Bai Tuantuan said, "I won't stoop to the level of something that's not human!"

Bai Tuantuan distributed the cooked porridge to the disaster victims, listening to their stories of the hardships they had endured along the way. Overwhelmed with emotion, she even shed tears.

“We are from the same village. We rely on the weather for our livelihood, but we never expected this winter to be so cold. The crops all died, and the landslide behind the mountain crushed our houses.”

"If we hadn't run fast, we probably would have lost our lives there."

"What forced us to leave even more was that the people of the Nabai River Kingdom killed us refugees on sight. We had no choice but to leave our homeland."

After a pause, Old Zhang continued, "It's just that our village is too remote. Even if the people in the imperial court wanted to govern us, it would take them some time. But the people of Baihe Kingdom don't give us any time!"

Old Zhang wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his blackened hand: "Thank you so much. If it weren't for your porridge, we probably wouldn't have made it to tomorrow."

Chen Lingfeng looked at these people pitifully and couldn't help but say to Ning Nanxiao, "How about we take out some meat?"

"A hundred meters of kindness can breed resentment, but a hundred meters of resentment can breed hatred," Ning Nanxiao replied calmly.

Chen Xingfeng chimed in, "Nan Xiao is right. Although we have some food, we have so many people in our families, so we have to eat it sparingly."

Chen Lingfeng nodded quickly; he had misunderstood something.

After the disaster victims finished their porridge, Feng Yue took out a lot of old clothes for the children and the elderly to wear before watching them leave.

Not long after these people left, Rong Manyi returned.

"Second Aunt! Is it news about my Sixth Uncle?" Bai Tuantuan ran over quickly, looking at Rong Manli expectantly.

Rong Manli shook her head, pursed her lips, and seeing that everyone was looking at her, she simply braced herself and said, "News has come from Baihe Kingdom that General Bai has disappeared."

"What?" Old Master Bai and Old Madam Bai exclaimed simultaneously, hurriedly asking, "What exactly happened?"

Rong Manyi took a deep breath and slowly said, "General Bai's negotiations with Baihe Kingdom failed, and Baihe Kingdom tore up the agreement between the two countries to maintain friendly relations. If General Bai had not reacted quickly and left overnight, he would probably have been killed."

"General Bai knew he couldn't leave Baihe Kingdom, so he contacted the people of Fengyue Pavilion. But our people arrived too late. When they got to the signal point, they only saw General Bai's token on the edge of the cliff."

As soon as Rong Manli finished speaking, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"Sixth Brother is the most clever. He has escaped danger several times on the battlefield. This time, he will definitely be fine." Old Bai took a deep breath and said slowly, "We must see him alive or dead. We must not panic."

Madam Bai opened her mouth, but no word came out.

"grandmother……"

Seeing that Old Madam Bai was unsteady on her feet, Bai Tuantuan quickly went over to her.

“Mother, don’t worry, Sixth Brother will be alright.” Chen Zhixiu supported Old Madam Bai and comforted her, “My brother and sister-in-law will definitely find Sixth Brother.”

Madam Bai placed her hand on Chen Zhixiu, nodded, and looked at Rong Manli with expectant eyes.

Rong Manli cupped her hands in greeting: "Don't worry, Aunt Bai, I will definitely find General Bai."

Soon, the three Chen brothers returned. After sending out the letter, Chen Xiaoran went to the prefectural government office and happened to run into Chen Yijun and Chen Wenxiu.

Nan Nian went over and told Chen Xiaoran about Bai Haotian's situation, and worry appeared in Chen Xiaoran's eyes.

"You all come with me into the room," Chen Luo said to the three Chen brothers, Nan Nian, and Rong Manli.

Then he looked at Feng Yue and said, "Old woman, you and Xiu'er Tuantuan keep an eye on Brother Bai and Sister-in-law."

"Xingfeng and Lingfeng, you two take the Ning family boy and prepare some food."

In the study, Chen Luo stood with his hands behind his back and pondered for a while before saying, "Xiu'er's biological parents want to adopt you as their godson."

Chen Xiaoran was taken aback: "What?"

"The Bai family genealogy," Chen Luo said again.

"What!" Nan Nian exclaimed in surprise, "We need to be included in the family genealogy?"

