《The Young Matriarch》 Chapter 1: Descending The Mountains Chapter 1: Descending The Mountains Editor: Henyee Trantions It was the beginning of March, when the early spring weather still felt chilly. A heavy rainfall caused mist to rise up andpletely shroud the Yunwu Mountains, making it seem like an immortal¡¯s residence. A youngdy could be seen, standing at the winding road while holding onto a paper umbre. She was dressed in a simple, bamboo patterned dress with a cloth bag slung on her right arm. She was gazing thoughtfully at the torrential rain. Thedy had extremely beautiful facial features, glowing fair skin, natural cherry red lips and a demeanor that seemed ethereal, especially in these scenic settings. Interesting thoughts swivelled in Bai Chuwei¡¯s mesmerising eyes. Her jade-like slender fingers gently touched her chin and she murmured to herself. ¡°It seems that the Bai Family has no intentions to fetch me. Is the scenario kick starting so early?¡± Bai Chuwei had transmigrated into a cannon fodder,monly found in Mary Sue novels while being bound to a tyrannical system. However, an irreversible malfunction urred and that trashy system sent her to that world, five thousand years earlier! After Bai Chuwei lived for five thousand years, bing someone who could be regarded as an ancestor, the intended plot finally began. Right then, a sleek-looking luxurious ck sedan with smooth lines, drove through theyers of fog. Bai Chuwei immediately walked to the middle of the road and waved at the luxurious ck Rolls Royce. Her actions caused the car to stop, and the driver wound down the window, halfway. He looked at Bai Chuwei in surprise and asked politely. ¡°Youngdy, do you need something?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes curved into crescent moons and revealed two rows of pearly white teeth. ¡°Since you are passing by, can you give me a ride?¡± Evidently, the driver was unable to take that call and turned to look inside the car with an awkward expression. All of a sudden, a mellow and deep male voice sounded from the deep interiors of the car. ¡°No. Drive on.¡± Through the rain sshed window, Bai Chuwei saw an exceedingly handsome man leaning against the car¡¯s back seat, with his eyes shut. He had a straight nose, and a cold-looking face. All in all, he was exceedingly handsome. Even for someone like Bai Chuwei who had lived for more than five thousand years, she could not help but get surprised. When dealing with an attractive person, anyone would be more patient than usual. Her ruddy lips curled up slightly and she said, ¡°Are you lost? I know the directions to get to the highway.¡± The young man seated in the front passenger seat became ecstatic upon listening to her words and made a decision on his own. ¡°That¡¯s great! Finally there¡¯s no need to continuously roam in circles around this ce. Hurry up and get in.¡± The warmth from the car engulfed Bai Chuwei the minute she opened the rear door. She neatly folded her paper umbre and slid in. Bai Chuwei finally got a clear view of the man¡¯s appearance when she entered the car. His facial features gave off a cold aura and his sideview looked picture perfect. He was wearing a formal ck suit and there was a string of sandalwood beads on his left wrist. Even though he sat there quietly, it was quite impossible to ignore his existence. The aura of such a man was tantly obvious. Duan Feihan¡¯s slender fingers rubbed the string of Buddha beads absently as he opened his eyes and threw a freezing nce at the gorgeous Bai Chuwei. Looking at her, his eyes gradually darkened. It was raining crazily on the mountain, but there was not even a drop of water on her hair. Moreover, there were no signs of stains on her cloth shoes due to muddy water. Instead, she appeared clean and dry. The whole picture felt odd, somehow. Bai Chuwei also frowned slightly. The man looked familiar, but she could not recall anything specific about him. Suddenly, she pointed in the front and said, ¡°Turn left at the intersection up ahead.¡± The young man in the front passenger seat asked in a doubtful tone. ¡°Do you really know the way? We turned left earlier, but still ended up circling around the area.¡± Bai Chuwei gave a tiny smile and said in a firm voice, ¡°Turn left.¡± Ten minutester, the understated Rolls Royce finally drove out of Yunwu Mountain. It felt as if the clouds dispersed and the sun had finally arrived. The driver pped at the steering wheel and said excitedly, ¡°Oh my! Youngdy, you are blessed. We¡¯ve really managed toe out of the fog!¡± CREATORS¡¯ THOUGHTS Henyee From 15 Feb 2020, Coins spent on books that aren¡¯t selected will be refunded within 30 days.

Chapter 2: Why Didn’t She Thank Him? Chapter 2: Why Didn¡¯t She Thank Him? Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei adjusted her posture and leaned against the window with a small smile on her face. ¡°It¡¯s a usual urrence.¡± The young man seated in the front passenger seat happily stretched his arms before turning behind to stare at the noble-looking man. With guiltcing his voice, he said, ¡°Fourth Uncle, I¡¯m sorry for dragging you here without checking it out, properly. In the end, we did not manage to locate that miracle doctor and even dyed your meeting.¡± With his eyes still half shut, Duan Feihan responded nomittally in his deep voice. He didn¡¯t seem too perturbed by it. The sound of his voice was like a melodious note of a cello, inexplicably stirring and teasing. Bai Chuwei could not help herself but sneak a few more nces at the guy. It was pleasing to look at a face blessed by God! In addition, his body continuously radiated a weak spiritual aura which made her slightly greedy for it. Duan Xingye who was seated in the front seat, scratched his head in vexation. He was anxious and flustered at the same time. ¡°Grandfather is critically ill right now, but all those famed doctors and experts from around the world, seem to be ineffective in improving his condition. That ssmate of mine mentioned about this miracle doctor residing in the Yunwu Mountain and I rushed here without much consideration.¡± Duan Xingye looked at the fast disappearing Yunwu Mountain from the rear view mirror and said in a discouraged tone, ¡°Maybe the rumors about the miracle doctor are untrue. Making the deade back to life, that would make the doctor an immortal, right? Ah, I reckon it must be an imaginary character, which my dear friend made up.¡± All of a sudden, a pleasant soundingughter could be heard from the back seat. Duan Xingye raised his brows and looked at Bai Chuwen in surprise. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Bai Chuwen restrained her smile and said, ¡°Please drop me at the South of Sea City, Shuangbai Road since you are passing by it. There was a cluster of vis in the South of Sea City, Shuangbai Road, and one of those vis belonged to the Bai Family. A wave of silence enveloped the car¡¯s cabin. Duan Xingye was taken aback. With wide eyes, he stared at the beautiful youngdy who had taken a lift from them. What the heck? This is the first time I¡¯ve seen someone so shameless! Driving her down the mountain wasn¡¯t enough? Now, she is even asking us to send her home? Even Duan Feihan who was mediating, opened his eyes and looked at her. His gaze was indifferent yet prating. Bai Chuwen met Duan Feihan¡¯s gaze that felt chilly like an iceberg. She looked steadily at him and maintained a neutral tone. After a few seconds, she said, ¡°Are you not aware of the location? I can give you directions.¡± As a person in power of the century old and wealthy Duan Family, Duan Feihan possessed an innate and powerful aura. Even in the business industry, only a very few people dared to meet his eyes. But this young woman seemed unfazed. Bai Chuwen stroked her chin and asked in an intriguing manner. ¡°Mister, has anyone told you that you look like a much-coveted piece of meat on legs?¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s serene eyes shrunk suddenly. In his blurry memory, there seemed to be a youngdy who had also described him like this when he was a child.¡± Duan Xingye was worried that his Fourth Uncle would chase the beautifuldy away and he hastily said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just dropping you off? We¡¯ll do just that..¡± He gestured to the driver to drive on. After driving for half an hour aftering down from Yunwu Mountain, Bai Chuwei saw the stark white townhouses through the window. She instructed in a melodious voice. ¡°You can stop here.¡± Bai Chuwei unfolded her umbre and got down. She then knocked on the front seat window and passed a bag full of vegetables to Duan Xingye with a smile. ¡°Thank you for giving me a ride. Your grandfather has a stomach disease. Let him have some of the vegetables which I nted. Take it as my fare for this ride.¡± After that, Bai Chuwen walked towards the townhouses under the protection of the umbre. Her graceful figure gradually disappeared into the distance. It was still raining heavily and the Rolls Royce was parked right in the middle of the road. The people in the car were in shock. Duan Xingye and the driver looked at each other before the driver eximed. ¡°How did she know that our old master has a stomach disease?¡± Duan Xingye was at a loss as well. He had not mentioned that his grandfather was suffering from a stomach disease¡­ Could it be his Fourth Uncle? He turned back and looked at Duan Feihan. The elegant looking man¡¯s brows were furrowed. But his focus was on an entirely different issue. ¡°This car is mine.¡± Then, why did she thank Duan Xingye for giving her a ride, instead of him? Chapter 3: Your Junior, Bai Guofu Chapter 3: Your Junior, Bai Guofu Editor: Henyee Trantions Inside the European style vi, the entire Bai Family were currently seated on the sofa. The white-haired old man, Bai Guofu was clenching his cane tightly. His face was flushed red in anger and he reprimanded in a loud voice. ¡°Are my words of no importance, now? I gave you the task to fetch someone. Why didn¡¯t you go?¡± Different members of the Bai Family had different reactions to his words. The old man, who always remained aloof and away from the worldly affairs, had suddenly announced yesterday that he was going to bring in a girl from the countryside into the family. Moreover, she would be staying here for an indefinite period. This news was like a stone thrown into a calmke, that stirred up great ripples. A delicate youngdy who was seated at the corner seat, pouted and tried to exin to the old man. ¡°Grandfather, it¡¯s raining so hard outside. Can¡¯t we fetch her after the rain stops?¡± Bai Yinyin was feeling a strong sense of crisis towards the girl who was yet to appear. She was the only girl in this generation of the Bai Family and thus, she had been doted upon by her grandfather since childhood. Naturally, she would not be fond of sharing that attention with someone else. They had originally made ns to fetch that country bumpkin from Yunwu Mountain at one o¡¯clock today. However, Bai Yinyin suddenly came up with an idea, along with her mother, to let the girl wait in the rain to teach her a lesson. Bai Yinyin looked at the downpour happily through the window and gloated secretly. She was ready to bet that the girl must be thoroughly drenched from head to toe by now. ¡°Ding~ Ding~¡± The doorbell rang all of a sudden and Bai Yinyin stood up to open the door. A youngdy dressed in a clean dress of unknown material with bamboo pattern embroidered on the corner of her sleeves, was standing at their doorstep. There were no traces of mud on her shoes. Moreover, she was shockingly gorgeous. She gave off a clean and spiritual image, and the aura she excluded made her seem like a godly being. She introduced herself at the first opportunity. ¡°I¡¯m Bai Chuwei.¡± Bai Yinyin retreated in shock and immediately took out her mobile phone to check the photo which she had received previously. Unconsciously, her voice became sharper as she said, ¡°You¡¯re Bai Chuwei?¡± The Bai Chuwei in that photo was plowing the field with her trousers rolled up while wearing arge straw hat, looking vulgar and stupid at the same time. In conclusion, she seemed like a true blue country pumpkin. Bai Yinyin honestly suspected that the photographer wanted to chase her and hence, had deliberately photoshopped her image. She had never seen such a beautiful and ethereal girl in her whole life and even Tong Qingyan would lose out to her in terms of appearance. Where was the promised country bumpkin? Bai Yinyin¡¯s sense of crisis multiplied several fold and she looked at Bai Chuwei warily. Bai Chuwei briefly nced at Bai Yinyin with a smile as she found her rather funny. She bypassed her and stepped on the fluffy carpet, making her way in, calmly. In therge hall inside the vi, everyone was sizing up the neer with probing looks. The old man seated on the main seat was dressed in Tang Dynasty clothes and his grip on the cane tightened visibly. He was so excited that he trembled and his aged face turned red with excitement. Bai Yinyin stared at Bai Chuwei¡¯s wless face, unwaveringly. It seemed as if it would break with a single touch. In irritation, she loudly reprimanded. ¡°Your behavior is as expected from a country bumpkin from the rural area. Why didn¡¯t you change your shoes before entering our house? You are so undiscip¡­.¡± She did not manage to finish her sentence before she was thoroughly stunned by the scene taking ce before her. The old man suddenly threw away his cane and staggered as he got up. He then bent his knees and knelt before Bai Chuwei and repeatedly kowtowed to her. His voice was filled with extreme excitement as he shouted. ¡°Your junior, Bai Guofu, pays his respects to his ancestor. Bai Chuwei did not shy away from him and easily epted the kowtow from a seventy-year-old old man while she reminisced about the past. ¡°Little Fu, it has been nearly twenty years since we saw each other.¡± The old man¡¯s eyes reddened and he cried out in happiness. Everyone present in the vi: ¡°¡­ ???¡± Did the old man go crazy? Why did he kneel and kowtow to a little girl, who seemed like she had yet to reach twenty years of age? Chapter 4: Wanting To Beat His Granddaughter Again! Chapter 4: Wanting To Beat His Granddaughter Again! Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Guofu¡¯s gnarled fingers wiped away his tears and he said enthusiastically, ¡°Ancestor, please take a seat.¡± The old man Bai Guofu had given up his seat right in front of everyone to her. Then, he eagerly took out the top-grade tea leaves, which he would be reluctant to drink on a normal asion, to personally brew a cup of tea for Bai Chuwei. This behavior of his was unbing as the dignified master of the Bai Family. Instead, he resembled a¡­ckey? The scene stunned everyone into silence. No one had expected such a development to ur. Bai Yinyin raised her eyes to meet those of her parents and she wondered if her grandfather was suddenly suffering from Alzheimer¡¯s disease. Bai Chuwei¡¯s beautiful eyes surveyed her surroundings and from the looks of it, the vi was spread across five hundred square meters approximately. It was three stories high and had a basement. In addition, it came with a garden and was decorated in authentic European style. Every single artifact in the house was of high quality. Bai Yinyin noticed Bai Chuwei¡¯s wandering gaze and coldly snorted as she muttered in ridicule. ¡°As expected of a country bumpkin. I¡¯m sure that you¡¯ve not stayed in such a luxurious house before.¡± Bai Chuwei received the tea that the old man had personally brewed. After taking a sip, she coincidentally spoke at the same time as Bai Yinyin, ¡°Little Fu, it seems like the Bai Family is getting poorer under your management. I remember that the grand Bai Family of the past had upied the entire west mountain, and was a big household with a lot of businesses. Right now, you¡¯re staying in such a tiny house?¡± T-tiny house? Bai Yinyin was stunned for a moment. She flushed red in anger before leveling a re at Bai Chuwei. She spoke in a difited voice, ¡°Who are you to speak to my grandfather in this tone? Do you know how expensive vis are in this area? This vi itself is worth fifty million! You can¡¯t even afford to buy our toilet even if you sold yourself!¡± *Pa-pa!* Two loud ps resounded through the hall. Bai Yinyin covered her reddened cheeks and looked at her grandfather in disbelief. Her lips had started to tremble. ¡°Grandfather¡­ you hit me? You hit me for the sake of this outsider? You¡¯ve neverid even a finger at me since I was born!¡± Bai Guofu angrily reproached her. ¡°Outsider? How is your ancestor an outsider? Yinyin, you better behave yourself and immediately apologize to her!¡± At that moment, the only thought that surfaced in Bai Yinyin¡¯s mind was to disfigure Bai Chuwei¡¯s face. She cried and ran into her mother¡¯s embrace while tears streamed down her face. ¡°On what basis do I have to apologize? I won¡¯t apologize!¡± You want me to apologize? Dream on! With an embarrassed look, Bai Guofu turned to face Bai Chuwei. He rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have let you witness a sorry spectacle like this. I failed in disciplining my granddaughter. The Bai Family¡­ has indeed declined under my management.¡± If it were someone else who said that, Bai Guofu would have already flown into a rage. However, the one who had spoken these words, was the ancestor! Bai Guofu peered at Bai Chuwei through the mist of the fragrant tea. He sighed deep down inside. Sixty years ago when he was ten years old, the country was in a state of famine and he had lost many family members to death due to hunger. On his deathbed, his father had told him to visit his ancestor in Yunwu Mountains. At that point in time, he had fainted at Bai Chuwei¡¯s doorsteps after arduously climbing the mountain. He had been dizzy with hunger. Not only did the ancestor save him by providing him with food, she also gave him seeds to cultivate. Back in those days, food that could save lives were much more preciouspared to gold! With the food and seeds which Bai Chuwei gave him, he managed to survive and slowly began to prosper. Bai Guofu nced at Bai Chuwei and noticed that she hade empty-handed. Despite having lived for more than seventy years and after tasting countless delicacies, he was still unable to forget the taste of cabbages that his ancestor had nted! Bai Chuwei put down the teacup and shot a nce at the sobbing Bai Yinyin with amusement in her eyes. ¡°I took a free ride here earlier, and gifted the vegetables to the car owner.¡± The moment Bai Guofu heard that, his heart ached. He got so angry that he wanted to beat his granddaughter once again! It was all due to Yinyin¡¯s silly idea to dy sending the car to pick up Bai Chuwei. All his vegetables were gone now because of her. Bai Yinyin covered her red cheeks with her hands and asked in anger. ¡°Grandfather, who is this woman?¡± Chapter 5: Bai Family’s Adoptive Daughter Chapter 5: Bai Family¡¯s Adoptive Daughter Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Guofu looked at Bai Chuwei in awe and answered softly. ¡°She¡¯s your ancestor.¡± During the past sixty years, he had grown from a child to an old man with a headful of white hair. However, Bai Chuwei still looked like an 18-year-old youngdy and time seemed to have stopped for her. It was impossible to discern her exact age. Bai Yinyin was so angry that she nearly vomited blood. Her grandfather¡¯s answer made her suspect if he really had Alzhemer¡¯s, now. Bai Chuwei gently twisted her neck to look at him and asked in anguid voice. ¡°Have you settled the task of my enrollment in Henghua?¡± Bai Guofu nodded deferentially. Suddenly, a glint shed through his muddled eyes as a thought urred to him. He then spoke to her in all cautiousness, ¡°It¡¯ll take a few more days to be finalized. Moreover, it would be safer to have parents when you¡¯re studying outside. So, I was wondering if you are willing to be registered as an adopted daughter under my second son, Bai Hongguang?¡± In fact, the old man had some selfish thoughts about that arrangement. He had two sons. His eldest son¡¯s family was rather stable, with a capable grandson who was the prime candidate to inherit thepany. However, his second son¡¯s family was, honestly, toockluster. Bai Hongguan was incapable, and spent his time drinking and indulging in pleasure, causing the old man to be deeply worried for his future. But if Bai Hongguang and his family managed to get connected with the ancestor, he would not have to worry about his second son bing penniless after he passed away in the future. Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curled up in a meaningful smile. She was well aware of Bai Guofu¡¯s thoughts. She sighed internally. As expected, the scenario was really unfolding as per its original track. The Bai Chuwei of the original story was an orphan and had enrolled in Henghua as the adopted daughter of the Bai Family. Even with the system malfunctioning, the scenario still remained the same. Liu Man¡¯s anger shot through the roof and she red at her husband, Bai Hongguan. She leaned over and whispered angrily. ¡°Did you agree to let that girl get registered under our family? Why didn¡¯t you discuss this with me?¡± Since the old man had mentioned it, he must have discussed it with Bai Hongguan in private! She had been unable to conceive another child ever since her body was hurt giving birth to Bai Yinyin. Numerous private visits to famed doctors yielded no results and as time passed, Liu Man became rather headstrong and all matters of the second family had to go through her. epting an adopted daughter under the second family was an extremely huge matter! Did he not think about the cost of raising another daughter? Won¡¯t she need money to study? What about the future when she gets married when they would have to fork out the dowry for her? Why did that idiot Bai Hongguan agree to this? Why didn¡¯t they register that leech under the first son instead? Were they disregarding her as the mistress of the family? The thought of Bai Hongguang¡¯s womanizing behavior caused the rage in Liu Man¡¯s eyes to intensify. Bai Hongguan hastily waved his hand and said in a panicky voice, ¡°I had heard about the adoption, but I assumed that father would send her to my elder brother¡¯s family!¡± How could Liu Man possibly believe his words? If not for the fact that the old man was present, she would have given her husband a big p at this moment. Bai Guofu looked at his second son and his wife in shock. Did they think that he was causing them harm by registering the ancestor under their family? Bai Chuwei propped her hand under her chin and looked at the husband-wife¡¯s bickering. In the original story, the foster parents had sold Bai Chuwei in the ck market in exchange for money, for the sake of Bai Yinyin. The original owner had been enved, beaten and lived a miserable and inhuman life, suffering all possible hardships. Bai Chuwei opened her lips and added oil to the fire as she called out to Bai Hongguan in a deceptively soft voice. ¡°Father.¡± When Liu Man heard that, she immediately concluded that Bai Hongguan had not informed her and epted the adoption in secret. In a fit of rage, she ruthlessly kicked Bai Hongguan on his ankles. The middle-aged man cried out in pain and instantly rolled down from the sofa. He rolled back and forth on the carpet in intense pain. Bai Chuwei was pretty satisfied with the result. Very good, I like watching dogfights! Chapter 6: Dogfight Chapter 6: Dogfight Editor: Henyee Trantions Both mother and daughter looked at Bai Chuwei, warily. Bai Yinyin dug her fingernails into her palms and clenched her teeth. She waspletely flustered by this girl¡¯s presence. A country bumpkin bing the adopted daughter of the Bai family and snatch away her position in the family? Dream on! Bai Yinyin red at Bai Chuwei, hatefully. Did she think that she had be invincible now with her father and grandfather as her support? She shall let her know the difference between the real deal and a fake one soon! Bai Guofu nced at his second son rolling on the ground in pain and awkwardly smiled at Bai Chuwei. He had never expected¡­ that the ancestor would agree to be registered under his second son so easily. ¡°That¡¯s enough, stop embarrassing yourself!¡± Bai Guofu cleared his throat and said to his granddaughter, ¡°Yinyin, the ancestor would be without a phone right now. Get thetest model for her. I heard that there are some fruit brand or X brand phones. Whichever is the best, just buy that. I¡¯ll have the money wired to your ount.¡± Bai Yinyin trembled in anger. She had been using her current phone for a year now, but why hadn¡¯t her grandfather bought the newest phone for her? She also wanted thetest mobile phone! A strong sense of crisis enveloped her and her gaze towards Bai Chuwei became increasingly unfriendly. Bai Chuwei wasn¡¯t bothered by Bai Yinyin¡¯s gaze and she flipped her hair back. After a moment, she asked in an indifferent voice. ¡°Where¡¯s my room?¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s thought of a great idea and quickly jumped up. ¡°It¡¯s on the third floor! We prepared it for you, specially.¡± The third floor contained a small attic and its surface area was less than half the size of her bedroom. It had been used previously by their nanny for a long period of time before it became a storage room. For a country bumpkin like Bai Chuwei, she only deserved to stay in a storage room! Just as Bai Guofu was about to re up, Bai Chuwei answered with indifference. ¡°So be it.¡± For someone who had lived for thousands of years, Bai Chuwei was no longer concerned with materialfort. Rather than following the original plot of staying opposite Bai Yinyin¡¯s room and getting disturbed by her all the time, it was better to stay alone on the third floor. She got up elegantly and headed towards the third floor. Her demeanor resembled an immortal and her posture was graceful, capturing the attention of all the servants who were present there. ¡°Too¡­ Isn¡¯t she too beautiful? Just like a fairy.¡± ¡°She¡¯s really graceful, none of the youngdies in Sea City possess such elegance! Miss Chuwei has such a cool temperament.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yinyin stomped her foot in anger and frustration as she heard this. While Bai Guofu chased after Bai Chuwei all the way to the third floor, Liu Man looked at her husband and gnashed her teeth, scolding him. ¡°Bai Hongguang! You better find a chance quickly to throw this slut, Bai Chuwei, out. Our family has no money to support useless people!¡± * Even though the third floor consisted only of a small attic, it was very clean. There was a single bed and a desk with arge window in the room. Climbing out of the window would lead one directly to the rooftop. It was indeed small, but quiet and clean. Bai Guofu shook his head and said, ¡°Ancestor, how can you stay in such a confined space? I shall arrange a better room for you.¡± In fact, he was feeling helpless. It was only yesterday, when his ancestor suddenly mentioned about descending the mountains and wanting to stay here. He had not found adequate time to prepare a suitable room for her during this period. Bai Chuwei waved her hand and said, ¡°This will do.¡± The old man did not dare to go against the ancestor¡¯s decision and could only sigh. He hesitated for a moment before he asked awkwardly. ¡°Respected ancestor, how did you prolong your lifespan?¡± Bai Chuwei patted Bai Guofu¡¯s grizzled hair and smiled. ¡°Little Fu, what¡¯s so good about living for so long? You¡¯ll have to constantly send others away, not knowing till when you have to continue walking this path.¡± After pondering over it, he agreed with the ancestor¡¯s words. The Bai Family was wealthy and both his sons had grown up well to have a family of their own. Even his grandchildren could be considered as capable people. There was no point coveting any extra years. After Bai Guofu left, Bai Chuwei sat down before the desk and looked out of the window at the pouring rain. Right then, a white hairy ball made its way inside the room. Chapter 7: Animals Are Disallowed To Transform After The Founding of Nation Chapter 7: Animals Are Disallowed To Transform After The Founding of Nation Editor: Henyee Trantions A round, white-haired hamster, so fat to the extent that his limbs could not be seen, hade in. Bai Chuwei nced at it before clicking her tongue. ¡°Snowball, I thought you wouldn¡¯t being back.¡± Snowball squeaked in response. ¡°I¡¯ll go wherever you are.¡± That white-haired hamster was a pet whom she had casually given pointers to twenty years ago, back in Yunwu Mountain when she had been bored. However, she never expected it to be so dumb. Even after following her for twenty years, it still remained a hamster, incapable of transforming into a human. ¡°Animals are disallowed to transform after the founding of the nation!¡± Bai Chuwei spoke with contempt in her voice, ¡°Is this the reason that you¡¯re still a dumb hamster despite me taking care of you for twenty years?¡± Just then, a mechanical voice surfaced in the depths of her mind. [Beep, the scenario has started. Dear host, please go through all scenes and take revenge against all those trashy people who bullied the original owner.] [Beep-beep-beep, an irreversible malfunction in the system is detected. Self repair function activated, please do not disturb.] Bai Chuwei was already ustomed to this malfunctioning system and presumed that the repairs would take another few thousand years or so. In anycase, it was useless to her. Soon, she undressed and threw her clothes into theundry basket for the maid to wash before she went to take a bath. *Knock* *Knock* After some time, Bai Yinyin entered the room after knocking and ced a phone on the table. She looked at Bai Chuwei and said coldly, ¡°Here you go. I have got the phone for you and already inserted a new sim card inside.¡± Bai Chuwei nced at the phone and noticed some wear and tear around the corners of the handset. She furrowed her brows said. ¡°It¡¯s a used product.¡± It was indeed an old phone. Bai Yinyin got a big shock. She had no idea how Bai Chuwei managed to realize that it was a used phone in just a nce. Her voice turned sharp as she spoke in a mocking tone, ¡°The phone card inside is new. So what if I¡¯ve used the handset before? Has a country pumpkin like you used a fruit XR ever? It¡¯s already your good luck to receive this phone.¡± Her grandfather had transferred fifteen thousand yuan to her. Obviously, she would use that money to buy a brand new phone for herself. Someone like Bai Chuwei only deserved to use her old phone. Bai Yinyin turned to leave from there. She was feeling smug for gaining fifteen thousand yuan without any effort! Her father was a useless man and could notpare with her uncle¡¯s family. Her monthly allowance was only ten thousand yuan and she had to n her expenditure carefully, even if she wanted to buy a phone. She did not feel any remorse about snatching Bai Chuwei¡¯s new phone. It should have been hers in the first ce. Just as she exited from the room, she saw the maid taking away Bai Chuwei¡¯s clothes from theundry basket. Bai Yinyin clicked her tongue and said, ¡°As expected of a country bumpkin, her clothes are brandless. She¡¯s a poor kid.¡± The housemaid, Auntie Chen shook her head while her voice contained traces of shock. ¡°Miss, have you seen the threads of this clothing? It seems to contain gold threads and the craftsmanship is simr to the gilt brocade. It seems to radiate a faint golden light under natural sunlight. I¡¯ve seen this kind of stuff on TV. A handbag of such craftsmanship costs anywhere between thirty to forty thousand yuan. I believe that a set of clothing like this would be worth nothing less than two hundred thousand yuan!¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s smile stiffened and her eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°How is that possible? She¡¯s just a country bumpkin!¡± Her words suddenly dried up as she came to a realization. She has just been brought back by her grandfather into the family. These clothes were probably gifted by him to her. Bai Yinyin clenched her teeth and muttered to herself. ¡°Bai Chuwei, it seems like I¡¯ve underestimated you. You¡¯ve managed to wrap my grandfather around your finger even before you entered the doors of Bai Family? Who do you think you are?¡± Bai Yinyin looked at that piece of clothing and recalled the fifteen thousand yuan in her WeChat1 wallet. All of a sudden, she felt unhappy with the sum of money which she had received. ¡°Alright then!¡± Bai Yinyin looked at the gilt brocade clothes and revealed an evil smile. She quickly turned around and fetched a small pair of scissors from her room. Chapter 8: Duan Feihan Chapter 8: Duan Feihan Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei and the hamster stared at the old phone inside the room and the chubby hamster squeaked sympathetically. ¡°Isn¡¯t she too stupid?¡± Bai Chuwei nodded in agreement. ¡°She¡¯s indeed quite stupid.¡± However, that was normal. In the original novel, both of them were supporting characters and their intelligence was below average. The author had deliberately lowered their IQ as to make way for the female lead to have a smooth progress. Bai Chuwei turned on the phone that had been reset to factory settings. Upon swiping it, the home screen lit up. Her slender jade-like fingers swiftly moved around the keyboard and in a matter of minutes, the phone had been restored to its previous settings. Lazily, she opened the messages to take a look. ¡°*Tsk* *Tsk* People¡¯s morals are indeed degenerating with each passing day. Bai Yinyin was indulging in ambiguous chats with several men at the same time.¡± Snowball grabbed onto Bai Chuwei¡¯s fingers and squeaked. ¡°This is called flirting in the current society!¡± Bai Chuwei suddenly saw the light and understood the concept. It has been twenty years since she left Yunwu Mountain and she was unable to keep up with the modern society. Even these hacking skills were something that she learned in passing while using a viger¡¯s phone. Just as she was pondering over it, she felt a sharp pain arising in her heart meridian and her jade-like pink cheeks suddenly turned pale. Snowball jumped around in anxiousness and continuously squeaked. Bai Chuwei held her chest and retrieved a medicine bottle from her pocket. She took out a pill from it and the medicinal fragrance assaulted her nose. She consumed it immediately and the bitter medicinal taste spread inside her mouth. The bitter taste caused her to knit her brows and say in disgust, ¡°It¡¯s so unptable.¡± After she ate the medicine, the piercing pain gradually eased. It was a painkiller pill made from various kinds of elixirs, used specially to relieve her affliction. Due to the system malfunction, she had been thrown back by five thousand years and was rescued by the Matriarch of the Bai Family who took her in as his godsister. That person died, saving her and therefore, Bai Chuwei had been sheltering the Bai Family for the past five thousand years. The heart meridian pain was also an old injury left behind from back then and she required various types of spiritual medicine to ease the pain. Bai Chuwei licked her lips and a cold, stern and slender figure surfaced in her mind. It was that man who sent her back to the Bai Family today. Not only was he handsome, he was also¡­ a walking spiritual energy emitter. Bai Chuwei fell into deep thoughts. If she could get some spiritual energy from that man, would it mean that she need not consume such bitter medicines in the future? * The hall of the Bai Family¡¯s vi. A middle-aged man, with a dignified appearance, entered the doors and wiped the water droplets that had been sttered on his clothes. When he saw his father happily seated on a rattan chair, he couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Father, why are you so happy today? I heard that my second brother has adopted a daughter? In that case, she can be considered as my niece.¡± Bai Guofu opened his eyes and shot him a cold nce. ¡°What niece? That¡¯s your ancestor from eight hundred years ago! Such impudence.¡± The eldest son Bai Hongming, ¡°¡­¡± Did his father go crazy? Even so, he did not go speak up against his father and changed the topic. ¡°Father, the old man of the Duan Family seems to be on his deathbed. During these past days, he has been continuously undergoing emergency treatment in the hospital. Should our Bai Family show some sort of sincerity?¡± Bai Guofu said in a bitter tone, ¡°What use would there be of such an action? They are one of the top families in China and won¡¯t possibly care about a small family like ours.¡± The ancestor was right. The Bai Family, under his management, had be increasingly poor. However, the old man from the Duan Family was also rather pitiful. Before he had the chance to enjoy life, he was already at his deathbed. The most pitiful one would be his youngest son, Duan Feihan, who was about to lose his father at the age of twenty-four.¡± Chapter 9: The Miracle Doctor Of Yunwu Mountain Was Unexpectedly Her? Chapter 9: The Miracle Doctor Of Yunwu Mountain Was Unexpectedly Her? Editor: Henyee Trantions The Duan Family was located at Linghai in the Sea City, arge chinese styled mansion with pavilions and kiosks and enjoyed both the beauty of a garden and also sea view. At that moment, the people inside the house looked strangely nervous. *Beep-Beep* A doctor dressed in a white robe had a serious expression on his face as he said to everyone, ¡°Please prepare for the worse.¡± Their grandfather had stomach cancer and no hospital was ready to treat him any further. Fortunately, the Duan Family was wealthy and had transformed their home into a small hospital, with all types of machines and seven to eight reputable doctors on call, 24/7. Duan Xingye squatted in a corner, wailing and the expressions of the other family members were also dark and gloomy. A man, wearing a smokey-gray expensive suit, was standing in the corner with his head lowered. His entire being seemed to have blended into that space, as if his existence was unreal. Duan Feihan, with one hand tucked in his pocket, was looking at the floor and his thin lips appeared to be dry. He had stood there for more than dozens of hours without consuming a single drop of water. It seemed like his father would not be able to survive any longer. ¡°Xingye, I thought you and your Fourth Uncle went look for some miracle doctor? Where is he?¡± The middle-aged man growled. Duan Xingye shook his head and responded. ¡°That news seemed to be fake. There¡¯s no such miracle doctor there!¡± As they stood outside the room, they could hear the voices of the doctors trying to rescue the patient with all their efforts. Hurried footsteps could be heard approaching from afar. Duan Feihan¡¯s assistant came over with an ufortable looking middle-aged woman and said respectfully, ¡°Young master, this woman ims to have seen the miracle doctor of Yunwu Mountain. It is not a rumor.¡± Instantly, everyone¡¯s line of sight zeroed upon that middle-aged woman. Evidently, she had never been in such a situation ever and she rubbed her hands ufortably. ¡°If you mean the miracle doctor Bai of Yunwu Mountain, then yes, I¡¯ve indeed met her before.¡± Speaking of miracle doctor Bai, the woman¡¯s expressions rxed visibly. She pped her hands in excitement and said, ¡°Her medical skills are superb! Forget cancer, as long as the patient has not fully dposed, she can save anyone.¡± ¡°However, she only treats patients depending on her mood. For poor people like us, she did not charge us anything and instead, gave us vegetables. There were some rich people who came to her doorstep to ask for help, but she would only help them depending on her mood.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s eyebrows were tightly knitted and his imposing aura radiated all around the room. A beautiful white figure surfaced in his mind, suddenly. In a low voice, he slowly asked her. ¡°What does she look like?¡± The middle-aged woman scratched her head and said, ¡°Doctor Bai is very beautiful, and has always maintained the appearance of a youngdy. She resembles a fairy.¡± Maintained the appearance of a youngdy? Duan Xingye suddenly jumped and trembled in excitement. ¡°Uncle, could it be that girl who took a ride with us today? It must be her. She even mentioned that grandfather has a stomach disease!¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes were shining like a torch and he saw the middle-aged woman suddenly recall something as she took out her phone. ¡°This is a phone which my son bought for me. I had no idea how to use it at that time. Hence, I went to Doctor Bai for help. There¡¯s a photo of us.¡± She then tapped on the photo gallery and an image appeared. A beautiful youngdy was standing by the middle-age woman¡¯s side. Her beauty was iparable and her deep eyes looking at the camera made it seem as if she was looking directly at him. Duan Feihan was momentarily dazed and subconsciously pursed his thin lips. Duan Xingye tightly held onto the phone and eximed. ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s really the youngdy who took a lift from us in the morning!¡± Duan Feihan asked with indifference. ¡°Where are the vegetables which she gifted us?¡± Vegetables? Duan Xingye was stunned for a moment and suddenly cried out. ¡°Oh no! Don¡¯t tell me the kitchen has fed those to the dogs?¡± Chapter 10: Another Chance To Meet Chapter 10: Another Chance To Meet Editor: Henyee Trantions Their dog was omnivorous and it could also eat vegetables. Duan Xingye dashed towards the kitchen and a short whileter, sounds of crashing and bumping into things could be heard. Duan Feihan caressed the cheap mobile screen and said, ¡°Send this photo to me, and immediately locate this person.¡± His assistant nodded in response. Following this, Duan Feihan exhorted that middle-aged woman in a low voice. ¡°Don¡¯t show this photo to anyone else. Henceforth, you are forbidden to disclose any information regarding her to anyone.¡± There were traces of invisible threat in that ordinary sentence of his, and the middle-aged woman shrunk her neck as she repeatedly nodded. When Duan Feihan looked down at the smiling youngdy in the photo, his expression looked a bit strange and the corner of his lips curled up, unconsciously. I didn¡¯t expect that we would get another opportunity to meet. * After resting for two days in the Bai Family, Bai Chuwei was about to enroll as a Year three student in Henghua Secondary School to officially enter the scenario. Since she had yet to receive her school uniform, she could only wear her personal clothes and report to school. Early in the morning, the sun shone gaily and radiated warmth all over the. Bai Chuwei wore her personal clothings while carrying a bag on her shoulder and came down to the dining room. Bai Yinyin who was seated at the table, looked at Bai Chuwei with a stunned expression. She was nearly falling from the chair. ¡°Y-you¡­ your clothes?¡± Hadn¡¯t she used a pair of scissors to cut her clothes into pieces earlier? How were they intact now? It wasn¡¯t possible! Bai Chuwei¡¯s red lips curled up and she revealed a meaningful smile. ¡°What about my clothes?¡± Bai Yinyin fiercely bit her lips and quickly looked away. She did not dare to meet Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes. She realised that it must be because she had purchased two sets of identical clothes! Dammit! Grandfather was too biased towards Bai Chuwei, this adopted bumpkin. Bai Guofu was seated in the main seat. He praised her and said, ¡°Pretty, very pretty. Ancestor, please take a seat.¡± Bai Chuwei walked to where Bai Yinyin was and leaned down to softly whisper in her ear. ¡°Since you dared to cut my clothes, you had better be careful.¡± Bai Yinyin went stiff from fright and vaguely realized that her uniform had been pulled on for a moment before she saw Bai Chuwei sitting down at the table. Instantly, she held her head high once again. So what if she got to know about this matter. She wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything, anyways! For the past few days, Bai Guofu had been staying in their vi due to Bai Chuwei¡¯s arrival. He asked Bai Chuwei in concern. ¡°Ancestor, are you sure that you wish to enroll in Year 3 of Henghua Secondary School? There are only three months before the college entrance examination starts.¡± Bai Chuwei responded in her usual calm manner. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Her motive for enrolling was merely to go through the scenario. Bai Yinyin smeared strawberry jam on her bread and said in an enigmatic tone, ¡°My school has very strict standards. You better not fall behind and score badly. It¡¯ll disgrace the Bai Family.¡± Bai Guofu¡¯s expression instantly turned cold. Bai Yinyin hastily lowered her head and did not dare to continue satirizing Bai Chuwei. She feared that her grandfather would give her another p. Bai Chuwei took a few bites of the bread but then gave up as she found it dry and unappetizing. She then took a piece of napkin to wipe her mouth. Her movements seemed very elegant, which had been deep rooted in her after having lived for five thousand years. The servants cried out surprise as they witnessed her actions. ¡°Bai Yinyin, are you sure that you are giving your phone to me? Does everything inside it belong to me?¡± Bai Chuwei suddenly asked her out of the blue. Bai Yinyin was startled and hastily looked towards her grandfather. She was scared that Bai Chuwei would mention that she had given her a second-hand phone. She spoke hastily, ¡°Since I¡¯ve given it to you, then it¡¯s yours. It has nothing to do with me.¡± She suddenly had an idea and immediatelyined to Bai Guofu. ¡°Grandfather, take a look at how Bai Chuwei is behaving. Isn¡¯t she too greedy? I¡¯ve given her a 256GB mobile phone worth ten thousand yuan and she¡¯s still unsatisfied!¡± Chapter 11: You Better Not Mention That You’re From The Bai Family Chapter 11: You Better Not Mention That You¡¯re From The Bai Family Editor: Henyee Trantions The old man had been thrifty all his life and always felt unhappy about the extravagant expenditure in the family. If her grandfather were to hear that Bai Chuwei was unsatisfied with a mobile phone worth ten thousand yuan, he would definitely have a bad impression of her. Bai Yinyin expectantly looked at Bai Guofu and the white beard on his face slightly trembled before his eyes widened in anger. ¡°Yinyin, what¡¯s the matter with you? Since the ancestor is unsatisfied with a 256GB phone, isn¡¯t there a 512GB one in the market? Purchase the best one for her! Is fifteen thousand yuan insufficient? Will twenty grand be enough?¡± The smile on Bai Yinyin¡¯s face froze and then gradually disappeared. Had her grandfather gone crazy? Bai Yinyin felt as if something was lodged in her throat and she could not utter a single word. On the contrary, Bai Chuwei seated on the other side appeared calm and picked up her school bag as she walked outside. Bai Yinyin had also lost interest in eating breakfast any longer and she carried her bag while following Bai Chuwei¡¯s footsteps. Even though the Bai Family was not extremely affluent, they were still considered to be a powerful family in Sea City. Bai Yinyin was usually chauffeured back and forth from school. As per the new arrangement, the driver would be sending both of them together starting from today. Both girls were seated in the back seat, next to the window on each side. There was enough space between them to amodate two more people. Bai Yinyin suddenly asked her. ¡°Which ss are you in? If we¡¯re in the same ss, you had better not mention that you¡¯re from the Bai Family.¡± Bai Chuwei smiled and recalled. ¡°Year 3 ss 9.¡± Bai Yinyin nearly jumped up in surprise and her voice turned sharp. ¡°Year 3 ss 9? Duan Xingye and Xu Xingchen¡¯s ss? ss 9 is not a ce you can enter simply if you wish for it. Did you take the entrance examination and get good grades?¡± Bai Yinyin had barely managed to enter ss 11! Bai Chuwei shook her head and responded, ¡°Nope, Bai Guofu made the arrangements.¡± When Bai Yinyin heard what she said, she started boiling in anger. Wasn¡¯t grandfather too biased towards this creature? He even went through the back door to get Bai Chuwei enrolled in ss 9! Why had she never enjoyed such preferential treatment from him? Instantly, Bai Yinyin¡¯s sense of insecurity shot through the roof and she stared at Bai Chuwei¡¯s gilt brocade clothes. She gnashed her teeth in anger. The car had already arrived in the vicinity of Henghua Secondary and students in uniform could be seen walking towards the campus, smiling and chatting. Bai Yinyin immediately told the driver to stop the car and threatened Bai Chuwei. ¡°I¡¯ll enter first, you get down five minutester.¡± She did not want them to be seen walking together. There were numerous beautiful girls in Henghua Secondary School, but not only was Bai Chuwei beautiful, her demeanor was outstanding and ethereal. If the both of them walked together, she would definitely appear like the supporting character. Bai Chuwei revealed a look of indifference. She nced at Bai Yinyin who hastily opened the door and walked towards the school gates. Through the window, Bai Chuwei saw some students going up to greet Bai Yinyin. ¡°Yinyin, why do you seem unhappy today?¡± Just as Bai Yinyin was thinking of ruining Bai Chuwei¡¯s reputation, she suddenly heard a loud tearing sound. Countless threads on her white uniform suddenly loosened and tore into pieces. The fallen garments included even her inner innershirt, resulting in herce bra getting revealed in public. ¡°Ahhh! My clothes!¡± Bai Yinyin covered herself and screamed. The surrounding students were all stunned and some wretched male students even fished out their phones¡­ Bai Chuwei stroked her jaw and enjoyed the scene with great interest before she checked the time and exited the car. Since Bai Yinyin was in a mess, a male student took off his sweaty, stinking jacket and draped it around her shoulders. During this turmoil, Bai Chuwei calmly walked past them. Chapter 12: Doctor Bai, Why Are You Here? Chapter 12: Doctor Bai, Why Are You Here? Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Oh my god, who¡¯s the girl who just walked past? Isn¡¯t she too elegant? Just like a goddess!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, she¡¯s so beautiful. Speaking of which, I hadn¡¯t expected Bai Yinyin, who appears to be pure, would wear a sexyce bra underneath. Tsk.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The surrounding discussion caused the embarrassed Bai Yinyin to stomp her foot in anger. Why did her uniform tear for no reason? It must have been because of Bai Chuwei that b*tch, but she had no evidence of hermitting the act and could only reign in her anger. * After entering the campus, Bai Chuwei went to the Year 3 head teacher¡¯s office by following the directions. Henghua Secondary School was spread across an extremelyrge area and the interior was also beautiful, with several small gardens. The fragrance of those flowers lingered all around the school. Bai Chuwei shook her head and sighed as she recalled that thisnd had been a random burial ce several hundred years ago. Upon entering the office, she saw a bespectacled middle-aged man seated before his desk while preparing the lesson materials. ¡°Good morning Teacher Zhou.¡± Zhou Feng looked up and traces of astonishment shed through his eyes when he met with Bai Chuwei¡¯s gaze. Nheless, he calmed down soon after and furrowed his brows when he opened the register. ¡°You must be Bai Chuwei?¡± ¡°I heard that you insisted on entering Year 3 ss 9. Thank you very much for liking my ss, but ss 9 students have to undergo a great deal of stress as tests happen rather frequently here. Perhaps you will suffer a lot in terms of studies.¡± Zhou Feng tactfully advised her. He reckoned that a student who was forcefully squeezed in by the old man of Bai Family was probably not someone who had outstanding results. Bai Chuwei smiled and responded in a pleasant tone. ¡°Teacher Zhou, there¡¯s no need to worry about me. My purpose of attending school is not for my studies.¡± Zhou Feng, ¡°???¡± What? He almost thought that his ears had malfunctioned! If it¡¯s not to study, then it¡¯s because of¡­ someone? Duan Xingye and Xu Xingchen of ss 9 were popr figures in Henghua Secondary School and all the girls were fond of them. Instantly, Zhou Feng¡¯s impression of Bai Chuwei went spiralling down. However, that was none of his business but Zhou Feng secretly felt that he had received a troublesome student. He then stood up with a grim expression and walked towards the ssroom while asking Bai Chuwei to follow behind. Bai Chuwei spoke up, ¡°Teacher Zhou.¡± Zhou Feng furrowed his brows and gave a reminder. ¡°Student Bai, even though you¡¯re not here to focus on your studies, you cannot disturb the other students. Otherwise, I can only invite you to leave the ss.¡± Bai Chuwei shook her head with a smile and said bluntly, ¡°That¡¯s not it. Teacher Zhou, I wanted to say that you¡¯re sick. You¡¯re sick in the head.¡± Zhou Feng had been angered to the extent that he smiled in fury. ¡°Student Bai, why are you cursing me?¡± Were all students like this nowadays? They did not respect teachers in the slightest and even wished them to be sick? Moreover, did Bai Chuwei think that she had X-ray eyes? What nonsense! Zhou Feng was extremely furious and said, ¡°Student Bai, it doesn¡¯t matter if you came to ss 9 not for your studies but to chase boys, you¡­¡± Bai Chuwei shrugged her shoulders and interrupted him. ¡°Have you been staying upte at night and smoking frequently in recent days? In addition, are you experiencing recurring headaches? Are there times when you are unable to speak clearly? Also, do you feel like your vision has been declining?¡± It did not matter if he did not believe her, as he woulde begging when something happened in the future. Zhou Feng stiffened imperceptibly. She had¡­ she had hit the mark. He was a teacher of Year 3 students and his sleeping time was no more than the students as he would often stay upte to create lesson materials or grade test papers. As a result, he did not pay much attention to his health. ¡°Teacher Zhou, I¡¯ll wait for you to find me.¡± Bai Chuwei revealed a meaningful smile. Just as Zhou Feng wanted to say something, a young man ran up behind him. ¡°Teacher Zhou, I wish to apply for leave these few days, I¡­?¡± The student suddenly stopped speaking. His maic voice suddenly became ecstatic as he said the next words, ¡°Doctor Bai, why are you here?¡± Chapter 13: Her Name Is Bai Chuwei? Chapter 13: Her Name Is Bai Chuwei? Editor: Henyee Trantions Duan Xingye was not having a good time these past few days after verifying the miracle doctor¡¯s existence. The men, whom his Fourth Uncle sent to Shuangbai Road, had visited every single house to search for someone named Bai Chuwei, but all of them returned without any results. They even wondered if the miracle doctor had left for the mountain again. When he saw his grandfather eating some of those vegetables with great difficulty, he did not know if it was a psychological effect or something else, but Duan Xingye felt that his grandfather¡¯s condition had be slightly better. Even so, the effect was only temporary as the main illness still existed. Therefore, they had to locate that miracle doctor real soon. He was here to ask for a few days leave to visit every single vi in the area with doctor Bai¡¯s photo to find out her whereabouts. However, who would expect him to run into her at school? Duan Xingye was instantly energized and his eyes shone in amazement. All of a sudden, wind blew across the long stretch of corridor and his clothes were blown upwards, exposing his fair skin and protruding abdominal muscles, resulting in loud female screams. Zhou Feng looked at him and asked doubtfully. ¡°Are you going to apply for leave or not?¡± Duan Xingye shook his head like a rattle drum and looked very enthusiastic suddenly. He even carried Bai Chuwei¡¯s bag and weed her into the ss before putting down her belongings on the empty seat beside him. His enthusiasm instantly attracted the piercing gazes of the female students in ss and very soon, jealousy filled the entire ssroom. A female student on the chubbier side, said with a jealous tone, ¡°I thought Duan Xingye was uninterested in girls? But this female student is too beautiful and elegant. Even Duan Xingye couldn¡¯t resist her charms!¡± Another male student who was literally salivating after seeing the new student, joined the conversation. ¡°It¡¯s more like Duan Xingye struck the jackpot. She¡¯s a transfer student?¡± It turned out that the boy, Duan Xingye, who had given her a lift down the mountain was the male cannon fodder in the novel. Bai Chuwei¡¯s gaze towards Duan Xingye changed slightly before she looked at the man beside him. Xu Xingchen, the male lead of this novel. Xu Xingchen sat next to Duan Xingye, with an aisle separating the both of them. He then threw a few more nces at Bai Chuwei before revealing a smile and greeting her. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Xu Xingchen, a good friend of Xingye.¡± Bai Chuwei gave him a meaningful smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m Bai Chuwei. Nice to meet you.¡± The male lead of the novel, Xu Xingchen would follow the heroine, Tong Qingyan from campus all the way to their entry into the society. Throughout the novel, the author had given the main couple a smooth and sweet life, while cruelly torturing the moronic female side character. Moreover, Xu Xingchen was a typical handsome and smart but miserable male lead. In fact, he was an illegitimate son of the eldest son of the Duan Family, making him Duan Xingye¡¯s half brother. After Duan Xingye¡¯s passing away, Xu Xingchen would officially enter the Duan Family at that time. Even at the time of his death, the pitiful Duan Xingye would remain unaware that his self-proimed best friend was in fact, his half brother, who wanted to rob his family assets. And as for Duan Feihan, the fourth son of the Duan Family, he would fight against Xu Xingchen until the very end. Duan Feihan¡¯s tall and upright figure suddenly surfaced in her mind. It seemed like the much coveted piece of meat seated on the backseat of the car that day was Duan Feihan. ¡°Doctor Bai, please have a seat!¡± Duan Xingye was extremely enthusiastic, to the extent that he used his sleeves as a rag to wipe the seat for her before inviting her to sit. ¡°Doctor Bai, my grandfather is in a much better condition because of you. Thank you so much!¡± Zhou Feng who was standing at the podium revealed a puzzled expression as he heard Duan Xingye say, ¡°Doctor?¡± Almost everyone in the school knew that Duan Xingye¡¯s grandfather was critically ill, and also the fact that the entire Duan Family was searching for a doctor who could cure his illness. Could it be that Bai Chuwei had indeed studied medicine and knew how to identify illnesses and hence had detected that he was ill as well? Impossible! Her age did not seem to align with an average doctor¡¯s age, and in addition, aspiring medical students had to attend the Medical University. He would never believe such nonsense! Zhou Feng turned grim and coughed out. ¡°That¡¯s enough! Lessons are starting, so stop talking!¡± Duan Xingye could not be bothered with the teacher as he took out a ck mobile phone from his drawer and sent a message through WeChat. XingYeYeYa: [Uncle! Uncle! I found that miracle doctor! Bai Chuwei is my ssmate!] A minuteter, the other side replied. DuanFeiHan: [Her name is Bai Chuwei?] Duan Xingye: ??? Why was his Fourth Uncle¡¯s focus always extremely weird? Chapter 14: I’ll Fetch You Guys Today After School Chapter 14: I¡¯ll Fetch You Guys Today After School Editor: Henyee Trantions Ritz Entertainment. President¡¯s office was located on the top floor of the office building that was tall enough to touch the clouds. A handsome young man in a smoky grey suit was seated in an expensive rotating chair, made of the highest quality leather. One of his hands was on his chin and another was holding a ck-colored mobile phone. His eyes were deep and extremely focused. The assistant was secretly shocked upon witnessing that scene as he entered after knocking on the door. There were indeed times where the Heavens were unfair, such as when giving his boss an outstanding family background and impable appearance. He also considered himself to be fortunate enough to see such a boss everyday, whose handsomeness had overpowered all the male artists under thepany. ¡°President Duan, here¡¯s your coffee.¡± Duan Feihan put down his phone. He got up and went towards the small-sized bedroom used for resting inside his office. He then opened the wardrobe where rows of expensive high-end suits were hanging. Every article of clothing there was of premium quality, and handwoven, valued at tens of thousands yuan. However, he seemed to be unsatisfied at this moment. His brows were furrowed as he mumbled to himself. ¡°Is this all?¡± The assistant hastily came inside and panicked. ¡°For the time being, these are the only clothes avable inside the office for meeting important clients.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s brows rose up slightly. ¡°There are no appropriate clothes for meeting someone of the opposite sex?¡± All of these seemed to be too formal and sombre in his eyes. The assistant: ??? Wait a minute, did he hear that wrong? M-Meet someone of the opposite sex? Did the boss mean what he was thinking? Wasn¡¯t the old man of the Duan Family critically ill? But his boss, the iron tree, was blooming during a time like this? The assistant¡¯s imagination ran wild for a moment before he noticed the sharp and chilly gaze and immediately bowed. ¡°President Duan, please rest assured. I¡¯ll head down to purchase a set of clothing at this very instant.¡± Duan Feihan returned to his desk, picked up his phone and glimpsed at the WeChat conversation with Duan Xingye. He had sent a message to Duan Xingye several minutes ago. DuanFeiHan: [I¡¯ll fetch you guys after school today.] * All the students were slightly restless after such a beautiful fairy appeared in ss 9. Furthermore, the teacher-in-charge, also seemed to be out of sorts. No one knew what he was thinking. Bai Chuwei noticed that the male students were frequently dropping their erasers, rulers and textbooks as an excuse to turn around and glimpse at her. She frowned and snapped her slender fingers, reducing her sense of presence to the lowest. Bai Chuwei hade up with a name for this self-invented skill, and called it ¡®Ignore¡¯. As expected, her ssmates started treating her as invisible and obediently looked in front at the ckboard. Bai Chuwei held up her chin as she gazed out of the window, where rows of birds of all different colors had flown to where she was seated. Duan Xingye, who was the only one paying attention to her, was extremely shocked by the scene. In particr, when he saw Bai Chuwei reaching out to stroke the head of those birds. Duan Xingye: !!! Weren¡¯t all birds afraid of humans? So why were they wanting Bai Chuwei to stroke their heads? This was one weird scene! Duan Xingye honestly felt that this miracle doctor was really mysterious and he secretly whispered to her. ¡°Doctor Bai, stop ying. Zhou Feng is an extremely strict teacher.¡± He was rather yful and as a result, had been punished by Zhou Feng enough times in the past to write reflection reports. Bai Chuwei retracted her hands and smiled in response. ¡°Zhou Feng? You better worry about your preparations for the college entrance examination, instead.¡± Oh wait! Duan Xingye, this male cannon fodder would not manage to live until the college entrance examination. Duan Xingye looked towards the podium, suspiciously. Zhou Feng, who always had sharp eyes, seemed to not have noticed that they were conversing. Had he gone blind? Bai Chuwei said, ¡°Even if you were to do push ups on the floor at this moment, he wouldn¡¯t pay any attention to you.¡± He did not know if Bai Chuwei meant it as a joke, but eventually, he did not choose to behave recklessly in Zhou Feng¡¯s ss. When the school bell finally rang, Zhou Feng swiftly left the ssroom with the lesson materials in his hand, preparing to return to his office to write his lesson ns. Chapter 15: Young Lady With Eighth-Grader Syndrome Chapter 15: Young Lady With Eighth-Grader Syndrome Editor: Henyee Trantions Teacher Li, responsible for teaching Chinese, scoffed as she looked through Bai Chuwei¡¯s information on the register. The page was nk and there was no mention of her previous schools or grades. She wondered how the girl managed to sneak her way into their school. Teacher Li furrowed her brows and muttered to herself. ¡°Could it be that her results are sockluster that she did not want to bring that information along? I¡¯d like to see what kind of troublemaker this new student is!¡± In fact, she was a little anxious. If Bai Chuwei was a bad student, she might end up having her bonus deducted because of her. Just then, Teacher Li saw Zhou Feng returning to his desk and opened her mouth to say hello. However, the files in Zhou Feng¡¯s hands dropped at that moment and he copsed. ¡°Teacher Zhou, what¡¯s wrong? Please wake up! Someone help, please!¡± * After the lesson ended, the students in ss had all enthusiastically started a conversation with Bai Chuwei. All of a sudden, a tall and handsome figure entered from outside while holding arge pile of new books and ced it by Bai Chuwei¡¯s feet. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile, ¡°Student Bai, these are the new books I collected on your behalf. I hope that you can integrate into our ss as soon as possible.¡± This person was¡­ Xu Xingchen The surrounding female students shrieked in excitement. A handsome and gentlemanly man was someone they admired the most! Bai Chuwei revealed a polite smile on her beautiful face. Based on her memories of the original novel, the original owner entered Henghua Secondary School as an adopted daughter. She had no parents to care for her since childhood and her foster parents were not exactly kind. As a result, the male lead¡¯s actions had instantly won her favor and affection. Unfortunately, Xu Xingchen¡¯s motive was only to maintain his image of a kind and warmhearted person in front of the students. Moreover, he did not see them as his ssmates, but instead, as his futurework of contacts. Therefore, the students at present were merely the male lead¡¯s tools. Bai Chuwei calmly thanked him in response to his help. The smile on Xu Xingchen¡¯s face stiffened slightly. He had not expected Bai Chuwei to be so aloof. Neither did she show any surprise nor did she blush like any normal girl would do in a situation like this. Bai Chuwei casually flipped through the Chinese textbook which she had picked up and her expression suddenly turned strange. She thenmented in an absent-minded way. ¡°I hadn¡¯t expected students these days to memorize the poems that I wrote in the past.¡± Duan Xingye had an astonished expression on his face and he stretched his neck to take a look. ¡°Huh? You wrote this ¡®Mountain Temple Paradise¡¯?¡± Bai Chuwei nodded. She had lived for five thousand years and people in the olden days were fond of writing poems and lyrics. As a result, she had also written some, but who would have known that a poem she casually wrote, had be an essential text for students to know¡­ A tall girl with a ponytail, sneered and said, ¡°Ha. Nowadays, people don¡¯t even need to prepare a draft before they brag. This widely recognized poem has now be yours? Why don¡¯t you im to know Li Dabai, as well?¡± Bai Chuwei recalled the past and nodded in acknowledgement. ¡°I do know him. We were friends in the past.¡± He always loved to pull her along to drink and write poems once they were drunk. Everyone else: ¡­ Everyone else: ¡­ Could it be that their new ssmate had the Eighth-Grader Syndrome? The girl in the ponytail revealed a disgusted gaze and internally scolded Bai Chuwei to be an idiot. She couldn¡¯t help but ridicule her. ¡°Tsk, that¡¯s enough. You might as well say that the ssic1 ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯ was written by you? Bai Chuwei quirked her brows and flipped the textbook to thest few pages. She was honestly stunned. She had not descended the mountains for mere twenty years, but people nowadays were regarding the eunuch novel that she randomly wrote two hundred years ago, as a top-ranked ssic? It was now a must-read ssic in the country?? Chapter 16: Walking Tang Monk’s Flesh Is Coming? Chapter 16: Walking Tang Monk¡¯s Flesh Is Coming? Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression seemed ratherplicated. However, as a person who had lived for more than five thousand years, she recovered her usual calmness very soon. Duan Xingye paid no heed to Bai Chuwei¡¯s Eighth-Grader Syndrome and even said politely, ¡°Doctor Bai, can you save my grandfather? Money is not a problem.¡± Bai Chuwei maintained her calm andposed look. ¡°The wealth of ten families like Duan Family added together is less than half of mybined wealth.¡± The wealth she had umted over the past thousands of years was truly iparable to the normal people. Everyone: ¡­ As expected, she has Eighth-Grader Syndrome. What kind of family was the Duan Family? A rich and powerful family with hundreds of years of background! The most influential families in China were the eight aristocratic families, and it was said that they were once servants of a certain powerful figure. They had been supported right up to the top of the food chain, but Duan Family was an oddity among them. They had relied on their capability to expand to their current standing. Moreover, under the magnificent management of Duan Family¡¯s fourth son, there were subtle signs of them pushing the eight aristocratic families under their feet! However, Bai Chuwei was looking down on that Duan Family? Did she have a screw loose? The surrounding students levelled their gazes of ridicule on her. Wasn¡¯t a good looking girl without brains simply a vase? Even though Duan Xingye was speechless, he still implored. ¡°Doctor Bai, as long as you can save my family, the Duan Family can agree to anything!¡± A tall and slender figure suddenly surfaced in her mind and she subconsciously smirked. ¡°Can I ask for a person?¡± A person? Before Duan Xingye had a chance to respond, a rather irritating and sharp female voice spoke up in an enigmatic tone, ¡°The school is not a marketce. For those female students whoe to school looking for romance, please do not lead the other students astray.¡± Bai Chuwei looked up at their Chinese teacher, a woman with light makeup, who seemed to be in her thirties and said, ¡°You¡¯re also sick.¡± Li Juan¡¯splexion instantly turned green. ¡°Y-you dare to insult a teacher?¡± The students around her were shocked. Bai Chuwei was indeed a courageous person. She even dared to offend Teacher Li, who was well-known for being really strict with students? Bai Chuwei responded in a calm tone. ¡°It¡¯s a fact.¡± She then gently rubbed the space in between her brows as she wondered about the lifestyle of people for the past two decades. It seemed that each and every one of them was more or less ill. Li Juan immediately wanted to chase her out, but she recalled that this student had been personally sent in by the Bai Family. If she drove her out, wouldn¡¯t it be equivalent to giving the old man a p? She looked at Bai Chuwei¡¯s tender and smooth face before gritting her teeth. Then, she said in a furious voice, ¡°We won¡¯t be discussing lessons today. Prepare for a test!¡± The whole ss howled and there were some who looked at Bai Chuwei, resentfully. Anguage test was different from other subjects as they had to write arge chunk of words, and their hands would ache. This new ssmate of theirs was a disaster! Bai Chuwei was rather interested in the modern examination. However, her brows were tightly knitted after she went through the papers. Why did it test her on the poems which she wrote, and in addition, she had to analyze the meaning behind each word? From her memory, she had not thought so deeply back then when she wrote those poems, but these groups of descendants hade up with so much logic on her behalf? * The news of Bai Chuwei¡¯s appearance in school and the morning debacle of Bai Yinyin¡¯s clothes getting torn along with the reveal of her sexy undergarments, had been spreading rampantly across the school forums. Bai Chuwei nced at the used phone in her bag and thought that she should purchase a new one instead. ¡°Doctor Bai, can you please take a look at my grandfather?¡± Bai Chuwei left the schoolpound without turning back. ¡°I¡¯m busy, I¡¯ll check him another day.¡± Duan Xingye nearly cried out. She could wait, but his grandfather couldn¡¯t. He then ran up to her and said, ¡°Please don¡¯t leave, my Fourth Uncle is making his way here.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s footsteps paused and suddenly turned around as her eyes faintly glowed. ¡°You mean, that walking piece of Tang Monk¡¯s flesh1 ising?¡± Chapter 17: You Smell So Good Chapter 17: You Smell So Good Editor: Henyee Trantions Just as Bai Chuwei said that, a sleek ck car steadily stopped by her side. The impable-looking man seated inside frowned and his gaze on Bai Chuwei contained a wisp of doubt. Why¡­ did she call him Tang Monk¡¯s flesh yet again? The evening sunlight shone through the car¡¯s window, making Duan Feihan look increasingly handsome. His facial features appeared noble, causing passers-by to suck in cold air. ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re finally here. Doctor Bai doesn¡¯t wish to check up on grandfather¡¯s illness.¡± Duan Xingye went over andined. The door opened and a pair of slender long legs came out first, followed by his tall upper body, and almost every single frame could be used as a screensaver. Duan Feihan¡¯s slender fingers straightened his cuffs and he stared at the petite Bai Chuwei who was giving off an outstanding demeanor. ¡°Miss Bai, my father is gravely ill. Regardless of the price, I earnestly request you to treat his illness.¡± Bai Chuwei had an indiscernible expression on her face as she said, ¡°Regardless of the price?¡± Her gaze was currently sizing up the man. As expected of a man that the female lead, Tong Qingyan, pursued but failed to acquire, he was so handsome to the point that he was wless. In the original novel, the man whom the female lead initially liked was the Duan Family¡¯s fourth young master, Duan Feihan. But, he was a workaholic who only loved his career and turned a blind eye to Tong Qingyan¡¯s adoration. As a result, she was emotionally hurt due to dejection and thus, turned to the male lead¡¯s embrace and they worked together to deal with Duan Feihan. Duan Feihan wore an indiscernible expression and his low, yet maic voice slowly replied. ¡°What price does Miss Bai wish to ask of me?¡± Duan Xingye was confused as he sensed the weird atmosphere. What were they talking about? Bai Chuwei¡¯s fingernails gently scraped her chin and she smiled suddenly. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll talk about it after I look at the patient.¡± She agreed! Moreover, they had yet to even talk about the remuneration. True to the rumors, she was very moody. His fourth uncle personally opened the door for Bai Chuwei, and Duan Xingye wondered if it was due to the respect he had for her. Bai Chuwei did not even blink as she epted the gesture, matter of factly and sat in the back seat. Duan Xingye was about to follow suit, but was suddenly kicked on his ankles. Duan Feihan¡¯s chilly voice sounded in his ear. ¡°Sit in the front.¡± Duan Xingye: ?? Huh? He had to sit in the front again? Duan Xingye could never disobey his fourth uncle, so he did as asked, in a resigned manner. Duan Feihan made his way into the car and the faint traces of spiritual energy leaked out from the Buddha bracelet on his hand. Bai Chuwei took in a deep breath and could not help but say, ¡°You smell so good.¡± Duan Feihan: ¡­ He disliked using perfume, so how in the world would he smell good? Duan Xingye, seated in front, suddenly realised something and asked. ¡°Fourth Uncle, did you meet with an important client today?¡± His uncle was dressed rather sharply, as if it had been specially prepared. Duan Feihan nced at Bai Chuwei. Her expression was normal, not bothering to notice whether he was dressed differentlypared to the previous time, in the mountains. He then lowered his head and said faintly, ¡°No.¡± Duan Xingye scratched his head in doubt. Was that right? His Fourth Uncle usually didn¡¯t behave like this! The ck car slowly drove away from the school entrance and passed by a white car. Bai Yinyin seated in the white car rubbed her eyes and suspected if she had seen wrongly. She seemed to have witnessed Bai Chuwei seated in that car. Didn¡¯t that car belong to the Duan Family? Bai Chuwei, that country bumpkin was acquainted with the Duan Family? What nonsense! Soon enough, Bai Chuwei¡¯s phone rang from within her bag. Chapter 18: You Talk Too Much Chapter 18: You Talk Too Much Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei opened her backpack that contained nothing except for the lone phone inside. This was the second hand phone which Bai Yinyin had passed to her. Even though she had lived for five thousands years and gave no heed to materialistic things, she did not like using previously-owned items. She furrowed her brows and picked up the call. Before she could even open her mouth to speak, the other party started scolding her like a machine gun. ¡°Bai Chuwei, where th f*ck are you? You can walk home by yourself if you don¡¯te to the car right this instant!¡± If not for the fear that her grandfather would hit her, Bai Yinyin would have abandoned her and left by now. Bai Chuwei replied calmly. ¡°I have something on today.¡± Bai Yinyin became increasingly suspicious. That person in the ck car couldn¡¯t really be Bai Chuwei, right? How was that possible? She was only a country bumpkin who hade down the mountains recently. Bai Yinyin told herself that she must have seen it wrongly? She crossed her arms and scoffed. ¡°You¡¯ve only arrived at Sea City and you¡¯re already roaming around. Bai Chuwei, if you are going to mess around with men, you had better not disgrace our Bai Family in the process!¡± Bai Chuwei appeared indifferent and responded. ¡°Qi Tian, Cui Enze, Lu Hailiang, Di Zongping¡­¡± In fact, who was the one messing with men? Duan Feihan seated on the other side wore an obscure expression. These seemed to be men¡¯s names¡­ On the other end of the line, Bai Yinyin¡¯s expression drastically changed and she was shocked. These were all the men whom she had been texting at the same time recently, but how did Bai Chuwei get to know about it? ¡°You¡­ you¡­,¡± Bai Yinyin was instantly deted and she hastily hung up. Bai Chuwei nced at the disconnected call and chuckled. She had lived for more than five thousand years. How could she lose to a brat like Bai Yinyin? Duan Xingye asked in surprise. ¡°Aren¡¯t these the second generation rich kids from our school? How does Doctor Bai know of them?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s red lips curled up. ¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡± Duan Xingye instantly blushed due to Bai Chuwei¡¯s beautiful and provocative looks. He hastily turned around and looked straight. However, the temperature in the car seemed to have dropped suddenly. When Duan Feihan saw that Bai Chuwei was about to put her phone back inside, he asked her politely. ¡°Miss Bai, to be able to reach you, can you give me your contact information?¡± His behavior appeared to be due to his father¡¯s illness and nothing could be said against it. ¡°There¡¯s no contact information to give. I do not have a phone.¡± The three people including the driver inside the car: ¡­ She didn¡¯t have a phone? Then what did she use to speak with someone on the line just a moment ago? She was tantly bullsh*tting without batting an eyelid! Duan Feihan¡¯s slender fingers inter-crossed and he said softly, ¡°Then I¡¯ll get a new phone for Miss Baiter.¡± Bai Chuwei raised her brow and looked at Duan Feihan in surprise. She felt that this cold-looking man seemed to be somewhat over-enthusiastic. She reckoned it was most probably due to his gravely ill father. It was simr to how Duan Xingye had approached her for his grandfather. In the end, Bai Chuwei did not respond to hisment. While the car was driving towards the Duan Family¡¯s vi, Duan Xingye asked her with worry in his voice. ¡°Doctor Bai, although it¡¯s presumptuous to ask, but can you cure cancer? My grandfather has stomach cancer.¡± Bai Chuwei fluttered her eyelids and said in azy voice, ¡°One, if he¡¯s not dead yet, two, it depends upon my mood.¡± Even though the way she spoke was infuriating, it was normal for experts to have some sort of entricity. Duan Xingye consoled himself and asked again. ¡°Then how did you know my grandfather had a stomach disease previously? Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curled and she smiled mysteriously. ¡°Through calctions.¡± Duan Xingye: !!! Duan Xingye: ??? Huh? Through calctions? Wasn¡¯t she a miraculous doctor? Why did she suddenly change her profession to turn into a divinator? Was this considered holding multiple jobs at one time? At that moment, the questions in his mind multiplied and he could not help but ask again. ¡°But¡­¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s chilly voice suddenly arose in the car. ¡°You talk too much.¡± Chapter 19: Taking A Mile When Given An Inch Chapter 19: Taking A Mile When Given An Inch Editor: Henyee Trantions Duan Xingye felt indignant. ¡°Uncle, I only wanted to know a bit more about Doctor Bai.¡± When did he be talkative? He spoke the same as always and had never heard his Fourth Uncle bringing this issue up, ever before. Towards the silly male cannon fodder, who was nearing his deathbed, Bai Chuwei felt a bit more lenient and smiled as she answered. ¡°We are deskmates. There¡¯s no need to call me Doctor Bai. You can call me by my name.¡± Duan Xingye did not even have the slightest hint of hesitation and immediately called out. ¡°Weiwei!¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes darkened visibly. Bai Chu Wei: ¡­ Wow, he¡¯s good at taking a mile when given an inch. Weiwei? Everyone else was fearful of her and called her ancestor out of respect. Who in the world would dare to directly address her by her name? However, many years ago, there was someone who used to scream his lungs out, calling her name as well. However, that never happened again in the future. Bai Chuwei¡¯s heart meridian suddenly throbbed with pain and the faint spiritual energy the man radiated, entered her nose. Instantly, she felt alive once again. Breathing in the spiritual energy which he gave out was much more effective than consuming those piles of bitter spiritual medicine! Duan Feihan noticed Bai Chuwei¡¯s slight change in features and asked in a low voice. ¡°Miss Bai, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Chuwei wore a strange expression on her face. Could it be that Duan Feihan had managed to notice that she was in pain? This Tang Monk was indeed worthy of his reputation and was extremely sensitive to his surroundings. Bai Chuwei shook her head, then turned to look outside the window. Her satin-like ink ck hair swept across Duan Feihan¡¯s wide shoulders. The Duan Family was located in the forest of the southern side of Sea City. It¡¯s exterior resembled ancient Chinese style, with mountains on one side and rivers on the other. The construction standards could be said to be at the peak of ancientndscapes. Bai Chuwei¡¯s delicate eyebrows gradually started frowning, it felt as if the road was¡­ inexplicably familiar. She had lived for five thousands years and her brain had stored too many memories. Could it be that she was mistaken about this? As the car entered the Duan Family¡¯s courtyard, a vast rockery could be seen. Bai Chuwei thought that if the Duan Family¡¯s residence was used to film an ancient costume drama, it would be extremely fitting. Duan Feihan immediately stepped out when the car stopped and just as one of his feet was outside, he saw Duan Xingye getting down from the front passenger seat and enthusiastically opened the door for Bai Chuwei. He even carried her bag on her behalf. His expression immediately darkened. He had never realized that this nephew of his would be so warmhearted towards females. Before Bai Chuwei was invited to enter, a beautiful figure stepped out. She was dressed in Henghua Secondary School¡¯s uniform. A white shirt and a id skirt revealed her slender, and white, long legs, making her look nothing less than a pure campus goddess. This was the female lead of the novel, Tong Qingyan. Since it was a sweet and indulgent novel, beautiful looks and good family background was the standard setting for a female lead. Tong Qingyan was a little princess born with a golden spoon and was secretly in love with the fourth young master of the Duan Family. Oh that¡¯s right, the man standing beside her would be the future viin of the novel. Tong Qingyan¡¯s eyes sized up Bai Chuwei¡¯s appearance as she stepped out of the car. For someone who had always been proud of her looks, she could not find the slightest sense of superiority in front of Bai Chuwei. Not only that, her demeanor was also iparable. It was widely known that Duan Feihan never allowed any females inside his personal car and she had been no exception to this rule. However, she clearly saw this girling out of his car! Tong Qingyan was slightly nervous, but still managed to maintain a normal smile as she said, ¡°Fourth young master, Xingye, you just returned? I came to visit your grandfather and I was just about to leave.¡± Duan Feihan had an indifferent expression on his face and he nodded slightly. This was considered as his acknowledgement to her presence. Tong Qingyan was disappointed. She knew that he had never shown any warmth towards her and the reason why they were still in contact was merely because her aunt was about to marry into the Duan Family. Her gaze thennded on Bai Chuwei and she asked in a seemingly casual way. ¡°I wonder who is thisdy here?¡± Chapter 20: I Won’t Treat This Illness Chapter 20: I Won¡¯t Treat This Illness Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Bai Chuwei.¡± Tong Qingyan frowned. ¡°Bai Chuwei? The one from our school?¡± The transfer student who just arrived and was extremely famous on the school forums on her first day? It was said that she had the eighth-grade syndrome. She loved to lie and brag, and had even dered that Teacher Li was sick in front of all the students. It might be due to the numerous ¡®bad news¡¯ rted to her on her first day of school or perhaps because of a sense of crisis that she felt, but Tong Qingyan did not have a favourable impression about her. Bai Chuwei looked at the female lead with great interest. All of a sudden, her lips curled up and she asked. ¡°How are you rted to Chen Meihua?¡± Tong Qingyan¡¯s expression turned chilly. ¡°Chen Meihua is my grandmother who passed away ten years ago. Student Bai, how can you directly call out my grandmother¡¯s name?¡± So unmannered of her! Moreover, how did she get to know her grandmother¡¯s name? Bai Chuwei shook her head and sighed. If she knew that Chen Meihua¡¯s future granddaughter was Tong Qingyan, the female lead, she would not have helped her in the past. Forty years ago, she happened to help a middle-aged woman, who had been abducted and sold to the mountain area for ten years. She had suffered from domestic abuse day and night before she managed to escape with great difficulty. Bai Chuwei found her to be pitiful and had offered shelter. Who knew that her granddaughter would be the female lead of this novel? Bai Chuwei felt that she had made a mistake and should have exhorted more from her back then. She lost all her interest in the topic and did not wish to acknowledge Tong Qingyan any longer. Shezily asked. ¡°Where¡¯s the patient?¡± Duan Xingye hastily answered her. ¡°My grandfather is in the backyard. Weiwei, I¡¯ll lead you there.¡± Tong Qingyan looked at Bai Chuwei¡¯s departing view and could not help but bite her lips. No one had ever dared to ignore her or impolitely call out her grandmother¡¯s name like this. She looked at Duan Feihan andined in a whiny tone. ¡°Fourth young master, she¡­¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s cold voice cut her off. ¡°She¡¯s my esteemed guest.¡± Tong Qingyan was dumbfounded. Esteemed guest? Why was Bai Chuwei an esteemed guest whom Duan Feihan personally brought along? Just as she wanted to ask further, he turned around and took long strides in the direction that Bai Chuwei had walked towards. As Tong Qingyan stood rooted on the spot, she began to feel extremely uneasy. * Bai Chuwei followed Duan Xingye and walked through the small garden. She passed by the rockery where the flowers were blooming and gave off a pleasant fragrance. She then looked around the surroundings and her expression became increasingly odd, while Duan Xingye looked rather excited. Bai Chuwei frowned and asked him. ¡°Your family has always been staying here, or did you move here recently?¡± Duan Xingye had no idea why Bai Chuwei asked that question. But he answered in a casual tone. ¡°From the moment I was born, I¡¯ve always stayed here.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression instantly darkened. By now, they had arrived at the backyard where the Duan Family¡¯s old man was staying. There were bodyguards and anxious doctors in the yard, along with a faint smell of medicine and disinfectants in the air. The bedroom door was open and she took a glimpse inside. She could vaguely see a white-haired old man with a sallowplexion, and it was evident that he did not have much time left. Bai Chuwei¡¯s palm-sized face instantly turned ck. ¡°I won¡¯t treat this illness.¡± Bai Chuwei uttered these words coldly and retraced her steps. Duan Xingye: ??? ¡°Weiwei, Doctor Bai, where are you heading? Why won¡¯t you treat my grandfather? Please don¡¯t leave.¡± Duan Xingye hastily chased after her. However, Bai Chuwei was unexpectedly fast, to the extent that he suspected she had participated in runningpetitions in the past. In the end, Duan Xingye was unable to catch up with her. A tall figure suddenly appeared before her and blocked her path. His maic voice slowly sounded from above her head. ¡°Miss Bai, why are you leaving all of a sudden?¡± Chapter 21: Would He Dare He Stand And Speak To Me In That Tone Chapter 21: Would He Dare He Stand And Speak To Me In That Tone Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression was extremely cold. ¡°I do not wish to treat this illness. Go find someone else.¡± Duan Xingye, who had finally managed to catch up to her, nearly cried. Hadn¡¯t they agreed upon it earlier? Why did she suddenly renege on their agreement? His grandfather was unable to hold on any longer! Duan Feihan was someone who had experienced great storms and waves in his professional life, and managed to sweep everyone away sessfully. He didn¡¯t get perturbed by this sudden change and asked her in a calm expression. ¡°Miss Bai, can I know the reason behind your decision?¡± Bai Chuwei snorted. ¡°I am in a bad mood.¡± It was no wonder why she found Duan Feihan to be familiar. They had met in the past! Duan Feihan maintained hisposure and plucked the sandalwood beads on his left wrist. His low voice, simr to the highest quality cello, sounded next to her ear. ¡°Then, how can I make Miss Bai feel better?¡± Bai Chuwei could not discern if it was intentional or not, but his words felt inexplicably tempting. Duan Xingye interrupted Bai Chuwei¡¯s thoughts as he said, ¡°Why? Why are you in a bad mood after you saw my grandfather?¡± He suddenly became frightened and spected. ¡°Did my grandfather do something unfair to you?¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes darkened slightly and he chided his nephew in a low voice. ¡°Duan Xingye, watch what you say.¡± Duan Xingye repeatedly pped his mouth when he realised that his words sounded as if he was tarnishing her reputation. Just as he wanted to apologize, he saw Bai Chuwei in deep thoughts and she said, ¡°Indeed, you can say that your grandfather has done something extremely unfair to me.¡± Duan Xingye was dumbstruck. Oh my god? His grandfather has always been a serious person and he disliked rich second generation people who bullied the poor by relying on their family background. He had always brought him up to be an upright man! Bai Chuwei had no intention to exin the meaning behind her words and looked at Duan Feihan with a nostalgic look before she said indifferently, ¡°I won¡¯t treat this illness, and you don¡¯t have to send me out, I¡¯ll find the way myself.¡± Duan Xingye panicked for a moment and looked at Bai Chuwei¡¯s departing figure. He anxiously pulled on Duan Feihan¡¯s sleeves and said, ¡°Uncle, do you have any idea about how to convince her? What should we do now!¡± He did not expect such a sudden change of event after they had invited her to their house. Duan Feihan was in deep thought and just as he was about to speak, an immortal-like man with a dignified appearance appeared in front of them and shot a nce at Bai Chuwei. His aged voice that contained traces of disdain said, ¡°If your medical skills arecking, you should admit it honestly. Why pretend that the Duan Family has done something wrong to you?¡± He was an old man with a faint medical fragrance around him. He had a headful of white hair and grizzled goatee, but he didn¡¯t have the kindness of an older senior. Instead, he appeared arrogant. The servants passing by were all shocked. ¡°Is he the almighty figure in the medical industry, senior Liu, Liu Zhen? Oh my god, I¡¯ve heard that he has sessfully cured cancer patients in the past!¡± One of the middle-aged bodyguards spoke up in envy, ¡°I think he is the magnate of the medical industry, senior Liu. He is a renowned character who has been on the news broadcast enough times! But I thought he had retired and no longer treated patients. Also, he is a hundred and twenty years old, but still looks so spirited. He is a prime example of a well maintained old man. I heard that it was Miss Tong who had personally visited him on multiple asions to invite him on behalf of the family head!¡± Bai Chuwei looked at the old man standing before her with an indiscernible smile. ¡°My medical skills arecking?¡± She was someone who had apanied the Farmer?God1, nted hundred thousands of spiritual medicine, and also cured millions of people suffering from various diseases. Forget the current doctors in the world, all the famous doctors recorded in the Chinese history for the past two thousand years, would have to respectfully call her?ancestor1! Liu Zhen¡¯s gaze scornfully swept across Bai Chuwei. ¡°Little brat, how could you possibly know any medical skills at your age, not to mention saving someone?¡± Bai Chuwei answered indifferently. ¡°Go back and ask your teacher if he dares to stand and speak to me in that tone.¡± Chapter 22: You Were The One Who Offered Chapter 22: You Were The One Who Offered Editor: Henyee Trantions Liu Zhen believed his medical skills to be superb and was rather proud of himself. Nheless, the person he respected the most was his deceased teacher. But Bai Weiwei¡¯s tone was full of indifference. ¡°Tonight, I shall let your teacher teach you what it is called having respect for teachers! Liu Zhen turned red from anger and rebuked her harshly. ¡°Little brat, don¡¯t you dare insult my teacher. He passed away decades ago!¡± Bai Chuwei gave him a meaningful smile and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll let him look for you tonight.¡± Liu Zhen became angry to the point that he wanted to leave at once, but the Duan Family¡¯s bodyguards blocked his way and appeased him. ¡°Old Liu, don¡¯t be angry because of this insensible child¡¯s words. Just treat it as giving our third young master and Miss Tong some face. Miss Tong is currently on set with the third young master and they will return really soon.