"Erm, Uncle Bai, is there something wrong with this book?" Yuan Jing couldn't help but ask.
"I'm asking you, where did this book come from?"
Bai Lingtian's voice had become hoarse, and his urgency was as if he would kill Yuan Jing if she didn't tell him.
"The book, the book belongs to Brother Yi!"
Yuan Jing was obviously scared and quickly said, "Brother Yi originally wanted to throw these books away as trash, but I thought it would be a pity, so I put them on this empty bookshelf."
"Who is Brother Yi? Is he the one who injured my son Bai Qiqu?" Bai Lingtian urgently asked.
Yuan Jing bit her red lips and nodded reluctantly.
Seeing this, Yuan Jing panicked and hurriedly followed.
"Uncle Bai, please listen to my explanation. Things are not what they seem."
"It was Bai Qiqu who provoked first, and Young Master Yi had no choice but to take action."
"And he only took action because of me. If you want to blame someone, blame me. It really has nothing to do with Young Master Yi."
While chasing after Bai Lingtian, Yuan Jing anxiously explained.
But Bai Lingtian, with a stern face, completely ignored Yuan Jing and instead quickened his pace towards Yi Feng's room.
Seeing Bai Lingtian's appearance, Yuan Jing turned pale.
This was trouble, real trouble!
And at Yi Feng's door, Yuan Langtian saw Bai Lingtian rushing over in such a hurry, his face also turned anxious, and he quickly approached and said, "Master Bai, don't worry, no matter how much that kid screams inside the room, he just won't come out. I'll break down the door and drag that kid out for you to deal with."
As he spoke, Yuan Langtian's momentum surged, and he took a step back to Yi Feng's door, unleashing a palm enveloped in immortal energy, directly slamming it towards Yi Feng's door.
Seeing this, Yuan Jing, with a pale face, shouted.
However, her shout couldn't stop Yuan Langtian, who was determined to make a show in front of Bai Lingtian.
But what no one could have expected was that in the critical moment, Bai Lingtian suddenly raised his hand and slapped Yuan Langtian, sending him flying to the ground.
The scene immediately froze.
Yuan Jing was dumbfounded.
Yuan Langtian lay on the ground, holding his face, looking confused.
"Bai, Master Bai, why, why did you hit me?" Yuan Langtian couldn't help but ask with grievance.
But what surprised the two of them even more was that Bai Lingtian, with a stern face, didn't say a word. Instead, he walked to Yi Feng's door respectfully and bent his body.
"Bai Family of Yuan City, Bai Lingtian, greetings to the esteemed guest."
"I am guilty if you have come to Yuan City!"
As soon as he spoke, the eyeballs of the father and daughter next to him were almost scared out of their sockets.
Wasn't he here to seek justice with troops?
You injured his son, and he still acted so respectfully?
And saying that he was guilty?
The storm of shock and astonishment in the hearts of the two reached a level that they couldn't describe.
They also had no idea what had happened.
But Bai Lingtian completely ignored the astonishment of the two and continued to bow his body, standing at the door of Yi Feng's room.
Seeing Bai Lingtian's demeanor, both Yuan Langtian and his daughter Yuan Jing had countless questions in their hearts, but they dared not speak at this moment.
The surroundings were silent.
In the extreme silence, a sound finally came from the room.
The three of them perked up their ears.
It sounded like Yi Feng's snoring.
Bai Lingtian's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Since Master is resting, I won't disturb him for now."
After speaking, Bai Lingtian bowed again and quickly stepped out of the room.
Yuan Langtian and Yuan Jing, who were filled with doubt, hurriedly followed suit.
Back in the main hall, Yuan Langtian couldn't help but ask again, "Lord Bai, what is all this about?"
Yuan Jing also turned her gaze towards him.
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Bai Lingtian took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Do you still remember what Lord Wu Tian told us?"
At these words, Yuan Langtian's eyes brightened.
When it came to Lord Wu Tian, his heart was filled with deep admiration.
He was the pride of the Wu Tian Empire, an absolute powerhouse.
In his early twenties, he was already the ruler of the Wu Tian Empire, the strongest expert within the empire.
Everyone in the empire respected and revered him.
The fact that he had the opportunity to meet Lord Wu Tian was also thanks to Bai Lingtian.
"At that time, Lord Wu Tian said that when he was a teenager, he accidentally ended up in the Immortal River Continent due to spatial turbulence in the unconnected Lingxu Realm and the Immortal River Continent."
"He thought he would never be able to return to his hometown, but in a small city, he met a master."
"This master taught him cultivation, resolved many of his confusions, and helped him break through the barriers of his cultivation, allowing him to have a smooth cultivation path from then on."
"It was because of this master that he acquired the ability to tear through space and return to the Lingxu Realm when the two realms were not connected."
"And all his achievements now, becoming the number one in the empire, becoming the ruler of the empire, are not only because of the guidance from that master, but also because when they parted ways, that master gave him an unparalleled divine technique."
"But this is also Lord Wu Tian's regret, because due to being young at the time, he didn't know where that small city was. Therefore, since their parting, he has never seen that master again and has never personally thanked him."
"So since then, Lord Wu Tian instructed us to be vigilant. If we ever come across someone who resembles that master, we must treat them with respect and notify him immediately."
Yuan Langtian explained in detail.
As he spoke, his eyes revealed not only admiration for Lord Wu Tian but also a deep longing for that legendary master.
Yuan Jing beside him was also captivated by the story.
Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that their empire's top figure had such a past. They became even more curious about the master who had nurtured someone like Lord Wutian. What kind of person could he be?
"It seems you remember Lord Wu Tian's words very clearly," Bai Lingtian nodded with satisfaction.
"But Lord Bai, what does this person in front of us have to do with the things Lord Wu Tian mentioned?" Yuan Langtian asked, still confused.
