Palace."

Bai Chong’an noticed, a hint of a smile flashed across his face.

Bai Junya entered the Dragon and Phoenix Palace of the Middle Three Sects?

Han Yu was surprised; for many cultivators, this was indeed a great opportunity.

It was indeed a great opportunity. Bai Chong’an never expected that the daughter who had always been silent and uninterested in cultivation would so easily enter the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, even becoming a direct disciple of one of its elders.

"Talent Divine Power Users are indeed rare, nothing strange about it."

The Artifact Spirit in the Sea of Consciousness said dismissively.

In that sense, it was indeed true.

Bai Junya had already awakened her innate divine abilities; it would be strange if the Dragon and Phoenix Palace didn’t want her.

"What about you?"

Han Yu looked at Bai Jingliang with suspicion. Although this guy was burdened by the afflictions of a noble family and lacked resources, he was also a top-grade single spirit root, and consuming his pills made catching up not difficult with several tis the cultivation speed.

He shouldn’t be unable to enter the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.

"I want to help my father share the burden. I want to try and see if I can find a new path for the Bai Family."

Bai Jingliang spoke calmly, but the determination behind it was not insignificant.

Han Yu rembered how he was tired of noble life back then, during his ti at Tianning Prefecture, a rebellious young man of a declining noble family.

Now, wanting to rebuild the Bai Family after it’s truly gone, the difficulty was evident. It seed he had changed quite a bit.

It seed that in just a few months, everyone was changing.

By noon, Han Yu was dragged down to attend the Bai Family’s family feast.

The table was brimming with dishes, but only Bai’s parents, Han Yu, and Bai Jingliang sat down in the end.

Mrs. Bai saw Han Yu and couldn’t stop smiling, constantly engaging him in small talk, making Han Yu blush deeply.

"Ya’er can only return once a month, and counting the ti, it should be these few days. You should stay here."

During the al, Han Yu barely saw rice; his bowl was piled high with dishes, and Mrs. Bai kept adding more.

This al made Han Yu want to dig a hole in the ground with his toes. After hurriedly finishing the al, he quickly pulled Bai Jingliang and ran out.

"You don’t worry about scaring him?"

Bai Chong’an laughed helplessly, glancing at Mrs. Bai and shaking his head with a smile.

Mrs. Bai, however, didn’t mind, covering her mouth with a light laugh.

"He saved my daughter, and it seems my daughter also has so feelings for him. I, as her mother, find him pleasant; what’s wrong with treating him well?"

Leaving the Bai Family, Han Yu finally felt more at ease, while Bai Jingliang laughed heartily beside him.

At this mont, a peculiar shaking ca from his pocket, it was the long-unused Self-Improvent Sect’s token. Taking it out, several words flashed across it quickly.

"Co to the boat!"

Is Cousin calling ?

Han Yu curiously was about to put away the token when Bai Jingliang beside him looked extrely surprised.

A token that can transmit ssages? What kind of magical artifact is this? So powerful!

"Co, I’ll take you to see sothing interesting."

This ti it was Han Yu’s turn to grab Bai Jingliang and walk briskly.

Inside the giant backdrop, as soon as they entered, Bai Jingliang was first shocked by the enormity of the ship.

When he learned that it could fly in the sky, he was even more dumbfounded.

He thought Han Yu was joking with him.

Beside the hole in the ship’s cabin, besides Cousin, there was also Mo Xingzhi.

Han Yu stepped forward to greet him, cupping his fists in respect.

"Sixth Master Mo!"

Mo Xingzhi waved his hand with a bit of a guilty conscience and spoke, "Just call

Sixth Uncle, like what Xiuwen does."

Well then, this guy Xiuwen said it was a friend, but I didn’t expect it to be him.

When facing Han Yu, Mo Xingzhi still felt a bit apologetic, after all, he didn’t manage to protect him over at the Inspectorate back then.

Han Yu seed to catch his gaze and suddenly understood.

"Sixth Uncle wants to talk about the Ginseng King incident? I already know what happened."

Cousin listened in confusion on the side, wasn’t the Ginseng King incident already dealt with by the other eight sects, who took everyone and the mountain away?

What else could there be?

Han Yu was about to explain when Mo Xingzhi was startled and quickly rushed forward to cover his mouth.

"You brat, this matter cannot be spread anymore, or we’ll surely make enemies."

Mo Xingzhi then released his hand and shook his head with a tutting sound.

"And you still dare to run around, it’s as if you’re afraid others can’t find you!"

"What are you guys talking about? I don’t understand a word!"

Cousin listened, scratching his head in confusion and jumping around anxiously.

These two were really making him uncomfortable, speaking so evasively and leading him on.

anwhile, Bai Jingliang, although also confused, was now attracted by sothing else.

A large character "Mo" caught his eye on the ship’s hull, it was the Mo Family’s chanized ship!

And these people before his eyes...

After Han Yu said nothing more about the Ginseng King matter, he introduced Bai Jingliang to the others.

At this mont, Bai Jingliang was undoubtedly more shocked, Young Master Mo and Sixth Master Mo, Han Yu actually has such great connections with these people.

Ignoring his shock, Han Yu turned to his cousin and spoke exasperatedly.

"Next ti don’t gasp so dramatically when you speak, with just those three words I thought sothing had happened to you."

"Sothing did happen."

Cousin suddenly looked serious.

-----------------

"Sothing happened with the Mo Family?"

Ou Mingdong suddenly stood up, striding down from the desk, looking at the Palace Guard in astonishnt.

The Palace Guard, with a solemn expression, cupped his fists and spoke.

"People from the Mo Family in the east of the city ca over with a ssage, saying that materials they just transported for ship repairs inexplicably went missing, although it was discovered in ti, quite a bit is still missing."

Mysteriously disappeared?

How could it disappear in broad daylight?

Could it be they saw a ghost?

Ou Mingdong’s face suddenly darkened, and he asked, "Could it be that those people from the Mo Family couldn’t even keep an eye on their own things?"

The Palace Guard imdiately explained that as soon as the things were transported, the other party had already assigned people to watch over them. Oddly enough, these materials really disappeared under the watchful eyes of many.

Ou Mingdong’s face was ashen, at this point, he could be sure it was definitely that mysterious cultivator again.

But how did they manage to do it in broad daylight?

"Now that the Mo Family is short of those materials, I’m afraid they won’t be able to fully repair the ship."

The Palace Guard sighed, faithfully conveying the words of the Mo Family.

"Who the hell is that moron who’s got the nerve to keep ssing with a ship every single day?"

Ou Mingdong found that since becoming a Guardian, his temper had worsened day by day, and he couldn’t hold it in. He’d gone from a noble family gentleman to soone who constantly uttered coarse language.

"What do we do now?"

The Palace Guard quietly waited below for Ou Mingdong to make arrangents.

"Search the city, especially those vacant residences. Oh yes! Also, the various warehouses across the city."

Ou Mingdong held his forehead with a headache; now, he could only use the dumbest thod—conduct a citywide search.

"Even if the other party can take the stuff, it’s impossible to get it out of the city quickly."

Not only do those vacant residences need searching, but checkpoints will be set at the city gates, and everything leaving the city will be thoroughly examined before being allowed out.

The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. He quickly spoke out his plan, his tone urgent.

"Be quick, don’t give the opponent ti to exploit any gaps. Now arrange the brothers, one group to search, another to set up checkpoints, and also..."

After a mont of deep thought, Ou Mingdong added.

"Start registering every cultivator leaving the city from this mont. Damn it, I want to make sure that bastard can’t grow wings and fly away."