¡± The Miss Tong whom he was referring to was not Tong Qingyan, but instead, her aunt, Tong Yunrou. Liu Zhen¡¯splexion improved greatly upon hearing this and he nced coldly at Bai Chuwei before leaving for the old man Duan¡¯s courtyard. Bai Chuwei regarded it as a small interruption and shrugged it off. Just as she wanted to leave, Duan Xingye blocked her path again. ¡°Weiwei, please don¡¯t go. My grandfather can¡¯t hold on any longer¡­ Are you in a bad mood? Then¡­ I¡¯ll perform for you, alright? How about mimicking a?cat1?¡± His handsome face turned red. In fact, he was embarrassed to perform such a mentally retarded song in the public, but it seems to be rather popr these days. Right when he was about to start, he noticed a deep, chilly gaze on him and he trembled in fear. Why was his fourth uncle looking at him like that? Duan Feihan stared at Bai Chuwei and slowly spoke in a voice which was simr to the spring water that meandered down. ¡°Miss Bai, although I am clueless about your sudden bad mood, but if you manage to treat my father, other than the consultation fee, I can unconditionally agree to one of your requests as long as it does not vite thews.¡± All the surrounding servants gasped and looked at Duan Feihan in disbelief. The sessor of a century old aristocratic family unconditionally epted a nk request from a stranger!! The meaning behind this was inconceivable. There was a female servant who could not help but imagine. What if Miss Bai asked to be the wife of the fourth young master, would he agree to it? Duan Xingye looked from one to another for quite some time and felt that his fourth uncle¡¯s promise was much more powerful inparison¡­ Bai Chuwei was also stunned. Her eyebrows raised in interest and suddenly, she put her hands on Duan Feihan¡¯s shoulders. Her slender and white fingers, simr to scallions, gently brushed across his broad shoulders. The man stiffened momentarily which didn¡¯t escape Bai Chuwei¡¯s notice. She looked at the man¡¯s serious phoenix-like eyes before standing on her tiptoes near him. She teased him by whispering in his ears. ¡°You were the one who offered.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes kindled with joy and she turned around to walk towards the old man Duan¡¯s small courtyard. Duan Xingye looked at Duan Feihan with aplicated gaze. ¡°Uncle, I didn¡¯t expect that the love between you father and son is so deep.¡± Duan Feihan was indeed the youngest son of old man Duan, but he had always maintained a cold and indifferent temperament since a young age, thus his rtionship with his family was rather thin. Hence, he did not expect his fourth uncle to be willing to sacrifice his body for grandfather! Duan Feihan had no intentions of acknowledging his words, and he bypassed Duan Xingye to keep up with Bai Chuwei¡¯s footsteps. The moment she entered the ce, she saw Liu Zhen seated by the bed, checking the old man¡¯s pulse. Bai Chuwei stood on one side as she watched the scene in front of her with great interest. Liu Zhen retracted his hands as the butler asked hastily. ¡°Old Liu, is there any hope?¡± He touched his beard and nced at Bai Chuwei before speaking in a deep voice. ¡°Yes, with my treatment, old man Duan can live for another two years.¡± The moment he said that, everyone was overjoyed. The old man Duan was someone who had been dered as good as dead by the hospitals and doctors across, already. Chapter 23: Spiritual Thirteen Needles Chapter 23: Spiritual Thirteen Needles Editor: Henyee Trantions Under these circumstances, it was considered a blessing for the old man to live for another two years. Liu Zhen took out inch-long silver needles from the medical box and undressed the old man Duan¡¯s clothes before he carefully inserted the needles into his flesh. Bai Chuwei shook her head as she spectated his movements. Chinese medicine had prevailed for five thousand years but she had not expected that the standard would fall to such an extent in thest couple of centuries. Old man Duan¡¯s body suddenly convulsed and everyone looked on in nervousness. Liu Zhen said with indifference, ¡°No worries.¡± Just as he said that, the sick old man vomited yellowish fluids that carried traces of blood. He even coughed out air. However, no oxygen entered inside his body and that was a sign indicating his death. Everyone started to panic. They had witnessed old man Duan¡¯s condition turning for the better after he consumed those vegetables earlier but now, he had vomited them out. Moreover, there were some family members who had yet to return and if old man Duan were to pass away at that moment, the third young master and others would not manage to see him for thest time! Duan Xingye blew up in anger. ¡°Quack doctor, what have you done to my grandfather?¡± Liu Zhen¡¯s expression turned grim and he looked towards them in doubt. In a harsh voice, he said, ¡°What has old man Duan consumed before this?¡± The butler thought for a moment and then said, ¡°Old man Duan consumed a few bites of vegetables a few days ago. They were gifted by thisdy here.¡± Everyone¡¯s gazended on Bai Chuwei. Bai Chuwei found it funny and nced at Liu Zhen in passing. She did not expect that his inadequate skills would be med on her. She walked over and kicked him aside. A few secondster, she said in an impolite tone, ¡°Get away from here. You are such a disgrace!¡± Liu Zhen staggered from the kick and nearly fell to the ground. His aged face turned red in anger and he was about to criticize her. But he froze. Bai Chuwei had taken out a piece of acupuncture cloth embroidered in ck bamboo pattern from her bag and was rolling it out gently. Her slender white fingers took out several needles from it skillfully. Her technique was extremely nimble, inserting each needle inserted into the flesh in a flowing movement. She infused small amounts of spiritual energy into the silver needles and old man Duan¡¯s breathing slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye while his paleplexion gradually improved. Liu Zhen¡¯s expression was slowly turning strange, up until Bai Chuwei took out a three-inch long silver needle from her acupuncture cloth. At this moment, his muddled eyes seemed to have seen a ghost. The needle was steadily inserted into old man Duan¡¯s chest in a single stab. Liu Zhen¡¯s lips trembled. ¡°The Spiritual Thirteen Needles? How are you versed in this technique? N-No¡­ at your current age, how could you manage inserting thirteen needles in one go?¡± The Spiritual Thirteen Needles, which his teacher had passed down to him, required the use of his inner spiritual energy to execute them. Even though he had studied medicine for several decades, his limit was merely at the ninth needle, and his teacher had been only capable of ten! He had never seen someone execute the entire technique in one go! Bai Chuwei shot him a nce and said coldly, ¡°This is a technique that I invented.¡± So, how could she not be well versed in it? Liu Zhen nearly cried out. ¡°Ridiculous! Such a ridiculous remark! This needle technique has been passed down for nearly four thousand years!¡± Bai Chuwei paid him no heed and reached out to wipe her sweat. All of a sudden, a long and slender hand extended towards her. Duan Feihan passed her a light grey colored handkerchief, which held a faint fragrance. Bai Chuwei looked up and met Duan Feihan¡¯s deep eyes. She smiled and thanked him before taking the handkerchief from him to wipe her sweat. Suddenly, her smile stiffened and her cold eyes looked towards the door. The butler was holding the phone and he said after a moment, ¡°The third young master has arrived along with Miss Tong. They are maki their way here, now.¡± Chapter 24: Instead, I’m Rather Interested In His Death Chapter 24: Instead, I¡¯m Rather Interested In His Death Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei lowered her eyes and swiftly packed up her belongings. Duan Xingye had not noticed Bai Chuwei¡¯s movements yet as he was focused on his grandfather¡¯s smoother breathing and improvingplexion. He rejoiced quietly and turned to look at Bai Chuwei. ¡°Weiwei, thank you so much! My third uncle will be here soon. Are you interested in celebrities? My third uncle, Duan Xiuqi is a popr actor. Do you want his signature?¡± Bai Chuwei smiled superficially and replied in a cold voice. ¡°I don¡¯t want his signature, but I am rather interested in his death.¡± With that, Bai Chuwei picked up her bag and walked out of the bedroom. A thought shed in Duan Feihan¡¯s mind and his long legs chased after Bai Chuwei¡¯s footsteps. Bai Chuwei looked straight ahead and said, ¡°Mr. Duan, your father¡¯s illness is not something that can be cured with a few needles. I¡¯ll write a prescription and have Duan Xingye bring it over. I¡¯ll be going back now.¡± All of a sudden, a powerful,rge hand grabbed her wrist. When she turned to look at him, Duan Feihan loosened his grip. Their eyes shed and he said, ¡°Miss Bai, I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Duan Feihan fished out his car keys and opened the door for her. Bai Chuwei was slightly surprised as to why he had not asked his driver to do this, but she did not ponder much over it and sat in the passenger seat. The car started moving slowly and crossed a white-colored car before driving out of the vi. Bai Chuwei rolled down the window and propped up her left arm. She then looked at Duan Feihan with interest as she openly checked him out. The members of the Duan Family were not kind souls, but she did not expect someone as good as Duan Feihan to appear in this family. Oh right, that silly, male cannon fodder, Duan Xingye was also not bad. Her gaze slowly shifted downwards and went past his protruding Adam¡¯s apple, beforending on the sandalwood Buddha bracelet on his left wrist, where the patterns were nearly worn out from excessive rubbing. She suddenly smiled and asked him. ¡°I presume you¡¯ve worn this bracelet for twenty years?¡± Duan Feihan softly hummed in response. Someone had gifted that bracelet to him twenty years ago. Bai Chuwei smiled with her head lowered. She never expected the adorable little child, who always asked for hugs back then, would wear the Buddha bracelet for so long. This was something that she randomly made twenty years ago. Moreover, he had grown into such a handsome man. She looked at his slightly reddened ears and finally turned her gaze out of the car¡¯s window. High-rise buildings and numerous cars on the road filled her view. There were pedestrians walking on the street as they headed to the Sea City downtown. Bai Chuwei turned to look at him and asked in surprise. ¡°Mr. Duan should have already investigated my address. Then, why did you drive me here instead of sending me home?¡± Duan Feihan didn¡¯t answer and parked the car in the shopping mall¡¯s parking lot before inviting her to get down. ¡°Miss Bai,e with me.¡± He walked ahead and led Bai Chuwei into the bustling shopping mall. The first floor of the mall were all retail outlets that sold different brands of mobile phones. ¡°Which brand of mobile phone is Miss Bai fond of?¡± Duan Feihan looked at her and asked. Her brow shot up and her smile extended to her eyes. So, Mr. Duan¡¯s offer to buy her a mobile phone had not merely been a courtesy! Bai Chuwei pondered for a moment before pointing towards a mobile shop. ¡°I¡¯ll get a Moyun phone then.¡± She did not wish to use the old phone which Bai Yinyin had used in the past. Moyun was a domestic brand of mobile phones in China. Based on its powerful system and performance, it had won the favor of the vast majority of locals, thus seizing thergest market share. It was also said that thetest Moyun 10pro was sold at a starting price of thirty thousand yuan. Chapter 25: Film Emperor Who Has Been Popular For Twenty Years. Chapter 25: Film Emperor Who Has Been Popr For Twenty Years. Editor: Henyee Trantions Both of them entered the crowded store, where there was nock of young female students roaming around in their uniforms. The staff immediately went up to wee them with a smile. ¡°May I know which customer is interested in purchasing a phone?¡± The staff¡¯s eyes could not help but light up. The man was handsome and the girl was gorgeous and had an unearthly demeanor. Both of them looked like a good match! Bai Chuwei answered. ¡°Me.¡± The female staff smiled even more sweetly. She led them to a counter, took out arge screen phone and politely exined. ¡°Miss, this Moyun V20 was recentlyunched in March and is endorsed by the popr film actor, Duan Xiuqi. It is well liked by most girls and you can also get a chance to win his autograph with this purchase.¡± Bai Chuwei finally understood something after the saleswoman told her this. No wonder there were so many young female students in the store. Moreover, there were Duan Xiuqi¡¯s posters hanging all over. So it turned out that the man was their spokesman. Just as the female staff wanted to delve into the phone specs, Bai Chuwei frowned and impatiently interrupted her. ¡°There¡¯s no need to continue introducing this phone. I don¡¯t want to buy it.¡± The staff was stunned. This V20 model was currently the most popr model and nine out of ten females who came in here wanted this model, just because Duan Xiuqi was endorsing it. Therefore, she didn¡¯t expect Bai Chuwei to decisively refuse it. Could it be¡­ that she was Duan Xiuqi¡¯s anti-fan? ¡°I want to buy Moyun 10pro, the highest specs, in silver.¡± The staff was shocked and immediately turned to look at the quiet man seated beside Bai Chuwei. Duan Feihan had one hand in his pocket and appeared indifferent. When the staff looked at him, he nodded. The staff could not help but feel astonished deep down. Moyun 10pro was designed for wealthy people. The starting price was around thirty thousand yuan, and the highest specs model was pegged at more than forty thousand yuan. No ordinary person would buy that model. Moreover, thedy looked to be around seventeen to eighteen years old. The saleswoman had not expected her to be smart enough to leech off such an expensive item from the man. ¡°Just a moment, please. I¡¯ll bring out the phone.¡± The staff went towards the storeroom immediately after. While they waited, three girls in their uniforms came over with their new phones and asked. ¡°Excuse me, I would like to ask you if you have any misunderstanding about Xiuxiu?¡± Evidently, that group of fans overheard Bai Chuwei saying that she does not wish to purchase the phone which Duan Xiuqi endorsed. Bai Chuwei fluttered her eyes and said, ¡°He looks irritating.¡± A few girls who looked like junior high school students, flushed red in anger and when they wanted to reason it out, a man¡¯s cold voice arose next to her. ¡°Security.¡± Several security guards hastily came forward and invited them out. Moyun 10pro had been released half a year ago and there were less than a hundred customers who had purchased the phone in this store. Therefore, they could not afford to offend such customers. Bai Chuwei leaned against the chair, propped up her chin as she looked at Duan Feihan. She asked him in a quiet manner. ¡°Isn¡¯t your third brother, Duan Xiuqi, a thirty-eight year old man? Why does he still have so many idiotic fans?¡± Duan Feihan thought for a moment and said, ¡°I have no idea.¡± The staff came back with hurried steps and brought the phone. She even enthusiastically answered Bai Chuwei¡¯s question. ¡°Ever since his debut, Duan Xiuqi became famous and has remained so for twenty years. He is well-deserving of his title, ¡®film emperor¡¯. There are many fans who love his appearance and acting skills.¡± Bai Chuwei sneered. ¡°Is that so?¡± The staff continued to speak without realising the expressions on Bai Chuwei¡¯s face. ¡°What is most attractive about Duan Xiuqi is how he talks about his love life. He publicly announced that he would wait for a girl for twenty years. Everyone thought that it was merely a joke. But for the past twenty years, he has been clean and honest in his personal life, and it was only this year that he had started making preparations to marry. How could such a man not attract loyal fans?¡± Chapter 26: I Saved Him On Your Account Chapter 26: I Saved Him On Your ount Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression altered and she changed the topic immediately. ¡°Let me look at the phone.¡± The staff was rather disappointed as it seemed that the beautiful customer¡¯s impression of Duan Xiuqi had not changed. She took out the phone and passed it to her. Bai Chuwei switched on the phone and her jade-like fingers nimbly glided on the screen. The staff professionally introduced the features of this phone with utmost politeness. Duan Feihan sat next to her. His back was straight as a pine while he quietly drank the warm water served to him. His demeanor was outstanding and elegant. Bai Chuwei used her left hand as a chin rest. She opened the camera mode, and flipped her slightly curly hair to one side before taking a picture that looked flirty. She then changed to another posture with her beautiful eyes staring at the screen. Her red lips were in a pout and made her seem even more coquettish, but adorable and attractive at the same time. Bai Chuwei did not notice that the man had stopped drinking water and his pitch-back eyes, as deep as the sea, were fixated on her. The staff stood rooted on the spot as well, when she saw Bai Chuwei taking selfies. She had used the phone¡¯s camera without any beauty filter and every shot was wless. ¡°I¡¯ll take this.¡± Bai Chuwei was rather satisfied with this phone. The man was still staring at her. He seemed to have not heard her. Bai Chuwei lifted her brows and smiled at Duan Feihan. Her voice was sweet and provocative when she said, ¡°Mr Duan, please make the payment.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s long eyshes blinked and his pupils finally regained their focus before he faintly said to the staff, ¡°The bill.¡± The staff also replied hastily. ¡°Would you be paying by card or via the QR code? This way, please.¡± Duan Feihan stood up and followed the staff to make payments, while Bai Chuwei sat alone and fiddled around with the phone. Firstly, she changed the phone card from Bai Yinyin¡¯s old phone. Then, she zealfully downloaded a fewmonly used applications and registered a WeChat ount. ¡°Miss Bai, your little gift.¡± Bai Chuwei looked up and saw that Duan Feihan had returned with a paper bag in his hands. It was a free gift that came along with the phone. Bai Chuwei nced at it and said, ¡°A cup? Mr Duan, thanks for buying me a phone, you can treat this cup as a gift from me. There¡¯s no need to be polite.¡± The cup was made of ceramic and was in the shape of a cartoonish fat hamster that looked rather adorable. Unfortunately, Bai Chuwei felt like punching a hamster whenever she saw it, so she did not take it from him. The staff who came over to deliver the receipt: ¡°¡­¡± Duan Feihan smiled faintly and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to thank Miss Bai.¡± Bai Chuwei did not feel ashamed in the slightest. Based on the few needles which she inserted today, even another ten Moyun 10pro would not cover the fees! After maintaining silence for several seconds, he slowly asked her. ¡°In order to be able to contact you, can you give me your contact information?¡± Bai Chuwei dutifully recited her phone number and a momentter, she received a friend request message on Wechat. She epted it immediately. After the purchase of a new phone, Duan Feihan personally drove her home and the ck-colored Rolls Royce stopped somewhere near the Bai Family¡¯s vi. Bai Chuwei did not immediately alight and instead, she said with a smile, ¡°Mr Duan, your father had offended me in the past and I had no intentions to save him today.¡± Her delicate fingers undid the seatbelt and she turned towards him. She closed the distance between them, and came really close to his wless handsome face. ¡°But I saved him on your ount. Hence, don¡¯t forget the agreement between us.¡± Chapter 27: Get Rid Of Your Brand Ambassador, Duan Xiuqi Chapter 27: Get Rid Of Your Brand Ambassador, Duan Xiuqi Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei smiled and opened the car¡¯s door to walk towards the Bai Family¡¯s residence with her backpack slung on her shoulder. She dialed a number on her new phone and a young man¡¯s maic voice could be heard from the other end. ¡°Hello?¡± Bai Chuwei spoke in her usual tone. ¡°It¡¯s me. Moyun is one of your businesses, right? Get rid of your brand ambassador, Duan Xiuqi. I find him irritating.¡± Dozens of silent seconds psed and all of a sudden, a trembling voice containing traces of shock, shouted out. ¡°I-It¡¯s¡­ you? Ancestor? You have a phone now? You¡¯ve descended the mountains?¡± ¡°En.¡± Bai Chuwei answered and hung up the call. * A ck, ssy yet conspicuous Rolls Royce was parked by the side of the road. The man was seated in the driver seat and appeared normal. But upon closer inspection, one could see that the tips of his ears had turned red. Duan Feihan suddenly closed his eyes and heaved a long sigh before stepping on the elerator. The car went in the direction of the Duan Family¡¯s residence. Before Duan Feihan reached home, the third young master of the Duan Family, Duan Xiuqi, had already returned to the residence. Duan Xiuqi turned thirty eight this year. He had be famous on his debut at the age of eighteen, and remained extremely popr during the past twenty years. His skin was very well maintained, making him resemble a young man in his early twenties. He was currently dressed in a simple set of fashionable and well coordinated clothing. Beside him, stood a beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor, holding a pearl handbag in her hands. Duan Xiuqi was in a trance as he seemed to have seen the girl of his dreams pass by him. Tong Qingyan¡¯s aunt, Tong Yunrou looked at Duan Xiuqi¡¯s expression and tightly grasped his arm. ¡°Xiuqi, don¡¯t let your mind wander too much. Let¡¯s go in and visit your father.¡± Duan Xiuqi had aplicated look on his face and subconsciously pulled his arm out of her grip. Twenty years ago when he was eighteen, he encountered the love of his life. It was someone whom he wanted to marry regardless of her refusal! In the end, the woman fled and he could not locate her even after searching throughout China. As a result, he debuted with resigned feelings and stood under the morous lights, so that she could easily find his whereabouts if she missed him even in the slightest. However, even with his public deration that he would wait twenty years for her, that beautiful youngdy still did not appear. Tong Yunrou had been secretly in love with him ever since he was young and everyone in the upper society of Sea City knew that she would never marry, unless the groom was Duan Feihan. After the agreement of twenty years passed, old man Tong had personallye to the Duan Family and forced them to marry. The wedding preparations were currently in process but unexpectedly, old man Duan was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Duan Xiuqi had used various means, repeatedly, to cancel the wedding in the recent past. Hence, Tong Yunrou feared that he would cancel the wedding with the reason that his father was seriously ill, and was nearing his death. Therefore, she had specially gone to invite the medical expert Liu Zhen! Duan Xiuqi furrowed his brows and asked her. ¡°Liu Zhen is really capable of curing cancer?¡± This was cancer, that they were talking about. Even the well developed western medicine was incapable of curing it till date. Both of them headed for old man Duan¡¯s courtyard while conversing. Upon entering, they saw Liu Zhen standing by the bed looking dazed and pale at the same time. There was another doctor present, who was checking the old man Duan¡¯s condition. A doctor with the stethoscope in his hands eximed. ¡°Miracle. It¡¯s a miracle! Old man Duan¡¯s breathing is much smoother than before and his various physical indices have also improved!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a miraculous doctor like this who could achieve such great effects with just needles!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Tong Yunrou looked at Duan Xiuqi with pride and went towards Liu Zhen. ¡°Mr Liu, thank you for your help today. I hope that you could spare us the honor of your appearance on our wedding day.¡± The moment she said that, Liu Zhen¡¯s aged face became awkward and extremely pale. Chapter 28: Tong Family Owed A Ten Year Debt Chapter 28: Tong Family Owed A Ten Year Debt Editor: Henyee Trantions Duan Xingye seemed to have seen a ghost and he started yelling, immediately. ¡°Aunt Tong, what are you talking about? The one who treated grandfather was Weiwei! This Mr Liu, whom you invited, nearly killed grandfather the moment he inserted the needle! If not for Weiwei¡¯s timely help, you won¡¯t have seen grandfather lying here alive!¡± Tong Yunrou¡¯s smile stiffened and her eyes suddenly widened. ¡°What did you say? Who saved your grandfather?¡± Weiwei? Who was she? She had never heard of someone with that name! Duan Xingye replied with pride in his voice. ¡°The miracle doctor that my fourth uncle and I invited from Yunwu Mountain. Her medical skills are much superior to Mr Liu.¡± Just as Duan Xingye said that, he unconsciously looked towards Duan Xiuqi. When he saw his third uncle¡¯s chilly expression, he cried out internally. ¡°Sh*t! So much for my bbermouth.¡± The rtionship between his third and fourth uncle had always been bad, and his third uncle did not even wish to hear Duan Feihan¡¯s name. But he also understood the reason behind it. If the four-year-old Duan Feihan had not secretly escaped with that girl twenty years ago, his third uncle would have already married her instead of waiting for this long a period. Ever since that incident, Duan Xiuqi had not acknowledged Duan Feihan¡¯s presence. Duan Xingye smiled dryly and repeatedly pped his mouth. Liu Zhen¡¯s aged face turned red in embarrassment and his white beard trembled. He said awkwardly, ¡°This senior shall not¡­ argue with children. I-I¡¯ll make a move first.¡± Without waiting for a reply, Liu Zhen carried his belongings and scrambled out, without the arrogance which he first arrived with. When he recalled that he had chided the girl as a little brat ignorant of medical skills, his face felt scorching hot. He could only continuouslyfort himself with the exnation that she might have only learned acupuncture, but was clueless about other aspects. * Bai Chuwei entered the vi and was changing her shoes when a silhouette ran towards her. Bai Yinyin red at her and questioned her in anger. ¡°I saw you getting down from a Rolls Royce on the balcony. Whose car is that?¡± Bai Chuwei entered the house in slippers and replied with indifference. ¡°I believe it¡¯s none of your business. Even your grandfather would not dare to speak to me in that tone.¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s anger shot through the roof. ¡°That¡¯s because my grandfather has been tricked by you. I originally thought you would be simpleminded since you came from the countryside, but who would expect you to have seduced a rich guy so fast? You¡¯re too¡­ ah¡ª!¡± ¡°Mouse! A fat mouse!!¡± Bai Yinyin felt something touching her foot. She looked down and saw a fat white-haired hamster lying on her feet. Instantly, she was scared sh*tless and started screaming. Snowball grinned and chased Bai Yinyin all around the hallway. Bai Chuwei felt her eyelids twitch and reluctantly bent down to pick up Snowball by its tail before heading up to the third floor. Bai Yinyin, who had climbed on the table from fright, roared at her. ¡°Don¡¯t think just because you helped me, I would¡­¡± Just then Bai Guofu¡¯s furious voice sounded from far. ¡°Bai Yinyin! Our ancestor is currently staying in our house. Do you have any manners? You¡¯re embarrassing the Bai Family! Who taught you to climb up the dining table? You had better get down right now!¡± ¡°You can also forget about dinner tonight!¡± Bai Chuwei was uninterested in the farce that transpired downstairs. She shelved Snowball somewhere on the table and patted the fat hamster¡¯s cheeks. ¡°Are you done with the calctions of my assets here?¡± Snowball immediately squeaked. ¡°Ancestor, your assets umted through these five thousand years have exceeded those of the richest man in the world by several folds. However, I found out something while I was checking the ledgers. The Tong Family owes you ten years worth of debt.¡± Bai Chuwei quirked her brows with interest. There was actually someone who dared to owe her money? Chapter 29: If You Don’t Pay, You Will Have To Bear The Consequences Chapter 29: If You Don¡¯t Pay, You Will Have To Bear The Consequences Editor: Henyee Trantions This hamster cared for nothing except eating and that¡¯s why it was currently as fat as a ball. Even though it had yet to transform after being around her for two decades, it was rather smart in terms of finances. Therefore, she had deliberately left it around to consolidate her assets which were spread across the world. ¡°The Tong Family owes me a debt of ten years and they are yet to return it?¡± Bai Chuwei touched her chin and revealed a meaningful smile. The Tong Family in question was the female lead, Tong Qingyan¡¯s family, who had relied on their grandmother, Chen Meihua to flourish. That year, she had saved Chen Meihua and invested a small sum of money on her behalf. However, she did not expect that the strong and independent Chen Meihua would sessfully expand her business. Since then, Chen Meihua always transferred thirty million yuan into Bai Chuwei¡¯s Swiss bank ount every year without fail. But she passed away a decade ago and the remaining family members stopped the yearly transfer. A debt of ten years would mean a sum of three hundred million yuan. Bai Chuwei chuckled and murmured to herself. ¡°It isn¡¯t that easy to owe me money.¡± She stroked her chin and said with indifference, ¡°Send a letter to the Tong Family on my behalf. They are to transfer four hundred million yuan to my ount in a month¡¯s time. The extra hundred million would be the interest which they owe me for the non-payment in the past ten years. If they refuse to pay, they would be responsible for the consequences.¡± Snowball got excited in anticipation of watching a good show and squeaked. ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll send it immediately!¡± The hamster loved to watch the ancestor act like a loan shark! The Tong Family was on par with the Bai Family in Sea City. Both of them were rather wealthy families, but they were not considered to be at the top of the food chain. The bill of four hundred million yuan would certainly cause them a huge headache. Snowball¡¯s ws strenuously opened the notebook ced on the table. It pressed on the power button, opened a word document and used its four paws to type on the keyboard with great difficulty. This notebook was something that Bai Guofu asked people to deliver when Bai Chuwei had gone to school. When Bai Chuwei saw Snowball¡¯s chubby figure busy typing, her disdain for it increased by the minute as she stared at its struggle. ¡°Tsk, even after following me for two decades, you¡¯re still in animal form.¡± She recalled a little white fox, which she had raised and it became capable of transforming into a human form after ten years of being by her side. But in the end¡­ Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression dimmed. Snowball sat on the keyboard and panted slightly. ¡°I won¡¯t transform. I¡¯ll just follow my ancestor for the rest of my life.¡± Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue and looked at Snowball, who had gone back to work. She sat on the chair, with one hand supporting her jaw and the other hand ying with her new phone. After scanning the group QR code, she sessfully entered the school group chat and changed her username to ¡®Bai Chuwei¡¯ ording to the rules. In general, for group chats like these where the homeroom teacher and respective subject teachers were also present, the students rarely held any conversations. While no one had sent any messages here, a friend request popped out from her Wechat. Yesterday¡¯s Xingchen: [Student Bai Chuwei, I¡¯m your ssmate, Xu Xingchen.] A thought provoking smile shed in her eyes and she epted his request. As soon as the friend request was epted, Xu Xingchen immediately sent her a few messages. The contents were basically words of concern for a new ssmate. Yesterday¡¯s Xingchen: [Student Bai, I am the ss monitor of ss 9, and the math student representative. You can approach me if you are in need of any help. Although you just transferred here and might need some time to adapt, the math homework assigned by Teacher Zhou Feng must bepleted in time. He would do a surprise inspection tomorrow in the morning.] Bai Chuwei smirked and replied. Your Ancestor: [Zhou Feng will not be in school tomorrow. There¡¯s no need toplete the homework.] Xu Xingchen was momentarily stunned and felt that Bai Chuwei was speaking nonsense. Be it rain or shine, Zhou Feng was always diligent and punctual. The moment Xu Xingchen wanted to refute her words, he suddenly noticed the ss group chat exploding, with 99+ new messages in the blink of an eye. What happened? Chapter 30: An Alias, Bai Chu Chapter 30: An Alias, Bai Chu Editor: Henyee Trantions Year 3 Teacher-In-Charge: [@All Dear students of ss 9, Teacher Zhou suddenly fainted today. From tomorrow onwards, he will be on temporary leave to recuperate. Teacher Zhou¡¯s lesson will be changed to self-revision.] As soon as the news was announced, it caused a great stir. Xu Xingchen was taken aback. He had no idea if Bai Chuwei was merely lucky or¡­ At the same time, Zhou Feng was also reeling under the shock. He had been immediately sent to the hospital after he fainted in the office. The doctor said that he had a brain tumor. Zhou Feng felt a chill enter his body and both his forehead and back were soaked in cold sweat. He¡­ really had a mental illness? Bai Chuwei was truly a miracle doctor to have identified his illness in a single nce. A miracle doctor! He had to look for that miracle doctor. Since Bai Chuwei mentioned it, it meant that she must have a cure. He recalled that Duan Xingye had been looking around for a miracle doctor for his grandfather¡­ Zhou Feng immediately leapt out of the hospital bed, wore his shoes and dashed out without bothering about the nurse¡¯s shouts. He took a cab to go to the Bai Family. He had seen Bai Chuwei¡¯s particrs previously and remembered the address of the Bai Family¡¯s vi. The Bai Family¡¯s servants scoffed when they saw Zhou Feng. School started only a few days ago and a teacher had alreadye to pay a visit? The servant led Zhou Feng to Bai Chuwei¡¯s room. When Zhou Feng saw Bai Chuwei, his nose soured while his eyes gleamed with tears. He spoke up in a choked voice. ¡°Stu-Student Bai. Miracle doctor Bai. I am Teacher Zhou, I¡¯m really ill.¡± When Bai Chuwei heard that, sheughed out loud. She did not seem to be surprised at Zhou Feng¡¯s arrival. ¡°Teacher Zhou, as I mentioned earlier, you will definitelye looking for me. Come over here, let me insert a few needles for you.¡± Bai Chuwei leisurely unfolded the acupuncture cloth that she had prepared in advance and took out several silver needles. Zhou Feng gasped. It seemed that Bai Chuwei had actually been waiting for him. She had guessed urately that he woulde looking for her. She was amazing! From the looks of it, she seemed to be rather confident of her medical skills. Zhou Feng hastily went over. She did not speak any further and directly inserted needles on the tip of his head. The pain caused Zhou Feng¡¯splexion to turn deathly pale. Bai Chuwei stopped after inserting dozens of needles in session and chuckled. ¡°These needles have cleared the blood clot in your brain. Teacher Zhou, you are a good teacher, so I¡¯ll also give you a pill. Take a good rest for a week ande back after that. Zhou Feng subconsciously said, ¡°I still have to rest for a week? What about my students¡¯ revision? They are already in Year 3 and their studies cannot be dyed.¡± Bai Chuwei shot him a nce and said with indifference, ¡°If you wish to die, I won¡¯t stop you.¡± When Zhou Feng recalled the moment when he had fainted, he decided not to argue any further. Zhou Feng looked at Bai Chuwei and was even more determined to be a good teacher who taught and educated the younger generation. He would assign them more homework so that they can be molded into talents as soon as possible¡­ * By the time she sent Zhou Feng off, Snowball had already written the creditor note and printed it out. Bai Chuwei then signed with her alias on the lower right corner of the page, with a ck pen ¡ª Bai Chu. Her handwriting was elegant and free, while the strokes appeared delicate yet powerful. Bai Chuwei was her name for the past five thousand years, and the name ¡®Bai Chu¡¯ was an alias she hade up with, twenty years ago. Science and technology had been developing rapidly in recent centuries. In particr, monitoring, photography and filming devices had improved by leaps and bounds in the past two decades. Her unchanged appearance made it easy for her to be targeted by many unsavoury characters. Coincidentally, Duan Xiuqi was madly pursuing her at that time and wanted to marry her. As a result, she created an alias for herself. Snowball folded the creditor note into an envelope and Bai Chuwei looked at it with a curious expression. She wanted to know what kind of reaction the Tong Family would show when they received the four hundred million yuan bill. Chapter 31: The Debt Of Four Hundred Million Yuan Chapter 31: The Debt Of Four Hundred Million Yuan Editor: Henyee Trantions The express delivery services in China were well developed and an urgent delivery between vis in the same city could be delivered in a couple of hours. The Tong Family received the letter an hourter. ¡°Ridiculous! She¡¯s asking us for four hundred million yuan? Is this a prank or in extortion?¡± A middle-aged man with a pot-belly, shouted furiously. He was the son, whom Chen Meihua gave birth to when she was abducted in the mountain area. Afterwards, he was taken to the Sea City and changed his surname to follow his stepfather. Old man Tong furrowed his brows and looked at the signature at the bottom. ¡°Bai Chu? This seems to be the name of the ount holder whom Chen Meihua would transfer money to regrly.¡± Tong Qingyan who just returned from the Duan Family, had an ugly expression on her face. The thought of the fourth young master sending back a girl in his personal car, made her feel ufortable. She could feel that he did not treat her as a normal person of the opposite gender. The moment she entered the doors, she heard the conversation between her grandfather and her father. Tong Qingyan immediately inquired about the situation. After she understood the reason behind, her refined brows knitted together as she said, ¡°Grandfather, father, on what basis do we have to give her our hard earned money?¡± ¡°Grandmother used to sponsor poor students and it didn¡¯t matter if they did not repay her. But this Bai Chu is so greedy to be asking for four hundred million yuan. This is nothing but extortion!¡± After giving it some thought, she continued. ¡°Grandfather, could it be that Bai Chu knows that aunt Yunrou would be marrying uncle Duan Xiuqi and therefore, she wants to deliberately extort some money from us?¡± The entire country knew that Tong Yunrou would be marrying the famous actor, Duan Xiuqi, and it was likely that Bai Chu knew of it as well. Tong Qingyan was already in a bad mood and coupled with the creditor¡¯s note, she felt even more vexed and tore it into pieces. ¡°Our Tong Family has businesses all around the country. I¡¯d like to see how this Bai Chu shall make us ¡®bear the consequences¡¯.¡± The entire Tong Family burst intoughter. She was right. Even though they were not amongst the oldest families, they were still in the top ranks within the Sea City. Moreover, when Tong Yunrou enters the Duan Family in the future, they would be considered as one of them. Who would dare to challenge the position of the Tong Family at that time? If that Bai Chu had guts, she had better directlye knocking on their door to ask for the money! Bai Chu was simply a brainless idiot, who dared to mail such a note! The entire Tong Family snickered at this scene and did not take the letter to heart. Even though Bai Chuwei had not witnessed the Tong Family¡¯s performance, she did not care. What she had the most was patience. Anyways, she had mentioned in the letter that she would give them one month to prepare the money. Bai Chuwei grabbed a piece of paper and swiftly wrote down a list of medicinal ingredients on it. When she finished writing, she took a screenshot and was about to send it to Duan Xingye to prepare it for the patient. But Bai Chuwei paused suddenly and a fox-like smile curled up on her lips. Snowball who was right beside her: ¡°!!!¡± The moment Bai Chuwei revealed that smile, it was never a good sign. It meant that she was about to con someone. Bai Chuwei slipped the list into her table drawer and tapped on Duan Feihan¡¯s chat. Her slender and white fingers rapidly tapped on the screen. Your Ancestor: [Mr Duan, the prescription is ready. Come and fetch me tomorrow after school so that we can purchase the medicinal ingredients together.] From the rumors, it seemed like the Duan Family was showing the signs of overtaking the eight aristocratic families, under Duan Feihan¡¯s management. If so, he must be rich and she ought to siphon off more money from him tomorrow. Duan Feihan: [Ok.] His response had basically ended the conversation and Bai Chuwei could not think of anything in response. Just as she was about to close the chat, he sent another message. Duan Feihan: [Thank you Miss Bai.] Bai Chuwei: ¡­ Your Ancestor: [¡­ You¡¯re Wee] A man dressed in a suit and leather shoes was seated before his table as his ck eyes stared at the extremely awkward chat. He silently pulled out several books from his bookshelf titled, ¡®Teach You How to Text¡¯, ¡®The Art of Language¡¯, ¡®People Who Can Talk Have High EQ¡¯. Chapter 32: Your Fourth Uncle And I Have Made An Appointment Chapter 32: Your Fourth Uncle And I Have Made An Appointment Editor: Henyee Trantions On the second day, Bai Yinyin did not wait for Bai Chuwei. She took the car to school and went straight to the canteen. Henghua Secondary School was considered a school for the wealthy and the canteen would be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Moreover, every dish was really sumptuous. Bai Yinyin picked up a tray and started to eat her breakfast. Shortly after, several students carried their food trays and sat in front of her with a surprised expression. ¡°Yinyin? It¡¯s really you? I thought you never ate breakfast in school?¡± Bai Yinyin nibbed on the bun and revealed an unhappy expression. ¡°I haven¡¯t had any food sincest night. There¡¯s an adopted daughter in my house and my grandfather punished me because of her.¡± Adopted daughter? Bai Yinyin¡¯s good friend, Deng Man, immediately associated the girl with the transfer student of yesterday and said, ¡°Are you speaking of the Bai Chuwei from our ss? Oh my, isn¡¯t that girl too arrogant? An adopted daughter like her dares to bully you, the real daughter of the family??¡± Bai Yinyin nodded like a little chick and appeared to be weak and pitiful. ¡°My grandfather likes her. What can I possibly do? Sigh.¡± Bai Chuwei became famous post her enrollment yesterday. She had seduced both Duan Xingye and Xu Xingchen, humiliated Teacher Li by proiming her to be sick. Moreover, she even bragged that she had written those famous ssics. For the female students, what they couldn¡¯t stand the most was that Bai Chuwei and Duan Xingye seemed to be getting closer! Even though she appeared pure and ethereal on the outside, s, she was a b*tch who seduced men on the sly. Deng Man and a few female students looked at one another and she said immediately, ¡°Yinyin, rest assured. We will teach her a lesson on your behalf!¡± Bai Yinyin repeatedly thanked them with reddened eyes, but the corner of her lips had unconsciously curled up. * Bai Chuwei¡¯s journey to school was smooth without Bai Yinyin being around. After she entered her ss, she saw Duan Xingye walking over like a happy golden retriever. ¡°Weiwei, you¡¯re superb. My grandfather¡¯s condition has improved a lot since yesterday. Also, you managed to identify Teacher Zhou¡¯s illness. As expected of a miracle doctor!¡± Duan Xingye had a glib tongue and he was bootlicking Bai Chuwei thoroughly. Duan Xingye looked at her and asked eagerly. ¡°Weiwei, have you written the prescription? Let me apany you to get the medicine?¡± Bai Chuwei responded to him without lifting her eyes. ¡°No need, your fourth uncle and I have made an appointment. He wille with me.¡± Duan Xingye was instantly shocked and his expression gradually becameplicated. As expected, the father and son bond between his fourth uncle and his grandfather was very deep. Just as they conversed, a gentle and warm voice cut in. ¡°Student Bai Chuwei, this is your custom-made school uniform. I brought it here for you.¡± Looking up, she saw Xu Xingchen carrying a paper bag with her uniform in it. He was smiling at her. His current expression was the one that was especially popr with girls. Duan Xingye immediately slung his arm over Xu Xingchen and said with a smile, ¡°Hey good brother of mine, you¡¯re meticulous as always.¡± Xu Xingchen smiled and suddenly saw Bai Chuwei¡¯s wlessly gorgeous face looking at him with a meaningful gaze. Bai Chuwei then went to the girls toilet with her uniform. She found the whole situation extremely funny. That silly Duan Xingye! Even until this point in time, he was oblivious to Xu Xingchen¡¯s inner thoughts. But even so, there was nothing wrong with calling Xu Xingchen his ¡®good brother¡¯. Bai Chuwei entered an empty cubicle, closed the door and hung the bag on the hook. However, before she had the chance to change into her uniform, she suddenly heard footsteps from outside, and¡­ the toilet door got locked! Bai Chuwei furrowed her brows, stared at the door and asked in a cold voice. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Deng Manli crossed her arms andughed together with a few other female students. ¡°Did someone just talk? My ears must be ying tricks on me. Let¡¯s go.¡± Chapter 33: I’ll Return To My Class After You’ve Apologized Chapter 33: I¡¯ll Return To My ss After You¡¯ve Apologized Editor: Henyee Trantions Deng Man was feeling extremely smug and said, ¡°Bai Chuwei seduced Duan Xingye and Xu Xingchen by relying on her beauty. Thus, this shall serve as a little lesson for her!¡± ¡°I heard that the next lesson is thenguage ss, Teacher¡¯s Li lesson. Yesterday, she had imed that Teacher Li was sick. I believe we will be enjoying a good showter.¡± Another chubby female student said in a gloating voice. The sounds of those female students went further and further away. Bai Chuwei amusedly looked at the wooden door. She was not worried in the slightest and took out the school uniform. Henghua Secondary School¡¯s uniform design leaned towards the sakura?country1. A white inner clothing and a ck-colored outerwear for spring season. The lower half was a id skirt, making one look young and energetic. To avoidparison of wealth in the school, leather shoes were also included in their provided set of uniforms. Bai Chuwei picked up the shoes and with them, found a pair of heel pads and a piece of note from inside the paper bag. ¡°Student Bai Chuwei, your skin may tear from the new shoes, here¡¯s a heel sticker. ^_^. Xu Xingchen.¡± Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue and murmured to herself. ¡°Male lead, you¡¯re indeed a central air?conditioner1¡± Looking at how considerate this Xu Xingchen was, it wasn¡¯t any wonder that the original owner of this body had been so devoted to him and continuously shed with the female lead, Tong Qingyan. Bai Chuwei scoffed. ¡°Why is he trying to flirt with everyone when he doesn¡¯t even like them?¡± For someone like her who had lived five thousand years, how could she be unaware of Duan Xingchen¡¯s hidden intentions? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the silly Duan Xingye was morefortable to be with. In the end, Bai Chuwei did not use the heel sticker. She looked at the door with a smile and teleported out with a slight snap of her hand. She then turned back to look at the door. There was a mop tied with a thick rope, making it impossible to open the door from the inside. She had lived and cultivated for thousands of years. How could such a small trick trap her in? Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in the current era was somewhat thin. Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes revealed traces of interest as she smiled and went out of the toilet. At that moment, all the lessons in sses had already started. Bai Chuwei leisurely walked in the direction of Year 3 ss 11 ssroom, walking past ss 9 along the way. ss 11 was currently having a self-study lesson, and the students were all honestlypleting the practice exam papers. A crisp knock sounded and all the students looked over. The culprit was wearing the female uniform of Henghua Secondary School, and her posture was graceful. She had a faint smile on her face and when she looked up, her eyes appeared unbridled but beautiful and cool. All the male students in ss 11 were momentarily stunned, and turned red immediately. There were also whistles and shouts that followed soon after. ¡°This should be the transfer student of ss 9? Oh my god, she¡¯s so beautiful. I believe she will be recing Tong Qingyan from the position of the campus belle soon!¡± ¡°Tong Qingyan is indeed beautiful, but her demeanor can¡¯tpare to this student! Tong Qingyan has the aura of someone from a wealthy family, but Bai Chuwei¡­ is a fairy!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Tong Qingyan¡¯s expression darkened. Bai Chuwei walked in with a smile and nced at Bai Yinyin, whose head was hung low. Then she headed towards Deng Man and the group of girls who were seated together. All of them looked at each other with an ugly expression. How did Bai Chuweie out? She should have been stuck in the toilet for an entire lesson and fainted with the stink. Perhaps it was due to Bai Chuwei¡¯s powerful aura, but when she walked over, Deng Man and her group started to panic. Deng Man preemptively mmed the table and stood up with a shout. ¡°Student Bai Chuwei, this is ss 11 and we are currently in the middle of a lesson. Please go back to your own ss.¡± Bai Chuwei leaned against the table in a rxed manner while her hands were buried inside her pockets. She said, ¡°No hurry. I¡¯ll return to my ss after you¡¯ve apologized.¡± Chapter 34: Pay Back The Money You Owe As Soon As Possible Chapter 34: Pay Back The Money You Owe As Soon As Possible Editor: Henyee Trantions Apologize!? Deng Man and her gang never expected Bai Chuwei to confront them and moreover, in such a short span of time. As a result, they were momentarily stunned and became flustered. Deng Man looked towards Bai Yinyin, but she did not even dare to look in their direction. The mes of fury inside Deng Man raged even wilder. Isn¡¯t this adopted daughter too arrogant? Bai Yinyin was so scared that she didn¡¯t even dare to nce at them. Did an adopted daughter think she could overturn the tables? Deng Man crossed her arms and scoffed rudely. ¡°Student Bai, please don¡¯t be unreasonable and make a scene here. What have we done? Do you have evidence? You im that we bullied you, but I¡¯d like to say that you are the one who is deliberately making a scene!¡± Deng Man was in full momentum, and did not feel guilty in the slightest. The onlookers were unable to distinguish which side was speaking the truth. Bai Chuwei appeared to be calm andposed. Before any words came out of her mouth, a beautiful figure swiftly walked over and stood in front of Deng Man. Tong Qingyan stared at Bai Chuwei unwaveringly and said, ¡°Student Bai, I am the ss monitor of ss 11, Tong Qingyan. As for Student Deng Man¡¯s business¡­¡± Bai Chuwei raised her eyelids and interrupted her. ¡°Miss Tong. Please don¡¯t interfere when it is none of your business. Since you are so free, you might as well pay back the money you owe as soon as possible.¡± The Tong Family owed her four hundred million yuan and she was rather concerned about it. The surrounding students gasped and some even started whispering. ¡°Even though the Tong Family isn¡¯t at the top of the food chain, they are still a wealthy family. But their family is in debt?¡± ¡°Is that for real? My father¡¯spany has coborations with the Tong Family, would it be better to reconsider the association?¡± ¡°The Tong Family is in debt. Oh my, this is breaking news. I¡¯ll have to inform my brother right away!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Students of Henghua Secondary School were all from wealthy families who were engaged in various businesses. Therefore, if the Tong Family was really in debt, it would more or less affect their coboration with otherpanies. Tong Qingyan¡¯s expression turned ugly and her hands clenched into tight fists. ¡°Student Bai, why are you starting a rumor? When has my family owed money?¡± Bai Chuwei smiled and answered back with a question of her own. ¡°Miss Tong, why don¡¯t you tell me?¡± Tong Qingyan stared into space for a moment. Her family owed¡­ four hundred million yuan? How was that even considered a debt? That Bai Chu didn¡¯t not deserve to take money from her family. From Bai Chuwei¡¯s attitude and stand, it was evident that she would not go away as long as this issue was unsolved. Unexpectedly, she did not only possess a pretty face, but was also rather headstrong and unforgiving! Bai Chuwei¡¯s smiling eyes caused Deng Man to gradually start sweating. She then red at a few female students and gnashed her teeth. ¡°Where¡¯s the evidence? What have we done to you?¡± ¡°You locked me inside the toilet.¡± Deng Manughed out loud, ¡°Then how did you know we were the culprits and not someone else? Student Bai, could it be that you can see through walls, and see everyone who is outside the toilet?¡± The cornered students looked at each other in doubt. They had not mentioned their names or met Bai Chuwei in person before. So how did she identify them and even came looking for them so soon? Tong Qingyan gritted her teeth and immediately backed Deng Man after recovering her senses. ¡°Student Bai, what Deng Man said is reasonable. If you were locked in the toilet, how did you recognise them? Please don¡¯t¡­¡± Bai Chuwei suddenly snapped her finger, interrupting Tong Qingyan. After the crisp sound of a snap was heard, Deng Man lost control and her mouth started talking without restraint. ¡°Bai Chuwei seduced Duan Xingye and Xu Xingchen by relying on her beauty. Thus, this shall serve as a little lesson to her! Let her stay inside and enjoy the scent of poop!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Deng Man looked at the gaping spectators and subconsciously covered her mouth. However, it was to no avail as she had already said everything that there was to say. Bai Chuwei gently touched her chin and looked at the shocked Tong Qingyan with interest. ¡°ss monitor, did you hear that? Now, do you think that there¡¯s a need for them to apologize?¡± Chapter 35: Self Reflection Of Three Thousand Words Chapter 35: Self Reflection Of Three Thousand Words Editor: Henyee Trantions Tong Qingyan¡¯splexion alternated between green and purple as she stood rooted in extreme embarrassment. How could she have possibly known that Deng Man and her gangmitted such acts. Moreover, one of them even admitted it in public. She seriously wondered if they had a screw loose or not! Tong Qingyan returned to her seat in silence. Deng Man looked at Bai Chuwei in horror but pretended to be calm andposed. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a little fight between students in the toilet. Student Bai, aren¡¯t you being too serious here that you can¡¯t even afford to take a joke?¡± Bai Chuwei retorted. ¡°A joke can only be considered a joke when both of us areughing.¡± Deng Man and her group¡¯s expressions were rather ugly and they noticed their ssmates agreeing with Bai Chuwei. Just as she wanted to quibble, a rough and familiar sounding voice exploded. ¡°Who! Who was the one who tied a mop to the door in the girls toilet?¡± The teacher-in-charge of Year 3 sses was a chubbydy in her forties. She was dressed in a formal attire and was currently shouting angrily at the door. When the students saw that Teacher Huang was approaching, all of them immediately covered their mouths and started whispering. ¡°Have you heard of it? Teacher Huang has stomach issues and frequently suffers from diarrhea.¡± ¡°Oh f*ck, could it be that Teacher Huang didn¡¯t manage to hold back and¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Teacher Huang became dizzy with anger. She did suffer from recurring diarrhea, especially whenever her stomach was exposed to cold air. Today, she rushed to the girls toilet to relieve herself and coincidentally, most of the cubicles were under repair. As for the remaining toilet that was in working condition, a mop was tied onto the door and she was unable to undo the knot Ultimately, she could no longer hold back and¡­ These bunch of students! Every single one of them was uneducated and rebellious. She shouted sternly. ¡°Who is the culprit? You had better stand up!¡± Deng Man and her gang shivered from fright and walked out from their seats with their heads lowered. Their faces were as white as paper and they looked at Bai Chuwei in resentment and confusion. Teacher Huang had mentioned that the mop was still tied to the door, so how did Bai Chuwei get out? Oh my god, oh my god! Could it be that Bai Chuwei was an evil spirit? Teacher Huang trembled in anger and said, ¡°Deng Man? It¡¯s you and your group, again? Before you start your self-revision tonight, hand over a 3000-word reflection essay. Not a single word less!¡± Deng Man and her gang¡¯s expression turned even paler and their knees went soft. As Year 3 students, they had a huge load of homework toplete. The increment of a handwritten 3000 word self reflection essay was too much. Oh gosh, they were in deep sh*t. Their hands would definitely be crippled by the end of it. ¡°You¡¯re unhappy about it? If so, then immediately get your parents to visit the school!¡± Deng Man bit her lips and maintained silence in unwillingness. Teacher Huang who was still furious nced at Bai Chuwei and said rudely, ¡°Which ss are you from? Hurry and return to your ssroom!¡± Bai Chuwei responded calmly. ¡°They are yet to apologize.¡± Deng Man and her gang had an unsightly expression as they lowered their heads and stiffly apologized. One by one, they said, ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡± Only then, was Bai Chuwei satisfied. She gave Bai Yinyin a meaningful nce before she left the ssroom. Bai Yinyin finally looked up with great difficulty while feeling fearful. Bai Chuwei wasn¡¯t trying to teach Deng Man and her gang a lesson. She was punishing them as an example to warn her. How ruthless of her! Tong Qingyan, who was seated together with the smarter students looked at Deng Man and her gang, who were almost in tears. After that, she nced at Bai Yinyin, and her sculpted brows knitted together. A thought suddenly surfaced in her mind. Aunt always said that men like obedient and gentle women and Bai Chuwei had bullied the other students in such a forceful manner. If the fourth young master were to know of it¡­ She bit her lips and secretly took out the phone in her drawer, and sent a message to Duan Feihan who was pinned at the top of her chat?list.1 * Bai Chuwei and the furious Teacher Huang hade out of the ssroom together. Teacher Huang was unaware of Bai Chuwei¡¯s grades and had only heard that she was from ss 9. Therefore, she assumed that she was a smart student and hence took a more amicable approach towards her. Bai Chuwei thought for a moment before taking out a small, blue patterned, white porcin vase. She said with a smile, ¡°Teacher Huang, this is a gift for you that you can eat whenever your stomach feels sick. I¡¯ll be returning to ss 9 now.¡± Teacher Huang looked on as Bai Chuwei took her leave. She smelled a fragrant scent the moment she opened the lid and happily muttered to herself. ¡°They¡¯re already in Year 3, but still carry candies like childrens.¡± Chapter 36: Your Handwriting Is Pretty Chapter 36: Your Handwriting Is Pretty Editor: Henyee Trantions Even though Teacher Huang had a short temper, she was rather popr with the students and would often receive small gifts on Teacher¡¯s Day. Therefore, she thought that these were normal candies that Bai Chuwei had gifted her. The fragrance was so tempting that she swallowed her saliva. However, when she recalled her toothache, she restrained herself and carried it back with her to the office. When she returned to her desk and saw her soiled pants that stunk of poop, her expression darkened. Thankfully she had a spare set of pants which she changed into earlier. She immediately threw the dirty trousers into the trash can. * Bai Chuwei came out of ss 11 and entered through ss 9 backdoor. Just as she walked in, she saw Duan Xingye winking at her and an eerie sneer could be heard from the podium. ¡°Yourckluster grade is pulling down the ss average and you dare to skip ss? You¡¯re really something else!¡± Bai Chuwei turned towards thenguage teacher, Mrs. Li, and smiled as she corrected her. ¡°Teacher Li, I believe my grades are rather good and if I had honestly skipped ss, I doubt you will see me inside the ss right now.¡± Duan Xingye quickly winked at Xu Xingchen and hastily added. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s only considered tardiness at most. Weiwei only joined the school yesterday and she might have lost her way.¡± Xu Xingchen also smiled and said, ¡°Teacher Li, Student Bai is a transfer student and we should give her a little more time to adapt.¡± All the female students in ss were secretly cursing her. ¡°Vixen!¡± To think that Duan Xingye and Xu Xingchen had spoken on her behalf together! Duan Xingye was from the Duan Family, a century old wealthy family, and Xu Xingchen was an outstanding student. Teacher Li could not possibly harp on the issue with both of them speaking up for the girl and so, she merely said in a mean tone, ¡°Take a good look at yournguage paper when you sit down. If there is a repeat of such marks, please get out of this ss. ss 9 only epts the best students!¡± Bai Chuwei raised her brows in curiosity as she returned to her seat and saw thenguage test paper on her table. There were numerous bright red crosses all over the test paper. As it was a simted ssroom test, ny marks were considered as a full score as there was no need for them to write aposition that was worth sixty marks. She had obtained fifty-two marks out of ny marks. Her grades were not considered extremely bad, but within ss 9, she was at the bottom of the list. Duan Xingye leaned over to look at Bai Chuwei¡¯s test papers. After some moment of silence, he finally found a praiseworthy point and said with difficulty, ¡°Actually¡­ your handwriting is pretty.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s smile was distorted. Did Duan Xingye mean to say that throughout the entire test paper, only her handwriting was worth looking at? Bai Chuwei stared at the test paper where there were some questions with zero marks given. ¡°Analyze what the author was thinking at that point in time, based on the scenery depicted in thest couplet of this poem.¡± The answer which she wrote was: ¡°There¡¯s no special meaning. Old Li was drunk at that time and casually wrote that to act cool.¡± ¡°In chapter 15 of ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯, in the scene ¡®Banquet of the Mountain, Sea and Sky¡¯, Yue Ji attended the banquet in a white embroidered and in dress. Please analyze why did the author n for Yue Ji to dress up in this way? Please exin the meaning behind it.¡± Her answer was: ¡°There¡¯s no special meaning. It was just written casually.¡± Duan Xingye wanted to cover his face. What kind of answers were these? How was she to score marks with such answers? Bai Chuwei was feelingplex at this moment. Old Li was indeed drunk when he wrote the poem, and it was written purely to act cool. There was no hidden meaning behind it. For the question on ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯, the Banquet of the Mountain, Sea and Sky was one of the climax scenes and Yue Ji was the female lead of the novel. However, Yue Ji¡¯s clothing description was added merely to hit the word count quota and earn the manuscript fee. There was really no hidden meaning! Bai Chuwei looked at those bright red crosses all over her test paper and fell into a state of self-doubt. Could it be that as the author, she did not understand her books better than these experts from thetter generation? Chapter 37: Have They Gone Blind? Chapter 37: Have They Gone Blind? Editor: Henyee Trantions This was simply¡­ ridiculous! If this was not overinterpretation, then what was it? While she was surfing the inte during the past few days, she learned that the eunuch novel which she randomly wrote two hundred years ago, ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯, had actually started up a school of thought that was named, ¡®Mountain Moonlight Academy¡¯. There were several university professions researching the particr novel. Yes, they were definitely overthinking this. Perhaps sensing Bai Chuwei¡¯splicated emotions, Duan Xingye pushed his test papers towards her so that she could see the answers which he had written. Even though Duan Xingye was a silly cannon fodder male character, he was able to enter ss 9 and that meant his grades were pretty good. Bai Chuwei took a glimpse at his paper and suddenly, her lips twitched. Question: There are two trees outside the wall. One is a Jujube Tree, and the other is also a Jujube Tree. Please analyze the?meaning1. Duan Xingye answered in this way: It expresses the author¡¯s loneliness. The author felt very dull and isted¡­¡± This question was worth four marks and Duan Xingye wrote a total of three lines worth of detailed analysis. Thus, sessfully obtaining all four marks. Bai Chuwei: ¡­ The truth was, she had been drunk and wanted to increase the word count to hit the quota. How did all these deep meaningse about?! Duan Xingye noticed Bai Chuwei¡¯s dark gaze and assumed that she was envious. He tried tofort her. ¡°Practice more on answering techniques and you can also answer these questions. Oh right, I¡¯ll give this to you.¡± Duan Xingye took out a book from his drawer and passed it to her as if he was offering her a treasure. ¡°This is the first ssic masterpiece, ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯, and a must test topic in ournguage examinations. Weiwei, you have to study it thoroughly.¡± Bai Chuwei was itching to m her head against the wall. Why should she study the eunuch novel which she had written herself??!! * It was lesson time and Teacher Li stood at the podium as she analyzed thenguage test. She would also look at Bai Chuwei with a cold gaze from time to time. The remaining sses were either taking tests or doing self-study. In ss 11, Deng Man and her gang had bitter expressions on their faces as they racked their brains to write a 3000-word reflection essay. Tong Qingyan was somewhat absentminded. Even though she was answering the test paper, she would secretly take out her phone from time to time. Every time she nced at her screen, her disappointment increased. Why hadn¡¯t the fourth young master replied? Could it be he had no spare time to check his phone while working? Or he did not wish to reply after having seen her message? In fact, Duan Feihan had indeed, not used his phone. Inside the conference room, a man was seated in the main seat while leaning against a 360 degree rotating office chair. With a fountain pen in his hand, he quietly listened to the reports. The person speaking was a department manager, a middle-aged man in his forties. He was sweating profusely and had barely managed to finish his report while stuttering under the steady gaze of Duan Feihan. Duan Feihan raised his brow and looked at him. He had no idea why his employees were so afraid to see him. With a knock, his assistant entered the room with a cup and there was an odd expression on his face. ¡°President Duan, here¡¯s your coffee.¡± Duan Feihan nodded and reached out for the cup which was in the shape of a chubby white hamster. It looked cartoonish and adorable. He took a sip from it and revealed a satisfied expression. Everyone in the conference room: !!! Oh my god, had they gone blind? Where did President Duan get that cup from? Such a cartoonish cup was aplete mismatch with Duan Feihan¡¯s stern personality. Duan Feihan looked up at his employees whose jaw was about to drop from shock and said, ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s meeting. I have an appointment this evening.¡± He had ns with Bai Chuwei to purchase medicinal ingredients together. He looked away from everyone¡¯s surprised gaze and grabbed his phone that had been on silent mode. When he unlocked it, he saw Tong Qingyan¡¯s message that was sent quite some time ago. He was disinterested in Tong Qingyna¡¯s message and had no intentions to reply. However, he suddenly saw the words, ¡®Student Bai Chuwei¡¯ and thus paused for a second before opening the chat. The more he read, the deeper his frown became¡­ Chapter 38: Mr Duan Is A Very Kind And Helpful Person Chapter 38: Mr Duan Is A Very Kind And Helpful Person Editor: Henyee Trantions After the bell rang, Bai Chuwei ignored Teacher Li¡¯s cold nces and calmly took out her phone from the drawer and pressed the answer button. ¡°Hello?¡± Just as Teacher Li was leaving with the lesson materials in hand, she saw Bai Chuwei and her expression darkened. Even though the school forbade Year 3 students from bringing their phones to school, there were too many wealthy students and they could only close their eyes towards their behaviour. However, she had never seen such an arrogant student who answered her phone before the teacher had left the ssroom! Teacher Li snorted before leaving. A man¡¯s deep voice slowly sounded from the opposite end. ¡°Miss Bai.¡± Bai Chuwei never expected to receive a call from Duan Feihan at this time. Her fingers gently tapped on her phone and when she saw Duan Xingye¡¯s surprised gaze, she made a guess. ¡°Why is Mr Duan calling me at this time? Could it be¡­ you¡¯re afraid that I might change my mind?¡± After all, the prescription was still in her hands. Duan Feihan was silent for several seconds before he said slowly, ¡°Miss Bai, I know what happened in school today. Be it in your studies or lifestyle, if you are in need of any assistance, I can help.¡± Bai Chuwei was stunned for quite some time before she realized that he was referring to the sh between her and Deng Man. Bai Chuwei could not help but sigh. ¡°Mr Duan, you are a really kind and helpful person. Thank you for your offer, but I¡¯ve already resolved that issue.¡± Duan Xingye, who was seated nearby, thought his ears had failed him. His fourth uncle was a kind and helpful person? What the f*ck! Everyone in the Duan Family knew that Duan Feihan hated trouble the most and his rtionship with others was also the weakest. Duan Xingye pondered for a moment but could not understand Duan Feihan¡¯s actions. He could only assume it to be¡­ the deep love between his uncle and his grandfather. Duan Feihan sat before his office table and gazed at the cartoonish cup and slightly curled his lips. ¡°I understand. See you after your lessons.¡± Bai Chuwei, who had hung up the phone, sighed with myriads of emotions. Before the novel¡¯s ultimate boss turned evil, he was really a kindhearted and nice man. To think that she had a slight prejudice towards viins. * With a cold expression, Teacher Li walked into the office on her high-heels and saw Teacher Huang sitting there. Teacher Huang currently had a pair of sses on and was grading the students¡¯ homework. Teacher Li said impatiently, ¡°Teacher Huang, should we have that Bai Chuwei transfer to another ss? Her results are toockluster and she¡¯s pulling down ss 9 with her!¡± Teacher Huang chuckled and took off her sses. ¡°She has just arrived here. You ought to give her some time to adapt. Come and have a candy that Bai Chuwei gave me and calm down.¡± Li Juan¡¯s line of sight fell onto the white porcin bottle on Teacher Huang¡¯s table. When she reached out and opened the cap, a faint fragrance wafted from the bottle and caused her to swallow her saliva. The milk-white candy immediately melted and the sweet fragrance flooded into her mouth. Teacher Li¡¯s eyes brightened and she could not help but reach out for a few more candies from the porcin bottle as she stuffed them all into her mouth. Li Juan¡¯s eyes curved into crescent moons. ¡°This candy is really yummy, and it somewhat makes my stomach feel morefortable.¡± When she said that, she scoffed at the same time. ¡°She doesn¡¯t study hard and only knows how to give candies to teachers!¡± As the bell just rang, the respective teachers returned to the office, one after another. A young male teacher who had several books in his hand, saw Teacher Li leaning against Teacher Huang¡¯s table and eating candies. His gaze froze and an expression of horror surfaced on his face. ¡°Wait a minute, Teacher Li. The thing you have in your hand¡­¡± Chapter 39: Medicine For Illness! Chapter 39: Medicine For Illness! Editor: Henyee Trantions The young teacher came over in a sh and snatched the porcin bottle from Li Juan¡¯s hands. He dropped the books he was holding and carefully scrutinized the bottle in his hands. His expression became increasinglyplicated. Li Juan was taken aback by his actions. She asked curiously. ¡°Teacher Zhao, what¡¯s wrong with these candies? Are they some super expensive brand?¡± Majority of the students were from wealthy families and Li Juan had received enough internationally branded candies from her students. However, she had never seen Teacher Zhao with such an expression on his face. The young teacher taught history and had a postgraduate degree from a famous university. Moreover, it was said that both his father and grandfather were archaeology and history researchers. To sum it up, he had a profound family background. Teacher Zhao¡¯s expression became increasingly stunned as he muttered to himself. ¡°The craftsmanship of this porcin bottle is simr to the smelting technique that has been lost for centuries. Take a look at the fine pattern on this bottle. Only a professional craftsman can identify it. Oh my god¡­ I¡¯ve only seen this in books!¡± The other teachers inside the office had also gathered around in curiosity. Li Juan was in disbelief. ¡°Teacher Zhou, so this is an imitation?¡± Teacher Zhao carefully ced down the bottle and sent a few photos to his grandfather. His voice was rather agitated. ¡°Imitation? This craftsmanship has not been revealed until today. It¡¯s impossible to replicate it!¡± All of them were awed when they heard that. Teacher Zhao opened the bottle and a faint fragrance rose up from within. ¡°These don¡¯t seem to be candies, but medicine instead.¡± Just as Teacher Zhao said that, a knock came at the door and a woman in her thirties walked in. The woman walked towards Teacher Huang and said, ¡°Teacher Huang, I am Zhou Feng¡¯s wife. I¡¯m here on his behalf to sort out some information.¡± The attention of all the teachers was instantly shifted to her. Someone asked her. ¡°I believe Teacher Zhou¡¯s illness would at least require a few years to recover?¡± Another teacher chipped in. ¡°But I heard that Teacher Zhou¡¯s condition has changed for the better? If you need any help, do tell.¡± Zhou Feng¡¯s wife packed his belongings and said with a smile, ¡°My husband mentioned that Bai Chuwei had pricked him with a few needles and gave him some sort of panacea which has helped him to recover rapidly. He¡¯ll be able to return to work after one week of rest.¡± Zhou Feng would be able to return so soon? Didn¡¯t he have some sort of a brain tumour? Zhou Feng¡¯s wife turned to look at the shocked teachers and took out a pile of material. ¡°Teacher huang, this is some maths learning materials that Zhou Feng burned midnight oil to organize for Bai Chuwei. Please help me to pass it to her as a token of his thanks for her help.¡± Zhou Feng had recalled that Bai Chuwei did not have any records of achievement and assumed that she might be bad in her studies. Therefore, he had worked really hard to organize some valuable materials from recent years and asked his wife to deliver it on his behalf. Teacher Huang gulped and stared at Zhou Feng¡¯s wife in shock. She knew that Teacher Zhou had been forced to take leave to recuperate due to his fainting incident. However, she never expected his condition to turn for the better due to Bai Chuwei! Could it be that she was really an expert in medical skills? Is that how did Bai Chuwei get to know of her condition? Could it be that her eyes had the X-ray feature? In addition, she was so skilled at such a young age? Teacher Huang stood rooted on the spot. All of a sudden, Bai Chuwei¡¯s previous words surfaced in her mind. ¡°Teacher Huang, this is a gift for you. You can eat it when your stomach feels sick.¡± This was¡­ medicine? They weren¡¯t sweets? Teacher Huang had been suffering from diarrhea for more than half a year and even visited several doctors, but to no avail. It had caused her to suffer unspeakably. Her eyes instantly reddened and she rushed to grab the porcin bottle. When she took a look at the contents, she was stupefied and yelled loudly. ¡°WHY ARE THERE ONLY THREE REMAINING!?¡± Chapter 40: Skipping Class To Go On A Date With Fourth Uncle? Chapter 40: Skipping ss To Go On A Date With Fourth Uncle? Editor: Henyee Trantions Li Juan awkwardly stood in her ce and remained silent. She had found those candies really yummy and so¡­ she ate most of them! Teacher Huang roared in anger. ¡°Teacher Li, didn¡¯t I offer you only one candy? Why did you finish everything? Why are you such a glutton? These are medicinal pills. Is there a need to eat so many?¡± Li Juan felt like disappearing into the ground. ¡°I, Teacher Huang, I¡­¡± Teacher Huang nced at the trash can which was outside the room and her eyes turned red. She had been humiliated due to her diarrhea, multiple times and the students always mocked her for not being able to hold back! Teacher Huang moistened her lips and immediately went towards ss 9 with the learning materials that Zhou Feng had prepared for Bai Chuwei. Her actions caused the teachers inside the office to be dumbstruck. When the rowdy students inside ss 9 saw Teacher Huang dashing in with a pile of materials, they scurried back to their seats in fright. ¡°What the heck, Teacher Huang seems to be getting more ferocious! She¡¯sing in for a surprise inspection even after ss?¡± One of the male students, who was copying homework felt fearful. ¡°Oh my god, I was frightened out of my wits¡± ¡°¡­¡± Teacher Huang walked towards Bai Chuwei with the learning materials. Thetter took off her earphones leisurely before looking at Teacher Huang and said with a smile, ¡°How can I help you?¡± The whole ss: !! Oh my god, kudos to her! Teacher Huang came in for a surprise inspection and Bai Chuwei was still in the mood to take off her ear phones in front of her? Gao Qiaoqiao said in a soft and gloating voice, ¡°Bai Chuwei¡¯s phone will definitely be confiscated!¡± When Teacher Huang saw Bai Chuwei¡¯s smile, she turned red in embarrassment. ¡°Erm, student Bai. The candies that you gave me in the morning¡­ oh I mean medicine, do you still have any remaining?¡± Bai Chuwei raised her brow and immediately knew what happened when their eyes met. She smiled and took out an identical porcin bottle from her small embroidered satchel and gave it to her. Teacher Huang was really happy and excited as she put down the pile of materials from her hands to the table. She took the bottle with both hands and carefully kept it into her pocket. She then gestured at the pile of materials towards Bai Chuwei and said, ¡°These are the maths learning materials which Teacher Zhou has organized for you.¡± The smile on Bai Chuwei¡¯s gradually stiffened. There was honestly no need for this as she disliked studying. Just as Teacher Huang was about to leave the ssroom, a female student spoke out loudly with injustice in her voice. ¡°Teacher Huang, Bai Chuwei was using her phone just a moment ago. Why didn¡¯t you confiscate it?¡± Teacher Huang stared nkly at her for a moment and then suddenly recalled something. She pointed at several students and shouted. ¡°You, you, and you. Hand over your phones and game consoles! Don¡¯t think that I didn¡¯t see them!¡± The entire ss: ¡­.? What the f*ck? Was there a need for such tant discrepancy in treatment? Gao Qiaoqiao was forced to hand over her game console and while feeling unfair, she said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you confiscate Bai Chuwei¡¯s?¡± Bai Chuwei swung her earpiece back into her ear and her lips curled up. ¡°I¡¯m revising listeningprehension.¡± After she said that, Bai Chuwei pulled out her earphones and a listeningprehension with english ent could be heard. The entire ss: She was really listening to englishprehension? Teacher Huang confiscated several phones and left the ssroom in satisfaction. Duan Xingye immediately approached Bai Chuwei and looked at her. ¡°Weiwei, what did you give Teacher Huang?¡± Bai Chuwei packed her bag and shook her head. Duan Xingye revealed a pitiful expression. ¡°Why can¡¯t you give me a bottle as well? Is it very expensive?¡± Bai Chuwei carried her empty bag and walked out of the ssroom before she said, ¡°It¡¯s not expensive, one bottle costs around a hundred thousand yuan. However, those without any illness will vomit and get diarrhea if they were to consume it.¡± Duan Xingye: What? A hundred thousand yuan was inexpensive? Was it made of gold? He stared nkly at the empty seat for a moment and thought to himself. ¡°In order to go on a date with my fourth uncle, Weiwei is skipping ss??¡± Chapter 41: Be Careful Not To Overturn Your Public Image Chapter 41: Be Careful Not To Overturn Your Public Image Editor: Henyee Trantions Henghua Secondary School¡¯s self-revision in the evening was voluntary, but due to their uing university entrance exam, all the students attended it by default. However, who knew that Bai Chuwei would run away from it! Most of the students were doing self-revision when Bai Chuwei walked past the corridor with her empty school bag slung on her shoulder. A gentle male voice suddenly sounded from behind her. ¡°Student Bai Chuwei.¡± Bai Chuwei stopped and turned to see Xu Xingchen running towards her direction. He had a pair of long and slender legs, outstanding appearance and together with his gentle smile, he looked like the male god. Xu Xingchen ran towards her and the corner of his outerwear fluttered in the wind. When both of them stood side by side, it seemed to form a pretty picture. Duan Feihan had driven into the school in his car when he saw the scene through his car¡¯s window. His eyes gradually darkened. Xu Xingchen asked while panting. ¡°Student Bai, is there anything you are unable to adapt to, in school? Is that why you aren¡¯t staying for the evening self-revision? If you need any help, you can tell me.¡± Bai Chuwei sized up Xu Xingchen with interest. As expected of the male lead, it was no wonder that he could attract bees and butterflies around him with his behavior. She then answered in all honesty. ¡°There¡¯s nothing I¡¯m ufortable with. I¡¯m going on a date.¡± Xu Xingchen was stunned for a moment and nearly thought his ears were ying tricks on him. Student Bai Chuwei was going on a date, therefore she was not attending the evening self-revision? He awkwardly said with a smile, ¡°Then I shall not disturb you¡­¡± Bai Chuwei stood in ce and casually swept the flower petals which had fallen on her head and called out to Xu Xingchen. ¡°ss representative, do you like me?¡± Xu Xingchen had not expected her to be so straightforward. However, how could he possibly like Bai Chuwei? Without a doubt, she was beautiful and her demeanor was iparable to others. However, she gave off a feeling that she was someone who could not be controlled. Xu Xingchen replied with a smile. ¡°Student Bai, you¡¯re mistaken.¡± Bai Chuwei was aware that Xu Xingchen would belong to Tong Qingyan in the future and would not fall in love with any girl at this point in time. Bai Chuwei took out the heel sticker from her bag and stuffed it into his hands as she said, ¡°ss representative, even though it is good to appear warm-hearted and kind, but be careful lest it bites you in the back. A central air-conditioner would attract hate all around.¡± Xu Xingchen¡¯s smile gradually stiffened. His eyes stared fixedly at the heel sticker in his hand and his lips turned pale. He had been nice to all the female students which resulted in their interest towards him. He hoped that in future, all of them would be fruitful connections for him. He would not even give a second nce to someone who had no use to him in the future. But he was careful enough to not let anyone figure out his behavior. However¡­ Bai Chuwei seems to have seen through his thoughts. Bai Chuwei went around Xu Xingchen and calmly walked forward before stopping in front of a ck car. Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly saw Duan Feihan¡¯s chilly gaze staring at Xu Xingchen from afar. She could not help but sigh deep down. Duan Feihan was indeed the viinous character in the plot. He would start a huge fight with the male lead, Xu Xingchen in the future. The scenario had only started and Duan Feihan already disliked him. Bai Chuwei slid in the front seat and asked curiously while she fastened her seat belt. ¡°Mr. Duan, you didn¡¯t bring in your driver today?¡± In the original novel, Duan Feihan would usually ask the driver to take him around. Duan Feihan¡¯s gaze gradually darkened and he hummed nomittally. After he saw Bai Chuwei seated properly, he drove out of the schoolpound. The ck car moved rather slowly and quietly drove past rows ofrge trees nted on the sides of the driveway. Xu Xingchen stood rooted on the ground and unconsciously clenched his fists. His eyes had turned red. Supposedly, supposedly he was also someone from the Duan Family¡­ However, Duan Feihan and Duan Xingye could enjoy everything that the Duan Family provided, but he had to work hard to n his future. The heavens were really unfair. Chapter 42: Get Me 10KG Of Every Item Chapter 42: Get Me 10KG Of Every Item Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei fiddled around with her pitch-ck hair out of boredom while sitting in the car. All of a sudden, she smiled and asked. ¡°Mr. Duan, are you the official sessor of the Duan Family?¡± Duan Feihan did not understand why she had asked that question, but he answered with indifference. ¡°You can say so.¡± The Duan Family had been expanding rather swiftly under his management and it would soon surpass the other eight great aristocratic families in China. Bai Chuwei merely smiled in response. In the original novel, Duan Feihan was recognized as the rightful sessor at the start. However, Xu Xingchen entered the family in the future and obtained old man Duan¡¯s favor, snatching away his position as the heir. It was no wonder that Duan Feihan turned into a viin. Thepany that he had developed was seized by the male lead. Anyone in his position would be unwilling to ept that. When Bai Chuwei thought of how Xu Xingchen treated the original owner of her body in the original novel, she had the urge to crush his head. However, if the male lead were to die, how was the plot supposed to progress? Duan Feihan¡¯s low voice suddenly arose in the car, piercing her thoughts. ¡°Miss Bai, are we going to the Spiritual Medicine Hall to purchase medicinal ingredients?¡± Spiritual Medicine Hall was thergest ce in Sea City that sold traditional chinese ingredients. The traditional medicine expert, Liu Zhen was also the medicine hall¡¯s in-charge. Bai Chuwei nodded and looked on as Duan Feihan drove to the Spiritual Medicine Hall. The moment she stepped into one of the outlets, she saw rows of brown-colored drawers with all sorts of differentbels. There was a strong scent of bitterness inside the ce. ¡°Wee, how can I help you? What medicine are you looking for? Do you have a prescription?¡± The boss walked up and weed them warmly. Then he said with a smile, ¡°We have everything here.¡± Bai Chuwei smiled in response. ¡°Do you have ginseng?¡± The boss¡¯s eyes brightened and he served them even more enthusiastically. ¡°Ginseng? Yes, yes, we do have it! Are you looking at manually cultivated ginseng or wild ginseng? Around how many years old, are you looking at?¡± ¡°Do you have wild ginseng that is a hundred years old?¡± The boss gasped and said, ¡°Yes.¡± Today was most probably a huge business day! Bai Chuwei raised her gaze and with a wave of her hand, she said with generosity, ¡°Very good. Give me ten catties¡­ oh wait, ten kilograms of hundred year old wild ginseng!¡± When the ted boss heard what she said, his eyes widened and his legs nearly went soft. ¡°Miss, are you joking with me?¡± Ten kilograms? Did she think that she was buying cabbage in a market? Bai Chuwei raised her brows and looked towards Duan Feihan. Immediately after, he took out a ck card from his suit pocket. Boss: ¡­? Oh my god, was she for real? The boss was speechless. He pped his hands and said with helplessness, ¡°Miss, I do wish to do your business, but how could we possibly have ten kilograms of hundred years old, wild ginseng here? How about this¡­¡± The boss observed Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression and continued to say respectfully, ¡°Why don¡¯t you and your boyfriend wait here for a bit. I¡¯ll immediately contact all our outlets to gather the required amount, hmm?¡± Bai Chuwei did not bother to pay attention to the first part of his sentence, and merely continued with her order. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll give you a list of medicinal ingredients. Give me ten kilos of everything in that list.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes gradually darkened. When the boss received the list and took a look at it, his legs nearly crumbled. Oh my god, every single one of these medicinal ingredients was extremely precious and based on the quantity needed, it would cost at least two hundred million. The boss¡¯s mouth trembled along with his moustache. He gulped noisily and asked her. ¡°Dear customers, are you serious?¡± Duan Feihan calmly nodded and said, ¡°Prepare it ording to her request. Money is not a problem.¡± Oh my god, this was a ssic example of tant show off of wealth! The little miss was acting wilfully and yet, the boyfriend had allowed her to behave as she pleased. In any case, he was rich and capable of doting on her! The boss excitedly pped his thigh and said, ¡°May the both of you live a long and happy life together. I¡¯ll immediately prepare the items!¡± Chapter 43: Call Me Sister Chapter 43: Call Me Sister Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei: May the both of you live a long and happy life together?? Bai Chuwei nced at Duan Feihan. He was standing outside the entrance and his expression was normal. Tsk¡­ he was indeed the future viin. His ability to remain calm in unexpected situations was really good! The boss¡¯s cheeks were flushed due to excitement and he dashed out of the shop with the order list. He stood in the middle of the za with a loudspeaker and yelled loudly. ¡°Attention! Come immediately and prepare medicinal ingredients. A huge business just came in, a huge business!¡± All the different suppliers in the Spiritual Medicine Hall were shocked and the ce turned into a state ofmotion. Most importantly¡­ that ck card belonged to the Duan Family! An illustrious family was not going to scam them. Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan were warmly received by the staff and the apprentices enthusiastically delivered tea to them. Bai Chuwei took a sip from her cup and gave a sidelong nce to the man next to her. ¡°Mr Duan, aren¡¯t you curious?¡± ¡°No.¡± The man rubbed the sandalwood Buddha beads on his left wrist, whose pattern was soon about to disappear due to frequent rubbing. He said in a low voice, ¡°Miss Bai, you can spend as much as you wish.¡± Duan Feihan was someone who had been involved in business for quite some time. How could he possibly not know the problem about Bai Chuwei¡¯s list? There were hundreds of different types of medicinal ingredients and every single one of them was precious. Moreover, she had requested ten kilograms of every item. Bai Chuwei¡¯s smile gradually deepened. All of a sudden, she put down the tea cup and drew closer to the man¡¯s handsome face. The breath she exhaled could be felt on his face. Duan Feihan¡¯s expression changed slightly and he shifted his gaze away. ¡°Mr Duan has so much trust in me? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I might harm your father by giving an incorrect prescription?¡± The youngdy¡¯s breath whispered against his face and a faint medicinal fragrance seemed to entice him. Duan Feihan¡¯s palm on his thigh had tightened unconsciously, wrinkling his neat and tidy trousers. Duan Feihan articted in a clear voice as he said, ¡°I trust you.¡± Bai Chuwei looked at the man¡¯s calm and handsome face, but she could nor discern any sort of emotion from him. However, she noticed that the tips of his ear had turned red. Aww! He was still as adorable as he had been in his young age. The cold-looking little boy was awkward and proud at the same time, but had pretended to look calm. At that time, with great difficulty, he had made himself sound casual. ¡°Since you want a hug, I¡¯ll let you give me one.¡± The image of this tall and attractive man in front of her ovepped in Bai Chuwei¡¯s mind with that of the adorable little kid from her memories. Instantly, the alienation she felt towards him, lessened. ¡°Miss Bai?¡± Bai Chuwei recovered and curled her red lips. ¡°There¡¯s no need to call me by that name anymore.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s expression changed and an unknown warm current surged from his heart and his thin lips moved. ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you¡­¡± Before he could manage to say, ¡®Weiwei¡¯, Bai Chuwei had said, ¡°Call me?sister.¡±1 That was what this adorable little kid called her in the past. Regardless of how Duan Xiuqi tried to correct him and coax him to call her ¡®sister-inw¡¯, he only called her ¡®sister¡¯. Duan Feihan: ¡­ Duan Feihan¡¯s usual calm andposed face suddenly cracked and he was momentarily stunned. What? Sister? He was twenty-four this year and Bai Chuwei seemed to be of the same age as Duan Xingye, which meant that she had yet to reach the age of eighteen! Just as Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan gazes shed, a medical apprentice came running in. When he saw the close proximity and the ambiguous atmosphere around, he was slightly embarrassed. In an awkward voice, he said, ¡°Sorry for disturbing your uh, personal time, but something has happened.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s attention was pulled away by that medical apprentice. She furrowed her brows as she asked. ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± The apprentice hastily said, ¡°It¡¯s about the Four Season Spring on the list you gave us. Only Liuji Medicine Hall has that ingredient, but they are unwilling to sell it.¡± Bai Chuwei frowned and asked him again. ¡°There¡¯s someone who rejects business?¡± Just as she said that, a sneering female voice sounded from outside. ¡°Bai Chuwei, we won¡¯t sell that medicinal ingredient to you!