A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1267:

Baiyu looked at the scene, feeling slightly puzzled.

What’s going on here?

Who are these two individuals who look like young masters?

Seeing Baiyu approaching, Bai Guangtao revealed a kind smile on his face: "These two were captured by your sister; they are the masterminds who plotted against you, causing you to fall from your horse. One is from the Dongcheng Wang family, the other from the Xicheng Zhang family’s legitimate sons.

Your sister says you should decide how to deal with them."

For a moment.

Baiyu did not expect things to develop in this direction; he had no impression of these two.

But right now, he couldn’t express that.

Otherwise.

It would definitely reveal the truth.

After all, being part of the same city’s playboy generation, how could they not know each other?

Baiyu stared at the two men.

At this moment, the two men’s gaze also turned to Baiyu, their faces showing pleading expressions: "Brother Bai, we were obsessed and confused."

"That day, it was the Third Prince’s son who incited us, and that’s why we poisoned your horse. If not for that, even with ten times the courage, we wouldn’t dare to harm you."

"Please spare us this once."

The two knelt on the ground, begging bitterly.

Baiyu frowned slightly, which meant there might be more to the story behind his previous fall from the horse.

How was the Third Prince’s son connected to him?

For a moment, Baiyu suddenly felt that his identity might not be simple. However, he wasn’t in the mood to care about these matters. He said to Bai Guangtao, "Do whatever you want with them; I’m not interested in this.

By the way.

Do you know where I can train in martial arts?"

Bai Guangtao had long been accustomed to Baiyu’s tone.

This son just liked speaking this way, lacking in decorum, partly due to Bai Guangtao’s excessive pampering since Baiyu’s mother passed away early. With no maternal affection from a young age, Bai Guangtao could only give all his love to this son.

As a result, he ended up raising such a pampered brat.

"Martial arts training?"

At this moment.

Bai Guangtao heard the term, it was like hearing the sun rise from the west. But after thinking it over, it might have been triggered by his encounter with death, sparking his desire to train in martial arts to become stronger. It’s a good thing, better than his previous idle days.

Whether it’s studying or martial arts training.

Both are viable paths.

"We do; our Bai Family has martial artists. If you want to train in martial arts, I can call them anytime to teach you."

"It has to be someone powerful, at least one ranked top five in Jiangdi City."

"Top five?"

Bai Guangtao pondered.

Indeed, ranking top five means being an exceptional expert in Jiangdi City, securing their help isn’t easy, but Bai Guangtao has his ways.

For the sake of his only son.

Bai Guangtao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I’ll make arrangements."

Baiyu didn’t reply, turned, and left the inner hall.

Bai Guangtao looked at the two young masters, spoke gravely: "Lock them in the Water Prison first, until the Wang and Zhang families offer a sufficient ransom."

This time, Bai Guangtao wouldn’t let the Wang and Zhang families off without a significant price.

...

Back in the courtyard.

The more Baiyu thought about it, the more he felt that since the Third Prince’s son had already acted once, he would surely act again.

Instead.

It might be better to strike first.

At least investigate the opponent’s background first; otherwise, with the enemy in the dark and himself in the open, it would be a huge disadvantage.

"However, there must be experts in the Prince’s Mansion; previously when I acted in Jie Lifeng’s courtyard, people took notice.

A Prince’s Mansion.

It’s impossible not to have cultivators.

The Qingyang Dynasty is essentially an Immortal Cultivation Sect, as a prince within the dynasty, he might even be a cultivator himself, possibly with considerable strength."

Considering this, Baiyu realized that rash actions could easily lead to unforeseen consequences.

Currently, he’s not in peak condition.

Once his identity as an outsider evil spirit is discovered, he would likely be attacked by cultivators collectively, and stuck in a tight situation, that would be troublesome.

He needs to speed up his recovery.

After becoming a cultivator, using the Immortal Cultivation Technique from the Profound Origin Realm might help quickly solve the bud’s restriction.

While Baiyu lay comfortably in the courtyard on the vine chair, recuperating and restoring his Blood Qi, suddenly, several powerful Divine Thoughts surged up in the city, all sweeping towards one direction.

"That direction, seems like it’s the Jiangdi City suburbs, Bai Changqiu seems to be heading that way."

Baiyu thought to himself.

What’s happening?

Only matters involving cultivators could alarm so many people; currently Baiyu hopes nothing happens to Bai Changqiu, because Bai Family relies on her. If anything goes wrong, Bai Family will collapse.

The current favorable situation.

It’s likely Bai Family cannot sustain it.

Baiyu took a deep breath, prepared slightly, then instructed the maid beside him: "I’m going out for a while, no need to inform the master. If asked, say I’ve gone to Drunken Spring Pavilion to drink."

The maid naturally wouldn’t dare defy Baiyu’s words.

She knew Baiyu’s temper well; previously, a maid who defied him was sent to work on Bai Family’s estate and probably would never return to Bai Mansion.

...

In Wuzi Forest.

Several stout men in tight outfits blocked Bai Changqiu and her party at the crossroads.

"Du Zilong, I’ve already informed you, this matter is urgent. If the escaped Exotic Beast regains its strength, it might greatly affect your Wuzi Forest."

Bai Changqiu’s eyes were cold: "If this beast recovers, it will be you who suffer. Now we can help you resolve this."

However.

The leader among them, Du Zilong of the Du family, smiled nonchalantly: "No need for your trouble, Wuzi Forest is Du Family’s territory; whatever the situation inside, we’ll naturally handle it ourselves. Your uninvited arrival is already a breach of etiquette.

Now retreat.

We, the Du family, will pretend nothing happened."

Upon hearing this.

Bai Changqiu frowned, gripping the sword hilt tightly: "So, you’re refusing to let us pass?"

"Hmph, what do you intend to do?"

Du Zilong stood firm.

Just as tensions rose, with swords drawn and ready for action.

Deep within Wuzi Forest.

A sudden beast roar echoed, incredibly piercing.

Bai Changqiu’s expression changed; it was definitely the Moon Rock Beast’s roar.

"The Moon Rock Beast is indeed within your Wuzi Forest; it’s an Exotic Beast escaping from the Star Shining Sect, yet you do everything to obstruct us from subduing this beast. What is your intent?"

Bai Changqiu shouted angrily.

Du Zilong frowned; upon hearing the roar, it seemed his entire mind was ensnared by it.

The Du Family members immediately retreated, rushing towards the source of the roar deep in Wuzi Forest.

Seeing this.

Bai Changqiu wouldn’t miss such a rare opportunity, quickly followed suit.
