Someone stole his home

With Li Xiao appealing to their emotions and reasoning with them, the major sects and factions readily agreed to the White Tiger Sect's compensation plan.

By then, the White Tiger Sect's sect master had regained consciousness. Wrapped in bandages from head to toe, he spoke with a pale face.

"Everyone, this accident was the fault of our White Tiger Sect. I, Bai Jiangbo, offer you all my apologies."

With that, Bai Jiangbo bowed to everyone, then continued.

"As you can all see, White Tiger Hall has been destroyed. We won't keep you here for the baptism ceremony. Once the White Tiger Sect has recovered its strength, we will hold a banquet to apologize to you all."

As though they had been set free, the major sects and factions below brought out their flying shuttles and left the White Tiger Sect at full speed.

Li Xiao of the Li Lineage was still here, and his moods were unpredictable. If he grew displeased and wiped them out with a wave of his hand, who could they turn to for justice?

Watching the factions depart, Bai Jiangbo gave a bitter laugh and said to Li Xiao beside him,

"Young Master Li, they agreed so readily because they were afraid of you. Our White Tiger Sect owes your Li Lineage a favor."

Li Xiao waved a casual hand and smiled. "Sect Master Bai, you're treating us like outsiders. We're family; there's no need to talk as though we're not. It's all thanks to my grandma."

Beside them, Nangong Meng's expression shifted slightly at Li Xiao's words, and she shot Li Kuangfeng a glare.

Li Kuangfeng gazed up at the sky. He guaranteed that he hadn't heard a thing.

At that moment, Bai Jiangbo was dumbfounded.

Huh? Your grandma?

Bai Jiangbo's expression turned ugly as he glanced at Nangong Meng.

Someone stole my home? Holy shit, this Li Lineage has been harboring ill intentions! That old bastard Li Kuangfeng looks so upright with those thick brows and big eyes, yet he's actually this sort of man.

Countless thoughts raced through his mind. Only after a long while did Bai Jiangbo accept this fact.

He knew more or less about his mother's situation, but he hadn't expected the man to be connected to the Li Lineage, much less to be Li Xiao's grandfather.

His father had been dead for many years. If his mother had such thoughts, all he could do as her son was support her.

Besides, this would effectively give the White Tiger Sect a connection to the Li Lineage. The Li Lineage was the foremost faction in the Upper Realm, so this could only benefit the White Tiger Sect.

Most importantly, Li Xiao of the Li Lineage is unquestionably at the Peak Saint Realm. By seniority, he'd even have to call me Uncle.

An eighteen-year-old Peak Saint nephew. His future is boundless.

At that thought, Bai Jiangbo suddenly found Bai Xiaolin beside him far less appealing.

Even among geniuses, there were differences.

Bai Jiangbo composed himself, a brilliant smile returning to his face as he said to Li Xiao beside him,

"You're right, my worthy nephew. I was too caught up in appearances. We're family; there's no need to talk as though we're not."

Hearing this, Li Xiao's lips also curved into a smile, and he nodded.

Bai Jiangbo's words amounted to an indirect acceptance of this fact. With the Li Lineage growing stronger by the day, he could think of no reason to refuse.

Grandpa, I've done you a huge favor this time. You'd better thank me properly.

Li Xiao thought to himself.

"Then I won't trouble you any longer, Uncle. We'll be on our way. Come visit our Li Lineage when you have time."

Hearing himself addressed as Uncle, Bai Jiangbo felt as though his heart had been coated in honey.

Bai Xiaolin had called him Dad for over a decade, and it had never felt this good.

Bai Jiangbo hurriedly replied, "Certainly, certainly. I'll definitely visit the Li Lineage."

Li Xiao smiled, casually tossed down a few bottles of pills, then led Li Dan and the other Li Lineage disciples aboard the flying shuttle, ready to return to the Li Lineage at any moment.

Looking at those bottles of pills bearing nine pill markings, Bai Jiangbo's eyes widened, and even his breathing quickened.

Holy shit, nine pill markings! They all have nine pill markings! Something out of legend like this actually exists.

He just casually tossed down two bottles. Are pills this worthless nowadays?

At that moment, he wished he had a few more mothers.

Seemingly sensing Bai Xiaolin's gaze beside him, Bai Jiangbo instantly reined in his expression. Without betraying a thing, he tucked the bottles of pills securely into his sleeve, then said sternly to Bai Xiaolin,

"What are you staring at? They're just a few bottles of pills for nourishing the body. You have no use for them. Hurry up and get your ass to the blood pool for your baptism."

Seeing the expression on his bargain-bin father's face, Tang Xuan couldn't help sinking into his mind and saying,

"Your father really pisses me off. Want me to take care of him for you while I'm at it?"

Inside Tang Xuan's body, Bai Xiaolin threatened, "Go ahead if you dare. My big brother is still up there. He'll slap you dead."

Only now did Bai Xiaolin finally understand what Li Xiao had said that day. From today onward, he had a big brother, and that brother was the number one person in the Upper Realm.

Tang Xuan looked at the flying shuttle that had yet to leave and cast aside the thought of killing Bai Jiangbo, then headed straight for the White Tiger Sect's blood pool.

The Holy Envoy's grand plan was right before his eyes.

Glancing at his mother, Bai Jiangbo also had the good sense to leave.

At that moment, Li Kuangfeng gazed tenderly at Nangong Meng before him and said softly,

"Meng'er, I'm leaving. I'll come see you often."

Nangong Meng also felt somewhat reluctant to part, but she kept a stern face and said nothing.

Knowing this couldn't be rushed, Li Kuangfeng said his farewells and walked toward the Li Lineage's flying shuttle.

There were plenty of days ahead. They would meet again.

"Set off. We're going home."