¡± Deng Manli walked into the shop with her bag and looked at Bai Chuwei in triumph. Chapter 44: Splash Cold Water And Wake Him Up! Chapter 44: Ssh Cold Water And Wake Him Up! Editor: Henyee Trantions Deng Man and her gang finally managed to finish the three thousand word self-reflection essay which had been the punishment from Teacher Huang. She had cried as her hands were almost crippled when she finished with the task. Feeling too tired to do anything else, she skipped the evening self-study session and went home with her schoolbag. Her father was an apprentice of Liu Zhen, one of the renowned masters of chinese medicine. He had opened Liuji Medicine Hall under the banner of Liu Zhen. If she said that they would not sell the ingredient, who would dare to go against her? Deng Man crossed her arms and looked at Bai Chuwei arrogantly. In a smug voice, she announced loudly. ¡°In the entire Sea City, only Liuji Medicine Hall sells Four Season Spring. Unfortunately, I¡¯m in a bad mood today and I don¡¯t feel like selling it to you.¡± Even though the Deng Family was not extremely wealthy, no one in the entire Henghua Secondary School dared to offend her. Everyone knew that her father was Liu Zhen¡¯s apprentice, and he was someone who was extremely protective of his own. Therefore, offending her was indirectly offending Liu Zhen. All humans ate grains and were bound to fall sick someday. Who knew if a time woulde where they needed help from Liu Zhen? However, Bai Chuwei suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the slut dared to bully her! Now that she had the upper hand, Deng Man wanted Bai Chuwei to cry and beg for forgiveness! Bai Chuwei looked at Deng Man¡¯s proud appearance and could not help but find it funny. She had lived for five thousand years and there were very few who dared to threaten her. Bai Chuwei stroked her chin with interest and stared at Deng Man as if looking at a joke. She then smiled and told the girl in front of her. ¡°This is Duan Xingye¡¯s fourth uncle, Mr. Duan Feihan.¡± Deng Man¡¯s expression underwent a change when she looked at him. When her eyes collided with Duan Feihan¡¯s chilly gaze, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she stepped back subconsciously. This was the fourth young master of Duan Family, who dominated the business industry and had an imposing aura. Deng Man did not dare to meet Duan Feihan¡¯s gaze. She realised that she had shot herself in the foot. Who would not know Duan Feihan in Sea City? He was the one who currently led the Duan Family¡¯s business and had faint signs of overtaking the eight aristocratic families. In addition, he was a really decisive man. However, she had already dered they won¡¯t be selling the ingredient and if she were to agree now¡­ Deng Man¡¯splexion alternated between green and purple. She was really unwilling to embarrass herself. She gritted her teeth and changed the tactic. ¡°Four Season Spring is too precious and it¡¯s not something my father and I can decide to sell. You must¡­ you must obtain Master Liu¡¯s approval.¡± Bai Chuwei nced at Duan Feihan and he picked up the bag which she had thrown on one side before heading towards Liuji Medicine Hall with her. Bai Chuwei¡¯s bag felt rather empty. It didn¡¯t seem to have any weight. Duan Feihan furrowed his brows. ¡°Miss Bai, there are no books in your bag?¡± Bai Chuwei answered nonchntly. ¡°Books? The bag only has a famous book which Duan Xingye gave me, nothing else.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes turned cold as he thought about this. ¡®A book which Duan Xingye gave her¡­¡¯ They entered Liuji Medicine Hall and saw a middle-aged man sitting inside the shop. His face betrayed a nervous expression. His hands were clenched together and he kept looking towards the backyard from time to time. ¡°Dad, where¡¯s Master Liu?¡± Deng Man¡¯s father answered in concern. ¡°Teacher Liu is sleeping in the backyard.¡± Deng Man was overjoyed as she heard that and looked at Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan in a fake apologetic manner. ¡°Student Bai, you can¡¯t me me for this. Master Liu is currently sleeping. If you wish to purchase Four Season Spring, you cane another day.¡± Bai Chuwei did not even bother to look at her. She changed her route and walked towards the backyard. Everyone in Liuji Medicine Hall was shocked. Duan Manli, thatss chased behind Bai Chuwei and shouted. ¡°Bai Chuwei, don¡¯t go too far. I¡¯ve already said that Master Liu is sleeping!¡± On a wooden reclining chair in the backyard surrounded by a medicine garden, Liu Zhen was currently snoring and no noise could seem to wake him up. Bai Chuwei nced at him and said immediately, ¡°Wake him up by sshing cold water on his face!¡± Everyone present there was stunned. This Bai Chuwei was crazy. She wanted to ssh cold water to wake up Master Liu? Chapter 45: Dear Ancestor, I Know My Mistake Now Chapter 45: Dear Ancestor, I Know My Mistake Now Editor: Henyee Trantions There were plenty of apprentices in Liuji Medicine Hall, but who would dare to do so? ¡°If you don¡¯t wish for him to die, do it now!¡± All the apprentices present there were screaming internally. Those who wished to court death could go ahead and throw water on Master Liu! As a result, everyone stood rooted. No one dared move even a muscle. Bai Chuwei could not help by sigh and was just about to do it herself. All of a sudden, a silhouette shed past her, and decisively raised the water basin from the ground, ruthlessly sshing it on the sound asleep, Liu Zhen! In an instant, Liu Zhen, who had been leaning against the wooden reclining chair, waspletely drenched. Beads of water dripped from his hair and shock permeated through his body. Bai Chuwei looked at Duan Feihan, who had just thrown the empty basin to one side with an air of dignity. What the f*ck! Were they crazy? They dared to throw water on Master Liu? It was spring and the temperature was lower than average. Liu Zhen, who was drenched from head to toe, shivered like a rat and fell down from his reclining chair. He had a look of nk panic on his face. But, he was finally wide awake. After a few moments, he got up from the ground, wiped away the beads of water on his face and asked in aplicated tone. ¡°Who threw water on me?¡± Everyone standing there was about to go crazy from fright! Master Liu was a hundred and twenty years old man. What if he were to fall sick due to this incident? Deng Man was frightened to the extent that she immediately exposed the culprit. ¡°Grandpa Liu, this has nothing to do with any of us. It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s Bai Chuwei! She was the one who did it.¡± Bai Chuwei? The name grabbed Liu Zhen¡¯s attention and his eyes revealed traces of self-mocking. He looked at Bai Chuwei and his expressions changed once again! Liu Zhen seemed to have gone crazy as he continuously muttered. ¡°Great! It was a great move!¡± His nose soured and in an instant, his knees went soft. He knelt before her and said out loud in a repenting tone, ¡°Dear ancestor, I know my mistake now. I was the one who was nearsighted and offended the ancestor! I¡¯m the crazy one!¡± Liu Zhen was honestly frightened. Ever since he returned from Duan Family¡¯s residence yesterday, he kept dreaming of his teacher who had passed away numerous years ago. In the dreams, he had been pressed on the ground and was chided by his teacher constantly. Throughout the night, his teacher kept lecturing him for disrespecting Bai Chuwei and for even daring to belittle her. He had forced himself to stay awake in the morning but unexpectedly, he fell asleep due to exhaustion in the afternoon and his teacher visited him once again in his dreams. His teacher was very disappointed with him and said that he was stubborn and inflexible. In addition, he wanted to take him along so as to not offend Bai?Chuwei!1 Beads of cold sweat trickled down his neck as Liu Zhen looked at Bai Chuwei in fear and awe. If¡­ it weren¡¯t for that basin of water, he might have really died. Liu Zhen¡¯s mind was filled with Bai Chuwei¡¯s previous words. ¡®Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll let him look for you tonight.¡¯ His teacher really came that night looking for him! Liu Zhen suddenly had a feeling that he barely escaped death, and hence his gaze towards Bai Chuwei turned respectful. Everyone was dumbfounded. Did Liu Zhen go crazy? Water had been thrown on him and instead of scolding the perpetrator, he was kneeling on the ground and calling her ancestor? Bai Chuwei flipped her hair and asked himzily. ¡°You¡¯re awake, finally? If yes, then hurry and tell me if you are willing to sell the medicinal ingredient or not.¡± Liu Zhen did not care about his drenched clothes and looked at Deng Man¡¯s father. ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± Deng Man hastily said, ¡°Grandpa Liu, this Bai Chuwei insists on buying Four Seasons Spring and is demanding an exorbitant amount of ten kilograms of the same!¡± Her father looked at Liu Zhen who was kneeling in front of Bai Chuwei and loud drums started beating in his heart. ¡°Teacher, are we to sell the medicinal ingredient?¡± Liu Zhen stood up and angrily yelled at Deng Man¡¯s father, with his spittle sshing all over the man¡¯s face. ¡°Sell? What the hell! Who dares to sell it?¡± Before Deng Man could gloat after listening to these words, Liu Zhen waved his hand and said to Bai Chuwei with a ttering smile, ¡°How can I possibly dare to sell things that ancestor wants? How much do you need? I¡¯ll give you as much as you require.¡± Chapter 46: You Can Call Me By My Name Chapter 46: You Can Call Me By My Name Editor: Henyee Trantions Aplete silence enveloped the surroundings. Everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open, as if they had seen a ghost. Deng Man couldn¡¯t help but blurt out. ¡°Grandpa Liu, are you still asleep?¡± Liu Zhen was a master of chinese medicine and usually had a short fuse. On normal days, he was quite fond of his disciple¡¯s daughter, Deng Man, but for some reason, today hepletely changed his nature and scolded her. ¡°Asleep? If I had continued sleeping any longer, I would¡¯ve died!¡± ¡°Little Deng, you had better take control of your daughter in the future. She ought to be studying hard in her senior Year 3, don¡¯t let here here as often as she likes.¡± Deng Man took a step back in shock. Grandpa Liu was forbidding her froming here in the future? Just as she wanted to argue back, her father covered her mouth. Her father had been spit on by Master Liu just a moment ago and he did not even dare to clean his face. How could he possibly allow his daughter to offend Master Liu? Bai Chuwei revealed a meaningful smile and said, ¡°Four Season Spring is a rather expensive medicinal ingredient. There¡¯s no need for you to give it for free. I¡¯ll pay for it instead.¡± But Liu Zhen cried out instantly. ¡°Dear Ancestor, I¡¯ll gift it to you! Let me give it to you! I have plenty here!¡± Before Bai Chuwei could speak any further, Liu Zhen ran towards the storefront and howled at the stunned medical apprentice. ¡°Why are you still standing here? Immediately count the remaining inventory of the Four Season Springs inside the shop and bring it all out!¡± After Master Liu issued themand, everyone started working in a frenzy. Bai Chuwei smiled and shrugged her shoulders at Deng Man. It was not her fault. It was the old man who insisted on giving it. ¡°Send all the ingredients to Liuji Medicine Hall¡¯s entrance.¡± Bai Chuwei ordered. Soon, variousrge medicine halls had delivered the ingredients as instructed. Liu Zhen, who had changed his clothes and was walking towards the area, was stunned by the scene before him. Was there an epidemicing? Or was there a big sale on? Every single item was precious and expensive. Bai Chuwei raised her chin and motioned at Duan Feihan. ¡°The Four Seasons Spring is free, but we have to pay the other medicine halls.¡± That pile of medicinal ingredients finally cost Duan Feihan a total of three hundred million yuan, but he did not react in the slightest. Duan Feihan sent for a driver to deliver all the medicinal ingredients to Bai Chuwei¡¯s residence. Bai Chuwei looked at the trembling Liu Zhen and said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let your teacher look for you again in your dreams.¡± Liu Zhen frantically nodded and trembled. He hastily sent Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan out of the Liuji Medicine Hall. The skies were beginning to darken while Duan Feihan walked side by side with Bai Chuwei. Bai Chuwei looked up at the night sky in boredom and sighed. The sky in Sea City was way inferiorpared to Yunwu Mountain where stars dotted the entire panorama. ¡°Miss Bai, these medicinal ingredients are not for my father. Am I correct?¡± The man asked her abruptly. Bai Chuwei stopped walking and looked at him while blinking her eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to call me sister?¡± The man¡¯s expression appeared grim as he looked at her. Bai Chuwei could onlyugh as she said, ¡°Forget it, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t wish to. You can call me as you like.¡± The two continued walking side by side and Bai Chuwei stroked her delicate jaw. After a moment, she replied with a thought-provoking smile. ¡°Those are indeed not for your father. These for my personal needs. But how did you know that?¡± The man suddenly closed the gap between them and a faint male perfume scent assaulted his nose. It was inexplicable¡­ she smelled nice. Duan Feihan said in a low voice, ¡°Chuwei, there¡¯s a faint medicinal scent on you.¡± And by that, he meant that Bai Chuwei herself was sick. Both of them were in such close proximity that their shadows nearly merged into each other. Bai Chuwei¡¯s gaze suddenly flickered and she stepped back with an easy smile. ¡°Mr. Duan is very smart.¡± She had indeed conned him. The man stood straight, simr to a noble person belonging to thest century. He gazed at her and said slowly, ¡°Since I¡¯ve called you Chuwei, you can also call me by my name.¡± Chapter 47: Hanhan, Why Is Your Train Of Thought So Complicated? Chapter 47: Hanhan, Why Is Your Train Of Thought So Complicated? Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei looked into Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes. They were brighter than the stars and she replied rather obediently. ¡°Hanhan.¡± She slightly increased her pitch at the ending syble, as if addressing a five year old little kid. Duan Feihan¡¯s handsome face stiffened that very second. Han¡­ Hanhan? An image suddenly shed past his eyes. There was someone who also called him that way when he was young. However, that happened too long ago and he had already forgotten that person¡¯s appearance. Bai Chuwei swung her hands and walked forward as she weed the spring wind. It seemed that she wanted to blend into the night. In a self-mocking tone, she said, ¡°It¡¯s unexpected right? The founder of the chinese medicine can¡¯t cure herself.¡± Ever since that man died for her sake, this illness had apanied her. Her heart would ache from time to time and she had to consume these spiritual medicines to suppress the pain. For the past five thousand years, even she did not know how much spiritual medicine she had consumed. But fortunately, she had encountered this piece of Tang monk¡¯s flesh. Even though she did not have the hobby of consuming human flesh, it was still pretty good to soak in some spiritual energy from him. Just as Bai Chuwei was in deep thought, Duan Feihan spoke up. ¡°Chuwei, what is your condition to treat my father?¡± Bai Chuwei was initially unwilling to cure that old man Duan, but she agreed because Duan Feihan had unconditionally agreed to fulfil one request of hers. When Bai Chuwei heard that, she turned around. There was a small me of excitement in her eyes. She opened her mouth and said in a crisp voice, ¡°Hug me.¡± Duan Feihan was shocked, and his usually expressionless, handsome face revealed an unusual look. Duan Feihan put his hands behind his back and took a deep breath with his eyes closed. After he steadied himself, he opened his eyes and said, ¡°Are you of age yet?¡± Bai Chuwei was somewhat confused as she could not keep up with Duan Feihan¡¯s pace of thoughts. What did this have to do with her age? ¡°Of course I¡¯m of age.¡± For goodness sake, she had already lived for five thousand years! The Adam¡¯s apple in Duan Feihan¡¯s neck bobbed up and down and he tried to remind her. ¡°Even though you¡¯re of age, you¡¯re still a high-school student. You should give priority to your studies.¡± What was that supposed to mean? Bai Chuwei became impatient. She had lived for too long and disliked being lectured by other people. She said in a casual but impatient tone, ¡°Just make a decision. Are you going to hug me, yes or no?¡± The man looked at her with a deep gaze, as if he was preparing himself mentally. After a full minute of silence, Duan Feihan lowered his eyes and reached out to pull Bai Chuwei¡¯s wrists. ¡°Get in the car.¡± Bai Chuwei was dragged into the car by him. After settling in, he started the car and drove into the inky night. When Bai Chuwei saw that the speeding car was heading towards the luxury hotels area, a red flush suddenly appeared on her beautiful face and she immediately asked him to stop. Bai Chuwei looked at Duan Feihan with aplicated expression and said in a sincere tone, ¡°Hanhan, you¡¯re only twenty-four. Why is your train of thoughts soplicated? The hug I meant was merely a hug.¡± Duan Feihan: ¡­ Bai Chuwei sighed and continued speaking. ¡°But it seems that your feelings for your father are really deep. I didn¡¯t expect you to have even thought about repaying with your¡­¡± Sounds of unbuckling could be heard and before she managed to finish her sentence, she was already in his arms. The man¡¯s strong arms went around her slender waist and the warmth from his palms could be felt through the fabric of her clothes. Duan Feihan radiated an unending stream of spiritual energy, simr to a natural reservoir. Bai Chuwei took in a deep breath and sighed. ¡°You smell so good!¡± Duan Feihan was silent for a moment before he suddenly recalled a phrase from the inte. ¡°You are such a flirt.¡± Chapter 48: Dear Ancestor, Please Don’t Smile Like That Chapter 48: Dear Ancestor, Please Don¡¯t Smile Like That Editor: Henyee Trantions Ever since the world war that happened five thousand years ago, all the spiritual energy in the world had gradually thinned out. Duan Feihan, who was a walking vault of spiritual energy, was the first and only person she had seen throughout her five thousand years of living! Bai Chuwei left Duan Feihan¡¯s embrace in content. She lifted the bag near her feet and pulled open the zipper to retrieve a bag of medicinal ingredients before passing them to him. ¡°Here you go, your father¡¯s medicinal ingredients.¡± Evidently, Bai Chuwei had tantly stolen a huge sum of money from him. As the sessor of the Duan Family, he did not flinch even once for spending three hundred million yuan nor did he reveal any traces of heartache. Duan Feihan¡¯s hands were crossed together as he calmly asked. ¡°Chuwei, what¡¯s inside your bag?¡± Bai Chuwei took out the book in response and said, ¡°It is a book called ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯. I am told that it¡¯s a must read book for the entrance examination. Duan Xingye gave it to me.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s slender and jade-like fingers suddenly stretched forward and took the book from her. He said, ¡°The contents of this book are iplete, give it to me. I¡¯ll give you theplete book tomorrow.¡± Bai Chuwei frowned. The ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯ which she casually wrote two centuries back was indeed iplete. How could he possibly get aplete version when she herself had not written it? Could it be that someone else wrote a continuation? Bai Chuwei smiled and nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± Duan Feihan drove Bai Chuwei home and behind them was a small truck that carried the medicinal ingredients which he had spent three hundred million yuan on. After reaching home, Bai Chuwei instructed the servants to deliver all the medicinal ingredients to the empty storage room in the attic. Fearing the loss of potency, the medical apprentices had tightly sealed the ingredients in sacks. Aunt Chen had been a nanny for the Bai Family for five years and was also good friends with thedy of the family. Therefore, she believed herself to be an integral part of the Bai Family. When she saw Bai Chuwei ordering the servants to carryrge bags up to the attic, she said in an eerie tone, ¡°Miss Chuwei, the Bai Family is considered to be a reputable family. Just because the old man is fond of your cabbages, please don¡¯t assume that you can bring cheap goods into the house. Don¡¯t lower the standard of the family.¡± Bai Chuwei looked at Aunt Chen with a meaningful smile, and thetter¡¯s scalp turned numb. She felt as if she had been seen through by this young girl. Bai Chuwei said with a smile, ¡°A servant should do what a servant ought to do. You are not qualified to interfere with your employer¡¯s affairs. Unless¡­ Aunt Chen, you believe yourself to be one of us, already?¡± Aunt Chen was frightened by Bai Chuwei¡¯s casual remark and dared not meet her abstruse eyes. She hastily lowered her head and apologized. Bai Chuwei chuckled lightly and went up to the attic. Ha, there was not a single one who could fight against her. ording to reason, she had lived for five thousand years and would not have bothered when facing such provocation. However, the mission provided by the faulty system was for her to p those who had bullied the original owner in their faces. So apart from the male and the female lead, there were also her foster family. Aunt Chen was a good breakthrough point for her to deal with her foster parents. The reason being that Aunt Chen had an improper rtionship with her foster father, Bai Hongguang. Her foster mother, Liu Man was a headstrong woman. She could tolerate her husband¡¯s numerous affairs outside, but the house was her territory. She would never allow another woman to act wildly in a ce where she had the control. If Liu Man were to know that her husband had had an affair with Aunt Chen in the house, there would be a great show to see¡­ Bai Chuwei revealed a meaningful smile and the white furry hamster seated on the desk suddenly shivered. ¡°Dear Ancestor, please don¡¯t smile like that. It scares me.¡± Chapter 49: Postpone The Wedding Chapter 49: Postpone The Wedding Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei restrained her smile and bunched up her hair in preparation to take a bath. In a casual voice, she asked the little hamster. ¡°Have you sent the letter to the Tong Family?¡± Snowball nodded while chewing on a biscuit. ¡°I¡¯ve sent it and followed up with a reminder letter every single day since then.¡± Bai Chuwei possessed arge amount of assets and four hundred million yuan was nothing but peanuts to her. It did not matter if she managed to recover it or not. However, she wanted the Tong Family to kneel and offer that four hundred million yuan to her. It would depend on her mood whether or not she would take it. Bai Chuwei had azy expression on her face as she said, ¡°A daily letter to remind them is good.¡± The one month¡¯s grace period was about to end and if they did not repay that debt, they shouldn¡¯t me her for her ruthlessness. * Duan Feihan drove back to the Duan Family¡¯s vi and stepped into the living room. Instantly, he discerned the strange atmosphere prevailing there. A well maintained woman in her thirties was weeping in the arms of anotherdy, while an indifferent man dressed in jeans sat opposite them. Duan Xingye quietly walked over and tugged on Duan Feihan¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Fourth Uncle, Third Uncle said that grandfather¡¯s condition isn¡¯t looking good and wishes to postpone his wedding with Auntie Tong. So the both of them had a dispute.¡± Thedy patted Tong Yunrou¡¯s back and looked at Duan Xiuqi in a wronged voice. ¡°Xiuqi, just because you said you won¡¯t go ahead with the wedding, we have to amodate you?¡± Duan Xiuqi¡¯s hand rested on his jeans as he sneered in a cold tone. ¡°How could you not know how this wedding came about?¡± Duan Xiuqi did not have any desires in his life. In the first eighteen years of his life, he had loafed about but in the following eighteen years, he restrained his selfishness to arge extent. If Tong Yunrou¡¯s father had not used his death as a threat, he would never have agreed to the marriage. The old man imed that Tong Yunrou had been devoted solely to him and waited twenty years for him. Tsk, had Duan Xiuqi said anything when he waited for that woman for twenty years? Did he ever ask for any repayment? Tong Yunrou moved away from the woman¡¯s embrace and looked at Duan Xiuqi with reddened eyes. ¡°It has already been twenty years! Bai Chu disappeared two decades ago. You still haven¡¯t let go? Saying that you¡¯re afraid that your father¡¯s condition might turn for the worse and hence it¡¯s not a good time for us to get married is just an excuse. You¡¯re clearly still pining over that woman!¡± Duan Xiuqi opened his eyes and said coldly, ¡°That is not true. Father¡¯s condition has worsened and my mobile endorsement has also been suddenly stopped. There are too many things going on right now and it would be better to postpone the wedding.¡± As for the problem about getting removed from the mobile endorsement, Duan Xiuqi was still unable to figure out the reason behind it. Just then, Duan Feihan¡¯s icy voice sounded in the room. It was simr to the cold dew in chilly weather. ¡°Father¡¯s condition will not worsen any further. You can go ahead with your wedding preparations.¡± Everyone¡¯s line of sight shifted towards Duan Feihan. His cold gaze met that of Duan Xiuqi, who held an equally chilly expression in his eyes. Duan Xingye excitedly took that pack of medicinal ingredients from Duan Feihan and ran towards the kitchen while shouting loudly. ¡°Quick, the medicine is here. Hurry and boil it for my grandfather!¡± Several traditional chinese medicine experts hade together to boil the medicine, and the bitter scent pervaded the entire hall. There were voices of old men crying out in surprise from time to time. ¡°Fulinzi and?Guisen1?used together? That¡¯s right! I recall reading in ancient texts that these two ingredients when used together are extremely nourishing for the stomach. A genius! The one who came up with this prescription is really a genius!¡± ¡°These medicinal ingredients are easily obtainable in the market and are also rather cheap. There are many ingredients that sh with each other, but surprisingly, the poisonous nature is neutralized by another medicinal ingredient and instead, produces a miraculous effect. Who was the one who came up with this prescription? What a genius!¡± Another old man¡¯s eyes had turned red and he disregarded the scorching medicinal dregs as he reached out to grab one of them. Bai Chuwei had not written a prescription but instead, given them a pre-mix pack of medicinal ingredients. Therefore, if those old men wanted to learn about the differentponents, they could only identify the ingredients through the dregs. After taking everything into ount, they reached a conclusion because of which their jaws nearly dropped on the ground. ¡°This pack of medicinal ingredients costs at most three hundred yuan.¡± It only cost three hundred to cure stomach cancer? If that were to spread, probably the entire world would be shocked! Duan Feihan nced at them and remained silent. Three hundred yuan? He had spent three hundred million. Chapter 50: There’s No Need To Delay The Wedding Chapter 50: There¡¯s No Need To Dy The Wedding Editor: Henyee Trantions After the traditional chinese medicine concoction was boiled and cooled, they lifted up old man Duan to lean against the bedrest and fed it to him. Bai Chuwei had been rather ¡®kind¡¯ to specially choose the most bitter medicine and even left a reminder that they had to feed him spoon by spoon. Even the old man Duan, who was ustomed to drinking bitter things, nearly vomited when it was fed to him. That bowl of medicine took half an hour to finish and it was bitter to the extent that his lips were trembling. Old man Duan gradually opened his turbid eyes and muttered to himself as he looked at the surrounding family members. ¡°I¡¯ve only done one bad thing in my life. This is retribution. My illness is my retribution.¡± He had been an upright man throughout his life and only did one thing that went against his principles. Twenty years ago, his eighteen year old son had fallen in love with a girl named Bai Chu and insisted on marrying her despite the family¡¯s wishes. At that time, Old man Duan also approved of Bai Chu and wanted her to be his daughter-inw. Therefore, he had indirectly given consent to Duan Xiuqi¡¯s rash behavior. Now that he thought back about it, perhaps this was payback. How could the surrounding family members care for what old man Duan was muttering? All they saw was that he had opened his eyes and was capable of speaking! He had been nearly unconscious since the moment he was diagnosed withte stage stomach cancer. This bowl of medicine was really effective! If they hadn¡¯t known that old man Duan was given medicine some time ago, they would have assumed that he was having ast sh of lucidity prior to his demise. Tong Yunrou cried out in surprise. ¡°Fourth young master, grandfather Duan will recover right? If so, then I believe there¡¯s no need to postpone my wedding with Xiuqi!¡± Duan Xiuqi¡¯s expression was rather ugly, but he did not wish for his biological father to pass away. As a result, his current emotions were veryplicated. Duan Xiuqi nced at Tong Yunrou¡¯s expectant gaze and answered absentmindedly. ¡°If my father can have aplete recovery, there¡¯s naturally no need to postpone the wedding.¡± Duan Feihan said in an indifferent tone, ¡°It¡¯s not enough to rely on medicine. From tomorrow onwards andsting for an entire week, miracle doctor Bai¡¯s disciple wille and do acupuncture for father.¡± Just the pack of medicine worth three hundred yuan was insufficient. The most important part was Bai Chuwei¡¯s Spiritual Thirteen Needles! Duan Xingye asked him curiously. ¡°Fourth Uncle, Weiwei will not being personally?¡± From the looks of it, Weiwei indeed disliked his grandfather! She had not even been willing to treat him initially. ¡°En. Here¡¯s your book.¡± Duan Feihan picked up the famous book from the table and threw it into Duan Xinggye¡¯s hand before he turned and went towards his study. Duan Feihan¡¯s study was decorated in an antique style, with bookshelves stacked against the walls. The indoor lights gave a warm tone to the entire room. The man¡¯s slender fingers glided past the books and stopped to take out a single book. Even though ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯ was regarded as the first ssic masterpiece in China, it was unfortunately an eunuch novel. Therefore, in thest century, there were some schrs who wrote the ending and caused it to be widely epted by the masses. The tenth year special edition book in Duan Feihan¡¯s hands contained the novel¡¯s continuation and this is the one he would give to Bai Chuwei when they met again. * ¡°Xiuqi, when your father recovers, we can hold our wedding. What do you think about this invitation design? I like white-colored invitations as it represents beauty and purity.¡± Tong Yunrou sat beside Duan Xiuqi and looked at the design book with a longing in her gaze. Her voice had be much softer. They managed to put old man Duan to sleep and hade out of his bedroom. Tong Yunrou did not waste a single minute and took out the design book to let Duan Xiuqi pick the invitation card pattern. It was as if she wished that they could decide on all the wedding details in a single night. When she looked at the man beside her, Tong Yunrou felt unease pass through her body. She knew that she obtained his consent to this marriage by force and somehow she kept having an ominous intuition that the woman Bai Chu might return anytime soon. Chapter 51: Snatching The Man She Fancied Chapter 51: Snatching The Man She Fancied Editor: Henyee Trantions Duan Xiuqi responded in an absentminded manner. ¡°You can decide it as you please. I still have to return to the office to settle the matter about the withdrawal of Mo Yun¡¯s endorsement. Uncle Li, please send Miss Yunrou back home.¡± Uncle Li was the Tong Family¡¯s driver. Duan Xiuqi was rather surprised that Mo Yun had withdrawn his endorsement because due to this action, Mo Yun would have topensate him under the contract. In spite of the hefty sum ofpensation, the other party was insisting on recing him as the spokesperson. What was the underlying reason behind that decision? Tong Yunrou tried her best to maintain her smile and went home with Uncle Li. Uncle Li sighed and said, ¡°Miss Yunrou, is everything that you¡¯ve done, worth it?¡± Tong Yunru replied unhesitantly. ¡°It¡¯s worth it!¡± She started liking Duan Xiuqi when she was fourteen-years-old, and continued to do so till date when she was thirty-four. She had waited for him since her marriageable age until now, where even her niece, Tong Qingyan was already at the juncture of falling in love. As long as Bai Chu did not return, she was confident of iming the position of the Duan Family¡¯s third madam! It was all because of Bai Chu that had caused Tong Yunrou to hate the surname Bai. However, she had to admit that she was thankful for ¡®Bai Chuwei¡¯ who cured old man Duan. Now, Duan Xiuqi no longer had any reason to dy the wedding. Uncle Li drove Tong Yunrou back to the vi and she stepped out of the car with her high heels. Just as she was about to enter the hall, she saw a servant walking out aggressively, holding onto a pile of letters and walking towards the rubbish chute. Tong Yunrou stopped her and asked. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The servant said in anger, ¡°Miss Yunrou, I guess you still don¡¯t know about it. Since days, someone has been sending letters for repayment! Take a look at this, they sent it again today. Miss Qingyan ordered me to throw it away.¡± A trace of irritation shed past Tong Yunrou¡¯s eyes. Who dared to rip off their Family? They were considered to be a wealthy family in Sea City and moreover, she was about to marry into the Duan Family very soon. Who dared to be so arrogant with them!? ¡°Show it to me.¡± Tong Yunrou took the letter and in an instant, her eyes shrank and turned white. She staggered and nearly fell on the ground. The repayment letter was a print out and conveniently included a reminder saying ¡¯29 days remaining¡¯ on it. There was a name signed on the lower right corner, Bai Chu. Tong Yunrou knew that there were many people with the same name, but she had seen Bai Chu¡¯s handwriting in the past and it was very unique. Therefore, she would never recognize it wrongly! It was that woman¡¯s signature for sure. Her intuition turned out to be urate. Bai Chu had indeed returned! Tong Yunrou became flustered and started trembling, holding the repayment letter in her hand. Tong Qingyan came out of the room and saw Tong Yunrou¡¯s strange expression. She said with a smile, ¡°Aunt, don¡¯t be frightened by this four hundred million im. In the past, grandmother used to transfer three million to this person on ount of their friendship. It was not an obligation. But now, she dares to chase us for payment. Does she honestly think that we are pushovers?¡± While Tong Qingyan was speaking, a shy blush appeared on her pretty face and she said in a low voice, ¡°Thewyers in the fourth young master¡¯spany are so capable. Since she dared to ckmail us, we can sue her. We won¡¯t lose.¡± Tong Yunrou¡¯s body suddenly staggered and she tightly gripped onto the repayment letter and murmured softly. ¡°In the past, mother always transferred money to an ount. So it was Bai Chu¡¯s ount?¡± When she saw her niece nod in agreement, a trace of hatred shed past Tong Qingyan¡¯s eyes. She had always heard that her mother, Chen Meihua made a fortune after she escaped from the mountains. Therefore, she would often offer grants for orphans to attend school. It turned out that her mother had been transferring a huge sum of money to support Bai Chu all this while. Despite that, Bai Chu was not grateful and repaid kindness with ingratitude by snatching the man she fancied¡­ ¡°She¡¯s a hateful b*tch!¡± Chapter 52: I’ll Find You In Your Dreams Tonight Chapter 52: I¡¯ll Find You In Your Dreams Tonight Editor: Henyee Trantions Tong Yunrou sneered. If her mother, Chen Meihua knew what was happening now, would she regret having sponsored Bai Chu at that time? Uncle Li had parked the car and coincidentally overheard Tong Yunrou and Tong Qingyan¡¯s conversation when he entered the gate. He could not help but frown as he said, ¡°Miss Yunrou, , when the old madam was alive, I heard that she used to transfer money to Miss Bai Chu not because she had sponsored her. I believe it was to thank her!¡± Tong Yunrou was overtaken by anger and she sneered before speaking to him in a mocking tone. ¡°Before my mother passed away, she was a powerful woman in Sea City. Why would she need to show gratitude towards an orphaned child? Uncle Li, you¡¯re just a driver. Who allowed you toment on our internal matters? Get out.¡± Other than sponsoring her as an orphan, Tong Yunrou could not think of any other reasons for her mother to transfer money every single year to that woman! A flush of embarrassment spread on Uncle Li¡¯s face and he left without saying anything further. Tong Qingyan covered her lips in astonishment and looked at her aunt. ¡°Could it be that this Bai Chu is the woman who snatched Uncle Xiuqi from you?¡± Tong Qingyan was only eighteen years old and vaguely knew about her aunt loving the Duan Family¡¯s third young master. She was not aware of the full story. Tong Yunrou had aplicated expression on her face and she said in a solemn tone, ¡°Qingyan, don¡¯t mention this to anyone. This has to remain a secret between us.¡± Tong Yunrou shivered in trepidation. If Duan Xiuqi got to know that Bai Chu had returned, then it would be useless even if her father used his death as a threat! Tong Yunrou looked at the repayment letter and chuckled in disdain. From the looks of it, Bai Chu was not having a good life and hence had be thick-skinned enough to ask the Tong Family to give her money. Tong Yunrou went looking for the courier¡¯s delivery bill. Couriers nowadays were all registered with the sender¡¯s real name. Perhaps she could find some leads from there. Tong Qingyan stood at the entrance and the shadow of her pretty figure was elongated under the indoor light¡¯s reflection. She suddenly wondered that there were too many people with the surname Bai these days! * After Bai Chuwei came out from the bath, she went to walk around the storeroom on the third floor. When she smelled the spiritual aura radiating from those piles of ingredients, she sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s really a rxing scent.¡± Snowball, who had climbed up her shoulder squeaked. ¡°It¡¯s the smell of money.¡± It was worth three hundred million yuan for goodness sake! When Bai Chuwei recalled Duan Feihan¡¯s generosity, she revealed a gentle smile. ¡°Since you¡¯re so handsome and generous, I will definitely cure your father.¡± Immediately after, Bai Chuwei returned to her room and turned off the lights. When Snowball saw Bai Chuwei closing her eyes, he was so surprised as if he had found a new continent. ¡°Dear Ancestor, you¡¯re sleeping!?¡± Snowball believed that the most useless thing in this attic was the bed. It had to be known that Bai Chuwei had lived for five thousand years, and with the exception of sprouting wings and ascending to the heavens, there was basically no difference between her and a celestial being. Otherwise, she would not have casually given him wisdom just to relieve her boredom. Sleep? Only normal humans needed to sleep. It did not matter if Bai Chuwei slept or not. Thest time she slept was probably four to five decades ago. Bai Chuweizily responded. ¡°En, I¡¯m going to find Liu Zhen.¡± The pack of medicine which she passed to Duan Feihan was insufficient to cure old man Duan¡¯s stomach cancer. The illness required the usage of both the Spiritual Thirteen Needles and the medicine for him to be cured. However, she honestly did not wish to step into the Duan Family and therefore, she could only look at the next best option, which was to send an apprentice to carry out the acupuncture. Even though Liu Zhen was not good enough as per her standard, he was considered a master in the world of ordinary people. Under the circumstances, it was best for him to do this. Before they left the medicine hall, she had left a word with the still trembling Liu Zhen. ¡°I¡¯ll find you in your dreams tonight.¡± The art of entering dreams was very simple and it posed no challenge for her. However, Liu Zhen did not seem to be sleeping at this moment. After she waited for a minute, she became impatient. Her slender fingers touched her chin and a trace of interest shed in her beautiful eyes. Should she go take a look inside Duan Feihan¡¯s dreams to see what he was dreaming about? Chapter 53: Duan Feihan’s Nightmare Chapter 53: Duan Feihan¡¯s Nightmare Editor: Henyee Trantions For a long period of time after that person who died to save her, Bai Chuwei would have nightmares every single night when she slept. Her pillow would always be drenched in tears the moment she opened her eyes. Therefore, Bai Chuwei simply did not sleep after that. Not sleeping made no difference to her. But Bai Chuwei was always interested in other people¡¯s dreams. She used to wander in Snowball¡¯s dreams earlier, but that fat hamster only indulged in eating delicacies even in his dreams. She could always enter dreams unimpeded, but for some reason, she was blocked by Duan Feihan¡¯s mind. However, that only further aroused her interest and she was more determined to take a walk into his dreams tonight. Normally, Duan Feihan had an extremely busy schedule and post that, he took care of his seriously ill father when he returned from work. As a result, he usually sleptte at night. Now that old man Duan had recovered slightly after eating the medicine, Duan Feihan returned to his room early to rest. Bai Chuwei had spent a great deal of effort to enter Duan Feihan¡¯s dream tonight. Inside his dream, the skies were grey and a cold wind was blowing. Only a beautiful vi could be seen and when Bai Chuwei entered the hall, she saw a delicate little boy dressed in a child-sized suit. There was a serious expression on his immature-looking face as he yed Sudoku. Bai Chuwei had seen the four-year-old Duan Feihan in the past, and she had to say that the mini version of him was really cute. As it turned out, he still had his childlike innocence. To think that he was dreaming of ying games as a child? ¡°Hanhan¡ªHanhan¡ª¡± There was a woman calling his name from the second floor. When the cute little kid heard someone calling for him, his face which hadcked vigor till now, revealed a tiny smile. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ming.¡± The young Duan Feihan put down the game and walked towards the second floor, not seeing Bai Chuwei who stood there. Bai Chuwei slowly recalled the details of the original novel. As the ultimate boss in thetter part of the novel, there was a description about his nightmare where his mother died when he was a child. Tsk. When someone had such a recurring nightmare every night, how could they possibly not be twisted when they grew up? Bai Chuwei suddenly forgot that she came here to be an on-looker and she chased him to the second floor immediately. When she arrived there, she saw a beautiful woman standing at the balcony with a warm smile. All of a sudden, she fell down from the balcony. The young Duan Feihan stiffened and his blood ran cold, as if he had been struck with a petrification curse. Suddenly, he entered a warm embrace which had a faint medicinal fragrance. A pair of beautiful hands lightly covered his eyes. The four-year-old Duan Feihan¡¯s long eyshes fluttered with unease. It was like a little brush tickling Bai Chuwei¡¯s palms. Bai Chuwei¡¯s voice was extremely gentle as she said, ¡°Hanhan, this is just a dream. Hurry and wake up.¡± She knew the feeling of having nightmares. Scenes which a person wanted to forget would repeatedly appear before their eyes. It was simr to a knife that continuously stabbed into their wounds! The room was extremely quiet and all of a sudden, the handsome man lying on the bed opened his eyes. His slender fingers pressed on his forehead and cold sweat trickled down his body. Duan Feihan gasped and turned on the bedsidemp while he sat up. Dark blue pajamas loosely hung on his body, revealing his sweaty corbone. He lowered his head and fell into deep thoughts. He had seen the same dream again. He dreamt about the horrible sight where his mother fell to her death when he was a child. This nightmare had apanied him for nearly two decades now and every single time, it would make him feel powerless and heartbroken. However, there was something different this time round. Someone new had appeared. Bai Chuwei came in his dream and hugged him. The overwhelming feeling of despair was reced by warmth that seemed to have saved his whole world. Chapter 54: Dreaming Of What You Think During The Day Chapter 54: Dreaming Of What You Think During The Day Editor: Henyee Trantions Duan Feihan rubbed his eyes which held aplicated expression in them. ¡°Why did I dream of¡­ Bai Chuwei?¡± He moved his hand up to rub his brows and then got up to pour himself a ss of iced water. The iced water flowed down his throat andpletely extinguished the anxiety caused by the nightmare. However, he was wide awake now. He put down the cup and walked to the window with his phone in hand. His pitch-ck eyes had recovered their usual coldness and were staring at the night scene as he made a call. The call was connected very soon. ¡°Fourth young master, since you¡¯re calling me sote at night, you¡¯ve had a nightmare again. Shall Ie over immediately?¡± The other person on the line was Ji Shuo, Duan Feihan¡¯s personal psychiatrist. He would often receive calls from Duan Feihan in the middle of the night. The recurring nightmares were mainly the reason for these calls. Duan Feihan was the first obstacle in his career. He had tried numerous methods to help him, but all of them yielded no results. ¡°Don¡¯te here, I¡¯m fine.¡± Duan Feihan calmly said. When Ji Shuo heard that, he was relieved. However, he became curious the next second. ¡°Then why did you call me?¡± A trace of confusion appeared on Duan Feihan¡¯s calm face. He hesitated for a moment before he said, ¡°I dreamt of a girl hugging me.¡± Ji Shuo took a long time before he reacted. The fourth young master had called him in the middle of the night for him to interpret his dream for him? He was not a dream interpreter for goodness sake! But then he recalled that he was receiving a huge fat cheque from this person. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°You should¡¯ve heard of the saying that what you think about in the day would result in what you dream of at night. It¡¯s likely that the dream reflected your underlying thoughts.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s icy voice replied back to him. ¡°Doctor Ji. I feel that you wish to receive yourst paycheck from me.¡± Ji Shuo: ? Soon after, the call was disconnected. Could he possibly haveplicated thoughts about his nephew¡¯s female ssmate in his subconscious mind? * Since Duan Feihan had woken up, his dream naturally would not exist anymore. After Bai Chuwei finished visiting the future viin¡¯s nightmare, Liu Zhen finally went to sleep. On usual asions, everyone amodated his whims and those from the medical field respectfully addressed him as Master Liu. However, the moment he saw Bai Chuwei, his tears were about to start flowing. This ancestor¡¯s temper was really unpredictable. She had clearly mentioned that she would not let his deceased teacher visit him in his dream anymore. But in the end, she came herself! Liu Zhen nced at Bai Chuwei and immediately knelt before her and cried. ¡°Dear Ancestor, this old man has really understood his mistakes!¡± Bai Chuwei shot him a nce andzily said, ¡°I¡¯ve cultivated for thousands of years and I¡¯m not fond of killing. I¡¯m also not interested in your petty life.¡± Thousands of years¡­ Liu Zhen really wished that he could give himself a tight p. To think he had provoked an ancestor! After which, he nervously asked about Bai Chuwei¡¯s intentions. ¡°I¡¯ll impart one of the Spiritual Thirteen Needle techniques to you, and you shall treat that old man Duan. Remember to be ruthless when you insert the needles.¡± Liu Zhen was shocked, and moisture immediately flooded his eyes, resulting in tears and snot mixing together on his face. He had lived the past century in vain! He unfairly judged a noble person with his despicable mind, and thought that the ancestor came to teach him a lesson. But it turned out that she came here to impart medical skills to him! The Spiritual Thirteen Needles¡­ it was a skill that many were unable to learn even if they begged for it. However, the ancestor was unexpectedly willing to impart the skill to him. ¡°Your disciple here epts yourmand and will definitely study hard.¡± As Liu Zhen was rather old, there were many apprentices in the medicine hall who stayed with him. In the middle of the night, those apprentices woke up due to Liu Zhen¡¯s movements. They came to his room and saw him crying, smiling, and drooling¡­ Chapter 55: She Was With Me Last Night Chapter 55: She Was With Me Last Night Editor: Henyee Trantions Liu Zhen¡¯s dreamsted for an entire night. Bai Chuwei had to wake up in the morning for school, causing Liu Zhen to also reluctantly wake up from his dream. After he woke up, he looked at the inch long silver needles in his acupuncture bag andughed for no reason. Bai Chuwei handed him the task of being heavy handed on old man Duan while inserting the acupuncture needles, and he had to follow her wishes. Bai Chuwei followed the normal routine and attended school, but before she had the chance to start the morning self-revision, a subject representative informed her to head to the teacher¡¯s office. When she walked into the Year 3 teacher¡¯s office, Teacher Huang smiled at her kindly. Because of that small bottle of medicine from her, Teacher Huang¡¯s stomach felt much better already. Therefore, she was rather happy when she saw Bai Chuwei. Thenguage teacher, Li Juan had called Bai Chuwei and she looked at her with a stern expression. When the ss 9 full of smart students was handed to her, it was equivalent to a delicious pastry being directly fed into her mouth. It had to be known that the school would hand out arge mary reward to the teacher for every single student who managed to enter a famous school. However, this Bai Chuwei suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She was a terrible student who would surely lower the ss average! Li Juan coldly gazed at Bai Chuwei and just as she said the first word, ¡°You¡­¡± An extremely loud fart exploded in the room, and the entire office was enveloped in silence for a moment as all of them tried to hold back theirughter. Li Juan immediately turned red and when she saw Bai Chuwei smile, her anger intensified. Ever since she ate those medicinal pills of Teacher Huang¡¯s, she had been feeling ufortable and even vomited on the way to school today! To make the matters worse, she had even released a loud fart. This simply caused her to lose any remaining face she had. Li Juan forcefully endured her embarrassment and questioned the student. ¡°Bai Chuwei, I can forget about the fact that you skipped yesterday¡¯s self-revision lesson, but why didn¡¯t you hand in your homework today?¡± Bai Chuwei leveled an odd gaze at her. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it, so obviously I didn¡¯t hand it in.¡± Li Juan nearly spat out blood in anger. ¡°Why didn¡¯t youplete your homework?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t feel like doing homework.¡± If not for the novel¡¯s plot, she would not have even cared to attend school. Just as Bai Chuwei said that, a graceful figure entered the room. She ced a pile of exercise books on the desk and gave a sweet smile. ¡°Teacher Li, this is ss 11¡¯snguage homework. Everyone has handed in their work.¡± Tong Qingyan looked at Bai Chuwei and smiled as she asked. ¡°Student Bai, could it be that you didn¡¯tplete the homework because you¡¯ve transferred here recently and have yet to adapt? Maybe you didn¡¯t know how to do the questions?¡± Bai Chuwei revealed azy expression as she discerned that the female lead seemed to have a trace of hostility against her already. Her red lips curled up and she said in an indifferent tone, ¡°Student Tong¡¯s listening skills seem to becking. I clearly said that I didn¡¯t feel like doing the homework.¡± Tong Qingyan¡¯s smile stiffened. She did not expect Bai Chuwei to be so blunt. When Li Juan saw this ignorant and ipetent garbage student refuting her beloved student, she burned with mes of fury. Li Juan heavily mmed the table and her expression turned colder. ¡°Bai Chuwei, did you y games and watch dramas instead ofpleting your homework? Do you think you are Tong Qingyan? Even though she dabbles in live broadcast and video editing, she can make it into the top ten. Can you?¡± Bai Chuwei gently stroked her nose and said, ¡°If I wish to, I can.¡± The main point was, she did not wish to do so. She wanted to be a loafer and did not intend to study. Li Juan was angered by Bai Chuwei¡¯s words of indifference to the extent that her hair stood up in anger. She then sternly asked her. ¡°What did you dost evening!? If you cannot give a proper reason, you shall write a three thousand word reflection essay!¡± Just as she said that, a male deep voice simr to a harp sounded from behind. ¡°She was with me yesterday.¡± Chapter 56: Others Can’t, But I Can Chapter 56: Others Can¡¯t, But I Can Editor: Henyee Trantions Everyone turned their gazes to the door and the man dressed in a suit shocked Teacher Li to the extent that she stood up. ¡°President¡­ President Duan?¡± All the teachers in the room gasped when they looked at the young man. Their gazes were filled with awe. Who in Sea City would not know of the Duan Family¡¯s fourth young master? He was the real wielder of power in the entire city! Duan Feihan walked in and looked at the stunned Li Juan. He repeated himself. ¡°Student Bai had an appointment with mest evening. I¡¯d have to ask of you not to punish her.¡± Even though he was a young master from a powerful family, his words did not appear domineering, instead, they sounded gentlemanly. However, his tone also carried invisible traces of coercion. Li Juan¡¯s mind turned nk and her ears started to buzz. When Li Juan got to know that Bai Chuwei was personally squeezed in through underhanded means by the Bai Family¡¯s head, she had not ced much importance on it. However, this was the Duan Family! The Duan Family¡¯s fourth young master had personally made a trip on her behalf. How could Li Juan dare to show her previous arrogance? Her expression was immediately reced with a ttering smile. ¡°How can I possibly punish Student Bai? I was just joking.¡± ¡°Are you done? If yes, I¡¯ll be going back then.¡± Bai Chuwei nced at Duan Feihan with interest before walking out of the office. Tong Qingyan looked at Duan Feihan who turned around quickly and caught up to Bai Chuwei. It was as if he did not see her standing in front of him. She had been acquainted with Duan Feihan for much longer than Bai Chuwei, but¡­ Unease surged up like a torrent and nearly drowned Tong Qingyan. * Bai Chuwei looked at the man by her side and asked him curiously. ¡°Hanhan, why did youe to my school?¡± When Duan Feihan heard her nickname for him, his forehead involuntarily twitched. He lowered his gaze and straightened the cufflinks on his sleeves before saying calmly, ¡°On the way to the office, I passed by your school. So I came to deliver this to you.¡± Duan Feihan took out a hardcover copy of ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯ from his ck briefcase and passed it to Bai Chuwei. ¡°This is thepleted version.¡± Bai Chuwei reached out to take the book and expressed her thanks. Just from the cover of the book, she knew that it was much better than the book Duan Xingye gave her. The thought that he specially came to help her out coupled with his nightmare yesterday, softened her usual stony heart and she smiled at him. ¡°Hanhan, you don¡¯t have to worry about it. I didn¡¯te here to study¡­¡± He suddenly cut her off and couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°You came here for guys?¡± Bai Chuwei stared nkly for a moment before she nodded with a smile. ¡°You can say that.¡± It was because of Xu Xingchen, Tong Qingyan, and to go through the original plot. Bai Chuwei saw Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes gradually darkening, as if a thunderstorm was about to happen. Duan Feihan¡¯s maic voice suddenly talked in a righteous tone. ¡°You¡¯re still a high school student and your main priority should be to study. You should not be distracted because of rtionships¡­¡± Bai Chuwei raised her brows andzily interrupted him. ¡°Then why did you try and take me to a hotel room yesterday?¡± She obviously knew that it was because of his impure thoughts that caused him to misunderstand the meaning behind the hug which she had asked for. Duan Feihan: ¡­ Bai Chuwei saw the man maintaining his usual expression, but the tip of his ears had turned red. A teasing smile curled on her lips. It was a bad hobby of hers to tease others. Duan Feihan caught her sly smile. She was simr to a little cat, sparring with him using her wit and courage. He calmly responded in an increasingly low and maic voice. ¡°Others can¡¯t, but I can.¡± Bai Chuwei was momentarily shocked and she felt that she had been teased, instead. The man recovered his usual expression and walked her towards ss 9. ¡°You are very smart. I hope that you can be serious about your future and prepare well for your college examinations.¡± Duan Feihan walked her to the ssroom¡¯s entrance and nced at Duan Xingye who was reciting English sentences with sincerity. He looked at her and said, ¡°Duan Xingye disliked studying in the past. But he¡¯s working hard preparing for the college entrance examinations now.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s crisp sounding voice suddenly asked him in return. ¡°But what if he dies?¡± Chapter 57: Changing Occupation To Become A Psychic? Chapter 57: Changing upation To Be A Psychic? Editor: Henyee Trantions Duan Xingye had fooled around in his first two years and it was only in Year 3 when he began to study hard. In order to prepare for the college entrance examinations, he had even given up his favourite basketball. Duan Feihan¡¯s ck eyes chilled as he stared at Bai Chuwei. ¡°If he were to die, I will not forgive the one who caused his death.¡± Bai Chuwei was shocked. One of the main reasons why Duan Feihan had be a viin in thetter part of the story was because he got to know the real reason behind Duan Xingye¡¯s death! When Duan Feihan saw Bai Chuwei¡¯s shocked expression, he was slightly vexed at himself for scaring a youngdy. He then contained his cold expression and extended his hand. He hesitated for a few seconds before gently patting her head and said in a mellow voice, ¡°Study hard. Don¡¯t be distracted by men and rtionships. In the future¡­ there are better men outside the school.¡± Duan Feihan took back his hand and stuffed the palm, that still carried traces of warmth from Bai Chuwei¡¯s head, into his pocket before he turned to leave. Bai Chuwei touched her head and did not know whether tough or to cry. Dear Mr. Future viin! She had no intentions to fall in love!! When Bai Chuwei walked into the ssroom with the hardcover copy of ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯, Duan Xingye still had his head buried into the english text book. In the original novel, the cannon fodder, Duan Xingye had been a dissolute. His father was Duan Feihan¡¯s older brother and he was extremely disappointed with his son. Therefore, he had ced all his hopes onto his illegitimate son, Xu Xingchen. In order to prove himself to his father, Duan Xingye had been working hard in his studies for the past year. However, who would have expected him to die before he got the chance to prove himself? As a result, Xu Xingchen was sessfully brought into the Duan Family without any obstacles. With the Spiritual Thirteen Needles technique which she taught Liu Zhen yesterday, old man Duan only needed one week to recover! Based on the original novel¡¯s progression, after old man Duan recovered, Duan Xingye would die soon after. Bai Chuwei touched her jaw and looked at the smiling Xu Xingchen who was currently walking over. She suddenly had a thought. If Duan Xingye did not die, how would the illegitimate son enter the Duan Family? With the english textbook in hand, Duan Xingye rushed towards Xu Xingchen who was on his way to throw rubbish and said, ¡°Xingchen, can I go to your house this weekend? I have several difficult math questions that I still can¡¯t solve.¡± Like a good-natured friend, Xu Xingchen nodded. ¡°Sure.¡± Duan Xingchen returned to his seat after that. Before he had the time to rejoice though, he suddenly heard a chilly voice from the side. ¡°If you do not wish to die, you had better stay away from Xu Xingchen.¡± Duan Xingye was stunned and he looked at Bai Chuwei. However, her gaze was immersed downwards as she read through the ¡®Memory of the Mountain Moonlight¡¯. Tsk. How did her eunuch novel suddenly improve so much? Unexpectedly, there was someone in this world that could write a continuation of her novel? Before she had the chance to flip the page, Duan Xingye grabbed and shook her arm. ¡°Weiwei, what did you say? Die? I¡¯m going to die?¡± The more he thought about it, the more frightened he was and he said incoherently, ¡°Could it be that you¡¯ve identified that I¡¯m sick? Could it be that I also have stomach cancer? Or lung cancer? Or is it leukemia? But I¡¯ve always been in good health!¡± Bai Chuwei was about to turn dizzy from all the shaking and she pped his hand away in disdain. She then looked at Duan Xingye¡¯s tensed up handsome face and said in a mysterious tone, ¡°Your be is dark and your face is covered with dark clouds. A bloody disaster will befall you soon.¡± Duan Xingye: ??? Bloody disaster? Was Bai Chuwei¡­ a psychic? She was doing fine as a miracle doctor. Then why did she suddenly change upation and be a psychic? Chapter 58: Management Bureau For The Unnatural Chapter 58: Management Bureau For The Unnatural Editor: Henyee Trantions Duan Xingye put down his textbook, looked at Bai Chuwei and said in all seriousness, ¡°Weiwei, we are a scientific society and are no longer living in the feudal era where superstition ran rampant. Repeat after me. Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality¡­¡± Bai Chuwei looked at Duan Xingye¡¯s gaze that radiated righteousness and said, ¡°I¡¯ve lived for five thousand years. I used to cultivate in the past.¡± Duan Xingye saw Bai Chuwei¡¯s rather serious expression and he sighed. Weiwei was good in every aspect, with the exception that her eighth-grader syndrome was too severe. He believed that she was a miracle doctor, but when she said that she was an ancestor that had lived for five thousand years¡­ it would be better for her to wash up and have a good night¡¯s sleep. Duan Xingye answered her seriously. ¡°Weiwei, colleague entrance examinations are approaching. Stop reading those novels and memorize more words instead.¡± Bai Chuwei saw Duan Xingye¡¯s distrusting expression and crossed her fingers while deliberately revealing a smile. ¡°You don¡¯t believe me? Even though spiritual energy has declined, there are still cultivators around. Do you know there¡¯s a special department in China called the Management Bureau for the Unnatural?¡± Duan Xingye looked at Bai Chuwei with aplicated expression on his face. He did not expect her to be so superstitious at such a young age. He wondered if it was because of the pressure of the approaching college entrance examinations. In the original novel, Duan Xingye¡¯s death was described as an ident caused by mental illness. However, she was someone who was well versed in medicine. If Duan Xingye had been mentally ill, how could she not have noticed it? Even though Duan Xingye was not well liked by Duan Feihan¡¯s big brother, he was still part of the Duan Family. Therefore how could they not investigate his sudden death? With the amount of attention Duan Feihan paid to this nephew of his, how could he not thoroughly probe into it? So what did that mean? Bai Chuwei guessed that Duan Xingye¡¯s death was definitely unnatural! Therefore, it was useless even if Duan Feihan would want to investigate. Because, it was impossible for him to find out anything. As a result, Duan Xingye would die in vain and make way for the male lead, Xu Xingchen. Bai Chuwei originally wanted to caution him, but from the looks of it, this little brat did not believe in cultivators in the slightest! Just as Bai Chuwei was disappointed at Duan Xingye for failing to meet her expectations, a soft and weak voice carefully sounded from the side. ¡°I-I, I believe you.¡± Bai Chuwei was shocked. Someone believed her? Both of them turned their heads at the same time. There was a girl dressed in the standard school uniform. She was not considered tall, and a rounded face together with her delicate facial features made her look adorable. She also had shoulder length hair and airy bangs. There were several books in her embrace and her timid darting eyes made her appear like a deer that was looking for food. She was very cute, and such a lovely and soft-looking girl was capable of arousing a man¡¯s desire to protect her. Bai Chuwei had met all kinds of people over the five thousands years and was rather urate at reading people. At the very first nce, she noticed that the girl had clear eyes and did not harbor any bad intentions. Duan Xingye clicked his tongue, leaned against the chair and asked her offhandedly. ¡°Another one? So do you believe in tarot cards or eight characters?¡± The girl was frightened by Duan Xingye and hugged her books tighter. Her voice had also softened. ¡°I-I believe in Student Bai Chuwei.¡± Duan Xingye: !!! What the f*ck! He did not expect Bai Chuwei¡¯s trick to work. It improved other people¡¯s impression of her! Bai Chuwei curled her lips and said in a confident tone, ¡°I believe you¡¯re a student of ss 11?¡± The girl became excited. ¡°Student Bai, you remember me? I¡¯m Su Ruan from ss 11.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s tongue gently pressed against her upper gum. As expected, she was simr to her name, gentle andsoft.1 Bai Chuwei¡¯s slender fingers flipped her hair and her gaze sized up the female student before she said with a smile, ¡°You came to see me for your illness?¡± Chapter 59: Menstrual Cramps Chapter 59: Menstrual Cramps Editor: Henyee Trantions Bai Chuwei¡¯s medical abilities were already widespread in the school and she was being praised to an unbelievable extent. As she had cured Teacher Zhou, there were some who said that she was well versed in medical skills. However, the students led by Bai Yinyin sneered at the news and imed it to be absolute rubbish. Even so, Su Ruan firmly believed that Student Bai Chuwei was a miracle doctor. Deng Manli and her gang were usually extremely high-profile in ss but they had been rather obedient these days. Moreover, they never said a word against Bai Chuwei. Su Ruan looked at Bai Chuwei in admiration. She had not mentioned anything and Bai Chuwei already knew! Before Su Ruan had the chance to speak, a sarcasticughter could be heard. ¡°It was a fluke that you said Teacher Zhou is sick. Do you honestly believe you are a miracle doctor? Do you think medicine is that easy to know and understand? It requires at least a decade to be a doctor!¡± Gao Qiaoqiao walked over with an unfriendly look. Perhaps it was due to mutual repulsion of the same gender, there were many female students who harbored hostile feelings towards Bai Chuwei ever since she had transferred over. The ss belle, Gao Qiaoqiao, was no different. Majority of the male students¡¯ eyes had been diverted towards Bai Chuwei. One of the guys whom she was ying with recently, had been rather passive towards her. Instead, he secretly bought water for Bai Chuwei! Bai Chuwei shot a sideways nce and said, ¡°If you have the spare time to talk to me, I¡¯d advise you to do an orthopedic check up.¡± Gao Qiaoqiao¡¯s expression changed and she subconsciously touched her left shoulder. Su Ruan became even more excited and pulled a chair to sit in front of Bai Chuwei. Before she said anything, Bai Chuwei smiled. ¡°You have severe menstrual cramps, am I right?¡± All the surrounding female students were in a state ofmotion. Their eyes looked shocked as they began to whisper back and forth amongst each other. Gao Qiaoqiao sneered. ¡°So what? Majority of the girls here have that problem. How can that be counted as part of medical skills? If that¡¯s the case, I am capable of saying that too!¡± The surrounding female students echoed in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s right. Su Ruan fainted during the previous exam and was carried out.¡± In ss 11, Su Ruan¡¯s grades were on par with Tong Qingyan. However, Su Ruan fainted in the previous exam, and was marked as absent. As a result, Tong Qingyan had sessfully taken the first position in ss 11. Most of the people in their year knew about this incident. Bai Chuwei was toozy to respond to Gao Qiaoqiao and she looked at Su Ruan with a smile. ¡°But your symptoms are generally more severe than other girls. There¡¯s not much relief even if you eat medicine for regting your menstrual cramps.¡± Su Ruan¡¯s gaze had moved from admiration to worship now, and her small head nodded like a baby chick pecking on rice grains. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s fingers gently pressed on her wrist and she felt her pulse. ¡°Severe menstrual cramps can lead to infertility. Even if you do get pregnant in the future, it would be an ectopic pregnancy.¡± Su Ruan¡¯splexion paled. She was only afraid that she would suffer from menstrual cramps during the college entrance examination. She did not expect it to be so severe! ¡°Then, then what should I do?¡± Su Ruan was only an eighteen year old. The moment she heard that she might be infertile, she panicked. Duan Xingye, who had been surrounded by the girls, found it awkward to hear them discuss their menstrual problems. Just as he was hesitating if he should go out of the ssroom to continue with his memorizing, he suddenly saw Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curl up and reveal a smile. It seemed as if a big gray wolf was about to devour a littlemb. Duan Xingye shivered and felt that Bai Chuwei was about to stir things up again. Bai Chuwei looked at Su Ruan with a smile and asked her. ¡°I heard that your grades are pretty good?¡± Su Ruan was confused and she foolishly nodded. ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s not bad. I¡¯m ranked in the top ten in the grade.¡± Bai Chuwei pped her hands in satisfaction and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll treat your problem in exchange that you write my homework daily.¡± Chapter 60: Paralyzed By Acupuncture Chapter 60: Paralyzed By Acupuncture Editor: Henyee Trantions Everyone: ??? What the f*ck? Bai Chuwei¡¯s motive was to¡­ find someone to write her homework? It was almost time for the college entrance examinations and yet, she was unwilling toplete her homework? Even though Su Ruan was from ss 11, most of their homework consisted of simted exam papers or past year exam papers. Therefore, their homework was not much different from one another. Su Ruan picked up Bai Chuwei¡¯s exercise book and peeked at her handwriting. A trace of surprise shed through her eyes and she said in embarrassment, ¡°Student Bai, your handwriting is really beautiful. Even though I¡¯m willing to help, I can¡¯t copy your handwriting.¡± Su Ruan was honestly in awe of Bai Chuwei¡¯s handwriting. Even though she had not learned calligraphy, it was impossible to have such handwriting without decades of background in calligraphy. Moreover, her font style was free and unrestrained, and was very unique, as if she had created her own writing style. She could imitate ordinary handwriting, but it was impossible for her to imitate Bai Chuwei¡¯s handwriting. Bai Chuwei furrowed her brows and fell into deep thought for a moment. ¡°Forget it, you can just pass your homework to me.¡± She would simply give wisdom to several little paper figures to imitate her handwriting and do the work. She was really disinterested in homework. She was not considered uneducated as she had previously taken on the position of an Empress and left a good name behind for herself. It was simply because she didn¡¯t feel like doing it. For things that she did not wish to do, no one could force her to change her mind. Su Ruan nodded in a daze and responded. ¡°Oh¡­ alright then.¡± Bai Chuwei stood up and started to walk. All of a sudden, she stopped and turned to look at Su Ruan with her brows raised. ¡°Why are you still sitting there? Follow me to the girls toilet. I¡¯ll give you acupuncture.¡± What the f*ck! The group of female students were very excited. Did this mean Bai Chuwei was really going to disy her skills? They forgot all about their studies and followed the girls. Duan Xingye was in an awkward position. He also wanted to watch it, but he couldn¡¯t possibly break into the girls toilet! Thismotion spread like a wildfire and instantly, most of the Year 3 students knew that Bai Chuwei was about to use acupuncture on Su Ruan! In a short moment, the third floor¡¯s girls toilet was surrounded by a crowd. Gao Qiaoqiao was one of them who stood in the crowd. She furrowed her brows and said, ¡°Su Ruan, I know you¡¯ve already fainted on several asions during examinations, but you¡¯d better not try anything when in a desperate situation. She would not be in trouble even if she were to harm you.¡± Some of the female students nodded in agreement. ¡°Su Ruan, you should reconsider. I heard that there are scammers who gave acupuncture that caused people to be paralyzed!¡± When Bai Chuwei took out her acupuncture bag, rows of inch long shining silver needles were revealed. It frightened them to the extent that theirplexions turned pale. Bai Chuwei selected the thickest needles and said with indifference, ¡°Lift up your clothes and show me your abdomen.¡± When Su Ruan thought about the fact that numerous visits to doctors had yielded no results, she gritted her teeth and lifted her shirt. Bai Chuwei¡¯s jade-like fingers swiped past the acupuncture bag, picked up a silver needle and directly inserted it into her abdomen. Su Ruan¡¯s legs went soft and she fell to the ground. The female students screamed in shock. There were some who were in a hurry to call a teacher, and some wanted to call the police. Gao Qiaoqiao also shouted. ¡°Something went wrong. Quick, get the doctor from the clinic!¡± All the female students took a step back in fright. Their expressions were filled with horror. What the f*ck! Could it be that Su Ruan was really paralyzed? Bai Chuweizily pulled out the needle and wiped it clean before keeping it back into the acupuncture bag. After that, she leisurely walked out. The group of female students led by Gao Qiaoqiao was extremely furious and stopped Bai Chuwei. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong with Su Ruan and you still dare to run?¡± ¡°Quick, stop her!¡± Suddenly, a voice containing surprise and disbelief arose from behind. ¡°Wait a minute. My¡­ my abdomen doesn¡¯t feel cold anymore.¡± All the female students standing there were stunned! Chapter 61 - 061 Bai Chuwei is Surrounded by Girls Chapter 61: Chapter 061 Bai Chuwei is Surrounded by Girls All girls know that women with cold wombs, even in the middle of summer, have an icy abdomen, and sometimes their hands and feet are cold too. She just got an acupuncture treatment without even having any medicine, and now she¡¯s not cold? Isn¡¯t that a bit too mystical? A girl with a good rtionship with Su Ruan stepped forward without hesitation and touched Su Ruan¡¯s abdomen, saying with some surprise, ¡°It really is warm, not cold anymore.¡± ¡°Really? Let me feel it too!¡± ¡°I want to feel it too! It¡¯s really not cold, oh my god, does Bai Chuwei really know medicine? She¡¯s more amazing than several old Chinese doctors I¡¯ve seen!¡± With her face flushed red, Su Ruan looked at the eager girls and quickly guarded herself, whispering, ¡°It¡¯s true, I feel warm.¡± Only a girl who has been a girl knows how terrible menstrual cramps are, and it¡¯s definitely not something that can be resolved with a simple ¡°drink more hot water¡± as boys might say. How many girls suffer in agony on their beds, sometimes even fainting? A stream of excited gazes turned straight to Bai Chuwei, and the next moment, she was surrounded by a group of delicate and soft girls. ¡°Bai Chuwei, could you please give me a few acupuncture treatments too? I also suffer from painful periods.¡± ¡°Bai, I have thetest designer watch that my brother brought back from overseas. It suits your temperament so well, I¡¯ll give it to you if you could give me a few acupuncture treatments, okay?¡± ¡°Chuwei darling, can you treat stomach pain? When our girls¡¯ group has a get-together next time, we¡¯ll invite you.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Boys passing by the girls¡¯ restroom were stunned. Holy shit¡ª¡ª!!! All they had heard about was ¡°like repels like¡±! Henghua First Middle School is a prestigious institution, where girlspete not only in their studies but also oftenpare their backgrounds and beauty. Even someone as perfect as the campus goddess Tong Qingyan had girls who didn¡¯t like her behind her back, and there were plenty of them! They swore, not even Tong Qingyan had ever been so adored and loved by so many girls. A group of boys looked on with envy, who hadn¡¯t fantasized about being surrounded by a group of girls? But they couldn¡¯t possibly be jealous of a girl like Bai Chuwei, could they? There¡¯s a saying, conquering men is no feat, but a woman who can make other women bow down to her is a true goddess! Amidst the chirping crowd, Gao Qiaoqiao coughed loudly. Rubbing her sore and painful left shoulder, Gao Qiaoqiao coughed and said, ¡°Bai Chuwei, so you know medicine? You mentioned I have a problem with my left shoulder, then why don¡¯t you give me a few acupuncture treatments first?¡± Bai Chuwei looked at her with contempt, ¡°Why should I?¡± Gao Qiaoqiao was stunned on the spot. After all, they were ssmates, weren¡¯t they? Even Su Ruan wasn¡¯t in the same ss! ying with her acupuncture kit, Bai Chuwei looked at the high-quality ink lines of bamboo woven on it and said leisurely, ¡°Should I do it because you¡¯ll do my homework? Or because you can give me a consultation fee?¡± Having heard that Bai Chuwei was the adopted daughter of Bai Yinyin¡¯s family, and that being an adopted daughter she couldn¡¯t possiblypare to ady like Bai Yinyin, Gao Qiaoqiao figured she probably didn¡¯t have much pocket money. A hint of mockery shed in Gao Qiaoqiao¡¯s eyes, thinking Bai Chuwei had gone mad with poverty, she coughed and said, ¡°As long as you can cure the pain in my left shoulder, I¡¯ll pay the consultation fee; I¡¯ve never said I¡¯d take advantage for free.¡± Gao Qiaoqiao¡¯s family had made a fortune overnight, and although only average in status in Haicheng, they had money! If they disliked someone, they¡¯d just throw money at them! Old Ancestor gracefully flicking her ink-ck hair, a smiling voicezily rose, ¡°Considering our ssmate rtionship, I¡¯ll give you a 50% discount. The consultation fee is one million.¡± Chapter 62 - 062: Not Wanting to Do Homework Doesn’t Mean She Can’t Do It Chapter 62: Chapter 062: Not Wanting to Do Homework Doesn¡¯t Mean She Can¡¯t Do It Bai Chuwei felt that she was indeed too kind-hearted. The diagnosis fee was only a million. In her twenty years on Yunwu Mountain, wealthy merchants who got wind of her skills came to seek cures, and the fee was at least five million to start. If those merchants knew about this, they would cry and kneel down with money in hand, begging her to save them. A million was nothing! Look at Duan Feihan, the fourth master of the Duan Family. To save his father, he was conned out of three billion by her, and he didn¡¯t even blink. Gao Qiaoqiao waspletely stunned, staring at Bai Chuwei with wide eyes, ¡°A¡­ a million? Why don¡¯t you just rob someone?¡± She had never seen any famous doctor ask for a million just like that. Gao Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a bit humiliated and red fiercely at Bai Chuwei, mocking her, ¡°Can¡¯t you treat my shoulder pain, and are just making up excuses?¡± ¡°Who the hell wants your treatment? Bai Chuwei, I¡¯ll remember this!¡± Gao Qiaoqiao¡¯s face turned red with anger as she threw down these words and stormed out of the crowd of girls. Bai Chuwei looked at the group of girls who were eager yet too embarrassed to speak up and curled the corners of her lips slightly, ¡°I can diagnose three patients a day, you can book in advance, starting from two thousand for the diagnosis fee.¡± As soon as she said this, the girls cheered. The female students of Henghua First Middle School were quite wealthy; two thousand was practically the same as twenty dors to them. Bai Chuwei pulled the bewildered Su Ruan back to the ssroom and stuffed a pile of test papers into her hands, ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Su Ruan¡¯s face blushed, and she said softly and shyly, ¡°I¡¯m the one who has troubled you, Bai. If I could mimic handwriting, it wouldn¡¯t have been such a hassle.¡± Su Ruan couldn¡¯t keep secrets and, out of curiosity, asked, ¡°Bai, your writing is really unique. Did you practice it specially?¡± Bai Chuwei casually stroked the head of a small bird that had flown over and replied offhandedly, ¡°I created it. It¡¯s called the Spiritual White Script.¡± Su Ruan was confused; she hadn¡¯t heard of this script before, had she? Seeing so many test papers in her arms, Su Ruan didn¡¯t dare stay in ss Nine any longer and said obediently, ¡°Bai, I¡¯ll go back and do my homework.¡± After Su Ruan left, the news of Bai Chuwei treating Su Ruan with acupuncture had already spread to the school¡¯s forum, making Bai Chuwei seem almost mystical. This led to many girls adding her WeChat, starting to book appointments for treatment the next day. By the time school was out in the afternoon, Su Ruan appeared in Bai Chuwei¡¯s ssroom again, handing over the homework. Duan Xingye stood on the side, his eyes filled with envy. No matter how much he studied, the best he could achieve was to rank within the top fifty of the whole grade, unable to surpass Su Ruan. With a flushed face, Su Ruan asked softly, ¡°Bai, I¡¯ve finished it all.¡± The revered ancestor was snacking on some seeds bought for the little birds, munching on the leftovers, and nced at the math test paper, ¡°Isn¡¯t the answer to the second fill-in-the-nk question the square root of three?¡± Su Ruan was taken aback, ¡°Ah?¡± She quickly grabbed a pen and recalcted it, her face lighting up with excitement as she looked at Bai Chuwei, ¡°Bai, how did you know it was the square root of three? Can you do all of them?¡± The old master chuckledzily; just because she didn¡¯t want to do homework didn¡¯t mean she couldn¡¯t. After all, she had once been an Imperial Tutor and a professor at National University. Before Bai Chuwei could even speak, munching on her seeds, a surprised voice echoed in the ss: ¡°Holy shit, Bai Chuwei, you¡¯ve gone viral!¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyebrows raised slightly. What¡¯s gone viral? As soon as Duan Xingye checked his phone, his face darkened in an instant, and he cursed under his breath, ¡°Damn it, who did this?!¡± Chapter 63 - 063: Accidental Like Chapter 63: Chapter 063: idental Like We live in a society where the inte has flourished, and in the past two years, the profession of live-streaming hosts has be popr. Gao Qiaoqiao is the ss representative for Chinese in ss Nine. Last time when the Chinese test papers were distributed, she took a photo of Bai Chuwei¡¯s paper. She has a Weibo ount for ranting, and just a moment ago she censored thest two characters of Bai Chuwei¡¯s name and casually uploaded the photo to Weibo¡­ Gao Qiaoqiao didn¡¯t have many followers, but coincidentally, Tong Qingyan liked it! Tong Qingyan is a live-streaming host with over two million followers. With a single slip of her finger liking the post, she instantly let her fans see it, causing the number of shares,ments, and likes to skyrocket¡ª! [Hahahaha, oh my god, this student is a genius. The question asked about the poet¡¯s emotions in thest couplet, and she said she has no special feelings, just wants to ¡°show off,¡± hahaha!] [Is this a senior high school student? Can they even get into a university with this level? The worst colleges wouldn¡¯t want her!] [Qingyan baby, did you see this joke too? Don¡¯t follow this Bai student¡¯s example, our Qingyan is someone aiming to be the top-scoring student in the college entrance exams.] [Qingyan, don¡¯t get corrupted by this, but it really is hrious, what kind of trash student is this?] ¡­ Visible to the naked eye, that Weibo post was wildly shared, and there was even a subtle momentum of hitting the trending searches. Duan Xingye was so angry he was about to explode, ¡°What the hell? Weiwei, don¡¯t be scared, I¡¯ll tell my fourth uncle right away to help take it down. It definitely won¡¯t affect your studies!¡± Su Ruan, standing by, was also very angry, ¡°Theseizens don¡¯t know anything and call Bai ssmate dumb and a trash student when actually Bai ssmate is super talented. I couldn¡¯t even work out the square root of three, and you knew the answer at a nce.¡± Duan Xingye walked over to Gao Qiaoqiao, ¡°Hey, hurry up and delete that Weibo post!¡± Gao Qiaoqiao nced at Bai Chuwei and leisurely packed up her bag, pretending to be apologetic, ¡°I just wanted to share it online to make everyone happy, I didn¡¯t expect it to blow up. I can delete it, but probably many people have taken screenshots and shared it already, so deleting it would be useless.¡± Duan Xingye was choked up for a moment, steam almosting out of his head. The person involved, Bai Chuwei, was still very collected, watching with interest as the reposts andments on that Weibo post continued to grow, having passed ten thousand. Just then, Bai Chuwei received a text message. [Tong Qingyan: I¡¯m sorry, Bai ssmate, I just identally liked the post, I didn¡¯t expect it to draw so much attention. I¡¯ve already unliked it, please don¡¯t be mad.] Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue, her smile deepening. The female lead really is a white lotus green tea b*tch, what a heavy ¡°slip of the hand¡±. In the original story, the female lead Tong Qingyan is a study zone live-streaming host on Salted Fish app. Because of her beauty and sharing study tips, she gradually garnered over a million followers, being recognized as the number one beauty and top schr on Salted Fish app. In the future, due to the main character halo, Tong Qingyan would invite the film emperor Duan Xiuqi to her live stream, and her fame would explode overnight, fully stepping into the public eye¡­ Thus, with Tong Qingyan¡¯s idental ¡°like,¡± Bai Chuwei became apleteughingstock amongizens. What kind of idiot senior high school student writes their Chinese exam like this? Are they giving up on college entrance exams? Thement section is full of ¡°hahahaha,¡± ¡°hhhhh,¡± ¡°233333,¡± and ¡°confusing behavior of the day¡±. At this moment, ament from a verified official ount with a little yellow ¡®v¡¯, ID ¡°Head of Calligraphy Department at Imperial Capital University, Zhao Guangming,¡± caught the attention of quite a fewizens: [Can the host please contact this Bai student? This calligraphy may be the Spiritual White Script that has been lost for nearly five hundred years.] Chapter 64: Don’t Love Him, It’s Futile Chapter 64: Don¡¯t Love Him, It¡¯s Futile In the office of the head of the Calligraphy Department at Imperial Capital University, an elderly man with graying hair suddenly stood up from his chair, a twinkle in his eyes, and urgently shouted to the teaching assistant in the room, ¡°Quick, quick, quick, get down that ¡®History of Calligraphy¡¯ book from the shelf! Hurry!¡± The teaching assistant was momentarily stunned; he had never seen Professor Zhao this excited before. He quickly took down the ¡®History of Calligraphy¡¯. Professor Zhao Guangming flipped through the book while repeatedly looking up topare it with the photo on theputer, trembling with excitement as he said, ¡°It is, it is Spiritual White Script!¡± The so-called Spiritual White Script might be unknown to most people today, but anyone who studied calligraphy knew of it. It was popr in the royal family of Hanyua Country five hundred years ago. It was said to be a writing style exclusive to the royal family and was lost with the downfall of Hanyua Country. Legend has it that the original manuscript of China¡¯s first ssic novel, ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon,¡± was written in Spiritual White Script! If the inheritor of the Spiritual White Script were found, it would, without exaggeration, shock the entire calligraphy world! Professor Zhao Guangming fumbled to put on his reading sses, his eyes glued to the Weiboment section on theputer screen. The onlookers in the crowd were not averse to stoking the mes, continuously liking the post. [Damn¡ªAn Imperial Capital University professor stepping into thements? Watching a renowned professor online!] [Is that really Professor Zhao, the big shot who¡¯s been on calligraphy shows? The Spiritual White Script lost for five hundred years? I¡¯ve only heard of Song typeface; is there such a script?] [I¡¯m a student of the Calligraphy Department and can exin, Spiritual White Script is a writing style exclusive to the royal family of Hanyua Country, originally named simply White Script. Because its character resembled that of an Immortal, filled with Spiritual Energy, it was affectionately named Spiritual White Script by the royal family and highly revered at the time. However, just before the tyrant destroyed the country in his anger, the script was lost to history through a mass book-burning.] ¡­ Due to the Imperial Capital professor stepping into thements, the atmosphere in thement section changed from ¡°haha, ridiculous students¡± to discussing ¡°Spiritual White Script.¡± Su Ruan stood to the side, dumbstruck. She seemed to remember her ssmate Bai Chuwei previously mentioning that she had created a font style named Spiritual White Script¡­ She had a bold guess! ¡°Why was this Weibo post deleted?¡± Duan Xingye asked in surprise. Bai Chuwei refreshed the page and saw it really was deleted, and in the next moment, her phone vibrated. [Duan Feihan: Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already taken care of the trending Weibo issue.] Duan Xingye, who was standing aside, blinked and hurriedly checked his own WeChat, only to find his fourth uncle hadn¡¯t replied to him at all, yet had made it a point to reply to Bai Chuwei¡­ At that moment, a thought formed in Duan Xingye¡¯s mind! On Friday after school, everyone left the ssroom together. Bai Chuwei deliberately followed behind Duan Xingye, ncing into the car sent by the Duan Family to pick him up. Not seeing Duan Feihan inside, she looked slightly disappointed, ¡°Your fourth uncle didn¡¯te to pick you up, huh?¡± Upon hearing this, rm bells went off in Duan Xingye¡¯s mind! Ignoring Xu Xingchen¡¯s greeting not far away, Duan Xingye pulled Bai Chuwei into a corner. Bai Chuwei looked at Duan Xingye with a hint of amusement, ¡°What¡¯s with all the secrecy?¡± Duan Xingye smacked his thigh, bing anxious, ¡°Weiwei, you couldn¡¯t really have fallen for my fourth uncle, could you? You mustn¡¯t like him ¨C don¡¯t love him, it¡¯s hopeless!¡± Bai Chuwei found it even more amusing. She liked the constant flow of Spiritual Energy that emanated from Duan Feihan; touching her chin, she smiled with prolonged meaning, ¡°Oh? Why is liking Duan Feihan hopeless? He isn¡¯t into men, is he?¡± Duan Xingye looked around, then whispered, ¡°It¡¯s more troublesome than that! He¡¯s been fixated on a youngdy from twenty years ago!¡± Chapter 65 - 065: When You Grow Up, Sister Fairy Will Come to Marry You Chapter 65: Chapter 065: When You Grow Up, Sister Fairy Will Come to Marry You Bai Chuwei¡¯s smile faltered slightly. Duan Xingye continued, ¡°I also can¡¯t figure out why my fourth uncle would like an aunt who is fourteen years older than him, anyway, just make sure you don¡¯t fall for him, it¡¯s pointless.¡± As far as he knew¡­ his fourth uncle was actually still searching for that woman called Bai Chu in private. Otherwise, how could his fourth uncle, a man of such youthful talent, still have no dating experience at twenty-four years old? Was that normal? Bai Chuwei suddenly remembered that twenty years ago, when Duan Feihan was only four years old, he led her out of the Duan Family¡¯s secret passage, and she teased him, ¡°Hanhan, when you grow up, maybe Sister Fairy wille to marry you, since I can¡¯t grow old anyway.¡± She still remembered how the proud little boy¡¯s face turned red, he put his hands behind his back, and tried to soundposed in his childish voice, ¡°Sister Fairy is wrong, only boys can marry a wife.¡± Bai Chuwei rubbed her face, wishing she could p herself. The old ancestor misspoke, not knowing whether she had imnted some strange ideas into the four-year-old Duan Feihan at that time¡­ ¡°Are you guys still here?¡± As Bai Chuwei was immersed in herplex emotions, a gentle voice came over. Xu Xingchen, carrying his backpack, walked towards them with a smile. Seeing his good friend, Duan Xingye¡¯s face broke into a smile, ¡°I¡¯m about to leave school, but I have to attend a tutoring ss.¡± Xu Xingchen looked a bit uneasy facing Bai Chuwei, this girl was too mysterious and made him feel out of control. He politely said with a smile, ¡°My mom heard you¡¯reing to our ce to study tomorrow, she wants to prepare a feast for you. By the way, Bai ssmate, do you want to join us?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes flickered, and she smiled, ¡°Since Xu ssmate has graciously invited me, if Duan Xingye is going tomorrow, I¡¯ll go too.¡± Xu Xingchen¡¯s smile froze, ¡°¡­¡± He was really just making polite conversation¡­ After finishing speaking, Bai Chuwei nced over at Duan Xingye, her gaze deep. She had warned Duan Xingye, if he didn¡¯t want to die, he should stay away from Xu Xingchen. Duan Xingye hesitated for a moment, then smiled, ¡°Then¡­ let¡¯s go to Xingchen¡¯s ce together tomorrow, his mom¡¯s cooking is really delicious.¡± Duan Xingye believed in Bai Chuwei¡¯s medical skills, but he absolutely didn¡¯t believe in metaphysics! Death just by being near Xu Xingchen? He and Xu Xingchen had been good friends for so long, hadn¡¯t they been perfectly fine? The smile on Duan Xingye¡¯s face was genuine, but inside, he didn¡¯t believe a word Bai Chuwei said. He was still figuring out how to straighten out Bai Chuwei¡¯s thinking! Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue and walked towards the Bai Family¡¯s car outside the school, with her empty backpack slung over her shoulder. Serves Duan Xingye right to have the fate of a cannon fodder. If it weren¡¯t for the task of ¡®face-pping¡¯ assigned by the system, she couldn¡¯t care less about Duan Xingye, that cannon fodder. Five thousand years ago, when spiritual energy was abundant and everyone could cultivate, it was only after that person¡¯s death that the world¡¯s spiritual energy began to gradually wane and disappear. So everyone believed in science, until more than twenty years ago when she discovered that spiritual energy was resurging¡­ As soon as she got into the car, Bai Yinyin sitting beside her started to mock, ¡°I heard your test paper was posted online, you¡¯ve disgraced our Bai Family.¡± Bai Yinyin sneered sharply, ¡°With you like this, what gives you the right to be our Bai Family¡¯s foster daughter?