Chen Luo nodded and continued, "As you all know, although they are all adopted sons, there is a difference between being listed in the family genealogy and not being listed. Being listed in the genealogy means being a member of the Bai family, sharing in the prosperity and decline of the Bai family. It can be said that there is no difference between them and biological sons."

"Is it because of Xiu'er?" Chen Wenxiu asked.

Chen Luo shook his head: "It's not just because of Xiu'er, but also because of yourselves. I originally refused, but Brother Bai said that although you are powerful, a higher rank can crush you. Even if you don't think about yourselves, you should think about Xingfeng and Lingfeng."

"Brother Bai also said that this was the idea of ​​the four Bai brothers."

After saying that, Chen Luo took out several letters from his desk and handed them to them: "These are letters from Bai Zeyi."

After reading it, Chen Xiaoran and the others fell silent.

It must be said that the Bai family was completely considering things from their own perspective.

Chen Luo sighed: "Your father is just an unknown figure in the martial arts world. Although I know some martial arts and have no worries about food and clothing, my life is not stable enough."

“I know you three brothers. If it weren’t for our poverty back then, you could have passed the imperial examinations. In the end, it is your mother and I who have let you down.”

"Dad, what are you saying? You and Mom have already given us the best." Chen Yijun frowned. "Don't be so dramatic. You're not like the old man who used to chase after us three brothers and spank us!"

"You brat!" Chen Luo glared at Chen Yijun, annoyed. "Alright, I'll take responsibility for this on your behalf."

"I called you to the study to tell you that the Bai brothers treat you like their own brothers, and you should do the same. After all, they've even included your birth order in their family tree. Bai Haotian must be found!"

"Yes, Father!"

The group agreed in unison.

Then, Bai Tuantuan watched as her three uncles and two aunts got busy, with pigeons constantly appearing, men in black constantly appearing, and bodyguards constantly appearing...

Even Old Madam Bai noticed something was wrong and, holding Chen Zhixiu's hand, asked, "Xiu'er, has something happened at home?"

Bai Tuantuan was extremely anxious, going to the trading space ten times a day to watch over the growth of the thousand-year-old wild ginseng.

Late at night, Chen Wenxiu quickly arrived at the main house: "There's news."

Chen Luo quickly opened the letter. After reading the few words on it, he was about to give some instructions when he saw that everyone had come over. So he simply handed the letter to Elder Bai: "Brother Bai, don't worry, our people have found Haotian's whereabouts, which is enough to prove that he is still alive."

"Good, good! It's good that you're alive!" Old Master Bai and Madam Bai breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Brother Chen, I have to go back to the capital."

"Then we'll send you back to the capital when the snow lightens a bit." Chen Luo also knew that with Bai Haotian missing, the court would likely struggle to hold on if it relied solely on Bai Zeyi.

However, Old Bai shook his head: "I can't wait any longer. I have to leave first thing tomorrow morning."

"No, this is too dangerous!" Chen Zhixiu was the first to object. "Father, Mother, the weather is cold, your bodies can't take it!"

"No, no, Grandpa and Grandma can't leave!" Bai Tuantuan panicked, realizing once again that she really didn't know anything!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Grandfather is afraid that everyone's attention will be on Sixth Uncle, which will be detrimental to Sixth Uncle and even the Bai family. Then let's make the Bai family more high-profile! Grandfather, can we have Fourth Uncle tell everyone that we have been found?"

"Will this work? Won't this just draw even more attention to the Bai family?" Chen Lingfeng said in a low voice.

"What do you think, brother?"

Chen Xingfeng frowned and shook his head.

Ning Nanxiao chuckled and said, "Good idea. Grandpa Bai, you taught me this. When everyone is secretly trying to cause trouble for you, it's better to be more high-profile and attract more attention. That way, everyone will wait for the other to make the first move, and you will be the safest one."

Old Bai laughed heartily, stroking his white beard, and looked at Bai Tuantuan approvingly: "Good, good, good! A good idea!"

Chen Zhixiu patted Bai Tuantuan's head. She had had this idea earlier in the day: to return to the capital first.

Xiao Guangyuan, we're about to meet. Are you ready?