¡± Bai Chuwei flipped her hair back, remaining calm and collected, ¡°The qualification is not determined by you, but by Bai Guofu.¡± Bai Yinyin choked with anger, ¡°You¡ª¡± Bai Chuwei took out her vibrating phone, seeing someone had added her on WeChat, her eyebrows slightly raised. Who is this person? Bai Yinyin, holding her face, let out a shrill scream, ¡°A Mo Yun 10pro?? How do you have such an expensive phone?!¡± Chapter 66 - 066: Bai Chuwei is a Fairy! Chapter 66: Chapter 066: Bai Chuwei is a Fairy! Bai Yinyin had coveted the Mo Yun 10pro for quite some time. The founder of this smartphone brand was from one of China¡¯s eight prestigious families, the Qi Family, and the current man in charge was Qi Mo, a young master striving to catch up with the fourth son of the Duan Family. The Bai Family wasn¡¯t poor, just that the patriarch believed in frugality; it was only that they were expected to make a smartphone worth eight or nine thousandst for three to four years without recing it. The Mo Yun 10pro was priced as high as thirty to forty thousand, with the top-end model costing 48,888! Even for Bai Yinyin, her family wouldn¡¯t buy it for her. How could Bai Chuwei afford to use one? Bai Chuwei looked down at the WeChat message from the other party, while Bai Yinyin was screeching incessantly next to her. ¡°Who gave this to you? Let me see if it¡¯s genuine!¡± Bai Chuwei, her ears aching from the noise, frowned and raised her hand, giving Bai Yinyin a pat on the shoulder, ¡°You¡¯re too loud.¡± The screeching inside the car stopped abruptly; Bai Yinyin, with terror, sped her own throat and discovered to her horror that she had lost her voice¡­ This morning, Deng Man had said Bai Chuwei was wicked, perhaps a fairy, and she hadn¡¯t believed it! But now there was proof, it was true. ¡°Mmm¡ªMmm¡ªMmm¡ª¡± She couldn¡¯t talk, nor could she even make a crying sound!! All Bai Chuwei did was to cast a silence charm¡ªpeace and quiet atst. She lowered her head, looking at the iing messages, thinking it was a ssmate who wanted to make a medical appointment, but it turned out to be someone else¡­ [Cultivate Morality to Keep Qi Family in Peace: Hello, I am Duan Xiuqi, the endorser for Mo Yun V20. Do you have a misunderstanding about me?] Clearly, Duan Xiuqi had received news that his endorsement had been revoked. [Your esteemed ancestor: Your face just bothers me too much.] Having sent this message, Bai Chuwei ignored Bai Yinyin, who was crying from fright, got off the bus, and went home. Bai Yinyin cried soundlessly, hurriedly getting off the bus to chase after Bai Chuwei. Bai Chuwei is a fairy! She turned me into a mute! [Cultivate Morality to Keep Qi Family in Peace: ???] By the time Duan Xiuqi finished sending that message, he noticed a red dot and realised that he, a film emperor adored for twenty years, had been blocked¡­ A gloomy and eerie atmosphere permeated the nanny van; Tong Yunrou, with caution, ventured, ¡°Xiuqi, are you, are you okay?¡± Duan Xiuqi cursed unhappily under his breath, ¡°Ungrateful!¡± Having been a rascal since childhood, in his life, besides the woman Bai Chu, he didn¡¯t even listen to his father. He didn¡¯t want to be involved if he found out who was behind this¡ªhe¡¯d have to teach them a lesson! With his mood soured, Duan Xiuqi casually asked, ¡°I heard you¡¯re looking into someone?¡± At just that sentence, Tong Yunrou¡¯s face changed dramatically, mumbling hesitantly, ¡°No, let¡¯s go see the old master instead. I heard he¡¯s having an herbal bath and acupuncture today.¡± She absolutely couldn¡¯t let Duan Xiuqi find out she was investigating Bai Chu! With their own thoughts, after getting out of the car, they walked together towards the courtyard of the old master Duan. By now, the yard was already filled with people. Duan Feihan stood in the corner, the soft light of the spring evening sun spilling across his shoulders, his aura as cid and distinguished as a pine tree. Duan Xiuqi suddenly thought that if Duan Feihan entered the entertainment industry, perhaps there would be no room for him as the film emperor, right? Duan Xiuqi looked away and asked the butler, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say the doctor named Bai Chuwei was supposed toe for father¡¯s herbal bath and acupuncture today? Where is she? I¡¯d like to thank her.¡± As soon as Duan Xiuqi finished speaking, Liu Zhen stepped forward, chest out, surrounded by people, sporting the proud demeanor of a Divine Doctor. Tong Yunrou hade to despise anyone with the surname Bai and naturally disliked the Bai Chuwei she had never met. Seeing Liu Zhen, her heart brightened; he was the National Medical Saint she had invited with great effort! Tong Yunrou had heard that Bai Chuwei was around Duan Xingye¡¯s age and didn¡¯t believe a mere teenager could possess any medical skills. She knew when she saw Old Liu returning, that Doctor Bai was of no use. Right away, Tong Yunrou sneered, ¡°I knew it would take Old Liu to handle it, what medical skills can a high school student have?¡± Chapter 67 - 067: Give me a ruthless stab Chapter 67: Chapter 067: Give me a ruthless stab Liu Zhen¡¯s face turned pale upon hearing this, and he red at Tong Yunrou, berating her on the spot, ¡°Such trivial matters do not require the Ancestral Master¡¯s intervention. A disciple such as myself is fully capable of performing the acupuncture. You, in your ignorance, dare to insult our revered Ancestral Master?!¡± Clearly, Tong Yunrou¡¯s attempt at ttery had backfired spectacrly. Tong Yunrou was rebuffed by Liu Zhen, leaving her unable to face the situation with an awkward smile on her face. Where had she insulted his Ancestral Master?!! Despite being the beloved daughter of the Tong Family, Tong Yunrou felt somewhat displeased and asked with a forced smile, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Bai Chuwei and Xingye are of simr age, how then can Mr. Liu im her to be his Ancestral Master?¡± Liu Zhen¡¯s mustache quivered as he answered self-righteously, ¡°The Ancestral Master imparted medical knowledge to me in a dream.¡± Everyone present was dumbfounded and at a loss for words. Was this old Liu still half asleep? In a¡­ dream? Standing in a corner, Duan Feihan¡¯s dark, night-like phoenix eyes shed with a trace of suspicion. In a dream? Suddenly, he remembered the dream he had that night, the same nightmare he experienced again, only this time a young girl had appeared in it, her presence shining like a light in the terrifying dream. Liu Zhen abruptly flipped his sleeve with a cold snort, ¡°What do these young fools know of the Ancestral Master¡¯s profound medical skills? The elder Mr. Duan has finished his medicinal bath; bring me to administer acupuncture swiftly!¡± The Duan Family members, both high and low, woreplicated expressions. Seeing Old Liu hold in such high regard the high school girl he had just had a conflict with, they couldn¡¯t help but suspect that Liu might be under some kind of hex. As Liu Zhen performed the acupuncture, all the Duan Family members could do was wait outside. It wasn¡¯t long before the sound of the elder Mr. Duan¡¯s agonized screams echoed from the bedroom. In his dream, the Ancestral Master had said, ¡°Stick the needles in firmly, the more pitiful the scream, the better you¡¯ve learned!¡± Liu Zhen, looking at the elder Mr. Duan¡¯s face turning deathly pale from the needles, drenched in sweat, grew ecstatic. He quickened his pace, treating the elder¡¯s acupoints as if they were dead pork to be stabbed at will. The pitiful howls were never-ending! The butler eximed in surprise outside the door, ¡°It is truly deserving of Old Liu, the elder¡¯s breaths were short before, yet listen to those cries, they indeed signify the National Medical Saint¡¯s excellent skills! Expertly done!¡± A vein twitched on Duan Feihan¡¯s forehead. His father was screaming in such agony, and yet it was taken as a good sign¡­ The cunningly beautiful image of the young girl suddenly shed through his mind, and Duan Feihan could not shake the feeling that the girl was exacting her revenge on purpose. Duan Feihan tugged at the corner of his mouth, his gaze revealing a trace of a wry smile. Twenty minutester, Liu Zhen walked out proudly, chest puffed out. Behind him, the elder Mr. Duan, reduced to skin and bones, was helped out by a nurse, shakily making his way out. In an instant, every member of the Duan Family crowded around. ¡°The elder can walk? Old Liu¡¯s medical skills are extraordinary!¡± To them, the elder Mr. Duan was someone already at death¡¯s door, yet now he could walk! Liu Zhen cast a sideways nce, correcting them, ¡°It¡¯s the Ancestral Master¡¯s medical skills that are exceptional. This humble old man has merely learned the basics.¡± Everyone almost dropped their jaws in shock, remembering how arrogantly Liu Zhen had behaved when he first met Bai Chuwei, now utterly like a brainless fan! Looking at his father, drenched in sweat from the needling, Duan Feihan asked Liu Zhen, ¡°Old Liu, how many more times must my father undergo acupuncture?¡± ¡°ording to the Ancestral Master¡¯s estimate,bined with consuming medicine and medicinal baths, along with the Lingdao Thirteen Needles, he should recover in a week,¡± Liu Zhen crowed proudly, yet feeling somewhat ashamed inside. He had heard that if the Ancestral Master personally treated the patient, there would be no need for a week, three days would suffice! It was his ownck of talent that necessitated a week. All present took a sharp intake of breath ¨C curing terminal stomach cancer in a week? Who would believe such a thing if it were spread? This was truly the work of a Divine Doctor! Chapter 68: Holding a Rehabilitation Banquet Chapter 68: Holding a Rehabilitation Banquet Everyone looked at him with admiration, as people instinctively revere schrs and doctors. In the crowd, a middle-aged man who had been silent cleared his throat and pped his hands, saying, ¡°Now that dad is going to get better, we must throw a banquet to celebrate your recovery.¡± The middle-aged man who spoke was Duan Feihan¡¯s older brother, Duan Xiuhao, and Duan Xingye¡¯s father. Everyone nodded in agreement¡ªso many in Haicheng were waiting for the old master of the Duan Family to die, eager to see a joke made of them, so throwing a celebration banquet for his recovery would infuriate that bunch. The old master of the Duan Family had just thought he was about to be pricked to death by Liu Zhen, but now he felt much lighter and morefortable. His mood improved along with his health, and heughed, ¡°Good, let¡¯s have a banquet.¡± Observing his father¡¯s mood, Duan Xiuhao suddenly said with a smile, ¡°Dad, I¡¯ll introduce you to a young man at the banquet. He¡¯s about the same age as Xingye but much more outstanding.¡± Everyone was so immersed in the joy of the old master¡¯s impending recovery that they didn¡¯t pay much attention to Duan Xiuhao¡¯s mention of this outstanding young man. Standing on the outskirts of the crowd with a radiant smile, Tong Yunrou thought that with the old master getting better, Duan Xiuqi would have no excuse to dy the wedding. Even the heavens seemed to be helping her¡­ When a phone call came, Tong Yunrou¡¯s expression changed, and she carefully stepped aside with her phone to answer in a hushed voice, ¡°Did you find out? Who is it? Where?¡± The bill demanding payment from Bai Chu had been sent via courier, and since the delivery service was under a real-name system, it wasn¡¯t hard to find the person. The person on the other end mentioned a name that made Tong Yunrou¡¯s expression turn odd, ¡°Who? The Qi Family¡¯s eldest son, Qi Mo?¡± Tong Yunrou was confused; how did Bai Chu get involved with Qi Mo? Perhaps ordinary people didn¡¯t know who Qi Mo was, but they would definitely have heard of the Qi Family, one of the eight grand families of China, and they would certainly know the smartphone brand Mo Yun! Qi Mo was the household head of the Qi Family, an elite figure on par with the fourth master Duan. How could a woman like Bai Chu know someone from the Qi Family? ¡°Miss Tong, what are you talking about? Qi Mo?¡± Suddenly a deep voice that resonated like a plucked harp came from behind her. Tong Yunrou¡¯s legs went weak, and she hurriedly turned around. Duan Feihan stood three meters behind her, the evening sunlight casting a golden glow on his shoulders. Tong Yunrou nearly had a heart attack from the fright of Duan Feihan; she had heard that the fourth master was also privately searching for that woman, Bai Chu. Sheughed nervously, ¡°Nothing, nothing at all. It¡¯s just that Xiuqi¡¯s endorsement with Mo Yun smartphones was withdrawn, and I heard that Mo Yun smartphones belong to Qi Mo of the Qi Family.¡± Tong Yunrou changed the subject, ¡°Why are you out here, fourth master? Aren¡¯t you with the old master?¡± Duan Feihan replied indifferently, ¡°My father is about to recover, and I wanted to make a call to thank Divine Doctor Bai.¡± Tong Yunrou smiled and nodded, though she felt somewhat at a loss inside. That high school student called Bai Chuwei might really know some medicine, but she most certainly couldn¡¯t be the Ancestral Master. Just how significant was the title of Ancestral Master? Across the entire two thousand years of medical history in China, probably only Shennong could be called the Ancestral Master. A mere girl surely couldn¡¯t bear the weight of that title! Liu Zhen¡¯s brain wasn¡¯t clear, and she didn¡¯t understand what the fourth master was thinking either. Tong Yunrou hurried away, while Duan Feihan took out a ck smartphone and dialed a number¡­ Bai Family On the third floor, the small attic had its windows open, with the spring breeze blowing gently inside. In front of the desk by the window sat a beautiful young girl, holding a pair of small scissors leisurely cutting paper figures and muttering to herself, ¡°My little darlings, be sure to help me with my homework.¡± Chapter 69 - 069: Scared Faint Chapter 69: Chapter 069: Scared Faint The phone connected, and Bai Chuwei, without lifting her head, looked at the paper doll she had already cut out. With a pen in hand, she was drawing a face on the doll and askednguidly, ¡°Hanhan, how do you have time to call me?¡± The nickname ¡°Hanhan¡± made Duan Feihan¡¯s forehead vein twitch. Standing in the garden, his voice flowed like water, ¡°Just now, Master Liu gave my father acupuncture, and he cried out quite miserably.¡± Bai Chuwei chuckled pleasantly, ¡°Oh? Is the Fourth Master preparing toe to me with a grievance?¡± ¡°Not toe with a grievance, but to invite you for a meal. Miss Bai, are you free tomorrow evening?¡± Duan Feihan could tell from Bai Chuwei¡¯s suppressed, wickedughter that his own father¡¯s wretched cries from the acupuncture had something to do with her. But as long as he could stay alive, it didn¡¯t matter if the painful acupuncture helped Bai Chuwei vent her anger. ¡°I can.¡± It¡¯s not like it¡¯s going to cost her money. Tomorrow, following Duan Xingye to Xu Xingchen¡¯s house, she should be able to make time for dinner with Duan Feihan. Duan Feihan: ¡°See you tomorrow, then.¡± After hanging up the phone, Bai Chuwei set down the pen in her hand and admired the expression on the little paper doll¡¯s face with admiration, quite arrogant! Once finished, she pressed lightly with her onion-like index finger, directly invoking magic. ¡°Go copy my homework for me,¡± Bai Chuwei ordered the three little paper dolls. The white hamster Xue Qiu sat by, cracking sunflower seeds, supervising the workers. Bai Chuwei was indeed busy; she had to attend sses at school as per the storyline during the day, and where would she find the time to do homework in the evening? She took out a big stack of Spiritual Medicine from the storeroom, and Bai Chuwei went to the terrace outside on the third floor, intending to refine the stack of Spiritual Medicine into Elixirs. For a while, a faintly bitter scent of herbal medicine wafted from her small bedroom to the outdoors. A cold light shed in Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes, and she murmured to herself, ¡°Duan Xiuqi, if it weren¡¯t for you, why would I be taking medicine every day? I really want to crush your dog head¡­¡± ¡°Thump thump thump¡ª¡± Someone knocked at the door, and a whining sound could be faintly heard from outside. Bai Chuwei, attending to the Spiritual Medicine that Duan Feihan had spent three billion to buy for her, said without looking up, ¡°Go open the door.¡± Xue Qiu decisively spat out the seed husks, jumped down from the desk, leaped to the doorknob, and forced it down with its chubby body, opening a crack in the door. There were two people standing outside, one old, one young. Bai Yinyin silently wept, fearfully clinging to her grandfather Bai Guofu¡¯s arm. She became mute! No matter how much she tried to talk, she couldn¡¯t make a sound. Bai Chuwei was truly a Fairy, a monster. Bai Yinyin was going mad; was she going to be mute forever? She couldn¡¯t even cry out, only relying on texting on her phone. After Bai Yinyin had no other way, she could only seek help from her grandfather Bai Guofu. The suggestion Bai Guofu gave her was¡­ to apologize to the ancestor right away! The ancestor had a very good temper and never held grudges against them, the younger generation. It must be something she did that angered the ancestor. Bai Yinyin couldn¡¯t speak, so she could only fret in her heart; her grandfather must have been cursed. Trembling, Bai Yinyin was pulled to the third floor by Bai Guofu, knocking on the door to enter. Bai Chuwei¡¯s voice was ethereal and indifferent, ¡°Come in.¡± Bai Yinyin clung tightly to Bai Guofu¡¯s arm, just stepping in when her gaze suddenly fell on the three little paper dolls on the desk diligently doing homework, their faces drawn with incredibly arrogant expressions as if they were mocking her. Bai Chuwei was indeed a monster! She had seen ghosts! ¡°Ah¡ª¡± Bai Yinyin screamed silently, her eyelids flipped up, and she fainted onto the floor, body going limp. Chapter 70 - 070 I forgot, just for fun Chapter 70: Chapter 070 I forgot, just for fun Even Bai Guofu, who had mentally braced himself, was startled, stammering out, ¡°An¡­ Ancestor.¡± Chuwei was sorting through the Spiritual Medicine in her hand, calmly asking, ¡°What do you need from me?¡± Biting his tongue to stay focused, Bai Guofu hurriedly said, ¡°Ancestor, it¡¯s about Xiaofu, this unworthy granddaughter of mine. I¡¯ve heard she angered you, so you punished her by taking away her ability to speak. Please, don¡¯t hold a grudge against a child.¡± Sixty years had not left a single mark on Chuwei¡¯s face; Bai Guofu never regarded her as an ordinary person. Without raising her head, Chuwei instructed, ¡°Wake her up.¡± Xue Qiu, who loved to stir up trouble, crawled onto the desk gleefully and took the half cup of cold water Chuwei had left from the night before, sshing it viciously on Bai Yinyin¡¯s face. She woke up. Shivering with cold, Bai Yinyin wiped the water from her face, saw the white-furred mouse along with three diligently working little paper figures, screamed silently in terror, nearly fainting again. Bai Yinyin cried and hid behind Bai Guofu. Only then did Chuwei shift her gaze from the Spiritual Medicine to Bai Yinyin, her eyebrows slightly furrowing as she said, ¡°You are a member of the Bai Family, and by rights, I should protect you. Yinyin, if there¡¯s a next time, I will make sure you never speak again for the rest of your life.¡± After saying so, Chuwei stretched out her hand and crisply snapped her fingers through the air. As if she had been holding back for a long time, Yinyin blurted out silently, ¡°Grandpa, she¡¯s a fairy, why did you bring a fairy home?¡± She¡­ She could speak? Yes, it was because of Chuwei¡¯s snap just now¡­ Bai Yinyin¡¯s gaze shifted to the little paper figures on the desk, her whole body trembling like a leaf, her face deathly pale. Bai Guofu felt very awkward; hadn¡¯t his granddaughter heard the Ancestor promise protection? A fairy my foot, have you ever seen a fairy save his life when he was dying, feed him, and help him prosper all the way? If she were truly a fairy, would the ancestors of their Bai Family across thousands of years, honor her as the Ancestor? Bai Yinyin didn¡¯t dare stay here any longer; frightened, she turned and ran, snatched up her cell phone from her room as if she had gone mad. She wanted to call the police! In the attic, Chuwei was crafting her medicine, leisurely listening to Bai Guofu cautiously say, ¡°Ancestor, indeed it is Yinyin¡¯s fault, but Xiaofu is my only granddaughter¡­ Her college entrance exam ising up, and I don¡¯t want this to affect her.¡± Chuwei rather admired one aspect of Bai Guofu; perhaps due to her influence, the old man never favored boys over girls. Even though several grandsons from the main Bai Family branch were quite outstanding, Bai Guofu still doted on his second son¡¯s granddaughter. Chuwei pondered for a few seconds; Yinyin was a bbermouth, and if she spread the word, it could cause trouble. Chuwei smiled faintly, ¡°She will forget what happened today, but the fear will remain etched in her heart. Xiaofu, I can make her forget today, but I can also make her remember it someday.¡± As Bai Guofu gazed at Chuwei¡¯s breathtaking beauty adorned with a serene smile, like looking at mountains veiled behind mist, he shivered forcefully and nodded repeatedly. Having left the attic, Bai Guofu saw Bai Yinyin not far away, red-eyed and clutching her phone, reporting to the police. The call connected, ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the problem?¡± As Bai Yinyin was about to speak, her mind suddenly went nk, unable to recall what she wanted to say. ¡°Hello? May I ask what you¡¯re reporting?¡± Bai Yinyin stammered, ¡°Uh¡­ I forgot, just ying around.¡± The voice on the other end turned serious in an instant, ¡°ording to the Public Security Administration Punishments Law, making prank calls to the police is considered disturbing public order and is subject to detention and a fine.¡± Bai Yinyin: ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 71 - 071 I Want to Hold You Chapter 71: Chapter 071 I Want to Hold You If she got caught and fined or detained for this, she¡¯d be theughingstock of the entire school. When the police showed up, it was Bai Guofu who talked them down, paying the fine without detention, finally putting an end to the matter. Bai Guofu looked at his granddaughter, whose face was still somewhat pale, and said with grave concern, ¡°Yinyin, don¡¯t always dispute with the old ancestor. Get along well with her, and she will protect you in the future.¡± Bai Yinyin shuddered at the mention of ¡°old ancestor,¡± a sense of inexplicable fear creeping up from the depths of her heart; she shook her head repeatedly, ¡°I don¡¯t¡ªI¡¯ll go back to my room first.¡± Seeing his granddaughter like this, Bai Guofu softened his tone, ¡°You don¡¯t have to study or practice calligraphy and piano today. Just rest well.¡± Bai Yinyin was indeed a well-nurtured girl of the Bai family, trained in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age. Although her calligraphy wasn¡¯t at the level of a grandmaster, and her piano skills were not enough to hold a solo concert, she possessed talents respectable enough to show off. Watching Bai Yinyin dash upstairs to her room as if running for her life, Bai Guofu couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of joy as he turned his gaze towards the attic on the third floor, hands sped behind his back. Now that the old ancestor was living at home, even if the Bai family faced colossal troubles, they had the old ancestor¡¯s support. It was just a pity that his descendants were too foolish, mistaking a fine jade for a mere stone. * It wasn¡¯t until the three little paper men had finished the task of copying homework and the sky had turned dark that Bai Chuwei¡¯s elixir was finally nearingpletion. The faint bitter scent of the medicine wafted down from the attic on the third floor. Aunt Chen came up under the pretense of helping Miss Chuwei clean, only to find Bai Chuwei on the vast tform outside the attic¡­ practicing alchemy? As the firewood burned one stick after another, Aunt Chen was choked by the smoke and hurriedly left, muttering to herself, ¡°What is she up to now? There¡¯s natural gas in the kitchen. Does she think she¡¯s in some backwoods needing to make her own fire? Utter nonsense.¡± Seeing the poor spectacle, Aunt Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of superiority. She was indeed a poor girl from the countryside. After toiling for four or five hours, Bai Chuwei finally produced a small bottle of elixir. She popped one into her mouth and the extreme bitterness spread crazily across her lips and teeth, making her face scrunch up like a dumpling. ¡°Duan Xiuqi, if I ever encounter you again, I swear I¡¯ll strangle you,¡± Bai Chuwei bit into the medicinal pill in her mouth, the bitterness making her shudder. Xue Qiu looked at Bai Chuwei with some concern, ¡®Old Ancestor, do you want some candy?¡¯ Bai Chuwei sat at the desk, her eyes glistening as she stared out into the night, ¡°Candy? Right now I¡¯m craving the taste of Tang Seng¡¯s meat!¡± Bai Chuwei sipped some sweet, honeyed water while picking up her phone to send a WeChat message to Duan Feihan. [Your Old Ancestor ah: [picture]] At that moment, Duan Feihan was working from home and saw the message immediately. Bai Chuwei sent him a picture, to be precise, an emoji that featured a plump hamster with two adorable blushes on its cheeks, extending its little paws as if asking for a hug. Duan Feihan¡¯s eyebrows knitted slightly. What did this mean? [Duan Feihan: ?] [Duan Feihan: ¡­Are you cold? Or not feeling well?] After asking, Duan Feihan felt something was off; after all, Bai Chuwei was a doctor herself. [Your Old Ancestor ah: I¡¯m quenching my thirst by thinking of plums.] Duan Feihan held the phone, his frown deepening. He was only six years older than Bai Chuwei, and logically there shouldn¡¯t be such a great generation gap; yet for a moment he was unable to understand the meaning behind her words. [Your Old Ancestor ah: I want to hug you.] Chapter 72 - 072: Bai Chuwei’s Unusual Obsession with Hugs Chapter 72: Chapter 072: Bai Chuwei¡¯s Unusual Obsession with Hugs Isn¡¯t this just clutching at straws? The moment Bai Chuwei thought about the endless spiritual energy emanating from this man, the bitter medicine in her mouth suddenly didn¡¯t seem so bitter. She wanted to hug him tightly and take a few deep breaths of spiritual energy. She had no idea what Duan Feihan was thinking, as he hadn¡¯t responded to her. Clutching her phone, Bai Chuwei muttered to herself, ¡°When I established the eight great families, I should have included the Duan Family in the mix!¡± With the old ancestor¡¯s connection, wouldn¡¯t she be able to hug Duan Feihan whenever she wanted? Bai Chuwei deeply felt she had miscalcted. Her hand-held phone vibrated, and upon seeing the caller ID, her lips curled, and she answered: ¡°Old Ancestor, Tong Yunrou has traced the courier package to me.¡± The voice on the other end was gentle, apanied by muffled coughing. Bai Chuwei spokezily, ¡°Let her trace it. All I want is for the Tong Family to pay me back four billion.¡± She knew Qi Mo¡¯s capabilities; unless she revealed herself, there was no way Tong Yunrou could get past Qi Mo and investigate her. Qi Mo chuckled softly, ¡°People who don¡¯t know might think the old ancestor is really short of money.¡± If it weren¡¯t for the phone call he had previously received from Bai Chuwei, he could never have imagined that the old ancestor had descended from the mountain. It had been many years since theyst met, and for a moment, both remained silent. After pondering for a while, Qi Mo suddenly said amidst coughing, ¡°Old Ancestor, there may be someone from Imperial Capital University looking for you soon.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s Chinese exam paper had gone viral before he could step in to help, and the Duan Family¡¯s Fourth Master had already taken action. Unless something unexpected happened, Professor Zhao Guangming from the Imperial Capital University¡¯s Calligraphy Department would make a special trip to Haicheng for the Spiritual White Script. Bai Chuwei responded with ack of interest and casually hung up after a brief acknowledgment. Checking WeChat again, she saw that Duan Feihan had finally replied to her message a minute ago. [Duan Feihan: Wait until tomorrow.] This was Duan Feihan¡¯s reply after a long silence, telling her to wait until tomorrow for a hug. This young girl had an unusual persistence towards hugging. Bai Chuwei: ¡°??¡± What does that mean? At dinner that evening, the usually sharp-tongued Bai Yinyin sat quite far from her, and even the next day, the weekend, Bai Yinyin didn¡¯te to bother her. Bai Chuwei checked the time and changed into a long white dress before heading to the meeting ce she had arranged with Duan Xingye. She got out of the Bai Family¡¯s private car and saw from afar Duan Xingye leaning against a billboard with a small vocabry book in hand, memorizing words. He really was seizing every opportunity to prepare for the college entrance exams. ¡°Weiwei, you¡¯re here?¡± Duan Xingye raised his head at the sound of her arrival, his smile beaming at her. Upon seeing the bag Bai Chuwei carried on her arm, the corners of Duan Xingye¡¯s mouth twitched, ¡°Weiwei, are you going to study?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s bag was empty, not even a pen inside, clearly not prepared for studying. Bai Chuwei answered confidently, ¡°I¡¯m not going for studying.¡± Duan Xingye felt helpless, ready to take Bai Chuwei in the car to go to Xu Xingchen¡¯s ce, when suddenly she stretched out her fair arm and grabbed the cor of his shirt, asking indifferently, ¡°I told you there¡¯s a Bloody Disaster looming, are you sure you still want to go?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression was very serious, her brows and eyes exuding a distinct chill. A sudden, inexplicable sense of panic rose in the bottom of Duan Xingye¡¯s heart. He looked down at the vocabry book in his hand and bit his lip, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ve already made an appointment with Xingchen. Let¡¯s head out.¡± The Duan Family¡¯s private car took the two towards Skyline Garden, an upscale vimunity. The journey was smooth, and Bai Chuwei rested with her eyes closed, while Duan Xingye listened to English audio with headphones, a vocabry book on hisp. Chapter 73 - 073: Do Not Associate with Those Low-Class Girls Chapter 73: Chapter 073: Do Not Associate with Those Low-ss Girls Bai Chuwei slightly opened her eyes, ¡°Duan Xingye, do you need to work so hard?¡± She knew that the boy only slept for five hours a day, and spent the rest of his time studying. Duan Xingye¡¯s handsome face turned slightly red, and he scratched his head with some embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m not smart, so I have to work hard. Besides, I didn¡¯t study seriously in the first or second year of high school.¡± Duan Xingye paused, then said in a low voice, ¡°I want to prove to my father that his son is not good for nothing. I want to study finance in university, andter go back to help my fourth uncle to take over the family business, so I need to work a little harder now.¡± A warm hand gentlynded on the top of his hair and caressed it lightly, Bai Chuwei¡¯s normallyzy voice was surprisingly tender at this moment, ¡°Heavenly Dao will look after those who work hard. Your fourth uncle will be very pleased too.¡± That gentle encouragement was like that from a caring older sister. Duan Xingye was stunned for a moment, his face turning bright red, and he quickly turned his head to cough. The car stopped at the entrance of Skyline Garden viplex. Bai Chuwei and Duan Xingye got out of the car and saw Xu Xingchen standing at the entrance, smiling at them like a spring breeze. Bai Chuwei nced at Duan Xingye, who still had a vocabry book in his hand, and her face grew colder when she saw Xu Xingchen. Before they interacted, Duan Xingye in her eyes could only be considered as a disposable character briefly mentioned in the original text, but after getting to know his efforts, she felt an increasing dislike for Xu Xingchen, the original male lead. It was because of Xu Xingchen that all of Duan Xingye¡¯s efforts and expectations turned into nothing, and he even lost his life. Xu Xingchen greeted them and they entered the elevator together and pressed the button for the 32nd floor. Bai Chuwei raised her eyebrows in surprise, ¡°The 32nd floor is the topmost duplex vi. Xu ssmate, your family is quite wealthy, huh? I wonder what your family does?¡± The top floor suites in Skyline Garden cannot be had for less than 20 million yuan. Xu Xingchen and Duan Xingye were both taken aback. There were no girls at school who weren¡¯t curious about Xu Xingchen¡¯s family, but they always asked in roundabout ways, never as straightforwardly as Bai Chuwei! Xu Xingchen nced at Duan Xingye, then lowered his eyes and said vaguely, ¡°My father runs a small business, and my mother is into investing, but our family isn¡¯t as rich as the Duan Family.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s smile grew more profound as she tugged at her lips. His father runs a small business? That probably wasn¡¯t so simple. When they reached the top floor and got out of the elevator, they hadn¡¯t even had the chance to knock when the door opened from inside. A beautiful woman in her thirties with a graceful figure came out, her makeup bright and her smile radiant as she looked at them, ¡°Xingchen¡¯s ssmates have arrived,e in quickly. I¡¯m Xingchen¡¯s mother.¡± The woman¡¯s gaze suddenly fell on Bai Chuwei, her eyebrows inadvertently furrowing. Bai Chuwei¡¯s natural dazzling, alluring look and her ethereal charisma gave off an elusive vibe. They changed their shoes and went inside, and Xu Xingchen¡¯s mother, Xu Li, looked at Bai Chuwei with a smile, ¡°This ssmate, it¡¯s your first time at our home, may I know which family you¡¯re from?¡± Bai Chuwei, ¡°Bai Guofu, the Bai Family.¡± The Bai Family, huh¡­ Xu Li¡¯s eyes showed a hint of disappointment but quickly recovered, and she said with a smile, ¡°Please sit down, I¡¯ll get you some juice. Xingchen,e to the kitchen and bring out the fruit.¡± The mother and son went into the kitchen one after the other. Xu Li used the juicer to make juice, nced at Xu Xingchen, and warned in a low voice, ¡°Xingchen, you¡¯ll be going back to the Duan Family in the future; don¡¯t associate with those low-ss girls.¡± Xu Li¡¯s eyes showed a trace of contempt, ¡°From my experience, that Bai Chuweiing to our house is aiming for you!¡± Chapter 74 - 074 You Look a Bit Like Xu Xingchen Chapter 74: Chapter 074 You Look a Bit Like Xu Xingchen The Bai Family might be considered wealthy, but her son is the offspring of Duan Xiuhao, a member of the Duan Family! Who could say whether he might inherit the great Duan Family assets in the future? The Bai Family girl was beneath her regard. Xu Xingchenughed awkwardly, Bai Chuwei definitely wasn¡¯t interested in him, and he couldn¡¯t figure out why Bai Chuwei wanted to study at his ce, especially since he noticed she hadn¡¯t even brought a pen and clearly wasn¡¯t there to study. Xu Xingchen knew he was the illegitimate child of the Duan Family, he drew in his lips and whispered softly, ¡°Mom, whether I can return to the Duan Family is still uncertain.¡± The financial power of the Duan Family, the entire family conglomerate, was in the hands of Duan Feihan, the Fourth Master, and it was not certain that he would ept this nephew. A ruthless glint shed in Xu Li¡¯s eyes as she watched the juicer crush the oranges, confidently whispering words offort, ¡°Xingchen, if Duan Xingye were gone, you¡¯d be able to return to the Duan Family soon.¡± At those words, Xu Xingchen¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he thoughtfully looked at his mother. Thatment¡­ seemed to carry a deeper meaning. In the living room, Bai Chuwei smiled with a meaningful air, her fingers tapping casually on her knee, listening in on the conversation between the two. She nudged Duan Xingye¡¯s waist with her elbow, ¡°Duan Xingye, don¡¯t you think something is strange?¡± Duan Xingye didn¡¯t understand, ¡°What¡¯s strange?¡± Bai Chuwei, ¡°I heard Xu Xingchen¡¯s parents are deeply in love, have you seen a family photo in their house? A wedding photo? A family portrait?¡± Duan Xingye was taken aback, indeed! He had been to Xu¡¯s home several times but had never seen Xu Xingchen¡¯s father nor any family photographs. Bai Chuwei smirked and in a deliberately hushed tone, she provocatively said, ¡°Don¡¯t you think you and Xu Xingchen look a bit alike? Even your names are somewhat simr?¡± Duan Xingye startled, the implication of Bai Chuwei¡¯s words almost made him stand up on the spot. By that time, Xu Li and Xu Xingchen had already carried out the fruit and juice, and Duan Xingye hurriedlyposed himself, sitting upright next to Bai Chuwei. Xu Li looked at Bai Chuwei, her face beaming with smiles as she made polite conversation. If it weren¡¯t for overhearing her conversation with Xu Xingchen in the kitchen, Bai Chuwei, upon seeing Xu Li¡¯s smiling face, would never have guessed Xu Li¡¯s disdain for her. Bai Chuwei stood up, hands sped behind her back as she walked around the first-floor hall, smiling, ¡°Aunt Xu, ssmate Xu, your home is beautifully decorated.¡± Xu Li felt satisfied inside, as the house, which she had beseeched Duan Xiuhao for a long while to buy, was decorated to her scrutiny; every item was the very best. This young miss from the Bai Family surely hadn¡¯t seen anything of such high quality before. Although she was not Duan Xiuhao¡¯s legal wife, her own life was probably much morefortable than that of his official wife. Even Duan Xiuhao favored her son, Xingchen, over Duan Xingye! Xu Li covered her mouth with a lightugh and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, I just decorated it casually, ording to my own preferences.¡± Bai Chuwei walked back, one hand resting on Duan Xingye¡¯s shoulder, leaning leisurely on the couch, andughed, ¡°Aunt Xu is too modest, your house is decorated ording to Fengshui Mysticism, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, not only does it help umte wealth, it even keeps men around; it¡¯s not casual at all.¡± Xu Li¡¯s smile abruptly froze on her face, her eyes widening in astonishment as she stared at Bai Chuwei. What was this young girl saying? How did Bai Chuwei figure out the house¡¯s decor was based on Fengshui? Chapter 75 - 075: You will face imprisonment soon Chapter 75: Chapter 075: You will face imprisonment soon Bai Chuwei was calm and collected as she continued, ¡°The Feng Shui master is quite skilled; setting up this Wealth and Peach Blossom Formation indicates some prowess. I¡¯m afraid it wouldn¡¯t cost less than a few million.¡± Xu Xingchen, living in this house, must have been influenced by it, no wonder he¡¯s so popr with the girls at school. Pretty good? Some expertise? Coming from Bai Chuwei, these words always seemed to carry a hint of disdain. The smile vanishedpletely from Xu Li¡¯s face as she stared at Bai Chuwei, dumbfounded. Right on the money! Not a penny more, not a penny less, it cost her 1.01 million! Xu Li licked her red lips and clenched her fists, trying to force a smile, ¡°Bai ssmate, you seem to have some knowledge of these things?¡± Bai Chuwei curled the corner of her lips, revealing a smile full of profound meaning, ¡°A little bit.¡± With just four simple words, she dominated the entire conversation, causing Xu Li¡¯s heart to flutter and her palms to start sweating. Usually only Duan Xingye came over to study, and now Bai Chuwei had appeared out of the blue, leaving her unsure of the purpose of her visit. Suddenly, Xu Li bit her tongue and inwardly sneered; she was nearly forty, having wrapped Duan Xiuhao around her finger¡ªsurely she could handle a girl not yet twenty, with her yellow hair? Xu Li put on a smile and teased, ¡°I know, young girls like zodiac and tarot cards. Why don¡¯t you do a reading for auntie as well?¡± Xu Li truly had a way with words. As soon as she uttered them, the tension that Bai Chuwei had created thawed, and the atmosphere rxed again. Bai Chuwei smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, her smile genuinely sweet, ¡°Sure.¡± Bai Chuwei rose to her feet, hands sped behind her back, and strode from the living room to the balcony. She looked out at the scenery with a detached gaze as cold as the snow on a mountain peak. Her figure might have been delicate, but she exuded a strong sense of mystery that was elusive. Looking at Xu Xingchen, whose face was equally troubled, Xu Li asked Bai Chuwei jokingly, ¡°Bai ssmate, do you want auntie to get you some tarot cards or apass?¡± Bai Chuwei turned around with a rich smile, ¡°I don¡¯t use magic artifacts for fortune-telling.¡± Xu Li blurted out, ¡°How can you read fortunes without magic artifacts?¡± Bai Chuwei calmly countered, ¡°Do you need magic artifacts to see through something that¡¯s so transparent?¡± All three people present inhaled sharply. What a brazen statement! Bai Chuwei, with her hands behind her back, walked in and looked down at Xu Li on the sofa, smiling, ¡°Auntie, you may face the danger of imprisonment soon. I would advise you to think twice before you act.¡± Xu Li¡¯s face turned ashen, and her legs gave way, causing her to tumble down from the sofa. Duan Xingye, who was closest, quickly helped Xu Li up, noticing therge beads of sweat and the extreme panic on her forehead. Imprisonment! After someone has been killed, isn¡¯t that a reason to end up in prison? Xu Li¡¯s heart was engulfed in a tidal wave of terror, and cold sweat soaked through her clothes. She looked at Bai Chuwei¡¯s beautiful, smiling face and couldn¡¯t help feeling that she had been seen through. Xu Xingchen, noticing his mother¡¯s distress, grew even more suspicious that she might be up to something. He quickly stood up and tried to defuse the situation, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not put too much stock into these things, we should go to my room and study.¡± Duan Xingye, still troubled by the ¡°Bloody Disaster¡± Bai Chuwei had mentioned, felt less afraid with her there. He agreed to Xu Xingchen¡¯s suggestion to study. Duan Xingye went to invite Bai Chuwei to join them for study time. The three of them walked upstairs, one after another. Suddenly, Duan Xingye saw something that turned his face deathly white, and he urgently asked, ¡°What is this?¡± Chapter 76 - 076: I have a date with Tang Seng’s flesh soon. Chapter 76: Chapter 076: I have a date with Tang Seng¡¯s flesh soon. The second floor is the master¡¯s living quarters, which also includes a small sitting room for receiving guests. On the ss coffee table there, a high-end men¡¯s watch is ced. Xu Xingchen was initially startled and quickly put it away, thenughed and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just a gift from a rtive of mine.¡± Although the watch was expensive, it could be bought with money, and Duan Xingye wouldn¡¯t notice anything. After saying that, he put the watch away. Duan Xingye looked somewhat dazed. He recognized that watch, a global limited edition; he had saved money to ask Duan Feihan, who was going abroad on a business trip, to bring it back for him, and then he gave the watch to his father, Duan Xiuhao, as a birthday present. He had engraved several English letters on the dial and even chose a very special font, so there was no way he could be mistaken. And now, this watch was here in the Xu¡¯s house¡­ In an instant, Duan Xingye thought of what Bai Chuwei had just said, feeling that he looked a bit like Xu Xingchen, even their names bore some resemnce. Could it be¡­ Duan Xingye almost passed out, a terrifying thought wildly roaming his mind. Xu Xingchen was exining a math problem to Duan Xingye, while Bai Chuwei sat leisurely on the side, drinking juice. Duan Xingye was clearly absent-minded, and Xu Xingchen asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Duan Xingye snapped back to reality, nced at Bai Chuwei, who was smiling broadly at him while drinking her juice, and pulled a grimace, ¡°Nothing, just thinking about the celebration banquet for my grandfather¡¯s recovery, which will take ce in a few days.¡± Xu Xingchen¡¯s heartbeat suddenly sped up, his hand gripping the pen tightly. His father had said¡­ that he would be introduced to the entire Duan Family at that celebration banquet. With this thought, Xu Xingchen couldn¡¯t help feeling delighted, and he turned his head to Bai Chuwei, ¡°ssmate Bai, why don¡¯t youe over and listen to the math problem too?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s graceful figurezily rested on the sofa, her smile enigmatic, ¡°My hearing is very good, I can hear you no matter how softly you speak.¡± For example¡­ Xu Li on the first floor was frantically making a phone call to someone, which she could hear clearly. Xu Li was truly panicked; Bai Chuwei¡¯s words earlier almost amounted to outright using her of seeking to harm Duan Xingye! Xu Li whispered into the phone, ¡°You don¡¯t have to act, you absolutely cannot touch Duan Xingye today.¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s voice on the other side turned cold, ¡°Even if I make my move, the police won¡¯t be able to trace it.¡± Xu Li was almost roaring in desperation but, remembering that Bai Chuwei was still upstairs, she could only warn in a suppressed tone, ¡°Master Sun, anyway, don¡¯t act, the mission is off! At least¡­ don¡¯t make a move now; we can discuss it again in a few days.¡± She would, of course, be overjoyed if Duan Xingye died. If Duan Xingye were dead, Duan Xiuhao would be without a son, and Xingchen could rightfully return to the Duan Family. But now the situation was not right, at least¡­ at least these few days they couldn¡¯ty a hand on Duan Xingye! Xu Li lowered her voice and ryed Bai Chuwei¡¯s situation, emphasizing over and over, ¡°You absolutely can¡¯t act now.¡± The phone clicked as it was hung up, and the middle-aged man standing atop the high building murmured to himself, his tone full of contempt, ¡°A little brat with yellow hair? What¡¯s she to me?!¡± Cancel the mission, who would pay him? He couldn¡¯t believe that with Duan Xingye¡¯s body lying there, Xu Li would stop paying? * ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day, thank you, Xingchen, I have to go to cram schoolter.¡± In the afternoon, a distracted Duan Xingye suggested leaving. Xu Xingchen saw Duan Xingye and Bai Chuwei downstairs. Duan Xingye forced a smile, ¡°Weiwei, shall I have the private car take you home?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes shone, and she decisively shook her head, ¡°No need, I have a date with Tang Seng soon.¡± Duan Xingye was shocked, ¡°A date with my Uncle Four?¡± Did Weiwei not take his words to heart? His Uncle Four has been pining for the Sister Fairy from twenty years ago! Don¡¯t fall for his Uncle Four, there¡¯s no future in it! Chapter 77 - 077: Because You Are Duan Feihan’s Nephew Chapter 77: Chapter 077: Because You Are Duan Feihan¡¯s Nephew Bai Chuwei looked down her nose: ¡°Adult matters are not for children to worry about.¡± Duan Xingye: ¡°¡­¡± Aren¡¯t we both eighteen?!! As Xu Xingchen stood to one side, listening to their conversation, his brow furrowed unconsciously. Duan Xingye¡¯s fourth uncle, who was technically also his fourth uncle, was notoriously cold and distant, never having had a girlfriend. How had he be involved with Bai Chuwei? This made Xu Xingchen somewhat ufortable. Did this mean that even if he returned to the Duan Family, he would still have to interact with Bai Chuwei? Xu Xingchen deeply disliked Bai Chuwei from the bottom of his heart. She was very pretty and possessed a temperament imbued with spiritual energy umted over years, a mystery he had never encountered in any girl before. However, such a woman was hard to control. Feeling unsettled, Xu Xingchen could only murmur, ¡°Take care on the road, I¡¯m going home to study.¡± After Xu Xingchen left, the Duan Family¡¯s private car finally arrived. Bai Chuwei watched as Duan Xingye climbed into the car in a daze, her longshes drooping as she pondered deeply. Just now, she had heard Li Li making a call to a certain Master Sun, presumably to cancel the n to secretly harm him. Bai Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly, noting the dark clouds over Duan Xingye¡¯s head had not lessened but rather be denser. Clicking her tongue, she followed him into the car and told the driver: ¡°Drive, I¡¯ll take him to tutoring ss.¡± Duan Xingye gestured for the driver to put up the soundproof partition and, with eyes reddened, asked in a low voice, ¡°Weiwei, do you have x-ray vision or something?¡± Duan Xingye thought about Teacher Zhou¡¯s illness, Su Ruan¡¯s dysmenorrhea, and he suspected Bai Chuwei had x-ray vision, which exined her excellent medical skills. Could it be that she had noticed the simrity in their bloodlines with Xu Xingchen? Bai Chuwei let out a lightugh: ¡°Superpowers? Does cultivating immortality for five thousand years count as a superpower?¡± Duan Xingye tugged at the corner of his mouth, finding Bai Chuwei¡¯s joke somewhat humorless. Because¡­ by diverting the topic, she had tacitly admitted it. Perhaps he needed to find time for a DNA test? Bai Chuwei saw his face clouded with worry and, after a moment of contemtion, said, ¡°I¡¯ll take you to your tutoring ss, and after my date with your fourth uncle, we¡¯lle to pick you up. Make sure you stay put at the tutoring ce and don¡¯t wander off.¡± The kid looked like he was marked for tragedy, ah, some storylines are tough to reverse. But if the old ancestor wanted to keep him alive, then Heavenly Dao had no choice but to obey! Having said that, Bai Chuwei took out her phone and dialed Duan Feihan¡¯s number, intending to let him know to meet her downstairs at the tutoring center to go out for a meal. The call connected, but just kept beeping on the line, unanswered. ¡°Weiwei¡­¡± Bai Chuwei raised her eyebrows slightly and looked up at Duan Xingye, who was wilting beside her, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Duan Xingye¡¯s eyes were rimmed with red as he gazed at Bai Chuwei and asked softly, ¡°Weiwei¡­ why are you so nice to me?¡± They had only known each other for a few days, but she was very kind to him. Touching her chin, Bai Chuwei thought for a moment. Arge reason for her kindness towards Duan Xingye was because of his identity in the original story. If the cannon fodder didn¡¯t die, it would be hard for the male lead, Xu Xingchen, to return to the Duan Family, and the old ancestor was simply looking to trip up Xu Xingchen. Of course, she couldn¡¯t tell Duan Xingye that reason, or else it would lead back to the events from five thousand years ago. After a moment of thought, Bai Chuwei said with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s because you¡¯re Duan Feihan¡¯s nephew, right?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± The man¡¯s voice, low and soft like water, seemed to be tinged with a hint of a mockingugh. As the radio transmitted his words, it was like thunder bursting in the quiet backseat of the car. Bai Chuwei was startled and looked down at the phone on herp¡ª Unbeknownst to her, the call had already connected. Oh no, had the person concerned heard what she just said? Chapter 78 - 078: Remember, Do Not Leave the Tutoring Class Chapter 78: Chapter 078: Remember, Do Not Leave the Tutoring ss Duan Feihan: ¡°I just got out of the elevator, so I waste answering the phone.¡± The old ancestor rarely cleared his throat with a slight cough, feeling a bit awkward, but what grand event hadn¡¯t he seen after living for so long? A thousand years ago, during a war that breached the city walls, as enemy troops swarmed in and themon people cried and fled in all directions, he could still sit leisurely at home sipping tea. Bai Chuwei curled her lips, regaining her usualziness, and said calmly, ¡°Yeah, exactly as you heard it.¡± Perhaps the ancestor had thicker skin and didn¡¯t show any shyness; on the other hand, Duan Feihan fell into silence. Seated beside, Duan Xingye: ¡°¡­¡± He really shouldn¡¯t have asked that question! Duan Feihan cleared his throat and changed the subject: ¡°Have you finished studying at ssmate Xu¡¯s ce? I¡¯ming to pick you up for dinner.¡± Bai Chuwei nced at Duan Xingye and said, ¡°Juste to the tutoring ss building downstairs to pick me up.¡± Duan Feihan responded, hung up the phone, left thepany, and drove away. Duan Xingye still had to go to the tutoring sses, which went on until ten o¡¯clock in the evening. The Duan Family¡¯s car pulled up under therge office building; workers streamed out from inside as their shifts ended. Bai Chuwei looked up and asked, ¡°Your tutoring ss is on the 28th floor?¡± Duan Xingye nodded, ¡°Yeah, buttely, the top three floors of this building have been under renovation; maybe a newpany is moving in.¡± So the tutoring ss teacher notified the students in the group not to y on the top floor, as it could be dangerous. Duan Xingye felt conflicted as he nced at the time on his phone. ¡°There are two minutes left until ss; I better head to the tutoring ss.¡± As Duan Xingye was about to get out of the car, a hand as white as jade suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist. Bai Chuwei gently tapped his forehead with her finger, ¡°Remember, don¡¯t leave the tutoring ss; we¡¯lle to pick you up after school.¡± Bai Chuwei was somewhat uneasy about this young boy and decided to leave a small spell on him. She would be alerted immediately to any trouble. Although she felt a bit sorry for the boy, Bai Chuwei still couldn¡¯t skip dinner with Duan Feihan for his sake. Duan Xingye nodded and, thinking about the incident at Xu¡¯s house, didn¡¯t take Bai Chuwei¡¯s words to heart and entered the office building with his backpack. Meanwhile, Bai Chuwei got out of the car and sat on the sofa in the first-floor lobby of the office building to wait for Duan Feihan to pick her up. After waiting for about twenty minutes, just as Bai Chuwei was close to learning all the names of the receptionist girls on the first floor, she started to grow impatient. She took out her phone, intending to call Duan Feihan, and saw a news alert. There was a major traffic ident on Xilly Road involving two trucks colliding, causing congestion, and drivers were advised to take alternate routes. Xilly Road was precisely the route Duan Feihan would take to get to the tutoring ss. No wonder he hadn¡¯t arrived yet. Bai Chuwei stood up, walked out of the office building, hailed a taxi at the entrance, and sent a WeChat message to Duan Feihan: [Your Ancestor: Hanhan, just drive to the restaurant. We¡¯ll meet there.] Bai Chuwei smiled, gave the driver the restaurant address, and the taxi set off. Inside the tutoring ss, ¡°Duan Xingye, you seem quite distracted today in ss. Is it because of the poor grade in the school¡¯s recent assessment? You need to perk up,¡± the teacher reminded Duan Xingye kindly after ss. Duan Xingye replied wearily, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m going to wash my face.¡± Duan Xingye went to the men¡¯s restroom to wash his face, his mind still a mess, and looked out through the window only to see dark clouds filling the evening sky. Duan Xingye hesitated for a moment before leaving the tutoring ss and heading straight to the rooftop. Perhaps the view of the evening from the rooftop would improve his mood. The moment his foot touched the rooftop floor, Duan Xingye¡¯s entire body tensed up, suddenly feeling somewhat out of control¡­ Chapter 79 - 079: Duan Feihan, go to the rooftop immediately Chapter 79: Chapter 079: Duan Feihan, go to the rooftop immediately A cool breeze blew in the spring evening, lifting the hem of Duan Xingye¡¯s clothes. He felt like a marite with strings, his body moving uncontrobly. Duan Xingye¡¯s face showed panic, ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± There was no one else on the rooftop but him! He struggled but it was in vain; his steps were slow as he moved inexorably toward the edge of the rooftop¡­ This was the top floor of a 32-story building; if he fell, he would surely die! ¡°Bloody Disaster.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t leave the tutoring ss.¡± Suddenly, Bai Chuwei¡¯s warning echoed in his mind like thunderps bursting around him. Duan Xingye had never contemted death; he had been working so hard for his college entrance examination, he had so many dreams¡­ Duan Xingye¡¯s handsome face turned deathly pale, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead. Step by step he moved forward, shouting with the loudest roar he had ever made in his life, ¡°Is anyone there? Can anyone hear me? Help¡ª!¡± The tutoring ss was on the twenty-eighth floor, and the top three floors were unupied due to renovations, and even the construction workers had left for the day since it was evening. Duan Xingye screamed until his voice was hoarse, with veins bulging on his forehead, neck, and arms, yet his legs did not pause for even a moment. Panic surged like a tidal wave, threatening to drown himpletely. It suddenly dawned on Duan Xingye that he had righteously told Bai Chuwei to believe in science, and now deep regret and terror churned inside him. ¡°Help¡ª!¡± * Bai Chuwei was sitting in a cab, and the driver, clearly captivated by her beauty, kept trying to make conversation with her. Suddenly, Bai Chuwei¡¯szy eyes snapped into focus, a cold light shing in them, ¡°Not good! Duan Xingye, that idiot!¡± Bai Chuwei cursed under her breath; hadn¡¯t she told him not to leave the tutoring ss? Even the boldest Demonic Cultivator wouldn¡¯t dare make a move in a crowded ce, especially not a tutoring ss that could easily stir up public opinion! Bai Chuwei ignored the driverpletely and the driver had no choice but to keep quiet and drive. Bai Chuwei took out her phone and called Duan Feihan; the call was answered quickly and in the background, she could faintly hear the sound of a car door closing. Bai Chuwei spoke rapidly, ¡°Duan Feihan, where are you right now?¡± Only then did Duan Feihan see the message Bai Chuwei had sent him and he frowned, ¡°I didn¡¯t see your message because of traffic just now; I¡¯m already at Xingye¡¯s tutoring ss.¡± Bai Chuweimanded, ¡°Quick, go to the top floor right now; something¡¯s happened to Duan Xingye.¡± When Duan Feihan heard Bai Chuwei¡¯s slightly shrill voice, he instantly understood there was an emergency. He abandoned his ck sedan without properly parking and ran towards the elevator, pressing for the top floor. The wind lifted the hem of the man¡¯s ck suit jacket, which had a few buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his well-shaped waist and abdomen. Duan Feihan didn¡¯t ask why or what had happened exactly. This youngdy, Bai Chuwei, would not joke about such things. ¡°It¡¯s no use¡­ The top floor of the 32-story building, there might not be enough time,¡± Bai Chuwei muttered to herself with closed eyes. It would take about two minutes to ride the elevator from the first floor to the top. Two minutes was more than enough time for Duan Xingye to jump. A surge of intense anger suddenly flooded her; she had lived for over five thousand years and never suffered such indignity. Under her watch, who dared toy a finger on Duan Xingye? The anxious voice on the phone in the cab suddenly stopped, and just as the driver was about to say something tofort the beautiful youngdy, his gaze fell on the rearview mirror, his pupils dted, and his mind went nk. The driver stomped on the brakes and turned his head toward the back seat¡ª. The back seat was empty, as if no one had ever been there. Chapter 80 - 080: Bai Chuwei, Save Me!! Chapter 80: Chapter 080: Bai Chuwei, Save Me!! The car doors were locked tight, there had been no sound of them opening¡­ The driver was stunned for a full minute before letting out a piercing scream, ¡°There¡¯s a ghost!!!¡± * The wind on the rooftop howled fiercely, tossing the young boy¡¯s wispy bangs into disarray. Duan Xingye climbed uncontrobly onto the edge of the roof, looking down at the bustling traffic and hurrying pedestrians below, like tiny ants on the move. Falling down would surely result in a shattered body. His legs shook and shivered wildly, cold sweat had drenched his clothes as if he had been fished out of water. Thinking of Bai Chuwei¡¯s warnings over and over, Duan Xingye¡¯s voice was tinged with a hint of crying, ¡°Help me!¡± ¡°Bai Chuwei, save me!!¡± The only response was the rooftop¡¯s cold wind. Duan Xingye faintly heard the sound of an elevator door opening, but as he took a step forward, the hope that had just risen within him shatteredpletely. He stepped out, finding nothing but air beneath his feet! At that very moment, a faint scent of fragrance rushed towards him, and Bai Chuwei suddenly appeared, as if she stepped on a myriad of starlight, and in that moment Duan Xingye thought he saw a god. ¡°Hey, you unlucky child.¡± The girl fell from the rooftop edge with him. ¡°Duan Xingye! Bai Chuwei!¡± A familiar, anxious roar came from behind. Duan Feihan burst out from the elevator, and in the instant he stepped in, he saw Bai Chuwei and Duan Xingye falling from the rooftop, one after the other. Above the rooftop, only the wind remained. Beyond that, a dead silence. Duan Feihan rushed to the edge of the rooftop, his palms¡¯ veins standing out as he gripped the railing tight, looking down. Below, a crowd of onlookers had gathered, their details blurred to him, and his blood ran cold in an instant. Duan Xingye¡­ Bai Chuwei¡­ One was his nephew, the other was his¡­ He had watched them both fall. Once again in his life, he experienced such an event, the overwhelming fear of his youth resurfacing, surging forth. Back then, his mother had also jumped from a window. That day, he had lost a family member. Today, his nephew and Bai Chuwei had jumped from the rooftop¡­ Duan Feihan¡¯s face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. ¡°Chuwei¡­ Xingye¡­¡± Duan Feihan murmured their names and turned to run toward the elevator, frantically pressing the buttons. When the elevator didn¡¯t arrive, Duan Feihan cursed quietly, turned, and rushed toward the fire escape, his long legs rapidly descending¡ª * ¡°I¡¯m dead, I¡¯m dead.¡± Duan Xingye had wanted to try bungee jumping before, but not anymore¡ªhe had experienced the sensation of weightlessness as the floors of high-rises shed rapidly by beneath him, quickly approaching the ground and imminent shattering. Bai Chuwei, carrying him, rolled a few times on the ground, as ifnding on ayer of soft feathers. Bai Chuwei looked at Duan Xingye lying at the bottom of the building, muttering that he was about to die, and it pained her ears. Rubbing her ears, her face full of distaste, she kicked him, ¡°Do you want me to let you really experience death?¡± Duan Xingye: ¡°?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s voice¡ªwere they both in hell together? Bystanders gathered around, pointing and murmuring in surprise. ¡°Did these twomit a double suicide?¡± ¡°Did they just jump off the building? They look like students, right?¡± ¡°Where is the security? What exactly happened?¡± ¡°¡­¡± More and more people gathered at the entrance of the office building. A dark figure dashed out of the building, fast as an arrow released from its bow. The man, with a grim, ashen face, came running out and on spotting the white figure standing among the crowd, he stretched out a long arm to enfold the girl tightly in his embrace, his arms burning hot as if brandishing iron. Chapter 81 - 081: This is an Immortal! Chapter 81: Chapter 081: This is an Immortal! Duan Feihan¡¯s usually calm voice carried a hint of tremor, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Bai Chuwei took a deep breath of the spiritual energy emanating from his body, suddenly feeling that this wave wasn¡¯t a loss. Bai Chuwei decisively wrapped her arms around Duan Feihan, and her slender fingers stiffened upon touching the man¡¯s impably straight back. Duan Feihan¡¯s suit was soaked with cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of water. He¡­ seemed to have gone mad with worry. The young girl in his arms gave no response and simply squeezed further into his embrace, prompting the man with the maic voice to abruptly raise his tone, ¡°What exactly is wrong with you?¡± Duan Feihan pulled her away, his crimson eyes looking at her intently. The girl¡¯s skin was fair, her stunning face showing no pores, and at this moment, only her dress was a little dusty as her bright eyes stared straight at him. Hug, already! Why won¡¯t you hug me now? Duan Feihan¡¯s broad palm had already reached her face, his fingers tracing her cheek, moving through her ck hair to the back of her head. It was only then that Bai Chuwei reacted, struggling slightly as she said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, how could I possibly be hurt?¡± Regretfully ncing at Duan Feihan, Bai Chuwei walked towards Duan Xingye and unceremoniously kicked him, ¡°How much longer are you going to lie there? Did your great ancestor not warn you not to leave the tutoring ss? Wait for me and your uncle to finish dinner ande pick you up, will you?¡± It suddenly dawned on Bai Chuwei that she might not have paid the taxi fare when she took the cab? Duan Xingye sat up from the ground, staring nkly at the crowd that had gathered around to watch. He looked at his own arm, perfectly unharmed. There was no blood on the ground, and his intestines and brain matter hadn¡¯t sttered out¡­ How could this be? ¡°Strange, strange, falling from the top floor and both unscathed?¡± ¡°My goodness, it¡¯s my first time seeing someone jump from so high and not be hurt at all!¡± ¡°Are these two aliens or what?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Discussions erupted among the onlookers, with some well-meaning individuals asking if they needed an ambnce. Duan Xingye scrambled to his feet, his eyes excitedly fixed on Bai Chuwei. He wasn¡¯t dead? He had actually survived! He remembered that Bai Chuwei had appeared out of thin air; there was no one on the rooftop at the time¡­ If not for Bai Chuwei, he might have been smashed to death! Duan Xingye blurted out excitedly and somewhat incoherently, ¡°Weiwei, my goddess, was it you who saved me? I¡­¡± Is this even human? She had taken him with her in a jump from a hundred-meter height off the thirty-second floor, unscathed. Not only was he uninjured, but with his current physical condition, he could even write another set of exam papers! An immortal indeed! My goddess! The entrance of the office building was noisy with the news of someone jumping off. The security guards were nearly scared out of their wits. Someone jumped off a building? They heard it was a young student, which made the situation even more serious. A group of security guards rushed towards the crowd and saw two students, unharmed; the boy was even dancing with excitement, while the girl stood with her arms crossed and a nonchnt expression, making it hard to tell at a nce whether either of them had mental health issues. The eyes of the head security guardnded on theparatively more normal Duan Feihan and he inquired, ¡°May I ask your rtionship with them?¡± Duan Feihan gave Duan Xingye a sidelong nce and said, ¡°He¡¯s my nephew.¡± The security guards¡¯ captain nodded, as if suddenly realizing something, and then asked, ¡°Oh, then the other one is your nephew¡¯s girlfriend?¡± Having never cursed in his life, Duan Feihan felt a surge of icy irritation upon hearing this question, and shot back indignantly, ¡°Not in the slightest!¡± Duan Feihan¡­ seemed to be quite angry, visibly shaken, his whole body emanating an overwhelming chill that made the onlookers step back subconsciously. Standing there, Bai Chuwei frowned but eventually asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to treat me to dinner?¡± Having casually saved his nephew, they couldn¡¯t really skip treating her to a meal, could they? Chapter 82 - 082: Want to Kowtow? Then Go Ahead Chapter 82: Chapter 082: Want to Kowtow? Then Go Ahead Bai Chuwei was beautiful and smart, often giving off an elusive sense of mystery, yet sometimes she seemed a bit cute. Duan Feihan nced down at her serious face, and suddenly all his irritation vanishedpletely. Duan Feihan let out a breath, saying in a deep voice, ¡°Please.¡± Bai Chuwei received the answer she wanted and finally diverted her gaze, only for it to abruptly freeze¡ª Duan Xingye, as if possessed, squatted on the cement floor. First, he touched it with his palm and then threw a punch down hard, ¡°Ouch, so painful!¡± Bai Chuwei looked at Duan Xingye with the kind of expression one reserves for an idiot. Had all the good genes in the Duan Family really been inherited by Duan Feihan alone? Was Duan Xingye somewhat of a fool? Duan Feihan, seeing Duan Xingye¡¯s behavior, felt a surge of anger rise within him and chided coldly, ¡°What are you doing now?¡± Duan Xingye got up, excitedly saying, ¡°Fourth Uncle, when Weiwei and I fell just now, I felt as if Inded on a cloud of cotton, not painful at all.¡± It was so magical, truly too magical! The people around them all looked at the two with the same expression one would give to a lunatic. Bai Chuwei held her forehead, silently distancing herself from the gesticting Duan Xingye and moved a little towards Duan Feihan¡¯s direction. They were not of the same kind; she was not sick. The crowd gradually dispersed, but security would not let them leave, saying the police had been called and would arrive soon. Duan Xingye was still immersed in the ¡°bungee jumping¡± vibe when he suddenly heard Bai Chuwei ask with a smile, ¡°Duan Xingye, do you believe in metaphysics now?¡± Duan Xingye came back to his senses and shook his head, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± Tsk¡ª Immediately after, Duan Xingye¡¯s smile blossomed, and he eximed with fervor, ¡°But I¡¯ll believe in you from now on.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s face darkened, ¡°¡­¡± He was invincible in the business world, but it seems he really had something to learn from his own nephew when it came to the art of speaking. Duan Feihan nced at the entrance of the office building and saw a cleaningdy pushing a trash cart passing by; suddenly, he had the urge to throw his nephew into it. If he said this to those young girls, they would probably be smitten, but s, Bai Chuwei had lived too long; the number of people who had pursued her, if not ten thousand, then definitely nine thousand, she couldn¡¯t be swayed. Duan Xingye made such a remark without any other intention, purely to express his gratitude. ¡°But why did this happen to me? I was just intending to go up to the rooftop to get some air, but as soon as I got up there, I couldn¡¯t control my steps!¡± Duan Xingye¡¯s face began to grow pale as he spoke. Bai Chuwei said with disdain, ¡°Still don¡¯t get it? Your birth data has been leaked.¡± Duan Xingye was startled, his brain going nk, as he turned to look at Duan Feihan. Birthdays were easy to know, but the specific time of birth and astrology were known only by family members. So this meant it must have been leaked by someone in his family¡­ People like his third uncle and fourth uncle would never talk about such things. Unless¡ª Duan Xingye suddenly thought of that watch in Xu Xingchen¡¯s house and seemed to have a sudden realization. Duan Feihan observed Duan Xingye looking unwell and said in a deep voice, ¡°I will get to the bottom of this.¡± This matter must have a lot to do with someone in the Duan Family. Duan Xingye forced a smile, suddenly recalling that Bai Chuwei had appeared abruptly and figured it must have a lot to do with that touch on his forehead before he got out of the car. Duan Xingye smiled gratefully at Bai Chuwei, ¡°Weiwei, thank you for saving me. I really wish I could kowtow to you.¡± Bai Chuwei flicked her eyelid, raising her chinzily, ¡°Oh? You want to kowtow? Well, go ahead then.¡± Duan Xingye: ¡°¡­¡± Duan Feihan: ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 83 - 083 Thank Dad for Saving My Life!! Chapter 83: Chapter 083 Thank Dad for Saving My Life!! Bai Chuweiughed, ¡°Kneel, if you want to kneel, I can handle it.¡± Duan Xingye felt somewhat embarrassed, with so many people watching outside, it wasn¡¯t appropriate, was it? Duan Feihan spoke indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ll remember this for you first.¡± During the conversation, a series of police sirens came from afar, speeding towards them. The police had received a report of a student suspected of a love-driven suicide jump from a rooftop and had immediately dispatched officers to the scene. Seeing the two lively individuals, the police were somewhat taken aback; they had expected to find a bloody mess of a body: ¡°Well, you should stille back with us to make a statement.¡± Duan Xingye followed closely behind Bai Chuwei, fearing that she would leave him behind, scampering to sit next to Bai Chuwei in the back of the police car. Then, a cool voice came from behind: ¡°Sit in the front.¡± Duan Feihan pulled him aside and strode up to the car first. Duan Xingye: ¡°¡­? Uncle Si, you don¡¯t want your car anymore?¡± Without changing his expression, Duan Feihan said, ¡°I told the driver toe get it. You sit in the front.¡± Grumbling inwardly, Duan Xingye obediently moved to sit in the passenger seat, much to the amazement of the observing police officers. At the police station, Bai Chuwei sat beside Duan Xingye, watching him talk excitedly, while she remained silent throughout. ¡°You¡¯re saying¡­ you were possibly manipted into jumping off the rooftop, but you survived the fall unscathed?¡± The police officer looked at Duan Xingye with a sense of exasperation, tempted to send him for a psychiatric evaluation first. Duan Xingye earnestly replied, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right!¡± The officer chuckled dryly, cursing inwardly about illness, then turned to look at Bai Chuwei¡­ and his face turned green! The young girl, with the statement form A4 paper given to her, was seriously folding a paper crane¡­ These two are definitely mentally ill! But one must admit, the paper crane was quite lifelike, with its two little white wings and sharp little beak, proudly raising its head. After finishing the paper crane, Bai Chuweizily lifted her eyelids and asked, ¡°Is the statement done? Okay, I¡¯ll be heading back now, I haven¡¯t eaten yet.¡± With no crimemitted and the possibility of mental illness, the police had no choice but to release them. Exiting the police station, the sky outside had already darkenedpletely, with a few scattered stars twinkling in the night. Duan Feihan¡¯s ck luxury car was parked by the entrance, but there was no sign of where he had gone. Carrying the paper crane, Bai Chuwei leaned against the hood of Duan Feihan¡¯s luxury car, casually saying to Duan Xingye, ¡°Give me the pen.¡± Duan Xingye was now utterly obedient to Bai Chuwei, hastily taking out a signing pen and holding it out to her with both hands. Perhaps out of fear, he became even more talkative, Duan Xingye bbered on, ¡°Weiwei, do you think I still have a Bloody Disastering? Is my face dark? Is someone out to harm me?¡± Bai Chuwei turned a deaf ear, her slender fingers taking the pen to write a sentence on the wing of the paper crane: ¡°Roll over here within three days.¡± Duan Xingye saw that Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t respond and, scared, moved closer to her, ¡°I¡¯m scared, I want to go to your house¡­¡± Bai Chuwei pinched the red signing pen and lightly touched the eyes of the paper crane with it. In the instant of bringing the finishing touch, the paper crane seemed toe to life, its little wings pping in the air. Bai Chuwei gently lifted her palm, ¡°Go.¡± The little paper crane, pping its wings, flew into the night sky. Duan Xingye: ¡°!!! Holy shit!¡± Duan Xingye¡¯s eyes bulged, and his legs went soft as he knelt in front of Bai Chuwei, giving an earnest bow towards the ground, ¡°Thank you, daddy, for saving my life!!¡± Seeing this scene as he returned from buying bread for them at the supermarket, Duan Feihan was speechless: ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 84 - 084 I’ve been fasting for a long time, I’m not hungry Chapter 84: Chapter 084 I¡¯ve been fasting for a long time, I¡¯m not hungry The paper crane came to life¡­ Is this some kind of movie special effect? Duan Xingye was sure he had encountered a master, or maybe he had really met a Little Fairy! Duan Xingye knocked his head on the ground ten times in a row, until he felt dizzy. Bai Chuwei leaned against the luxury car, quiteposed as she epted Duan Xingye¡¯s kowtows, then corrected with great disdain, ¡°Call me ancestor, not daddy. I do not have such a foolish son.¡± Duan Xingye: ¡°Ancestor!¡± Tsk, so obedient. Duan Feihan walked back, handing a piece of bread to each of them. Duan Xingye wiped the blood from his forehead and took it with relief. Bai Chuwei nced at it but didn¡¯t reach out. ¡°I¡¯ve been fasting for a long time, I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Duan Xingye, eating his bread in big bites, swallowed a chunk forcefully and let out an obsequiouspliment, ¡°A big shot who fasts? Ancestor, you¡¯re so badass, I give you props!¡± Duan Feihan cast a cool nce at Duan Xingye and looked at Bai Chuwei with a maic voice that was gentle, ¡°Eat something first, I¡¯ll take you out for a feastter.¡± The youngdy has always been picky about her food, Duan Feihan added. Bai Chuwei looked at the man¡¯s profound features in the night, and for a moment, she was slightly startled. Over the course of five thousand years, numerous people had treated her as an ancestor and worshipped her respectfully, but he seemed to be the second man who took care of her and cherished her as a young girl¡­ Bai Chuwei felt a bit strange inside, stretched out her hand to take the bag of bread, while Duan Feihan stood by her side, twisting open a bottle of mineral water and handing it to her. Duan Xingye: ¡°¡­¡± The treatment was really good, his fourth uncle had never even served his grandfather like this. Bai Chuwei ate slowly, her movements always graceful. Moonlight fell on her, and with the spring breeze, some petals gentlynded on the crown of her head, making her beauty seem almost unreal. No wonder there were rumors that an immortal lived on Yunwu Mountain¡­ Duan Xingye ate quickly and once finished, began to talk non-stop, ¡°Weiwei, could someone still be out to harm me? What should I do?¡± Duan Xingye said bashfully, ¡°Can I stay at your ce tonight? I¡­ I can sleep on the floor at the doorstep.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s face darkenedpletely. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about, Duan Xingye?!¡± Duan Xingye shrank his neck and started to sip from the bottle of mineral water, looking down. Bai Chuwei nced at him while eating her bread and humphed lightly, ¡°What are you afraid of? If you didn¡¯t die, his formation has already been broken, he¡¯s the one in trouble now.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s deep eyes narrowed sharply, catching the important point in Bai Chuwei¡¯s words, ¡°Do you know who it is?¡± Bai Chuwei shrugged, ¡°I know, a master of Feng Shui from Haicheng, he should have some skills. People call him Master Sun.¡± With the trouble Duan Xingye stirred up, the Duan Family was bound to investigate. It wouldn¡¯t hurt to share some information. Of course, she was also waiting for Master Sun toe to her on his own within three days. The ancestor was always quite kind, always giving people a chance to mend their ways. Once Master Sun arrives, she¡¯ll let him choose whether he wants to break a leg or an arm. When Duan Feihan heard the words ¡°master of Feng Shui¡±, his brows, as beautiful as distant mountains, furrowed deeply. He stepped forward to open the car door, ¡°Good, I¡¯ve noted it. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to dinner first.¡± The three of them got into the car one after the other, the ck sedan vanishing into the night. No sooner had they left than a taxi arrived from the distance at the police station. A trembling driver got out and ran inside, crying¡ª ¡°Officer, officer, I¡¯ve got something important to report.¡± Chapter 85: Want You to Be Mine Chapter 85: Want You to Be Mine Duan Feihan brought them to the five-star restaurant he had reserved earlier. As the evening sky deepened, there weren¡¯t many people in the restaurant. Having survived a disaster, Duan Xingye indulged himself with chopsticks in hand. Bai Chuwei ate a few bites without much interest. Duan Feihan, whose deep maic voice wasced with concern, asked, ¡°Doesn¡¯t it suit your taste?¡± Duan Xingye mumbled with his mouth full, ¡°Yeah, Weiwei, weren¡¯t you always looking forward to having a dinner date with my Uncle Duan? Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s gaze was filled with disdain. Was eating the point? She had practiced fasting five thousand years ago, so eating was at most a hobby for her, definitely not a necessity. After some thought, Bai Chuwei put down her chopsticks and looked at Duan Feihan with a shining gaze. Her gaze was pure and unabashed, making Duan Feihan feel almost as if she was stripping away his clothes¡­ ¡°Lord Duan,¡± Bai Chuwei said with a slight smile, st time I saved your father, and this time I saved your nephew. Surely you should show some gratitude.¡± Duan Xingye spoke up, ¡°My dad is also rich.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Bai Chuwei shot a re back. Was her great ancestor short of money? Did she care about that little bit of money? Ten Duan Familiesbined wouldn¡¯t have half the wealth she had! With a shallow smile brimming in her eyes and a twinkle of stars, Bai Chuwei gazed at him, and Duan Feihan¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple moved unconsciously, ¡°Do you¡­ want me to hold you?¡± Last time Bai Chuwei had the same request, and the three billion were just a bonus. ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± If he held her, she wouldn¡¯t have to take the bitter Spiritual Medicine today, so saving Duan Xingye was a good deal. Duan Feihan knew that Bai Chuwei¡¯s request for a hug meant nothing more and nodded, ¡°Okay.¡± Only after getting the answer she wanted did Bai Chuwei pick up her chopsticks and start to eat. By the time they left the restaurant, it was past nine o¡¯clock at night, and the spring breeze felt a bit chilly. Duan Xingye was stubbornly begging Bai Chuwei to let him stay at the Bai Family house for the night, which was giving her a headache. The three of them exited the restaurant to find its entrance glimmering with lights as several valets were trying to shoo away a little girl selling flowers. ¡°Great ancestor, I almost died today, and I¡¯m bound to have nightmares tonight. Please let mee with you,¡± Duan Xingye continued to plead in her ear. Bai Chuwei¡¯s gaze moved from the noisy Duan Xingye to the peaceful and still Duan Feihan. With Duan Xingye¡¯s temperament, he was unlikely to have nightmares; the one who was likely to have a rough night was¡­ Duan Feihan. A simr death of his mother in front of him in his childhood caused him twenty years of nightmares. Now, with his nephew¡¯s fall, it would surely be a difficult night for him. Indeed, Duan Feihan had not nned on sleeping that night and intended to spend it reviewing documents in the study. Bai Chuwei suddenly stepped into the cool night breeze, took out a hundred-dor bill, and handed it to the flower-selling girl being chased away: ¡°Give me one, the rest is a tip.¡± The little girl was delighted, calling out ¡®Sister Fairy¡¯ non-stop. Bai Chuwei took the vibrant red rose, her fair fingers gently caressing its tender petals as she cast a small spell to aid sleep, then she walked towards the man under the dim streetmp with a gentle smile. Not until Bai Chuwei handed him the red rose did Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes grow even deeper. ¡°For you, I hope this flower brings you sweet dreams tonight.¡± The group, led by Duan Xingye at the entrance, watched in astonishment. A young girl giving a rose to a grown man? Duan Feihan looked at the rose and steadied his voice, ¡°Why give me a rose?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curled slightly, casting a normally enchanting allure under the warmmp light, ¡°I¡¯m showing favor, I want you to be mine.¡± Bai Chuwei had figured it out; rather than always asking for hugs, it was better to make him hers, just like Qi Mo and the other supremely wealthy families. Then, wouldn¡¯t she be free to cuddle and hold him as she pleased? Chapter 86 - 086 I Refuse Chapter 86: Chapter 086 I Refuse Bai Chuwei held a rose in her hand, the petals with dew gently brushing against the man¡¯s chest, akin to a breeze of spring passing by. She leaned in very close, her voice seductive as she said, ¡°How about following me? I can make you the richest man in China, and I can protect you.¡± This was how the renowned eight great families of China came to be, seeking their ancestors¡¯ blessings and willingly serving them generation after generation. Duan Xingye blurted out from the side, ¡°Isn¡¯t this just asking someone to be ackey?¡± He was willing, oh, how he wished to sign up! Tsk¡ªwould bing an ancestor¡¯sckey treat you unfairly? Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes, which were slightly bright just moments before, gradually turned cold. He stepped back, creating distance from Bai Chuwei, and his thin lips suddenly pressed into a straight line as he said indifferently, ¡°I refuse.¡± Bai Chuwei was taken aback, ¡°?¡± Refuse? In these five thousand years, whenever she had made a request, there had never been anyone who refused her. Then Bai Chuwei quickly realized, Duan Feihan was no ordinary Joe; he was the future major antagonist, who persisted until the grand finale, nearly killing the male and female leads with his wildly vicious methods. After all, he was the one who, with his own power, led the Duan Family to gradually surpass the eight great families. Tsk, the future antagonist is really arrogant. Bai Chuwei smiled, her fingers lightly curling a strand of her hair, and walked towards him. With her slender fingers holding the red rose, she gently inserted it into the pocket on the left side of Duan Feihan¡¯s shirt, embraced the man¡¯s strong and towering yet slightly stiff body, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll wait for you toe to me anytime. Being an ancestor¡¯sckey is worth it.¡± ¡°Sweet dreams to you.¡± She took a deep breath of the spiritual energy from his body, satisfied, she let go of him, retreated with a beaming smile into the night, and got into the Bai Family¡¯s private car that was not far away, before driving off. Duan Xingye was utterly entranced, repeating over and over, ¡°I¡¯m willing, if Uncle Four isn¡¯t, I am!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s expression cooled as he reprimanded in a low voice. Duan Xingye felt somewhat aggrieved. Uncle Four hadn¡¯t seen Bai Chuwei¡¯s tactics just now. He truly believed that being Bai Chuwei¡¯sckey was a good deal; he didn¡¯t understand what his uncle was thinking. Maybe as the heir of the Duan Family, there was a kind of pride and dignity. * The spring night was gentle, and a white paper crane fluttered its small wings in the air. Its eyes, marked with a red marker, were as crimson as blood, unnoticed by anyone in the night. The paper crane flew into a dpidated courtyard andnded on the desk. About ten minutester, a middle-aged man with a pale face and unsteady steps walked in from outside, his gaze immediately falling on the paper crane on the desk. What is this? Where did ite from? A feeling of unease suddenly rose in Sun Dayong¡¯s heart. He hurried forward, grabbed the paper crane, and saw a message written on its small wings, ¡°Come over within three days.¡± Sun Dayong took a sharp intake of cold air, his face growing uglier by the second. Could it be from the person who messed up his ns? He unfolded it and saw that this paper was no ordinary paper; it was a police statement form¡­ Does that mean the police already know? A wave of panic surged through Sun Dayong, and his malicious eyes stared fixedly at the elegant handwriting, clenching his teeth tightly. In the past twenty-plus years, the world¡¯s spiritual energy began to gradually recover, and superpower users emerged abroad while China saw an increase in cultivators. He was a demonic cultivator who progressed extremely fast in his practice. When had he ever been treated like this? Sun Dayong¡¯s eyes were dark and sinister as he muttered, ¡°Who do you think you are tomand me toe over?¡± Sun Dayong vehemently spat on the floor and tore the paper crane to shreds on the spot! Chapter 87 - 087: Youve Lost All of the Duan Familys Face Chapter 87: Chapter 087: You¡¯ve Lost All of the Duan Family¡¯s Face As soon as Bai Chuwei left, Duan Xingye¡¯s excitement gradually dissipated, and thinking of those incidents, his emotions became even more chaotic. When Duan Feihan and Duan Xingye returned to the Duan Family¡¯s traditional Linhai Vi, one after the other, they saw lights still on in the hall as they entered the outdoor garden from afar. As they entered the hall, a fierce voice of a middle-aged man came crashing down on them like a thunderbolt, ¡°Duan Xingye, you still know how toe back?¡± Dressed in a suit, Duan Xiuhao turned to the old master of the family, who was already able to get off the sofa, and said with fury thates from dissatisfied expectations, ¡°Dad, this is your eldest grandson! Instead of preparing for his college entrance examinations, he¡¯s spending his time on romance. That would be bad enough, but today, he even attempted a suicide pact by jumping off a building with some disreputable girl! This boy haspletely thrown away the face of our Duan family!¡± The incident of Duan Xingye and a girl attempting a suicide pact by jumping off the roof of the tutoring ss had already spread throughout the high society circle of Haicheng. Duan Xiuhao would never believe in such ghost stories about jumping off a roof anding out without a scratch. He reckoned it was just a plot by the kid to attract attention! He had utterly lost the face of the Duan family. Duan Xiuhao spat out his words as he scolded, ¡°You are spending your time on these kinds of stunts instead of learning from your good friend Xu Xingchen!¡± Duan Xingye looked at his father sitting next to his grandfather, and as he met that face which bore a striking resemnce to his own, filled with disdain, his heart gradually cooled down, and a mocking smile hung on his lips. Duan Xiuhao was instantly provoked by Duan Xingye¡¯s mocking smile, his anger ring up as he turned his head to the old master and said, ¡°Dad, it looks like you¡¯ll soon recover from your illness. At your banquet, I will introduce you to some outstanding young people.¡± Before the old master could even respond, Duan Xingye said with a cold tone, ¡°Dad, do you know why I jumped off the building today?¡± Duan Xiuhao was momentarily stunned, then immediately said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to know. What I know is that you¡¯ve brought disgrace to our Duan family. Look, everyone in Haicheng¡¯s circle is talking about this incident.¡± ¡°Brought disgrace?¡± Duan Xingye murmured to himself, then suddenlyughed mockingly, changing his tone as he spoke, ¡°Dad, what about the watch I gave youst year? Howe I haven¡¯t seen you wear it?¡± Duan Xiuhao touched his empty wrist and then, meeting Duan Xingye¡¯s deep gaze, felt a sudden panic inside him. As if to cover his own guilty conscience, he shouted louder as he scolded, ¡°Don¡¯t change the subject!¡± In Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes, Duan Xingye was just a na?ve and sweet boy, but even someone na?ve and sweet has their temper. The eighteen-year-old, towering young man¡¯s eyes reddened as he mmed the door hard and left. Everyone in the hall was stunned. Who didn¡¯t know that the young master Duan Xingye had immense respect for his father? mming the door today? Duan Xiuhao continued his tirade, ¡°Look at this behavior! How did I end up with such a disgrace of a son? If I had known earlier, I would have had him aborted while he was still in his mother¡¯s womb!¡± Then, thinking of Xu Xingchen, Duan Xiuhao felt a warmth in his heart¡ªthat was his good son! The low and steady voice of a man suddenly rose, ¡°Big brother has gone bankrupt in severalpanies in a row.¡± The speaker was¡ªDuan Feihan. As soon as Duan Feihan spoke, Duan Xiuhao clenched his teeth in secret. Were it not for hisck of ability, how could the inheritance have fallen into the hands of his youngest brother, Duan Feihan? Duan Xiuhao had held great expectations for his son Duan Xingye, hoping that this son could take back the power of the Duan family from Duan Feihan¡¯s hands, but Duan Xingye had deeply disappointed him. Now, the only one he could rely on was the child Xu Xingchen, perhaps he could snatch back the financial power of the Duan family. Chapter 88 - 088 Who is the woman he dreamed of? Chapter 88: Chapter 088 Who is the woman he dreamed of? The atmosphere in the hall was quite static and mysterious. Tong Yunrou, sitting next to Duan Xiuqi, started with a smile, breaking the stiffness in the room, ¡°Fourth Master, are you nning to give this rose to a girl? Just one won¡¯t be enough.¡± At this, everyone¡¯s attention turned to the rose in Duan Feihan¡¯s hands. The red rose petals were delicate, dotted with a few droplets of water, and extremely beautiful. Duan Feihan looked down at it, his usually icy gaze softened somewhat, and he said indifferently, ¡°It was a gift from a girl.¡± Having said that, Duan Feihan instructed the elder to rest early, casually picked up a blue and white porcin vase from the first floor¡¯s hall, and went straight back to his own courtyard. Duan Feihan entered his spacious and bright bedroom, which exuded a minimalist and cool style. The blue and white porcin vase was filled with clean water, and the rose took residence within it, ced on the bedside table. As Bai Chuwei had said, it was time to rest for the night. Inside the Duan Family hall, everyone was wide-eyed and speechless. A servant eximed in shock, ¡°Did the Fourth Master really take that blue and white porcin vase to¡­ nurture the rose? That vase seems to be worth over sixty million, doesn¡¯t it?¡± Sixty million for an antique to hold a mere rose?? They couldn¡¯t understand the world of the wealthy. Tong Yunrou covered her lips and chuckled, ¡°What matters is not the rose itself, but the person who gave the rose.¡± Duan Xiuqi, who had been silent beside her, subconsciously touched the rose bracelet on his left wrist. Tong Yunrou¡¯s smile froze in an instant, and she inwardly regretted bringing up the topic. Duan Xiuqi remembered that Bai Chu also liked roses and was skilled at flower arranging. He recalled that after Bai Chu had been taken away by the young Duan Feihan, she hadn¡¯t left anything behind, except for the freshly trimmed roses in a vase on the table, with dew still clinging to the petals. It was so quietly beautiful that he thought she had just gone out for a while, and would soon return. Of course, she never came back. Later, he preserved the only bunch of roses Bai Chu left behind using a special technique and made it into a rose bracelet, which he had worn for twenty years. Duan Xiuqi was very professional in the entertainment industry, never arguing with anyone. The only time was when he removed his bracelet for an underwater advertisement and handed it to a staff member, nearly losing it. That was the one time he lost his temper, shocking the entire entertainment industry. After sending Tong Yunrou away, Duan Xiuqi, sensing her unease, tried to probe, ¡°Xiuqi, our wedding ising up soon. The bracelet doesn¡¯t match the wedding attire. When will you take it off?¡± ¡°On the day of the wedding. I have things to attend to now, so I won¡¯t see you out.¡± He had waited for twenty years, and perhaps the day of the wedding would be the end of that wait. Tong Yunrou watched Duan Xiuqi¡¯s retreating figure, her beautiful eyes shining with determination. Bai Chu, you can have the money, but you better not show up. If you ruin my wedding, I¡¯ll make you pay with your life! * Bai Chuwei wasn¡¯t worried about Duan Xingye, but she couldn¡¯t help feeling somewhat anxious about Duan Feihan. She wondered if he had obediently taken the rose she gave him to sleep with? Because she was inexplicably worried, Bai Chuwei even made a special trip to Duan Feihan¡¯s dreamscape. It was the Duan Family¡¯srge vi as usual, only the sky was a brilliant blue with a few white clouds drifting by, and the sunshine was radiant, unlike the gloomy darkness she had seen before. It seemed he had indeed gone to sleep with the rose she had given him. Thinking this, Bai Chuwei suddenly saw two figures appear not far away. Duan Feihan was holding a girl on the lushwn, their behavior quite intimate. Bai Chuwei: ? She gave him the rose to ensure he had a good night¡¯s sleep. How did he end up having an X-rated dream? And who was the woman in his dream? Chapter 89 - 089: Duan Feihan Doesnt Seem Like an Ordinary Person Chapter 89: Chapter 089: Duan Feihan Doesn¡¯t Seem Like an Ordinary Person You should know that in the original text, Duan Feihan, the viin, was simply a tool; the author never depicted him having a partner. So, Ancestor Weiwei was quite curious about who the girl in his dreams was, faintly feeling that the girl¡¯s silhouette seemed familiar. Bai Chuwei was always a doer, and upon thinking this, she acted ordingly. She walked tiptoeing quietly, moving stealthily behind the two of them and peeping over their shoulders. Before Bai Chuwei could make out the face of the girl in Duan Feihan¡¯s dream, a cold wind blew through the dream, jolting her awake, her eyes fixed intently on the snowy white ceiling. By her side, Xue Qiu started squeaking, ¡®Ancestor, howe you woke up so soon?¡¯ Bai Chuwei sat up in bed, her dark hair flowing loosely, her gaze suddenly filled with doubt. She had lived a solitary life for over five thousand years. Without any exaggeration, billions of people around the world would respectfully address her as Ancestor. In those five thousand years, she lived as she pleased, able to visit anyone¡¯s dream at whim without ever failing. Thest time she entered Duan Feihan¡¯s dream, it took her quite an effort to get in. This time, she had been abruptly thrown out??? This indicated that the Dream Master had a very strong sense of self and was not an ordinary person¡­ But then she thought of how Duan Feihan was equivalent to a natural Spiritual Qi Repository, and she felt relieved. This gear setup, indeed, was fitting for a future top-tier viin boss. Just a pity, she didn¡¯t get a clear view of the woman he dreamed of snuggling up with. * The police station operated 24 hours a day, and at the moment, an inconspicuous cab was parked outside. Inside the station, the bright incandescent lights were somewhat blinding. A middle-aged uncle in his forties was almost in tears, pointing at aputer screen, ¡®Officer, I¡¯m not making this up, am I? Everything I¡¯ve said is true!¡¯ A young policeman next to him whispered, ¡®After examination, there¡¯s no trace of editing in the video.¡¯ This uncle, surnamed Chen, had been driving a cab for over twenty years. Due to frequent disputes with passengers, he had installed surveince equipment in the vehicle, which happened to capture the incident. The girl had disappeared into thin air¡­ They had heard rumors that over the past twenty years, as spiritual energy revived, people from the Ancient Martial Arts Families began to cultivate, and abroad, Superpower Users appeared. The country was in dire need of such talents now. Suddenly, a female officer spoke softly, ¡®This girl¡­ Why do I feel like she resembles the student who came to make a statement this evening? It seems rted to a jumping case.¡¯ ¡®Check it out! Report immediately, and look into the jumping case too!¡¯ There was a feeling that this matter wouldn¡¯t be simple. * On Monday, Bai Chuwei arrived at the ssroom right on time. The room buzzed with the students¡¯ loud reading, but Duan Xingye hadn¡¯t shown up. Until the physical exercise session, Bai Chuwei, finding it too lengthy, secretly slipped out. Leisurely standing under rows of peach trees, she focused intently on the tender peach blossoms, catching a glimpse of anguid young man ambling in from the corner of her eye. It was only at this time that Duan Xingye turned up for school, spotting Bai Chuwei in the garden at once. He trotted over, ¡®Ancestor Weiwei, are you enjoying the peach blossoms? They are truly beautiful!¡¯ Bai Chuwei looked at him with disdain, ¡®Who said I¡¯m enjoying the blossoms? I feel like eating peaches.¡¯ Duan Xingye thought for a moment, ¡®My uncle has an estate in Nancheng, the weather¡¯s warmer there, and in just over a month, you could eat early-ripening peaches¡­ ???¡¯ Bai Chuwei twisted a peach and handed it to him, using him as a guinea pig, ¡®Here, I ripened it with spiritual power, you try it first for me.¡¯ Chapter 90 - 090 Are You Able to Treat Nearsightedness? Chapter 90: Chapter 090 Are You Able to Treat Nearsightedness? Duan Xingye was first startled, then his eyes reddened as he took the fuzzy peach, saying very moved, ¡°Weiwei is so good to me.¡± Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t make a sound, actually, she was just worried that the school¡¯s peach tree wasn¡¯t properly cared for and had been growing wild; even if she sped up the ripening process, it might not taste good, and she wanted Duan Xingye to be a guinea pig and try it first¡­ Duan Xingye unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, washed the peach with the water, and then bit into it fiercely, eximing with surprise, ¡°Sweet.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s slender fingers lightly brushed her own chin as she murmured while looking at the splendid springtime peach blossoms, ¡°It seems to be growing well.¡± As Duan Xingye munched on the first peach of the year, he asked curiously, ¡°How did Ancestor Weiwei end up here?¡± Bai Chuwei tugged lightly at the corner of her mouth, speaking indifferently, ¡°I wanted to find a better peach grove to pick some peach blossoms to brew wine.¡± It would soon be the anniversary of that person¡¯s death. He had died inte spring without getting to see the summer fruits of the honey peaches. Every year around this time, she would brew a jar of Peach Blossom Elixir as an offering. Brewing wine had to be done in advance. Upon hearing that, Duan Xingye couldn¡¯t help but want to rmend the peach tree-filled estate his fourth uncle owned in Nancheng. Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t want to borate. Her ears picked up the principal¡¯s impassioned speech on the sports field, so she changed the subject with a curving of her lips, ¡°Why did youe to school sote today? Don¡¯t you usually arrive early for morning study?¡± Duan Xingye¡¯s eyes reddened further as he struggled to maintain his voice, which still carried a trace of a choke, ¡°Suddenly I felt like studying doesn¡¯t matter.¡± He had studied so hard to get his father to understand him, but now it seemed unnecessary since his father had other sons to be proud of. With a light chuckle, Bai Chuwei said, ¡°Idiot, studying has never been for anyone else but for yourself. You should live for yourself.¡± Duan Xingye gazed steadily at Bai Chuwei for a long time before gradually lowering his head and murmuring, ¡°I understand now.¡± After finally calming his emotions, Duan Xingye followed Bai Chuwei towards the small garden, ¡°But Weiwei doesn¡¯t study either!¡± Bai Chuwei replied with azy tone, ¡°I didn¡¯te to school to study.¡± She sat down at the stone table under the garden trellis, and a voice full of inquiry came from behind her, ¡°Excuse me, is this Bai Chuwei?¡± Bai Chuwei nced at the girl, ¡°Here for a medical appointment? Come and sit.¡± Last week, Bai Chuwei became famous due to Su Ruan¡¯s menstrual pain incident, and girls curious about Bai Chuwei¡¯s medical skills all added her on WeChat to make appointments. The fees for Bai Chuwei¡¯s consultations wereparable to a hospital¡¯s registration fee; specialist appointments in big hospitals cost just over a hundred yuan, so Bai Chuwei¡¯s starting price of two thousand was astronomical. But fortunately, most of the students at Henghua First Middle School were quite wealthy, and there were many who were curious about Bai Chuwei¡¯s medical skills. There were not a few who spent two thousand yuan out of curiosity. Bai Chuwei¡¯s appointment slots were already full for the week, mostly with people just there for the excitement. Qi Yue was a first-year high school student, pretty and cute, and being the little princess of one of the eight major families, the Qi Family, with a big shot brother like Qi Mo, she led a veryfortable life. But when the news of Su Ruan¡¯s cured menstrual pain spread throughout the school¡¯s femalemunity, Qi Yue was not happy about it. She hated people who used women¡¯s menstrual pain as a gimmick the most! So having thrown two thousand yuan like it was nothing, she came to dete Bai Chuwei¡¯s ego. Arching her chin, she said, ¡°With such an exorbitant fee of two thousand yuan, you must be something special. So why don¡¯t you check if I am sick? If you can¡¯t find anything wrong with me, then you should give me my money back.¡± Qi Yue loved to exercise and was extremely healthy, not even suffering from themon cold or fever. Bai Chuwei nced at her and said, ¡°You¡¯re nearsighted.¡± Qi Yue and Duan Xingye stared straight at Bai Chuwei for nearly a minute. Suddenly, with excitement, Qi Yue held her face and screamed, ¡°You¡­ you mean you can also cure nearsightedness?¡± Chapter 91 - 091: Indistinguishable from Beasts at Five Meters Chapter 91: Chapter 091: Indistinguishable from Beasts at Five Meters Myopia isn¡¯t a big deal to some, yet not a small issue to others. Once you develop myopia, it¡¯s a lifelong irreversible condition, and as of now, we mainly have preventive measures but no cure. Evenser eye surgery can damage the cornea, not to mention that minors are not allowed to undergo such procedures for myopia. In today¡¯s inte age, coupled with the immense academic pressure in junior and senior high school, if there are fifty students in a ss, it¡¯s very likely that forty of them have myopia to some degree. Even Duan Xingye has nearly 100 degrees of myopia. Qi Yue developed myopia in her ninth-grade year due to the stress of middle school exams and an embarrassing photo of her wearing sses was even posted on the school forum. As a young girl who loves beauty, she furiously opted for contact lenses. But any girl who has worn contact lenses knows that prolonged use can cause the eyes tock oxygen, leading to red blood vessels and ufortable dryness. Qi Yue was quite distressed by this and even asked her brother to consider getting surgery for her myopia. However, first, Qi Yue is still a minor, and second, current myopia surgeries can cause corneal damage and some have side effects, which even Qi Yue herself fears. Only those with myopia understand how painful it is, not being able to distinguish people from animals beyond five meters! If Bai Chuwei really has the skills to cure her myopia, it wouldn¡¯t just be a consultation fee of two thousand yuan she¡¯d be willing to give; she¡¯d happily pay a hundred thousand! Bai Chuwei smiled faintly, ¡°It¡¯s curable.¡± Qi Yue¡¯s face showed a mixture of emotions while Duan Xingye, sitting beside her, egged her on, ¡°Do you feel an urge to call someone ¡®Daddy¡¯?!¡± Qi Yue: ¡°¡­¡± You really do understand me, huh? If anyone could cure my myopia, I wouldn¡¯t just call them ¡®Daddy¡¯, I¡¯d even call them ¡®Grandpa¡¯! Bai Chuwei took paper and pen, swiftly writing a list of medicinal names that only a professional doctor could understand, in a script vastly different from the Spiritual White Script she wrote on the test paper before. ¡°Take this and buy the medicine at the pharmacy, then I¡¯ll tell you how to use them.¡± Qi Yue was skeptical and suddenly dumbfounded at the response, ¡°Huh? You¡¯re not going to help me use the medicine?¡± Bai Chuwei said meaningfully, ¡°Two thousand yuan is just the consultation fee.¡± ¡°Oh, you want money, that¡¯s easy to say! My Qi Family mayck many things, but money is definitely not one of them!¡± Qi Yue replied unbothered, catching the implied meaning. Bai Chuwei propped her elbow on the stone table, her slender fingers gently waving in the air, calmly saying, ¡°I don¡¯t want money.¡± ¡°Bring me a portion of your family¡¯s treasured spiritual medicine, like decades-old wild ginseng or Lingzhi.¡± In the market, twenty-year-old wild ginseng is about fifty thousand yuan, enough to treat a simple case of myopia. Qi Yue nodded nkly, ¡°My family indeed has treasured spiritual medicine. But I hope your prescription really works.¡± Still doubtful, Qi Yue took the prescription and left. Duan Xingye sat on the side, observing Bai Chuwei with an inquisitive look, ¡°Weiwei, this isn¡¯t just a whim for you to offer consultation, is it?¡± It was well-known that there was a Divine Doctor on Yunwu Mountain; he and his uncle had even driven there especially to request her help. Rumors had it that this Divine Doctor Bai had a peculiar temperament, rarely offering treatment. Usually, it¡¯s others pleading for her to cure their illnesses. Since when did she do consultations at school? That seemed quite beneath her! Unless¡ª Bai Chuwei had other motives. Touching her chin, Bai Chuwei hooked her lips into a smile, ¡°The students attending Henghua First Middle School are mostly wealthy aristocrats with spiritual medicines collected in their homes. I¡¯m waiting for them to offer such treasures willingly.¡± After thest visit to Elixir Pharmacy with Duan Feihan, they had virtually cleared out all the spiritual medicine avable in Haicheng City. Therefore, she had no choice but to acquire it from these wealthy individuals. Of course, our ancestors weren¡¯t robbers; providing medical help is an exchange of needed services. Looking at Bai Chuwei, Duan Xingye asked with some concern, ¡°Weiwei, are you sick?¡± Bai Chuwei: ¡°¡­Are you insulting me?¡± Chapter 92 - 092: This girl is on point! Chapter 92: Chapter 092: This girl is on point! Duan Xingye pped his hands, ¡°I¡¯m serious! Do you have some kind of illness?¡± Right, Duan Xingye had no idea she extorted three hundred million from Duan Feihan at the Elixir Pharmacy to buy medicine. Bai Chuwei just silently smiled. Yes, she was ill. Five thousand years ago, that person died trying to save her, and she didn¡¯t fare much better, often suffering from heart pain. But she could bear it until twenty years ago¡­ when that scoundrel Duan Xiuqi betrayed her, forcing her to take medicine every day. She spent twenty years on Yunwu Mountain, constantly cultivating Spiritual Medicine, but no matter how she elerated the growth, it couldn¡¯t keep up with the rate at which she consumed it. In the past five thousand years, the men who pursued her numbered close to ten thousand, if not more. Yet none had earned such deep loathing from her ancestors. Congrattions to Duan Xiuqi for leaving an indelible impression in her heart. However, there was no need to say this to Duan Xingye. She only epted appointments from three people each day for diagnosis. By noon today, thest two students had alsoe for their consultations. It was nothing more than small issues like menstrual cramps and stomachaches. With her cheeks blushing, Su Ruan came to deliver homework, ¡°Bai, let¡¯s go have lunch together at the cafeteria.¡± The cafeteria at Henghua First Middle School was delicious. Although Bai Chuwei fasted and would never feel hungry, this didn¡¯t stop her from enjoying tasty food. Feeling good about Su Ruan bringing her homework, Bai Chuwei nodded agreeably. Bai Chuwei ordered some of her favorite dishes. As she and Su Ruan hesitated over where to sit, Duan Xingye waved to them from not too far away, ¡°Weiwei, I¡¯ve saved seats for you here.¡± Duan Xingye used to always have meals with Xu Xingchen. Today, he unexpectedly didn¡¯t join Xu Xingchen, stirring much spection among the students. With an understanding smile on her face, Bai Chuwei, apanied by Su Ruan, took the seat opposite Duan Xingye. Despite appearing to be a naive sweetheart, Duan Xingye was the bona fide heartthrob of Henghua First Middle School. Su Ruan seldom had the chance to share a meal with someone like him, and her face flushed with excitement, her heart raced, and she nearly couldn¡¯t steady her chopsticks. As soon as Bai Chuwei took her seat, the surrounding students started discussing again. Topics ranged from Bai Chuwei¡¯s ¡°second-grade syndrome,¡± to her viral Chinesenguage test answers, to her recent cure of Su Ruan¡¯s menstrual cramps, and finally to the now requisite advance booking for her consultation fee of two thousand yuan, making her almost a queen of the conversation in no time. Even as the center of public opinion, Bai Chuwei remained calm and ate gracefully. ¡°I went to see Bai Chuwei for a check-up today. She is kind of amazing, you know. I hadn¡¯t even mentioned what was wrong with me, and she said I had a stomach disease!¡± A girl, upon spotting Bai Chuwei not far off, began excitedly discussing. ¡°I heard that she even told Teacher Zhou Feng to get his brain checked. Aren¡¯t there those who have supernatural abilities like cultivators nowadays? Maybe she has the superpower of x-ray vision?¡± a boy wildly spected! ¡°¡­¡± Gao Qiaoqiao became increasingly unsettled as she ate. Last week Bai Chuwei had mentioned she had a shoulder problem. Her left shoulder was hurting more and more, and even using a medicinal patch didn¡¯t help. Gao Qiaoqiao tugged at her boyfriend Di Zongping, who hadn¡¯t seen Bai Chuwei before but had recently heard the school rumors about her. He became a bit curious. Di Zongping, with Gao Qiaoqiao in tow, walked toward Bai Chuwei¡¯s group. His eyes bulged the moment he saw her! Not to mention anything else, Bai Chuwei was truly beautiful! Once seated there, none of the surrounding girls had her ethereal and vibrant aura. His gaze lingered, certain parts of him stirred, blood pumping, breath quickening involuntarily. This chick, on point! A faint female voice drifted on the wind, ¡°Keep staring, and I¡¯ll dig out your eyeballs to stomp on like firecrackers.¡± Chapter 93 - 093: Lets Cool You Down in a Different Way Chapter 93: Chapter 093: Let¡¯s Cool You Down in a Different Way Fuck, that¡¯s spicy! Di Zongping suddenly felt that Bai Chuwei was even more conquering than Gao Qiaoqiao. Di Zongping coughed and pulled Gao Qiaoqiao closer to Bai Chuwei¡¯s table, saying, ¡°I heard you can treat illnesses? Take a look at Qiaoqiao.¡± Bai Chuwei, eating her meal with her head down, saidzily to Duan Xingye, ¡°Tell him about my rules.¡± Gao Qiaoqiao had intentionally posted her Chinese exam paper online before, even making it to the trending searches; based on that alone, even if Gao Qiaoqiao died in front of her, Bai Chuwei wouldn¡¯t save her. Upon hearing this, Duan Xingye cleared his throat and said, ¡°The Divine Doctor Bai¡¯s rule is, if she refuses a patient for the first time, she never treats them again.¡± So when Bai Chuwei said she wouldn¡¯t treat his grandfather, he had been desperate. He thankfully had Uncle Si to thank for intervening at the time! Di Zongping cursed, ¡°What the hell kind of rule is that?¡± Doctors are supposed to be noble, but in his eyes, they were no different than service staff, and they still have rules? It¡¯s like refusing a face-saving opportunity! Gao Qiaoqiao was somewhat gloating. Di Zongping was actually quite popr on campus, after all, the Di family had a certain reputation in Haicheng, plus Di Zongping was the captain of the basketball team. Even though his face wasn¡¯t handsome, he had a good physique, and there were plenty of girls who liked him; that¡¯s also why she had managed to make Di Zongping her boyfriend. Di Zongping even started to wonder, could Bai Chuwei be trying to attract his attention? The more he thought about it, the more unrestrained his gaze towards Bai Chuwei became. All the girls were wearing the same uniform, looking vibrant and youthful, but on Bai Chuwei, it not only looked ethereal but also somewhat seductive for no reason. Bai Chuwei, without a sideward nce, snapped her chopsticks with a ¡°pop,¡± startling the surrounding group into turning their heads repeatedly. ¡°I think you really don¡¯t want your eyeballs anymore.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s voice was low and distant. Duan Xingye, who was eating across, heard this and his heart missed a beat, quickly saying, ¡°Don¡¯t be impulsive, stay calm, this is too bloody.¡± When Di Zongping saw Duan Xingye trying to smooth things over, he snorted and said, ¡°Duan Xingye, this is not about not giving you face, don¡¯t we just want her to take a look at Qiaoqiao? Is this what they call a doctor¡¯s benevolence?¡± Duan Xingye was taken aback and suddenly shook his head like crazy, ¡°No no no, you¡¯ve got it all wrong, I was telling the old ancestor to calm down, not you!¡± If anyone else had said this, it might have been fine, but these were Bai Chuwei¡¯s words! Was the old ancestral figure someone to be offended lightly? The one who could walk off a rooftop with him unscathed, the old ancestor who could magically fold paper cranes! If today Bai Chuwei gouged out Di Zongping¡¯s eyeballs in front of everyone, Duan Xingye wouldn¡¯t doubt it. With Bai Chuwei¡¯s skills, it was not out of the question that she could make someone suddenly lose their memory, so that they couldn¡¯t trace the deed back to her. Or perhaps¡­ Bai Chuwei wasn¡¯t afraid of being targeted at all. As soon as Duan Xingye said this,ughter erupted all around, leaving Di Zongping green with anger. Listening to the sounds around her, Bai Chuwei suddenly touched her jaw, a smile gradually appearing in her eyes. ¡°So your name is Di Zongping, huh.¡± She knew the name all too well. One of the boys Bai Yinyin flirted with¡­ A smile gradually appeared on Bai Chuwei¡¯s beautiful face, a smile that made Di Zongping¡¯s blood surge, heating him uppletely. ¡°You¡¯re right; gouging out eyeballs is indeed a bit bloody.¡± Bai Chuwei casually took out an acupuncture kit, and Gao Qiaoqiao began to feel smug. She knew that with Di Zongping around, Bai Chuwei wouldn¡¯t dare refuse to put a few needles in her left shoulder, right? Bai Chuwei¡¯s voice was ghostly, ¡°I will just find another way to calmyou down, ssmate Di.¡± Her slender fingers suddenly grabbed a three-inch-long silver needle and in a sh, shot it towards Di Zongping¡¯s pants crotch¡ª! Chapter 94 - 094 Who Told You That Was a Bluff? Chapter 94: Chapter 094 Who Told You That Was a Bluff? Di Zongping felt a slight prick of pain and let out an involuntary cry of agony, copsing onto the ground. There was a disturbance in the cafeteria as Bai Chuwei calmly packed up her acupuncture kit,pletely unworried. Ancestors must not be insulted! Before the person involved even had a chance to speak up, a tall figure rushed over from afar, scolding loudly, ¡°Bai, how could youmit assault and injure another student on campus?¡± The neer was dressed in a loose men¡¯s school uniform, with the ck jacket unbuttoned to reveal the shirt inside, exuding youthful vigor, and sure enough, he looked handsome. It was none other than Xu Xingchen. Duan Xingye¡¯s expression changed, and he immediately spoke up, ¡°That¡¯s not the right way to put it, is it? Didn¡¯t you see the way Di Zongping was looking at Weiwei?¡± As if he couldn¡¯t wait to tear off the girl¡¯s clothes, utterly naked! He was ashamed to share the same gender as Di Zongping. Xu Xingchen paused, growing more anxious as he caught Duan Xingye¡¯s slightly cold gaze. Although the incident of Duan Xingye¡¯s jump from the rooftop hadn¡¯t hit the news, it had already spread throughout the entire Haicheng upper society. That incident had urred right after Duan Xingye had left his home, and just yesterday, the police hade to take a statement for their inquiry. Xu Xingchen felt a vague unease, wondering if Duan Xingye knew something. At the same time, Xu Xingchen felt a mix of difort and sarcasm in his heart. Did Duan Xingye think that he was only fit to be a friend, and not a brother? Did he really have no right to return to the Duan Family? Xu Xingchen looked again at Duan Xingye and Bai Chuwei and reiterated, ¡°No matter what, Bai, you can¡¯tmit violence on campus¡­¡± Bai Chuwei tossed her acupuncture kit back into her backpack and asked indifferently, ¡°Where did Imit violence?¡± As soon as Bai Chuwei finished speaking, Di Zongping stood up with Gao Qiaoqiao¡¯s support, moving around a bit: ¡°I¡¯m fine, all good.¡± Able to walk, jump, and talk. Just now, the young girl acted like she wasn¡¯t afraid of anyone, but wasn¡¯t it all just to bluff him? Would she really dare to harm him? Di Zongping sneered disdainfully. Smiling, Bai Chuwei looked at the awkward Xu Xingchen, ¡°Xingchen, did you hear that? He¡¯s perfectly fine.¡± ¡°I¡¯m done eating, heading back to ss,¡± Bai Chuwei dropped this line and was the first to walk toward the cafeteria exit. Duan Xingye gave Xu Xingchen aplicated look, picked up the leftover te that Bai Chuwei had left, ced it in the tray return area, and quickly followed Bai Chuwei with Su Ruan. Xu Xingchen stood there, feeling embarrassed as he noticed the mocking looks from the other students. He had just stood up for Di Zongping, only to find out that the guy was perfectly fine¡­ ¡°Is Xu Xingchen fighting with Duan Xingye? They both seem off.¡± ¡°Wow, does that mean Duan Xingye is ignoring Xu Xingchen now?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Surrounded by a buzz ofments, Xu Xingchen, his face a mix of red and white, quickly fled to avoid everyone¡¯s gaze. On the other end, Duan Xingye and Su Ruan caught up with Bai Chuwei¡¯s pace, and Duan Xingye said with relief, ¡°Weiwei, thankfully you didn¡¯t take action in front of everyone, or else I would¡¯ve definitely needed my uncle to step in to smooth things over.¡± Admiration glowed in Su Ruan¡¯s eyes as she gazed at Bai Chuwei, sparkles in her eyes, ¡°Bai, you¡¯re so amazing to have scared Di Zongping, the basketball team captain, like that!¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s red lips curved slightly, ¡°Who told you it was just to scare him?¡± The ancestors never act without consequence when they do, there¡¯s always skin to be peeled. Duan Xingye and Su Ruan both blinked in surprise, ¡°Huh?¡± Not a scare? Bai Chuwei smiled faintly, ¡°Indeed he¡¯s still hopping around, but who knows if that thing of his can still be used.¡± Chapter 95 - 095: He, Castrated by Bai Chuwei?? Chapter 95: Chapter 095: He, Castrated by Bai Chuwei?? Duan Xingye felt a chill creeping below the belt, ¡°¡­¡± Su Ruan was shocked, her eyes sparkling even brighter, ¡°Became a eunuch? Bai, you¡¯re amazing!¡± At first, Di Zongping was quite pleased with himself. Bai Chuwei might act tough, but in the end, she couldn¡¯t really do anything to him, could she? Just a bit of sharp-tongued banter, right? But when it came time to get cozy with Gao Qiaoqiao, something felt off¡­ After trying with several women and getting the same result, Di Zongping gradually came to a horrifying realization¡ªhad he been castrated by Bai Chuwei?? That¡¯s something no man could endure, right? Di Zongping was frantic and terrified, raging with fury he went to Bai Chuwei¡¯s ssroom every day to find her, but damn it was weird, he couldn¡¯t find her! Yet when he asked others, they all said that Bai Chuwei was right there in ss Nine¡¯s ssroom, sitting by the window and feeding the birds. This is nuts. Qi Yue was an extremely efficient girl. She excitedly got the prescription and immediately went to buy the herbs. The medicine wasn¡¯t expensive; it all cost just 237 yuan in total. Qi Yue, carrying a bag of traditional Chinese medicine, went to find Bai Chuwei. As soon as she sat down, she saw Di Zongping rush over in a panic, ¡°Qi Yue, have you seen Bai Chuwei? Damn it¡¯s weird, I can¡¯t find her in the whole school!¡± Qi Yue nced at Bai Chuwei, who was sitting by the stone table cracking sunflower seeds, with an odd look in her eyes: ¡°¡­¡± Di Zongping, are you blind or are you messing with me? Isn¡¯t Bai Chuwei right in front of you? Qi Yue normally disliked Di Zongping¡¯s way of flirting with girls; she thought he was just messing with her. She immediately coldened her face and scolded, ¡°Get lost.¡± Unable to find anyone, Di Zongping cursed and had to return to Bai Chuwei¡¯s ss Nine to continue the search. He was about to turn the whole school upside down! Qi Yue pushed the medicinal ingredients in front of Bai Chuwei and looked at her with eyes behind contact lenses, ¡°Sister Bai, I¡¯ve bought all the ingredients. But it¡¯s only 237 yuan¡­ Can it really work?¡± Even if you add the consultation fee of two thousand yuan, it¡¯s only 2237 yuan. Can we really cure myopia with that, without damaging the cornea? Bai Chuwei spat out thest sunflower seed shell and said indifferently, ¡°You¡¯ve been ripped off by the herb seller. A small myopia prescription should cost at most 180 yuan.¡± Qi Yue almost roared in frustration. Is that the point? It¡¯s just an extra fifty-some yuan, is that the point? And what do you mean ¡®a small myopia¡¯? Do you have any idea how many teenagers are troubled by this? Bai Chuwei reached out her hand to Qi Yue, who quickly understood and took out a box of wild ginseng from her backpack, whispering, ¡°This is from my brother¡¯s personal stash. He was nning to give it as a gift to an important elder, but I sneaked it out.¡± A few days ago, Qi Yue secretly saw her brother, Qi Mo, solemnly ce the family¡¯s treasured wild ginseng into an exquisite box¡ªclearly destined for someone he deeply respected. After all, his usual gifts were prepared by subordinates, so personal preparation meant it was for a very important elder. Thinking it over, Qi Yue still felt that her eyesight was more important, so she took it without permission. Thezy look in Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes lit up instantly as she took a deep sniff of the ginseng, eximing, ¡°Two hundred years old wild ginseng, what a treasure!¡± She loved these Spiritual Medicines brimming with Spiritual Energy, just a whiff was as divine as an Immortal! Qi Yue¡¯s face changed, two hundred years old wild ginseng? Holy cow, how valuable is that? Would her brother kill her if he found out? But once the Spiritual Medicine reached Bai Chuwei¡¯s hands, there was no getting it back. She took out a simple cloth eye mask from her bag, with ink bamboo embroidered on it, and handed it to Qi Yue, ¡°Boil all the herbs, then soak this eye mask in the resulting decoction for an hour. Wearing it three times will do the trick.¡± Qi Yue was stunned. It was that simple? Soon, she found herself facing a dilemma, ¡°So, do I need to take time off? After all, I won¡¯t be using my eyes for three days.¡± Bai Chuwei gave her a strange look, ¡°Why would you need to take leave? Just wear this eye mask for three nights while sleeping.¡± Qi Yue: ¡°¡­¡± It¡¯s that simple? Is curing myopia really this easy? Are eye clinics going out of business? Chapter 96 - 096 Of Course I’m Happy to See You Chapter 96: Chapter 096 Of Course I¡¯m Happy to See You People sometimes just do self-deprecating things. The more expensive something is, the better it seems, while they be suspicious of anything too cheap. Qi Yue was genuinely skeptical and also afraid that Bai Chuwei¡¯s medicine might damage her eyes, so she was indecisive. After all, these past couple of days the people who went to Bai Chuwei for treatment were just out of curiosity; at most, they had minor issues like menstrual pain. To verify if Bai Chuwei¡¯s methods were effective, they would have to wait until their next period, right? Therefore, Qi Yue was somewhat worried. Bai Chuwei stood up and stretchedzily, ¡°I¡¯ve given you the medicine, whether you believe in it or not is up to you. Alright, I¡¯m going to ss.¡± Bai Chuwei sauntered back to the ssroom where the Chinese teacher, Li Juan, was lecturing with fervor. Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t even bother to lift her head. Every now and then, she would take out the two-hundred-year-old wild ginseng from the drawer to have a sniff. Delightful! Truly delightful! Duan Xingye sitting beside her had aplex expression. The fact that Di Zongping couldn¡¯t find her earlier must have had something to do with the old ancestor, he watched Bai Chuwei smell the wild ginseng and couldn¡¯t help but whisper softly, ¡°Weiwei, my uncle wille to see you today.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s gaze shifted from the wild ginseng in an instant, her eyes somewhat fixated. Really? That was someone more captivating to her heart than the two-hundred-year-old wild ginseng¡­ With eager anticipation, Bai Chuwei finally waited until school was over. Duan Xingye had decided to attend a tutorial session, so not long after she left the campus, she saw a low-key ck luxury car parked under the old schr tree outside the school. Bai Chuwei rushed over and immediately saw a man in a suit and leather shoes sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, with his left hand adorned with Sandalwood Buddhist Beads resting casually on the steering wheel, radiating a sense of beauty. As soon as Bai Chuwei got in the car, she took a deep sniff and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°It smells so good!¡± It was like smoking opium, addictive! Duan Feihan¡¯s brow twitched slightly, he nodded and said, ¡°Mm, I heard that you¡¯re still looking for Spiritual Medicine, so I brought you the Duan Family¡¯s treasured wild ginseng, Lingzhi mushrooms, and Snow Lotus.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes locked onto him unabashedly, and she suddenlyughed, ¡°You misunderstood, I meant you smell good.¡± Duan Feihan: ¡°¡­¡± He truly suspected she might blurt out ¡®You¡¯re so cheeky¡¯ one day. However, she never thought she had too much of the good stuff, and she was very pleased with the trunk full of Spiritual Medicine Duan Feihan provided. He caught a glimpse of the young girl¡¯s radiant spirits, her joy causing her slender white legs to swing in the air, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, ¡°Are you that happy?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes shimmered with light, her tone flirtatious, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m happy to see you.¡± The man¡¯s eyes deepened, as though waves were surging within them. He turned his gaze back, started the car, and drove her home. The car stopped not far from the Bai Family¡¯s vi. Bai Chuwei asked without looking away, ¡°Hanhan, you came to see me for more than just delivering herbs, right?¡± Duan Feihan cast a smile at Bai Chuwei¡¯s beaming face and said with downcast eyes, ¡°My father is almost recovered.¡± The hospital¡¯s examination yesterday showed that the cancer cells that had spread all over his body were retreating. The chief physician clung to the old man, unwilling to let him leave, desperately wanting to know why; after all, to their eyes, a man who was on the brink of death was now bouncing around again¡ªwasn¡¯t that scary? Bai Chuwei nodded knowingly. Liu Zhen called her every day to report on the old master Duan¡¯s condition, and she guessed that he would be better within a couple of days. ¡°So, the Duan Family is nning to host a recovery banquet in a few days.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes and brows held a smile, ¡°So, are you here to give me an invitation to the banquet, Hanhan?¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s voice was maic and as low as a murmuring brook, ¡°To attend the banquet, you don¡¯t need an invitation.¡± In the entire Haicheng, she was the only one who could enter without an invitation. Chapter 97 - 097: Hanhan, your beauty trap isn’t quite mastered Chapter 97: Chapter 097: Hanhan, your beauty trap isn¡¯t quite mastered The Duan Family¡¯s influence and wealth are immense, and without an invitation, one is absolutely not allowed to enter, but Bai Chuwei can enter just by showing her face. If someone else heard this, who knows how thrilled they would be. Yet Bai Chuwei responded indifferently, ¡°Oh, I see. I¡¯ll consider whether to go when the timees.¡± She didn¡¯t want to go to the Duan Family patriarch¡¯s banquet because she feared meeting someone she didn¡¯t want to see. Rather than attending the banquet, she preferred the pile of Spiritual Medicine in the trunk. As she thought about getting out of the car to fetch the medicine, a strong and agile hand suddenly gripped her wrist. Bai Chuwei turned her head and raised her eyebrows, looking at Duan Feihan. ¡°I¡¯ve got a lead on Master Sun¡¯s matter, so don¡¯t act rashly,¡± Duan Feihan reminded her. A profound smile emerged on Bai Chuwei¡¯s stunning face, ¡°Oh? How did you know I was going to make a move against Master Sun?¡± Tsk, she gave Sun Dayong three days toe groveling to her, but unfortunately, the master did not cherish this opportunity. She was pondering when to teach Master Sun a lesson, and Duan Feihan had to remind her just then. Duan Feihan stared intently at Bai Chuwei, ¡°Intuition.¡± Bai Chuwei might appearzy, but she takes certain matters very seriously and has a character that absolutely refuses to suffer a loss, so she would definitely seek trouble. Bai Chuwei chuckled and was about to exit the car when the man suddenly pulled her forcefully into his embrace, a deep voice leaping above her head, ¡°Be good, listen to me.¡± ording to his investigation into Master Sun¡¯s affairs, that person is not someone decent; in professional terms, he seems to be called a Demonic Cultivator. Tsk¡ª¡ª the future antagonist even knows to use seduction as a tactic to achieve his goals? Why wasn¡¯t this mentioned in the original text? Bai Chuwei took a few deep breaths of Spiritual Energy and then wriggled out of his arms, looking sincerely at Duan Feihan with persuasive charm, ¡°Hanhan, you haven¡¯t quite mastered the art of seduction. Let me teach you; the next time you want to use that tactic, it¡¯s better to take it off, all the way off.¡± Such as taking off the Sandalwood Buddhist Beads on her wrist that control the emission of Spiritual Energy. Having said that, Bai Chuwei got out of the car and went home to have the servants retrieve the medicine. Duan Feihan gazed at the graceful figure entering the Bai Family¡¯s gates, his eyes churning with tumultuous waves, murmuring to himself, ¡°Take it¡­ off?¡± He lowered his gaze to his suit, noticing every button on his white shirt meticulously fastened¡­ Seems to make some sense. * ¡°Di Zongping, you¡¯re asking me to lure Bai Chuwei out? Forget it, I¡¯m too scared to dare,¡± Bai Yinyinined while talking on the phone, her face expressing utmost distress. She didn¡¯t know why, but she always felt fear at the sight of Bai Chuwei. Di Zongping knew that Bai Chuwei was the adopted daughter of the Bai Family, so he could only ask Bai Yinyin to take action, and yet the usually brave Bai Yinyin was such a coward in this matter. Di Zongping clenched his teeth and said, ¡°Bai Yinyin, don¡¯t you want to attend the Duan Family patriarch¡¯s recovery banquet the day after tomorrow? I have an invitation here. Lure Bai Chuwei out for me, and I¡¯ll give you the invitation.¡± Di Zongping felt that as long as his own issues were unresolved, he wasn¡¯t in the mood to attend any banquet anyway, so he might as well give it to Bai Yinyin. Upon hearing this, Bai Yinyin¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. She wanted to attend the Duan Family¡¯s banquet. The Duan Family was a prestigious lineage in Haicheng, and distinguished families from all over China would be there. It was a perfect opportunity for her to find a desirable boyfriend! What a pity that the Bai Family was too insignificant, and the Duan Family didn¡¯t even bother to send them an invitation; she could only fret about it. Bai Yinyin had to admit, even though she was frightened of Bai Chuwei, she was still tempted. If she could get an invitation from the Duan Family, she was certain to be held in higher regard. Would her grandfather still favor Bai Chuwei, the adopted girl who couldn¡¯t even attend the banquet? With that thought, Bai Yinyin immediately prepared to go find Bai Chuwei, but just as she approached the windowsill, she happened to see Bai Chuwei heading outside¡­ Chapter 98 - 098: The Ancestors Personally Teach Him How to Conduct Himself Chapter 98: Chapter 098: The Ancestors Personally Teach Him How to Conduct Himself Bai Yinyin felt a surge of excitement in an instant. Where was Bai Chuwei going in the middle of the night? It was evident that she was up to no good! Bai Yinyin changed into a different outfit and immediately followed her out, trailing Bai Chuwei all the way to the entrance of a nightclub, the most famous one in Haicheng, named Nightcolor Bar. As Bai Yinyin hesitated about whether to follow Bai Chuwei inside, the girl in white standing at the entrance suddenly turned her head and smiled at her from a dozen meters away. Terrified, Bai Yinyin¡¯s legs went weak, and before her brain could catch up, she found herself running wildly due to the deep-seated fear in her heart! When Bai Yinyin finally stopped, she began to feel a bit of regret. She didn¡¯t know why she was so afraid of Bai Chuwei. After all, what was there to fear about being caught? Who should be feeling guilty about catching a thief? Having been spotted by Bai Chuwei, however, Bai Yinyin didn¡¯t dare to follow her into the bar and could only send a location to Di Zongping. It wasn¡¯t long before Di Zongping arrived in a hurry, handing the invitation to Bai Yinyin as he came. Bai Yinyin¡¯s eyes lit up, and only then did she return home with the invitation, feeling content. Bai Chuwei walked into Nightcolor Bar. Inside the club, lights of various colors shed, men and women danced on the dance floor, and her white linen dress made her stand out, attracting predatory nces from the men. A chick like her,ing to the bar, was just like amb to the ughter! The ¡°old ancestor¡± sat in front of the bar, his slender fingers stroking his jaw, a smile that was not quite a smile on his face. Ah, the ¡°old ancestor¡± again felt like digging out a couple of eyeballs to y with like fireworks. Bai Chuwei thought to herself that she was indeed kindhearted. Bai Yinyin, being part of the Bai Family, could have encountered trouble in the bar, which is why Bai Chuwei intentionally scared her off. ¡°Miss, what would you like to drink? It¡¯s on me,¡± the bartender said, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Bai Chuwei. Beautiful! In his life, he had never seen a woman so beautiful, particrly with her aura epassing Spiritual Energy, herzy gestures mixed with a hint of desire, both blending seamlessly without any discordance. The bartender was sure that at that moment, more than half of the men in Nightcolor Bar were staring at her. Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curled up slightly, ¡°I won¡¯t have a drink; I¡¯m here to see Xu Li.¡± The bartender and the surrounding bouncers were startled. An average customer wouldn¡¯t know who ¡°Xu Li¡± was. Xu Li was a legend of Nightcolor Bar, the top hostess of the club many years ago, whoter hooked up with the wealthy Duan Xiuhao. Duan Xiuhao spared no expense for Xu Li, acquiring Nightcolor Bar under the Duan Family¡¯s banner, making her the manager here, which was akin to being the unofficialdy of the house. ¡°Sorry, Manager Xu isn¡¯t someone you can meet.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s finger traced her jaw, her smile yful, ¡°Oh? Is that so? Then I want to see Sun Dayong.¡± Sorry, Hanhan, the ¡°old ancestor¡± has always done as she pleases, beyond others¡¯ control. If Sun Dayong wouldn¡¯t listen, then she would have to personally pay a visit to teach him a lesson. The faces of the nightclub staff underwent a drastic change, regarding Bai Chuwei as if she were a formidable enemy. The whereabouts of Master Sun of Haicheng were always mysterious, and his visits to Nightcolor Bar were unpredictable. How did thisdy know that tonight Master Sun would be at Nightcolor and was currently speaking with Manager Xu Li? And she even specifically asked to meet him by name? Bai Chuwei looked at the human wall blocking her path and let out a discontented huff from her cute nose. Not even Duan Feihan, the future viin, had stopped her from finding Sun Dayong and causing trouble. What were a bunch of bouncers worth to her? Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes swept over the crowd and she beckoned to a man standing to the side. The man, with a flushed face and racing heart, brought over a ss of wine, ¡°Miss.¡± Bai Chuwei took the wine ss and, without any courtesy, sshed it over the group of bouncers and then rose leisurely to walk inside. The once ferocious bouncers suddenly appeared terrified. They¡­ couldn¡¯t move! Chapter 99 - 099: Can I call you grandson, okay? Chapter 99: Chapter 099: Can I call you grandson, okay? Nightcolor Bar Backyard Management Office ¡°Master Sun, Duan Xingye didn¡¯t die from the fall; he¡¯s still hopping around alive and well. You still expect me to pay you? You¡¯re dreaming!¡± Xu Li crossed her arms and bellowed furiously at the gloomy middle-aged man in front of her. The news that Duan Xingye had mysteriously jumped from the rooftop unscathed spread throughout Haicheng¡¯s upper society. These past few days, she had been restless, fearing that the trouble woulde knocking at her door, and now, Master Sun actually had the audacity toe demanding money. Master Sun retorted harshly, ¡°It¡¯s the rule of our profession; sessful or not, you have to pay. Someone broke my formation, causing me severe spiritual damage. How am I to acquire Spiritual Medicine without money?¡± Sun Dayong was a spendthrift. The considerable amount of money he had previously earned from Xu Li was quickly squandered. Master Sun¡¯s face suddenly twisted into a ferocious expression, muttering to himself, ¡°Someone in Haicheng can break my formation? They¡¯ve got some skills.¡± A breezy spring wind carried a teasingly soft voice that seemed almost like augh: ¡°Little Sun, it¡¯s not just ¡®some skill¡¯¡ª it¡¯s great skill.¡± A young girl in a long white dress appeared before them as if out of thin air, without making a sound. Xu Li was shocked: ¡°Bai Chuwei?!¡± Looking at the girl, Master Sun¡¯s face darkened terribly. ¡°Little Sun?¡± In all of Haicheng, who didn¡¯t respectfully address him as Master Sun? Bai Chuwei touched her chin with her finger, feigning sudden realization, ¡°Oh? I shouldn¡¯t call you Little Sun, huh? Would ¡®Sun-zi¡¯ be better?¡± Master Sun, not having received his money and already in a foul mood, heard the girl¡¯s disrespectful tone and raised his hand to p her face. Suddenly, he heard her say lightly, ¡°Kneel.¡± His legs, as if disobeying their own will, copsed with a thump, and he knelt on the ground without the strength to resist. Master Sun¡¯s eyes bulged as he looked up at Bai Chuwei in shock: ¡°You¡­ who are you?¡± This was the Lingual Spirit Technique! Master Sun hadn¡¯t never encountered a Spirittalker before, but they always needed to use a Magic Artifact or a talisman. However, Bai Chuwei had used nothing¡­ Leaning against the wall, Bai Chuwei said with a cheerful smile, ¡°Who am I? Didn¡¯t my little paper crane tell you?¡± Paper crane?!? Master Sun felt as if his head was about to explode! He had always assumed that his opponent would be at least a middle-aged person in their forties or fifties to have such an advanced Cultivation Base, but it turned out to be a young girl? Come within three days¡­ she was here to cause trouble! Despite Bai Chuwei¡¯s still friendly smile, Master Sun inexplicably felt a chill run through his body. ¡°What exactly do you want to do?¡± Sun Dayong struggled furiously on the ground, unable to move, withrge beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. Bai Chuwei said indifferently, ¡°Originally, if you hade to me within three days, I could have let you choose between losing an arm or a leg. But you stubbornly refused toe.¡± The girl¡¯s smile was gentle, but each word felt chilling. Xu Li was nearly scared out of her wits; if Master Sun couldn¡¯t handle this little demoness, how could she possibly manage? No wonder Bai Chuwei took one look around her house and immediately noticed that the decor was designed ording to Feng Shui¡­ Xu Li shrieked, ¡°Someone, help! Bodyguards! Security!¡± Listening to the urgent footsteps outside the door, Bai Chuwei strolled around the office as if touring her own home, casually picking up a candy from the desk, unwrapping it, and tossing it into her mouth. ¡°Low-quality candy.¡± Bai Chuwei spat it out disdainfully. Several bodyguards rushed in, and Di Zongping, who had sneaked inst, saw Master Sun kneeling on the ground and felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Damn¡­ maybe he shouldn¡¯t havee here? Chapter 100 - 100 Take This Woman to Surrender Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Take This Woman to Surrender Xu Li almost screamed, holding her head in dismay: ¡°Where is everyone? Why are there only a few of you?¡± The lead bodyguard was terrified, ¡°For some reason, the rest were immobilized outside and can¡¯t move.¡± Thus, only a handful of bodyguards, who heard Manager Xu¡¯s cry for help, rushed in. But with just four or five of them, one of whom was just filling the numbers, there was no imposing presence at all. Suddenly, the lead bodyguard pointed at Bai Chuwei, who was still picking out candies from a dish, and said in terror: ¡°It¡¯s her, she¡¯s the one who immobilized everyone!¡± In an instant, a chill ran through everyone present, as a cold shiver traveled from the soles of their feet to the top of their skulls. Who the hell is this formidable ancestor? Thinking of their colleagues still immobilized outside, no one dared to move forward for a moment. Bai Chuwei, failing to find the candy she liked, lifted her head in disappointment and said indifferently, ¡°Master Sun, you might not be aware of my rules. First, I despise demonic cultivators and feel like twisting the necks of these people on sight; second, I don¡¯t like anyone harming people within my protection range. Unfortunately, you¡¯ve managed to do both.¡± Sun Dayong felt like crying and wanted her to stop using ¡®you¡¯ as he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Xu Li screamed from the side, ¡°Bai Chuwei, have you gone mad? We live in a society governed byw, are you thinking of killing someone?¡± At that, Bai Chuwei leaned against the office desk, leisurely watching Xu Li, and smiled, ¡°A proper cultivator would of course not kill lightly. But Aunt Xu, don¡¯t you like killing people yourself?¡± Xu Li¡¯s cold sweat ran down like crazy¡ªDuan Xingye! What Bai Chuwei was referring to was Duan Xingye! It¡¯s over¡­ Xu Li, looking into Bai Chuwei¡¯s profound and smiling pupils, always had the feeling that she was being seen right through! Sun Dayong knelt on the ground, his head thudding against the floor, hitting it hard enough to leave several long marks on the tile and blur his forehead with fresh blood: ¡°Senior, please spare my life, senior, please spare my life.¡± Sun Dayong knew better than anyone that facing a senior with a higher cultivation base than his own, his life could be taken in the blink of an eye. What¡¯s moneypared to life? Who doesn¡¯t know who Master Sun is? Each time Master Sun visits the Nightcolor Bar, doesn¡¯t he act high and mighty? Apanied by seven or eight princesses at a mere beckon? When has he ever been in such a sorry state? In the silent office, apart from Sun Dayong¡¯s knocking sound, a faint smell of urine started to waft¡­ Someone had pissed themselves in fear! Bai Chuwei frowned and lightly covered her nose with her finger, ncing disdainfully at the still knocking Sun Master on the floor, she said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ll give you one chance.¡± Sun Dayong suddenly lifted his head, his red eyes brimming with surprise, ¡°Thank you, senior, thank you, senior!¡± ¡°Take this woman and turn yourself in at the police station,¡± Bai Chuwei ordered, her slender finger pointing toward Xu Li. Xu Li, pointed out by Bai Chuwei, copsed to the floor with legs giving in. Turning herself in at the police station¡­ to confess everything about how she nned to take Duan Xingye¡¯s life. If she confessed, she faced imprisonment! The divination Bai Chuwei did for her at her house hade true. Xu Li, seeing the mad joy in the depths of Sun Dayong¡¯s eyes, knew she was doomed and suddenly shrieked, ¡°Bai Chuwei, just because you know some sorcery, do you think you can manipte this society? Do you know who owns this bar? It¡¯s the Duan Family!¡± At that moment, hurried footsteps were heard from outside. A strong figure in ck strode in from outside, bringing a chilly and oppressive aura with him. Duan Feihan¡¯s handsome face was stern as he coldly shouted, ¡°Bai Chuwei, did you not hear what I told you earlier?¡± Xu Li, seeing the neer, felt a surge of joy. She was saved! The Fourth Master of the Duan Family, Duan Feihan! He was her man Duan Xiuhao¡¯s own brother¡ªhow could he not help her? The little wretch is finished! Chapter 101: A Hasty Hundred Years Is but a Moment to Her Chapter 101: A Hasty Hundred Years Is but a Moment to Her But before Xu Li could speak, she was stunned by Duan Feihan¡¯s expression. The man¡¯s deep ck eyes stared fixedly at the group of trembling people in the office, among whom the troublesome Master Sun for the Unnatural Management Bureau was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, with a look of having survived a great disaster. And Bai Chuwei, she just stood there¡­ Duan Feihan: ¡°¡­¡± Bai Chuwei lightly scraped her own jaw with her fingers, and cooed reassuringly, ¡°Hanhan, don¡¯t worry, even if a hundred more demonic cultivators like this onee, I could crush them instantly.¡± Duan Feihan stared at the smiling girl, suddenly feeling the vibration of his phone in his pocket. He took it out and nced at it. [Xingye: Uncle, how¡¯s Weiwei doing? Ahhhhh¡ª¡ª] Duan Feihan fell silent. How was Bai Chuwei? She was doing very well, better than anyone. Even an idiot like Xu Li could tell these two knew each other and were very close. It was clear Duan Feihan wouldn¡¯t help her! Xu Li¡¯s face went from excitement to despair¡­ Bai Chuwei even considerately pulled on Duan Feihan¡¯s sleeve and brought him in front of Xu Li, smilingly said, ¡°Fourth Master, let me introduce you. This is Aunt Xu Li, the one who wanted to kill your great-nephew.¡± Xu Li wanted to scream! Who introduces someone like that? Duan Feihan¡¯s gaze turned icy as he turned to his nervous assistant and ordered, ¡°Take them all away, send them to the police station!¡± Sun Dayong, realizing he could move again, rushed to firmly grab hold of Xu Li, as if afraid she would run away. Sending Xu Li to turn herself in was his lifeline now! After the office was cleared out, Di Zongping, who had watched the whole drama unfold, was soaked in cold sweat and struggling against the difort of nearly wetting his pants, bowed his head to leave. Then came Bai Chuwei¡¯s smiling voice from behind: ¡°ssmate Di, I like wild ginseng and lingzhi.¡± Recognized? Di Zongping almost wet himself again! He understood immediately upon hearing thetter sentence! After Di Zongping ran off, only Duan Feihan remained in the room. ¡°The most important thing for you now is to focus on your studies. Whye to a ce like this?¡± Duan Feihan asked with a slightly stern face. Bai Chuwei looked surprised. ¡°For Duan Xingye, don¡¯t you want to catch the culprit who hurt your nephew? I even had them go to the police station to turn themselves in.¡± For Duan Xingye¡­ Duan Feihan suddenly took out his phone and looked at WeChat, where Duan Xingye had sent more than ten messages asking about her, and his WeChat nickname was ¡°Xingye,¡± which seemed to echo with Bai Chuwei¡¯s own nickname of ¡°Your Ancestor.¡± Seeing the slight change in his expression, Bai Chuwei chuckled and walked towards the exit. ¡°Hanhan, don¡¯t worry, high school students aren¡¯t allowed to date. I won¡¯t disturb your nephew¡¯s college entrance exams, and besides, I don¡¯t have those kinds of thoughts about him.¡± No one in this world could possibly be her match. The lifespan of humans was too short, a hurried hundred years for her was just a fleeting moment. When those people grew old, she would still look like a young girl. Having lived a lonely life for over five thousand years, Bai Chuwei had never considered finding a partner. Duan Feihan¡¯s icy expression softened a bit, and he walked out of the management office alongside Bai Chuwei. The men and women in the bar were not at all affected by themotion; they were still drinking and dancing. Bai Chuwei¡¯s reappearance attracted the attention of everyone present. Shouts and whistles rose and fell in session, and some men even called out ¡°Little Fairy¡± while bolstered by alcohol. In a dim corner, a group sat drinking together. The short and chubby agent jabbed Duan Xiuqi in the ribs and chuckled, ¡°Xiuqi, did you hear that? Someone called out ¡®Little Fairy.¡¯ Wonder if she¡¯s more beautiful than the girls in the entertainment industry?¡± To be called ¡°Little Fairy¡± in a bar was indeed an amazing existence. Duan Xiuqi held a ss in one hand and looked up towards the distant white figure¡­ Chapter 102: Has Your Face Been Insured? Chapter 102: Has Your Face Been Insured? In bars, it¡¯smon to hear ¡°Little Fairy¡± or ¡°Fairy,¡± but whoever gets called ¡°Little Fairy¡±? Even Duan Xiuqi became curious. He looked up and before he could get a clear view of the slender figure in the distance, a bright red apple came flying from afar, fast, fierce, and urate! With a ¡°bang,¡± it hit Duan Xiuqi squarely on the forehead, leaving him with a moment of mental nkness. The agent and a circle of friends around were stunned. The agent was the first to react, suddenly standing up and yelling, ¡°Who threw that?¡± ¡°Haha¡ª¡± A girl¡¯s slightly cheerfulughter could be heard faintly in the bar. No one responded, and the agent didn¡¯t have time to fuss, hurrying to check on Duan Xiuqi¡¯s condition. Duan Xiuqi himself wasn¡¯t injured badly, just a small bruise forming where his forehead was hit. The agent was nearly driven mad, ¡°Oh my God, Xiuqi, your face, your face is insured! Your fans would go crazy if they knew. If I¡¯d known, we wouldn¡¯t havee to the bar tonight.¡± Duan Xiuqi raised his hand to rub the spot where he was hit, feeling a slight ache, ¡°I¡¯m fine, let it go.¡± The agent looked at the small bruise on Duan Xiuqi¡¯s forehead and felt a headacheing on, ¡°It¡¯s great that it¡¯s not serious, but you have a fan meeting tomorrow¡ªdo we have to cancel it? Xiuqi, have you been having bad lucktely? Why is it all going so wrong?¡± The agent was still brooding over the inexplicable cancetion of Duan Xiuqi¡¯s endorsement of the Mo Yun mobile phone, even though Mo Yun had offeredpensation, it didn¡¯t sit well with him. ¡°Could it be that we¡¯ve been found out? That apple was clearly thrown specifically at Brother Xiuqi,¡± said the assistant, nervously eyeing the smashed apple on the floor. The throw was very precise: it wouldn¡¯t cause injury but would give Duan Xiuqi a little torment. And from amongst so many people in the dance floor, the thrower seemed like a trained expert. ¡°Xiuqi, Xiuqi?¡± The agent became worried when he noticed Duan Xiuqi looking somewhat dazed, and gently pushed his arm. Duan Xiuqi rubbed his forehead, his thoughts growing more and more hazy. He vividly remembered twenty years ago when he was in high school, youthful and even worse-tempered. He was feared by everyone in school, a genuine terror. The first time he saw Bai Chu, that little girl looked at him with disdain and casually threw an apple at his head, sttering its flesh upon impact, with juice flowing down his cheek along his hair. Everyone thought she was done for, yet she wasn¡¯t. A sudden urge struck him, and he pushed away the agent¡¯s reaching hand, pulled down his hat, donned his mask, and abruptly stood up, plunging into the crowd¡­ A group of people: ¡°¡­?¡± What the hell, Duan Xiuqi, where are you running to? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being photographed? In the midst of the bar crowd, the girl in white hadughter in her eyes. She grabbed the arm of the tall man beside her, ¡°Let¡¯s hurry.¡± Bai Chuwei was leaning close to Duan Feihan, whose tall build shielded most of her. The two pushed through the crowd and left the bar straight away. ¡°Are you happy?¡± Duan Feihan noticed the excitement Bai Chuwei could hardly contain. Bai Chuwei¡¯s naturally upturned eyes blinked fiercely, her voice carrying a hint of joy, ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Too bad she had to hold back to avoid being discovered, or she would have gone even more over the top. Duan Feihan¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple moved slightly, and his peripheral vision suddenly caught a figure at the doorway. He frowned slightly, ¡°Third Brother.¡± Chapter 103 - 103 He Will Worry Chapter 103: Chapter 103 He Will Worry Bai Chuwei¡¯s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as her keen hearing picked up the sound of footsteps approaching from behind. She raised her slender hand and snapped her fingers in the air. A cool breeze seemed toe from nowhere, lifting the ck hat off Duan Xiuqi¡¯s head. It was busy outside the bar at that moment, and pairs of eyes turned towards Duan Xiuqi, suddenly letting out a chorus of surprised and thrilled shrieks¡ª ¡°It¡¯s Duan Xiuqi, the movie emperor! I¡¯m your fan, could you please give me an autograph?¡± ¡°Oh my god, why is Duan Xiuqi hanging out at a bar? Isn¡¯t he about to marry Tong Yunrou soon?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with adults going to a bar for fun? If you cane, can¡¯t celebrities have their own private space?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Once Duan Xiuqi was exposed, a crowd of fans immediately surrounded him, snapping photos with their phones like crazy. They crowded him so tightly he couldn¡¯t move at all. And now, in the era of social media, fans who captured Duan Xiuqi at the bar instantly uploaded the shots to Weibo, guaranteeing it wouldn¡¯t be long before he was trending. From a distance, Duan Feihan watched his third brother¡¯s unfortunate situation without any intention of stepping forward to help. After all, his brother had a bunch of agents and assistants who could help, and the two of them didn¡¯t have much to do with each other in normal times. Duan Feihan pulled Bai Chuwei¡¯s wrist and said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯ll take you home.¡± Bai Chuwei, having aplished everything she intended to do that evening, agreed contentedly. She got into Duan Feihan¡¯s car, resting her hand on the window, her fingertips feeling the breeze outside. Out of the corner of his eye, Duan Feihan saw Bai Chuwei¡¯s action and reminded her sternly, ¡°Pull your hand back in from the window, it¡¯s dangerous.¡± Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue, feeling that Duan Feihan didn¡¯t seem like a 24-year-old, but rather like an old man who worried about everything. When they neared the Bai Family mansion, Duan Feihan stopped the car but didn¡¯t open the door. Instead, he turned and gazed at Bai Chuwei with a serious tone, ¡°You went to the bar for a reason this time, but don¡¯t go again in the future. That ce isn¡¯t suitable for girls to go to.¡± He would worry, too. There were some rich young masters in their circle who were keen on ¡°picking up corpses¡± in such ces. Bai Chuwei scratched her head, mulling over whether Duan Feihan¡¯s viin persona had copsed? Wasn¡¯t his character supposed to beconic, with a deep mind and ruthless methods¡ªthe big boss archetype? Why was he now fussing like an olddy? Was he perhaps the reincarnation of Tang Seng from his past life? Such a nag. Suddenly interested in his past life, Bai Chuwei said with a smile, ¡°Hanhan, stretch out your hand.¡± The man¡¯s dark pupils showed a hint of surprise, but without asking further questions, he reached out his hand, adorned with the Sandalwood Buddhist Beads. His palm was wide, and the base of his thumb had some faint calluses. Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t hesitate to take his hand. Her cool hand temperature made his broad hand shiver slightly. Duan Feihan tried to withdraw his hand, but Bai Chuwei arched an eyebrow and caught it with her other hand, intertwining her fingers with his. His palm was so big it nearly enveloped her hand. Bai Chuwei could feel the temperature of his palm rising¡­ Of course, she didn¡¯t care about that at all. The frown on Bai Chuwei¡¯s brow gradually deepened. Duan Feihan¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple moved unconsciously, his voice calm, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Chuwei withdrew her hand, opened the car door herself, and got out, smiling, ¡°Nothing much, thank you for driving me home tonight. Be careful on the way back.¡± After saying that, Bai Chuwei turned and walked towards the Bai Family mansion. She had just now¡­ probed Duan Feihan. Strangely, she wasn¡¯t able to find out about Duan Feihan¡¯s past life. When she tried to trace it back, all she found was a nk te. Chapter 104 - 104 Will Her Brother Die of Anger Because of Her? Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Will Her Brother Die of Anger Because of Her? The Qi Family¡¯s Western European-style vi is nestled in Haicheng by the sea, and from the top floor of the vi, one can see the majestic and serene seascape. Qi Yue held the herbal-soaked eye mask in both hands, hesitation filling her small face. The eye mask had turned a light yellow after being soaked in the herbal juice, and it carried a faint scent of Chinese medicine. Did she¡­ really need to wear this eye mask to sleep through the night? Wouldn¡¯t it cause problems for her eyes? Qi Yue suddenly felt like giving up. It was only over two thousand yuan¡ªshe might as well just throw it away. Qi Yue sighed. She would just have to chalk it up to experience. As she was about to take the eye mask back to her room, she happened to see that the study door was ajar, with light leaking out. She knocked and walked in, only to see a tall, lean figure rifling through the bookshelves, apanied by a low cough. Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stepped forward to admit her fault, ¡°Brother¡­ that is, are you looking for ginseng?¡± ¡°Yes, the gift I had prepared for our ancestor has gone missing,¡± the tall young man said with his brows furrowed. Qi Mo was very handsome, with a different style from Duan Feihan¡ªhis features were soft without being aggressive, and he looked elegant and gentlemanly. Of course, the business rivals who had crossed swords with him would never think so. Seeing Qi Mo¡¯s tense, handsome face, Qi Yue started to feel regret. She had casually taken the wild ginseng not knowing how old it was, who knew Bai Chuwei would im it was two hundred years old? Would her brother be furious with her? Qi Yue swallowed hard and carefully said, ¡°Brother¡­ Brother, I took the ginseng and, well, I gave it away.¡± As Qi Yue¡¯s voice grew quieter, Qi Mo was momentarily taken aback, then calmly said with his hands behind his back, ¡°Whom did you give it to? Do you know the value of that wild ginseng?¡± It was worth millions on the market, but that wasn¡¯t the point. Such Spiritual Medicine didn¡¯t have a set price; one couldn¡¯t necessarily buy it even with plenty of money. What Qi Yue feared most was Qi Mo talking like this. She shivered and hurriedly said, ¡°I gave it to a senior who was treating my illness¡­ I¡¯ll ask her to return it right away. I won¡¯t use that medicine anymore.¡± To her, Bai Chuwei seemed like someone practicing medicine without a license, a chatan in ancient times. Qi Mo¡¯s dense ck eyshes quivered slightly as he stopped her, ¡°Her surname is Bai?¡± Qi Yue was startled, nodding rapidly like a pecking chicken. Qi Mo looked down and chuckled softly, coughing faintly, ¡°It¡¯s alright then. It¡¯s given, so let it be given. You can use her medicine¡­ Goodnight.¡± With that, Qi Mo left the study without further looking for the wild ginseng. Qi Yue: ¡°??¡± She thought her brother would be livid, but he just let her off the hook? Looking at the light yellow eye mask in her hand, Qi Yue thought that her own brother wouldn¡¯t trick her, so she bit her lip and went back to her room to wash up. Lying in her small bed with the eye mask on, her nose filled with the faint scent of Chinese medicine, she listened to the soft sound of the waves. She had thought she might have trouble sleeping and not get used to it, but she didn¡¯t even realize when she had fallen asleep. Not sure if the eye mask had a hypnotic effect, the next day when Qi Yue woke up, it was almost time for school, and she was about to bete. She quickly washed up, grabbed her backpack and a piece of bread, then hurried to catch the bus to school. When she arrived in the ssroom, out of breath and barely settling into her seat, she noticed that the homeroom teacher had already started the ss. And it was her least favorite math ss. Qi Yue had nearly 500 degrees of myopia and had to wear sses for ss every time. Since she got upte today, she didn¡¯t even have time to put on contact lenses and had to settle for her ugly, ck-framed sses. Resigned to her fate, Qi Yue took out her sses case and ced them onto her nose¡­ ?? Wait a minute, why was everything so blurry in front of her eyes? Chapter 105: Vision Restored to 5.3 Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Vision Restored to 5.3 Her eyes ached in waves, and she felt dizzy, so Qi Yue couldn¡¯t stand it any longer and quickly took off her sses from the bridge of her nose. The action was instantly noticed by the teacher on stage, who called out, ¡°Qi Yue, I know you like to look pretty, but how can you see the ckboard without sses?¡± It was then that Qi Yue realized¡­ The numbers on the ckboard that used to be a blur were now gradually taking shape in her eyes. A possibility surfaced in Qi Yue¡¯s mind, causing her heart to skip a beat and her pulse to race. The eyepatch fromst night¡­ The teacher, seeing Qi Yue ignoring him, staring nkly at a certain spot, could only shake his head. Throughout the ss, Qi Yue¡¯s mind was a mess; she couldn¡¯t pay attention and kept looking around from time to time. As soon as ss was over, Qi Yue dragged her best friend and ran towards the eyess store inside the school. Henghua First Middle School had an eyess shop, and the owner smiled as soon as he saw Qi Yuee in: ¡°Is Student Qi here to buy contact lenses? Do you want to try cosmetic lenses? They have simple patterns, and the teachers probably won¡¯t notice.¡± He could tell Qi Yue was a regr customer. Qi Yue¡¯s heart pounded like a drum, excitedly saying, ¡°Please help me check my prescription.¡± The store had professional vision testing equipment, and the results came out quickly. The owner¡¯s expression turned odd in an instant: ¡°Student Qi, I remember that both of your eyes were 475 degrees, weren¡¯t they? Howe it¡¯s only 250 degrees today? Could my machine be broken?¡± Qi Yue clutched her face and screamed excitedly, ahhh¡ª¡ª!!! So awesome! Justst night, if it weren¡¯t for her brother¡¯s encouragement, she almost threw away that eyepatch! Qi Yue temporarily got a pair of sses with the right prescription before leaving. When she walked past the cafeteria to head back, she saw that enchanting figure taking her time walking towards the cafeteria. Qi Yue took vigorous steps and rushed over, excitedly shouting, ¡°Daddy!¡± Bai Chuwei paused in her steps, and the surrounding students also stopped, looking at them with strange expressions. Bai Chuwei frowned and reminded her, ¡°Qi Yue, don¡¯t degrade my seniority; even your dad is just a kiddo to me.¡± Qi Yue clutched her face and screamed, ¡°Then I should call you Ancestor!¡± ¡°I feel like my world is filled with light, wow, it¡¯s so wonderful.¡± Although her vision was still a bit unclear without sses, it was much better than usual. Qi Yue looked at Bai Chuwei with eyes full of admiration and contentedly said, ¡°I don¡¯t ask for much vision recovery, just being nearsighted by a hundred degrees would be enough.¡± That way, she wouldn¡¯t need to wear sses normally. Bai Chuwei walked inside, ncing disdainfully: ¡°Near-sighted by a hundred degrees? If you had such low expectations, you should have told me earlier. I wouldn¡¯t have bothered prescribing you such an expensive medicine for a hundred and eighty bucks, an eighty-buck medicine would have been sufficient.¡± Is this a matter of price? Am I missing that hundred bucks?!!! ¡°My medicine can restore your vision to 5.3.¡± Qi Yue was dumbfounded, vision of 5.3¡­ How could someone who had been nearsighted for years dare to hope for such a thing? Suddenly, excitement exploded around them as they crowded around Bai Chuwei: ¡°Qi Yue¡¯s vision has recovered? Because of Bai Chuwei¡¯s medicine? Holy smokes, Divine Doctor?¡± ¡°Is that true? I¡¯m nearsighted too! Can you have a look for me?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t Duan Xingye say that Bai Chuwei cured his grandfather¡¯s cancer? Could it be true?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The surrounding students discussed animatedly, and a lightugh came from outside the crowd: ¡°Howe I haven¡¯t heard about this?¡± All eyes turned toward the speaker, as Bai Yinyin and Tong Qingyan walked together toward the cafeteria for breakfast. Tong Qingyan looked at everyone¡¯s expectant gaze and hesitated: ¡°Indeed, I haven¡¯t heard that Student Bai exerted any effort. In the past week, it has been National Medical Saint, Old Master Liu, who has been attentively performing acupuncture for Elder Duan.¡± Chapter 106 - 106 Bai Chuwei Scams Money Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Bai Chuwei Scams Money Tong Qingyan¡¯s aunt, Tong Yunrou, was after all going to marry into the Duan Family. The two families were rted by marriage, and it was precisely because of this connection that she had the chance to add Duan Feihan as a friend on WeChat and was also able to make frequent visits to the Duan family home. Over the past week, she¡¯d been ingratiating herself with old Master Duan, and Bai Chuwei was nowhere to be seen. The truthy before her eyes, and she certainly didn¡¯t want her innocent and kind ssmates to be deceived by Bai Chuwei. Tong Qingyan had heard that Bai Chuwei practiced medicine without a license at school. The consultation fee alone was as high as two thousand, not including the cost of the medicine! Two thousand yuan might not be much for the students of Henghua First Middle School, but if the number of people being scammed increased, it would add up to a significant sum. If it weren¡¯t for seeing Duan Xingye getting along well with Bai Chuwei, Tong Qingyan would have reported Bai Chuwei for the sake of her ssmates. So, seeing that a bunch of alumni were about to be duped, Tong Qingyan felt she had to warn them. Yet Bai Chuwei showed no embarrassment at being ¡°exposed¡±, standing therezily with her eyes that were naturally upturned and full of charm, looking at Tong Qingyan with a smile that was not quite a smile. Tong Qingyan felt so awkward that she could only turn her head away. Bai Chuwei had long been fasting and didn¡¯t need to eat, but Duan Xingye did. That kid was cramming in the ssroom, making use of every minute to study, and asked her to help buy two pork buns from the cafeteria. Bai Chuwei had nothing else to do, so she agreed, but who knew this incident would happen in the cafeteria? Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression was indifferent, ¡°Believe it or not, that¡¯s up to you.¡± People always came to seek medical help from her; she never begged anyone toe see her for treatment. Qi Yue was now an ardent fan of Bai Chuwei. She wasn¡¯t aware of the issue with old Master Duan and stood in front of Bai Chuwei, eximing, ¡°I¡¯ve experienced it myself; my myopia has been cured! How could this medical skill be fake?¡± Bai Yinyin, hiding the inexplicable fear in her heart, said without looking at Bai Chuwei, ¡°But you¡¯re still wearing sses, aren¡¯t you?¡± Qi Yue was at a loss for words. Then she got irritated again. In another couple of days, she wouldn¡¯t need to wear any sses at all, okay? The surrounding students nodded continuously. Indeed, Qi Yue was still wearing sses. Who knew if Qi Yue was just shilling for Bai Chuwei? It seemed like the authenticity of Bai Chuwei¡¯s medical skills was really questionable. With themotion stirred up by Bai Yinyin and Tong Qingyan, several girls who had been persuaded by Su Ruan to make an appointment for a consultation with Bai Chuwei came out, looking apologetic, ¡°Um, Bai fellow student¡­ we don¡¯t want to get treated by you for the time being. Can you give us our money back?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s brows slightly furrowed. In her more than five thousand years of practicing medicine, she had never had patients run off midway. ¡°Miss this opportunity, and there won¡¯t be another. You won¡¯t have such a good chance to find me next time,¡± Bai Chuwei reminded them. The girls hesitated after hearing Bai Chuwei¡¯s words, but Tong Qingyan spoke up at this moment, ¡°Bai fellow student, it¡¯s fine if you like medicine and want to apply to Medical University in the future, but you can¡¯t deceive people like this now.¡± Hearing this, the girls nodded firmly. They wouldn¡¯t go anymore! The way everyone looked at Bai Chuwei changed, and they started to whisper among themselves: ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by Bai Chuwei¡¯s appearance, looking like a fairy. Not only does she have ¡®Chunibyo¡¯, but she¡¯s also scamming money at school!¡± ¡°Family education is indeed important. After all, Tong Qingyan has good character and disdains to do such deceitful things.¡± ¡°¡­¡± It was the first time in thousands of years that her ancestor had been used of tainting her medical skills. She looked at Tong Qingyan, who was the center of admiration, and her red lips curved into a slight smile, ¡°Miss Tong really has good character. Your aunt is going to marry the third master of the Duan Family, yet you have your eyes on the fourth master. Do you intend to call Duan Xiuqi ¡®uncle¡¯ or ¡®big brother¡¯?¡± Tong Qingyan¡¯s face turned deathly pale. Chapter 107 - 107 Bai Yinyin, what the hell are you showing off for? Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Bai Yinyin, what the hell are you showing off for? Only she knew what was on her mind, but how did Bai Chuwei know? Tong Qingyan¡¯s face was a mix of green and white, and the hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched tightly into a fist as she red indignantly at Bai Chuwei. She didn¡¯t think she was in the wrong. Her aunt was in love with Emperor Duan, and she supported her aunt in pursuing true love. But was it wrong for her to have a secret crush on Fourth Master? There was no blood rtion between them, and they could even get married legally, so should she end her feelings just because of status? Why should she? True love is supposed to encounter some setbacks and endure some hardships. Although Tong Qingyan thought this way, the whispering and gossiping around her made her feel even more embarrassed. The students who were watching were all shocked; this was the first time they had heard about the goddess Tong having a crush on Fourth Master Duan. Yet her aunt was about to marry Third Master Duan¡ªwasn¡¯t this rtionship a bit too messy? Tong Qingyan¡¯s voice carried a hint of anger, ¡°Bai Chuwei, you can¡¯t make up such things about me just because I won¡¯t let you continue to scam money from our ssmates, right?¡± ¡°The one who cured Old Master Duan of cancer was National Medical Saint Liu Zhen, whom my aunt invited after three earnest requests,¡± Tong Qingyan found that Bai Chuwei was smiling unaffected by her words, and she couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit panicked, ¡°As far as I know, Master Liu received a personal invitation written by Old Master Duan himself. If it was truly you who cured him, do you have an invitation?¡± Bai Chuwei raised an eyebrow and smiled, ¡°No.¡± This statement was almost an admission of the matter! If she were a Divine Doctor and had truly saved Old Master Duan, why wouldn¡¯t the Duan family send Bai Chuwei an invitation to their banquet? ¡°So this so-called Divine Doctor is a fake, after all? I knew a high school student couldn¡¯t know medical skills¡ªMedical University trains a medical student for seven or eight years.¡± ¡°Good thing I didn¡¯t go to Bai Chuwei for treatment just for the hype. Two thousand yuan isn¡¯t much, but isn¡¯t it just paying an intelligence tax?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Qi Yue, overhearing the surrounding discussions and feeling like she was about to blow a gasket, stepped in front of Bai Chuwei and yelled at them, ¡°Stop talking nonsense, Bai senior is the Divine Doctor! It¡¯s just a Duan family banquet, right? I thought it was a state banquet with such high standards! Bai senior, if you want to go to the Duan family banquet, let¡¯s go together!¡± Qi Yue¡¯s brother was Qi Mo, and the Qi Family was one of the eight great families in China, so they, of course, received an invitation, and it was more than enough to bring Bai Chuwei along. It was then that Bai Yinyin finally spoke, covering her mouth lightly with her hand, ¡°Qi Yue, there¡¯s no need for you to trouble yourself. If Chuwei wants to go, she cane with me. I have an invitation, so I can easily take her with me.¡± Although Bai Yinyin didn¡¯t know why she was afraid of Bai Chuwei, feeling superior in the public¡¯s eye was rather satisfying. The students at the entrance of the cafeteria gasped, and a pair of eyes looked at Bai Yinyin with shock and envy. Bai Yinyin¡­ has an invitation? The Bai Family was indeed rich, but not influential, so how could they have an invitation? Everyone knew that this Duan family banquet was held to celebrate Old Master Duan¡¯s recovery and only the elite were invited. Many of their parents were still trying to figure out how to get into the banquet. Listen to the words Bai Yinyin used¡ª¡±take her with me¡± as if she wasn¡¯t much better off. Bai Yinyin hadn¡¯t received such looks for a long time and started feeling somewhat ted. Just at that moment, a rough and disdainful male voice came from the entrance of the cafeteria, ¡°Bai Yinyin, quit showing off, will you? Isn¡¯t your invitation the one I gave you? Stop acting so high and mighty.¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s smile froze. Chapter 108: Love to govern, if not, get out Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Love to govern, if not, get out Bai Yinyin saw Di Zongping approaching and suddenly felt like cursing. Wasn¡¯t he at odds with Bai Chuwei? Why undermine her? Everyone in the school knew that Di Zongping and Bai Chuwei were at loggerheads. Di Zongping had even stopped attending sses, scouring the school for Bai Chuwei, as if blind to her presence right before his eyes. It was only then that the surrounding students realized what was happening and looked at Bai Yinyin with teasing gazes. ¡°I thought Bai Yinyin had some real skills to score an invitation, but it turns out it was given by young master Di.¡± ¡°How can you say she has no skills? Being able to hook Gao Qiaoqiao¡¯s boyfriend, aren¡¯t those skills? What will Gao Qiaoqiao do when she finds out, beat Bai Yinyin up?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yinyin felt so embarrassed she wished she could vanish into thin air and quickly made an excuse to flee. Di Zongping didn¡¯t care about Bai Yinyin at all, grinning sycophantically at Bai Chuwei, ¡°Bai¡­ ssmate, you want to go to the banquet, right? I might be able to help you with that.¡± Bai Yinyin was just someone to flirt with to him, expendable. Bai Chuwei snorted lightly, her eyes filled with disdain, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in a banquet. Don¡¯t disturb me while I¡¯m buying buns.¡± After saying this, Bai Chuwei walked towards the cafeteria. Her aura wasn¡¯t oppressive, yet it imbued her with a mysterious and ethereal charm, an untouchable beauty like a fairy, which made people involuntarily clear a path for her. Qi Yue chased after her like a puppy,forting Bai Chuwei, ¡°Sister Bai, don¡¯t be sad. You¡¯re really skilled in medicine, and gold will shine wherever it is. If the schoolmates don¡¯t want to seek your treatment, I will get my brother to promote you to his clients and friends. Even if you raise your consultation fee to five thousand, people will stille.¡± Bai Chuwei continued on without a nce, speaking to the cafeteria aunty, ¡°Two buns, with pork filling.¡± She really didn¡¯t know how Duan Xingye could eat something so greasy in the early morning. After finishing her words, Bai Chuweizily shifted her gaze to the earnest face of Qi Yue and huffed, ¡°It¡¯s always been patients crying and begging for me to treat them, not me seeking out patients to treat.¡± Bai Chuwei took the paper bag containing the buns and walked outside. Qi Yue stood frozen for a moment before realizing¡ª Damn, that¡¯s the pride a Divine Doctor should have! Heal if you wish, leave if you don¡¯t, I¡¯m not short of patients! So badass¡­ If she¡¯s not a goddess, what is? She unterally dered, Bai Chuwei¡¯s ancestors were now her idols! Qi Yue scurried after her and saw that the crowd outside the cafeteria had dispersed, while Di Zongping was tailing Bai Chuwei like apdog. Qi Yue was furious! Who didn¡¯t know what kind of person Di Zongping was? Failing in studies and only knowing how to y with girls! Now he wanted to hit on her goddess? Damned fool, he¡¯s dreaming! Qi Yue rushed forward, ready to kick Di Zongping in the rear, when suddenly she heard¡ª ¡°Bai ssmate, Divine Ancestor, I¡¯ve gathered all the Spiritual Medicine from my house to present to you, please treat me!¡± Di Zongping looked like he was about to kneel before Bai Chuwei. Bai Chuwei smiled, ¡°Treat what? Impotence?¡± Qi Yue blurted out, ¡°What? Di Zongping, are you actually an eunuch?¡± Di Zongping¡¯s face turned green; he was not, he wasn¡¯t! Qi Yue felt she¡¯d stumbled upon a shocking secret and couldn¡¯t help but withdraw her foot, looking at him sympathetically. Bai Chuwei sat down at a stone table under the peach tree, resting her chin on her handnguidly, ¡°Since the Spiritual Medicine has been presented, everything¡¯s negotiable, it can be treated.¡± Di Zongping was overjoyed, wasn¡¯t that what all men cared about? Just as he rejoiced, Bai Chuwei¡¯s next words almost plunged him into hell: ¡°However, after the treatment, there¡¯s a time limit on your¡­ equipment.¡± Chapter 109: I Want to Go Study Chapter 109: Chapter 109: I Want to Go Study Di Zongping¡¯s ingratiating smile froze on his face as he looked at Bai Chuwei in shock, his voice trembling, ¡°Limited time use?¡± He had presented the Spiritual Medicine as well, treasures from his family collection, probably almost a million in value, right? And now it¡¯s for limited time use? Bai Chuwei propped her chin,zily said, ¡°Up to you whether you treat it or not.¡± Di Zongping¡¯s face turned a shade of green, clenching his teeth he asked, ¡°What do you mean by limited time?¡± Bai Chuwei felt the phrase might not be very elegant, so she said very subtly, ¡°It¡¯s like turning from Teddy into Monk.¡± Di Zongping patted his chest, feeling somewhatforted. That was still better than bing a eunuch, at least his family wouldn¡¯t have to worry about ending the family line. ¡°Treat it!¡± Bai Chuwei understood and curved her lips, leisurely taking out her acupuncture kit. In this novel, Di Zongping¡¯s character was ascivious scion who hadn¡¯t done any other outrageously evil deeds. Bai Chuwei was quick with the acupuncture, not even needing the patient to undress, swiftly inserting several needles in session, the whole process taking no more than two minutes. After everything was done, she took her bun and left. Qi Yue pushed up her ck-framed sses, her eyes filled with thick shock and admiration, murmuring, ¡°Goddess, oh goddess¡­¡± Qi Yue was a freshman, Di Zongping a senior, both not in the same floor, they went their separate ways. Di Zongping went to the restroom to check for himself and wasforted to find that he was treated, only then did he rx and leave the men¡¯s restroom. The moment he stepped out, a tall and burly student came upughing, grabbing his shoulder and winking at him, ¡°Young Master Di, let¡¯s skip ss today. I found a freshman girl, she¡¯s super hot!¡± Di Zongping pushed him away, cursing, ¡°No, I¡¯ve got to focus on my studies.¡± His friend was baffled, ¡°???¡± Studying? Has he gone mad? Di Zongping cursed under his breath, what¡¯s the use in looking, even catching her would be useless, better to focus on the studies! When the homeroom teacher sent a photo of Di Zongping sitting properly in the ssroom and doing his homework to his father. The massive CEO of thepany, in front of a bunch of bewildered employees, teared up with emotion. Who exactly was the deity that intervened, making his Teddy-like son actually study? * By the time Bai Chuwei brought the bun back for Duan Xingye, she had just sat down when her WeChat was flooded with countless messages. Without exception, they were all messages from schoolmates demanding Bai Chuwei to refund the 2000 yuan registration fee for her medical appointments. Bai Chuwei curved her lips into a cold smile, Tong Qingyan was doing well. Owing four billion, and now, without a peep, still daring to trouble her. Last time even ¡°identally¡± liked a Weibo post mocking her Chinese exam paper. Duan Xingye munched on the bun, while scribbling on his test papers, asked unclearly, ¡°Weiwei, for our family banquet the day after tomorrow, you¡¯re a VIP. Are you going toe or not?¡± Bai Chuwei ignored Duan Xingye and took out her phone to send a WeChat message. [Your Ancestor: Banquet, I¡¯ll be there.] In the Swiss Entertainment CEO¡¯s office, a man wearing a tailor-made Italian suit curled the corners of his lips and replied with a sentence, ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you.¡± Bai Chuwei closed her phone, stood up, and walked to the window, resting her hands on the balcony railing, and spotted Tong Qingyan surrounded by people in the garden below. Bai Chuwei beckoned with her hand, and a row of little birds flew over, courteously nuzzling her fingers. Shezily smiled and said, ¡°Go on, there will be a reward when you return.¡± ¡°Qingyan, thanks to you this time, I almost went to see Bai Chuwei for treatment.¡± ¡°Really shouldn¡¯t be too curious, nearly got conned, what a pity Bai Chuwei looks so good, yet she still deceives people.¡± The girls downstairs surrounded Tong Qingyan, talking all at once. Tong Qingyan smiled gently, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I just did what I should do, I¡­ what¡¯s that?¡± She suddenly felt warmth on her face. Tong Qingyan reached up to touch, and her expression changed drastically. Bird, bird poop?? It was wet and warm, with a distinctly unpleasant odor. She looked up, and rows of birds were eyeing her menacingly¡­ Tong Qingyan shivered despite herself. Chapter 110 - 110 Tong Qingyan Is So Lucky Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Tong Qingyan Is So Lucky Fuck!! As she looked up, all the birds seemed to have a collective consciousness and crazily spewed out bird poop. Itnded on Tong Qingyan¡¯s face, hair, shoulders¡­ The surrounding girls, who had been ttering her, screamed and quickly fled as if they were flying. No matter how clever Tong Qingyan was, she was still shocked silly. She had grown up like a little princess all her life; when had she ever encountered such a situation? Bird poop! At that moment, her mind was filled with nothing but bird poop! The hot and stinky smell crazily blossomed all over her body, and Tong Qingyan couldn¡¯t help but scream as she darted around under the building. The strange thing was, it was as if the birds could recognize people. They only targeted Tong Qingyan with their bird poop, sparing everyone else. It was unknown which girl shouted, ¡°Tong Qingyan, duck your head, stop opening your mouth and screaming!!!¡± Tragic! This was truly tragic! The news of Tong Qingyan being attacked by a flock of birds outside the school building spread rapidly throughout Henghua First Middle School. Students crowded each ssroom window, and some even took out their cellphones to take videos. Wasn¡¯t the goddess Tong suffering too much? Even Duan Xingye, who was eating a bun, couldn¡¯t help but get distracted and stood up to look outside from the balcony. ss 9 was all watching, Bai Chuwei sat casually at her desk, leaning back on her chair, cradling a hardcover edition of ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon¡± as she flipped through it. ¡°Stop looking!¡± came a shout from a boy below. A tall young man ran toward Tong Qingyan, who was surrounded, unbuttoning his school jacket as he ran. Determinedly, he took off the wide boys¡¯ school jacket and used it to cover Tong Qingyan¡¯s head and enveloped her shoulders as he rushed towards the school building¡¯s first floor. ¡°Uncle Security Guard, close the ss door quickly!¡± Xu Xingchen yelled as he hugged Tong Qingyan. The security guard, who had been enjoying themotion, immediately shut the ss door, just as a flock of birds nearly knocked themselves out flying into it. Xu Xingchen took his jacket off Tong Qingyan¡¯s head and asked with concern, ¡°Are you all right?¡± Tong Qingyan didn¡¯t speak. Did she look all right? Covered in bird poop, who knew where those birds got so much poop from. Tong Qingyan lifted her eyes to look at Xu Xingchen, who was also covered in quite a lot of bird poop, and for the first time, faced him properly, saying, ¡°Thank you.¡± Xu Xingchen smiled, ¡°No problem.¡± He was about to return to the Duan Family. Tong Qingyan was the niece of his future third aunt, Tong Yunrou. By helping Tong Qingyan, there was a very good chance of gaining Tong Yunrou¡¯s support, which would make his future in the Duan Family much easier. Before going out, he had already thought through the pros and cons. Moreover¡­ he could gain the praise of the whole school. At worst, he would just get smeared with some bird poop. It was a very cost-effective trade. The entire school building erupted with meaningful, drawn-out tones. ¡°Xu Xingchen really lives up to his name, he¡¯s super kind to everyone, a ssic scene from a school idol drama.¡± ¡°A hero saving a beauty, ahhhh, I suddenly wish I were Tong Qingyan, isn¡¯t she so lucky?¡± ¡°Forget it, covered in bird poop, even if Xu Xingchen came to rescue me, I wouldn¡¯t want it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Tong Qingyan suddenly blushed and immediately coughed before running toward the girls¡¯ restroom. Duan Xingye, who had watched the entire show, felt a mixture of emotions. He sat down next to Bai Chuwei and whispered, ¡°Weiwei, Xingchen is kind to everyone, am I being too petty?¡± Ever since he found out about that matter, he hadn¡¯t paid attention to Xu Xingchen for the past few days. Without taking her eyes off the book, Bai Chuwei let out a lightugh, ¡°He¡¯s just establishing a benevolent image.¡± Duan Xingye was momentarily stunned, ¡°Image?¡± Bai Chuwei gently brushed her fingers over the pages of the book, a touch of faint, mocking amusement on her lips, ¡°If what was there just now hadn¡¯t been birds but bees, he wouldn¡¯t have gone out.¡± Xu Xingchen, a sophisticated egoist, saw everyone as a stepping-stone for his rise to the top. Chapter 111 - 111 I will also adapt to your eating habits Chapter 111: Chapter 111 I will also adapt to your eating habits Of course, Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with social climbing, but there ought to be a limit. Clearly, Xu Xingchencked one. Stepping over the body of his own brother to ascend, Bai Chuwei looked down on this kind of person. As the bell for ss rang, the crowd that had gathered to watch the excitement dispersed and went their own ways. Because of the scene in the cafeteria, the students who had previously made clinic appointments all canceled, so Bai Chuwei had to go home early. Just as she stepped through the door with her empty backpack on her back, a snow-white ball rushed towards her andnded steadily on her shoulder with a squeak: ¡®The old ancestor has decided to go to the banquet? Can you take me along?¡¯ Bai Chuwei, with aversion, picked it up and ced it in front of her desk, ¡°What would you do there?¡± Xue Qiu¡¯s face was filled with anticipation: ¡®There will be lots of delicious food at the banquet.¡¯ Xue Qiu was truly heartbroken and nostalgic, for it used to live on Yunwu Mountain where it could asionally enjoy the Spiritual Qi Vegetables nted by the old ancestor when it was hungry. Now at the Bai Family¡¯s house, there was nothing delicious! Bai Chuwei pinched Xue Qiu¡¯s fatty cheeks andzily replied, ¡°Alright.¡± No sooner had Bai Chuwei¡¯s words fallen than the phone rang. The man¡¯s calm and steady voice came through the wireless: ¡°Chuwei, for the banquet the day after tomorrow evening, do you have any requests? Shall Ie to pick you up?¡± Bai Chuwei immediately rejected, ¡°No need, I¡¯lle by myself when the timees.¡± If it were Duan Feihan who really escorted her to the event, it would certainly draw the attention of all the high society in Haicheng, and that wasn¡¯t what she wanted. Duan Feihan wasn¡¯t surprised by Bai Chuwei¡¯s request, his deep voice slightlyced withughter, ¡°Anything else?¡± Just as Bai Chuwei was about to say something, Xue Qiu excitedly squeaked, its paws frantically scratching at Bai Chuwei¡¯s sleeve. Bai Chuwei nced toward the desk and her mouth twitched hard. Xue Qiu, a hamster touched by Spiritual Energy, felt very lonely at home. It used to watch idol dramas on theptop to kill time and had even stealthily created a food recipe book, which it had specifically printed out. Bai Chuwei: ¡°There will be fried Shan Zi, fried Ma Hua, dry fried meat chunks, fried Ma Tuan, fried French fries, fried chicken¡­¡± There was a moment of silence from the other end, then suddenly he said, ¡°You eat quite¡­greasy fare.¡± No wonder thest time he had taken her and Duan Xingye out to eat, Duan Xingye ate like a pig, while Bai Chuwei ate a few bites with little enthusiasm and then stopped. Bai Chuwei: !!! I¡¯m not, I didn¡¯t! Bai Chuwei had no idea why Xue Qiu, a hamster, would enjoy such greasy food, all fried stuff! Bai Chuwei forced augh: ¡°No, you¡¯ve misunderstood.¡± Duan Feihan agreed, ¡°I¡¯ll instruct the kitchen to prepare ordingly.¡± His mellow voice then added, ¡°I¡­ will also get used to your dietary preferences.¡± Bai Chuwei: ¡°¡­¡± Oh no, future viin, you really don¡¯t have to. Duan Feihan continued, ¡°Then I¡¯ll see you the day after tomorrow evening; I¡¯m off to the study to deal with somepany documents.¡± Bai Chuwei suddenly remembered something and hastily called out to him, ¡°Hanhan, you¡¯re dealing with documents and not nning to sleep? Right, about that night I gave you the roses¡­¡± The man on the other end suddenly stiffened, his handsome features under the light shadowed with an unnatural look, his gaze uncertain as he stared at the wilted rose. ¡°Who did you dream of?¡± Duan Feihan was silent for a while before he said, ¡°¡­Goodnight, sweet dreams.¡± The phone call ended, and Bai Chuwei was slightly shocked. Wow¡ªthe future viin actually dares to hang up without answering the old ancestor¡¯s question! Chapter 112 - 112 Duan Family Banquet Begins Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Duan Family Banquet Begins Inside the Qi Family¡¯s Linhai Vi Qi Yue clutched her face and screamed, ovee with excitement, ¡°My vision has been restored, I¡­ my vision is 5.3! Brother, brother, can we test my vision just one more time? Just once!¡± Standing in front of the eye chart, the tall man holding a long stick appeared slightly helpless. ¡°Yueyue, you¡¯ve already tested almost ten times¡­¡± Only those who have been nearsighted know the dread of an eye chart, and Qi Yue was among them; once she removed her thick sses, she couldn¡¯t even make out the letters at the top clearly. Now, however, she could see even the smallest row at the bottom with perfect rity. The whole world had brightened, and she could bid farewell to those ugly sses once and for all! She wished she could hug the eye chart and give it a few big kisses. Qi Mo watched his sister with resignation and started coughing with his head down. Qi Yue quickly said, ¡°Brother, why don¡¯t you let my goddess check on your illness? Her medical skills are amazing.¡± Qi Mo shook his head and, still coughing, walked upstairs. Qi Yue followed after him like a little shadow, still nagging, ¡°Brother, the Duan Family sent an invitation to their banquet today; aren¡¯t you going with me?¡± ¡°You going is enough, I have important things to take care of today.¡± Qi Mo picked up some documents, his slender fingers flipping through the pages. Qi Yue stuck out her tongue in protest, ¡°Brother, what¡¯s with this unfortunate elder of yours? Last time he made you cancel Duan Xiuqi¡¯s endorsement, and now he wants you to chat with Duan Xiuqi¡­ I¡¯m going back to my room to change clothes and attend the banquet.¡± Qi Yue didn¡¯t finish her words when she caught the chilly look in Qi Mo¡¯s eyes and hastily ran off. Qi Mo looked at the documents, shaking his head in resignation, ¡°The old ancestor has really gone out of his way to avoid Duan Xiuqi.¡± He actually wanted him to use work negotiations as an excuse to keep Duan Xiuqi tied up and prevent him from attending the banquet¡­ * ¡°Chuwei, didn¡¯t you say you could also attend the Duan Family¡¯s banquet? Should I give you a lift?¡± At the gate of the Bai Family vi, Bai Yinyin stood with one hand on her hip, pompous as a peacock in full disy, asking with a sarcasmden chuckle. Bai Chuwei responded indifferently, ¡°No need, we¡¯ll go separately.¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s heart gave a scornful snort, Bai Chuwei still pretending! Clearly, she couldn¡¯t attend because she didn¡¯t have an invitation. Though Bai Yinyin¡¯s invitation was obtained through Di Zongping, she was at least able to get in. What was Bai Chuwei doing? Bluffing? Pretending to be oblivious, Bai Yinyin insisted on pulling Bai Chuwei into the car very cordially, but a round, white-furred hamster poked half of its body out of Bai Chuwei¡¯s pocket, its sapphire eyes staring at Bai Yinyin and starting to squeak. Bai Yinyin¡¯s face turned ghostly white as she screamed and rushed into the car, ¡°¡ª¡ªSuch a fat rat! Drive, quick!¡± Bai Chuwei, this madwoman, couldn¡¯t get into the Duan Family banquet and had been called out by her, so in a fit of pique, she used a rodent to frighten her! Bai Chuwei pressed Xue Qiu back into her pocket and walked ahead calmly with her long legs, soon disappearing from sight. It took another fifteen minutes to arrive at the entrance of the Duan Family banquet. The who¡¯s who of Haicheng had almost all arrived, with the young masters anddies dressed inplicated and expensive outfits, showing their invitations and entering together. As Bai Chuwei approached the entrance, the greeter was dazzled by her and quickly bowed, ¡°Are you Miss Bai? The Fourth Young Master specifically instructed for you to be let in. Please,e in.¡± The onlookers were shocked to see Bai Chuwei walk in unhindered, without even showing an invitation. Who exactly was she? To be able to enter without an invitation. No sooner had Bai Chuwei entered than Bai Yinyin¡¯s car arrived. Her heart pounding wildly, she handed over her invitation with both hands, and the greeter invited her inside. Bai Yinyin walked into the banquet, looking back at the exterior with eyes shining with excited anticipation. This door represented the gap between her and Bai Chuwei! One could enter, while the other could never cross the threshold, just like a moat separating heaven and earth! Chapter 113 - 113 I Came for Him Today Chapter 113: Chapter 113 I Came for Him Today Only those who can enter here are not just the cream of Haicheng but also of China from all over. If she could find a boyfriend at this banquet, that would be amazing! Bai Yinyin immediately walked in, came to the dining table, and with a smile, the waiter asked her order, to which she requested a ss of red wine. Bai Yinyin¡¯s gaze swept across the hall, beginning her search for a target. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the array of fried foods on the table and asked the waiter in surprise, ¡°Why¡­ why are there so many fried foods?¡± Like at most banquets, there are usually delicate Western pastries or, at the very least, Chinese cuisine avable. Howe there¡¯s such an abundance of fried foods? After saying this, Bai Yinyin felt a bit regretful. Did that make her seem like a country bumpkin? The waiter looked somewhat puzzled as well and answered, ¡°This is specially ordered by our Fourth Master.¡± Bai Yinyin took mental note, so the Duan Family¡¯s Fourth Master liked fried foods¡ªquite unexpected. As time ticked by, more and more people arrived at the Duan Family¡¯s banquet. Bai Yinyin looked around and a smile slowly emerged on her lips. Bai Chuwei acts so pretentiously at school, so why isn¡¯t she here? The difference is the difference! The very Bai Chuwei that Bai Yinyin kept mentioning was sitting in a dark corner, casually resting her chin on one hand, looking disdainfully at Xue Qiu gnawing furiously on a chicken drumstick, the crunching sounds exceptionally loud. Xue Qiu, ¡°Won¡¯t the old ancestor have a taste?¡± Bai Chuwei, ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡± The old ancestor, who had lived for over five thousand years, had a lighter pte and did not care for these fried foods. Xue Qiu¡¯s white mustache was smeared with golden crumbs as it looked at Bai Chuwei strangely and said, ¡°The old ancestor attends the banquet but casts a spell to make everyone ignore you. What¡¯s the point? Could it be¡­ Could it be for me?¡± Xue Qiu was touched in an instant. Was it so that it could attend the banquet and enjoy the food? Bai Chuwei with disdain, ¡°How could that be possible?¡± The old ancestor naturally disliked bustling scenes. She sat in the corner, looking up to see a young man in a red suit walking back and forth in the hall, muttering, ¡°Why hasn¡¯t Weiwei arrived yet?¡± After watching Duan Xingye walk past her three times, Bai Chuwei couldn¡¯t help but hook her finger slightly. Duan Xingye turned around abruptly and saw Bai Chuwei sitting in the corner with a shallow smile. He strode over, smacked his forehead and said, ¡°Weiwei, I¡¯ve been looking for you for ages.¡± Indeed, worthy of being the old ancestor, making him unable to find her. If his Fourth Uncle were here, he probably wouldn¡¯t see Bai Chuwei either. Duan Xingye immediately wanted to take Bai Chuwei to meet Old Master Duan. Bai Chuweizily sipped her red wine, her tone indifferent, ¡°No, my purpose here isn¡¯t to attend the banquet.¡± Duan Xingye paused for a moment, then suddenly blurted out, ¡°For my Fourth Uncle?¡± Bai Chuwei, ¡°¡­¡± While they were discussing Duan Feihan, the breathtakingly handsome man just a few steps away suddenly turned around. The breeze lifted the tail of his hand-tailored ck suit, and his gaze collided with Bai Chuwei¡¯s. Bai Chuwei was startled and began to doubt. She had cast an invisibility spell, so ordinary people shouldn¡¯t be able to see her, and Duan Feihan shouldn¡¯t be able to see her either! This must be a coincidence, right? Just a chance meeting of their gazes? Soon, Duan Feihan shifted his gaze away, and Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t dwell on it, saying meaningfully to Duan Xingye beside her, ¡°Look, I came here today for him.¡± Duan Xingye followed Bai Chuwei¡¯s gaze and murmured, ¡°Xu Xingchen?¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s sharp gaze shifted to a slightly nervous young man approaching the entrance, and his eyes darkened even more. For him? Chapter 114: He Hasn’t Offended Fourth Uncle, Has He? Chapter 114: Chapter 114: He Hasn¡¯t Offended Fourth Uncle, Has He? Xu Xingchen felt extremely nervous as soon as he caught Duan Feihan¡¯s icy gaze. Had he¡­ had he never offended his Great-Uncle? Why was he looking at him like that? Duan Feihan stared at him, remembering that this was Duan Xingye¡¯s former good friend. He happened to see Bai Chuweiughing and talking with him when picking her up from school. Duan Feihan had attended high school himself and, of course, knew that handsome young men with Xu Xingchen¡¯s personality were extremely popr with young girls. A middle-aged man in a suit that barely concealed his beer belly stepped forward, slightly dissatisfied, and said, ¡°Youngest uncle, today is a great day for the elder¡¯s recovery. Why scare a child with that face?¡± Duan Feihan spoke indifferently, ¡°Child? Xu should be around Xingye¡¯s age. He is considered an adult in my elder brother¡¯s eyes, so Xu is hardly a child.¡± Duan Xiuhao felt embarrassed and mumbled, ¡°Can that¡­ can that be the same?¡± He didn¡¯t even have to look at Duan Xingye¡¯s behavior¡ªhe almost wished he could remake Duan Xingye from scratch. How could hepare to Xingchen? Hearing the conversation between his own father and his great-uncle, Xu Xingchen grew even more nervous. This great-uncle of his, who wasn¡¯t much older than him, was the undisputed heir of the Duan Family, holding the family¡¯s financial reins. If his great-uncle did not agree, would his hopes of returning home be dashed? Recently, he had been feeling restless. His mother had gone to the Nightcolor Bar a couple of days ago and had note back, not even a phone call, and who knew what had happened. But fortunately, Xu Li had often note home at night before, so Xu Xingchen couldn¡¯t just report it to the police and had to attend the Duan family¡¯s banquet alone. Duan Feihan said nothing more and went off with a ss of red wine to greet the other guests. This scene caught Bai Chuwei¡¯s and Duan Xingye¡¯s eyes, and Duan Xingye¡¯s heart sank. Bai Chuwei, propping up her chin, watched Duan Xingye¡¯s expression with interest and clicked her tongue, ¡°The sentimentality of youth.¡± Xue Qiu was gnawing on fried meatballs, thinking, ¡®Better to eat more than worry, delicious!¡¯ Although Duan Xingye was the Duan Family¡¯s eldest grandson and couldn¡¯t spend much time with Bai Chuwei, heposed himself and went to greet the guests; and as soon as he stepped away from that gloomy corner, when he looked back, he had no idea where Bai Chuwei had gone. After sitting for a while, the evening¡¯s main character, old Master Duan, finally made his appearance. The old man was dressed in a dark blue Chinese traditional garment, hisplexion rosy and his strides steady. The sight stunned the crowd of guests, who couldn¡¯t help discussing in low voices: ¡°Is old Master Duan really recovered? I heard he was one foot in the coffin.¡± ¡°My goodness, isn¡¯t this just the ¡®returning light before death¡¯? Miraculous, miraculous!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Old Master Duan turned to the proudly self-reliant Liu Zhen at his side and asked, ¡°Old Liu, where is your Ancestral Master?¡± Liu Zhen answered with a rxed smile and hands behind his back, ¡°My Ancestral Master prefers solitude; he must be in some corner of the banquet hall right now, do not disturb him.¡± The crowd: ¡°¡­¡± If one didn¡¯t know that Liu Zhen was the National Medical Saint, his words would truly sound like those of a fortune-teller. Someone eagerly asked, ¡°Old Liu, is old Master Duan¡¯s cancer really cured? You really are a Divine Doctor!¡± Liu Zhen raised an eyebrow and immediately corrected, ¡°You¡¯re mistaken, it was my Ancestral Master who cured Master Duan¡¯s cancer.¡± Who didn¡¯t know that it had been Liu Zhen visiting old Master Duan every day this past week to administer acupuncture? Who else could there be if not him? Worthy of the National Medical Saint indeed, such modesty. To possess a medical skill capable of curing cancer and not im credit for it, instead attributing it to the Ancestral Master, shows such impable character! Just then, the butler came in with a letter and said, ¡°Old Master, here¡¯s a letter for you. They said you must read it yourself.¡± A letter? In the corner, Bai Chuwei showed a meaningful smile. It had begun. Chapter 115 - 115 The Playboys Account Chapter 115: Chapter 115 The yboy¡¯s ount Duan Xiuhao was truly fond of his son Xu Xingchen and was filled with guilt towards him because the child could not be acknowledged publicly, hence he could only take his mother¡¯s surname. He owed his son and the mother much in this lifetime. Seeing the elder slowly tearing the envelope, Duan Xiuhao took the opportunity to pull Xu Xingchen over and said, ¡°Dad, this is the young man Xu Xingchen I mentioned before, who I wanted to introduce to you. He¡¯s very outstanding and also the best friend of our Xingye. Right, Xingye?¡± Duan Xingye, in a red suit, shifted his gaze away and gave a dryugh without speaking. Duan Xiuhao felt a surge of anger. What trick was this son ying now? Couldn¡¯t he even echo his own father¡¯s words? Duan Xiuhao added, ¡°Dad, you might not know, but it was after listening to Xingchen that Xingye went up Yunwu Mountain with his fourth uncle to seek the Divine Doctor.¡± Upon hearing this, the elder raised his eyes to look at Xu Xingchen, who had a smiling face, and casually said, ¡°Good child.¡± The old man had lived for so many years, pleasantries came naturally to him. But he didn¡¯t take it to heart. Xu might be good, but that was just lip service. After all, Feihan and Xingye had personally gone to Yunwu Mountain to invite someone, especially Xingye who was at a crucial juncture in his senior year of high school, where every minute and second were precious. Duan Xiuhao and Xu Xingchen exchanged nces, both of them feeling ted. If they could make a good impression on the old man, even if Feihan, the head of the household, disagreed, Xu Xingchen could still return to the Duan Family! The elder had already opened the envelope and taken out a document from it. Expecting some kind of congrattory letter, he carefully read the text, and his expression gradually changed, his grip on the document growing tighter. ¡°Old Master? Old Master, what¡¯s wrong?¡± the butler quickly called out. The guests at the banquet were also curiously and concernedly watching the elder. The elder wished he could smash the document onto Duan Xiuhao¡¯s head with all his might. Why had Duan Xiuhao been continuously introducing young men to him? Was it because this was his illegitimate child? The document in his hand was a DNA test result, examining Xu Xingchen and his eldest grandson, Duan Xingye, proving the two were brothers! Duan Xiuhao caught a glimpse of the document in the elder¡¯s hand, and his face instantly changed, stammering, ¡°This¡­ where did thise from?¡± The Duan Family was under the control of Feihan, and Duan Xiuhao didn¡¯t dare to be too aggressive. He had only wanted to take advantage of the elder¡¯s recovery to give Xu Xingchen some exposure, nning to inform the rest of the family in a few days. Who would have thought that a DNA test would suddenly appear, especially in front of such arge audience? The meaning had changed entirely. Would the elder think he was forcing him to acknowledge Xingchen as a member of the Duan Family? The old master, having lived more than sixty or seventy years, hated being threatened the most! Damn, who the hell did this? Duan Xiuhao cursed inwardly, his gaze suddenly falling on Duan Xingye. It must be this brat. He had specifically asked about the whereabouts of that watchst time¡­ What sort of sons were these? Not terminating him in the womb was the decision he regretted the most in his life. The elder handed the document to Feihan, and with a smile on his face from weathering many storms, said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just a handwritten letter from an old friend, wishing the old man a speedy recovery.¡± After speaking, the elder red at Duan Xiuhao. After today¡¯s banquet, he would deal with the messy affairs caused by his eldest son! Bai Chuwei sat leisurely in a dark corner of the room, watching the drama unfold. She flicked her hand on the plump backside of Xue Qiu, who was busily munching on french fries, and said with interest, ¡°Stop eating, it¡¯s time to work.¡± To send this male protagonist, Xu Xingchen, a grand gift that would utterly upset him. Chapter 116 - 116 Out of Control Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Out of Control Xue Qiu quickly finished off thest french fry, his cheeks bulging like two little balls. Bai Chuwei took out a palm-sized foldingputer from her pocket, gently pushed it open, and revealed a small keyboard that was just the right size for Xue Qiu, the hamster. Xue Qiu looked up, a hint of sympathy in his eyes, ¡°Ancestor, are you really going to do this? Do you have a grudge against Xu Xingchen?¡± Bai Chuwei noddedzily, ¡°Yeah, there¡¯s a grudge.¡± Having been enlightened by Bai Chuwei for twenty years on Yunwu Mountain and spending all day with her, Xue Qiu could be considered the creature most familiar with her. However, it still didn¡¯t know they were in a world contained within a book, where Xu Xingchen, that goddamn male lead, had once done a series of evil things to her in the book. Xue Qiu energetically tapped away at the keyboard while Bai Chuwei leanedzily nearby, sipping red wine. Xue Qiu effortlessly hacked into the banquet¡¯s backstagework equipment, and even took the time to rmend to Bai Chuwei, ¡°Ancestor, the fries are really good, the fried chicken drumsticks too, try some!¡± Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t want to bother with it at all. ¡°All set.¡± * In the banquet hall, the butler saw that something was amiss, and immediately took over the conversation, ¡°The second young miss is in Europe for a designpetition and can¡¯te back, but she recorded a greeting video for you, old master.¡± The second daughter of the Duan Family, Duan Xueqin, was a well-known designer. After going abroad in her early years, she married a Chinese-born rich businessman in Europe, and now her son was already in his teens. The old master of the Duan Family did not wish to bring up the matter of the DNA test report and immediately nodded his agreement. The backstage staff operated theputer, opened the video sent in advance by the second miss, and immediately projected a video image onto the hundreds-inch screen at the front of the banquet. Standing next to the old master, Duan Feihan looked at the document without a change in expression, just about to hand it to the butler. A cool breeze blew from nowhere through the hall, circling at Duan Feihan¡¯s fingertips. The documents flew out of the butler¡¯s hands, fluttering like snowkes on a winter¡¯s day. The old master¡¯s face turned green! What the hell is going on? Where did this evil winde from? Sheets of A4 paper flew toward the guests, and among those present were wealthy students from Henghua First Middle School¡ª ¡°What is this? A DNA test report?¡± ¡°Holy shit, does this show that Xu Xingchen and Duan Xingye are brothers?¡± ¡°My god, does that mean Xu Xingchen is the Duan Family¡¯s illegitimate child?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The crowd, faces alight with excitement, pointed and gossiped about Xu Xingchen, who now looked rather embarrassed. Just then, the video began to y on the big screen. The person appearing in the video was not Duan Xueqin, the second young miss whom everyone had expected, but a man and a woman dressed in suspect attire from the police station. The woman, with a mix of snot and tears, cried out to the camera, ¡°I confess, I confess everything. Yes, it was me, I paid to hire someone to kill Duan Xingye.¡± ¡°But I had no choice. Only if Duan Xingye died, the Duan Family wouldpletely lose their eldest grandson, and then my son Xingchen might have a chance to enter the family rightfully. But¡­ but Duan Xingye didn¡¯t die after jumping from the building, did he? He¡¯s still alive and kicking without even a disability.¡± ¡°Officer, I¡¯m wrong, I really know I¡¯m wrong¡­¡± Everyone at the banquet: ¡°????¡± What the hell is all this? No¡­ putting aside how they got a police interrogation video, what the hell is up with this content? Among the crowd, a yboy rich second-generation who often hung out at the Nightcolor Bar suddenly shouted, ¡°I know this woman, she¡¯s the manager of the Nightcolor Bar, Xu Li? Holy shit, it really is a woman¡¯s heart that is the most poisonous. Is she hiring someone tomit murder?¡± Xu Xingchen¡¯s face turned so pale, it was extreme. Where¡­ where did this videoe from? Chapter 117: Killing to Intimidate Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Killing to Intimidate In the spacious white nanny van, Duan Xiuqi was closing his eyes for a light nap, while Tong Yunrou kept ncing out the window, urging, ¡°Drive faster.¡± The agent in the front turned his head with a smile, ¡°Miss Tong, don¡¯t worry. The old man has always prioritized Xiuqi¡¯s career. Today was actually a meeting with President Qi Mo.¡± The old master of the Duan Family had always been open-minded. As long as it wasn¡¯t a major event like a birthday banquet or family reunion, his attendance at other banquets was optional. Today, Duan Xiuqi had an appointment to meet President Qi Mo. But who knew what was wrong with this president; he showed no intention of changing his mind about canceling the endorsement deal, and continued to engage them in a leisurely conversation about antiques and tea. Tong Yunrou wanted to return to the banquet not because she enjoyed such events, but because it was held to celebrate the old man¡¯s recovery! Duan Xiuqi could miss it due to work, but she, as his future daughter-inw, must attend and establish a good impression in front of the old man. So she took the initiative to part ways with Qi Mo and dragged Duan Xiuqi towards the banquet¡­ * Inside the banquet, chaos had already erupted. Xu Xingchen was yelling, ¡°Turn off the video quickly!¡± The backstage staff, sweating bullets, frantically moved the mouse only to find it unresponsive, and in desperation, pulled the power cord. It was baffling! The video was still ying on loop! Bai Chuwei propped up her long legs and leaned against the armrest, looking at the mess outside with a smile, her eyes showing a rxed and carefree control over everything. Duan Xiuhao¡¯s face was beet-red with urgency as he shouted, ¡°Why isn¡¯t it off yet?¡± A stern voice suddenly rang out, ¡°Xu Xingchen¡¯s mother, Xu Li, hired someone to kill Duan Xingye?¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes were icy cold, standing in the center of the hall like a towering mountain, his formidable aura spreading wildly all around. The old master was so enraged that his blood pressure skyrocketed, his rough palm tightly holding Duan Xingye¡¯s hand, and with his other trembling finger, he pointed at Duan Xiuhao and Xu Xingchen, ¡°You, you¡­ ¡± Duan Xiuhao, pointed at by his own father like that, was nearly scared to piss himself, and instinctively cried out, ¡°Dad, they say even a tiger doesn¡¯t eat its cubs, how could I possibly harm Xingye? He¡¯s my own flesh and blood!¡± Xu Xingchen¡¯s legs nearly gave out from fear. Wasn¡¯t his own father shifting all the me onto him? Seeing everyone looking towards Xu Xingchen, Duan Xiuhao hastily defended, ¡°Dad¡­ this has nothing to do with Xingchen, right? This is Xu Li¡¯s interrogation video. He¡¯s your grandson too!¡± In a corner, Bai Chuwei lightly chuckled andmented, ¡°Duan Xiuhao seems to care quite a bit for Xu Xingchen.¡± Interesting. Unfortunately for him, since she had decided to appear at the banquet, she was going to shatter all hopes of Xu Xingchen joining the Duan Family! Let it be chaos, aplete mess. Yes, that¡¯s the fondness of the old ancestor¡ªloving to watch the excitement and not minding if things get bigger. Bai Chuwei switched to another leaning position, her bright nails gently scraping against her fair chin as she began to speak lightly¡ª ¡°Xu Xingchen, are you sure you know nothing about your mother hiring someone to harm Duan Xingye?¡± In the banquet hall, out of nowhere, a woman¡¯s voice rang out, light and smiling, and it shocked the entire room! Xu Xingchen turned deathly pale, his sweaty palms clenched tightly around his trouser legs, his heart seemingly ready to leap out of his chest. He¡­ he knew! From Bai Chuwei¡¯s words during her visit to his home, his mother¡¯s behavior, and the subsequent incident of Duan Xingye¡¯s fall, he had guessed what was going on. Xu Xingchen didn¡¯t know whether to lie or not, but surely all of his current expressions were being recorded. The moment Uncle Duan Feihan brought in a micro-expression expert, he could immediately be exposed for lying. If he lied, he might find himself in even more difficulty, but to admit it in front of a public gathering would mean being despised by everyone in Haicheng, and the persona he had built at school would copse instantly. A heart-destroying blow! The smiling woman¡¯s voice rose again, each word ringing like a bell, ¡°Answer¡ªme.¡± The nanny van stopped a few dozen meters away from the banquet. Duan Xiuqi got out of the car and looked steadily at the banquet¡¯s lights. All of a sudden, he seemed to hear a familiar voice. Chapter 118: You Are Not My Grandson Chapter 118: Chapter 118: You Are Not My Grandson Tong Yunrou took her purse from the car and looked at Duan Xiuqi, slightly surprised, ¡°Xiuqi, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± He answered indifferently, ¡°Nothing.¡± Tong Yunrou was satisfied as she looked at the bruise on Duan Xiuqi¡¯s forehead, which had seemed to heal from a few days ago when he got hit. As the two walked towards the direction of the banquet hall, they could faintly hear the furious roar of the old Mr. Duaning from inside. The old Mr. Duan was nearly driven mad by these people; veins protruded from the old man¡¯s neck, and his eyes were wide with raging anger. The old Mr. Duan pointed at Xu Xingchen, his voice trembling as he spoke, ¡°So, so you knew that your mother hired someone to kill my grandson, yet you pretended to be unaware?¡± At this moment, Xu Xingchen truly became the center of attention, with sweat beads asrge as soybeans rolling down like rain, quickly soaking his suit jacket. Xu Xingchen had no defense; he had not known in advance, but rather he had cleverly figured it out. However, he indeed harbored a slight hope of good fortune and did not proactively confront Duan Xingye. No matter how clever Xu Xingchen was, he was still only eighteen. At this moment, his mind went nk, and he struggled to defend himself, ¡°Grandfather¡­ I¡­ I¡­¡± The old Mr. Duan shouted fiercely and cut him off, ¡°Shut up, who¡¯s your grandfather? I¡¯m not your grandfather!¡± Xu Xingchen¡¯s face turned deathly pale in an instant; that sentence almost cut off all his paths of retreat. Did this mean¡­ they wouldn¡¯t recognize him as family anymore? Had all the content he had prepared in his mind turned into bubbles? Chaos ensued. Absolute chaos. The entire banquet hall turned into a disorderly mess. The old Mr. Duan was uncontrobly angry; the guests at the banquet whispered and argued, and the interrogation video continued to y in a loop. The family ancestor, considering the volume too low, even had Xue Qiu increase the volume of the video to the maximum. Not only the guests inside the banquet hall but also the security guards outside could hear it clearly! Though the incident of Duan Xingye¡¯s attempted leap hadn¡¯t made the news, it had be widely known in the upper echelons of Haicheng society. They had long heard that the eldest grandson of the Duan Family was lively. How could he choose to leap off a building at such a time? And he had survived the fall. When they saw the man sitting next to Xu Li in that interrogation video, they understood¡ªthe great master Sun of Haicheng. Bai Chuwei looked on at the chaotic scene with satisfaction; this was her goal for the evening. A well-maintaineddy with long, high-heeled shoes ran from behind and kicked fiercely at Xu Xingchen, ¡°Get out, you bastard! You even dare to harm my son? If anything happens to my son, I will never let you off!¡± The speaker was Duan Xingye¡¯s mother. Xu Xingchen nearly vomited from the strike of those sharp high heels, as the disdainful gazes and scornful eyes of the crowd intertwined in his mind¡­ Duan Feihan, who had not spoken a word, looked at Xu Xingchen coldly, seemingly not at all surprised by this scene. He nodded towards the security guards on the side, ¡°Take him out.¡± All of this had exceeded Xu Xingchen¡¯s expectations. His eyes turned bloodshot as he shouted, ¡°Was it my choice to be a bastard?¡± Bai Chuwei, finding it amusing, picked up a banana, peeled it, and started eating. Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes were cold, and his tone was icy, ¡°Being a bastard wasn¡¯t your choice, but a person¡¯s character is cultivated over time.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think someone who can watch their own brother die with such calm has a decent character!¡± Xu Xingchen was instantly left speechless, looking at them as if he had lost his soul. The next moment, a sentence from the old Mr. Duanpletely cast him into a hell with no escape: ¡°You are not my grandson, and as long as I am alive, you¡¯ll never step foot into the Duan Family!¡± Chapter 119: Where Did the Banana Peel Come From? Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Where Did the Banana Peel Come From? Duan Laoye personally spoke, severing any possibility of returning home. Beforeing, Xu Xingchen had imagined many possible scenarios for the party, but he had never anticipated it would be the scene before him now! Grandfather wouldn¡¯t allow him, the illegitimate child, to return home, and all hope dissipated into nothingness. It was that voice¡­ that voice seemed familiar; he felt he had heard it somewhere, but his mind was now aplete mess, unable to think. Xu Xingchen was hoisted up by two security guards and dragged towards the outside. At that moment, two figures appeared at the doorway, a tall man and an elegantly poised woman. Bai Chuwei, who had just finished eating a banana, suddenly paused, her eyes gradually changing. Duan Xiuqi¡­ It was actually Duan Xiuqi. What exactly was Qi Mo doing? Hadn¡¯t he been instructed to stall Duan Xiuqi? How did he end up here? Duan Xiuqi frowned upon seeing a young man being dragged out by security, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression slightly changed; she remembered from the original text that Duan Xiuqi didn¡¯t get along with Duan Feihan either, so Duan Xiuqi would probably take Xu Xingchen¡¯s side. The arrival of Duan Xiuqi might lead to a change in the situation. The security guard whispered a few words, and a flicker of hope rekindled in Xu Xingchen¡¯s chilly heart, looking at Duan Xiuqi with a hint of expectation in his eyes. From what he¡¯d learned through Duan Xingye, the third and fourth sons of the Duan family were at odds; it was very likely that this Uncle Three would take his side, counter to Duan Feihan. ording to his initial n, he intended to return to the Duan family and get in good with Uncle Three and Tong Yunrou, which was why he went to rescue Tong Qingyan from the bird attack that day. Duan Xiuqi kept reying the faintly heard voice in his mind and nced coldly at Xu Xingchen, saying, ¡°The old man has just barely recovered, so who is causing him anger at the party? Take him out!¡± Xu Xingchen¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, and he blurted out subconsciously, ¡°Uncle Three¡­¡± Duan Xiuqi appeared impatient, ¡°Who is your Uncle Three? Don¡¯t call me that.¡± The security guards were savvy, and seeing the irritation in Duan Xiuqi¡¯s expression, they didn¡¯t heed Xu Xingchen¡¯s cries and dragged him away. In an instant, all eyes in the banquet hall were on the two men. Tong Yunrou took a deep breath and proactively looped her arm through Duan Xiuqi¡¯s, which caused his steps to halt suddenly. Tong Yunrou eximed in astonishment, ¡°Where did this banana peele from?!¡± And there it was, lying silently right in front of Duan Xiuqi¡¯s foot¡ªshould he fail to notice, he would undoubtedly slip and take a nasty fall. The party had no shortage of Haicheng reporters, who wouldn¡¯t dare to report on the incident with Xu Xingchen, but they were keen to cover gossip about Duan Xiuqi, the movie star. Duan Xiuqi looked down at the banana peel with a profound gaze; incidents like this had not been umon these past few days, just recently he¡¯d even been hit on the head with an apple¡­ A thought began to form in his heart, but he was somewhat uncertain. Duan Xiuqi sidestepped the banana peel and Tong Yunrou, walking towards Duan Laoye. Tong Yunrou watched as the elderly man¡¯s face turned red with anger, his chest heaving with rage, and felt it wasn¡¯t the right time to wish the old gentleman a speedy recovery. The old man, supported by the butler, said angrily, ¡°Continue hosting the party, Number Four; I need to go upstairs to drink some water and take some calming medication.¡± A perfectly good recovery party had been thrown into chaos by an illegitimate child, and now the news of a hired murder was out! Qi Yue stood in the crowd, eximing in amazement, ¡°The doctor¡¯s really good; Duan Laoye didn¡¯t faint even after getting so angry. It seems his cancer really is cured.¡± But that was nothingpared to her goddess! Chapter 120: Youve Already Lost Your Charm Chapter 120: Chapter 120: You¡¯ve Already Lost Your Charm Qi Yue is now Bai Chuwei¡¯s brain-dead fan; in her heart, the goddess¡¯s medical skills are the absolute best! The guests around them nodded frequently. Miss Qi¡¯s words were on point. If it were another elderly person, they would have been angered to the point of fainting long ago. The old Duan patriarch was still in good shape; it seemed his cancer really was cured. This Divine Doctor was truly skilled! ¡°Deserving of the title National Medical Saint indeed. Master Liu, can I get an appointment with you? I¡¯ll pay whatever you ask for the consultation fee.¡± Another middle-aged man was even more excited, ¡°Master Liu, do you treat all kinds of diseases? Can you cure congenital heart disease?¡± ¡°Master Liu, please look at me! I¡¯m sick too¡­¡± Master Liu stood with his hands sped behind him, smiling proudly, ¡°I dare not take credit; this is all thanks to the medical teachings of my Ancestral Master. If it weren¡¯t for his direct transmission, Mr. Duan¡¯s cancer could not have been cured.¡± The old Duan patriarch was helped upstairs to rest, and Duan Xiuqi, ncing at the expectant Tong Yunrou beside him, pursed his lips before speaking, ¡°Dad, let me help you up to rest for a bit.¡± Tong Yunrou¡¯s smile stiffened instantly, her expression somewhat awkward. People in Haicheng liked to dance; at most banquets, someone would usually initiate the dance on the dance floor. As the reclusive fourth master of the Duan Family, Duan Xiuqi didn¡¯t even have a dance partner, and since he was also an actor in the entertainment industry, he was usually the one to do it. But he¡­ would rather help the old patriarch upstairs to rest than dance with her. Tong Yunrou forced a smile, ¡°Old Mr., I¡¯ll help Xiuqi take you upstairs.¡± The old Duan patriarch, having been annoyed by Xu Xingchen, could only nod nonchntly as they slowly made their way upstairs. Suddenly, Duan Xiuqi looked back with a somewhatplex gaze. * In a corner, Bai Chuwei flicked the round butt of Xue Qiu with her hand, put away the palmtopputer, and whispered, ¡°We¡¯re getting ready to go home.¡± The main objective of attending today¡¯s banquet had been achieved, so she could leave now. It was just a pity that the banana peel she threw out earlier hadn¡¯t been stepped on by Duan Xiuqi. Xue Qiu squeaked indignantly upon hearing this, pouncing on a fried chicken leg and grasping it tightly with four little paws, wailing, ¡®Ancestor, you have no conscience! Hiring childbor to work and now wanting to leave when I haven¡¯t had enough.¡¯ The banquet had only just begun, and it hade with the intention of eating until the end. Bai Chuwei scoffed with disdain, ¡°You call yourself childbor? Normal hamsters only live up to two years; you¡¯ve been with me for twenty, you¡¯re an old, yellowed hamster by now!¡± Xue Qiu squeaked and squabbled, gnawing on the fried chicken leg, refusing to leave. ¡®Is the Ancestor afraid of Duan Xiuqi?¡¯ Bai Chuwei nearly exploded, ¡°Afraid of him? He¡¯s nothing! If the Ancestor made a move, he¡¯d be dead!¡± Bai Chuwei knew this was Xue Qiu¡¯s clumsy attempt at reverse psychology, but congrattions, it worked¡ªshe wasn¡¯t leaving! Could Duan Xiuqi even see her? No one in the room did! It wasn¡¯t that she was afraid of Duan Xiuqi, but rather that he had been obsessing over her for twenty years and could very likely disrupt the system tasks she had to follow for the storyline. Xue Qiu patted the fried chicken leg beside it and once again tried to tempt her, ¡®Ancestor, have a bite, it¡¯s really good!¡¯ Seeing it munch with a mouthful of golden crumbs, Bai Chuwei suddenly felt intrigued and reached out to grab a piece¡ªshe took a bite. Inside the banquet hall, Duan Xingye, dressed in a magnificent red suit, concealed hisplex emotions, smiling as he said to Duan Feihan, ¡°Fourth Uncle, I know you don¡¯t dance. Let me invite Weiwei for the opening dance.¡± But he hadn¡¯t found the person yet, and had no idea where she was. Duan Feihan¡¯s eyes were cold, his long fingers tidying the cufflinks of his ck suit, and he spoke indifferently, ¡°Just stand there and behave. This doesn¡¯t concern you.¡± The man strode towards a particr corner¡­ The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 121: Is this young girl Liu Lao’s Ancestral Master? Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Is this young girl Liu Lao¡¯s Ancestral Master? Xue Qiu was nibbling on the chicken strips inside the fried chicken leg, still finding leisure to lift its head and squeak, ¡°Ancestral Master, that Fourth Young Master of the Duan Family seems to being over to find you.¡± Bai Chuwei was biting into the fried chicken leg in small nibbles, the extreme greasiness hitting her pte immediately; she really couldn¡¯t understand Xue Qiu¡¯s taste. She didn¡¯t lift her head and casually said, ¡°He¡¯sing over? He can¡¯t see me anyway, no big deal.¡± The Ancestral Master was quite confident; the spell she cast with a flick of her hand made her invisible to everyone at the banquet. Just look at Duan Xingye, who came back three or four times without seeing her. Duan Feihan was no different. The man¡¯s footsteps approached from afar, bringing with them the spiritual energy she liked, his tall figure casting shadows as he stopped in front of her, Bai Chuwei feigned ignorance and continued leisurely nibbling her fried chicken leg. Duan Feihan suddenly extended his hand toward her, ¡°Miss Bai, may I have the honor of inviting you to dance?¡± Bai Chuwei paused her biting into the chicken leg: ¡°????¡± Her neck stiffened, and the fried chicken leg fell from her hand with a ¡°plop,¡±nding right on Duan Feihan¡¯s shiny ck leather shoes. Bai Chuwei lifted her head mechanically, staring straight at Duan Feihan, then pointed a finger at herself, ¡°You¡­ can see me?¡± Duan Feihan: ¡°Yes.¡± n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Bai Chuwei: ¡°!!!!¡± The Ancestral Master immediately objected, ¡°Nonsense, that¡¯s impossible!¡± It was true Duan Feihan was a moving Spiritual Qi Repository, but he was just an ordinary person who hadn¡¯t cultivated; how could he possibly see through her magic? Although it was just a minor spell, indeed there was an invisible chasm between cultivators and ordinary people. Duan Feihan didn¡¯t speak; his deep eyes just watched her. Bai Chuwei¡¯s mind was somewhat chaotic, and it only dawned on herter¡ª ¡°Um, I don¡¯t like fried chicken legs.¡± Duan Feihan looked at the half-eaten chicken leg on the ground, the corners of his lips quirking slightly. Bai Chuwei: ¡°¡­¡± truly at a loss for words. As she came to her senses, the man¡¯s cool fingers suddenly made contact with her hand, pulling her up from the chair and effortlessly leading her out of the darkness, leaving Xue Qiu to continue crouching over the chicken leg, nibble, nibble, nibble. Ignoring the small spell only reduced Bai Chuwei¡¯s presence to the lowest level and wasn¡¯t an invisibility spell. Duan Feihan led her into the midst of the banquet hall where the warm yellow light from the crystal chandeliers rained down upon them. The entire banquet was thrown into turmoil, and murmurs started anew: ¡°Holy shit? Is there someone there? Wasn¡¯t it empty? I¡¯ve seen a ghost!¡± ¡°Wait a sec, shouldn¡¯t the focal point be who that girl is? The Fourth Young Master of the Duan Family never has a femalepanion.¡± ¡°Bai Chuwei? She¡¯s our schoolmate! What¡¯s going on here?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yinyin held her wine ss, chatting merrily with a newly met rich second-generation, but when she heard themotion, she looked over and her hand shook violently, spilling the red wine on the rich guy. The rich second-generation¡¯s face darkened as he flicked his sleeve and headed for the restroom. Bai Yinyin couldn¡¯t even bother to retain the rich young master as she stared at Bai Chuwei, her voice shocked, ¡°Bai Chuwei, how did you get in here?¡± Just now, she had specifically looked for Bai Chuwei at the banquet but indeed hadn¡¯t seen her anywhere! Bai Chuwei smiled with a lingering meaning, ¡°I walked in through the main entrance.¡± Walked in through the main entrance with great fanfare? Bai Yinyin¡¯s mind was in disarray; wasn¡¯t Bai Chuwei without even an invitation? Could it be because of the Fourth Young Master? But even if a friend of the Fourth Young Master came in, they still had to show an invitation! ¡°Why didn¡¯t you have to show an invitation toe in?¡± Liu Zhen suddenly had a sh of brilliance in his eyes and strode toward Bai Chuwei, his voice stern as he scolded Bai Yinyin, ¡°Young brat, dare not insult my Ancestral Master!¡± Ancestral Master? Everyone was instantly confounded, wondering¡­ did the Ancestral Master really exist as Old Liu mentioned??? Chapter 122: Is It Too Late to Regret Now? Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Is It Too Late to Regret Now? In the field of medicine, only Shennong could be called the Ancestral Master; Liu Zhen must have had a screw loose to say such a thing. Startled by Liu Zhen¡¯s shout, Bai Yinyin trembled all over and took an involuntary step back. But at that moment, with everyone¡¯s eyes on her, she found herself in a dilemma, whether to advance or retreat. Bai Yinyin didn¡¯t particrly dare to offend Liu Zhen, after all, he was the National Medical Saint, and who knew if the Bai Family would need to seek him out for medical help in the future? Bai Yinyin wondered how Bai Chuwei had managed to establish a connection with Liu Zhen as she suddenly remembered the third floor of Bai Chuwei¡¯s ce was filled with medicinal herbs; could they havee from Liu Zhen? However, under the scrutiny of the crowd, Bai Yinyin had no choice but to brace herself and force a smile, ¡°Liu Zhen, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I was just a little surprised¡­ Didn¡¯t you say earlier that it was your Ancestral Master who saved Elder Duan?¡± Duan Feihan spoke indifferently, ¡°I went to Yunwu Mountain with Xingye to invite Miss Bai down the mountain.¡± Although he hadn¡¯t recognized her at the time. With the Duan Family¡¯s Fourth Master personally vouching for it, the surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion, and curious looks were cast toward Bai Chuwei. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om A red-faced old man burped andughed, ¡°When did the Duan Family¡¯s Fourth also start to boast? We¡¯ve heard that for the past week, it has been Liu Zhen providing your father with medicinal baths and acupuncture treatments. Besides, what can a little girl understand about medicine? She hasn¡¯t even attended Medical University, right?¡± The surrounding guests nodded in agreement; they preferred to see older doctors because they were experienced and skilled in medicine. The idea of being treated by a little girl like Bai Chuwei made them fear for their lives! Liu Zhen red angrily, ¡°All those teachings were imparted to me by the Ancestral Master himself!¡± Bai Yinyin whispered, ¡°But Bai Chuwei is my Bai Family¡¯s adopted daughter, and I have never seen you visit our home.¡± She has to be at school during the day, and she has nevere over at night, so how could the teachings have been passed on? In a dream? Liu Zhen was seething with anger, finding Bai Yinyin¡¯s face extremely irritating! Bai Chuwei shook her head with a light chuckle, not wishing to argue with the crowd. After all, no one in this world would believe that she had lived for five thousand years. Bai Chuwei wanted to go back, grab Xue Qiu, and leave when a delicate female voice suddenly rose, ¡°Who says my goddess can¡¯t practice medicine? Step forward, and I¡¯ll beat them to death!¡± Qi Yue strutted out, her eyes shining as she stared at Bai Chuwei, dering loudly, ¡°My nearsightedness was cured by my goddess, without going through any surgery. Just one prescription restored my vision to 5.3!¡± Vision restored to 5.3?! Everyone knew there were surgeries for nearsightedness, but the idea of operating on the eyes was unsettling, furthermore, minors were not allowed to undergo the procedure, and those who did couldn¡¯t donate their corneas. In Haicheng¡¯s social circles, many were aware of Qi Yue¡¯s severe nearsightedness; a girl close to her eximed in astonishment, ¡°Qi Yue really isn¡¯t wearing contact lenses!¡± Qi Yue lifted her chin proudly, ¡°With my vision restored, why would I need sses?¡± Everyone gasped in unison, staring at Bai Chuwei with their mouths agape. Turns out¡­ this young girl really knew how to practice medicine? And she could even cure nearsightedness? Impressive! Nearsightedness is quitemon and can be serious. Apart from risky eye surgeries, there has been no known case of any famous doctor curing it with just a prescription! If this were to spread, it would surely shock the medical world! Among the crowd, a student from Henghua First Middle School pushed up his thick sses as if waking up from a dream, his voice quivering with a hint of crying tone, ¡°I¡­ I canceled my appointment for a consultation with Bai after all¡­¡± Was it still possible to regret it now? Chapter 123 - 123 There’s No Need to Dance Chapter 123: Chapter 123 There¡¯s No Need to Dance Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curled into a sneer, ¡°You have the right to cancel your appointment, and I have the right to refuse treatment.¡± She had already said it before, miss this vige and you won¡¯t find this shop again, no one to me but yourself for not seizing the opportunity. Come for treatment if you wish, if not, off you go. She¡¯s never been short on patients, there are plenty willing to pay with real silver and gold for her services. These words from Bai Chuwei struck like a bolt from the blue, and the students among the guests turned pale, letting out a cry of despair. Someone wailed, ¡°It was all Tong Qingyan who told us to cancel our appointment¡­¡± Tong Qingyan¡¯s face turned awkward, muttered ¡°I¡¯ll go out for some air,¡± and hastily left. Liu Zhen immediately sensed something and pressed on, ¡°Is the Ancestral Master making visits?¡± Qi Yue nodded excitedly, speaking on behalf of Bai Chuwei, ¡°Exactly, my goddess is setting up a stall on campus for consultations, and the registration fee is two thousand.¡± Upon hearing this, Liu Zhen nearly choked out a mouthful of blood in anger, ¡°Two thousand? Just two thousand for a registration fee?!¡± Even two hundred thousand wouldn¡¯t be too much! That registration fee is like cabbages in the field, or should I say, whoever snags an appointment is grabbing a life-saving straw! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Among the crowd were students from Henghua First Middle School, who had been merely watching until now, but seeing how things were shaping up, they immediately took out their phones to book appointments online via WeChat! Who cares if there¡¯s no illness, secure the appointment first and talkter! In just a minute or two, Bai Chuwei¡¯s phone buzzing crazily in her handbag, as countless appointment messages came in, along with over 99+ friend requests. Some even cried out, ¡°Bai ssmate, please ept my friend request!¡± Those students who had canceled their appointments were dumbstruck. ¡®Does this mean there¡¯s no chance for them anymore?¡¯ ¡°Bai ssmate, we were wrong before, can you let us make an appointment too? Two thousand is too low for a registration fee, I¡¯ll pay you twenty thousand, okay? You could help me with my myopia.¡± ¡°Bai ssmate, take a look at me, can you treat astigmatism? I have not only myopia, but also astigmatism!¡± ¡°Bai ssmate, I¡¯ve got floaters, can you treat that?¡± Bai Chuwei raised her hand to rub her temples. She was a Divine Doctor capable of all-around healing, not just for something as minor as myopia. What on earth were these people thinking? Why use a butcher¡¯s knife to kill a chicken? Bai Yinyin¡¯s face drained of color, her hands clenching the dress in front of her. All she could think was that Bai Chuwei knew medical skills¡­ Her grandfather already liked her very much, and now with Bai Chuwei rumored to have medical skills, what ce would there be for her in the Bai Family? She had been proudly unting the invitation she received from the Duan Family, yet Bai Chuwei had walked in grandly through the front door without one. She thought she had managed to charm a wealthy second-generation heir at the banquet, yet Bai Chuwei had already quietly connected with old man Liu and the Duan Family¡­ It seemed in every aspect, Bai Chuwei was better, more excellent than her! Bai Yinyin felt so aggrieved she wanted to cry. How could she, the proud daughter of the Bai Family, be outdone by a vige girl adopted from the countryside? At that moment, Bai Yinyin¡¯s sense of injustice reached its peak! Bai Chuwei shrugged her shoulders, confirming that these sorts of banquets were indeed what she liked least. Bai Chuwei looked at Duan Feihan and said with a faint smile, ¡°Thank you for inviting me to the Duan Family today, but I¡¯d rather not dance.¡± By her side, Duan Xingye was somewhat excited, ¡°Then Weiwei, you can dance with me!¡± His great uncle never had a dance partner, what did he know about dancing? Such matters were best left to him! Duan Feihan¡¯s handsome face darkened slightly, what was this kid talking about? Bai Chuwei appeared disinterested, ¡°No, I¡¯m tired and ready to go home.¡± Bai Chuwei waved her handzily and turned to retrieve Xue Qiu. Barely two steps out, a shocked and urgent voice came from the second-floor resting room of the banquet hall, ¡°Wait!¡± Chapter 124 - 124 Uncle Duan, Hello Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Uncle Duan, Hello Bai Chuwei paused slightly, internally cursing the trouble, and quickened her pace without looking back, heading toward the banquet¡¯s entrance. Still sprawled in the dark corner on the te, Xue Qiu: ¡°???¡± Ahhh! Ancestral spirit, why didn¡¯t you take me with you? Could it be that you think Ball Ball ate too much? QAQ Xue Qiu felt aggrieved and resolutely hoisted a fried chicken leg, longer than its own body, onto its back, leaped down from the bench, and dashed quickly towards Bai Chuwei: ¡®Ancestral spirit, wait for your most beloved Xue Qiu!¡¯ ¡°Xiuqi! What are you doing?¡± Tong Yunrou¡¯s face turned pale as she watched Duan Xiuqi swiftly descend from the upstairs and run through the crowd towards that white figure. A sense of foreboding rose again in her heart¡­ Duan Xiuqi¡¯s gaze was fixed on that figure, and the second he was about to approach Bai Chuwei, a tall, dark figure blocked between them. Duan Feihan obstructed Duan Xiuqi¡¯s line of sight like an imposing distant mountain, his voice cold, ¡°Third Brother, you¡¯re being very rude.¡± Xue Qiu took the opportunity of Bai Chuwei pausing to scurry into her pocket. Bai Chuwei, with a look of disgust, grabbed it along with the fried chicken leg on its back and tossed them out the door, filthy! How dare it stuff a chicken leg into her pocket! ¡°Chuchu!¡± Bai Chuwei frowned and gently massaged her temples with her slender, jade-like fingers, already contemting getting a serving of Spicy Soup to give to Duan Xiuqi. She couldn¡¯t escape it; Duan Xiuqi would probably find his way to the Bai Family instantly. With her delicate hand in her pocket, Bai Chuwei turned her head and looked over, her lips curling into azy smile, ¡°Uncle Duan, hi.¡± The young girl was dressed in a self-made white linen long dress, the hem embroidered with a simple yet imposing red rose, extremely striking against the white fabric. She looked back at him with a hands-behind-back, effulgent smile,zily affectionate brows naturally arching, her lips a tender red, breathtakingly beautiful, as if ethereal clouds hung in the background toplement her. Just like twenty years ago, when he firstid eyes on her during that summer, Bai Chu had dressed the same. Twenty years shed by, and he had long shed his reckless arrogance, gaining maturity and steadiness. And the girl before him, with her beaming smile, seemed just like Bai Chu at eighteen years old. No¡ªno matter how advanced cosmetic medicine is, it¡¯s impossible to maintain someone¡¯s appearance at eighteen!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om One look at Tong Yunrou, and it¡¯s clear. No matter how well the thirty-something Tong Yunrou takes care of herself, people would think she looks in her twenties, but no one would mistake her for an eighteen-year-old high school girl. Duan Xiuqi just stared at Bai Chuwei, speechless for a moment. Perhaps it was his too-intense gaze; Duan Feihan frowned deeply and blocked Bai Chuwei¡¯s front. Bai Chuwei, bored, began to write with her fingers on Duan Feihan¡¯s back, her fingertips gliding over the suit fabric in a strangely enticing way. Bai Chuwei: Can I use a rock to smash your Third Brother? Duan Feihan: ¡°¡­¡± Everyone present could sense that something was amiss, as Tong Yunrou and the butler supported Elder Master Duan downstairs from the second floor. Tong Yunrou, her face deathly white, looked at the girl by the entrance of the hall, her lips trembling, ¡°Bai¡­ Bai¡­ Bai Chu.¡± The woman had returned? Elder Master Duan was also shocked, was that girl from twenty years ago? Upon hearing the name ¡°Bai Chu,¡± everyone¡¯s expression changed, and some reporters even discreetly took out their phones to record¡­ Tong Yunrou suddenly stepped forward and screamed shrilly, ¡°Duan Xiuqi, wake up! She¡¯s not Bai Chu!¡± Chapter 125 - 125 Who are you? Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Who are you? Bai Chuwei smiled radiantly, standing behind Duan Feihan, her fingers continuing to write on his back. Bai Chuwei: I want to smash that woman too. The man didn¡¯t speak, causing Bai Chuwei to be slightly doubtful, and she wrote on his back¡ª¡±Can¡¯t you recognize the words I¡¯m writing?¡± Duan Feihan turned his head to look at her, a hint of helplessness appearing in his dark, deep eyes: ¡°I¡¯ll help youter.¡± Duan Xingye hurried over, confused: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Tong Yunrou was almost going crazy. She suddenly regretted it! Why on earth did she bring Duan Xiuqi here? It was clear that General Manager Qi had invited them for dinner today¡­ Seeing the gaze from Duan Xiuqi, Tong Yunrou felt regret to the point that her guts turned green! What in the world was this situation? Who in Haicheng didn¡¯t know that the Third Master of the Duan Family was waiting for the woman who ran away twenty years ago? Qi Yue liked gossip and, of course, had also researched the melodrama involving the star Duan with her besties. She said in bewilderment: ¡°You must have mistaken her, right? My goddess is in her senior year of high school this year. The person you are talking about should be thirty-eight this year.¡± There¡¯s no way someone would be thirty-eight and attend high school as a senior, right? That would be totally nonsensical! A student nearby nodded in agreement: ¡°Yeah, she¡¯s a new senior transfer student at Henghua First Middle School.¡± Tong Yunrou immediately picked up the conversation, raising her voice: ¡°Exactly, she can¡¯t be Bai Chu! Duan Xiuqi, you must be mistaken.¡± Duan Xiuqi stared at Bai Chuwei, silent. The quieter he was, the more uneasy Tong Yunrou became. The girl in front of them definitely wasn¡¯t Bai Chu, but she looked very, very much like Bai Chu. That meant¡­ she must be rted to Bai Chu! What if Xiuqi found Bai Chu through this girl? Her wedding had already been announced to the whole world¡ªwas it really going to be canceled? Duan Xiuqi¡¯s eyes reddened and his throat felt dry. He finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly: ¡°You¡­ who are you?¡± Bai Chuwei, with her hands sped behind her, smiled at him: ¡°Me? I am your ancestor.¡± The students on the scene got excited¡ªsuch an answer was truly worthy of their chuunibyou goddess! Teasing the movie star! Duan Xiuqi¡¯s hands clenched into fists, asking uncertainly, ¡°Your name?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s red lips curled slightly, ¡°My name is¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, a rush of hurried footsteps came from the entrance of the banquet hall, and several agile special police officers burst in, showing their badges to Duan Feihan and Bai Chuwei. After checking a photo, the lead police officer said to Bai Chuwei: ¡°Miss Bai, it¡¯s you. Pleasee with us.¡± Bai Chuwei: ¡°¡­?¡± Even the esteemed ancestor was startled. What was going on now? Had the police found the interrogation video of Xu Li from Xue Qiu? The officer repeated, a bit more forcefully, ¡°We¡¯re looking for you, please.¡± Bai Chuwei thought for a moment, seeming to understand something, and smiled: ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Bai Chuwei turned and walked away with the police. At the moment she stepped into the police car at the entrance, a strong and agile hand reached in, and the man followed, sitting inside, whispering: ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡± The police officer in front frowned at Duan Feihan: ¡°You are¡­?¡± Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan answered at the same time¡ª Bai Chuwei: ¡°My little brother.¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Duan Feihan: ¡°Her rtive.¡± Aside from the sound of the siren, the interior of the car was silent. Bai Chuwei¡¯s sudden removal stunned the guests, who couldn¡¯t stop their buzzing and melon-eating gossip. Duan Xiuqi snatched the car keys from his manager¡¯s hand and chased into the night. Tong Yunrou called after him in a scream: ¡°Xiuqi!¡± Only Bai Yinyin¡¯s heartbeat thundered like a drum, her entire face flushed with excitement, murmuring to herself: ¡°Bai Chuwei got caught formitting a crime?¡± Chapter 126: New World Chapter 126: Chapter 126: New World ¡°` Well, that¡¯s excellent¡­ At least she hasn¡¯t been taken to the police station before! Bai Yinyin felt even more excited than when she won the second prize in the citywide calligraphypetition, her heart pounding as she immediately took out her phone to make a call, hardly able to contain her excitement: ¡°Mom, Bai Chuwei, that adopted girl, has been caught by the police station. I heard she¡¯s done something wrong!¡± Liu Man and Bai Hongguang were shocked. An adopted daughter who just mooched off them without studying properly and now she had been caught by the police? Liu Man cursed unreservedly, ¡°A disgraceful nuisance, truly bringing shame from her very genes. No one go to the station to bail her out; let her be detained for a few days to suffer.¡± Look at her own daughter, Bai Yinyin, born from her excellent genes? The house was full of Yinyin¡¯s piano trophies and calligraphy certificates. The adopted daughter truly couldn¡¯tpare. Bai Guofu was already old and was asleep at this time, totally oblivious to the incident. * The police car moved slowly in the night, with streetlights shing past the windows. Bai Chuwei leaned casually against the back of the seat, looking through the rearview mirror to see that there was a car following them. The car stopped inside the police station, but the person leading the way did not intend to take her to the hall for interrogation, he said, ¡°Miss Bai, the meeting room, please.¡± They were heading to the meeting room. Bai Chuwei hooked the corner of her lips, looked at the stern-faced Duan Feihan, and patted his shoulder, saying, ¡°Hanhan, wait for me outside.¡± She then turned and followed them, smiling all the way. The meeting room was not big, only a few dozen square meters, with a ring of long tables in the middle and a projector screen hanging on the wall. Inside, several fit men sat, wearing very special uniforms. Bai Chuwei understood and smiled knowingly, pulling out a chair to sit down with an easy familiarity. She ced one hand on the long table and chuckled, ¡°Go ahead.¡± Everyone: ¡°¡­¡± She wasn¡¯t afraid at all; anyone else would be nervous arriving here, but she acted as if she were in her own home. The middle-aged man leading the group casually turned on the projector, and as the video started ying on the screen, he introduced himself, ¡°Miss Bai Chuwei, hello, I¡¯m Zhou Ming from China¡¯s Unnatural Management Bureau. We mainly handle cases like Master Sun¡¯s.¡± The video showed her sitting inside a taxi and then suddenly disappearing. Bai Chuwei, propping up her chin, said, ¡°So what?¡± Zhou Mingughed and said, ¡°Miss Bai is very smart, you must already know the reason we¡¯re looking for you today. Over the past twenty or so years, as spiritual energy has resurfaced, it has gradually given rise to cultivators and superpower users. Miss Bai, you might consider joining us.¡± Bai Chuwei understood; it was all about banding together. Whether ordinary people or cultivators, people from China liked to stick together. ¡°If Miss Bai joins, we will provide you with arge number of cultivation materials, spirit stones, spirit talismans, and array manuals that have been passed down for a thousand years.¡± Upon hearing this, Bai Chuwei was amused, ¡°No need, I¡¯m not interested in those.¡± Seeing Bai Chuwei uninterested, Zhou Ming frowned and reminded, ¡°Miss Bai might not be aware that there¡¯s an organization of superpower users abroad, the demonic cultivators, who often engage in dangerous activities. Joining us is not about restricting your freedom, but about ensuring your safety.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curved up, ¡°You¡¯re talking about New World?¡± All present were startled; Bai Chuwei knew about that foreign superpower user organization? N?v(el)B\\jnn The matriarch shifted leisurely into another position, her long fingers tapping erratically on the table, which in the silent meeting room sounded particrly jarring. She smiled slightly, ¡°Then it wouldn¡¯t hurt to share a piece of news with you all. New World was established twenty years ago by demonic cultivators from China. Oh, their original name was Demon Domain.¡± Zhou Ming was aghast, ¡°What?!¡± Could it be that Bai Chuwei had more information than they did? Chapter 127: You Think Too Highly of Yourself and Too Little of Bai Chu Chapter 127: Chapter 127: You Think Too Highly of Yourself and Too Little of Bai Chu Over twenty years ago when the spiritual energy just began to revive, anyone could be an immortal, and among them were some with questionable character. Later on, that group of demonic cultivators established the Demon Domain. Bai Chuwei was wandering around Haicheng at that time simply to find her pet fox and didn¡¯t pay any heed to those people. As a result, she ended up being targeted by that group of demonic cultivators instead. The demonic cultivators learned from Duan Xiuqi that she had a heart condition and tricked her. Subsequently, China urgently established the Unnatural Management Bureau, and that group of demonic cultivators ran off abroad. There¡¯s a saying that pigs should be fattened before being ughtered, and she didn¡¯t mind finding some free time one day to go abroad and wipe them out in one fell swoop. Bai Chuwei knew the purpose of Zhou Ming and his group seeking her out. Even though the spiritual energy had been revived for over twenty years, the number of people who truly practiced immortality was still very few, so they tried to recruit as many as possible. Bai Chuwei looked out at the vast night sky through the window, suddenly clicked her tongue in disapproval, thinking how these people were truly wasting such excellent conditions of the revived spiritual energy. Bai Chuwei stood up andzily walked outside, ¡°I¡¯m tired, I¡¯m going home first.¡± She left behind a group of stunned people. The news was too stirring, too shocking. They must investigate! The moment Bai Chuwei stepped out of the meeting room, two tall figures swiftly approached her. Duan Feihan¡¯s pitch-ck pupils were fixated on Bai Chuwei, he scrutinized her and asked, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Bai Chuwei gave a hum ofughter, ¡°Of course not.¡± The gaze from aside was too intense; Duan Xiuqi stared at her, pressing further, ¡°What is your real name?¡± Bai Chuwei, with her hands behind her back, said with a smile, ¡°My name is Bai Chuwei.¡± Duan Xiuqi staggered back a step, Tong Yunrou eximed in a thrilled tone, ¡°Xiuqi, look, I told you, she¡¯s not Bai Chu! She¡¯s just an 18-year-old high school student!¡± Duan Xiuqi seemed somewhat distraught, ¡°You also have the surname Bai? Is Chuchu your¡­ aunt?¡± But why did they look so alike? They were as if carved out of the same mold! n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Duan Xiuqi instinctively wanted to reach for his phone topare photos in his album, but suddenly, he remembered something¡ªthey didn¡¯t have any photos together. Bai Chuwei, hands still behind her back, remained nomittal. ¡°Where is your aunt now?¡± Duan Xiuqi asked eagerly. Bai Chuwei intended to say that she was dead, but then she remembered that she had been sending letters daily under the name Bai Chu, demanding repayments of four billion from the Tong Family. She couldn¡¯t very well pretend to be dead, could she? So she made something up on the fly, ¡°Abroad, married with kids.¡± Married! Like a bolt from the blue, Duan Xiuqi¡¯s face went pale, he muttered to himself, ¡°She got married abroad? And never returned?¡± The man in his thirties had a hint of crimson in his eyes, his hands clenched into fists, ¡°Why? Because I insisted she marry me? She knew I was doing it to protect her!¡± At eighteen, Duan Xiuqi was quite confident. Aside from being a bit of a nonconformist, he had good looks and a good family, and a passable character. It didn¡¯t matter that Bai Chu didn¡¯t like him then; he was determined to win her over! He identally learned that an organization called the Demon Domain was after her, and the only solution he could think of was to make her be part of the Duan Family, to be protected by the entire family. Unfortunately, Bai Chu did not appreciate the gesture. Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes, as deep as the night, stared fixedly at Duan Xiuqi with a light chuckle, ¡°You think too highly of yourself, and you underestimate¡­ Bai Chu.¡± It was precisely because Duan Xiuqi¡¯s initial intention was to protect her that Bai Chuwei, a person who never forgot a grudge, even though she resented him, had not sought revenge against him in all these twenty years. ¡°Enough, I¡¯ll take you home,¡± said Duan Feihan, his cool hand suddenly reaching out, pulling Bai Chuwei¡¯s wrist. Bai Chuwei was stunned for a moment, then fiercely shook off Duan Feihan¡¯s hand, righteously dering, ¡°Hanhan, you¡¯re not keeping your word.¡± Chapter 128: Dont Even Know How to Coax People? Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Don¡¯t Even Know How to Coax People? Duan Feihan was first taken aback, then suddenly understood. Previously, Bai Chuwei had said she wanted to use a rock to smash his third brother¡¯s head¡­ Bai Chuwei looked at him with suspicion, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you were just trying to coax me? You¡¯re too straightforward, aren¡¯t you, barely knowing how to coax someone?¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s eyebrows raised slightly, his deep voice slow, like an earl in the dark night, ¡°Then tell me, how should one coax?¡± Bai Chuwei opened her mouth, ready to respond, but then she suddenly realized something. Heh, was the future antagonist trying to trap her? Her eyes twinkling with cunning, Bai Chuwei purposefully used a soft and cute, milky voice, ¡°You want a hug, so I¡¯ll give you a hug.¡± This was something that a certain four-year-old future antagonist had once said to her. Duan Feihan was suddenly struck, that phrase sounded so familiar¡­ Duan Feihan¡¯s personal driver had already driven over, and Bai Chuwei headed to the back door of the car as if she knew it well. ¡°Bai Chuwei, wait¡ª¡ª¡± Duan Xiuqi shook off Tong Yunrou¡¯s hand and chased after her. Bai Chuwei got into the car without looking back, leisurely taking out her phone, preparing to call Qi Yue, and said indifferently without lifting her head, ¡°Uncle Duan, I only have one message for my aunt, wishing you a happy marriage.¡± Duan Xiuqi stood there stiff, watching the fourth¡¯s car disappear into the night¡­ Wishing him a happy marriage. Duan Xiuqi felt like an eggnt hit by frost, all his energy drained in an instant, with only one thought pulsating in his mind¡ª¡±She got married¡±. Bai Chu had gotten married, and he had no reason to keep waiting. * Qi Yue was extremely excited, for just ten minutes before, her goddess had called her. ¡°How about helping me sort the list of students who made medical appointments at school? I¡¯ll pay you.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Qi Yue, with saliva flying, said, ¡°Money? How could I take your money, goddess? It¡¯s just sorting a list for you, leave it to me!¡± The medical appointment fee at school remained at two thousand yuan without an increase, but Qi Yue had to screen out students with good morals to be eligible. Two thousand yuan didn¡¯t mean much to Bai Chuwei, the money was secondary, what mattered most was character. Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t want to treat students with bad behavior. Don¡¯t think she didn¡¯t know; some students practiced verbal or indirect aggression, intentionally ying cruel pranks on others. To treat such people, she might as well attend to a piece of char siu! Duan Xingye and Su Ruan were both upied with college entrance exams, Qi Yue was a freshman in high school, and on top of that, a huge gossip, so having her help was quite fitting. After all, the Qi Family had been serving her for generations. Qi Yue didn¡¯t find it troublesome, but felt honored instead. Returning home, she saw the light on in Qi Mo¡¯s study and thought he was busy with work, but then she heard from inside, ¡°Dear friends, remember to send me gifts, okay?¡± He was watching a live stream again. Qi Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. Her brother was great in all aspects but had recently, for some reason, be obsessed with a female streamer, even gifting her a substantial sum of money, acting as if he were bewitched. Her brother used to be the kind who loved reading books and newspapers! Qi Yue couldn¡¯t really tell her brother what to do and cheerfully went back to her room to prepare the list for tomorrow¡¯s consultations. Bai Chuwei made quite the impression at the Duan Family banquet, receiving over a hundred consultation appointments! Qi Yue thoughtfully made a list and set the time and ce for noon at 1 PM, in the school garden pavilion. Bai Chuwei only saw three patients a day, with the first two being oddballs who snagged appointments despite not being sick. After waiting for a while, just as Bai Chuwei was bing impatient, a figure cautiously made his way from a corner of the garden, looking around nervously and stammering, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m here to see¡­¡± Qi Yue looked and felt very disappointed, ¡°You don¡¯t seem to be nearsighted, do you? You look fine to me!¡± Qi Yue became slightly displeased, ¡°If you¡¯re not sick, can you not juste for the excitement? You¡¯re wasting my goddess¡¯ rest time!¡± Bai Chuwei rested her chin on her hand, watching the boy in front of her with interest, her red lips slightly upturned, ¡°No, he¡¯s not tall enough.¡± Chapter 129: One Hundred Thousand per Centimeter! Chapter 129: Chapter 129: One Hundred Thousand per Centimeter! The boy suddenly got excited; he quickly scooted over and sat down, saying somewhat sheepishly, ¡°You¡¯re amazing, Bai. You knew exactly what I came for! Hello, I¡¯m Cao Yushu, a student from the senior year, ss eight.¡± Qi Yue didn¡¯t even have to think before proudly saying, ¡°Of course, do you even know who this is? She¡¯s my goddess!¡± Bai Chuwei smiled and rested her chin on her hand. Even though the boy in front of her couldn¡¯t be considered a top-tier handsome guy, he still had a refinely attractive face. She had sneaked a nce earlier and didn¡¯t notice any sickness in his body, except for his height. Out of curiosity, Qi Yue asked, ¡°I hope you don¡¯t mind me asking, but how tall are you, exactly?¡± Cao Yushu¡¯s face turned beet red, and he said in a very soft, embarrassed voice, ¡°I¡¯m wearing height-increasing insoles¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m 165cm barefoot.¡± At those words, Qi Yue gasped in surprise; she herself was 162cm! The goddess was even taller, at 170cm.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Bai Chuwei smiled at Cao Yushu and said, ¡°Height isrgely determined by gics. Your parents probably aren¡¯t very tall, are they?¡± Cao Yushu felt his heart sinking upon hearing that. Being able to attend Henghua First Middle School meant his family was well off, and he also had a good appearance and above-average grades. But having lived for eighteen years, he had never received a love letter or confession from a girl. Justst week, he was publicly ridiculed by a girl in his ss, calling him a shorty. Short girls can wear high heels, but what about them men? There¡¯s a saying that a man at 170cm is second-ss handicapped, and below that, he is a dwarf. Look at Duan Xingye and Xu Xingchen. Aren¡¯t they all around 180cm, attracting screams and surrounded by girls wherever they go? Oh, of course, Xu Xingchen didn¡¯te to school today, so let¡¯s not mention him. Cao Yushu had tried various bone growth supplements in private, drank milk every day, and even consulted doctors, all to no avail. Even his parents felt guilty about his height due to the unfortunate gics. Having heard that Bai Chuwei could even cure nearsightedness, Cao Yushu approached her with a ¡®try even if it¡¯s a lost cause¡¯ mentality and managed to snatch an appointment. But what Bai Chuwei said felt like a bucket of cold water poured over him. Cao Yushu gave a wry smile, stood up, and said, ¡°I understand, Bai. There¡¯s no use forcing gic issues. I¡¯ll just let nature take its course from now on.¡± As Cao Yushu was about to walk away, Bai Chuwei suddenly called out to him, ¡°Cao, your consultation fee.¡± Cao Yushu paused, then turned back with a smile, ¡°Are you referring to the consultation fee, Bai? It¡¯s fine, you keep it. But I hope you and junior Qi Yue will keep this a secret for me.¡± If those girls in his ss found out he went to Bai Chuwei about his height, the rumors would make a big fuss again, bing theughingstock of the ss. Bai Chuwei, propping up her chin, nced at Qi Yue and said indifferently, ¡°Qi Yue, since he doesn¡¯t want treatment, give him back his two thousand consultation fee. I don¡¯t want his money.¡± The little garden suddenly fell silent; all that could be heard was the sound of the wind¡­ A minuteter, Cao Yushu suddenly rushed back, his eyes aze, ¡°Bai, did you¡­ did you say you could help me grow taller?¡± The real business had finally arrived! Bai Chuwei smiled slightly, her smile innocently harmless, ¡°It depends on how much taller you want to be.¡± Cao Yushu was almost crazy with excitement, ¡°Me? Of course, I want to be over 180cm¡­ ah, 170cm is also good.¡± Seeing the gleam in Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes, Qi Yue immediately understood and held up an index finger, dering, ¡°Ten thousand per centimeter!¡± Two million for twenty centimeters, given that the Cao Family owns a star-rated restaurant, they¡¯re loaded! Before Cao Yushu could say anything, Bai Chuwei righteously chided Qi Yue, ¡°Is that how you take people¡¯s money? As a healer, you must have a conscience!¡± Did she think everyone was like Duan Feihan whom she could easily deceive out of three hundred million? ¡°If you want over 180cm, give me two hundred years of wild Spiritual Medicine, and for 170cm, seventy or eighty years will do.¡± Qi Yue: ¡°???¡± Goddess, isn¡¯t that way more extortionate? Chapter 130 - 130 I, Xu Xingchen, Must be Struck by Lightning! Chapter 130: Chapter 130 I, Xu Xingchen, Must be Struck by Lightning! Two hundred-year-old wild Spiritual Medicine? Wild ginseng, Lingzhi mushrooms, Snow Lotus, cordyceps, and more are all eptable! Cao Yushu felt dazed and responded subconsciously, ¡°My family does indeed have medicines like wild ginseng. Sometimes my dad uses Spiritual Medicine when making medicinal dishes.¡± His family had been chefs for generations, and in ancient times, they were even Imperial Chefs. In this generation, his father was a star chef, while his mother had opened a star-rated restaurant in Haicheng, which was highly praised among the city¡¯s elite. At market price, two hundred-year-old wild ginseng could sell for 2.5 million. To spend that money on twenty centimeters of height¡­ Cao Yushu thought¡ªit was a damn good deal! His parents would definitely agree 100%. Bai Chuwei curled her lips; the deal was as good as done. They agreed to meet after school at Cao Yushu¡¯s house to give him the acupuncture treatment. ¡°Also, ask your dad to wait for me at home, I have a bigger deal to discuss with him.¡± Cao Yushu: ¡°?¡± What did she want with his dad? *n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om When Bai Chuwei returned to the ssroom, only one light was on, and many ssmates were resting their heads on their desks, but she didn¡¯t see Duan Xingye. Bai Chuwei raised her eyebrows in surprise. That brat Duan Xingye seized every moment to study, even using lunch breaks to work on problems. Where had he run off to now? A bird flew in through the window andnded on her fingertip, chirping. Bai Chuwei furrowed her brows and turned to head towards the sports storage room of Henghua First Middle School. She was still some distance away when she could vaguely hear the conversation between two people. ¡°Xingye, I didn¡¯t tell you we were brothers because I didn¡¯t want to distract you from the college entrance exams,¡± Xu Xingchen said, painfully looking at Duan Xingye standing three meters away in the dark corner of the wall. Duan Xingyeughed cynically, ¡°So you decided to treat me like a fool? Fine, then why, when you suspected what your mom was going to do to me, didn¡¯t you warn me? If it weren¡¯t for Bai Chuwei saving me, I would have died to clear the way for you!¡± Xu Xingchen kept shaking his head. He had taken the day off to visit Duan Feihan at Ruishi Entertainment, but he never met his uncle and was driven out instead. The assistant said bluntly, ¡°In the Duan Family¡¯s younger generation, we¡¯ve only ever heard of Young Master Xingye.¡± Yes, why would Duan Feihan ever let him return to the Duan Family? Xu Xingchen was confident enough that if he returned to the Duan Family, he would certainly be able to gain a foothold and secure his own position. Duan Feihan controlled the Duan Family¡¯s power, and he was a threat to this uncle. Xu Xingchen realized Duan Feihan had a heart of stone; not only would he not plead on his behalf to their grandfather, he might even kick him while he was down. By nature, Duan Xingye was more likely to be merciful and help him, which is why Xu Xingchen hade to the school. Xu Xingchen¡¯s face was pale as he murmured, ¡°Xingye, doesn¡¯t our friendship over so many years count as brotherhood? My mom was arrested, and I heard fromwyers she might be imprisoned for three years. Years ago, my mom¡¯s rtives stopped wanting to see us, and it¡¯sughable that I have a grandfather, uncles, and even brothers but am still without a home.¡± Duan Xingye was bouncing a basketball, his expression changing subtly but he remained silent. The only sound in the sports storage room was the basketball hitting the ground. Bai Chuwei pushed the door open and watched Xu Xingchen with interest. As soon as Xu Xingchen saw Bai Chuwei, his expression changed. It was her again! He couldn¡¯t understand it; he had been quite nice to Bai Chuwei from the beginning, so why did she keep harming him? Whenever Bai Chuwei came, nothing good ever happened! Bai Chuwei asked with a smile, ¡°Why stop the sob story?¡± Possibly provoked by Bai Chuwei, Xu Xingchen¡¯s handsome face turned red with anger, and he suddenly pointed at the clear sky outside, blurting out a vow, ¡°If I had ever harbored any thoughts of harming Duan Xingye, may I, Xu Xingchen, be struck by lightning!¡± Bai Chuwei looked at him with a strange expression, ¡°Are you sure you want to be struck by lightning?¡± Chapter 131: He Really Got Struck by Lightning Chapter 131: Chapter 131: He Really Got Struck by Lightning Ah, it¡¯s been quite a while since I¡¯ve seen someone wish to be struck by lightning. Xu Xingchen gritted his teeth and corrected, ¡°I don¡¯t¡­ I don¡¯t have such ill intentions, how could I possibly wish to be struck by lightning?¡± Xu Xingchen dared not look into Duan Xingye¡¯s eyes after he uttered those words. In fact, Duan Xingye had shared bits and pieces about the Duan Family with him before, such as his fourth uncle taking him to y golf, his third uncle getting the signature of a celebrity for him, his second aunt sending him thetest designs in men¡¯s clothes, and him usually drinking tea and reading the newspaper or going fishing with his grandfather. Sometimes, lying in his bedte at night, Xu Xingchen would fleetingly think that if Duan Xingye didn¡¯t exist in this world, perhaps he could return to the Duan Family and do even better than Duan Xingye. Xu Xingchen looked outside at the weather; today was bright and sunny. Thunder? There wouldn¡¯t be any thunder for the entire following week! Bai Chuwei sneered coldly, ¡°Hero, you really aren¡¯t afraid of having gods above your head!¡± The ancestors have always been generous, they would definitely satisfy such a minor request. Duan Xingye tossed the basketball aside and headed out, ¡°I¡¯m going back to study. Xu Xingchen, stop looking for me in the future. Grandfather announced publicly that you won¡¯t be allowed back into the Duan Family, and I¡¯m powerless to change that.¡± Duan Xingye had actually thought that, if it hadn¡¯t been for the incident with the fall, if Xu Xingchen hade clean to him, he definitely would have helped him return to the Duan Family. But the thought that Xu Xingchen might have guessed what his mother nned to do to him and still gave no warning, chilled his heart. Duan Xingye felt a sense of loss, while Bai Chuwei walked beside him using her phone¡¯s virtual keyboard. ¡°Weiwei, who are you messaging?¡± Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t even lift her head, ¡°Reminding your fourth uncle that it¡¯s going to rainter.¡± After all, she wanted Duan Feihan to be her underling, and as his future boss, she needed to remind him and show off her capabilities whenever she could. Duan Xingye looked up at the sunny sky, rain? He wondered if Bai Chuwei was a cultivator, but even a cultivator couldn¡¯t possibly be powerful enough to make it rain, right? Could Bai Chuwei predict the weather? Still, if it did rain, it wouldn¡¯t matter. They wouldn¡¯t get wet in the ssroom during ss.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om The two got back to the ssroom, and just as they sat down, Duan Xingye looked outside and his expression turned strange, ¡°Why is it getting cloudy?¡± Bai Chuwei casually flipped her hair and brought down her books from the windowsill, as if it were nothing. Downstairs, Xu Xingchen looked upset as the principal, Huang, talked to him. Principal Huang, too, had heard about the illegitimate child and spoke earnestly, ¡°Xu student, you should focus on your studies right now. I know you asked for leave today, but I hope you cane to school tomorrow.¡± A ¡°boom¡± sounded as a bolt of lightning tore across the sky! That p of thunder startled the students from their nap, causing them to crowd towards the windows. Even Xu Xingchen jumped at the sound. How, how did it start thundering? Could it be such a coincidence? Principal Huang, undisturbed by the falling raindrops, looked at Xu Xingchen with worry, ¡°Xu student, you know your current situation. If you perform excellently in the college entrance exams, who knows? The old master of the Duan Family might change his mind. You should¡­¡± Principal Huang droned on and on. Meanwhile, the sky resounded with thunder, andrge raindrops began to fall. Principal Huang felt she hadn¡¯t finished speaking and reached out to pull Xu Xingchen to the teaching building to shelter from the rain and continue talking. But from across the teaching building, students began to shout, ¡°Principal Huang, don¡¯t pull him, Xu Xingchen run!¡± Both were shocked; Xu Xingchen instinctively looked up and was met with a blinding white sh followed by the smell of burning. Before he passed out, one phrase shed across his mind¡ª He really got struck by lightning. Chapter 132 - 132 I understand what you mean Chapter 132: Chapter 132 I understand what you mean The lunch break wasn¡¯t over yet when the thunderp jolted the students awake, with everyone crowding at the windows to peer down. Someone shouted, ¡°Xu Xingchen got struck by lightning!!¡± Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Xingcheny on the ground, his fate unknown; his previously well-groomed hair instantly turned into a bird¡¯s nest, and his clothes were scorched. Duan Xingye stood up abruptly to look down, staring in shock at the Xu Xingchen lying on the ground. A ssmate teased, ¡°What¡¯s up with Xu Xingchen? He didn¡¯t get hit by lightning for making a vow, did he? Duan Xingye¡­ he didn¡¯t really make a vow, did he?¡± Duan Xingye also thought ¡®what the fuck¡¯, and muttered, ¡°He¡­ he just made a vow to me¡­¡± And then he was struck. ¡°What the fuck, even the heavens can¡¯t stand him?¡± ¡°Do you guys feel like this scene seems familiar? Like we¡¯ve seen it somewhere before.¡± ¡°You mean when Tong Qingyan was attacked by bird poopst time? It does seem quite simr,e to think of it, these two are quite a match.¡± The students chattered away, and the school security staff had already rushed over to rescue. The principal, enjoying tea and the spring rain in his office, heard the news: ¡°¡­¡± Would this trouble the school? This lightning strike really wasn¡¯t within their school¡¯s control! The news of Xu Xingchen being struck spread like wildfire throughout Henghua First Middle School, with students cramming the windows to gawk and gossip. Tong Qingyan watched the scene of Xu Xingchen being carried away on a stretcher to the hospital with mixed feelings. She didn¡¯t expect they would both experience such a pitiable event; maybe she should find an opportunity to visit him. Bai Chuwei wasn¡¯t interested in Xu Xingchen being struck. The male lead was unlikely to die. She supported her chin with one hand while texting with Duan Feihan on WeChat. She had just sent a hinting message to Duan Feihan, suggesting her capabilities. [Your ancestral highness: It¡¯s going to rainter, Little Hanhan remember to bring an umbre yo.] Duan Feihan hadn¡¯t replied yet. Just now, it was sunny outside, and suddenly heavy rain began to pour. The rain seemed unlikely to stop easily. Inside Ruishi Entertainment, a group of staff sighed and discussed, ¡°Why did it suddenly start thundering and raining? I didn¡¯t bring an umbre today!¡± A female stafferughed, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s another scumbag making a poisonous vow and getting struck by lightning.¡± Duan Feihan had juste out from a meeting. Standing before the window with one hand in his pocket, he watched the rain pouring outside, then nced at the ck mobile phone in his hand with lowered eyes. It¡¯s true that one should carry an umbre when it rains. But¡­ he was working in his office and would ride home in his private car. There was no need for an umbre. What did Bai Chuwei mean by that WeChat message? Duan Feihan handed his phone to his personal assistant Xiaozhou, ¡°What does this mean?¡± Xiaozhou was somewhat ttered as he held Duan Feihan¡¯s phone in both hands. ncing at the note ¡°Chuwei¡± with no surname indicated, the rtionship must be special, plus the sender was calling Duan the CEO ¡°Little Hanhan¡±¡ªyikes, how cheesy! Xiaozhou looked at the message, and suddenly had a moment of realization, ¡°CEO Duan, women are creatures who speak in riddles and mean one thing but say another. She¡¯s not telling you to watch out for rain umbres, she¡¯s hinting that she doesn¡¯t have one and wants you to pick her up.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s brows slightly furrowed, ¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t seem like a girl who beat around the bush¡ªa straight talker, acting directly on her intentions. Xiaozhou, the assistant, confidently pped his chest, ¡°Definitely! CEO, I understand women better than you do!¡± Duan Feihan knew that Xiaozhou had been in rtionships for many years and had more experience in this field, so he took his phone back and replied to Bai Chuwei. [Duan Feihan: I understand your hint.] N?v(el)B\\jnn Bai Chuwei, finally receiving a reply, smiled with satisfaction. She¡¯d said it before, following her as a junior was worthwhile. Good that he understood. Chapter 133: If You Come to Pick Me Up, Then I Don’t Need an Umbrella Chapter 133: Chapter 133: If You Come to Pick Me Up, Then I Don¡¯t Need an Umbre The rain was heavy, showing no signs of stopping. Bai Chuwei packed up her schoolbag and nced at Duan Xingye, who seemed a bit worried. Offhandedly she said, ¡°Xu Xingchen¡¯s life is much tougher than yours; at worst he¡¯ll suffer some superficial pain, but he won¡¯t die.¡± Xu Xingchen and Tong Qingyan were the male and female leads of this book, the children of fortune, who were not so easy to die. Bai Chuwei picked up a transparent white umbre by her feet and shouldered her schoolbag as she walked out. Cao Yushu sneaked like a thief, keeping a long distance from Bai Chuwei and whispered, ¡°ssmate Bai, my driver is waiting outside, let¡¯s head out first.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyebrows lifted slightly as she asked with a smile, ¡°Do you have so little faith in my medical skills?¡± Cao Yushu¡¯s handsome face turned red in an instant, his head shaking like a rattle. He just felt it was too unbelievable. Others, seeing him following Bai Chuwei, would certainly guess he was going to her for medical treatment, and although he was good in all other respects, his height was his fatal w. If it couldn¡¯t be cured, then the girls in ss would again ridicule him, calling him a shorty who still struggled. After thinking it over, Bai Chuwei said, ¡°You tell those people, if anyone still mocks you as a shorty, I will not ept any of their appointments or registrations.¡± She was most annoyed by verbal abuse. Cao Yushu¡¯s eyes welled up; he opened the umbre with some difficulty and held it above Bai Chuwei¡¯s head, as she was even taller than him. Bai Chuwei stepped out from under his umbre, opened her transparent one, and said, ¡°I can hold my own.¡± The two of them walked out of the school one after the other. A ck sedan pulled up at the entrance, its tires kicking up a small spray of water. Seeing the unworldly handsome man, Bai Chuwei was somewhat surprised, ¡°Hanhan, howe you¡¯re here?¡± Feihan quietly sized up Cao Yushu standing beside Bai Chuwei, who was unremarkable, not evenparable to his nephew. N?v(el)B\\jnn Feihan shifted his gaze and answered, ¡°You didn¡¯t have an umbre, so I came to pick you up.¡± The smile on Bai Chuwei¡¯s face gradually faded; did they understand the same thing? Hadn¡¯t they agreed that he would be herckey? Feihan looked at Bai Chuwei perplexedly as the smile on her face fell, his eyes then falling on the transparent umbre in her hands, ¡°It just seems that you do have an umbre.¡± Feihan began to doubt that Xiaozhou also misunderstood Bai Chuwei¡¯s intentions. Bai Chuwei took a deep breath and stered a smile back on her face, her eyes alight with scorchingughter, as she walked towards an old man nearby. The old man had descended from a small car and stood at the entrance without an umbre, frowning. Bai Chuwei thrust the umbre at him, ¡°Old sir, this is for you.¡± The old man was somewhat surprised, his voice carrying the ent of the Imperial Capital, ¡°Thank you, student.¡± Clearly, the old man was from the Imperial Capital. Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t mind, her face full of smiles as she approached Feihan and leaned on the car window. A drop of rain fell quietly onto the back of her hand, spreading silently. Her voice sounded like a spring breeze making a round on the morning dew, ¡°If you¡¯re here to pick me up, then I don¡¯t need an umbre.¡± Her eyes carried the faint light of a spring day, bright and dazzling. She watched as Feihan rubbed the Sandalwood Buddhist Beads on his left wrist, his ears tinged red, and inexplicably said, ¡°Now focus on academics, don¡¯t let other things distract you.¡± Bai Chuwei sighed inwardly; what was up with this future antagonist? In the past five thousand years, others had sought to be herckeys. Why was it so awkward for him to be one, and he still had to prioritize academics? The rain continued to pour. Cao Yushu, holding the umbre hesitantly, interjected quietly, ¡°Bai¡­ ssmate Bai, are we still going to my ce today?¡± ¡°Yes! Of course, we¡¯re going!¡± Feihan¡¯s gaze turned sharp, ¡°You, a girl, are going to a male ssmate¡¯s house after school in the evening?¡± Chapter 134 - 134 You Didn’t Say That Just Now Chapter 134: Chapter 134 You Didn¡¯t Say That Just Now Can¡¯t go to a boy¡¯s house in the evening? She has been at school all day, this is the only time she can go! Bai Chuwei thought for a moment and said, ¡°If I can¡¯t go in the evening, how about in the dead of night?¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s pupils deepened, convinced that if Bai Chuwei could say it, she could definitely do it too. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t mind at all, and directly opened the car door, got in with practiced ease, and even called out to Cao Yushu. Cao Yushu hesitated for a moment, then sat in the passenger seat with his backpack in hisp, instructing the driver to follow the white private car in front. The two cars left the school gate, and the elderly gentleman with graying hair turned back with a smile: ¡°There are not many young people who understand manners these days.¡± He said, walking towards the school with a transparent umbre in hand. The car was exceptionally quiet. Duan Feihan noticed Cao Yushu was extremely tense and wondered to himself, was he so frightening? The girl beside him was not afraid at all. She stretched out her foot and kicked his ankle. Duan Feihan¡¯s gaze shifted slightly to her face. Bai Chuwei felt that Duan Feihan, this antagonist, was really too difficult to deal with. After thinking over her words carefully, she asked, ¡°Hanhan, what do you think of Qi Mo?¡± Qi Mo? How did the topic shift to Qi Mo? Duan Feihan¡¯s slender fingers with calluses rested on the back of his other hand. Although he didn¡¯t know Bai Chuwei¡¯s intention in mentioning Qi Mo, he gave a very fair assessment, ¡°In today¡¯s China, with the decline of the eight great families, Qi Mo can be regarded as a central pir among them, a capablepetitor.¡± Bai Chuwei snorted coldly in her heart; wasn¡¯t the decline of the eight great families due to Duan Feihan¡¯s suppression? If she hadn¡¯t stayed away these twenty years, and if she gave them another push, she could still make the Duan Family fall! ¡°Is that so? Qi Mo is indeed an excellent sessor. As long as you choose, you can actually do it too! Even better and more perfect than him,¡± Bai Chuwei moved closer to Duan Feihan, her soft voice carrying a hint of seduction. Power, status, wealth, beauty¡ªshe could help him attain all of it. Excellent? Perfect? Duan Feihan peered at Bai Chuwei¡¯s sparkling eyes, and said in a detached voice quite unexpectedly, ¡°Actually, he¡¯s not that great.¡± Bai Chuwei: ¡°???¡± Hey, that¡¯s not what you just said! You just described him as a capablepetitor! The reason she descended from the mountains and first contacted a leader of the eight great families was Qi Mo. That was because he stood out as an exceptional youth among the declining families, making it safer for him to serve her ancestors. Duan Feihan tapped his knee lightly with his fingers, his tone indifferent, ¡°He really isn¡¯t much. In the past few months, he¡¯s gotten obsessed with a female streamer on mypany¡¯s Salted Fish app and has tipped a lot of money.¡± n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om They could see the actual name records in the backend, and it was indeed Qi Mo. Initially, he thought she was a streamer with depth and excellence, but she turned out to be a woman who made suggestive contentte at night. Bai Chuwei raised an eyebrow slightly. Qi Mo was obsessed with a streamer? She hadn¡¯t heard about this. Bai Chuwei wanted to say something more, but Cao Yushu from up front timidly said, ¡°Fourth Master Duan, ssmate Bai, we¡¯ve arrived at my ce.¡± The Cao Family, of course, couldn¡¯tpare to the Duan Family, but their small Chinese-style vi was also beautifully built, with pavilions and terraces surrounded by water and a small vegetable garden in the yard. The three of them got out of the car and walked toward the house. Bai Chuwei and Cao Yushu were both wearing Henghua First Middle School uniforms. As soon as they stepped through the gate of the Cao Family, the butler happened to see Bai Chuwei immediately. After a few seconds of shock, he suddenly sprinted towards the kitchen, shouting with excitement, ¡°Master, Madam, our young master has brought a girlfriend home!!¡± Chapter 135 - 135 The Buttons on Your Sleeve Are Going to be Ripped Off Chapter 135: Chapter 135 The Buttons on Your Sleeve Are Going to be Ripped Off Their young master had never brought a female ssmate home before, so in the eyes of the old butler, bringing someone home indicated that, at the very least, there was a romantic interest. The three of them exchanged looks. Cao Yushu nervously nced at Duan Feihan and exined, ¡°You see, Fourth Master, my family¡¯s butler, he¡­¡± Duan Feihan adjusted his cufflinks with an indifferent tone, ¡°Vision¡¯s getting blurry in old age.¡± Bai Chuwei blinked and suddenly called out, ¡°Hanhan, you¡¯re about to rip off the button on your sleeve.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s fingers didn¡¯t stiffen, and he let them fall back into his pocket, ¡°¡­Oh.¡± Soon, a short middle-aged couple came from the Cao Family kitchen, along with that disappointed old butler. Clearly, Cao Yushu¡¯s parents were already aware that Bai Chuwei wasing, and she was there to see a patient, not for a romantic encounter! However, when they came out and saw Duan Feihan next to Bai Chuwei, the couple was stunned. ¡°Duan¡­ Fourth Master Duan? To what do we owe the honor of your visit?¡± Cao Yushu¡¯s father, Cao Jinhai, asked cautiously. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Although they were acquainted, their interactions with Duan Feihan were few and far between. Duan Feihan said, ¡°It¡¯s raining outside, I gave her a ride here.¡± From his words, it seemed that there was something special about the rtionship between these two. Cao Jinhai and his wife, Zhao Simeng, had been a loving couple for many years, but they had always felt a sense of guilt towards their son, Cao Yushu. Both parents were naturally short, resulting in their son also being quite short, and up to this day, he hadn¡¯t had even one girlfriend. The couple examined Bai Chuwei, who looked around the same age as their son, Cao Yushu. She seemed like a pure high school girl, casting doubts in their minds. A two-hundred-year-old wild ginseng was not a concern for them; no matter how valuable, could it be more important than their son? But wasn¡¯t Bai Chuwei supposed to be an expert in treating shortsightedness, an ophthalmologist? How did she suddenly get involved with orthopedics? Bai Chuwei had grown ustomed to these doubting looks. After all, having lived for five thousand years, she always appeared to be eighteen. Bai Chuwei flicked her hair and said, ¡°For such a minor illness, I could have sent my apprentice to administer the acupuncture. My presence here is because I have an additional request.¡± ¡°I¡¯d like to order a meal, a table of gourmet dishes.¡± When Cao Jinhai heard this, he couldn¡¯t helpughing heartily, ¡°Just a table of gourmet food, there¡¯s nothing else uncle might not be good at, but I do know how to cook!¡± The pride of a star-rated chef. ¡°Name any dish, and I can make it for you without a doubt!¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curved into a meaningful smile, ¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Chuwei was very pretty, and she had a look that particrly appealed to the older generation. Although the couple didn¡¯t hold much hope, they were willing to try. The group proceeded to Cao Yushu¡¯s room, where Bai Chuwei took down her empty backpack and pulled out an acupuncture kit. With a gentle push, the silver needles embedded there glinted chillingly under the light, making the Cao Family members swallow nervously. Those needles¡­ they were really long! Getting pierced by them must hurt a lot, right? The butler leaned in, consoling the trembling Cao Yushu, ¡°Young Master, I¡¯ve heard from my friend, the butler at the Duan Family, that you have to pierce hard. The more agonizing the scream, the better the acupuncture! You¡¯ll have to bear with it.¡± Duan Feihan nced at Bai Chuwei, the girl still looked so innocent. This was how she taught Liu Zhen, to fiercely jab his father, and even now, he could recall the sound of his father¡¯s agonizing screams¡­ Upon hearing this, Cao Yushu¡¯s face turned deathly pale. He bit his lip and shakily asked, ¡°Bai ssmate, shall we begin now?¡± Bai Chuwei chose a two-inch-long silver needle, with a slight raise of her eyebrows, and spoke to Cao Yushu in a calm manner, ¡°We can start now, first, take off your pants.¡± A man¡¯s emotionless voice sounded in her ear, ¡°You¡¯re going to take off his pants?¡± Chapter 136: The Lost Famous Dish Chapter 136: Chapter 136: The Lost Famous Dish Bai Chuwei snorted indifferently, ¡°Is it just taking off pants? I¡¯ve seen it before.¡± In the era of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, even Shennong wearing a half-covered tiger skin skirt was within her sights, what¡¯s there to fuss about! Cao Yushu felt like crying, he dared not expose himself! He weakly asked, ¡°ssmate Bai, where should you stab?¡± ¡°The knee, the joints that connect,¡± she replied. Quickly getting up, Cao Yushu ran toward the changing room in his own room, ¡°I¡¯ll go change into a short sleeve and shorts.¡± Even if Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t mind, he minded a lot! Nearsightedness is a disease, while height is purely a matter of gics, so one prescription could make Qi Yue¡¯s nearsightedness better, but simply acupuncture and medication wouldn¡¯t make Cao Yushu grow 20cm. Bai Chuwei channeled her spiritual power continuously into her fingertips, manipting the silver needles with spiritual energy, and then applied the Spiritual Dao Thirteen Needles Technique. Those needles decisively plunged into the knee, the tips hitting the bones beneath the skin, like gentle water sliding over the bones, and then suddenly circting throughout the blood in the body. Cao Yushu¡¯s knees felt warm, and it wasn¡¯t very painful when the needle pierced through. She did the same with all the connecting bones in other parts of the body, all in less than five minutes. As Bai Chuwei stood up, her foot wobbled, and unbeknownst to her, she took a step backward, her back suddenly hitting up against a hard chest. It smelled wonderful, truly wonderful! Cao Yushu¡¯s mother was somewhat dumbfounded, ¡°Is¡­ is it done like this? Finished?¡± What does she mean by ¡°is it done like this¡±? She had mobilized her own spiritual energy to help Cao Yushu with the acupuncture, okay? The disappointment on Cao Jinhai¡¯s face was obvious, just a few stabs to grow taller, then the doors of acupuncture clinics would be trampled down, ¡°ssmate Bai, is it fast acting?¡± Although the couple had a good impression of Bai Chuwei, just casually stabbing a few needles and then taking away two hundred years¡¯ worth of wild ginseng that his family treasured, Cao Jinhai still found it a bit difficult to part with. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Those wild ginsengs would be amazing to use in medicinal cuisines. Hearing that, Bai Chuwei thought for a moment, ¡°It might take some time to see effects.¡± Even if she forcibly used spiritual power to change Cao Yushu¡¯s height genes, he could only grow 1cm overnight, and to grow 20cm, it would take twenty days, which for Bai Chuwei was already incredibly slow. Cao Jinhai and Zhao Simeng nced at each other as a couple, sharing a helpless smile. Right? The fastest growth in height still takes at least a year, right? They¡¯d be grateful for even 3cm a year. At this rate, they found it hard to even bring up keeping that old mountain ginseng. Cao Jinhai hesitated, he would surely prepare the meal Bai Chuwei requested, but gifting the wild ginseng, he thought to wait a year and see some results before giving it. Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t notice the couple¡¯s expressions and walked over to the desk in Cao Yushu¡¯s room, taking the signing pen to write a prescription, ¡°Drink the medicine ording to this, and make sure to get eight hours of sleep a day.¡± While Bai Chuwei was quickly writing the prescription, Duan Feihan observed the couple¡¯s hesitant expressions and suddenly signaled with his eyes. After the three left the room, Duan Feihan took the initiative to speak, ¡°Mr. Cao, would you be willing to sell your spiritual medicine to me? Name your price.¡± The fourth young master of the Duan Family wants to buy?! Cao Jinhai¡¯s mouth opened in surprise, just about to speak when Bai Chuwei¡¯s crisp voice,ced withughter, suddenly sprung up, ¡°Chef Cao, can you prepare that meal you promised me?¡± Cao Jinhai patted his chest, his tone proud, ¡°It¡¯s just a meal. Even if it¡¯s extremely precious, Uncle Cao can make it. Just tell me.¡± Cao Jinhai¡¯s meals were worth tens, even hundreds of thousands! This meal wouldn¡¯t be a loss. Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curved slightly, as she handed a menu to Cao Jinhai. Upon seeing it, the couple¡¯s faces suddenly changed, and Cao Jinhai blurted out, ¡°These dishes are all lost famous dishes!¡± Chapter 137 - 137 That’s Pig Feed for Me Chapter 137: Chapter 137 That¡¯s Pig Feed for Me ¡°Isn¡¯t this making it difficult for him?¡± Not a single dish listed here isn¡¯t a lost famous dish, and among them, there are thepletely obliterated court dishes of Xiyue Country. Moreover, there are also dishes that the Cao Family had lost for hundreds of years, dishes he had seen in the ancient books at home. Cao Jinhai¡¯s face turned ugly and he was somewhat embarrassed, ¡°This, Bai ssmate¡­ you are making it hard for uncle, aren¡¯t you?¡± Let alone him being a star chef not knowing how to make them, there are hardly a few chefs in the world who could! Bai Chuwei smiled slightly, ¡°I know you can¡¯t do it.¡± She knew he couldn¡¯t do it and still asked; was she seeking to frustrate people? n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Even Cao Jinhai felt somewhat annoyed inside. Bai Chuwei handed over a recipe with a smile, ¡°In twenty days, I hope you can make them all.¡± Cao Jinhai took the recipe in his hand and after a casual nce, his legs almost gave way, and he said in shock, ¡°A recipe? How do you have these recipes?¡± ¡°Dragon and Phoenix Tender Emotions, Carp Leaping Over Dragon Gate, Golden Silk Fish Bones, Pearl Snow Fungus¡­¡± Sweat was about to fall from Cao Jinhai¡¯s forehead. His eyes were as wide as brass bells, quickly flipping through the cookbook, with the detailed methods for each dish written inside. Lost for a hundred years, the recipes for famous dishes¡­ appeared? How could Bai Chuwei, a young girl, possess such recipes? Could it be that her family alsoes from a lineage of chefs? Oh no¡ªwhat¡¯s most freaking bizarre is, the ancestral dishes of the Cao Family that were lost, they¡¯re recorded here too? Where on earth did Bai Chuweie from? She couldn¡¯t possibly be an old ancestor of the Cao Family, could she? Cao Jinhai clutched the cookbook tightly in his hands, sitting on the sofa, engrossed and muttering to himself, ¡°So the Auspicious Brew I¡¯ve never been able to figure out requires the preparation of fermented ck beans first¡­¡± It was like a martial arts enthusiast finding a secretbat manual, like Columbus discovering a new continent, Cao Jinhai feltpletely ecstatic. ¡°So this is how Cao¡¯s Drunken Dream Crystal Balls are made, the ones I made before were missing an important step¡­¡± Genes, height, wild ginseng, none of that was worth mentioning in front of his culinary dream! ¡°Mr. Cao?¡± Bai Chuwei called out with meaningful intent. Cao Jinhai was still immersed in the cookbook, unaware even when his wife nudged him. In desperation, Zhao Simeng pushed Cao Jinhai to the ground, causing him to fall on his buttocks. Only then did Cao Jinhai suddenlye to his senses and stared nkly at Bai Chuwei. Suddenly, Cao Jinhai leapt up, scaring Zhao Simeng and Cao Yushu with a start. Cao Yushu was horrified, ¡°Dad¡­?¡± Clutching the cookbook to his chest, Cao Jinhai¡¯s legs moved as if they were equipped with wheels of wind and fire. He dashed towards the decorative ss cab on the first floor and shouted, ¡°Quick, take out all the Spiritual Medicine inside!¡± The butler was startled, ¡°Master, aren¡¯t some of these for making medicinal meals?¡± ¡°Pah, are medicinal meals as important as this cookbook? Are those things I made even considered medicinal meals?¡± Cao Jinhai eximed, red-faced and with a thick neck, ¡°The medicinal meals in this book are the real deal; what I made is pig feed!¡± Seeing the servants frightened and motionless, Cao Jinhai gathered all the treasured Spiritual Medicine from his home and piled them up in front of Bai Chuwei, rapidly forming a small mountain. ¡°Bai ssmate, oh no, Miss Bai, I¡¯ll give you all these Spiritual Medicines. Even if my son doesn¡¯t grow a single centimeter, even if he shrinks in height, I¡¯ll give them all to you! Can I have the cookbook, please?¡± Suddenly, Cao Jinhai felt utterly shameless for making such a request. His bronze face turned red with embarrassment, and after hesitating for a moment, he carefully ventured, ¡°How about this, Miss Bai, I sell all my family¡¯s properties and give you the money once I have it?¡± In an instant, Cao Jinhai thought, Bai Chuwei¡¯s visit to his house to give acupuncture for his son¡¯s growth was a ruse¡ªthis cookbook was her real purpose! Chapter 138 - 138 The Flower Hasn’t Bloomed Chapter 138: Chapter 138 The Flower Hasn¡¯t Bloomed Cao Yushu was dumbfounded: ¡°¡­¡± He btedly realized¡­ had he just been sold out by his own father? The idea of growing taller by getting acupuncture sounds too ethereal, but the recipe book was real! It was a tangible treasure right before his eyes. Bai Chuwei smiled slightly, ¡°I¡¯m not short of money.¡± Duan Feihan nced at her, then suddenly remembered the three billion he had spent. She indeed wasn¡¯t short of money, but she also didn¡¯t like spending her own money. ¡°I¡¯ll give you twenty days to learn all the dishes in here and help me prepare a tableful.¡± N?v(el)B\\jnn Cao Jinhai stared at the nearly hundred lost famous dishes listed and swallowed hard. He roughly estimated that the ingredients alone would cost at least nearly a million, but the value of this recipe book was far more than a million! Having this recipe book, he reckoned he could aim to be the top culinary master in China! Cao Jinhai immediately nodded and said, ¡°Deal! For these twenty days, even if I have to stay up all night, I must learn them!¡± Cao Jinhai patted his thigh and excitedly said to his wife, ¡°Honey, I¡¯ll be going to the restaurant for the next twenty days, put up a vacation sign for me! I need to study hard, really study hard¡­¡± The couple had been high school sweethearts, and Zhao Simeng thought Cao Jinhai had never been this serious even when he was preparing for the college entrance examination¡­ Bai Chuwei smiled with satisfaction and snapped her fingers in the air, ¡°That¡¯s great, I¡¯m ready to go home now. Oh right, Uncle Cao, could you please make some¡­ fried foods for me, I n to take them back.¡± Havinge all the way to a five-star chef¡¯s home and not taking something back would result in her home¡¯s chubby mouse facing her with its rear. Seeing the disapproving look from Duan Feihan, Bai Chuwei awkwardly added, ¡°It¡¯s not for me.¡± Duan Feihan frowned and said, ¡°I know, eat less fried food.¡± ? What do you know again? You don¡¯t know! Bai Chuwei expressionless: ¡°I said, I don¡¯t like fried food.¡± However, Cao Jinhai shouted, ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯m going to the kitchen now. Miss Bai, Fourth Master, please have a seat, sit down!¡± Cao Jinhai called out and, seeing the butler trying to help take the book, his bloodshot eyes instantly became vignt, and he shouted fiercely, ¡°What are you doing? No one can touch this recipe! No one is allowed to steal it!¡± The butler felt aggrieved; wasn¡¯t he just seeing Cao Jinhai¡¯s hands full and wanting to help? To prevent anyone from touching his treasure, Cao Jinhai simply stuffed the recipe book into the pocket of his apron! Bai Chuwei watched Cao Jinhai¡¯s cautious actions and couldn¡¯t help shaking her head. Would he faint if she told him she had even more recipes? Duan Feihan¡¯s slender fingers rested on his suit pants, seemingly casual as he asked, ¡°Why are you asking Mr. Cao to cook for you?¡± Bai Chuwei responded with a faint smile, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. Just that in a little over twenty days, it will be the anniversary of someone¡¯s death for many years, and I thought I¡¯d treat them to a table of good food as a tribute.¡± That guy had died too miserably, not having the chance to taste summer¡¯s peach nor his favorite dish before vanishing from this world. ¡°A man?¡± Bai Chuwei nodded nonchntly and suddenly moved a few steps towards Duan Feihan, grabbing his sleeve with bright eyes, ¡°Do you have a peach orchard in your manor?¡± Xingye had mentioned it, his Fourth Uncle¡¯s manor in Nancheng was filled with peach trees! She looked at him with eager eyes: ¡°Can I go there and pick a basketful of petals to make Peach Blossom Elixir?¡± Tomemorate a man, she was willing to offer up a rare recipe book lost for many years¡­ Duan Feihan¡¯s expression was impassive, ¡°The flowers haven¡¯t bloomed yet.¡± Chapter 139: If you won’t give it, I’ll insist on having it! Chapter 139: Chapter 139: If you won¡¯t give it, I¡¯ll insist on having it! Bai Chuwei: ¡°?¡± Do you think I¡¯m stupid? Peach blossoms have bloomed this season, especially those in Nancheng should be in full bloom. Bai Chuwei felt as if her intelligence was being ground against the floor by Duan Feihan. With one hand propping up her chin and without ncing elsewhere, Bai Chuwei let out a cold snort through her nostrils, ¡°Men, use and discard!¡± Look at the time when she tricked him out of three hundred million; he didn¡¯t even blink before swiping his card. Now, all she wanted was a basket of peach blossom petals, which wouldn¡¯t cost much, yet he still deceived her. If you won¡¯t give it to me, I¡¯ll want it even more! Each harboring their own thoughts, they waited as Cao Jinhai prepared lots of fried foods, which he specially packed in a wooden five-tiered carrier, each tier containing at least two kinds of fried delicacies. Bai Chuwei took it with a look of disgust, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m heading home.¡± Duan Feihan silently observed the look of distaste on her face, feeling puzzled. He couldn¡¯t understand why Bai Chuwei, who clearly liked it very much, would put on a disgusted expression. What did that mean? The Cao family personally saw Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan out the door, where the rain had already stopped. They went their separate ways home. The young girl seemed a bit angry; after getting off the car she didn¡¯t even turn her head back, leaving Duan Feihan with a view of her back as she entered the gate. ¡°Dad, is this necessary? Bai Chuwei is just an adopted daughter and we still have to treat her to a meal?¡± Liu Manined as soon as she entered the house. Bai Guofu fumed with a re, ¡°What adopted daughter? She¡¯s only listed under your names because I wanted to take care of you all. You all may think she looks young, but she¡¯s older than me, even older than my dad!¡± Bai Guofu didn¡¯t know exactly how many years Bai Chuwei had lived, but he remembered his father mentioning that he had seen Bai Chuwei when he was a young boy. That meant she had to be a venerable ancestor of at least one hundred and fifty years! Bai Hongguang and his wife rolled their eyes in disbelief. The old man had said this countless times; they really should consider taking the old man in for a check-up to see if he¡¯s suffering from senile dementia. ¡°Besides, it¡¯s not about treating her to a meal. It¡¯s your brother and his family who are very keen to meet the old ancestor. So we, as a family, are having a meal together for a formal introduction. Otherwise, Bai Ze and Bai Shang, the two boys from your elder brother¡¯s family, haven¡¯t even met the old ancestor yet!¡± Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t care much and went upstairs. Bai Ze and Bai Shang were the sons of Bai Guofu¡¯s eldest son, the hope of the Bai Family. A formal meal and introduction meant little to Bai Chuwei. N?v(el)B\\jnn She carried the food carrier upstairs and had barely set it down when a white, fur-covered hamster scurried over and darted into the box, squeaking excitedly, ¡®Old Ancestor is the best to me, shall we eat together?¡¯ Bai Chuwei twisted her neck andzily started walking outside, ¡°No need, you eat.¡± Bai Chuwei left the house and happened to encounter Aunt Chen, who was cleaning. She directly said, ¡°Give me a basket.¡± Upon seeing Bai Chuwei, Aunt Chen instinctively twisted her mouth, and her expression became even more bizarre hearing the request for a basket, ¡°A basket? Miss Chuwei, where are you nning to go?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curved slightly, ¡°I¡¯m going to Nancheng for a bit. I¡¯ll be back for dinner.¡± Aunt Chen swallowed hard, ¡°You¡­are walking there?¡± Bai Chuwei neither confirmed nor denied, leaving Aunt Chen looking at her as if she were insane. Walking to Nancheng, and she still expects to return for dinner? It¡¯s a two-hour drive from Haicheng to Nancheng! Aunt Chen: ¡°¡­Maybe read some more books.¡± Bai Chuwei went to the utility room for a basket and then left the Bai family estate. Half an hourter, Duan Feihan, who had changed into casual clothes, received a phone call. The call was from the butler of the Nancheng estate. The butler¡¯s voice shook with rm, ¡°Mr. Duan, it¡¯s not good, it seems we¡¯ve had a burry at our Nancheng estate!¡± Chapter 140 - 140 Mr. Duan, the other side is still provoking us! Chapter 140: Chapter 140 Mr. Duan, the other side is still provoking us! The manor in Nancheng¡­ burgled? Duan Feihan slightly furrowed his brows. Before he could even speak, the butler continued, ¡°No¡­ it¡¯s not exactly a burry, only our peach blossoms were stolen!!¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s expression shifted subtly. Only the peach blossoms were stolen? Who would steal such a thing? n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind. Could it be¡­ The butler looked up at the best-cared-for peach tree in the peach grove, as if¡­ it was bald? ¡°Mr. Duan, wait a moment, the other party is also provoking us!¡± came the butler¡¯s voice through the radio, growing stranger and stranger. Duan Feihan¡¯s voice became even heavier, ¡°What exactly is going on?¡± ¡°Mr. Duan, I will hang up the phone first and send you a photo to see,¡± said the butler. The butler hung up and quickly sent a photo to Duan Feihan¡¯s cell phone. Duan Feihan held his phone, his eyes dark as he looked at the photo; his peach tree¡­ was bald. What was most ring was the exquisite red rose hanging from one of the branches of the peach tree. Below the rose, there was also a red bill attached. It seemed to say, bought for a hundred yuan, so it¡¯s not stealing. Isn¡¯t this a provocation? Duan Feihan clicked into his own social circle. Just ten minutes ago, Bai Chuwei had posted a message and had specifically reminded him to look: ¡°A basket of peach blossoms can brew a good jar of Peach Blossom Elixir!¡± an expression of pride, apanied by a photo. A superrge basket filled with fresh peach blossom petals. Bai Chuwei¡¯s WeChat had added quite a few people, probably all of them brown-nosing toadies underneath. Because he saw Duan Xingyementing: [Love it, love it, even prettier than the peach blossoms in my Uncle¡¯s manor!] The phone rang again, and Duan Feihan¡¯s expression grewplicated. He answered the call and said in a deep voice, ¡°Butler, I will send an assistant overter. Take that rose and the bill.¡± Manor butler: ¡°¡­Okay.¡± Could it be that he wanted to bring back the evidence of provocation? After the butler ended the call, he strode angrily toward the manor¡¯s bodyguards: ¡°Look at you all, are you just eating for free? Someone sneaked into the manor, and you didn¡¯t notice? Didn¡¯t detect it at all?!¡± A bunch of bodyguards were on the verge of tears; they patrolled faithfully every day and hadn¡¯t seen any suspicious individuals approaching! * Bai Chuwei returned in less than half an hour, leaving Aunt Chen dumbstruck. Definitely not a trip to Nancheng, but rather a wild goose chase somewhere! After Bai Chuwei brought the basket of peach blossoms upstairs, she was called down to eat by the servants. Bai Chuwei picked up her chopsticks, looking interested, ¡°Is there something to celebrate? Why so happy?¡± Everyone at the dining table was startled. How did Bai Chuwei know? Bai Guofu put down his chopsticks, beaming, ¡°Indeed, just after our family elder left, we received a phone call.¡± Bai Yinyin proudly lifted her chin, ¡°Bai Chuwei, I don¡¯t mind telling you, just now Professor Zhao Guangming from the Calligraphy Department of Imperial Capital University called me.¡± ¡°He¡¯s invited me to meet tomorrow afternoon.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes flickered, and she smiled, ¡°Bai Yinyin, you never know, perhaps Zhao Guangming made a special trip from the Imperial Capital to Haicheng to see me?¡± Bai Chuwei recalled the reminder from Qi Mo not long ago. Bai Yinyin¡¯s face instantly fell, her tone bing unpleasant, ¡°Bai Chuwei, why do you always want to steal the credit? Why would Professor Zhao Guangminge for you? Have you¡­ have you ever won a calligraphy prize?!¡± Liu Man spoke up before Bai Guofu could, her eyes holding a hint of disdain as she looked at Bai Chuwei, her tone exceedingly proud, ¡°Yinyin has won second prize in the city calligraphypetition. She has been practicing calligraphy since she was eight! Why would Professor Zhao Guangming look for you instead of her?¡± Chapter 141 - 141 Grandpa, You Went Too Far Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Grandpa, You Went Too Far Her daughter had been educated in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since she was young. To think she would lose to a foster daughter? That was utterlyughable. Bai Chuwei chuckled and shook her head, ¡°Bai Yinyin, don¡¯t you find it curious that Professor Zhao Guangming, head of the Calligraphy Department at Imperial Capital University, would leave behind thousands of students to fly from the Imperial Capital to Haicheng just to find you? I doubt even the national grand prize winner in calligraphy would receive such treatment.¡± Bai Chuwei put down her chopsticks, her smile brimming as she looked at her: ¡°For a second-ce calligraphy prize winner in the whole city of Haicheng like you to prompt Zhao Guangming to take action? Then why wouldn¡¯t he go directly to the first-ce winner?¡± Bai Yinyin was at a loss for words, staring at Bai Chuwei in shock. Although she detested Bai Chuwei very, very much, she felt¡­ there seemed to be some sense in what she said. But¡­ over the phone, Professor Zhao Guangming had made it crystal clear that he was looking for Bai student! The only ones in the family besides her were Bai Chuwei. Bai Chuwei knew a bit of medical knowledge, didn¡¯t she? Studying medicine was really difficult, and Bai Chuwei, at eighteen, knew some medical arts¡ªhow could she have time to practice calligraphy as well? Impossible! Bai Yinyin always felt that Bai Chuwei was deliberately disturbing her peace of mind. She gritted her teeth and retorted, ¡°How do you know what Professor Zhao is thinking? Maybe he saw my effort, huh? I might not get that treatment, but do you?¡± Bai Yinyin immediately took out her phone, found a photo, and said with disgust, ¡°With your calligraphy like this, would Professor Zhao havee for you? Wake up!¡± The photo Bai Yinyin released was of a prescription written by Bai Chuwei, the handwriting looked like gibberish, both ugly and illegible. Bai Chuwei was speechless. Didn¡¯t she understand the doctors¡¯ shorthand? Let her be. When the time came and she lost face, she couldn¡¯t me her ancestors for not warning her. Seeing the situation, Bai Guofu knew something was amiss. Who was the ancestor? She would definitely not take what belonged to someone else. Since the ancestor herself said it was for her, it must be more likely than not! Bai Guofu immediately said to Bai Yinyin, ¡°Yinyin, give me Professor Zhao Guangming¡¯s phone number. He must have mistaken someone.¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s eyes turned red instantly, she stood up angrily, mmed the table and shouted at Bai Guofu, ¡°Grandpa, it was bad enough that you¡¯ve always favored Bai Chuwei, I could overlook that! But this time it¡¯s too much, it¡¯s clearly my opportunity, why should it go to this foster daughter? Even if you ask, grandfather, I won¡¯t agree!¡± Bai Yinyin was so angry she threw down her chopsticks. The chair screeched as she pushed it back and ran upstairs, crying. Bai Guofu watched in astonishment, heaving with anger: ¡°I¡¯m going to have a heart attack¡ªthis is the daughter you two raised? Acting like this? Shouting at her grandfather? I¡¯ve said it before, Bai Chuwei is the Bai family¡¯s ancestor, the foster daughter is just in name! Did it go in one ear and out the other for you?¡± The couple chuckled awkwardly, they wanted to believe it too. But who would believe that an eighteen-year-old girl was the family¡¯s ancestor? Liu Man curled her lip and said, ¡°Old Master, it¡¯s obviously Yinyin¡¯s opportunity, but you insist on giving it to some lower-ss foster daughter. If Yinyin didn¡¯t have a bit of a temper, she¡¯d probably have no ce in this family!¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Bai Hongguang was still eating, and couldn¡¯t help adding sarcastically, ¡°Dad, feudal dynasties are long gone, we don¡¯t have blind filial piety anymore.¡± Bai Guofu felt like fainting from the vexation caused by his second son¡¯s family. What a bunch of entrics; his eldest son¡¯s family was nothing like this. Bai Guofu looked at Bai Chuwei, who was unconcerned, and gasped for air, saying, ¡°Ancestor, tomorrow, yes, tomorrow at the Bai Family family gathering, you and Xiaofu, my eldest son¡¯s family, should formally meet.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s hand holding the chopsticks paused, her expression changing subtly. The Bai Family¡¯s main house¡­ Chapter 142: The Tragic Fate of the Bai Family Chapter 142: Chapter 142: The Tragic Fate of the Bai Family In the original story, Bai Chuwei and Bai Yinyin are both supporting female characters, but the original protagonist turned malevolent and made trouble for the male and female leads, while Bai Yinyin followed the female lead, Tong Qingyan. Unfortunately, the entire Bai Family¡¯s ending was not good. The Bai Family¡¯s eldest branch had two sons, one Bai Ze and one Bai Shang. Bai Shang excelled in business, but was instigated by Bai Yinyin to mix into the business world with Xu Xingchen. After all, it was Xu Xingchen¡¯s first time in business, how could he stand a chance against Duan Feihan, who had been fighting and scheming for years in the business world with his ruthless tactics? So, in less than a week, the Bai Family went bankrupt, and Bai Guofu died of anger. After the downfall of the Bai Family, the elder cousin Bai Ze began working as a bodyguard for Tong Qingyan to make a living. Xu Xingchen suspected that Bai Ze harbored an unrequited love for Tong Qingyan, and when Bai Ze got injured while protecting the female lead, Xu Xingchen left him for dead, resulting in Bai Ze dying from his injuries. Tragic! The Bai Family¡¯s situation was really tragic! Those who mixed with the male and female leads had no good ending.N?v(el)B\\jnn She was, after all, the Bai Family¡¯s ancient ancestor, and by reason, she should have protected the descendants of the Bai Family. You know, in the original text, after the original protagonist was sold off, it was Bai Shang, the second cousin, who paid for the information, and it was Bai Ze who personally went to Heicheng to rescue her. Yet neither of these two had a good oue. Bai Chuwei sighed in her heart, hastily ate a few bites of dinner for appearances, then put down her chopsticks and returned to her room. Even though she was fasting, she couldn¡¯t always skip meals, she would scare the Bai Family to death. As soon as she returned to her room, she saw a plump white-furred hamster lying on the topyer of an empty wooden food box, its belly slightly bulging as it looked up at the ceiling and mumbled to itself, ¡°So nice, really nice!¡± Bai Chuwei poked Xue Qiu¡¯s chubby belly with her finger and spoke with contempt, ¡°Yo, how many months pregnant is that belly of yours? Is it about to give birth?¡± That was a five-tier food box, after all. How long had it been? It had eaten all the fried snacks inside. Bai Chuwei seriously doubted it was a hamster, rather than a pig! Xue Qiu suddenly sat up with a rustle, squeaking in defense: ¡®I¡¯m just puffily fat, puffily fat, puffily fat! Important things must be said three times!¡¯ Huh. Bai Chuwei mockingly, andzily said, ¡°Take out my spatial bracelet for me, I¡¯m going to pick a few gifts from inside it.¡± Upon hearing this, Xue Qiu immediately burrowed into a pile of misceneous items and found a white jade bracelet covered in dust. Having lived for five thousand years, Bai Chuwei had plenty of magic artifacts in hand. What others considered ancestral treasures, the spatial bracelets, were no different from the bracelets sold for two yuan at roadside stalls to her. She could effortlessly create hundreds of them. During these five thousand years, she had thrown some collected trinkets into the spatial bracelet, and a small portion were kept in herrge garden vi in China. She went into the space to pick a few gifts, which she intended to give as a courtesy when she met the main branch of the Bai family tomorrow. Bai Chuwei, ording to their personalities, selected several gifts before she came out feeling satisfied. Uponing out, she saw Xue Qiu lying on the desk, leisurely watching the night sky through the window. Yo, still enjoying the moon, I see. Life must be really good. Bai Chuwei with disdain, said, ¡°Tell me, you¡¯ve been granted sentience by me for twenty years now, when exactly are you going to transform?¡± Xue Qiu shook its head: ¡®What¡¯s the point of transforming into a human? Too many rules and bothers. ¡® ¡®Ancestor, if I transform, there¡¯ll be no one to keep youpany.¡¯ Xue Qiu was moved by its own words, looking at how dutiful it was to the ancestor and thenparing itself to the fox that had transformed and disappeared for so many years, it really was the perfect pet hamster! Bai Chuwei¡¯s face darkened, ¡°If you transform, I¡¯ll just grace a few more with sentience to apany me¡ªoh no, I¡¯m really busy now. I still have to make Duan Feihan my newest underling!¡± Duan Feihan, who was justing out of a shower, sneezed violently, ¡°?¡± Chapter 143 - 143 Are you dating Bai Chuwei? Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Are you dating Bai Chuwei? Duan Feihan left the bedroom and asked the approaching butler, ¡°Where are they?¡± The butler smiled and said, ¡°The old master¡¯s old friend, Professor Zhao from Imperial Capital, came over, and the two are chatting. Young Master Xingye is writing test papers in his room.¡± Duan Feihan knew his father had an old friend in Imperial Capital who was a professor and, after thinking for a while, walked toward the old master¡¯s courtyard. The old master sat on the bench in his courtyard andughed, ¡°Guangming, I didn¡¯t expect you toe to Haicheng at this time.¡± Zhao Guangming looked at his friend, Old Duan, healthy and vigorous, and couldn¡¯t help but feel a series of emotions, ¡°Indeed.¡± Zhao Guangming had been prepared for a final farewell visit to the old master in Haicheng, only to find that Old Duan had miraculously recovered from his cancer and was now lively and moving around. With that, he could also focus on the matter of the Spiritual White Script. Some time ago, Zhao Guangming identally discovered a Chinese test paper online, mosaicked and showing only a surname ¡°Bai¡±, written in the Spiritual White Script that had disappeared for hundreds of years and was only mentioned in ¡°History of Calligraphy¡±. He sent a private message to the original poster, who not only ignored him but swiftly deleted that microblog post. However, their investigation revealed that the test paper belonged to a Chinese teacher at Haicheng Henghua High School, so he applied to Imperial Capital University and went personally to Haicheng to find that student with the surname Bai. The day he arrived in Haicheng, a torrential rain poured down, and a female student gave him an umbre. However, today Henghua High School¡¯s senior teachers were all very anxious; it was said that a student had been struck by lightning, and they were busy visiting the hospital. The surname ¡°Bai¡± actually wasn¡¯t verymon among Henghua High School¡¯s seniors, only in sses nine and eleven were there two female students with that surname. Zhao Guangming certainly remembered the incorrect answers on that Chinese test paper and guessed that this student¡¯s grades were probably not very good. Hearing about Henghua High School, ss nine was known for its top students, so he figured the Bai student was probably from ss eleven. After obtaining the contact information, Zhao Guangming quickly got in touch with Bai Yinyin. Everything was going quite smoothly; after meeting her tomorrow, they could talk in detail. Now Professor Zhao¡¯s heart was itching with countless questions. The two old friends were cheerfully chatting when a tall, ck figure approached from a distance and greeted them proactively, ¡°Father, Uncle Zhao, hello.¡± Upon seeing Duan Feihan, Zhao Guangming suddenly remembered something and smiled patting Old Duan¡¯s shoulder, ¡°I was just saying whether I would be able to attend your youngest son¡¯s wedding, but now it seems unlikely.¡± Old Master Duan red at Duan Feihan; what could he do if this kid wouldn¡¯t find a partner? Then Professor Zhao continued tough, ¡°This partner is still in high school, I think marriage is still a long way off.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s expression changed slightly. Old Master Duan suddenly thought of that graceful figure, a face simr to that of a girl from twenty years ago, and his heart began to pound, ¡°What, what do you mean?¡± Zhao Guangming was somewhat surprised, ¡°Today, when I went to Henghua High School, it was raining heavily. I happened to see your youngest picking up a female student after school. I didn¡¯t recognize Xiao Han right away.¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Zhao Guangming knew he wouldn¡¯t have much time to stay in Haicheng this trip, so he stood up and handed a transparent umbre to Duan Feihan, saying with satisfaction, ¡°That¡¯s a polite girl. You can return this umbre for me.¡± Duan Feihan responded and took the umbre. Turning around, he saw Old Master Duan with his cheeks flushed with anger, his hand trembling as he pointed at Duan Feihan, ¡°Duan Feihan, what exactly are you up to? Are you dating that Bai Chuwei?¡± Duan Feihan: ¡°¡­Not yet, just not disturbing the student¡¯s college entrance exam.¡± Chapter 144: Young Master, did you secretly stand on tiptoe? Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Young Master, did you secretly stand on tiptoe? The old master Duan was so angry that blood rushed madly to the top of his head! That Bai Chuwei imed Bai Chu was her aunt, but who looks exactly like their aunt? But¡­ this exnation also made sense, otherwise who could have the same appearance for twenty years without any aging? They could only be convinced that Bai Chuwei was Bai Chu¡¯s niece. Yet this always made the old master Duan feel that something was slightly off. But if Bai Chuwei was indeed Bai Chu¡¯s niece, wouldn¡¯t their family hierarchy be thrown into chaos? His third brother once fancied Bai Chu, their aunt, and now he, as the younger brother, fancied the niece? Too chaotic! Duan Feihan spoke indifferently, ¡°Father, the third brother is about to get married to Miss Tong.¡± Professor Zhao noticed something was amiss and took the initiative to change the subject with a smile, ¡°Old Duan, your third son is preparing for his wedding, your second daughter is abroad, why haven¡¯t we seen your eldest son?¡± Speaking of his eldest son, the old master Duan¡¯s face grew uglier. ¡°Duan Xiuhao went to see his son.¡± Zhao Guangming waspletely confused, ¡°His son? Xingye just greeted me a moment ago.¡± Duan Feihan picked up the transparent umbre, walked outside, and dropped a remark, ¡°Illegitimate child.¡± Zhao Guangming: ¡°¡­¡± Your Duan family is reallyplicated¡­ Haicheng City People¡¯s Hospital Duan Xiuhao¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he sent away the teachers from Henghua First Middle School who came to visit. Duan Xiuhao carefully pushed open the door and entered, instantly seeing Xu Xingchen lying on the hospital bed. Xu Xingcheny on the bed like a dead fish, a small part of his smooth ck hair burnt by lightning, some strands curled up, and arge burn mark from lightning on his neck. The hand that was receiving IV drips, looking red, was outside the covers, staring straight at the ceiling. He had been struck by lightning. Xu Xingchen¡¯s mind was filled with the question of why he had been so unluckily struck by lightning. Hearing footsteps, Xu Xingchen turned his head to look at Duan Xiuhao and his voice suddenly trembled, ¡°Dad.¡± That ¡°Dad¡± was full of infinite grievance, hitting Duan Xiuhao hard in the heart. This was his son, his proudest son! Xu Xingchen murmured, ¡°Dad, I¡¯ve lost everything. Mom is going to prison, my grandfather and my third and fourth uncles don¡¯t recognize me, and I have to lie here in the hospital.¡± Xu Xingchen tugged at the corners of his dry mouth, mocking himself, ¡°Dad, I have no home.¡± The five words ¡°I have no home¡± hit Duan Xiuhao¡¯s heart in an instant! The more Duan Xiuhao listened, the more heartbroken he felt. They were both his sons, so why did Duan Xingye get to live in luxury from birth, while Xingchen had to sneak around with Xu Li, living like a rat in a gutter? Duan Xiuhao took Xu Xingchen¡¯s hand, his gaze resolute, his voice filled with emotion as he promised, ¡°Xingchen, don¡¯t worry, even if your grandfather doesn¡¯t agree, Dad will take you back to the Duan family!¡± He wanted to give this son a home. * The sky wasn¡¯t even bright yet when Cao Yushu was awoken by wafts of irresistible aroma that had his stomach turning in hunger by 5:30 AM. He figured his dad was in the kitchen practicing cooking. Cao Yushu always considered himself to have grown up on fine foods, but he had never smelled anything so delicious. The butler knocked and entered, ¡°Young Master, I saw the light on in your room. Are you also hungry?¡± Cao Yushu¡¯s cheeks flushed slightly as he smiled and nodded, quickly getting out of bed to wash up and get ready to go down for breakfast with the butler. Just as he passed the height chart in the bedroom, Cao Yushu stared at it for a while and, as if possessed by a ghost, walked over to it: ¡°Butler, help me check how tall I am now.¡± Who in the entire Cao family didn¡¯t know Cao Yushu was 165 cm tall? The butler looked at the horizontal line on the height chart, pushed his reading sses up, and his eyes suddenly turned strange, ¡°Young Master, did you secretly stand on your tiptoes?¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chapter 145: My Foster Parents, My Real Dad! Chapter 145: Chapter 145: My Foster Parents, My Real Dad! Cao Yushu: ¡°???¡± Did he really need to sneakily stand on tiptoe to measure his height in front of his own family? ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± The butler¡¯s eyes grew even more surprised, ¡°That¡¯s strange, it looks like 166cm now.¡± Even with growth hormones, could anyone grow 1cm overnight? That 1cm might not be noticeable in a day or two, but if this continues day after day, it would make a difference. Cao Yushu stood there, dazed, and suddenly grabbed the butler, shouting, ¡°Butler, quickly take a photo for me, I want to witness it with my own eyes!¡± Tears were about to fall from Cao Yushu¡¯s eyes; nobody could understand the value of that 1cm! He had been called short for over a decade and suddenly saw a glimmer of hope on the horizon. What was this? It was like the presence of a real father. Snatching his phone from the butler, Cao Yushu looked at the photo and cried andughed at the same time, his demeanor near madness as he muttered to himself, ¡°I¡¯ve grown taller¡­I really have grown taller!¡± Bai Chuwei hadn¡¯t lied¡ªthose injections fromst night had actually worked. Suddenly, Cao Yushu pped himself hard across the face with a ¡°smack.¡± The butler jumped, startled, ¡°Young Master? Are you not awake, or have you gone mad?¡± Cao Yushu¡¯s cheek swelled slightly as he cried out, ¡°That p was well-deserved, I was wrong to suspect yesterday that ssmate Bai only wanted to visit my father!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The recipes she brought were genuine, and so were the injections to increase his height! With a ¡°whoosh,¡± Cao Yushu rushed downstairs, smartphone in hand. As he got closer to the kitchen, the aromatic scent became even more intense, so tantalizing that everyone present wished they could swallow their own tongues. Delicious! Truly delicious! Seeing his son, who was both crying andughing, Cao Jinhai in his chef¡¯s attire also had his eyes redden, ¡°All these years I¡¯ve worked as a chef, my star chef title has been in vain! Miss Bai is like my reborn parents, my own father!¡± Cao Yushu choked up, countering, ¡°Dad, you¡¯re wrong, ssmate Bai is my reborn parent! I¡¯ve grown 1cm taller.¡± Father and son locked eyes for a moment and then suddenly started crying together in front of everyone in the house. The servants: ¡°¡­¡± The butler sighed, ¡°Both father and son want to acknowledge other parents; does this not mess up the familial hierarchy?¡± * The ssroom of ss Nine was a mess before morning self-study. Some students were dashing through the aisles to hand inst night¡¯s homework to their group leader, some were sitting at their seats reciting words and reading books, while others were whispering about thetest gossip. There had been so much gossip at Henghua First Middle School these past couple of days, from Xu Xingchen swearing at Duan Xingye yesterday only to be struck by lightning as soon as he turned his head, to the news in Eleventh ss that Bai Yinyin was going to meet with Professor Zhao Guangming from the Calligraphy Department of Imperial Capital University in the afternoon, a subject of envy. ¡°Thud¡ªThud¡ªThud.¡± A series of knocks sounded, and all the students of ss Nine looked towards the door. Cao Yushu, who was rather shy by nature, blushed under their gaze. He looked towards Bai Chuwei at the back of the ssroom, who was propping up her chin, amusingly feeding the birds with sunflower seeds and seeming somewhat out of ce among the other students, exuding a sense of mystery. Cao Yushu felt he had no right to call Bai Chuwei out for him, but he steeled himself and walked in. Approaching Bai Chuwei¡¯s seat, Cao Yushu took out a letter, his face and ears red as he looked at her, his eyes brimming with an unspoken multitude of words. This situation¡­ everyone in ss Nine watched with eager anticipation. Sitting nearby, Duan Xingye who was memorizing vocabry, instantly looked up, his gaze fixated on Cao Yushu. Cao Yushu faced Bai Chuwei, his face flushed red, his voice trembling, ¡°ssmate Bai, I¡­I¡­I¡¯m really¡­¡± Duan Xingye pulled out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Duan Feihan. [Xingye: Uncle Si, a male ssmate is about to publicly confess his love for Weiwei with a love letter.] Chapter 146 - 146 You Can Report to Your Teacher Chapter 146: Chapter 146 You Can Report to Your Teacher Duan Xingye felt that his uncle would be better off liking Weiwei than liking a married auntie. Isn¡¯t it said that Weiwei and her aunt look very alike? Sitting in the car on the way to thepany, Duan Feihan received this WeChat message and nced at it before replying: [Duan Feihan: You can report it to your teacher.] Duan Xingye: ¡°¡­??¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn That¡¯s his reaction? Report to a teacher? Duan Xingye sighed inwardly, Uncle, oh Uncle, how can the generation gap between us be so obvious? Nowadays, high schools don¡¯t just call parents to break things up when they encounter such matters, they turn a blind eye as long as the students¡¯ grades are good. What¡¯s the use of reporting to the teacher? And this nd sentence made Duan Xingye feel that his uncle didn¡¯t care at all. Duan Xingye sighed, it seems like his uncle is still hung up on Miss Sister from twenty years ago, who is now married. Cao Yushu stuttered for a long time without being able to say a word, causing the onlooking students around to burst intoughter. ¡°Holy shit, is that coward Cao Yushu here to deliver a love letter? Has he grown such a big spine?¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you, Cao Yushu is something else, there aren¡¯t many in the whole grade who dare give Bai Chuwei a love letter, right?¡± Perhaps Bai Chuwei is just too mysterious, always elusive, so there really aren¡¯t many who dare to actually give Bai Chuwei a love letter. Seeing Cao Yushu struggling to articte his reasons, Bai Chuwei smiled and actively took the envelope from him, unfolding it to find a card inside, but not a bank card. Cao Yushu exined softly, ¡°This is from my dad, for me to pass on to you.¡± Cao Family operates catering, with restaurants all over the country, and this card is honored at all these restaurants, allowing Bai Chuwei to order whatever she likes at no cost. Bai Chuwei guessed it was Cao Yushu who measured his height early in the morning, as this card, in anyone¡¯s hands, was quite valuable; after all, a meal at a star-rated restaurant could be worth millions. It¡¯s just too bad she¡¯s been fasting for years, indifferent to eating or not, but it could still be of use to Xue Qiu. After seeing Bai Chuwei epting the card, Cao Yushu left the ninth-grade ssroom, contented. Soon, the news that Bai Chuwei had epted Cao Yushu¡¯s love letter spread throughout Henghua First Middle School. Duan Xingye cursed, ¡°So what if she epted it? It¡¯s not like she agreed to anything! Shouldn¡¯t they focus on their studies?¡± When Cao Yushu returned to his ssroom, a short girl at the desk in front of him sneered, ¡°You, a shorty, dared to give Bai Chuwei a love letter?¡± Cao Yushu¡¯s face darkened as he coldly replied, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m short, but sorry, I can still grow taller. Unfortunately for you, you can¡¯t.¡± The girl, red-faced with anger, said, ¡°You¡¯ve got some nerve¡ª¡± Cao Yushu was in a good mood and started to read his book, dropping another remark: ¡°Also, Ms. Bai asked me to pass on a message to you people: If anyone dares to verbally abuse her again, she will refuse to ept your appointment for a consultation¡ªpermanently.¡± The girls who wanted to shout abuses choked on their words, unable to swallow or spit them out. They were all nearsighted and had made appointments with Qi Yue, which were now pushed to next month. The usually shy Cao Yushu had suddenly be assertive; was it because Cao Yushu¡¯s confession seeded and he was emboldened by Bai Chuwei¡¯s support? Bai Chuwei scoffed at the thought, who would be silly enough to believe such nonsense? Even Duan Xingye didn¡¯t believe it, okay? Just after early morning self-study, Bai Chuwei was pulled by Duan Xingye and Su Ruan to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. As soon as they stepped out of the ssroom, she noticed she had received a WeChat message. [Duan Feihan: Study hard.] Bai Chuwei: ¡°¡­?¡± He believes? Chapter 147: Forgive His Bluntness Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Forgive His Bluntness Bai Chuwei was considering whether to reply to Duan Feihan that he was overthinking when a girl walked by and said in a tone that was neither cold nor warm, ¡°You may not have learned much else at school, but you sure learned how to hook up with men.¡± Bai Yinyin had clearly also heard about the rumor that Cao Yushu had ¡°sent a love letter¡± to Bai Chuwei. With Duan Xingye as her deskmate and knowing Lord Duan, Bai Chuwei definitely wouldn¡¯t be interested in Cao Yushu. So, what was Bai Chuwei¡¯s purpose in doing this? ording to her past experience, Bai Chuwei was just trying to lead Cao Yushu on, to suck his wallet dry, then kick him to the curb. Duan Xingye and Su Ruan were directly red with anger¡ªthey had already found out that Cao Yushu had sought medical advice from Bai Chuwei! Bai Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint flickering in them: ¡°Bai Yinyin, by the sound of it, you seem to have plenty of experience in hooking up with men.¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s smiling face stiffened, and she red fiercely at Bai Chuwei. Duan Xingye, knowing that Bai Yinyin was usually not nice to Bai Chuwei, sneered, ¡°Instead of studying properly at school, you¡¯re all dolled up.¡± Suddenly, Bai Yinyin covered her mouth and snickered, giving Bai Chuwei a meaningful look: ¡°She doesn¡¯t even have the chance to dress up if she wanted to.¡± Immediately, the gossip started around them, with envious nces: ¡°Bai Yinyin is going to meet with Professor Zhao Guangming from the Calligraphy Department at Imperial Capital University this afternoon, right? It makes sense to dress up a bit.¡± ¡°If she could get on Professor Zhao¡¯s good side, who knows if she¡¯ll even have a chance to get into Imperial Capital University in the future?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Imperial Capital University is one of the top colleges in China, and although many people aren¡¯t fond of the Calligraphy Department, that doesn¡¯t mean they can¡¯t change majors after getting into Imperial Capital University. What are they taking the college entrance exam for? Isn¡¯t it just to get into a university? With top-tier prestigious universities in China, why spend money to go abroad for a gilt edge? Bai Chuwei looked at Bai Yinyin with a mocking smile and said lightly, ¡°I reminded you, Zhao Guangming is probably not looking for you.¡± Don¡¯t go, you¡¯re only going to embarrass yourself. Bai Yinyin red fiercely at Bai Chuwei. Just because Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t have the ability to meet Professor Zhao, she thought she could mess with her mind? Fat chance!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om At four in the afternoon, under the envious gazes of her ssmates, Bai Yinyin left the ssroom with her chin up and a small backpack slung over her shoulder. Bai Yinyin would have loved to take the whole day off to interact with Professor Zhao, but Zhao Guangming, worried about disrupting the student¡¯s studies, scheduled the meeting ratherte. Upon reaching the appointed ce, Bai Yinyin saw an elegantly dressed elder sipping tea. Suppressing her excitement, Bai Yinyin approached and greeted him proactively, ¡°Professor Zhao, hello, I¡¯m Bai Yinyin.¡± Zhao Guangming was also very excited and asked Bai Yinyin kindly, ¡°Miss Bai, I hope I didn¡¯t disturb you by asking you toe out here today?¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s head shook like a rattle. A disturbance? They just had a family dinner at the Bai Family¡¯s ce tonight, where Bai Chuwei would be formally introduced to her eldest uncle¡¯s family. She had argued with her grandfather yesterday, and even if she missed Bai Chuwei¡¯s wee party today, it wouldn¡¯t affect her. Bai Yinyin opened her backpack and took out all the calligraphy awards she had won over the years, then started to enthusiastically exin her understanding of calligraphy. The more Zhao Guangming listened, the more he found it odd, his eyebrows gradually frowning into a ¡°´¨¡± shape. It wasn¡¯t that Bai Yinyin¡¯s exnation was bad, it¡¯s just that¡­ in front of this veteran Professor of the Calligraphy Department, her insights were too superficial. After Bai Yinyin finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Guangming with anticipation, ¡°Professor Zhao, what do you think about what I said?¡± Zhao Guangming believed in the saying ¡°character reflects in one¡¯s handwriting.¡± On the exam paper, the free-spirited Spiritual White Script handwriting had led the professor to expect a girl of ethereal charm and otherworldly bearing. He meant no offense, but Bai Yinyin¡¯s demeanor did not seem like that of a student who could produce the Spiritual White Script. Chapter 148 - 148 He Really Found the Wrong Person! Chapter 148: Chapter 148 He Really Found the Wrong Person! Suddenly, Zhao Guangming¡¯s mind was invaded by an image. A young girl, dressed in the same id skirt uniform as the other students, stood under a transparent umbre in the drizzling rain, like a nymph in the downpour. If I really had to say, Zhao Guangming would rather believe that the girl who gave him an umbre earlier was the one who wrote in that Spiritual White Script. However, Zhao Guangming was well aware that appearances can be deceiving, so he watched Bai Yinyin with a cheerful demeanor. ¡°Not bad at all, I wonder what does Bai student think about Spiritual White Script?¡± Spiritual White Script? Bai Yinyin had studied calligraphy from a young age, so of course, she knew the legendary script in the history of calligraphy. She said excitedly, ¡°I know, I know! Spiritual White Script is the royal script of Hanyua Country, and it is even regarded by themon folk as the script of Immortals, revered and studied by many. But with the fall of Hanyua Country and the generals who stormed the Imperial Pce burning the library to the ground, the script gradually disappeared.¡± ¡°However, there are rumors that the manuscript of ¡®Records of the Mountain Moon,¡¯ the number one ssical masterpiece from two hundred years ago, was written in Spiritual White Script, but then the manuscript also vanished.¡± The only two surviving pieces of poetry written in Spiritual White Script are now treasured in the national museum. The more Zhao Guangming listened, the colder his heart became. This wasmon knowledge among students! With such talk, how could she possibly write in Spiritual White Script? Zhao Guangming doubted whether he had approached the wrong person, and just at that moment, Bai Yinyin¡¯s phone rang. Bai Yinyin saw the caller was Bai Guofu and her face turned cold as she immediately hung up. Zhao Guangming was almost certain he had found the wrong person, so there was no need to continue the conversation with Bai Yinyin. Seeing her hang up the phone, Zhao Guangming said, ¡°Does Bai student have other matters to attend to? Perhaps we should stop here for today.¡± Bai Yinyin smiled indifferently and said nonchntly, ¡°It¡¯s no problem, Professor Zhao, it¡¯s just a wee party for my family¡¯s foster daughter.¡± The Bai family¡¯s foster daughter? ¡°She also studies at Henghua First Middle School?¡± Zhao Guangming¡¯s body trembled slightly with excitement. N?v(el)B\\jnn Bai Yinyin cursed inwardly for her slip-up. Why had she mentioned Bai Chuwei? Of course, she couldn¡¯t let Bai Chuwei gain favor in front of Professor Zhao, so she deliberately said, ¡°Yes, my grandfather pulled some strings to get her into the best ss nine, yet she¡¯s performing terribly, especially in Chinese, her answers on the test were aplete mess.¡± Zhao Guangming¡¯s aged face looked exceedinglyplex; he had indeed found the wrong person! A thought suddenly surfaced in Bai Yinyin¡¯s heart, and she tentatively asked, ¡°Professor Zhao, it¡¯s gettingte, why don¡¯t I treat you to dinner? My family also loves calligraphy very much!¡± Bai Yinyin watched Zhao Guangming hesitate for a moment before nodding, and a surge of tion filled her heart. A trace of triumph shed in the depth of her eyes. Wasn¡¯t the wee party specifically for Bai Chuwei? A foster daughter without the self-awareness of one! If she brought Professor Zhao there, Bai Chuwei was bound to be embarrassed, serving only as a backdrop to her! The more Bai Yinyin thought about it, the more excited she became, and she began to sing Hallelujah in her heart. * Today¡¯s Bai family gathering was being held at Juxian Pavilion, a five-star restaurant in Haicheng, chosen by Bai Shang. Bai Chuwei arrived at Juxian Pavilion in the Bai family¡¯s private car and through the window saw a dense crowd outside chanting the name Duan Xiuqi. Bai Chuwei frowned, not expecting to run into Duan Xiuqi while merely attending a dinner gathering. The driver looked apprehensively at the crowd outside and whispered, ¡°Duan Xiuqi has a lot of crazy fans as well as haters. Miss Chuwei, let¡¯s take a different way in.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes lit up, and suddenly she shed a slightly wicked smile. She rolled down the window and with a beckoning gesture of her delicate finger, summoned someone from outside. A shifty-looking man wearing a hat unconsciously walked over, shocked that his legs were moving against his will. Bai Chuwei spoke in a crisp voice, ¡°You, you¡¯re one of Duan Xiuqi¡¯s haters, aren¡¯t you?¡± Chapter 149: The Country Girl Can’t Send Out Anything Good Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The Country Girl Can¡¯t Send Out Anything Good Bai Chuwei nced around the restaurant and, with certainty in her voice, said, ¡°Duan Xiuqi is in private room 209. If you catch anything juicy, I¡¯ll pay you extra.¡± The old ancestor had no particr interests or hobbies, except for taking pleasure in seeing Duan Xiuqi¡¯s misfortune¡ªif that reporter Heizi caught something, that would be really entertaining! Bai Chuwei left by car, with the man watching in astonishment. The man was inwardly fretting, how could she leave without giving a contact? How would he get the additional money if he couldn¡¯t find her? The private room they¡¯d reserved was on the second floor. Bai Chuwei pushed the door open and went in; several people were sitting in the room: Bai Hongmin and his wife, Bai Hongguang and his wife, and sitting beside Bai Guofu were two handsome young men. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om The eldest cousin Bai Ze had a bronze tan, was fit, with well-defined muscles, and a sunny smile. The second cousin Bai Shang¡¯s skin was even whiter than that of an average girl, his figure was lean, and his phoenix-shaped, upturned eyes gave him a shrewd look. He also sported a small mustache, resembling a Min Country era merchant. ¡°This must be Chuwei, right? Come over here and sit!¡± Bai Guofu¡¯s eldest son, Bai Hongmin, said with a smile. Bai Hongmin¡¯s wife, Yang Shuhui, scrutinized Bai Chuwei with satisfaction. They¡¯d always wanted a daughter but unfortunately had two sons instead. Bai Chuwei quite fit their preference; it was just a pity that the old master had registered Bai Chuwei under the name of Bai Hongguang and his wife. Since it was their first meeting, as her elder uncle, they certainly had to give her a gift. Bai Hongmin gave Bai Chuwei a watch, while Yang Shuhui picked out thetest style of a long dress for her. Elder cousin Bai Ze scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly to the beautiful Bai Chuwei, ¡°I¡¯ve always been up in the mountains practicing martial arts and don¡¯t know what girls like. I heard you and Yinyin are both high school seniors, so I¡¯ll give you a set of exam papers.¡± Bai Chuwei looked at the huge stack he brought over, including Huanggang Secret Volumes, Golden Exam Papers, and Tianli 38 Sets, which were as tall as the table! The smile on Bai Chuwei¡¯s face disappeared visibly and quickly, ¡°¡­¡± The old ancestor didn¡¯t like studying! She wanted to kill Bai Ze! Bai Shangughed out loud, his little mustache trembling, ¡°Big brother, who gives exam papers as a gift? You¡¯re going to make her furious!¡± Bai Shang smugly took out a little box and pushed it in front of Bai Chuwei, ¡°This Cuiyu Porcin Vase is for you. It¡¯s a thousand-year-old antique; I spent quite a sum to get my hands on it.¡± Bai Shang was a businessman, his greatest hobby was making money, and his pastime was collecting antiques. Bai Chuwei picked up the Cuiyu Porcin Vase, which was only the size of a palm, pure white with a touch of jade green, and looked extremely exquisite. Bai Chuwei¡¯s mouth twitched; her second cousin had bought a fake reproduction¡­ Bai Chuwei did not expose him; she didn¡¯t want to embarrass Bai Shang in front of everyone. Bai Guofu was very pleased with the first household¡¯s attitude. He nced over at Bai Hongguang and his wife, Liu Man. Bai Hongguang looked restless, kicking Liu Man¡¯s foot under the table. It seemed they hadn¡¯t prepared a gift for their foster daughter, Bai Chuwei¡­ Just as the couple was considering whether topensate by giving a red envelope to save face, Bai Chuwei opened her backpack, and said cheerily, ¡°Thank you, uncle, aunt, and my two cousins. I¡¯ve also prepared gifts for you all.¡± Bai Chuwei took out two small bottles and pushed them towards Bai Hongmin and Yang Shuhui, then handed a booklet to Bai Ze. Bai Shang received a scroll. They seemed like nothing particrly valuable,ing from a girl from the countryside, of course, she couldn¡¯t offer anything too extravagant. Yet, Bai Hongguang and Liu Man¡¯s faces were a mix of green and white. What was Bai Chuwei implying? She gave a gift to each member of the main household, but not to them? They were supposed to be her foster parents, in name! Liu Man wished she could p Bai Chuwei. Was this her way of deliberately embarrassing them? Chapter 150 - 150 The Ancestor Doesn’t Want to Give Face Chapter 150: Chapter 150 The Ancestor Doesn¡¯t Want to Give Face Liu Man felt indignant and asked with a yful tone, teasingly, ¡°Weiwei, why did you prepare a gift for your eldest uncle¡¯s family and not for us?¡± Bai Chuwei replied calmly and indifferently, ¡°Because I don¡¯t want to.¡± She thought those little trinkets were better off gathering dust in storage than being given to these scum. Upon hearing this, Bai Hongguang and Liu Man nearly choked on their fury, staring at Bai Chuwei agape. They had never expected Bai Chuwei to speak so bluntly, with no regard for their feelings! What was key was that Bai Guofu wasn¡¯t angry at Bai Chuwei at all, instead, he red at them, seemingly thinking that the couple was not following the rules. As the eldest person present from the Bai Family, who did she need to give face to? She did exactly as she pleased! The main branch of the Bai Family, a family of four, watched with inner delight and their impression of Bai Chuwei improved even more. It was known that due to Bai Hongguang¡¯s ineptitude, the old man had always favored the second branch more. Liu Man was so angry she could spit blood, fiercely clutching her handbag on herp. Who coveted Bai Chuwei¡¯s junk anyway? How much could that trash possibly be worth? Having lost face because of Bai Chuwei, Liu Man, who had a strong personality, insisted on regaining some of her dignity. She fixed a forced smile at Bai Chuwei, saying, ¡°Weiwei, I know you are angry with mom for making Yinyin meet Professor Zhao. I did it for Yinyin¡¯s future. If Yinyin can get on good terms with Professor Zhao Guangming, it might make it easier for her to get into Imperial Capital Universityter, right?¡± Even the prestigious Bai Family held Imperial Capital University in awe; getting in on one¡¯s own merit was something to be proud of. As expected, Bai Hongguang and Liu Man both noticed the evident shock on the faces of the elders from the main branch! Even Bai Shang was surprised, ¡°Professor Zhao Guangming? The same one who was a guest on the ¡®National Treasure Calligraphy and Paintings¡¯ show? That¡¯s a real big shot!¡± Bai Shang liked to collect antiques and calligraphy, so he frequently watched such shows. ¡°National Treasure Calligraphy and Paintings¡± was a wildly popr appraisal show on central TV a few years ago, and Professor Zhao was recognized as a master! Not only was he excellent at appraising calligraphy and paintings, but he was also a contemporary calligraphy master. Liu Man nodded proudly, ¡°That¡¯s right. Yinyin is probably having a delightful chat with Professor Zhao right now.¡± Bai Chuwei chuckled softly, ¡°Delightful, hardly, but failing to click is certain.¡± Bai Shang had been holding back hisughter, his mustache twitching, while Bai Ze could no longer contain himself and burst into heartyughter right there. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Bai Shang¡¯s face turned red as he tried to stifled hisughter; sensing the tense atmosphere, he quickly tried to smooth things over with augh, ¡°Haha, thank you, Sister Weiwei, for the gift. Let me see what treasure my little cousin has given me.¡± Bai Shang gently unrolled the scroll, revealing andscape painting with a poem inscribed in an unknown script in the upper left corner. Bai Shang did not recognize the script but was struck by the bold and unrestrained handwriting. Touching the material of the scroll, his expression changed slightly, ¡°The texture and style of this painting¡­ I get the feeling it resembles¡­ a work from the Hanyua Country period?¡± As soon as Bai Shang finished speaking, there was a knock at the door; Bai Yinyin walked in, chin up and strutting proudly, and said to the elder beside her, ¡°Professor Zhao, pleasee in.¡± All the Bai Family members present were astonished; Bai Yinyin had actually invited Professor Zhao to their private dining room? When Bai Shang saw his idol Professor Zhao, he immediately ced the scroll on the table and stood up to greet him. Suddenly, like a gust of wind, Zhao Guangming rushed forward, brushing past Bai Shang and fixating on the painting on the table, his voice trembling with excitement, ¡°This¡­ Who gave you this painting?!¡± The script on it was written in Spiritual White Script! Chapter 151 - 151 Bai Chuwei Bullies Others Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Bai Chuwei Bullies Others You should know that there are only two surviving Spiritual White Script calligraphy and painting works in the world today, both ssified as first-tier cultural relics in China, and currently stored in the National Museum. N?v(el)B\\jnn Where did this paintinge from?! Zhao Guangming is highly skilled in calligraphy and is also a leading figure in the art appraisal industry. By touching the material of the scroll and observing the content of the painting, he could confirm that it was authentic, not a forgery. Bai Shang suddenly saw his idol dumbfounded for a while, then pointed at Bai Chuwei. It was a gift from his new cousin, and he had no expectations for a student¡¯s housewarming present; a token of thoughtfulness was enough. Clutching the painting tightly, Zhao Guangming followed Bai Shang¡¯s finger and saw the young girl sitting in front of the dining table, propping up her chin and smiling at them, her aura ethereal and elegant. Zhao Guangming stared at Bai Chuwei, then blurted out, ¡°Aren¡¯t you the female student who gave me an umbre at the school gate yesterday?¡± He hadn¡¯t expected to see her again! In an instant, Zhao Guangming¡¯s fondness for Bai Chuwei skyrocketed. Clearly, she was the real ¡°Bai ssmate¡±! She matched the image he had in mind perfectly¡ªtruly, ¡®the style matches the person¡¯ was not just an empty saying. Soon, Zhao Guangming¡¯s thoughts were pulled back to the scroll in his hands. The old professor¡¯s eyes turned red as he stared intensely at Bai Chuwei, his breathing bing heavier: ¡°Do you know this calligraphy and painting is a cultural relic? Why would you give it away?¡± Bai Chuwei, hearing this, responded honestly, ¡°Because it¡¯s valuable.¡± Its market value should be no less than eighty million. Isn¡¯t Bai Shang keen on money and antiques? So she catered to his interests. Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangming almost spat out a mouthful of blood, shouting somewhat unhinged, ¡°This is a national treasure, a priceless treasure! How can you measure it with money?¡± Bai Chuwei rolled her eyes, ¡°Without putting a money value on it, it¡¯s just a piece of waste paper.¡± Such calligraphy and paintings, in her space, were just gathering dust in a pile. Zhao Guangming was so agitated he was almost roaring, muttering ¡°national treasure¡± to himself, Bai Shang even considered whether to hand it over to the state¡­ Bai Yinyin was dumbstruck, this was nothing like what she had imagined! She was the one who brought Professor Zhao, she was supposed to be the envy of everyone, right? Bai Yinyin sped her hands together and called out softly, ¡°Professor Zhao?¡± Zhao Guangming, holding the ¡®Spring River under Moonlight¡¯ painting, as if awakening from a dream, looked at Bai Chuwei with an increasingly fervent gaze, his voice trembling, ¡°Bai ssmate, you¡¯re the student who wrote that Chinese exam paper, the one who knows Spiritual White Script, right? I came all the way from the Imperial Capital specifically to find you!¡± Zhao Guangming didn¡¯t need to ask; if Bai Chuwei could give away this scroll, it was certainly her. When Bai Yinyin heard this, it struck her like a thunderbolt, her face¡¯s smug smile gradually faded, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at Zhao Guangming. Bai Yinyin, clutching her head, screamed uncontrobly, ¡°How is this possible?!¡± He came to find Bai Chuwei? Wasn¡¯t he here to find her? Bai Chuwei spoke indifferently, ¡°I remember I warned you.¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s mind went nk, her ears ringing, suddenly feeling like she could see and hear nothing. Bai Chuwei had warned her¡­ Yes,st night Bai Chuwei said that Zhao Guangming wasing for her¡­ It was actually true. Bai Yinyin¡¯s face turned deathly pale, under the awkward stares of everyone present, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Bai Yinyin suddenly realized, what was she doinging here to embarrass Bai Chuwei? She obviously came to humiliate herself! Bai Yinyin couldn¡¯t hold back and tears instantly burst from her eyes. Bai Chuwei was bullying her! Chapter 152: I Have Plenty of This Sort of Thing Chapter 152: Chapter 152: I Have Plenty of This Sort of Thing The private room was filled with an awkward atmosphere that kept spreading. ¡°But you said you wereing to see me,¡± Bai Yinyin sobbed through her tears. Professor Zhao Guangming was also very embarrassed, knowing the faulty with himself, and tried to console her, ¡°Bai Yinyin¡¯s calligraphy is also quite good, it can be considered a pretty good talent.¡± Hearing this, Bai Yinyin¡¯s tears flowed even more fiercely, she wished she could throw a tantrum right there on the floor, nearly fainting from crying. She had practiced calligraphy for ten years, and now in Professor Zhao¡¯s eyes, did it only amount to a talent show performance? Was her dream of attending Imperial Capital University now shattered? Wah¡ª Is there no justice in this world! Why did Bai Chuwei get all the good things? It¡¯s not fair! Bai Guofu looked at Bai Yinyin displeased and sternly said, ¡°I told you before, not heeding the old¡¯s advice leads to imminent loss. How many times had your ancestors warned you before?¡± Now look at the state your face is in! Bringing Professor Zhao to a family gathering was like offering one¡¯s face for a p, wasn¡¯t it? Bai Yinyin just now was as proud as a peacock; now she looked like an eggnt beaten by frost. On Liu Man¡¯s face was a flush of embarrassment, pulling the loudly crying Bai Yinyin and awkwardly saying, ¡°I¡¯ll take Yinyin to the restroom to wash her face.¡± This is so embarrassing! Liu Man almost cried with her daughter. She had boasted to all thedies in her circle yesterday that her daughter had caught the eye of Professor Zhao; now it was all over. Liu Man quickly pulled Bai Yinyin out of the private room, and Bai Chuwei could still hear Bai Yinyin¡¯s crying. The private room was filled with an enigmatic awkwardness¡­ n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Professor Zhao Guangming spoke apologetically, ¡°This matter is all this old man¡¯s fault, as I only took a three-day leave from the school. I was worried about dying time, which is why I followed student Yinyin here.¡± I thought family rtions were supposed to be good and this wouldn¡¯t matter, but who knew it would be so awkward that it made my scalp tingle. Everyoneughed and nodded their heads. At this moment, Professor Zhao Guangming had a belly full of questions. Where on earth had Bai Chuwei learned the Spiritual White Script? And where did she obtain thisndscape painting from? Bai Chuwei felt somewhat helpless, ¡°The reason I know Spiritual White Script is because I invented this script.¡± Zhao Guangming said, ¡°Miss Bai, tell me the truth, I won¡¯t spread it around.¡± Bai Chuwei touched her forehead, knowing that no one would believe such a thing, just as no one would believe she had lived for more than five thousand years. Bai Chuwei said indifferently, ¡°I learned by reading books and practicing through imitation, isn¡¯t that enough to be proficient?¡± Professor Zhao Guangming¡¯s eyes grew even more doubtful. That was impossible! Because the ancient texts written in Spiritual White Script had been burned to ashes during the downfall of Hanyue Country, leaving only two pieces with nearly a hundred words of poetry. Even subsequent experts could not replicate the exact stroke forms of Spiritual White Script! From what book did Bai Chuwei practice imitation? Suddenly, Zhao Guangming lowered his head to look at the painting again, his whole body trembling with excitement. Could it be that such cultural relics exist in abundance with Bai Chuwei, giving her the opportunity to practice through imitation?! Looking at Zhao Guangming sping the painting tightly as if ready to fight anyone who dared touch it, Bai Shang said somewhat speechlessly, ¡°Professor Zhao, if it really is that precious, then¡­ then I¡¯ll hand it over to the state.¡± Bai Chuwei immediately felt displeased, ¡°Shang, I gave this to you to make money by selling it, why give it to Professor Zhao? I have plenty of these things.¡± Plenty! Just as he suspected! Zhao Guangming felt a surge of blood rush to his head, his eyes fixating on Bai Chuwei, terrified she might run away. The thought of possessing objects of equal value to thisndscape painting excited him to his core. He had a bold idea. Chapter 153: Aren’t these just health supplements? Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Aren¡¯t these just health supplements? The Bai Family¡­ couldn¡¯t possibly be secret antique dealers, could they? Zhao Guangming had intended to leave the Bai family gathering first and discuss matters with Bai Chuweiter, but after this was mentioned. Zhao Guangming¡¯s old face reddened slightly, and he stubbornly refused to leave! He had to keep an eye on Bai Chuwei. If what she said was true, it could shock the entire Chinese calligraphy and painting circles! The door to the private room opened, and Bai Yinyin, who had been crying to the point of nearly fainting earlier, returned with her cheeks slightly flushed, apanied by her mother, Liu Man. Bai Yinyin held up her notebook triumphantly and said, ¡°I just met Duan Xiuqi, the Movie King. He was so nice and even asked which private room I was in. He even gave me an autograph!¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s expression changed, and she desperately wanted to give Bai Yinyin a good thrashing! What a foolish thing that brings disgrace to the ancestors. Bai Chuwei¡¯s face turned cold, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in old men.¡± Liu Man, who was only a few years older than Duan Xiuqi, was a loyal fan of the Movie King, and she immediately frowned and said, ¡°He is the ageless male god! Weiwei, by the time you reach his age, who knows, maybe you will be covered in wrinkles!¡± Bai Chuwei chuckled lightly, ¡°By the time Duan Xiuqi would be my age, he¡¯d have turned to ash long ago.¡± Great Aunt Yang Shuhui coughed awkwardly. The Bai¡¯s main and side branches were at odds. The side branch had no real talent, but Liu Man always boasted about her maintenance being better than Yang Shuhui¡¯s, often making snide remarks under her breath. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Yang Shuhui always felt Liu Man was implying that she was old. Yang Shuhui cursed under her breath. Weren¡¯t they all in their forties or fifties? Liu Man, have the guts to go your whole life without wrinkles or aging! Yang Shuhui forced a smile and shook the little bottle in her hand, asking cheerfully, ¡°Weiwei, what is this stuff?¡± Knowing what Bai Chuwei had just given to Xiaofu, it couldn¡¯t be anything ordinary. Bai Chuwei casually replied, ¡°Beauty Pills.¡± She had some leftover Spiritual Medicine and had casually made some Elixirs. Those three words confused everyone. Bai Chuwei patiently exined, ¡°It has effects like removing yellowness, reducing wrinkles, whitening, and brightening theplexion.¡± Yang Shuhui had heard that Bai Chuwei knew medicine and could even treat nearsightedness! Perhaps this was true! Bai Hongmin held the bottle in his hand, asking shockingly, ¡°This isn¡¯t Beauty Pills, is it? Are you trying to turn me into a handsome old guy?¡± ¡°It¡¯s for strengthening the body.¡± Bai Ze sniffed the bottle he took, his usually bronze face flushed with excitement, his tiger eyes widened, ¡°This¡­ this is the Heavenly Spiritual Pill, isn¡¯t it?! Only a few of our Qingxuan Sect Masters have these! How can you give away something like this?¡± Bai Ze had been fortunate enough to see one before, so he recognized it. Bai Chuwei replied with a hint of innocence, ¡°Can¡¯t the Heavenly Spiritual Pill also strengthen the body?¡± Bai Ze felt dizzy. Strengthening the body could be possible¡­ but wasn¡¯t the most important purpose of the Heavenly Spiritual Pill for Qi Refinement? Who would consume such an Elixir just for strengthening the body? That would be a crime against the very heavens!! Even his master was too reluctant to consume it, only asionally admiring and sniffing it¡­ Bai Guofu¡¯s eyes bulged, as he shoved all the younger members aside, urgently shouting, ¡°Ancestor, look at me, look at Xiaofu, Xiaofu needs such a thing the most!¡± Bai Chuwei patted the little old man¡¯s head, soothing him, ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll also give you one when we get back.¡± Bai Ze quickly grabbed the booklet that Bai Chuwei had given to him and flipped it open. The first page was written in traditional characters: ¡°Seven-Day Quick Qi Cultivation for Beginners.¡± Bai Hongguang, Liu Man, and Bai Yinyin, watching the excited crowd, ¡°¡­¡± The three looked disdainfully thinking, all these talks of Spiritual Pills and martial arts secrets, have they watched too many TV shows? These things that Bai Chuwei gave away, they¡¯re all just health supplements, right? If any of Bai Chuwei¡¯s gifts have the slightest use, they¡¯ll get on their knees and call him dad! Chapter 154: This New Cousin Definitely Has an Extraordinary Background Chapter 154: Chapter 154: This New Cousin Definitely Has an Extraordinary Background Bai Yinyin curled her lips and whispered, ¡°A single pill and it works? What a joke, what¡¯s the point of medical beauty treatments then?¡± She felt that her grandfather and her eldest uncle¡¯s family were all abnormal. The things that Bai Chuwei had given them were like health products. There was a health product scam going around in the market nowadays, targeting older and middle-aged people. Who knew if these things were part of that? Seeing that Bai Chuwei hadn¡¯t given any to them, for a moment, Bai Yinyin¡¯s family of three felt a sense of superiority as if ¡°everyone¡¯s drunk but I alone am sober¡±. Bai Ze sat in his seat, nced at his disdainful second uncle, and muttered under his breath, ¡°A family of fools who can¡¯t recognize a treasure!¡± This new cousin¡¯s background was definitely not simple! And their grandfather definitely knew something. Bai Shang nodded deeply as he looked at the scroll that Professor Zhao Guangming was holding tightly to his chest. Bai Shang¡¯s vision was also pretty good, he couldn¡¯t guarantee the usefulness of the other things, but if the scroll was genuine, it would be worth about eighty million in the market. And it seemed like grandfather was calling her¡­ an ancestor? Bai Chuwei was speechless about the current cultivation environment. She remembered that five thousand years ago, it had taken her just one hour to sessfully refine Qi. Her cousin Bai Ze went to train at the Qingxuan Sect when he was five, and until now, he was just shy of the entry level. No wonder in the original story, Bai Ze couldn¡¯t even handle a mere hundred thugs by himself. She felt it would be unreasonable not to lend a hand. Liu Man smiled at Yang Shuhui with a meaningful tone, ¡°Haha, the gift that Weiwei gave is quite useful, huh? Then I¡¯m also looking forward to seeing if the wrinkles disappear after you use it, big sister-inw.¡± No matter how good-natured Yang Shuhui was, she wanted to punch this sister-inw. Biting her teeth, Yang Shuhui said, ¡°Fine, just wait for the results after I use it!¡± A moment ago, Yang Shuhui had opened the bottle and taken a whiff, it was a very special fragrance that was soothing to the body and mind. It was still Bai Shang who made the peace: ¡°Everyone has been here for so long, let¡¯s order food and eat first.¡± Bai Yinyin felt ufortable seeing Professor Zhao Guangming, knowing that she had no chance, she didn¡¯t even look straight at Zhao Guangming. When the waiter came in, she grabbed the menu that was handed to her, ready to open it and order. Bai Guofu¡¯s face darkened, and he scolded lowly, ¡°Yinyin, what about your manners?¡± Bai Yinyin suddenly realized her mistake, her face showing a bit of embarrassment. Today was a family gathering for the Bai Family, and it was the turn of the elders, not Bai Yinyin¡¯s, to order the meal. Bai Yinyin pouted and obediently passed the menu to Bai Guofu, but his face darkened even further: ¡°Yinyin, are you still half asleep?¡± Bai Yinyin felt like crying again, she had already given the menu to her grandfather, what more did he want from her? Bai Yinyin reluctantly pushed the menu in the direction of Professor Zhao Guangming, noticing that Bai Guofu¡¯s expression darkened even more. Bai Yinyin was exasperated, ¡°Grandpa, what are you trying to say? Who should order then? You can¡¯t possibly expect Bai Chuwei to do it, can you?¡± Bai Guofu smiled with satisfaction: ¡°You finally got something right.¡± Bai Yinyin: ¡°???¡± Really letting Bai Chuwei order? Who present was not older than Bai Chuwei? What made her eligible to order for everyone? Bai Yinyin wanted to say more, but Liu Man kicked her under the table and gave her daughter a look. Bai Yinyin realized all of a sudden that a country girl might not be able to order any good dishes! Order! Let Bai Chuwei have her fill of ordering! Bai Chuwei reached out to take the menu, her delicate fingers tracing over each dish. Bai Yinyin held back augh, reminding her, ¡°Bai Chuwei, the dishes you¡¯re ordering are all Chef Cao¡¯s specialties, but unfortunately, Chef Cao has already hung up his apron, he won¡¯t be taking any orders for the next twenty days.¡± n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Without raising her head, Bai Chuwei saidzily, ¡°I know.¡± Everyone present was stunned. If Bai Chuwei knew, then why was she still ordering? Was she asking for humiliation? Chapter 155: Purple Gold Flower Card Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Purple Gold Flower Card Bai Chuwei raised an eyebrow and countered, ¡°Is that important?¡± Isn¡¯t it important? Though Chef Cao is in the kitchen of Juxian Pavilion, he has made it clear that he¡¯s not epting any orders from customers, not even from those holding the restaurant¡¯s gold cards, at least for now. It¡¯s said that Chef Cao is experimenting with a new recipe, and the apprentices are watching on the side, their mouths watering. The server in charge of taking orders was also visibly distressed and was about to speak when suddenly, there was a flicker in front of him! Bai Chuwei gracefully extended her hand, a Purple Gold Flower Card casually held between her slender index and middle fingers, and asked indifferently, ¡°Can I ce my order now?¡± The server¡¯splexion changed dramatically, nervously taking the card with both hands for a closer look, and gasped in surprise, repeating, ¡°Please¡­ please go ahead.¡± Everyone was taken aback: ¡°???¡± What¡¯s going on? Bai Chuwei continued non-stop, ¡°Braised shark fin with yellow sauce, jade shrimp, beggar¡¯s chicken, roasted suckling pig, assorted stewed chicken¡­¡± Bai Chuwei closed the menu and instructed, ¡°Tell Chef Cao to make it quick.¡± The server nodded nervously and quickly left the private room. Bai Yinyin was dubious, ¡°How could you ce an order? That card just now¡­ wait, the biggest card at Juxian Pavilion is the gold card!¡± In the whole of Haicheng, there are no more than fifty holders of Juxian Pavilion¡¯s gold card. When did a Purple Gold Flower Carde into y? Even Boss Duan probably only has a gold card, right? A fake one? Even if Bai Yinyin is na?ve, she wouldn¡¯t think Bai Chuwei would dare to unt a fake card. Antique paintings and calligraphy can be fake, as some may be fooled by imitations, but who would deceive with a fake card? Bai Chuwei is no fool. Bai Shang looked at Bai Chuwei thoughtfully andughed, ¡°Juxian Pavilion does have the Purple Gold Flower Card, but these rare purple cards, as far as I know¡­ are only given to members of the Cao Family.¡± n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om For instance, Zhao Simeng, the wife of Chef Cao, has one. Bai Shang had seen it once when they were discussing business. Upon hearing this, Bai Yinyin scoffed. That exined it. Hadn¡¯t there been a rumor that Bai Chuwei had hooked up with Cao Yushu? This made sense now. Bai Chuwei was being foolish, daring to show off such a card? Didn¡¯t she know it was meant for use only by members of the Cao Family? If Chef Cao saw it, wouldn¡¯t he think Bai Chuwei was seducing his son, and wouldn¡¯t he be furious? How could he possibly be willing to cook? Wishful thinking! With different thoughts running through their minds, Zhao Guangming was admiring thendscape painting he held, Bai Ze was excitedly looking through an introductory manual, and Bai Guofu was contemting how to get more health and strength-enhancing Spirit Pills from his ancestors. About ten minutester, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Servers began to bring in the first dish one after the other, and the entire room was instantly filled with a rich aroma. Delicious! Truly delicious! Everyone swallowed their saliva, and Bai Yinyin and a few others were suddenly dumbfounded. Howe the food was really served? Bai Yinyin caught Bai Chuwei¡¯s seemingly smiling expression, her face burning with embarrassment, she grabbed a server and questioned in shock, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t Chef Cao say that he¡¯s not epting orders from any customers right now?¡± The server looked respectfully at Bai Chuwei and exined with utmost courtesy, ¡°You¡¯re right, guest, but Chef Cao said that Miss Bai is the only exception.¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s smile froze, ¡°¡­¡± Really? This works??? Chef Cao, have you lost your mind? Your son has been ensnared by Bai Chuwei, and you¡¯re still cooking for her? Is there no justice left?! Bai Shang and Bai Ze exchanged nces; this new cousin¡¯s background must be anything but ordinary. Chapter 156: Even if You Break the Door, You Still Can’t Enter! Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Even if You Break the Door, You Still Can¡¯t Enter! Bai Chuwei ordered a session of dishes that were brought up, and Chef Cao even threw in a generous assortment of little desserts. Bai Chuwei looked at Bai Yinyin and Liu Man with a smile brimming in her eyes, ¡°Mother, Yinyin, would you like more?¡± The family of three sighed in relief, and suddenly, Bai Chuwei realized with a sh, ¡°That¡¯s right, if you don¡¯t eat, you really might miss the chance to taste Chef Cao¡¯s dishes again, after all, Chef Cao won¡¯t be taking any orders for the next twenty days.¡± Bai Yinyin and Liu Man were so angry their voices were trembling, ¡°You¡­ you¡­¡± That wretched girl, she was actually mocking them! Bai Chuwei turned a deaf ear and leisurely picked up her chopsticks first to take the first dish, then casually said to the restaurant manager at her side, ¡°Tell Chef Cao, no need toe see me, just focus on learning his recipes.¡± Upon hearing this, the restaurant manager nodded repeatedly and retreated from the private room with the utmost respect. The moment Chef Cao Jinhai got the news, he hurriedly finished preparing the dishes Bai Chuwei ordered, ready to take a shower and rush over to see her, but Bai Chuwei directly ordered him not toe. After the waitstaff left, the meal officially began. The n of the main house observed Bai Chuwei thoughtfully. Although it was a dinner gathering of two families, all present were older rtives, yet it seemed that Bai Chuwei was the invisible leader. Bai Shang keenly noticed one thing¡ª It was only after Bai Chuwei picked up her chopsticks and took the first bite that Grandpa Bai Guofu started to eat his meal. Indeed, worthy of being one of the top three chefs in Haicheng, Chef Cao Jinhai, the table was full of dishes that were a feast for the eyes and a delight to the taste, so much so that even Zhao Guangming couldn¡¯t help but take a few extra bites. Delicious! Bai Chuwei ate at a leisurely pace, when suddenly her ears moved, and her brows furrowed, clicking her tongue lightly. It truly didn¡¯t allow one to have a peaceful meal. Ever since hest saw Bai Chuwei at her father¡¯s recovery banquet, Duan Xiuqi had been somewhat absent-minded these days. Two pieces of news. Bai Chu got married. Bai Chuwei and Bai Chu almost looked identical. However, Duan Xiuqi understood better than anyone that no one could stay young forever. The present Bai Chuwei was the spitting image of Bai Chu at eighteen, even if he had doubts when she told him Bai Chu was her aunt, he had no choice but to believe. He wanted to talk to Bai Chuwei face to face. Just now, he happened to run into Bai Yinyin and learned their private room¡¯s location. Duan Xiuqi left the director behind and headed straight for private room 201. ¡°Knock knock knock¡± on the door, no one inside paid any attention, but the sounds of the Bai family eating, drinking, andughing could be heard. Duan Xiuqi¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, and looking down, he saw warm yellow light filtering through the gaps of the wooden door, suggesting there should be someone inside. Knocking again, still no response, but clearly there were soundsing from inside¡­ He had just encountered a waiter, who said they had just served a meal in this private room. With a wine ss in hand, Duan Xiuqi hesitated for a moment, ced his hand on the door lock; it wasn¡¯t locked, but¡ª It wouldn¡¯t open!! What in the world. ¡°Xiuqi, what are you doing? The director is looking for you!¡± The agent finally found Duan Xiuqi after searching for a while and pulled him back to private room 209. Duan Xiuqi, with his unruly character backed by the powerful Duan Family, really didn¡¯t have anyone in the entertainment industry to trouble him, so there was no hope of expecting Duan Xiuqi to be offering any toast either. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The agent couldn¡¯t understand why he took a wine ss to this private room! Inside the private room, Bai Chuwei smiled with profound significance. Keep knocking! You won¡¯t get in even if you break the door! Chapter 157: Finally Met You Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Finally Met You After the meal, Bai Chuwei left the private room, and the restaurant manager approached with a beaming smile, handing her a wooden food box. ¡°Chef Cao prepared this specially for you.¡± Without looking, Bai Chuwei could tell by the smell that it was another fried dish, perfect to take back and feed to Xue Qiu. Bai Yinyin began to grumble beside her with indignation. ¡°Since when does the chef at Juxian Pavilion do takeout?¡± Why!! Bai Chuwei nced at Bai Yinyin and asked indifferently, ¡°Do you know why Bai Guofu manages to be lively and kicking even at the age of seventy?¡± Bai Guofu immediately came over with augh, ¡°It¡¯s the blessing of our ancestors!¡± Bai Chuwei shot a look at Bai Yinyin, her voice cool, ¡°Because he dares not to meddle in my business.¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s face turned a mottled shade of purple and blue. ¡°You¡ª¡± Carrying the food box, Bai Chuwei stepped out of Juxian Pavilion and had only walked a few steps when she heard Bai Shang calling from behind. ¡°Cousin Weiwei.¡± Bai Chuwei turned around with a smile. ¡°What does second brother Shang need me for?¡± Bai Shang¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he smiled shrewdly when he began to speak, his expression especially clever. He stroked his chin, ¡°Weiwei has been giving me signals and drawing circles on the table, wasn¡¯t that a sign for me toe to you? Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue; Bai Shang was no fool, indeed a good material for doing business. In the original work, following the male and female leads around to confront the major antagonist Duan Feihan was just asking for bankruptcy! ¡°Second brother, I¡¯ve got a piece of news that could earn you a fortune,¡± Bai Chuwei said, drawing out her words. A gleam of curiosity shed in Bai Shang¡¯s eyes as he regarded Bai Chuwei. ¡°Hasn¡¯t the Tong Family been contracted for a big projecttely?¡± This wasn¡¯t any business secret; Bai Shang knew it already and looked at Bai Chuwei somewhat surprised. Bai Chuwei lowered her voice and said, ¡°Within a month, the Tong Family will be attacked by several powerful families, triggering an economic crisis. It¡¯s all up to you, second brother Shang, whether you can make a killing from it.¡± Bai Shang¡¯s mind buzzed, and he stared at Bai Chuwei in astonishment. ¡°The Tong Family in trouble? How is that possible?!¡± Bai Shang was shocked. Although the Tong Family was only second-rate in Haicheng, their strength was not weak, and with Tong Yunrou about to marry into the Duan Family, the union would strengthen both families even more. At such a time, the Tong Family would be in trouble? It seemed unbelievable. Bai Chuwei¡¯s smile deepened, bing more mysterious. Bai Chuwei¡¯s tone was confident and buoyant, ¡°If I say it can happen, then it definitely will.¡± Just a few days were left before the end of the month, and it looked like the Tong Family wasn¡¯t nning to return the four billion to her. She couldn¡¯t be med for taking action; she had given them a chance. As the saying goes, don¡¯t let the water flow into others¡¯ fields. She was sharing this news with Bai Shang to see if he could bring some money back. Bai Chuwei looked at Bai Shang, who was still in shock, and said with profound meaning, ¡°Second brother, I have high hopes for you.¡± Bai Chuwei sympathetically added, ¡°Also, the Cuiyu Porcin Vase you gifted was a replica, you¡¯ve been swindled.¡± Bai Shang: ¡°???¡± He had been swindled? So¡­ he gifted a fake porcin vase, and his older brother Bai Ze gave heaps of test papers? Were they all useless junk? Bai Shang¡¯s mood became quiteplicated all of a sudden. He had just ridiculed his older brother at the dining table for not understanding students¡­ Was this the case of the pot calling the kettle ck? Bai Chuwei patted his shoulder and said with a casual smile, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m heading home first. I¡¯m looking forward to seeing you make big money.¡± n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Bai Chuwei strolled leisurely toward the underground parking lot, and just then, a white nanny car drove up from a distance¡ª Bai Chuwei wondered whether to kick and burst the nanny car¡¯s tire, but the car stopped steadily in front of her, and a handsome man got out. Duan Xiuqi¡¯s eyes wereplex as he looked at Bai Chuwei. ¡°I¡¯ve finally met you. I want to have a talk.¡± Chapter 158 - 158 Do you want to see her, does she want to see you? Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Do you want to see her, does she want to see you? The nanny van¡¯s agent and assistant were nearly driven insane by Duan Xiuqi¡¯s actions, ¡°Damn it, this is serious!¡± If this gets captured, it¡¯s going to be a huge scandal. The agent called his name softly, but Duan Xiuqi acted as if he hadn¡¯t heard. Bai Chuwei flipped her hair and chuckled lightly, ¡°I have nothing to discuss with you.¡± She had lived for more than five thousand years, met all kinds of people, yet it was specifically Duan Xiuqi who left a deep impression on her. Bai Chuwei still remembered when she first met Duan Xiuqi; he was young and full of vigor, their rtionship was forged through conflict. Bai Chuwei touched her chin, thinking that if he hadn¡¯t tricked her into taking medicine every day, perhaps she wouldn¡¯t have despised him so much. Duan Xiuqi¡¯s voice was hoarse, ¡°I want to see your aunt.¡± Bai Chuweiughed, ¡°You want to see her, but does she want to see you?¡± That remark hit Duan Xiuqi like a strike to the heart. Duan Xiuqi¡¯s face turned ashen, he murmured to himself, ¡°Why? Why does she hate me so much?¡± So much so that she knew he was looking for her, yet she was unwilling to show up for twenty years. Bai Chuwei smiled faintly, ¡°Then you should ask yourself why you leaked the fact that she has a heart condition to the Demonic Cultivators.¡± Having lived for five thousand years, that was the only time she was ever caught off guard, and just thinking about it made her teeth itch with irritation. Having a heart condition was one thing, but now she had to take medicine every day. After saying that, Bai Chuwei turned and disappeared into the darkness. Bai Chuwei was walking toward the Bai Family¡¯s private car when a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar. She frowned and suddenly turned, ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± The gasping restaurant manager appeared before her with three burly men, wiping the sweat off his forehead and smiling at Bai Chuwei, ¡°Miss Bai, you left something behind in the private room; I¡¯ve brought it for you.¡± Left behind something? Bai Chuwei silently observed the three sturdy bodyguards, each holding a stack of test papers, her face expressionless. Duan Xiuqi, your grandfather¡¯s death, is on you! The Bai Ze had sent these to her, and she had ignored them earlier and left the private room. Now the restaurant manager had followed up with them. Bai Chuwei was about to ask them to throw those things away like trash, but suddenly she had a mischievous idea. She had found a way to make use of these materials! She snapped her fingers and ordered, ¡°Just drop it at the entrance.¡± The restaurant manager nodded with augh, instructing the bodyguards to stack the waist-high pile of test materials at the parking lot exit. He seemed surprised to see that it had started lightly raining outside, ¡°How did it start raining all of a sudden?¡± Leaning to the side, Bai Chuwei made a phone call, ¡°Hanhan, I¡¯m at Juxian Pavilion, and it¡¯s started to rain.¡± Duan Feihan looked up at the cloudless night sky speckled with stars. Where did the raine from? He grabbed a clear umbre from the room and walked outside, ¡°Wait for me.¡± * Duan Xiuqi was led onto the nanny van in a daze, the agent looking around anxiously and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of being photographed? Do you know how many people online are betting that your wedding with Miss Tong won¡¯t happen?¡± No sooner had the agent mentioned Tong Yunrou than he received a call from her, inquiring about their current location in the Juxian Pavilion parking lot. It wasn¡¯t long before Tong Yunrou, in high heels, approached the car, and upon entering, saw Duan Xiuqi deep in thought. She felt an inexplicable unease inside, so she rushed straight to the restaurant where Duan Xiuqi¡¯s dinner was being held.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Tong Yunrou forced a smile, ¡°Xiuqi, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Duan Xiuqi looked down at his hands, murmuring, ¡°Bai Chuwei said Bai Chu doesn¡¯t want to see me because I leaked her heart condition to the Demonic Cultivators?¡± Duan Xiuqi suddenly raked his fingers through his hair, expressing his frustration, ¡°When did I ever disclose such information to anyone?¡± Tong Yunrou¡¯s face went pale, and she subconsciously clutched her purse tighter, her lips starting to quiver involuntarily. Chapter 159: Hanhan, lets do it again Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Hanhan, let¡¯s do it again Tong Yunrou lowered her head, her pale lips struggling to move, ¡°Xiuqi, she¡¯s already married and has children abroad.¡± This was the only thing Tong Yunrou could take sce in, Bai Chu had married and had children! Then she would no longer have anypetitiveness. Thinking about Bai Chu asking Tong Family for four billion as if she was demanding the stars from the sky, Yunrou guessed she must not be doing well abroad either, right? Tong Yunrou subconsciously touched her face, which she took great care of; even standing in front of Bai Chu, she should feel quite confident. Tong Yunrou tried to smile, ¡°Xiuqi, I have my eye on a piece of jade at the auction house, next time we¡­¡± Duan Xiuqi interrupted indifferently, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about itter, I¡¯m very busy.¡± Tong Yunrou clutched her purse tightly, her head bowed as tears threatened to fall. It was all because of Bai Chu, even after twenty years she still haunted her! Having married and aged, she didn¡¯t dare to show her face and wanted to forever be the pure and unattainable love in Duan Xiuqi¡¯s heart, sending a niece to wreak havoc instead. Luckily, Bai Chu was unaware of what happened twenty years ago, otherwise¡­ A vicious look shed in Tong Yunrou¡¯s eyes; she would never allow anyone to ruin her wedding! This wedding not only had to happen, but it also needed to be extraordinarily grand. She wanted the whole world to know that the person who married Duan Xiuqi in the end was Tong Yunrou! The agent, seeing through the rear-view mirror that the two were sitting apart, with a gap wide enough to fit anotherrge person between them, noticed Duan Xiuqi resting his chin on his wrist, wearing a ros¨¦ dried petal bracelet, his gaze falling outside the window, looking somewhat mncholic. The agent, Peng Yuan, had been working with Duan Xiuqi since thetter¡¯s debut. Before, Brother Peng was quite worried that finding that Bai girl would lead Duan Xiuqi to retire from the limelight and disappear, but then he got the picture. Duan Xiuqi was most likely going to be a monk in the future; he would never marry in this lifetime.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om This wasn¡¯t a joke, but a literal statement; he had seen Duan Xiuqi visiting a templest year. Who would have thought that under the Tong patriarch¡¯s deathbed coercion, coupled with the fact that Duan Xiuqi owed Tong Yunrou a huge favor, they would end up with this fragile-looking marriage engagement. Brother Peng had even privately advised Duan Xiuqi, saying that Miss Tong Yunrou was quite good, gentle and kind-hearted, and most importantly, she was especially fond of him. Duan Xiuqi had responded with two sentences at the time: ¡°There are plenty of people who like me; she is not the only one.¡± ¡°Brother Peng, once you¡¯ve seen the ocean, it¡¯s hard to take interest in a small stream.¡± * Bai Chuwei stood idly in the underground parking lot, leisurely listening to the drizzle outside; Duan Feihan hadn¡¯t arrived yet. Bored out of her mind, Bai Chuwei climbed onto the hood of a car and sat cross-legged. After hesitating for a while, she opened the wooden food box that Cao Jinhai had given her and grabbed a fried chicken leg. Fried chicken legs were the perfect match for a rainy day! Just as Bai Chuwei was about to take a bite, the man¡¯s t voice came from afar, ¡°Eat less fried food.¡± With a ¡°plop,¡± the fried chicken leg fell onto the hood and rolled off. Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes wereplicated. Why was it that he didn¡¯te when he should, but appeared the moment she was about to eat a chicken leg? Duan Feihan folded his transparent umbre, dressed in a ck casual outfit, and walked step by step toward her, raindrops incessantly falling from the tip of the umbre, tracing a clear streak of water on the ground. Duan Feihan frowned as he saw Bai Chuwei sitting cross-legged on the hood of an unfamiliar car, extending his hand to her, ¡°Come down, be careful.¡± Bai Chuwei wiped her hands with a handkerchief and easily jumped down from the car, ¡°I can get down myself.¡± Just as her feet touched the ground, she suddenly looked up at Duan Feihan. Oops, a miscalction. Such a good opportunity to absorb his Spiritual Energy, and she threw it away? Bai Chuwei decisively climbed back onto the hood of the car and looked at him with a beaming smile, ¡°Hanhan, let¡¯s do it again.¡± Duan Feihan: ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 160: The Deep Love Between Desk Mates Chapter 160: Chapter 160: The Deep Love Between Desk Mates Duan Feihan patiently repeated his earlier words, ¡°Come down.¡± Bai Chuwei corrected, ¡°You left out a ¡®be careful¡¯.¡± Duan Feihan: ¡°¡­Come down, be careful.¡± Bai Chuwei suddenly stood up from the hood of that car, looked down at Duan Feihan, and then hurled herself at him. Caught off guard, the man staggered backward two steps when Bai Chuwei¡¯s sudden embrace hit him, then he quickly wrapped his arms around her waist to steady himself. A faint scent of medicine swirled around his nostrils, causing a jolt of emotion to shake the depths of his eyes. Bai Chuwei buried her head against his chest and took in a couple of deep breaths, feeling that today was worth it, so she could skip going back for her pills. A bargain. Bai Chuwei stole a nce at the Sandalwood Buddhist Beads on his left wrist, struggling to resist the urge to take them off him. Duan Feihan coughed and pulled Bai Chuwei out, ¡°Your action just now was too dangerous.¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Bai Chuwei responded with an indifferent ¡°Oh.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s dark eyes fixed on Bai Chuwei, saying, ¡°Xingye told me you¡¯re meeting with the entire Bai Family tonight, so you didn¡¯t take their car back, but instead said it was raining and asked me to pick you up.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s voice paused, ¡°Next time, you don¡¯t need to find an excuse, I wille to pick you up directly.¡± Bai Chuwei looked at him and shook her head, ¡°Hanhan, you¡¯re overthinking it, I called you because I really had something, I didn¡¯t make up an excuse.¡± Bai Chuwei patted the revision materials standing beside them almost as tall as Duan Feihan¡¯s waist, taking malicious pleasure, ¡°Could you help me deliver these to Duan Xingye? He loves studying so much, I¡¯m gifting it all to him.¡± See, how profound was her camaraderie for her sweet and na?ve desk-mate! Duan Feihan looked at the tall stack of revision materials, a vein throbbing on his temple, ¡°¡­¡± He probably hadn¡¯t written this much homework in his entire three years of high school. Normally, why hadn¡¯t he seen Bai Chuwei this generous? Bai Chuwei then egged him on, ¡°Come on, get your car over here, and I¡¯ll move these materials into the trunk!¡± Duan Feihan nced at her slender arms and legs, his voice deep, ¡°You stand there, I¡¯ll take care of it.¡± Duan Feihan quickly moved the pile of homework into the car, and the trunk was nearly unable to fit everything in. Bai Chuwei reveled in schadenfreude, ¡°Duan Xingye will definitely feel my profound affection as a desk-mate!¡± Duan Feihan: ¡°¡­Indeed, very profound.¡± Bai Chuwei looked at the transparent umbre, ¡°Mine?¡± Duan Feihan nodded, ¡°Yes, yours. I brought it over for you.¡± Not long after Duan Feihan¡¯s car left Juxian Pavilion, the rain stopped. Bai Chuwei took out her cell phone, leaned against the car door, her fingers flying over the virtual keyboard, and dialed a phone number. ¡°Hello?¡± The other side was very puzzled. Bai Chuwei¡¯s tone wasnguid, ¡°Did you get any useful dirt?¡± The man was stunned for a good while, finding the voice familiar and then suddenly realizing, ¡°Oh, are you thedy who brought me into Juxian Pavilion today and also told me the room number of Duan Xiuqi¡¯s booth?¡± Bai Chuwei hummed in affirmation, causing the paparazzo to be shocked; how did she know his phone number? Bai Chuwei repeated, ¡°Did you get it?¡± The paparazzi man pped his thigh, extremely excited, ¡°I didn¡¯t get a shot! But I owe it all to you, miss. Since Juxian Pavilion thought I was with you, I went back to their surveince room afterward and saw that the acting emperor Duan was getting intimate with a girl in a school uniform!¡± It¡¯s just a pity he didn¡¯t see the girl¡¯s face. Bai Chuwei: ¡°???¡± Bai Chuwei took a deep breath, ¡°Do you want your press credentials revoked for being more trouble than you¡¯re worth?¡± Chapter 161: Hanhan, Ill Attend to Your End of Life Care in the Future Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Hanhan, I¡¯ll Attend to Your End of Life Care in the Future The paparazzo seemed somewhat aggrieved, ¡°Miss, that¡¯s not what I meant. Isn¡¯t this scoop explosive enough? The Film Emperor Duan is about to marry Miss Tong!¡± Bai Chuwei: You¡¯re filming me for God¡¯s sake!! For the first time, Bai Chuwei felt that she had been unobservant. Bai Chuwei was seriously pissed, her hand resting on the car window, she nced at Duan Feihan and said, ¡°If you dare to release it, I¡¯ll have President Duan from Ruishi Entertainment cklist you in the industry! I¡¯ll let Juxian Pavilion sue you for stealing their surveince footage!¡± The paparazzo was frightened, ¡°Please calm down, acting on impulse is the devil. I¡¯ll delete it right now, right now!¡± So, had he been busy doing nothing inside? After hanging up the phone, the sound of the wind came from outside the car window. Duan Feihan¡¯s hands were on the steering wheel, his tone as calm as ever, ¡°What were you and Duan Xiuqi doing in the underground parking lot?¡± Clearly, he had heard Bai Chuwei¡¯s conversation with the paparazzo. Bai Chuwei answered nonchntly, ¡°Nothing much, just tried and failed to blow up his car tires.¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly, ¡°He has quite a few crazy fans, don¡¯t be impulsive.¡± Bai Chuwei rested her chin in her hand, looking at Duan Feihan¡¯s profile with interest, her tone drawn out, ¡°Hanhan, you still care about me a lot.¡± Duan Feihan was silent, his long hands tightening on the steering wheel. He drove Bai Chuwei to the Bai Family vi, ¡°Don¡¯t eat fried food tonight, goodnight.¡± Bai Chuwei sat in the passenger seat, unwilling to get out. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Chuwei looked at him with a smile, ¡°Since Hanhan cares about me so much, then in the future¡­¡± Duan Feihan¡¯s expression flickered, and then he heard Bai Chuwei crisply say, ¡°I¡¯ll send you off when you die.¡± For a moment, Duan Feihan choked, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Get out of the car, goodnight.¡± Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue, took her wooden food box, and left with a wave. Don¡¯t disbelieve it; she had seen generations of underlings die and turn into mounds of yellow soil. Bai Chuwei silently went up to her bedroom on the third floor. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Xue Qiu lying at the window, looking outside. ¡®Ancestor, howe that Fourth Master Duan brought you back again? I¡¯ve seen it many times already!¡¯ Xue Qiu leaped excitedly into the food box, squealing, ¡®Quality stuff!¡¯ Bai Chuwei stretchedzily, ¡°Him? Future underling.¡± Xue Qiu, munching on French fries, mumbled indistinctly, ¡®I don¡¯t think he wants to be the Ancestor¡¯s underling.¡¯ Bai Chuwei rolled her eyes, if not an underling, then what?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om No matter the age, everyone turns into a mound of yellow soil in the end. She had been alone for over five thousand years with no family, she never made friends, nor had a lover. The mere decades of ordinary humans¡¯ lives were but a mayfly¡¯s lifespan to her. Even Duan Feihan would be the same, growing old and stepping into a coffin, while she remained unchanged. So, they weren¡¯t fellow travelers. At most, he could be an underling, which wouldn¡¯t be too bad. ¡°Thump¡ªthump¡ªthump,¡± a knocking sounded. Bai Chuwei nced at Xue Qiu, who was frenziedly eating, and stood up to open the door herself. Professor Zhao Guangming excitedly walked in, holding the scroll, ¡°Bai ssmate, I saw the light on in your third-floor bedroom just now and guessed that you might be home, so I came up to find you.¡± ¡°Bai ssmate, you said you learned the Spiritual White Script by copying from a book? Which book exactly? What¡¯s this about?¡± Zhao Guangming pressed for answers. Zhao Guangming felt that he wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep unless he figured this out! Bai Chuwei massaged her temples, finding Professor Zhao quite troublesome. She walked towards the changing room and casually grabbed a book from her space, tossing it into Zhao Guangming¡¯s hands, ¡°Here, I learned from this book, okay?¡± Zhao Guangming nced at the book¡¯s title on the cover, his legs instantly went weak, his brain buzzing, his voice trembling, ¡°The original?¡± How could it be that book? The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 162 - 162 Manuscript Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Manuscript The thread-bound book with a blue cover had slightly curled page corners and a slight yellow tinge to its pages, showing its many years. And emzoned on that cover in brilliant characters were the four words ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon¡±. Zhao Guangming felt as though his blood was rushing to his head, his entire body trembling. Zhao Guangming bit down hard on his tongue, a faint taste of blood filling his mouth, before he gradually began toe to his senses. Zhao Guangming, shaking uncontrobly, took out a pair of presbyopic sses from his pocket and ced them on his nose. Looking through the lenses, his legs grew even weaker. The four characters now appeared even more distinct! Zhao Guangming¡¯s mind went nk with fear, ¡°Could this¡­ this be the manuscript of ¡®Records of the Mountain Moon¡¯?¡± Bai Chuwei looked at Professor Zhao, who had gone weak in the knees and knelt on the ground, and smiled, ¡°Regardless of whether I say it¡¯s a genuine manuscript or not, you would still have it authenticated, right? Belief is yours, not mine.¡± Almost screaming and clutching his head, Zhao Guangming leapt up from the ground, bracing himself on the desk. The refined professor was a step away from roaring, ¡°Gloves! I need gloves!¡± Bai Chuwei: ¡°¡­Professor Zhao, you can look at it directly.¡± Zhao Guangming¡¯s face flushed with excitement, his saliva flying, ¡°If¡­ if this is the genuine manuscript, do you know what that would mean, Student Bai? If I damaged even a speck of it, I would be a criminal to the entire world!¡± Bai Chuwei: ¡°¡­¡± That¡¯s a bit much.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Looking around Bai Chuwei¡¯s bedroom, Zhao Guangming¡¯s gaze locked onto a food container inside which Cao Jinhai had ced several transparent gloves. Zhao Guangming, deciding to take action without hesitation, snatched the transparent gloves that Xue Qiu would not use, no longer caring why a fat hamster would be eating fried foods. He knelt on the wool carpet beside Bai Chuwei¡¯s bed, holding the book in his hands with utter reverence, his heart thumping nervously. He gritted his teeth and flipped it open¡ª On the yellowed pages were lines of graceful and carefree writing, starting from the very first word of the first chapter. Each word was written in Spiritual White Script, and it was clearly a manuscript, as there were traces of corrections and deletions! At that moment, Zhao Guangming¡¯s brain cells were hyperactive, and his emotions surged with indescribable excitement. Bai Chuwei sat by, worried that Zhao, in his agitation, could risk a stroke. With the manuscript in hand, Zhao Guangming entered a state of frenzy, muttering to himself, ¡°The unofficial history has records that the original author ¡®Bai¡¯ of the ¡®Records of the Mountain Moon¡¯ wrote it in Spiritual White Script, it¡¯s true¡­¡± He flipped through the pages quickly, then suddenly jolted! ¡°Seals! There are seals!¡± Bai Chuwei watched as Zhao Guangming¡¯s face grew redder and his breathing faster, ¡°Old Zhao, calm down, do you want me to give you some medicine?¡± If he kept on being this excited, he was going to meet his maker tonight! Zhao Guangming was patting his thigh,ughing and crying, ¡°Student Bai, there are seals! The Emperor¡¯s seals from that time, and seals from various departments approving printing!¡± Now, in cultural relics, there are the original seals of the Emperor, they just needed to bepared to verify the authenticity. Zhao Guangming had a strong intuition that the book in his hands was the original manuscript from that era! He forced himself not to get too excited, not too excited, until he looked carefully at thest few pages. ¡°Ah, it¡¯s actually¡­ it is¡ª¡± Zhao Guangming was so overwhelmed that he didn¡¯t finish his sentence, his eyelids fluttered, his blood pressure sky-rocketed, and he fainted on the spot. Bai Chuwei: ¡°¡­¡± Could the old man be¡­ a little too excited? Chapter 163: Have You Been Hacked? Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Have You Been Hacked? Bai Chuwei fed the old man a pill and had someone carry him out.N?v(el)B\\jnn Zhao Guangming, despite his age of over seventy, was someone Bai Hongguang and Liu Man, husband and wife, could not afford to have an ident in their home. Fearing responsibility, they sent him straight to the hospital while he was still half-asleep. The emergency room doctor saw Zhao Guangming clinging tightly to a book, muttering to himself. Suddenly, the old man shot up, sitting bolt upright, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at the book in his hands. He took a cell phone and dialed a number shakily. ¡°Professor Zhao, your students have been asking where you¡¯ve been these past few days. You still have many sses to teach, you know. The holiday is over tomorrow, so hurry back to teach!¡± Zhao Guangming muttered to himself, ¡°Teach sses now? I¡¯m not going back.¡± Chancellor of Imperial Capital University: ¡°???¡± Not going back? Professor Zhao, do you realize there are over a thousand students hungrily awaiting your return for ss? Zhao Guangming hung up the call decisively and immediately contacted a series of friends in Haicheng City who were experts in calligraphy, archaeology, and cultural heritage management. Zhao Guangming had an extensivework of friends; his WeChat group was filled with industry contacts. While these old pals were still chatting about their grandchildren, Zhao Guangming sent out a message that shocked the entire group. [Calligraphy Zhao Guangming: I may have found the original manuscript of ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon.¡±] [Traditional Painting Old Li: ?? Did your ount get hacked?] [Go Huang Tianhua: ?? Old Zhao, have you had too much to drink?] ¡­ A unanimous ¡°???¡± filled the WeChat group, followed by Zhao Guangming¡¯s cold snicker. China¡¯s ssical culture circle was about to be shaken. You go on with your question marks, as if you¡¯re the ones hacked! That evening, a group of big shots from the circles showed up at Haicheng City People¡¯s Hospital. Each of these individuals held significant sway in China¡¯s cultural circles, startling the sleepy hospital director into thinking some V.I.P. patient had arrived! However, the hospital ward was tightly sealed; even the bald director could only vaguely hear exmations from inside, and people shouting ¡°Don¡¯t faint¡± and ¡°Steady¡±! Journalists, the most adept at sniffing out news, quickly got wind from their hospital contacts, and culture scene bigwigs from not only Haicheng City but surrounding cities were rushing over! A major announcement that would shock all of China had surely been born. Even though they were stopped by security guards, several disguised reporters managed to sneak in. Zhao Guangming¡¯s eyes were red; he exhaled a thick turbid breath, ¡°So can we confirm the authenticity of the seal on it?¡± The schrly expert beside him pushed up his reading sses, ¡°Almost certainly.¡± If the seal was authentic, then this was ny percent likely to be the manuscript! Zhao Guangming¡¯s gloved hands carefully turned to thest few pages, tears of excitement streaming down his face: ¡°Here are some chapters that were never published!¡± The ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon¡± avable in the marketprised thirty-six chapters, reaching a climax and then abruptly ending. Yet, the manuscript in their hands went on to thirty-eight chapters! This book was written by Bai Chuwei over two hundred years ago. It was just that the old Emperor of that time fell critically ill, so she went back to the Imperial Capital to visit him, and afterwards, simply left the book and was toozy to continue writing it, thus leaving the eunuchs with an unfinished tale for over two centuries. The Emperor¡¯s demise resulted in thest two chapters never being published. A reporter disguised as a nurse overheard the conversation of the cultural moguls and almost fainted with excitement. Damn¡ª!! Absolute breaking news! Chapter 164: Should the college entrance examination change its questions? Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Should the college entrance examination change its questions? This reporter could almost rival an actor, standing there eavesdropping for a while before pretending nothing was amiss and leaving the hospital ward to make a phone call in the deserted garden. The news editor was still groggy and sleepy, and through suppressed anger and yawns, said, ¡°Xiaoli, why are you calling in the dead of night? Do you want your sry docked?¡± The intern reporter Xiaoli let out a coldugh, ¡°Editor, I think you might need to give me a raise and make me a full-fledged reporter. I¡¯ve got big news that will shock all of China.¡± Upon hearing this, the editor wondered if it was Xiaoli, not him, who was half-asleep! Xiaoli said, ¡°Experts in Haicheng found the manuscript of ¡®Records of the Mountain Moon¡¯ today, and it even includes the unpublished chapters 37 and 38. When we break the news tomorrow, it will definitely be the front-page headline!¡± The editor asked, ¡°Are you serious?¡± Of course! The editor sat up with a ¡°swoosh¡± from the bed, his nose twitching with sensitivity, and roared, ¡°What are you waiting for tomorrow? Waiting for someone else to steal our front-page headline? With such big news, you write that press release now! Send it out tonight! Get it done, and I¡¯ll not only make you a full-timer, I¡¯ll triple your bonus for this month!¡± Upon hearing these words, Xiaoli immediately hopped on his little electric scooter and rushed back to his tiny rented room, turned on the oldputer, and started tapping away at the keyboard. After finishing the news article, Xiaoli looked at the stack of instant noodle tubs next to him and let out a satisfied sigh. After tonight, he would leave behind his life of eating instant noodles meal after meal as a corporate drone¡ªhe was going to be a full-timer! At midnight, Bai Chuwei was idly flipping through medical books, muttering to herself, ¡°Where is the secret to making Spicy Soup?¡± Bai Chuwei thought the Spicy Soup was rather inhumane, so after reading about it once thousands of years ago, she had tossed it aside, but now she felt a sudden urge to pick it up again. ¡°Dingdong¡ª¡± The shrill sound of a message notification on her phone echoed piercingly in the quiet third-floor attic. Bai Chuwei picked up her phone, nced at Xue Qiu lying upside down on the desk, fast asleep and snoring, and looked at him with disdain. This sound didn¡¯t wake him up? Bai Chuwei picked up her phone and saw it was a Weibo notification. [Haicheng Daily: ording to reliable sources from our reporters, experts have acquired the original manuscript of ¡®Records of the Mountain Moon¡¯ today, which includes the content of the unpublished chapters 37 and 38.] The students ready for bed were confused: ¡°???¡± What¡¯s going on? No sooner was the Weibo post published than the numbers of shares,ments, and likes skyrocketed, and it quickly trended, with an ¡°explosive¡± tag added behind it. [I Love Eating Watermelons: Is the official media also spreading fake news? They just start making stuff up without even a photo?]N?v(el)B\\jnn [The Most Beautiful Moon Princess: Holy shit!

Holy shit¡ªIf this is true, are they going to change the exam questions for the national entrance exam? Don¡¯t scare me, editor?] ¡­ The entire Weibo tform exploded, with countless people seeking confirmation. ¡®Records of the Mountain Moon¡¯ was already listed as a must-read for everyone, almost everyone who had attended middle school had read it, and most importantly, this book was mandatory reading for the ¡®ssic text interpretation¡¯ section of the middle and high school exams! This meant, if the report was true, the newly discovered chapters could change the topics for the national examinations. That night, while Bai Chuwei studied Spicy Soup in leisure, countless students were plunged into fear¡­ Chapter 165 - 165 Qi Mo, Do You Dare to Hang Up on the Ancestors Call? Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Qi Mo, Do You Dare to Hang Up on the Ancestor¡¯s Call? By the time Zhao Guangming and the group of slow-on-the-uptake experts realized that the news had already spread to the outside world¡ª Zhao Guangming pushed his reflective reading sses up the bridge of his nose and dered emphatically, ¡°There¡¯s a mole!¡± Professor Zhao Guangming was more with the times than other experts, as he used Weibo. When he checked Weibo, he saw thatizens were upte at night discussing the issue. The trending topic hung at the top of the trend list, firmly in ce. In just a few hours, it had already exceeded three hundred million views. The whole nation was paying attention. Phones of all the experts, hospital doctors, and nurses were ringing off the hook, all callsing from journalists making inquiries. Haicheng Daily, which published the news first, gained a million followers overnight. The situation had escted to this extent, so a direct response was necessary. Late that night, the Haicheng Cultural Heritage Preservation Bureau released an official Weibo post, admitting that they indeed had acquired the manuscript of the ssical literature ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon,¡± which contained the unpublished chapters 37 and 38. They had formed an expert panel to analyze it and would publish the original content of theter chapters soon. An internal expert who had already seen thetter content postedte at night, ¡°The content of chapters thirty-seven and thirty-eight is earth-shattering, making any continuation written in the past two hundred years pale inparison. In terms of talent, in this life, I only admire Mr. Bai.¡± Mr. Bai was a term of respect for the original author of ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon,¡± whose gender was unknown to everyone. Those wanting to weep were not just the students about to take their high school and college entrance exams but also directors in the entertainment industry, who nearly turned their hair white overnight. It was a mess. They had just spent a fortune to buy the rights to a certain continuation of the story. Should they even bother filming it now? Would their faces be smashed if it were released? Their hearts were chilled to the core. Meanwhile, book merchants had already sniffed out a business opportunity, instructing their employees to work overtime to prepare a new edition, just waiting for thest two chapters to be released! Bai Chuwei had never expected that the book she had casually written because she was bored would be so revered byter generations. ¡°Wuwuwu¡ªso stinky.¡± Xue Qiu, lying on the desk, suddenly covered his nose and leapt up, looking at Bai Chuwei working on a concoction with horror, ¡°Ancestor, are you messing with poop?¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyelid twitched; she waved her hand from a distance and directly smacked Xue Qiu off the balcony from the third floor. She was making Spicy Soup, and after drinking this concoction, even she wouldn¡¯t be able to make someone remember again. Unlike before, when she took away Bai Yinyin¡¯s memory, there was still a chance for her to remember.N?v(el)B\\jnn Bai Chuwei looked at the strange greenish-blue medicine in the bowl and gently covered her nose. Ugh, it really did stink a bit. ¡­Surely no one would want to eat this stuff, right? It felt like eating shit. Bai Chuwei thought of adding some sort of fragrance to the concoction, so she temporarily put the medicine away. Bai Chuwei looked out at the crescent moon, feeling bored. Having lived for five thousand years, she was fasting again¡ªno need to eat or drink, even sleeping could bepletely skipped. So boring. Living truly wasn¡¯t all that interesting for her. Especially at night, when all was still and the vast majority had started to fall asleep, the sense of loneliness became even more pronounced. Bai Chuwei¡¯s gaze casually fell on the calendar on her desk, and she realized something. Oh, the one-month deadline to repay the Tong Family was approaching. Bai Chuwei perked up, finally finding something to do. Bai Chuwei picked up her phone and directly dialed Qi Mo¡¯s number. The call connected quickly. The next moment, Qi Mo hung up the phone. Bai Chuwei was taken aback, looking down at her phone screen, ¡°???? Qi Mo, you dare hang up on your ancestor? Chapter 166: Greatly Disappointed the Ancestors! Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Greatly Disappointed the Ancestors! Is it you who¡¯s grown tired of living, or have I spoiled you too much? Bai Chuwei, not giving up, made another call only to be hung up on again, and then she sent a WeChat message to Qi Yue: ¡°What is your brother doing?¡± Qi Yue couldn¡¯t figure out why her goddess had suddenly taken an interest in her brother again, and she sneaked to Qi Mo¡¯s bedroom door to eavesdrop. The woman¡¯s coquettishly whining voice sent shivers down Qi Yue¡¯s spine, and she just couldn¡¯t agree with her brother¡¯s taste in women. After all, her brother was supposed to be a young talent, a Haicheng elite, and the current head of one of the eight great families, right? How could he fall for ate-night female livestreamer? Qi Yue really wanted to take her brother to see an ophthalmologist in the presence of their goddess because she felt something was wrong with his vision.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om [The Qi Family¡¯s Little Moon: Goddess, my brother is watching a livestream.] Bai Chuwei scoffed coldly and asked Qi Yue for the room number of the livestream Qi Mo was watching. As soon as she entered, she saw a heavily made-up woman sitting in front of the camera, her body sultry, and as she moved, her cleavage faintly revealed, cooingly thanking the ¡°husbands¡± who sent her gifts. Bai Chuwei: ¡°¡­¡± Bai Chuwei rubbed her eyes, feeling as if they were about to be gouged out. Bai Chuwei felt a sting of heartache; Qi Mo was, after all, from one of the eight great families and someone she had watched grow up. His father had personally brought the young Qi Mo up the mountain to visit her back then. Bai Chuwei looked at the woman posing in the livestream camera and sighed. She had always thought that those who watched these saucy female broadcasters in the middle of the night must be sketchy men, but she didn¡¯t expect Qi Mo to be¡­ This young man was too much of a disappointment to his ancestors! Suddenly, Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyebrows raised slightly, and she watched with interest as the female broadcaster¡¯s reflections appeared on the three-sided mirror behind her. It turned out to be an array. The arrays were divided into Spiritual Arrays and Demonic Arrays, and the three mirrors behind the broadcaster named ¡°Little Chunmeng¡± formed a small Demonic Array. Those with poor constitutions are most vulnerable at night when their willpower is at its weakest. Bai Chuwei knew Qi Mo was born prematurely and had always been frail, probably that¡¯s how he got hooked. Bai Chuwei felt somewhat relieved that it wasn¡¯t an issue with Qi Mo¡¯s eyesight, otherwise she would have wanted to kick him out for losing such face. Bai Chuwei checked the gift leaderboard and saw Qi Mo¡¯s name hanging at the top, with over a hundred generous spenders listed below him. Tsk. Bai Chuwei casually opened a drawer, took out a piece of paper, leisurely wrote a sentence on it, and began folding an origami crane. By the time Xue Qiu had finally crawled back from the bushes on the first floor to the third-floor attic, he found a row of majestic birds standing proudly on the windowsill. Bai Chuwei touched the heads of a few birds before releasing the paper cranes, ¡°Go.¡± After releasing the real birds and the cranes, Bai Chuwei watched the livestreamer with relish and suddenly remembered that the video app belonged to Duan Feihan; this made things much easier. While the birds flew away, Bai Chuwei made a quick call to Duan Feihan and briefed him on the situation. Duan Feihan¡¯s eyebrows raised as he said, ¡°You want me to ban the broadcaster named ¡®Little Stupid Meng¡¯? But her livestream actually doesn¡¯t vite any of the app¡¯s policies.¡± Bai Chuwei intended to correct the name to ¡°Little Chunmeng¡±, but then she realized something: ¡°From the sound of it¡­ Duan Feihan, have you been watching that woman selling her charmste at night too?¡± Chapter 167: Little Momo, Think about How You Want to Die Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Little Momo, Think about How You Want to Die Duan Feihan had just stepped out of the bathroom when he received a call from Bai Chuwei. He paused for a moment, drying his hair with a towel as he listened to the girl¡¯s distinctive voice. Duan Feihan: ¡­ She was the one who loved to call him ¡°Hanhan,¡± no matter how much he tried to correct her, it was futile. Today, she used his full name. With the white towel draped over his shoulders, Duan Feihan¡¯s maic voice carried a slight chuckle, ¡°You don¡¯t like me watching that woman¡¯s live stream?¡± Bai Chuwei was blunt, ¡°Keep watching, and I¡¯ll gouge out your eyes.¡± How could a proper Spiritual Qi Repository be contaminated by the demonic qi seeping out of those Demonic Arrays? It was just like in ¡°Journey to the West¡±, where all the fairies wanted to steam and cook Tang Seng¡¯s flesh¡ªnone of the demons preferred smoked! At her words, Duan Feihan chuckled softly. He continued toweling off his hair and exined, ¡°I heard from a subordinate that Qi Mo was wildly gifting a female livestreamer, so I went to take a look. I turned it off after just a few seconds.¡± But he had begun to question Qi Mo¡¯s taste. The head of the Qi Family actually had such a peculiar preference. However, since he was willing to spend money on the app under his control, Duan Feihan didn¡¯t mind following Qi Mo¡¯s lead¡ªhe didn¡¯t mind making money. The Salted Fish Video app mainly dealt with short videos and live streams, with strict requirements for live broadcasting, strictly prohibiting any risqu¨¦ content, and requiring streamers not to dress too provocatively. The rules were stringent, but there was always someone who found loopholes to toe the line. For example, Little Chunmeng, a streamer, liked to call viewers who sent gifts ¡°hubby,¡± but surely they couldn¡¯t be so strict as to forbid people from speaking that way, could they?p> Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips curled, ¡°But isn¡¯t she cheating in thepetition for the ¡®Goddess Ranking?¡¯ She¡¯s cheating, you know.¡± Cheating? In the live stream on the phone, Little Chunmeng was still energetically dancing. Bai Chuwei watched dispassionately as Qi Mo sent another luxurious yacht to the unattractive female streamer. Haha, Qi Mo, you¡¯re not even this good to your own ancestors, are you? Right then, a flock of birds flew in. Little Chunmeng, panting from her dance, cooed, ¡°These birds aren¡¯t sleeping but came to see Mengmeng dance, thanks for the luxury yacht, Momo hubby.¡± The next instant, Little Chunmeng let out a hysterical scream, ¡°What the hell are you doing?!¡± Several birds, acting in unison, flew towards the triple mirrors and pecked ferociously¡ª With several ¡°crash¡± sounds, the mirrors were pecked into pieces and shattered on the ground. Many viewers who were watching the live stream suddenly came to their senses as if a wake-up call had been sounded.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Little Chunmeng was on the verge of exploding¡ªher mirrors were all smashed. Looking back at the live stream, the number of viewers continued to drop rapidly, soon to plunge below the freezing point. Completely panic-stricken, Little Chunmeng was about to speak to retain her ¡°husbands¡± when an official warning popped up in the live stream, ¡°Cheating detected in the stream, causing maliciouspetition and adverse effects, the live stream is now forcibly shut down.¡± Little Chunmeng: ¡°???¡± Qi Mo touched his face, graduallying to his senses. What had he just done? Seemed like he was gifting that streamer called Little Chunmeng again? As he pondered, a little paper crane flew in from the direction of the window, settling steadily by his desk. The paper crane, marked with red ink for eyes that were upturned with a mocking expression. Qi Mo rubbed his temples wearily, unfolded the paper crane, and read the single line written on it: ¡°Little Momo, think about how you want to die.¡± He figured he was done for. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 168: Be Good, Go to Sleep Quickly Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Be Good, Go to Sleep Quickly Little Chunmeng paced back and forth in her room, frantically pulling at her hair, as strings of profanity burst from her lips! How did her mirror suddenly get pecked? And on what grounds did they forcibly shut down her livestream? As the gold medal host of Xianyu Video APP, Little Chunmeng of course had the phone number of the team leader. She made an immediate call in the middle of the night and, without waiting for the other person to speak, Little Chunmeng¡¯s shrill voice barked, ¡°Manager Huang, you must have forgotten how you wooed me to be your live broadcast¡¯s gold medal host. There are plenty of live streaming apps out there now.¡± ¡°In one word, why did you forcibly shut down my live stream? Did I vite broadcasting rules? Did I do a ¡®pornographic¡¯ live broadcast?¡± Manager Huang remained unmoved, his voice cold, ¡°Li Chunhong, you cheated.¡± Little Chunmeng didn¡¯t even think before retorting, ¡°How did I chea¡­¡± Her voice stopped abruptly, and her face paled as she noticed the shattered pieces of mirror all over the floor. Her heart pounded wildly, and her hands involuntarily clenched her dress. Impossible, right? No one had discovered it in thest half year, so how could it suddenly just¡­ Manager Huang gritted his teeth, ¡°You¡¯ve been demoted from a gold medal host to a silver medal! Also, return all the gifts I gave you, or don¡¯t me me for not rmending your live streams in the future!¡± In his heart, Manager Huang cursed himself. He had a good rtionship with his wife, but somehow, he had been bewitched for thest half year, watching Little Chunmeng¡¯s live stream every midnight, causing numerous fights with his wife. Luckily, he was still rational during the day, having only sent some app gifts at night. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om With that thought, Manager Huang decided on the spot to take a leave tomorrow, rush to his wife¡¯s parents¡¯ house to bring his wife and child back, and beg for forgiveness on a washboard on his knees. After hanging up, Little Chunmeng¡¯s legs gave out and she slumped to the floor,nding right on the broken pieces of mirror with a scream of pain as blood flowed¡­ * Bai Chuwei touched her chin, looking with interest at the now ckened live stream screen, and clicked her tongue, ¡°Hanhan, you¡¯re quite efficient.¡± As soon as she heard that Little Chunmeng cheated, she turned around and had someone seal the live stream room. Duan Feihan sat at his desk, looking at the hardcover edition of ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon,¡± his maic voice even deeper in the night, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ve got nothing else to do, just reading.¡± That night, experts discovered the original manuscript of ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon,¡± as well as chapters thirty-seven and thirty-eight that had never been released to the public, immediately trending online. He had seen it too, so he took out the book and reviewed it. ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon?¡± Duan Feihan hummed in acknowledgment, and Bai Chuwei said proudly, ¡°Feihan, what do you think of this book? Isn¡¯t it awesome?¡± Duan Feihan nodded, ¡°Worthy of being the foremost ssical masterpiece. Also, it feels somewhat familiar.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyebrows lifted slightly, ¡°Familiar? What plot do you find familiar? It¡¯s not giarized!¡± Some of the plot was adapted from events that happened to her when she first came to this world five thousand years ago. Duan Feihan rubbed his temples, unable to exin why it felt familiar, and changed the subject, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet? Don¡¯t you have ss tomorrow?¡± Bai Chuwei chuckled, ¡°Feihan, don¡¯t you have to work tomorrow? Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± Duan Feihan, ¡°I don¡¯t feel like sleeping.¡± Bai Chuwei, ¡°I don¡¯t need to sleep.¡± Duan Feihan closed the book and, grabbing his phone, flipped open the covers andy down, his voice low and slow as if coaxing a child, ¡°Be good, go to sleep now.¡± Chapter 169: Excited Just Thinking About Him Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Excited Just Thinking About Him Bai Chuwei was slightly stunned, her heart feeling as if a strange current had skimmed over it. Bai Chuwei raised her hand, her fingertips drawing the tassels of the bell that a gentle breeze had blown over her head, the sound of the chimes flowing into her ears. She closed her eyes but her mind was crystal clear, ¡°But I can¡¯t sleep.¡± She hadn¡¯t really slept for five thousand years, mostly wandering in the sea of consciousness. Especially at night, and particrly those nights a hundred years ago, those were the loneliest and most boring of days. At least the modern city had a rich nightlife. At night, she came to the realization that she was the one who had been left behind. That¡¯s why she liked to wander into other people¡¯s dreams, finding the pleasure in watching ordinary people have sweet dreams. Bai Chuwei closed her eyes and suddenly said, ¡°Hanhan, how about I visit your dreams.¡± Duan Feihan went silent for a moment. She had appeared in his dreams many times already, causing his psychologist to look at him with a veryplicated gaze. Duan Feihan reached out to turn off the bedsidemp and said, ¡°If you can¡¯t sleep¡­ count sheep?¡± Bai Chuwei snorted with augh, without thinking said, ¡°Why count sheep when I can count you?¡± There was a pause on the other end, and Bai Chuwei suddenly opened her eyes and corrected herself, ¡°No, that¡¯s wrong, counting you would probably keep me up even more.¡± Thinking of Tang Seng meat, Bai Chuwei felt she would only get more excited. Why would she even think of sleeping? Duan Feihan coughed an unnatural light cough, ¡°¡­Goodnight.¡± The call ended, and Bai Chuweiy in bed with her eyes closed, able to hear the faint snoring of Xue Qiu in the small basket on the nightstand. Boring. * The next day when Bai Chuwei went to school, the students all around were discussing the explosive news from the wee hours of the morning¡ªthe discovery of the manuscript for ¡°Records of the Mountain Moon,¡± along with two chapters that had never been published. The likelihood of changes to the mandatory literature reading questions in the college entrance exam was quite significant. By noon, Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t even have to go to the cafeteria with Duan Xingye and the others, as Cao Yushu would bring food made by his dad. It wasn¡¯t apparent at first, but over the past few days, the ssmates began to notice something was amiss¡­ Cao Yushu seemed to have grown taller! Not only that, his whole demeanor had be much more confident, and he radiated a different energy, catching the attention of several girls in the ss. Cao Yushu looked good, had a great personality and a good family background. Now that he had grown taller and looked good enough to show off, he¡¯d make a very presentable boyfriend! The focus of attention for many was¡ªhow did Cao Yushu get taller? During this time, Cao Yushu had only been in contact with Bai Chuwei. Suddenly, the number of people wanting to book a consultation with Bai Chuwei skyrocketed! Every day, Qi Yue diligently screened those who wanted to book appointments, turning away any students who had been involved in violence. Even if they were willing to pay a consultation fee of ten thousand yuan, they wouldn¡¯t be epted. Qi Yue happily munched on the food box brought by Cao Yushu, feeling blissful enough to bubble over with joy. With her mouth full, she mumbled, ¡°Goddess, the three appointment consultations from lunchtime are done, we can head back to the ssroom now.¡± n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Bai Chuwei propped her chin, smiling but not quite smiling, ¡°Wait a bit longer, there¡¯s one more person.¡± Another person? Qi Yue looked up and saw a very familiar figure approaching from a distance. The man was handsome and dashing, with an elegant and extraordinary face. He looked particrly striking in a gray suit. Qi Yue¡¯s chopsticks dropped in shock, ¡°Brother?¡± Qi Mo took a seat at the stone table, and before he could say a word, Qi Yue was already excited, ¡°Bro, I¡¯ve been telling you to go see my goddess for treatment!¡± Bai Chuwei looked interested, ¡°Oh? What ailment is young master Qi preparing to have checked?¡± Qi Mo let out a sigh and pointed to his heart. Qi Yue was shocked, ¡°Bro, I never knew you had a heart problem!¡± Qi Mo looked ufortable, ¡°I¡¯m here to look at¡­ ack of sense.¡± Chapter 170: Did Duan Feihan Actually Make Money from Me? Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Did Duan Feihan Actually Make Money from Me? Yesterday at dawn, he suddenly woke up and saw Bai Chuwei¡¯s call log, which startled him into a cold sweat. He seemed to have hung up on the ancestral call¡­ When he tried to call back, the message ¡°phone is off¡± kept repeating; he guessed that he might have been cklisted. Qi Mo didn¡¯t dare to dy any further, so the next day he directly came to the school to apologize. Bai Chuwei smiled faintly, ¡°Oh? Is that so? I can¡¯t cure that here, but we could discuss the female live-streamer dancingte at night together.¡± Qi Mo coughed awkwardly and said to the confused Qi Yue, ¡°Yue Yue, you go back to the ssroom first, I have something to talk about with¡­ Bai, alone.¡± Upon hearing this, Qi Yue looked at Qi Mo withplex eyes, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t tell me you have some unmentionable illness that you don¡¯t want me to know about?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t,¡± Qi Mo¡¯s cheek twitched slightly as he immediately shook his head, and only then did Qi Yue leave with some doubt. In China, the eight great families have their rules. Matters concerning the ancestors are only informed to the heir-apparent, passed down orally, never leaving any written records. Qi Mo didn¡¯t know how many years Bai Chuwei had lived, he only remembered meeting a super beautiful Sister Fairy when he was four years old, and her appearance was still the same when he saw her again now. Qi Mo, who was naturally handsome and refined, called out with a gentle voice, ¡°Ancestor¡­¡± Bai Chuwei sat on the stone bench, leaning slightly against the edge of the stone table, her fair, wless arms resting on the table, her fingers idly tapping on the surface, looking at the flowers in the garden fluttering in the breeze, she said absent-mindedly, ¡°Young man, who are you? Have you mistaken me for someone else? I don¡¯t know you.¡± As long as it wasn¡¯t business, Qi Mo always had a good temper privately, so he took a gold key out of his pocket and pushed it in front of Bai Chuwei. ¡°Ancestor, this is the key to the Lingzhi safety deposit box in the Haicheng Bank¡¯s underground third-floor vault.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s eyes lit up, she immediately turned around with a smile, reached out and pinched Qi Mo¡¯s face, eximing, ¡°Isn¡¯t this our family¡¯s Mo Mo? You¡¯ve grown more handsome! Good child, good child!¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Qi Mo: ¡°¡­¡± This quick change of face, you just said ¡°I don¡¯t know you¡± a moment ago¡­ Qi Mo quickly rescued his face from Bai Chuwei¡¯s hands, coughing as he said, ¡°I¡¯ve been infatuated with that live-streamer these days for some reason.¡± Bai Chuwei looked at Qi Mo¡¯s somewhat ugly expression, her brows lightly furrowed as she said, ¡°Do you know why you were so deeply infatuated? It¡¯s because you¡¯ve had weak physical health since you were young, easily caught by any influences. Look at Duan Feihan, didn¡¯t he also watch that live-streamer? But he is fine and had no issues. What about you? You even got exploited for money!¡± The money Qi Mo spent on gifts for the live-streamer, half of it went to the tform under Duan Feihan, which meant the money ended up in Duan Feihan¡¯s pocket, right? Bai Chuwei grew more exasperated as she spoke, ¡°Look at what little ambition you have? To be exploited by Duan Feihan for money?! Do you not know that your ancestor, as soon as I returned, got away with three billion from him, and he hasn¡¯t dared to say a word to this day?¡± No wonder. No wonder the Qi Family didn¡¯t even get a mention in the original story, while Duan Feihan is cast as the viin boss. Qi Mo, chastened, felt his face heat with embarrassment, and said with nowhere to hide his shame, ¡°Ancestor, I have some news about Spiritual Medicine.¡± The very next second, Bai Chuwei gently touched his head, her voice so tender it could drip water, ¡°Good child, I was just teasing with those earlier words. Where is the Spiritual Medicine?¡± Chapter 171 - 171 Jade Talisman Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Jade Talisman The Qi Family was small in number; a few years ago, his parents passed away in a ne crash during a trip abroad, and he was forced to take charge of the Qi Family prematurely, taking good care of his young sister. In today¡¯s business world, everyone he encountered had to respectfully address him as ¡°President Qi,¡± yet they didn¡¯t know how long it had been since he wasst scolded by an elder. Qi Mo smiled gently, ¡°There is an auctioning up in Haicheng soon, and from what I know, there should be a Snow Lotus avable. Great Ancestor, are you interested?¡± Bai Chuwei stroked her chin, suddenly realizing. Tsk ¡ª the Dog System was still under repair, and when she took a quick look yesterday, the self-repair progress was at 2%.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Looking at this Trash System, Bai Chuwei wished she could pay to have it fixed by someone else; it had been over five thousand years and it still wasn¡¯t working properly. But it also indicated one thing¡­ the plot was still in progress! Bai Chuwei remembered the description in the original text: the female protagonist, Tong Qingyan, to bless Duan Xiuqi and Aunt Tong Yunrou on their marriage, wanted to present a wedding gift¡ªa jade bracelet! And the raw material for this jade bracelet was a piece of jade that Tong Qingyan identally bought at an auction, which most likely was the auction Qi Mo mentioned. The key point was that as the female antagonist, the original character identally broke the jade bracelet on the wedding day, which led to her misfortune. Tong Yunrou believed that she, a mere adopted daughter, had ruined her wedding, causing the original character to lose face in Haicheng¡¯s social circles, facing public condemnation. A cold sneer gradually appeared on Bai Chuwei¡¯s lips, such nonsense! Bai Chuwei turned her head to look at Qi Mo¡¯s pale face and lean frame, and said with a smile, ¡°This is an issue of physical fitness, and medication will not cure it. This time at the auction, snatch that piece of jade for me, and I¡¯ll make you a Jade Talisman to wear and nourish your body.¡± She was capable of drawing Spirit Talismans, but after all, talismans only worked for a few days before losing their effectiveness. If it¡¯s made from high-quality jade and imbued with Spiritual Power, wearing as a Jade Talisman couldst at least twenty years. Once Qi Mo¡¯s body was in good health, she wouldn¡¯t have to worry about this kid getting his soul hooked by some minor Demonic Array someday. Qi Mo was somewhat surprised, not expecting to benefit from this misfortune, and showed a refined smile, ¡°Of course, Great Ancestor.¡± Qi Mo pped his hands together, pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask, ¡°Great Ancestor, may I ask why you called metest night?¡± Bai Chuwei gave him a sidelong nce and said, ¡°Prepare to make a move on the Tong Family; those good-for-nothings owe me four hundred million and haven¡¯t paid it back. I need to teach them a lesson!¡± If it weren¡¯t for Tong Yunrou marrying into the Duan Family, Qi Mo, as the head of one of the eight great families, wouldn¡¯t have taken the Tong Family seriously. He softened into a smile, ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll ensure the Tong Family goes bankrupt.¡± Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue a few times, truly a promising youth. Look at that gentle face, uttering the most ruthless words. He had the courage she had when she faced down her enemies, fearless in the face of danger. ¡°Also, there¡¯s the matter of¡­ Great Ancestor, do we need to inform the other six great family heads about youing out of seclusion?¡± Qi Mo asked further. The eight great families had a very close and secretivework established among themselves. Bai Chuwei was somewhat surprised, ¡°Six great families?¡± A look of difficulty slowly emerged on Qi Mo¡¯s fair face as he said, ¡°Great Ancestor, you might not be aware since you¡¯ve been in the mountains, but the current head of the Tang Family is an illegitimate son who returned home only a few years ago.¡± And such an illegitimate son naturally would not know the secrets acknowledged by the eight great families and was clueless about the Great Ancestor. Chapter 172: Replace if Disobedient Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Rece if Disobedient Bai Chuwei didn¡¯t take it to heart and waved her hand, saying, ¡°No matter, if he doesn¡¯t obey, I can kick him out and rece him with someone else.¡± Qi Mo was startled inside and took in a cold breath. Even the eight great aristocratic families, whose mere mention could shock the whole of China, were no different from cabbages in the field before this mysterious and unfathomable elder. Obedient? One of the eight great family spots is yours. Disobedient? Very well, bring in the next one. The thing the eldercked the least was obedient servants; countless families were lining up just waiting for someone to screw up so they could take their ce. After all, Bai Chuwei already had a suitable candidate in mind¡­ ¡°As for mying out of seclusion, there¡¯s no rush,¡± Bai Chuwei said with a smile. Right now, her identity is still that of a high school student; it¡¯s better to stay low-key and not cause too much of a stir. Those old men from the prestigious families don¡¯t love anything more than face-saving; if they knew the elder wasing out of seclusion, they would definitely make a huge scene to wee her. The matter of hering out would wait a while before notifying others. Qi Mo didn¡¯t stay long, as if all younger generations had a certain fear of their elders. Even Qi Mo couldn¡¯t sit for long and soon took his leave. Bai Chuwei held the golden key in her hand, very pleased. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om The Qi Family was very good, much more obedient than those fools from the Bai Family, no wonder their ancestors managed to stand out among so many families by clinging to her coattails. However, not everyone in the Bai Family was stupid; the eldest branch was quite shrewd. Bai Chuwei, stroking her chin, smiled with a prolonged sense of meaning. The question was whether her second brother, Bai Shang, had the ability to seize this golden opportunity to make a fortune¡­ Presumably, he must be feeling quite hesitant now? * Bai Shang looked exhausted, with a hint of red under his eyes from staying up all night. He carried his briefcase down from the car and walked towards his house. Although he had his own ce outside, since he and his elder brother, Bai Ze, were both unmarried, they often went back home to stay. He had been at thepany these past two days, poring over various reports and data, and¡­ observing the Tong Family¡¯s businesses. A gut feeling convinced him to believe what his cousin Weiwei had said: disaster loomed for the Tong Family, and there was a fortune to be made from it. But reason told him that the Tong Family was at its zenith; how could anything go wrong? No matter how capable Weiwei was, could she really foresee the future? Two conflicting thoughts fought crazily in his mind, and thus far, no victor had emerged, leaving him very hesitant. The Bai Family was not the Duan Family; one misstep could mean they¡¯d never get back up. Having stayed up for two consecutive nights at thepany, Bai Shang was very weary. Upon entering, he saw that some of Haicheng¡¯s elitedies and young mistresses were sitting elegantly in his home, enjoying afternoon tea. ¡°The second young master is back? Thedy of the house is hosting a small afternoon tea party,¡± Uncle Chen said with a smile. Bai Shang greeted thedies and mistresses with surprise, ¡°An afternoon tea party?¡± Thedies in Haicheng¡¯s high society circles loved to hold afternoon tea parties, but his mother disliked them, so why the sudden interest in hosting one now? Liu Man, with legs crossed, lightly sipped her tea and scoffed at the finedy sitting beside her, ¡°This is the first time my sister-inw has held an afternoon tea party; something is bound to go wrong.¡± ¡°Could it be she¡¯s using the tea party as a pretext to arrange a meeting for her two sons?¡± someone spected. Just as the gathereddies and young mistresses were curious about Yang Shuhui¡¯s actions, the elegant and dignified Yang Shuhui descended from the second-floor staircase, covering her mouth with a lightugh, ¡°I invited everyone today just for a casual get-together over tea, nothing more.¡± Everyone looked over and inhaled a sharp breath. Damn, did Yang Shuhui get stic surgery? Look how gorgeous she¡¯s be? Chapter 173: Are You Mistreating Your Foster Daughter? Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Are You Mistreating Your Foster Daughter? Yang Shuhui had already reached fifty years old. Although in her youth she was one of the most beautiful women in Haicheng, beauty cannot withstand the passage of time, and ultimately everyone ages. Today, Yang Shuhui, for some reason, looked radiant. Her slightly curled, shoulder-length brown hair shone, and not a single wrinkle could be found on her face. Her skin seemed to glow with added brightness. Clothed in a sapphire blue cheongsam, she descended from the second floor with a noble and graceful air. To say Yang Shuhui looked like a thirty-year-old woman would raise no doubts! The wealthy matrons anddies of high society present were all watching in astonishment. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Was this just a casual get-together as she had said? This was clearly a unt of her newfound beauty! I mean, who doesn¡¯t love beauty, especially thesedies from affluent backgrounds? They had no worries about food or career; if they didn¡¯t fuss over their faces, they would not be doing justice to their high-society birthright! Onedy couldn¡¯t hold back her impatience, ¡°Mrs. Bai, which medical beauty clinic did you go to for your face? The results are too good!¡± Look at thatplexion¡ªlike you could literally pinch water out of it! Yang Shuhui couldn¡¯t remember thest time she¡¯d received such admiring nces! Yang Shuhui smiled modestly and said, ¡°What medical beauty clinic? I¡¯ve just been taking good care of my skin as usual.¡± Pfft¡ªLiar! If skincare products could achieve this effect, all the medical beauty clinics would be out of business! A group of wealthydies tried to hide their envy, but it was clearly written in their eyes. A youngerdy asked doubtfully, ¡°Aunt Yang, just how did you be so beautiful? It can¡¯t be skincare products, and surely not medical beauty treatments, right?¡± Liu Man furrowed her brow and stared relentlessly at Yang Shuhui, ¡°Did you get injections at a clinic? Didn¡¯t we just have dinner togetherst night?¡± If she really had gotten injections, she would¡¯ve mocked this older sister-inw atst night¡¯s gathering. How could she not notice? Liu Man was naturally assertive. Her branch of the Bai Family couldn¡¯tpete with the main branch in any respect. Her own husband was underachieving, and Bai Yinyin was just mediocre, while she couldn¡¯t even produce a son¡ªunlike Yang Shuhui, who was blessed with two outstanding ones. The only thing she couldpete with was that she took better care of her face than Yang Shuhui. What in the world was going on? How could there be such a huge change overnight? Someone teased, ¡°Liu Man, if you walked alongside your sister-inw, people might mistake her for your younger sister!¡± Liu Man¡¯s face darkened as she clenched her back teeth tight. Nonsense! Yang Shuhui eyed Liu Man, her mouth curling slightly, ¡°I actually have my niece to thank for that. During our family dinnerst night, she gave me a Beauty Pill. I only took half.¡± Yang Shuhui had been worried that eating such things might upset her stomach, but her curiosity got the best of her. So after some hesitation, she cut the pill in half and took only one part. She had a wonderful sleep that night, and when she woke up, she didn¡¯t notice anything unusual. But her husband, Bai Hongmin, seemed unusually interested in being intimate that morning. That old rascal wouldn¡¯t even get out of bed unless she obliged. When she finally got up at noon and looked in the mirror, she waspletely stunned. She¡­ nearly fainted from her own beauty! How could she not host an afternoon tea to celebrate bing so beautiful? Someone in surprise said, ¡°Niece? The adopted girl from the Bai Family¡¯s second branch? Isn¡¯t her name Bai Chuwei? Huh¡­ strange. Isn¡¯t she Liu Man¡¯s adopted daughter? Why didn¡¯t she give one to Liu Man?¡± Another person yfully asked, ¡°Liu Man, you wouldn¡¯t be mistreating your adopted daughter, would you?¡± Liu Man¡¯s face turned pale, and she began to stutter, ¡°This¡­ I¡­¡± Yang Shuhui watched the troubled Liu Man, feeling very pleased within. Liu Man, even you have days like this?! Bai Shang was slowly formting an idea¡­ Chapter 174 - 174 Do this job! Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Do this job! ¡°Olddy came today just to show off this face!¡± Yang Shuhui¡¯s face showed modesty, but inside, her heart bubbled with joy. Liu Man, besieged by questions from the surrounding wealthydies, gritted her teeth andughed awkwardly, ¡°How could I possibly mistreat my foster daughter? She¡¯s well cared for at home. Sigh¡­ Maybe I¡¯ve raised an ungrateful wretch, I¡¯m so good to her as her foster mother, and yet I¡¯ve never seen her give anything in return.¡± Having said so, Liu Man appeared very upset and sighed heavily. The group of wealthydies around her hadn¡¯t seen Bai Chuwei, and upon hearing Liu Man¡¯s vivid description, couldn¡¯t help but sigh sympathetically. It sounded very much like ingratitude. Now that Yang Shuhui had enough presence, and was superior to Liu Man in every way, she scoffed, ¡°Last night when Weiwei was giving them out, didn¡¯t you all think it was a scam preying on the elderly, selling health products, saying you wouldn¡¯t even want them if offered?¡± ¡°Since you all didn¡¯t want it, why should she give anything? Why should she offer her warm face up to your cold asses?¡± Caught off guard by the remark, Liu Man immediately felt embarrassed. Yang Shuhui gently touched her face, soft as a peeled hard-boiled egg, and smiled tenderly, ¡°Sister-inw, didn¡¯t you ask me to try it for youst night? Now I feel¡­ it¡¯s very, very good!¡± The effect was obviously good. Liu Man was so angry she almost spat blood and clenched her palms tightly! Even if Liu Man said she didn¡¯t care, seeing Yang Shuhui¡¯s face today made her seethe with envy. Beautiful! It was so much better than cosmetic procedures, beauty that seemed to radiate from inside out. A socialitedy couldn¡¯t hold back any longer, staring eagerly at Yang Shuhui: ¡°Aunt Yang, I heard you only took half? Could you sell the other half to me? If it really works, I¡¯ll pay¡­ oh, not a hundred thousand but two hundred thousand.¡± Fearing that Yang Shuhui would agree immediately, another wealthydy quickly interjected, ¡°Xiaohui, weren¡¯t we ssmates back then? Could you possibly give me the remaining half? If it really works as it did for you, I¡¯ll pay you five hundred thousand!¡± ¡°Mrs. Bai, I¡¯m willing to pay for it too!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In an instant, Yang Shuhui became the center of attention, like a queen with stars circling around her. Even Liu Man had never experienced such treatment in her life. Liu Man¡¯s face turned pale, her mind churning with the name Bai Chuwei¡­ that foster daughter was truly biting the hand that fed her. How could she give such a good thing to her great-aunt rather than her own foster mother? Even in Bai Chuwei¡¯s absence, Liu Man felt as if she had been pped hard across the face by her. Yesterday evening, their family of three was ¡°sober among the drunken,¡± thinking themselves wise; did Bai Chuwei just consider them foolish for not recognizing the true value? The more Liu Man thought about it, the angrier she became, and in a fit of rage, she stormed out mming the door behind her. Now, everyone was busy begging Yang Shuhui for the remaining half of the Beauty Pill, who had time to pay attention to Liu Man? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om If she wants to leave, let her go; the door is right there, and nobody¡¯s stopping her! Having one less personpeting for the Beauty Pill was better than anything. Yang Shuhui was bubbling with happiness, watching her enthusiastic sisters, and said with some difficulty: ¡°Although the Beauty Pill was given to me by my niece, it was after all given by her. Without her permission, I cannot just give it away to someone else.¡± Throughout the years, Yang Shuhui had maintained a good rtionship with her husband and Mrs. Bai, not only because of her family background and beauty but also because Yang Shuhui was very sensible. The fact that Bai Chuwei did not give the Beauty Pill to Liu Man meant she was selective about whom she gave gifts to. This pill, even sold for a million, would have women lining up to buy it. Even if she were to give it away, at the very least she had to inform Bai Chuwei. Bai Shang watched the frenzy of privilegeddies, clenching his fists subconsciously and grinding his teeth. It seemed like he could make a fortune off of this! Just then, a loud rumbling noise like an explosion came from upstairs¡­ Chapter 175: Grandpa is So Biased Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Grandpa is So Biased Thedies downstairs were so scared that they lost all color in their faces, nearly grabbing their purses and running off. Could it be an earthquake? Or had the Bai Family¡¯s house exploded? The next moment, a loud, joyous, and excitedugh came from the second floor: ¡°Hahaha¡­ I did it!¡± Did it? A burly young man appeared, leaping down from the second floor in his excitement. The noblewomen and socialites on site screamed in shock, hands over their mouths! Bai Zended with ease, without a trace of injury. He stood up, his eyes brimming with wild joy, and his bronze face suddenly changed as he began to cry openly, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ve seeded in Qi Refinement! I¡¯ve been studying martial arts in Qingxuan Mountain for twenty years, and today I finally made a breakthrough in Qi Refinement¡­¡± A socialitedy eximed, shocked: ¡°Qi Refinement? You¡­ you¡¯re cultivating immortality?¡± What the fuck, could people actually cultivate immortality in this world? Another wealthydyughed: ¡°What cultivation¡­ ¡± She couldn¡¯t even finish the word ¡°immortality¡± when the entire hall fell into dead silence. Pair after pair of eyes watched in shock as Bai Ze casually picked up a ss and crushed it into powder with his fingers; the remaining sip of water turned into vapor¡­ Dead silence. After a minute of deathly silence in the hall, a wealthydy swallowed hard, finally managing to say, ¡°The Bai Family¡­ sure has its share of capable people.¡± Bai Shang clenched his teeth, patted Bai Ze on the shoulder, and rushed upstairs with his briefcase. This deal was in the bag! The Tong Family was about to face disaster, weren¡¯t they? He didn¡¯t mind scooping up a good chunk of money in the process. Bai Shang put on his sses and kept calling his assistants and department managers from his study, his mustache quivering with each word. Didn¡¯t the Tong Family have a big project recently? Good, previously hispany didn¡¯t dare to covet it, but now he couldn¡¯t be med for having ideas¡­ n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Bai Shang was exceedingly good at business; he just needed someone to push him from behind, and now Bai Chuwei had given him this opportunity! The more Bai Shang strategized, the more excited he became¡ªif the Tong Family really faced trouble, his Bai enterprise could at least take over half of their business! ¡°Bai Chuwei¡ª!¡± Bai Shang mmed his hand on the desk as he stood up. Outside the door, Bai Ze knocked, ¡°Second brother, do you want toe with me to uncle¡¯s ce? I want to go see cousin Weiwei.¡± Go! Of course, he had to go. The afternoon tea party downstairs had ended, and a group of nobledies and socialites left reluctantly. If they opened a beauty salon like this, wouldn¡¯t the doors be worn out from all the traffic? * Bai Chuwei felt that life could sometimes be difficult to endure; at school she didn¡¯t want to study, and at home the only things to do besides concocting medicines were feeding birds and hamsters. Bai Chuwei leaned on the table listlessly, feeding millet to the small birds at the window. Footsteps sounded outside, and Bai Chuwei paused in her bird-feeding, a smile that was not quite a smile appearing on her beautiful face. The nanny, Aunt Chen, pursed her lips and said to the two men, ¡°Young masters, Miss Chuwei lives here, I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡± Bai Ze and Bai Shang couldn¡¯t believe it¡ªBai Chuwei was actually living in the attic? Bai Shang took a deep breath and was about to knock when the door¡ªnext instant¡ªopened by itself. What the fuck! This was definitely not an automatic door. Anguid and ethereal voice came from inside: ¡°Come in.¡± The moment they entered, they saw Bai Chuwei lounging at the table, ying with the bird. So¡­ who opened the door just now? Bai Shang inspected Bai Chuwei¡¯s bedroom closely; it wasn¡¯t that different from a typical girl¡¯s room except for a faint medicinal scent. Bai Chuwei turned her head, sitting in her chair without getting up, her demeanorpletely lordly as she asked with interest, ¡°What do you want to tell me?¡± Bai Ze looked at his mysterious new cousin, his mind going nk. He finally managed to say, ¡°Grandpa¡­ Grandpa is so biased.¡± The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 176: Who’s the Lucky One to Be So Fortunate? Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Who¡¯s the Lucky One to Be So Fortunate? Being able to produce Beauty Pills that increase Yang Shuhui¡¯s beauty by N-fold, and to give him a book that allows him to break into the Qi Refinement Realm immediately¡ªcould this be just any ordinary person? Grandpa is so biased! Why not list Bai Chuwei under their parent¡¯s name? Then she wouldn¡¯t just be a cousin, but a real sister, bringing them even closer together. Bai Shang did understand why Bai Guofu would do such a thing, considering that his second uncle¡¯s family was really too disappointing; they needed some support. But from the looks of it, the second uncle and aunt didn¡¯t take it seriously at all, just wasting Grandpa¡¯s painstaking efforts. Bai Shang swallowed hard and said, ¡°Cousin Weiwei, I¡¯ve decided to get involved in the Tong Family¡¯s affairs.¡± Bai Chuwei wasn¡¯t surprised at all; her smile grew even wider. If Bai Shang followed her, he could see himself on the Forbes list of the wealthy in the future. Following the original male and female protagonists, forget making money, just wait for the family to fall apart and people to die. Bai Ze sat down on a small stool beside them, excitedly telling everyone he had entered the Qi Refinement Realm, and after hesitating for a moment, he took off a peace charm from his waist and handed it to Bai Chuwei, ¡°Cousin Weiwei, this is for you.¡± Propping her chin, Bai Chuwei looked at the peace charm with interest but didn¡¯t reach out to take it: ¡°Oh?¡± Bai Ze exined, a bit embarrassed: ¡°I didn¡¯t know students don¡¯t like gifts like revision materials. Since you weren¡¯t satisfied with thest gift, I¡¯ll change it for this one.¡± ¡°This is a peace charm that my master condensed with half of his life¡¯s cultivation base¡ªit¡¯s meant to protect me, but now I¡¯m giving it to you, cousin.¡± Bai Chuwei¡¯s face was full of smiling intent, her tone bing morenguid like a cat that had just woken up: ¡°No need.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s bronze face became anxious, and he hurriedly exined: ¡°Cousin Weiwei, don¡¯t you believe in these things? This peace charm really works; it¡¯s not a scam from some street hustler.¡± This was Bai Ze¡¯s most treasured possession, which he wouldn¡¯t even let others touch, let alone see. Bai Ze had made up his mind with great determination before deciding to give this peace charm to Bai Chuwei. And she doesn¡¯t want it! Bai Chuwei smiled even more brightly, ¡°I believe, but¡­ I have plenty of such things.¡± Bai Ze was baffled: ¡°???¡± Plenty of them? No, that¡¯s not right, this isn¡¯t some random peace charm that you can buy from a street stall¡ªthis one has magic and spiritual power! Bai Chuwei raised her eyebrows slightly: ¡°Don¡¯t believe it? I¡¯ll write a few for you and guarantee they¡¯re more useful than what you have right now.¡± Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue, opened a drawer and took out a piece of yellow paper along with cinnabar and a brush. ¡°What type do you want? One for safety, or for protecting the home? Perhaps to attract love? Or bring bad luck?¡± Bai Ze and Bai Shang were both dumbfounded. Soon, Bai Ze quivered with shock, realizing something, ¡°Weiwei¡­ can you actually draw Spirit Talismans?¡± Bai Chuwei simply smiled, picked up the brush and dabbed it in cinnabar, her movements extremely quick as she wrote a series of characters on the yellow paper. Then¡­ one after another, she kept writing. Just like cabbage in the field, not worth much¡­ Bai Ze: ¡°???¡± That¡¯s not right, who makes Spirit Talismans like this? Without even taking a breath. Making talismans isn¡¯t just calligraphy! It took his master at least half a month just to make one talisman! Bai Chuwei put down the brush, looked at the two shocked faces and asked with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t you believe these talismans work?¡± Bai Ze and Bai Shang said nothing, feeling it would be wrong to speak their current thoughts and fearing to be proven wrong if they said otherwise, so they simply kept quiet. Bai Chuwei softly touched her chin and casually took out a Bad Luck Talisman: ¡°Let¡¯s do an experiment then.¡± n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°Come on, let¡¯s see which lucky person is going to be so fortunate.¡± Just at that moment, the sound of Liu Man cursing andining came from downstairs¡­ Chapter 177 - 177 Congratulations to the Lucky One! Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Congrattions to the Lucky One! Congrattions to the lucky one! As soon as Liu Man got home, she threw her handbag onto the sofa. Bai Yinyin, who hade downstairs to eat some fruit, was somewhat surprised, ¡°Mom, who are you cursing?¡± Liu Man was so infuriated by Yang Shuhui and Bai Chuwei that her liver ached! She hadn¡¯t suffered a loss at Yang Shuhui¡¯s hands for many years, but today, she was outdone by her sister-inw, which left Liu Man feeling stifled. ¡°Who else but that little fairy raised by our own family? The things she gave to your uncle¡¯s family yesterday turned out to be real!¡± Bai Yinyin¡¯s fruit-eating paused for a moment, taken aback. Real? Wasn¡¯t that just some scam preying on middle-aged and elderly people with health products? Liu Man beat her chest in frustration, gritting her teeth with irritation, ¡°Yinyin, you didn¡¯t see how much prettier your aunt has be. She could pass as your older sister when she goes out!¡± Which woman doesn¡¯t love beauty? Regardless of Liu Man or Bai Yinyin, no matter their age, they all love to look good. Even Bai Yinyin felt somewhat tempted hearing this. Her mother would never deceive her. Bai Yinyin immediately put down the fruit te, a hint of anger appeared between her brows, and she mored, ¡°What does Bai Chuwei mean by this? She freeloads at our ce, even staying in our house, so why didn¡¯t she give anything to us?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this the very definition of ingratitude?!¡± ¡°Madam, Miss, actually¡­¡± The nanny, Chen Ayi, was anxious and wanted to tell Liu Man and Bai Yinyin that the young masters Bai Ze and Bai Shang had arrived, but Liu Man didn¡¯t give her a chance. Liu Man looked up toward the attic on the third floor, her skin itching with irritation at the thought of Yang Shuhui¡¯s face, and said to Bai Yinyin, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go find Bai Chuwei and get her to give us one too¡­ No, she¡¯s been living in our house for so long, she should at least give us a bottle.¡± The mother and daughter exchanged nces and headed together to the third floor. Bai Chuwei smiled charmingly, ¡°Let¡¯s choose this lucky one then.¡± Bai Chuwei swiftly and decisively flicked the Yellow Talisman between her index and middle finger towards the doorway¡ª Bai Ze¡¯s heart thumped wildly, watching. Was his cousin Weiwei some kind of immortal cultivator? The footsteps were getting closer, the mother and daughter were already panting by the time they reached the third floor. Liu Man suddenly raised her foot and then, her feet slipped underneath her, a sharp scream erupted! ¡°Aah¡ª¡± Bai Yinyin was stunned, watching Liu Man tumble down the stairs and fall at the corner of the second-floornding, wailing in pain. Bai Yinyin hurried over, ¡°Mom? Mom, are you okay?¡± Liu Man, in so much pain cold sweat covered her forehead, wished she could roll on the floor, ¡°My leg, my leg hurts. It hurts so much, call 120 quickly!!¡± Bai Yinyin nodded dazedly and rushed to get her phone to call an ambnce. Up in the attic, Bai Chuwei looked down at Bai Ze and Bai Shang, who were in shock, with a beaming smile, ¡°Useful, isn¡¯t it?¡± Both were filled with the sounds of Aunt Liu Man¡¯s wailing from outside¡­ Damn, the talisman Bai Chuwei casually drew actually worked! Bai Shang frowned, ¡°Aunt Liu Man is okay, right?¡± Bai Chuweimented, ¡°How could I, being so kind, let my foster mother get hurt? She¡¯ll just have to lie in the hospital for three or four days at most.¡± Look how nice she was, knowing that Yinyin was going to take the college entrance exams, Chuwei had spared her. Bai Ze and Bai Shang both fell silent. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Kind? Weiwei, you really are ¡°kind¡±. Because of Liu Man¡¯s fall down the stairs, which likely resulted in a fracture, the whole Bai Family was thrown into chaos. After a quick examination by the ambnce medics, they estimated Liu Man would need to be hospitalized for a week, and hurriedly took the patient to the hospital. The nanny, Chen Ayi, watched Liu Man being taken to the hospital, her heart suddenly pounding with excitement. With thedy of the house away for a week, what about her and Bai Hongguang¡­ The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
